Up the steps Of his hollow stump

A Liberal Sign.

II Freedom shrieked when Kosciusko
fell. as the poet said. she could hardly
have been pleased when Great Britain
assumed the 'protectorate" over Egypt
at the beginning OF the late war.
Riots, rebelllons. assassinations and
reprlsals marked the period of British
domination. At the Paris conference
there were native Egyptians continually
beseging the doors OF the mighty in
order to write into the peace treaty the
freedom OF Egypt after the tenets OF
wisconsin. They did not succeed. nat
urally. but they spread as diligently
as possible the tradition of Albion the
oppressor.
With some show of reason the Brit
ish went into the Egyptian occupation
The Germans and the Turks openly
threatened them with religious war
In which the Egyptians were to rise
up and take the Suez canal from Its
owners. cutting off the Indian de-
tendencies from all communication with
the seat Of empire.
Now comes the announcement that
Great Britain is going out of Egypt
as soon as the terms of an arrange
ment can be written down under which
the British interests are protected. This
Is the answer that Lloyd George and his
government make to the ceaseless agi-
tation that pours out OF the Nile. It
is an answer that old friends and ad-
mirers OF Britain will welcome with
good deal of qualification because it
proves their faith was not misplaced,
and that the English are essentially
a liberal people.
Egypt is of the same strategic inter-
est TO Britain as Cuba or any other
political unit of America is TO US. She
has TO see that the communications of
the empire are not broken. There her
interest in Egypt ceases and there she
has announced her official interference
viii end, Her Egyptian policy is about
like our Cuban policy.
The Irish policy has done England
unspeakahle damage in the eyes OF
the world. whether rightly or wrongly.
OF late years Ireland and Egypt have
been coupled together in the mouths OF
her critics, as equal instances OF Eng
lish oppression. The name of Egypt
can no longer be pronounced with this
intention, and it is to be hoped that
before many more years have passed
the hldeous Irish issue will have been
settled to the substantial qualification
OF all parties concerned.
AT any rate Englands good faith is
made manifest, and that is something,
though it will take lot of it to remove
a mountain OF hatred such as Irelands,

to him. 1t may be hard to keep down
jealousy, but it would be most unwise
TO show 1t. You have no exclusive claim
on his time unless you and he are en-
gagged.
Dear Mrs. Thompson--I am a younq
lady 10 years old and have girl chum
Of 20. We are very devoted to each
other and are always together. We
nave many nice friends, but we have
so many troublesome nelehbors around
US that when our friends call for US
ana the ne'shbors hear the car stop,
they run to their windows or doors to
lind out what can be seen. They are
very meddlesome and cause US many
unhappy moments. We are nice, re-
spectacle girls, and believe that we are
old enough to have company two or
three, times week. Please tell US II
we should continue to put up with 1t,
or tell them to mind their own business.

You are looking for trouble. Your
neighbors are curious and gossipy like
other human beings. They can do you
no harm, however, il your conduct Is
above reproach. Be careful to go with
a good class of young men and to do
nothing you would not be willing to
have your mother see you do. Say
nothing to your neighbors. Let them
look If it gives them so much pleasure.
Dear Mrs. Thompson-Are cantaIoupe
seed bags being used this year7 Would
one be suitable made with beads and
lined with satin to carry up street as
purse? Also, how large should IL
be? .I. THANK YOU.
Bags are no longer being made of
cantaloupe seeds Beads are very pop
ular in bags of all sizes. Usually the
bags are made flat like a leather wrist
bag. They are lined with satin. Such
bags are difficult to make because they
are made of small beads which are
worked onto cloth foundation. I be-
lieve you would find velvet bag easier
to make and in just as good style.

STREET CAR TICKETS,
p%AH~@N%@~@@@@~@@@@@


To The News Scimitar:
When the 10 tickets for 50 cents
and seven cent cash fare rate became
effective, every conc uCtor in our service
Was given supply of the metal tickets
to be used in addition TO those that
reached him through the fare box. This
IL being continued daily. In addition,
the company advertised that these
tickets would be on sale at Moseley-
Robinson Drug store, at Main and Mad
ison, where there is an ample supply
for the public. and we further have a
dispatcher on continuous duty at Main
and Madison, through whom the con-
ductors are supplied as necessary, when
they pass that point.
We are making every effort to Keep
the conductors fully supplied with these
tickets and as soon as the circulation
assumes normal proportions they should
not be without fun supply AZ all
times. There are. however, times at
present when the demands on the con-
ductor for these tickets in lots OF 10
exceed his supply In this event, he
gets more tickets when passing Main
and Madison
In view OF these facts, the article
appearing in your paper Thursday aft
