The German hope of success in the

votes of some Poles, largely on the

on German control of the Industries.

which put poison against the English into Irish
brains. and acknowledging with shame the folly
and evil of many things which are now happen
ing under our martial law-not justified DESPITE
the murders and guerrilla warfare which 1
equally condemn-I can hope in the fu-
ture of avoiding greater tragedy more fearful
things, unless the Irish will show little gen.
erosity on their side. wipe out many black mem
cries. abandon their attacks upon military and
police and in return for complete and abso-
lutte truce. come to terms which will give them
full rights over their own nationality while
still remaining in the confederation of British
peoples under the king-emperor. If they would
agree to that they would get not only the friend
ship of the English people, among whom in
spite OF all this tragedy they have masses of
friends. but they would rise to a height greater
than that Of nationality. which is the brother
hood OF man in the name of Christ.
But, knowing the Irish people and their
present passion and purpose think they will
not agree to any of that, that the future is

The White Sales of 1921
talk price has neuv been talked before!

For several years every
White Sale has had some para
graph about prices going up.
Many of them showed a picture
of King Cotton sitting on his
throne - majestically surveying
those who met his gaze.
This year King Cotton is not on his
throne. Cotton is down. The things that
are made of cotton are down. And they
are down lower than they have been for
many. many years.
The principle of holding White Sales in
January has been based on the human at
tribute that a woman will buy thing before
she needs it if the inducement is there.
The White Sales Of 1921 not only pro-
vide the usual reward for anticipation. but
they attain particular significance this year
because of the market price of cotton.
When we tell you that standard 8lxoO
Pequot sheets are l.50. and that linen-6nish
sheets are $l.O0 each. and that full-s1e pill
lowcases may be had at 25c each you will
get the significance of the event quickly.
You know what you have paid for them only
a short time ago. You know there is some
thing to White Sale that can talk this way.
The White Sales of 1921 embrace the
departments of muslin underwear, fancy
white goods by the yard. staple linen sheets,

SHOULD BE REASONABLE.

Since the restrictive immigration law usnt into eEect, and regulations that ve-s established under the provisions of that law became operative, there have been more people from certain countries seeking admission to the United States than the monthly allowance would per- nit That situation has been taken in- 10 consideration by the authorities to the extent that the excess for a given month was admitted and used to re- duce the quota for the succeeding month. That course was followed be- causs of the belief that the sudden put ting into effect of the law and the re- turn of the aliens who would be enti- tied to enter within a few days would be an injustice.
 But with the number exceeding the quots each month there has come the notice to the effect that those in ex- cess will have to be returned and it is the opinion of the federal court that it Is within the power of the immigration bureau to enforce such regulations as it has established.
 Laws and rules do not amount to much If they are not enforced, and it is apparently the uurnnse of the inaraigra- N - A f-~ t5%

REVISING THE TAXES.

Since they have undertaken the job pf acting upon the revised tax meas Nre as presented by the lower house the 1enste committee has mad new reasons To appreciate the problems that are ln- yoived in perfecting a measure that will meet conditions Not only has it had a chance to thoroughly study the house bill but 1t has had a number of other pans presented for it's considera- ton besides such ideas as may have been conceived by the members them selves.
 IT 1t were simply a problem of re- placing certain taxes by others the task would not be so difficult, but in making any such changes there must be taken into consideration tho effect of the pro- posed taxes and determine whether they are likely to be any more popuar than existing ones, If in fact any taxes can be regarded as popular. That there must be taxes will be agreed nd the problem therefore is to levy those that will properly distribute the burden with, out resorting to nuisance taxes or those which are confronted every time . per son turns around. Thus it can be ap- preciated that the revision Is baund to mean something more than substitution Thers must be careful thought given to what is to be reduced and where others are going to be levied to make UT for such a reduction. That is why less is being heard about an increase in the postal rate for first class mail, the imposition of a tax upon checks and ar additional tax on automobiles. There can be no question but what they would produce revenue but there are ways 1T which 1t can be obtained without arous mg SO much opposition.
 And when it comes to the bill tha will be recommended in the senate thert must be careful attention given to th'
 nportant part which reduced expenses must play in connection with the -evis lon. There have been some highly com u1endable curtailments. It has been in listed by the administration that ex Sravagance and needless expenditure must stop and certainly the reduction of the amount to be raised by taxation quite the same as the revision of tn tax plan. is bound to count with th taxpayers.

READ YOUR CHARACTER
Sharp Mouths.
By Digby Phillips, Copyrighted 1921


 A sharp mouth is one which projects a bit, so that when viewed in profile it becomes an outstanding feature It Is due to the projection of the teeth and the conformation of the upper and lower jaws. and must not be confused with lips which stand out because of their thickness. In fact, such mouths are rarely accompanied by thick lips, and when they are the significance of them is largely modified
 The sharp mouth Is sharp in the figu- rative, as well as the literal sense. It denotes what might be termed a sharp disposition In other words, 8 tendency to irritableness. though not necessarily a lack of sympathy and affection.
 The frritableness, which, under cer- tain circumstances, has a tendency to develop into downright cynicism, is the result of high-strung nerves, and a tenn perament inclined both to quick thought and quick action.
 You must not expect much delfbera- ton and calm judgment from persons with this type of mouth. Then nasty thoughts and. actions are constantly leading thems into hot water, but by that marvellous law of compensation, the very quickness of their mental process es enables them to scramble out of their difficulties often before any harm has been done. They will, for instance often say untactful khinzs. hnt- -rAaIiz1

CUTTING THE IDLE ARMY.

In view of the large number of unern- ployed throughout the country, signs which indicate that it Is being reduced and that business in various lines shows evidences of an increase are bound to be welcomed and regarded as indicae- ing the way the tide is now running.
 Even though the gain in industrial activity is regarded as slow there is sat isfaction over the fact that it is nov ing in the right direction and a slow and sure recovery is likely to he more lasting than one that is rapid and un- certain.
 In the New England area where the textile industry is large the claim is made in a despatch to the New York Tribune that the crisis has been passed, that many of the mills are running night and day and none at less than 50 per cent. capacity. There has been a marked awakening in such plants with in the past few weeks and it marks a change that cannot fail to be regarded as gratifying.
 But other sections and other Ines of industry are likewise showing a revi- val of business. This is to be noted among the automobile manufacturers where more employees are being called back to work in the iron and steel in dustry where the month of August showed improvements reaching all branches of the industry, in the better conditions among the shoe and c,oth- ing workers where there has been a de- crease in the amount of unemployment and in other manufacturing plants where operations have reflected an in creased demand for the goods
 As might be expected Chicago expect: that building activity in that center will mean that a much greater number will be going to work while the pleas that a job of most any kind is prefer able and better than no work at al cannot fail to make a strong appeal ana get a substantial response.
 Every chance for decreasing the arn1 of the idle should be welcomed and en outraged and the optimistic view ot the improving conditions and the deter mination to make the best of them il bound to hasten the day of increased | employment.

DUTY TO THE DISABLED.

When President Harding spoke to the veterans who had assembled at At iantdc City to greet him on his week end visit he reiterated what he had said on previous occasions. taking ad- vantage of the occasion to again empha- size the fact that the administration is interested In the welfare of the veterans and that the country is proud of the service that was rendered during the war
 The president has on other occasions when addressing veterans of the war made 1t clear that there was nothing too good for the disabled soldiers. It Is misfortune that there has been SC nnuch laxity and confusion in connec- tion with giving them the attention tc which they are entitled. A marked re- form has been made by the present ad- ninistration in handling this matter and the president indicates that there will be no stone left unturned in thci1 behalf when he says: "The man who sSue back wounded and impaired in ability to carry on the vocation of his life deserves the fulltst in our power Co give, and I propose to use all the in nuenee I have to see that he gets it."
 That was said to the Atlantic City veterans extemporaneously but sincere ly. It is in accord with the same at titude which has been previously showr and 1t is the goal toward which ther, has been substantial progress made since he has been in the position to ex erciss the influence of the chief execu tive
 While such an expression must O necessity he cheering to the soldiers whether they happen to be numbered among the disabled Or not. tt will als get the hearty approval of tho entlr country quite the same as 1t has when ever if has been previously stated. Tn president makes it plain that he recog nized the duty of the nation to thos who have made such sac'iS,es for it a to leave them impaired in body an health and that such lies in doing ~ erythinE possible to bring about resto1 ation if that is possible or at least fur nishing all available relief.

tion department to see that they are observed. Yet it is a reasonable plea that hardships ought not to be increased for the immigrants when the holding to an unalterable rule accomplishes noth- ing.
 There are of course two sides to the situation. Just as long as those in ex- cess of the monthly quota are admitted that rule will become more and more disregarded, but inasmuch as the rule of definite number each month differs from the law which declares not over fifth of any nationality admissible can be admitted in any one month. the plan under which the law is being enA forced seems to be harsher than the law. The effort to get an even distri- button over the whole year may be de- sirable but it is only right that such a rule under the existing conditions should get reasonable enforcement.
