How Fugitive Ministers Carry on in
ireland-A Secretary of Agri-
culture His Own Office Boy
Constructive Aspect of
Sim Fein

Dublin. Ireland, Dec Tragedy
follows upon tragedy in Ireland, but
in the main the body of the people
show a fixed determination not to be
goaded into violent rebellion by their
own or enemy "activists" but TO con-
tinue with. set teeth to carry out the
constructive plans of their constitu-
tionally elected representatives.. From
the varieties of violence turn TO the
records of reconstruction.
The task of writing OF the con-
structive workers is rendered difficult,
not because of lack of material but
because these men are forced to work
in secret, to fly from office to Of
flee, to hide their documents, to
trust no mails, to sleep in a differ
ent bed every night
Sir Hamar Greenwood, among many
mis-statements, has frequently affirm
ed that his government does not at
tack or molest Sim Fein as q con-
structive force, but only in respect
of its campaign Of murder" The
impression made by this policy here
is that every man who has ever had
dealings with the Republican army
is regarded by Sir Hamar Greenwood
as ipso facto q murderer, and all
money passing through such hands
as blood money. 1t would, in Irish
in the defense of small nations. In
of all government departments, in
England, America or any Christian
country.
For one example of constructive
worker, reference to whom at present
can do no harm. let us take the case
OF Robert Barton, Barton is a Protest
ant, large landowner, Of old Irish
family, but certainly brought up in
the traditions of the "ascendency.
Like most Of his class he joined the
British army and saw service with il
in the defense Of small nations. In
1916 he was in Dublin, soon after the
rising and was put in charge of prls-
oners affairs. What he saw then
of English methods in Ireland sick
ened him as an honest man and a
patriot He obtained release from
service and soon became an active
member of the Republican party. Al
the general election he was elected
TO represent that party for the con-
stituency in which his property lies
and on the establishment of a gov
ernment by Dali Eireann he became
the first minister Of agriculture. I'm
like men who hold these positions in
some governments he had first had
practical qualifications for his task.
For years he had studied farming as
a business proposition at first hand,
and on his remote mountain holdings
had managed to create an estate which
was practically self-supporting in every
way. He had his own up-to-date
machinery and his own mechanics
to care for and repair il. He had also

machinery Of land settlement with
the now famous arbitration courts,
which have been studied and testified
to by host of correspondents, hostile
as well as friendly. To this machin-
cry the British government owes the
fact that what promised last spring
to be an agitation sweeping the West
of ireland like a flame with loss of
life and destruction Of property was
tanned and controlled with legal
and orderly redistribution. Hundreds
of landlords Of his own elias owe,
and freely acknowledge u heavy debt
to Robert Barton and his construct
i've work.
Robert Barton became an implicitly
trusted member of the Republic while
Protestant a landowner, Il man
educated at an English public school
and at oxford, and an eX-officer of the
British army. His successors name
cannot here be mentioned. He is a
Catholic OF the strong farmer" class,
with an equal knowledge Of the land
and the people, but perhaps something
less of the genius of leadership. Like
practically all these men he has taken
up the task half unwillingly, from
duty and not from ambition, and he
will carry ii on until he shares Bar
tons fate or until he gives back the
reins into Barton's own hands. This
work is done for no payment either
in coin or In applause; it is done
from q feeling deeper even than pa
triotism-the sheer inevitableness of
a duty.
Another remarkable figure in prac-
teal Sim Fein administration is the
Countess Markievoiz. She might be u
heroine of a modern film romance,
She has been accused of every imag-
Unable crime and vice and is credited

stories OF their fortunes and mis-

opportunity to hear both sides OF
the story.
Briefly stated, my observation is
this: In order that marriage be a
success both parties to 1t must have
one of two things, true love or edu-
cation. The use OF the latter term
is likely TO bring protest and / pro-
test II too, to some extent, as IL

ity to view personal matters from

ready said in your column as to the
effectiveness OF true love in max
Ing marriage success. When
true love exists faults OF one so
far as the other is concerned be-
come commemorate attributes. The
person no longer thinks in the first
person but the third, and marriage
Is thus made success.
Now let us consider the substi-
tuition OF education in place of love
in one or both parties to matri-
mony. Remember that my theoreti-
cal man or woman has all of the
qualities I mentioned above. He

love, thinking IL was the direct
ray, or as so many, many marriages
are, for mercenary motives. or for
other reasons. At any rate, after
he Is married he realizes that true
love does not exist in his case.
What is he to do? First he Is able
to assume an impersonal viewpoint
Of his predicament. His sense OF
justice prevents him from desert
ing. His sportsmanship charac-
teristic allows him to laugh in
stead Of NOPE. His control over
his pride, his sense OF Justice and
his insight prevent quarrels. BY
combining all of the above he is
able to honor and cherish" his
wife and keep himself only unto
her above all others and TO assume
the appearance of love" Last but
not least, his philosophy will keep
him from the hands Of the psy-
chiatrist by always asking the
simple question. What does IL all

rec son why the most economically
inclined housekeeper cannot use
them freely when planning hel
tally menus, and whit Is more ap-
petizing and incidentally more cas-
ily prepared than q hot oyster dish
TOR the home luncheon or supper?
In cooking it must be remem-
Oared that oysters contain an
aIbuminous substance. which har-
dens at high temperature, just as
the albumen OF an egg does. There
fore, low temperature for s"ort
time should be the rule in cooking
oysters. 100 to $50 degrees +. being

Oysters sent home in bulk should
be carefully looked over for any
particles OF shell, and IL must be
remembered that in making oyster
soup or stewed oysters the milk
should not be heated with the
oysters, but only combined with
the oysters and liquor Just previous
to serving: also that the hot oyster
liauor must be SKINNED carefully.
