"HUNGER STRIKE" NOT NEW
Was Successfully Employed a. Fat
Back as the Days Of the Early
Roman Empire.

The hunger strike, as means ts
gaining ones end, Is not q modern In.
stItution. Like so many other things
that relate to personal and national
conduct, II becomes necessary to bark
back to the old Romans to find an In.
stance of where ii was successfully
employed.
II was in 3. g. and Tiberlus. the
famous general of Emperor Augustus
was the man who put II over with a
dispatch that would have brought
praises from moderns.
Tiberius was q man of dignity and
spirit, who represented traditional
conservatism. He was married TO
Julia. daughter of Augustus, widow
of Agrippa. by whom she had FIVE chill
dren. among them Caius. who figures
In this tale. She was given to that
luxurious life which was feared by
the philosophers and legislators of the
time.
While Tiberius was engaged In the
campaign against the Germans, Julia
commenced to cut up with a young
aristocrat. Sempronius Gracious. Au-
gustus had, IL years previously,
made law which just fitted her case
and under which she later was ex-
He'd.
Julia not only continued her lax
career. but also started on outlining
political career for Caius, then
fourteen years old. II was in direct
opposition to the aims of her husband
that she started a campaign to have
Caius appointed pro-consul and she
worked her propaganda so well that
Augustus was finally compelled to
heed the popular clamOr. Augustus
knew at the time that this would be
offensive to Tiberius. but thought he
might smooth II over by giving
Tiberius trlbunician powers and charg-
ing him with subduing revolt in Ar
menia.
That is whore Tiberus baked. he
insult and demanded permission to re-
tire to private life. This caused a
clash with Augustus. 1t was then
Tiberius threatened to let himself die
Of hunger. Augustus remained firm
for a while. hut being unfamiliar with
the length of time a human being
might go without food. probably not
having heard of the 40-day fast by
Moses. he yielded nj the end of the
fourth day Of Tlherius' fast. After
the senate had granted the permission,
1iberius took his departure for Italy
and remained in exile for several
years.

The negotiations between the Brit
ish Government and the so-called
Irish Republic have reached a most
critical stage. Premier Lloyd-George
has offered the Irish a dominion
form of self-government similar TO
that enjoyed by Canada, Australia
and South Africa, but it has been
refused by the Sim Fein leaders be-
cause they claim that the conditions
sought to be imposed constitute in
reference in Irish affairs and con-
troll which cannot be permitted"
Their real objection seems to be that
the Premier will not recognize the
right of Ireland to secede from her
allegiance TO the Empire. Ulster or
Northern Ireland has already ac-
cepted the British proposal to es-
t. blish an Irish Parliament. The
door is still left open for future
negotiations by Mr.. Lloyd Georges
that the Government
will discuss the application Of the
plan whenever its essential features
are accepted. 1t is to be hored that
the Southern Irish leaders will aban-
don their foolish sticking for VI
sionary ideas Of independence and
accept the eminently fair proposal of
admittance as an integral part of the
British Empire. thus putting an end
10 a situation of national outlawry
which has become an offense to the
civilized world.

PURlrANs IN FOOLISH FIGHT


Dress reformers of the present day,
who deplore the abbreviated skirt and
peek-a-boo waist, may be astounded to
learn that even In the good old puritan
times the lure of Dame Fashion had
a bewitching effect on the young men
and madens.
Researches into the ancient laws of
the Massachusetts Bay colony have re-
vealed that the fathers had their own
troubles with their offspring, who rec
ognized a snappy style when they
saw 1t.
In 1884, just four years after the
arrival of Governor Winthrops ships,
the apparel question had become SO
pressing that the lawmakers tried
their hands as fashion molders.
Here is the statute placed on the
books in its original wording: e.
'The Court, takeing into considera-
ton the create, superfluous and I'M
necessary expences occasioned by rea-
son of some newe and immodest fash
ions, as also the ordinary. weareing Of
silver, golde and silke laces, girdles,
hat bands, etc., hath therefore ordered
that no person, either man or woman,
shall hereafter make or buy apparel,
either wooden, silke or lynnen, with
any lace on it, silver, golde silke or
threed, under the penalty of the for
lecture of such cloathes.
provided, and 1t is the meaning Of
this court that men and women shall
have liberty to weare out such APP
parell as they are move provided Of,
except the immoderate create sleeves,
slashed apparel, immoderate create
rayles, long wings, etc.
This order to take place fortnight
after the publishing thereof"

The Sport Of Kings.

Tennis was ever q distinguished
sport. 1t has been favored by the no
bility. In the recent tournament al
Cannes the king of Sweden anu the
ex-king of Portugal handled their rack
cts with skill and dexterity in mixed
doubles with Mile. Lenglen and Mrs.
Bemish for partners. Mile. Lenglen
and King Manuel won the first SET
from Mrs. Bemlsh and the king of Swe-
den; in the second King Manuel and
Mrs. Bemish were defeated by Mile
Lenglen and the king of Sweden. Thus
honors were even In that each KING
had a victory, though Mrs. Bemish Wal

Ships Long In Service.

The vessels of past centuries had o
career which seems to us moderns
like the longevity OF the patriarchs.
The Princess Mary, which brought
william Of Orange to England, was in
active service for more than 200 years.
She was seventy-two years old when
she arrived with the Dutch troops In
Torbay. Under the name OF Betsy

THE NEWBERRY FARCE

In the Newberry electiop case the
Republican members of the Senate
Committee on Privileges and Elec-
tiOns, in voting TO exonerate the
Senator from Michigan on the charge
of the improper use of money in the
1919 campaign. have abandoned all
pretense of being guided by the evil
dence. Partisan motives, and nothing
else, can explain their decision; yet,
because of what has gone before, it
will excite no establishment.
!, The Spencer Subcommittee, which
was intrusted with the duty of con-
Quoting an investigation, made no ef-
fort 10 go to the bottom of the case.
1t hardly took the trouble to mask
its intentions. or the witnesses sum
moned before il, in the main the eX-
animation was perfunctory and SUI
perficial. b. F. Emery, the Newber-
~ Office manager and paymaster,
when wanted as a witness, disap-
peared into Canada and no serious
attempt to compel his attendance was
afterward made. Senator Newberry
himself never offered 10 appear nor
was he called to testify. Only re-
luctantly was the Spencer sub-com-
mittee induced to admit in evidence
the record in the trial of Senator
Newberry in the United States Dis
trict Court at Grand Rapids, where
he was convicted under the Federal
Corrupt-Practices Act. Incomplete
as it was, il was more than sufficient
to convince a jury of Senator New
berry's peers that he obtained his
election through the corrupt use OF
money.
Evidently the Republican Senators
of the Committee on Privileges and
Elo ctions needed no evidence. Theil
minds were proof against facts and
arguments. That over 100000 hat

who dominate the present Republic
can County administration? And
who will dominate the next, should
1t be Republican? 1t is not neces-
sary for the Republican to make a
grand-stand inquiry of us. Any
chance passer-by can answer its
query.
d.. No. All the merit, ability and
honesty are not in the Democratic
party. We are not so narrow as to
claim It. We know too many men
and women who are Republicans
and excellent citizens. But we
reiterate that the County's affairs,
especially in fiscal lines, have been
wcefully mismanaged during the last
four years. Taxes have been steadi-
" raised and we have not sufficient
returns to show for il. We sincerely
believe that the gentlemen whose
names appear as candidates at the
head of this column are better fitted
to serve the people than any others
offering for their suffrage. We are
honored to be able TO offer to the
voters such an opportunity to "dig
the county out of the mud" literal
ly and fguratively, and boost it
along the highway of progress.

steamed her face, dashed cold water

After that she manicured her naiis,

acy Remains Unquestioned.

Radlum has indeed force which Is
as terrible as it is wonderful. 1t can
be carried from place to place only
when encased in receptacle having
leaden walls several inches thick.
Even then the carrier will do well to
swing the receptacle as he walks, lest
holding it in still position should
permit the powerful rays to find their
way through the lead and into his
body. When radium rays are applied,
the radium Is placed in specially
prepared room with slit in the wall
whereby the rays are made to fall only
upon the precise spot desired. The
handler of radium, if he desires safe
ty, must wear gloves lined with lead,
and if he would avoid injury to his
eyes he will wear spectacles of glass
containing lead salts. Even armed with
cumbersome lead-lined gloves, radium
salts must be touched only with
pincers and must be handled only up
on wooden tables lined with lead. This,
then, is the character of the substance
which a delicate FrenchwOman brought
forth from a mass of waste ore and

copied as the most wonderful curative

The Republicans talk of OrganiZa-

Democratic party IN this county does
not contain class OF professional
politicians, as does the Republican.

let or hinderance from the party or
