WHAT SENATORS THINK
Remarks Made Relative to Prcei
dents Removal of Lansing.


Many Senators said they were not
surprised that the Secretary OF State
resigned. They had been expecting
for months that he would take the
step, they said, and had often won
dered that he stayed SO long. In
this connection Senators said that
persons returning from Paris, who
were more or less closely in touch
with the American Peace Delegation
brought amazing stories OF the treat
ment of Mr.. Lansing by the Presi
dent there.
Senators Lodge and Hitchcock, the
respective party leaders, declined TO
say anything. Following is the com
ment Of others who were questioned,
Senator Wa sh, Montana: 81 would
rather think, and say nothing"

There's not enough phosphorus IN modern,

To overcome this lack of an element OF your

Speaking Of people who are easily fatlg1ed'
who lack ambition, nerve and are otttluies
thin, weak and sadly lacking in frm, healthy
flesh. Joseph D. Harrigan, formerly Visiting
Specialist North Eastern Dispensary, n. "

patients who were apparently physical
wrecks who foolishly thought they needed
only a blood tonic to enrich the blood, have
come for treatment trembling and shaking
their nerve force almost exhausted and II
many such cases the administering of Bltro-
Phosphate has produced seemingly magical re-
suits"
People who feel the heat of Summer, tire
easily and often become irritable and de
pressed, will find Bitro-Phosphate an inexpen-

Druggists report wonderful increase IN the
demand from men and women who are anxious
to renew old-time ambition and who are max.
ing an honest effort TO become vigorous and
keen minded with a power of endurance that
denotes almost perfect health.
They ask for Bitro-Phosphate because they
know they need an inexpensive organic phos
phate.

Officially Dry.

PEkIN, China. - The dragon
Rum" was officially executed here re-
Gently after ceremony organized by
United States marines Of the Ameri-
can legation guard. AS there was no
demon rum available the marines
borrowed one of the dragons used by
the Chinese in their parades.
With the band playing a iunera!
dirge, the dragon was marched three
times around the parade ground, 10
marines providing the motive power
from inside the beast. The dragon
was then decapitated in Chinese fash
ion.
All American reservations in China
are officially dry" The rest of the
country is not, but the marines held
the celebration to mark the passing
of the rum demon" in their home
land.

Who won the game Friday night?

up here Friday night the telephone

but, while everyone held his breath.
Mr.. Breckner bravely removed the
receiver. Then came the announc-
ment. and of all the yelling-it

rious boys? We do.
About this said party. It was a
real success. In the first place it was
the very first high school party ever
held in the gymnasium. The pro.
gram was most entertaining, the
stunts keen. and the eats o. X. What
more could be said?
We have some changes in the fac
ulty. Miss Clarke is welcomed back
to teach the Sophs not to say has

taken the difficult reins of English
instruction from Mr.. Browns hands,
and now she most nobly drives the
Seniors and Juniors bright young
minds on to thought sof higher
things. Mr.. Breckne-, in becoming
superintendent, handed over the po

its 400 or so awaking souls.

EARLY COINS OUTSTANDING
$4,000 Worth of Copper Cent Pieces
Made in Young Days of U. S.

WASHINGTON - Many American
coins rarely if ever seen in circulatio
are still officially Outstanding in sub
stantial quantities. Among these are
$4,000 worth of copper-cent pieces
made in the early days of the coun-
try, more than 100000 worth of
2-cent pieces. and s655,000 worth of
3-cent pieces. They are still of full
face value--and sometimes more to
coin collectors.
Many trade dollars-of the variety
issued some 40 years ago in a futile
effort to compete in the Orient with
the far.famed Mexican silver dollar
have never come back. They were
not of legal tender for more than IS.
though when abandoned q reasonable
time was given for exchanging them
for standard silver dollars. Those
still extant are of only bullion value.
except perhaps to collectors.
Likewise a substantial amount Of
paper money is still ofiicially rated
as Outstanding" but is never ex-
pected to return for redemption. It
is estimated that per cent of oil
paper money is lost or destroyed and
when such happens the government
profits. This IL the case even with
national bank notes.

Tie Irish Question is
the Most Aggravated
PROBLEM SOLUTION BY TATEsMEN THE BRITISH EN-
RELIGIOUS RATHER THAN POLITICAL ISSUE.

In the nature of the union between
England, Scotland and Ireland, all
three countries are not the same, but
they come from the same source. Ire
land has rather more than her proper
proportion of representation, but is
Of course heavily outvoted by the
larger countries. For almost a GEN.
fury large proportion of the people
Of Ireland have been demanding a
parliament of their own, subject to
the British crown, but independent
of the British government
The reason why this solution has
not been adopted is the people OF
northeast Ulster. They are opposed
to the rest of the population of Ire
land industrially, racially, and in re
ligion. Where the rest of Ireland is
agricultural, they are a manufactur-
ing people. Where the others are
Celtic in race and Catholic in reli-
gion. they are Saxon and Protestant.
An American finds 1t hard to imagine
the political hatred which a differ
ence of race and religion can breed.
In America, individuals of all races
mingle on friendly and equal terms !;
in Ireland, two solid blocks of alien
people live side by side in hatred and
intolerance. Even the negro problem
Of the South does not approach it.
The Catholic population of Ireland
numbers over three millions, the
Protestant less than one. The dis
parity of numbers seems merely to
aggravate the situation. In fact,
everything seems to aggravate the
situation in Ireland.
For a long time the activities of
the Nationalist element in Ireland
were turned into legitimate political
channels. They allied themselves
with the Liberals of England and
Scotland and attempted to pass bill
giving Home Rule" to Ireland
Under Gladstone the House of Lords
defeated them. During the Asquith
government. Just before the war, q
home rule bill was passed. North
east Ulster threatened to resist by
force of arms. The government. fear
full of internal conflict. suspended and
ultimately practically repealed the
law. As result, the Protestants
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1920-03-09

were more than loyal to England dur
ing the war; the Catholic population
was, with some brilliant exceptions
Indifferent or even hostile.
The apparent failure of the Ma
tionalists to secure their end b;
peaceful means threw things into the
hands of the extremists. They organ
lied a secret political society under
the name of Sim Fein (meaninp
yourselves Alone" in the old Celtic
tongue) with the avowed aim of max
ing Ireland Independent by force
Sim Fein is the lineal descendant Of
If not identical with, the Fenian So
cieties which made SO much trouble
in Canada and the United States Sc
or so years ago.
Sim Fein candidates swept the
last Irish parliamentary election. The
strange thing about their candidacy
was that they were pledged not to
take Office if elected. Instead, they
organized the Irish republic" a,
Dublin. No one knows just what &C
tivities this government" carries on
but IS per cent of the people of Ire
land are virtually on strike against
the regular government. They APP
parently have courts of their own to
try disputes among themselves. Of
lenses against the police and others
seem usually to go unpublished. Mar
tial law is the only attempt to enforce
law and order, and against whole
people martial law must fail. At the
recent municipal elections Sim Fem
candidates gained control of the mu-
nicipal governments in most Irish
cities. What they will do with them
is yet to be seen.
The present British government,
proposes to try compromise, givina
separate legislatures to the provinces
! of Ulster and to the rest of Ireland
with a central council of Ireland t.
which powers over the whole country
may be delegated by the consent OF
both legislatures. The general ex
pectation seems to be that it would
be long time before any were dele.
gated. The ideal solution would
seem to be, in the words of John
Bright, to "loose Ireland from hel
moorings and carry her three thou.
sand miles to the westward"

capacity basis. The output of 1913
mills reporting to the West Coast

unfavorable element in the lumber
situation is the continued shortage
of cars.
