THE war between South Ireland and Great Brit

be forced to join with the South until it is ready to
do so; but this union will come. Sim Fein will ac-
cept the present British offer with enough of minor
notifications to save De Valeras reputation as a
negotiator. This is what we believe as based upon
Irish human nature, which is not much different
from that OF others. If are right in this then
of course, prophet. II mistaken-wcll, we
have been that before.
Just now De Valera is jockeying for position
He is cleverly trying to put the British in a posi-
ton where they will have to yield to his contention
take the responsibility for renewing hostilties
He is, however, dealing with cleverer driver
than he is, and Lloyd George is now backed BY
united British opinion and quite consolidated in

SCIENTISTS SAVE
FUTURE FLAX CROP,

Efforts to combat the wilt which
threatened the important flax in
dustry Of North Dakota, and which
resulted. in the development OF a
wilt-resistant flax. attracted great
interest among fifty cereal disease
specialists who have been visiting
the state experiment Station. and
Red River Valley grain fields at
Fargo, n. D. The party consisting
Of plant disease experts from the
United States, England and Japan,
planned the trip of inspection to
follow the sessions of the summer
meeting of the American phytopa-
theological and cereal disease confer
ence held in St Paul recently. Faced
with the problem of combating the
wilt which was causing serious
losses to the flax industry in North
Dakota, where half of the nations
flax crop is grown, scientists at
the state experiment station began
to make selections of single plants
which were less affected by the
fungus disease than others. Seed
selected from these plants produced
plots OF flax from which further
careful selections were made. BY
taking advantage OF the tendency OF
plants to inherit this disease re-
sistance. a flax was finally produced
which was little effected by the
dreaded wilt. This work, accom-
plished under the direction of H. L.
Bolley, has benefited the production
Of linseed oil made from flax seed
Proof has been obtained that
when the best strains of resistant
flax are crossed with ordinary non
resistant flax the resistant quality
is transmitted to the plants that re-
suit from seeds of the cross.

among the white and negro races
IN this country, / find a conglomer-
alton of views which one might not
think existed were he not brought
face to face with the expression ot
them in cold print. Sentiments un-
worthy of the publicity they are
given.
Since coming to Washington
have seen many wonderful things
and many disgusting things. l have
even seen the Vice President pre-
siding over the deliberations of the
Senate. That alone is worth any
mans time and money and a trip
to the Capitol.
1 say this in no sarcastic manner.
1t is great. But 1 do not think the
Vice Presidents chair is comfort
albeit seems to produce on the
sitter tendency to slide the middle
of the body forward. thereby pro-
ducing the impression from the gall

and much in need of a bed. Appear

galleries, however, very often in
clude men and women, too. who are
critical and who themselves have
presided over the deliberations OF
conventions. societies, etc, and they
have a fellow feeling for the Vice
President when he is aroused from
his recumbent position to rule on d
parliamentary question and acts
much as a fish acts when out of
water. Then comes the venerable
Senator from New England who
states exactly how the thing should
be done, and that settles it, The
Senator thereupon leaves the cham

1t goes without saying that Italy

decidedly a laggard in music. Eng

Great Britain was the last of the
larger nations to abolish penal laws

Daniel O'Connell and others for ap-

Mandate of Human Nature.

THE Federation OF Labor has proclaimed that
It will not consent to any reduction OF wages.
This is but another mandate from our common
human nature of which organized labor has its full
portion 1t is not something TO arouse anger or
vehement protest. There are few merchants who
have sold goods at less than they could get, and
equally few who have given service, or materials
or goods at less than they could get.
In this, no one responds to any other force than
that of economic pressure. Reduced prices for
thing as far they have come, have come from the
outside, not from free will. They all have to be
shown" and that by conditions beyond their con-
troll It is and will be the same with labor These
men will consent to reduced wages only when it is
made clear to their common sense that they are
not being sacrificed to someone elses profit, that
the reduction asked is fair and that it is also to
their own best interest their good to accept it.
Laborers have to buy what they someone else
makes. The cost of labor is considerable element
in the price. They claim to be the largest single
body of consumers They are very much interested
in this matter of price. What they reasonably
want to know is whether not they getting a
reasonable and fair part of the profit made those
things of which their labor is considerable an
element of cost. This price, also, is that to the
broker or wholesaler. Beyond that the manufac-
turer has control.
But workingmen also know that the labor
cost which goes into price does not depend merely
upon wage scale nor on the eight-hour day. 1t de-
pends on what is included in that much used and
sometimes tiring word efficiency" If Henry Ford
could not turn out the number of fivvers day he
does with the number of men employed, he would
have to sell them for more, and then might not be
able to sell them at all Certainly he would not sell
as many.
When bricklayer lays but 800 Goo bricks
instead Of say, 1900, the house costs more fewer

all up and down the line in all the crafts. An en-

Yesterdays issue of The Herald
prints a pathetic story from New
York.
It will bear repeating here:
Don't tell marm:" Although his
skull had been crushed by the fall
of a heavy gate and his little body
was bruised and abraded. the first
thought of Harold Flynn, 3Ia years
old. was of his mother. whom he
knew to be i'll. "s . . Harold and
group of boys, among whom were
his two brothers, were playing at
great iron gate in Dewitt Clin-
ton Park, when the gate fell on
him. The other boys tugged vainly
TO lift the gate and then screamed
for help. Policemen and men from
lift the Gate. All the way to the
Roosevelt Hospital the little fellow
kept pleading with his rescuers
Don't tell marm, il would worry
her." 1t concluded: He lapsed
into inconsistencies and died while
physicians were working to restore
him. The mother had not been told
Of the fatality"

fess this story Of the little tot 3h
years old. whose only thoughts were
OF his sick mother, brought tears

Me, for Of such is the Kingdom

waiting to receive his gentle spirit
while myriads of angels were

1t seems to me il would be an
inspiration to others to erect a me-
mortal to this child. reciting the

child to think less of self and more
