the right to decide its own form of government.
But what statesman publicist of any standing has
ever advanced such ludicrous proposition? Ger
tainly President Wilson had no such idea in his
mind when he promulgated the principle and it is
to him and to America, not to British authorities,
should look for true and accurate Interpretation

MODERN FEMININE FASHIONS.

In these halycon days Of high hobble skirts, high
heeled shoes, and decollette gowns women are be-
desperate efforts to keep up with the fashions of
the day, regardless of reactions upon the family
budget or genuinely artistic appearance The male
of the species seldom negects an opportunity to
indulge in or less sarcastic taunts at these
feminine extravagances of attire and their resultants
upon the carriage and form of the other member of
the species. It is therefore interesting to read what

incidentally, applied wholesome test to our Amer-
can patriotism. His coming is akin to that of a
great and devout missionary in the religious field
who undertakes the task of the spiritual reclamation
OF those who have reached varying stages of neglect
of religion He has wildly and powerfully revived
among Americans the pure and sincere patriotism
OF the earlier years of the Republic the lofty ideals
of Washington, Franklin Adams, Jefferson and the
rest of the Fathers.
And the American people have not been found
wanting in the test of their adherence to the eternal
principles of justice and freedom In De Valera
they have recognized and acclaimed worthy REIN
earnation OF the heroic spirits of those who fought
tor and established American liberty in the days of
the Revolution. They have Fundamentally &C
claimed HIM as a present day representative of the

And who will deny that such resuscitaton of
the old American spirit is bene6cent procedure at
the present crisis in our history? At time when
are about to consider and pass judgment upon ques
tons OF such vital Importance to the present and
future welfare OF America, is it not prudent and
wholesome to take our bearings from the old land
marks OF our history? Is it not expedient that we
should carefully trim and clean the lamp of our past
experience so as to get the full benefit of it's illu
nation upon the road Immediately before us?
Indeed it is not putting the matter too strongly to
say that the degree in which we have given express
slons OF welcome and recognition to the President
OF the Irish Republic constitutes the true measure
OF our American patriotism, for the basic principles
OF Doth are the same the natural love OF justice and
freedom and the ina1enabe rights of life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness If we are loyal to
these ideals it must follow inevitably that our SYM
pathes and cooperation will go out to those in any
land and of any race who are engaged in the strug

1t has been we'll said that De Valera has "tested
the heart of America along the lines of genuine
Americanism against the efforts of our modern
Tories who regard still ''the States and part
of the British Empire. And for that test at this

ing out of consideration the noble objective of his
mission, De Valera has rendered invaluable and

THE EMMETT EPITAPH-WILL AMERICA
WRITE IT?

In the presence of sixty thousands people at
Golden Gate Park, President DeVaera unveiled
beautiful statue of Robert Emmett on the occasion
of his visit to San Francisco. In his dedicatory
address he voiced the hope that 1T may be the
destiny of the American nation write the epitaph
that Emmett said should be written over him when
Ireland is Free The great Irish patriot and martyr
forbade the writing of his eptaph until his country
should take cher stand among the nations Of the
EARTH" It would seem that that condition is soon
to be fulfilled through the good Offices of this great
Republic wherein the love of liberty which domi-
mated the soul of Emmett has reached it's full con-
summation and development. What greater honor

noble soul who freely and undauntedly poured out

Business For United States.

business For United States
Rebuilding northern France
and Belgium will mean in the
latter part of this year u great
volume of business for tho Unit
ed States, according to prelimi
nary information which has
reached officials of the Depart
mont of Labor, provided indus
try in this country is in a posi-.
ton to accept the orders.
Immediate revival of business
activity is essential, however,
in the opinion of these officials,
if this country is to profit to the
greatest extent from the de
mand for machinery and sup
plies aboard. Factories are now
being transformed from Il war
basis to peace production, and
most of them will probably be
available for full-time peace
production in the fall of this
year,
In the meantime, however,
the building of roads and public
works can be undertaken to ad
vantage in order that they NAV
be availble for the hetterment
of industry as n whole in the
future. Many cities also have
housing problems that are be-
coming serious, owing to the
practical cessation of building
during the war.
Figures already obtained by
the division of public works
and construction development
of the Department of Labor
give some idea of the serious
ness of this problem. Building
fell off % per cent in lOl large
cities Of this country in 1917, as
compared with 1916, and for
some years before that time il
had been subnormal.
Figures for November, 1918,
show for l5l Of the principal
cities of the country an average
loss in the amount of building
nnder way Of 50 per cent, as
compared with November. 1917,
which was itself Il poor month.
Improved housing aud better
roads have been brought into
rhnk as among Americas chief
needs, as result Of tile cessation
OF building activity during the
war, and although the condi
ton IL much less serious than
N Englaud, the efficient con
iuct of industry requires RENE
ilal action In many parte of
he country demand has arisen
for better roads, particularly
surfaced roads. From the Off
