FAMOUS MEN OF GREEN ISLE
Country Has Few More Picturesque
Figures Than the Three Widely
Known Myles arothere.

Lieut.. Col. Sir Thomas Myles, NJ. d.
better known as Sir Tom Myles-
who has been In America on q British
medical mission. Is one of the most
picturesque figures In Irish life. As
medical students in Trinity college,
Dublin, the three Myles brothers were
famous for their encounters with mem
bers OF the heavyweight" division Of
the Metropolitan police. 1t used to be
said OF the Myles brothers. that, II
they found 1t necessary to beat up tho
Dublin finest" at night. they were
equally assiduous In patching them up
In the morning. So there was no hard
feeling on either side.
Sir Thomas was knighted in 1902
when he was president of the College
OF Surgeons In Ireland. 1t was as
house surgeon In Stevens hospital
that he made the first examination Of
the bodies OF Burke and Cayendish.
the victims Of the famous Phoenix
park murders. The strange thing was
that. at the moment. neither Sir
Thomas nor the police knew that one
of the bodies was that OF the chief sec
retary, and the other that OF the under
secretary for Ireland

In the Zulu war one of the chiefs was
run TO earth in his kraai by the British,

Chairman Hays's plan of limiting

Thoughts About Broadway

The responses to the invitation of
the Broadway Association to "Give
Thought to Broadway" run from the
gay to the severe; from small practicali-
ties to impossible localities.
Nearly everything is expressed except
eulogy. 1t seems the universal opinion
that the famous street is not what it
should be. Thought converges on the
conclusion that it too much resembles
battlefield of France, and when not this
is too much an arena for the exhibit of
bowling vulga-ity. The replies are from
New Workers, and are of such tone.

Jim Ham Recants
tFrom The Scranton Repubrtcqn,


The country was surprised during the
past week by statement made bv Senator
j. Ham Lewis, of Illinois, who was the
Democratic whip in the Senate which ad
journed on the 4th of March last Com
pletng tour of the West, Mr. Lewis ex-
pressed surprise that he found the Ad-
mlnistration so unpopular in that section
of the country.
While member Of the Senate, previous
to his defeat by Senator Mccormick, there
was no more ardent champion nor more
ready apologist for the Administration
than Mr.. Lewis. When other Senators
were dismayed by demands made by the
Administration and faltered in their al
legiance the Senator from Illinois did not
On that account his recent utterance will
send chill to the spine Of every friend
of the President. It. is the utterance of
an ardent friend, not Of critic He
would not have made the confession had
not the proof been overwhelming Even
the chairman of the Democratic National
Committee, Mr.. Cummings, of Massa-
chusetts, will find his enthusiasm dampened
by Senator ]. Ham Lewis's revelations.
There was resentment in the West, Mr..
Lewis found, against everything going on
with the Administration at Washington"
but particularly because of Mr.. Wilson'S
complacent Mexican policy, his Russian
policy, and because of his supposed lean
ing toward European alliance.
Dir. Lewis's utterances are regarded as
sincere, a result of facts driven home
by evidence too clear to be denied. They
are calculated to. cause many uneasy mo-
ments for Administration champions.

English-speaking countries in their at
tacks on the problem Of transoceanic
flight.
The American has been rated a quick
and hasty fellow, ready to take chances,
damning torpedoes and impediments,
trusting to luck and adaptability to see
him through. Kipling told Jonathan
that he was an unkempt creature who
sprawled across his continent, willing to
match with destiny for beers, and we ac-
cepted his judgment. We were sloppy
and irregular-the sky lines of our cities
proclaimed that we had little instinct for
order On the other hand, our British
cousins seemed to make a god of form
and personal repression and to love the
locksteps that iron out personal idiosyn-
crasies of gait.
And. behold! it is Jonathan who is the
careful, scientific organizer, and Bull
who is the daredevil. Our Navy Depart

Our triumph, SO far as it has been

peace conference in advance was that
more bitterness would thereby be engen-
dered The world would have a more
hopeful future to-day if the free confer
ence had been entirely free, and the
treaty prepared, it may be deemed GER
tain, would have been marked by as much
breadth and magnani1nity as the one
now pending.
The best guess still is that Germany
will sign-will sign because she realizes
the next time her surrender will be un-
conditional, with no insincere clatter
about promises to her. But, whether she
signs now or later, it is sadly evident
that a more embittered Germany will
exist to menace the world than it was
necessary to have exist. 1dealism is
worth little unless rooted in realism.
Peace without victory talk prolonged the
war and has delayed, and will long
delay, the realization of real peace.

The Capitalist in OreralIs
An Ohio manufacturer donned overalls
the day after the armistice was signed and
lived the life of a common laborer for the
next five months. He went to Pittsburgh,
put up at a workingmans boarding house,
stood in the line waiting for employment
at steel mill until he got it and then did
the work of a common laborer day after
day. His purpose was to view the labor
problem from the bottom looking up. His
general conclusion was that a good, steady
job, good pay and decent human treatment
are the main desiderata with laboring men,
Very few of them entertain gkandiose ideas
of reforming industry by fundamental legis-
laton. He didn't encounter a single Boil

troubles.
Matt c. Brush, the president and general
manager Of the American international
Shlpbullding Corporation, which conducts
the Hog Island shipbuilding yard has
among other ideas one that corporations are
not human enough in hiring and firing. On
his first day at Hog Island he applied. in
cognlto. for a job. He got the Job, but he
didn't enjoy the process. Other men who
now apply get respectful and considerate
treatment. He considers that manv a mans
whole subsequent attitude toward his en-

treated when applying for work

That rule seemed eccentric in the days
of enormous Republican and Democratic
campaign funds, provided by a very linn

age Republican or Democrat felt him
self excused from giving his mite in such
circumstances.
But times have changed. Under the
pressure Of public opinion Congress and
the state legislatures have imposed
limitations on the funds to be raised for
election purposes and have created elab-
crate systems of official accounting. We
speak of these regulatory provisions as
corrupt practices' legislation. There
was little real corruption in the old cam
paign methods. Most of the money was
spent foolishly rather than corruptly.
