Evening Chat
Words-and What They Can Do.

Words-and What They Can Do.
One OF the prettiest thoughts for a
writer are these words which ran
across one day: Words are the
threads that we embroider on the plain
expanse of life. Some are colorful and
decorative, giving certain opulence
to the fabric they adorn; others have
their charm not so much in their col
ors as in the satisfying contrasts and
harmonies they effect in combination:
others still-and these love the best
are simple threads, fine and white
words, and the dignities of these arise
not from artifice of arrangement but
from the fitness and purity with which
they at last become one with the
linen whether sheer or coarse"
There is a great difference in vari-
Gus expressed thoughts. Yesterday
out-of-doors, the day was windy and
cold and entirely unattractive and
very many people in the city sat close
to companionable fires. Reading Of
fered the best in the way OF passing
the time. AS one is very apt to do,

you ever notice how easily some
books or some stories are read and
how difficult it is to stumble over
reading matter? Some words in COM
bination do not read,-they simply

into proper place in ones thoughts.
Such sentences one absorbs almost
unconsciously, getting the picture
which the author means to portray
quite easily. Others come hard; one

WASHINGTON, D. c. March 10
Hon. George Mead Bowers, represen-
tative in the lower house OF Congress
from the second district Of West Vir.
GINA, is to be a member of the ways
and means committee OF the Sixty
sixth Congress He is receiving the
congratulations OF his friends for cap.
turing this big honor, and has been
since he was informed of his selec-
ton by the committee on committees,
His colleague, Harry c. woodward. a
member OF that committee, presented
his name and notifications and sucq-
cessfully urged his election.
Mr.. Bowers was endorsed for this
important committeeship by the Re-
publican repre- Sntatives from West
Virginia Virginia, Maryland, Ken
lucky and Tennessee. The ways and
means committee will shortly start
hearings on a new tariff bill, which it
is planned shall be ready for intro
duction in the House when Congress
convenes. 1t means for Mr. BoVers
and his fellow members hard work
each and every day throughout the
spring and simmer, arN until the new
protective tariff bill is completed and
ready for presentation.
The last time West Virginia had a
member on the ways and means COM
mittee was whcn the Republicans
were in power and Joseph Holt Gair.
es of Charleston was member of the
House and of the committee on ways
and means. Some years prior to that,
West Virginia was represented on the
committee by William L. Wilson Of
Charles Town. author Of the tariff
law which bears his name. He repre-
scented the same district then that Mr..
Bowers does now.
Mr.. Bowers was desired on the COM
mittee because of his extensive exper-
fence and success in large business
transactions, and in banking. His tar
III views are well known to his party
yeaders as being sound. He is as
staunch protectionist as there is to
be found in the Republican organiza-
ton anywhere. His appointment is
regarded by West Virginians as not
only a high honor for him personally,
but equally as high an honor for the
people of the second district and of
the state.

THE IRISH, PRO AND CON
Comments on the Attack Made by SEN
ator John Sharp Williams.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: The
statement OF Senator Williams that the
Irish are not entitled to the credit which
they claim for the triumph Of the Ameri-
can Revolution Is we'll substantiated by
facts. The-totai number of troops on
the American side was 309,7s1. The
proportion of Irish among them cannot
have been very great. for the Rev. John
Carroll, first Roman Catholic Bishop in
the United States. gave his official fig
ures In 1890 as about $4,000 Catholics
in the whole country.
The Catholic Encyclopedia, volume 10.
page 1913, article United States" states
that the Catholics did not exceed $4,000
at that time.
The Bureau Of the Census Of the De-
partment OF Commerce and Labor of the
United States issued in 1909 book en-
titled "A Century of Population Growth"
On page 121, table 4S. the number Of
Irish in 1890 Is given as 1854, or 10

vigorous, to talk longer than hound

During the course Of few remarks
by a distinguished Senator from
NSb-a-ka he was interrupted by a
Senator from M-s-hu-tts who, from
motives of mercy, perhaps, said: II
do not know how near the conclusion
of his speech the Senator may be, but
If he desires to yield the floor, and
finish tomorrow, we can take up the
treaty and read 1t now" The inter-
rupted Senator dauntlessly replied: :
Eyes, have been speaking for over
three hours. could go on for two
or three hours more"

people, only fraction Of whom are
favored by the methods which have
Increased the cost of certain kinds OF
labor to more than double its normal
value. The imitation of prices, both Of
labor and products, was made pos
sible by war In which an Admins
tration paid any price, any wage, that
was demanded by selfish business Or
selfish labor. In the fervor of the
struggle this sin was partially for
given by the patriotic mass; but the
lasting and objectionable sin is that
the Administration has done nothing
to restore the nations business to
economic sanity.
When prices turn back, either
through fortunate reform or unfor-
tunate cataclysm, we shall see the
professions as desirable as they are
necessary. If it were to be that the
devotees of the sciences and the arts,
never earning too much, were to be
reduced to penury the advance Of
civilization would be stopped. But.
happily, this Is the United States and

a complete Ignorance of all these his
torical events Is ut Plymouth. Visi-
tors to that town would search in
vain In the guide books sold there for
any mention of Provincetown or of
the landing Of the Pilgrims ut that
spot. The rest Of the world may
speak of the "Harbor of Province
town." but to Plymouth that body Of
water is still "Cape Cod Harbor."
The stopping Of the shallop, which
brought the party of explorers along
the Cape Cod coast, at Clark's Island
and other points In the nelghborhood
Of Plymouth is mentioned, but that
it came from the present site Of Prov
incetown or that 1t also stopped at
what are now Truro, Wellfleet and
Eastman is not indicated.
The pilgrim Medallion" which has
been struck In honor of the landing
is said to have taken into considera.
ton "the sentiment attaching to two
localities, Plymouth and Province
town. The diverse Of the medal
pictures the landing and bears the
legend "The Landing of the Pilgrims
at Plymouth, 81. December, 1920" the
reverse has the legend 1.-THE May
flower, in whose cabin was signed the
compact in Cape Cod Harbor Fl Nov,
1920" There Is no mention of Prov
incetown, not even Of its harbor.
There is one agreeable feature of
the centring of the interest In the
celebration at Plymouth. That is the
promise that the old wharves on the
waterfront may be improved and a
new retaining wall built, and that the
coal sheds and other crumbling old
buildings around Plymouth Rock will
be removed. There is too a move
ment to erect new canopy over the
rock and to improve Coles Hill by the
erection Of a memorial hall. The sur
rounding of this American shrine has
become so wretched and mean from
long neglect by Plymouth and Massa-
chusetts that these improvements will
be we ,omed by the entire nation.

The Red Cross Balance.

The financial report made public to-
day by the War Council of the Ameri-
can Red Cross through its chairman,
HENRY p. DAWSON, Is of particular
interest to the 100000 members of
the Red Cross in this country because
1t shows what fine balance remained
when the War Council completed its
work on February % of this year and
turned the direction of the organiza-
tion's affairs over to the Executive
Committee.
OF the contributions Of $500. 1000. 900
in money and material the War Coun-
Gil was able to report 1927 100000
unspent. 1t is not to be assumed that
the balance Is now at that amount,
for, as Mr.. DAWSON says, "this figure
gives no indication of the greatly re-
duced amount which will probably be
available eight months later"
Much work has been carried on
since the War Council ended its du-
ties. But It is pleasant to think that,
with most of the great work done, the
cash box is so well filled.
