The American people are inclined TO look with
sympathy upon the aspirations toward freedom that
lie in the bosoms of other peoples. We 100 had our

a century.
on this point we hope that the American govern

Gov. Allen of Kansas discovers d new menace in
the closed shop. 1T has introduced into this coun-
try" he says the un-Amercan principle of putting
as little possible into life and taking as much as
possible out of life"
AS to why this should be characterized as an I'M
American principle is not clear To some persons
1t may seem only an application to human effort
and energy of the Yankee principle OF driving a
bargain--to get the most possible for the money 1t
is game employer and employee have played at,
and if labor has "overplayed" it, as Gov Allen says
II is only natural that it should make the most OF
its turn at bat. But why must the blame be charged
solely against the closed shop? If the factory opera
tive who works forty-four hours week Is putting
little into life possible to get as much as pos
sble OF 1t, the Wall street banker. who closes
his desk Thursday night for a weekend OF golf is
doing less. The principle is the same and Just as
much little un-Anerican in either case.
What is happening is that everybody who can Is
doing little work is compatible with getting re-
suits. The public generally is taking lie more
easily than its forefathers took it, whether the
change involves economic loss is a question FOR
argument. But at any rate, labor so called, Is act

He pointed out the fact that we had for months

working people. He limited that we were now stand

against any class, but against a condition. The
mine owners have right to live and TO prosper

them to be shut down means non employment for

operators and few big politicians have created in

and administer laws for their special benefit Such

JUST HOW" TO DO OVER d..
CEILING.

Several readers have asked me
to write an article on doing over

how 10 paper q room but not how
TO whiten the ceiling. ,...-
OF course the ceilings Of a room
cannot be done unless the walls
are also to be done over--for the
walls are likely TO be splashed. The
first step is to remove all the
portable pieces of furniture from
the room; take down pictures,
shades and curtains; take up the
rugs and cover the floor with thick
layers Of newspaper, and throw
sheets over any furniture that must
remain in the room. I IN ..
The next step is tn wash off The
ceiling with a large sponge wrung
fairly dry after being dipped into
cold water. If you are tail enough,
you can stand on Il kitchen table
10 do this work--this is better than
step-ladder because it gives one
a larger working area. A bowl
filled with cold water should also
stand on the table, so that you can
rinse the sponge from time to time
without getting down from your elo-
walton. The thorough sponging of
the ceiling is necessary, so as to re-
move dust Gin a kitchen, grease)

get it on the hands, until the
humps have disappeared. A brush
seven inches in width is necessary,
and it can also be used to help
dissolve the humps if the stick is
inadequate,
Now put on a sweeping cap
TO protect the hair, and a pair OF
rubber gloves or heavy leather
gloves, and mount the table. Do
not work directly over your head,
or the mixture may drop into your
eyes; work always at one side,
overhead.
If, when the work is finished,
the marks of some old stain or
blemish still show, through the
coat Of white, these maybe touched
up with more of the maresco. The
joining Of the first coat and a sec
ond coat that does not extend over
the entire ceiling will not be visible
when the ceiling dries. But one
coat is, in most cases, sufficient.
MareScO costs about 10 cents q
pound, and n fairly large room
takes three pounds--so the cost Of
doing over a ceiling is not eXpen-
siye if you do the work yourself.
There is no need to pay Sc day

this sort done by n professional

INCONTROVERTIBLE PROPOSITIONS.

IN his manifesto OF Tuesday Eamonn de Valera,
president OF the Irish republic, lays down certain
fundamental propositions Of democratic government
that cannot be denied by any enlightened thinker
along political lines.
II Irish sympathizers confined themselves to such
dignified statements OF their cOuntrys aims. instead
of occasionally indulging in unmeasured vitupera-
ton and staging profane demonstrations in the
streets OF American cities their would be more
sympatheticaIy received not only in the United
States but throughout the entire thinking world.
Says Mr.. De Valera:
by your Overwhelming choice of republican can
didates at the general elections of 1918 you made
known Your will On your suffrages the republic OF
Ireland was constitutionally founded. and with your
sanction the elected government proceeded to func-
ton organizing the forces Of the to defend it
and demanding from all citizens the obedience ie
ultimately due TO constituted authority"
The Irish leader added that the policy of the Sim
Fein remains unchanged; that it stands for the right
of the people to determine how they shall be gov
erned; for the right of every citizen to an equal
voice in this determination; for civil and religious
equality and for full proportional, representation
safeguarding minorities.
The republic of Ireland he continues, in world
politics stands "for an association OF nations and
equality Of right among constituent members, with
mutual guarantees against aggression and for the
settlement OF international disputes the basis of
right and Justice, instead of by force"

general principles enunciaed by Devalera Wheth-

, o'clock so we got an early start
When we reached the store. where
she said she was sure l could find
what | wanted, she told me:
Make the excuse that while you
will need many yards of material
you cannot say just how many, SC
want the piece reserved until you
I are positive"
1t flashed over me that Helen
probably received a commission
from this store, but | made no re-
mark. | didn't care how much
she made out Of it, If only / could
get the apartment fixed up before
September.
The salesman was very courte-
Gus, and readily agreed to Helen $
plan. l bought five yards of swiss,
and he laid away a piece of ere
tonne, and the remainder of the
swiss for me-. | left a deposit of
five dollars-some of the house
money, to insure the reserVing of
the goods.
When Tom came home that night
was still busily sewing. The dot
ted swiss lying in biilows around
the machine. He was earlier than
usual, in spite of what he had said
about expecting to be late, so had
caught me.
Making curtains?" he asked.
but | maintained perfect silence.
Il asked you a question, Sue" he
said after waiting minute.
Still | was silent,
1t may seem that I was childish,
thatI-being at fault, and knowing
it-had no right to so bitterly re-
sent Toms action. But l imagine
most proud young wives would do
the same, feel exactly as | did.
For in spite Of all to the contrary
human nature is pretty much alike
the world over. And if l was lit
tie and petty, other women would
have been little and petty too
though perhaps not in the same
way.
AN UNHAPPY EVENING.
Tom took his paper and sat
down to read. kept right on sew
ing until Norah called us to din
ner. wondered where Tom
thought I got my material, then
as he didn't ask. concluded he
supposed l still had the money
Mrs. Turner had paid me for the
things in the old apartment, and
had used that. What in the world
would he say if he knew | had
turned that over to Heloise?
Again we ate in silence. | had
said / would show Tom, and !
meant it. Tom tried to talk once
or twice, then he too relapsed into
angry silence.
After dinner he took his hat and
went out without saying a word.
Well, let him so, / thought, I had
made up my mind to punish him,
and if l had to be punished at the
same time because he was angry at
my attitude, why I'd stand it for
the sake of bringing him to terms,
| sewed all the evening. He came
in about ten o'clock, and | soon
put up my work and went to bed,
leaving him reading in the living
room. In the morning it was the
same, and so for several days. Fin
ally he stopped making an at
tempt to talk, and Norah went
around with a puzzled expression
on her face which annoyed me ter
ribly. 1t was my business if /
cnose to punish Tom. ..
Helen had run down to see how
things were going, and had warn
ed me that l was carrying it too
far.
tom is too clever too good
looking. Some woman will catch
him If you don't, look out"
"Oh, I'm not afraid" | boosted.
Gle never looks at another wo-
man"
"There is always a first time.
And Tom is attractive" she eau
toned. But I only laughed, conf
dent in my youth, an in Tom s
love.
