The Paramount Duty.

"One duty should take precedence OF all others
in the minds of the administration soon to come
into power" comments the Muskogee Daily Phoe-
nix, published in that stranger among Republican
States. Oklahoma.
1t is interesting to note what that State expects
of the new administration. The editorial continues:
Indeed, we see no reason why measures for CO.
operative marketing of farm products should not be
passed on at the coming session without waiting.
For there ought to be party division or dissen-
sion in this important matter.
"The profound dissatisfaction of the farmers Of

CONCERNING A STORY ON THE

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
1t is inconceivable to me that
anyone in the newspaper business.
even IL he were q young, inexpe-
'rienced newspaper reporter, could
SO far forget himself as to joke
about anything SO serious as the
parade Of Irish sympathizers, IL he
knows anything at all about the
present reign OF terror which ex-
lists in that unfortunate country.
Is the reporter who gave this q
British sympathiser. or 10 he out Of
touch with. present-day happenings?
Would he have joked when the Bel
CLANS were being treated in the
same way by the Germans? These
Jokes are untimsly. These paraders
were never more serious.

The world is smitten with the
likes of riots. robberies and

The headlines IN the morning

they tell of how the world is
far from well.
A strike is on In Londonville-
a riot down in Liverpill-a
dozen murders in New York and
forty hunger strikes in Cork.
Old England's in an awful mess
and Germany but little less. In
Russia there are happenings, and

Fox Has Clever Way,
fOutwitting Fleas

An Interesting mature note" by
Mr.. Sidney, OF Wakefield: AN old
Maine trapper told me a few days
ago that foxes rid themselves Of
fleas by taking a piece of brush in
their mouths and backing slowly
into brook. AS the fox backs into
water the fleas climb up on his back
into dry territory. Finally. when
all but the tip of the fox's nose is
submerged, the fleas have all
crawled onto the bit of brush the
fox holds in his mouth. The fox
then drops the brush, loaded with
fleas. whiQh floats down stream,
while he ruhs out of the water, rolls
in the grass and bounds away into
the woods"
The nomad has never seen a fox
do this. but after the things that he
has really seen foxes do he Is not
prepared to cast any discredit on
the story.-From 1he Boston Tran
script.

Any sane man who will speak the

1t is not a political question at all,
nor has it been for three centuries.
It's an Orange and Green" or q
purely religious question. Up to
the disestablishment OF the Prot.
estant Church in Ireland, the Prot.
estant priest ruled with an iror

sought by the Sim Feinn is to es-
tablish the Roman Catholic Church

of Ireland had done. This is the
bone of contention.
That Great Britain has every

his conviction was that he believed in the anti

that would not be considered orthodox subjected
the conscientious person to unlimited physical tor
