British History.
Normans Conquered England, Ee'
land, Wales, but Not Scotland.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: A lot
Of nonsense is being printed about the
Irish question on both sides of the At
Irishman. De Valera-Don Quixote de
Valera-does not believe In absolute
Irish independence but is trying to OBJ
tain from Lloyd George some kind Of
acknowledgment that will. SO to speak,
nullify the Norman conquest Of Ireland.
After that presume 1t may be In order
for George or some other Welshman to
Jump on some Englishman In authority
If such there be-and compel him to
nullify-verbany--t Norman conquest
Of Wales. Finally. 1t will be up to some
Saxon Englishman to obtain from ar
Englishman of Norman descent verbal
notification Of the Norman conquest Of
England.
The two southern countries and the
western country in the Britannia group
are all conquered. Ireland was not con-
quered by the original English, in spite
OF the arrogant claims Of certain Eng
lish and the ululations of certain Irish.
She was gathered in by the Normans
after they had established themselves in
England and Wales.
Then the Normans collected q large
army Of Norman, Saxon. Welsh and
Irish troops and attempted with disas-
trous results to Norman power and pres
tige, the conquest of Scotland,
All historians agree that the licking
the Scots gave the combination was COM
plete in every detail. Scotland is the
only unconquered country in the Britain
mic group. She came into the Union
free and on equal terms with England,
retaining common law. church and gen.
eral legislative and social independence.
That Is why Scots people don't like to
have the Union or United Kingdom
called England.
After the Scottish war for fndepend-
ence was ended successfully at Ban
nockburn Bruce assembled the Irish
prisoners he had captured, added a few
Scottish troops and sent them all to
Ireland under the leadership Of his
brother Edward, with instructions to re-
cruit an Irish army-which was done

And the clock ticks loud In the hall.
A brush that is dipped in silver light
Paints pictures rare on my wall;
Dark clustering leaves are sharply

And feathery branches Of pines.

On the turf of woodland lawns.

THE RATTLE AGAINST BOOZE

When the 18th amendment was
passed the American people, es-
pecially that portion who had long
fought the liquor traffic, conceived
the idea that John Barleycorn was
down and out But they have found
that this is only relatively true.
John u. may be down. but decid-
edly he Is not out. Nor is Il appar-
ent at this time that he ever will
be completely out
So long as there are men. or wo-
men who will buy the stuff and pay
exorbItant prices for It's seductive
Influence. so long will there be men,
and women, who will take a chance
to make the contraband and sell II.
As matter OF fact. while the
public generally does not so view
Il; the man who buys the booze is
contributing to the odds against
which the officers battle. as much
as the boot logger himself,
Neither are the men who buy
alone as allies oi John b., he has
a host OF others, including the men
and women called upon TO do Jury
duty who persistently turn loose
men OF whose guilt, there Is no
doubt, This has been done so often
that officers almost dispair OF get
ting a conviction. In fact the boot
logger has so great an advantage
over the Officers that II he goes to
trial his chances OF escape are al
most two to one,

the first city In Oregon that some
OF the tourists will see, but II will
also be the last which others viii
visit who come from the west and

Since the highway commission
has built these roads leading 10 the
city for the purpose OF drawing
the tourist this way and from here
on through the state the least on

means here for the care Of the
visitors.

there is much to be done. Few OF
the ranchers are equipped to raise
enough hogs TO sell In carload lots.
Neither is there a sufficient number
engaged in the industry to efficient
ly unite for pool shipment. Grad
ually this situation will right itself.
Work to that end is necessary.
But all these are comparatively
minor factors. The greatest problem
is that which the farmers them
selves must accomplish I'm them
selves Either this change will
come, or the present ranchers will
sell their holdings and seek other
fields where there is still opportun-
tiles for hay growing as the sole in
dustry.
This may seem hard statement,
but one Is forced to this conclusion
with the experience of similar re-
glons as examples Such a change
is not due to the fact that the pres
ent ranchers are not successful pro-
ducers. They are and have been
successful In fact they have pro-
duced more hay than they could sell.
II is not in production that they
have failed; but in marketing
one often hears the statement;
you cannot make dairyman out
of Malheur county hay grower"
This is only relatively true There
is no doubt concerning the ability Of
the average hay grower to master
the details OF dairying; but he does
not want to master Il; that is the
majority do not. And no one can
blame those who do not. late In
life; change their mode OF living,
revolutionize their well established
habits; get into new game. II Is
not a natural process. There Is not
a business man In any OF the towns
that would relish the thought OF
so drastic reversal IN all
his affairs.
Since this II true Il Is patent that
the problem is essentially one for
the farmers themselves TO solve,
with such cooperation and help AZ
the business men can legitlmately |
give them. Just the nature OF as-
sistance which the business men can |
give is the question they must set
lie.

The question is how can II best

necessary elements to be brought

First OF all there must be real
ization that a change Is needed;
that no longer can the rancher de-
pend upon one crop-alfalfa.
In part this Is done. II has been
accomplished through two over
powering facts; the falling prices Of
the past year which attended over
production or reduced number OF
cattle and sheep, which amounts 10
the same thing; and secondly the
coming OF the alfalfa weevil into
the valley.
To be convinced that alfalfa

That is the worst of &C. II Is a de-
claration that so far as Ontario Is
concerned we have one law for the
home folks, another for strangers.
That is putting It BADLY II Is

But Ontario is not an exceptional
place. It is just typical What is

EVERY FOOT OF ARK KANSAS
 RIVER BED HAS BEEN LEASED

Every foot of the Arkansas river bed and bars from point below Wrightsville almost to the Oklahoma border, with the exception of few gaps, has been leased to some one, in- dividual or corporation, for the pos sible development of oil or gas wells. Former Attorney General Arbuckle began the granting of these leases, and since the discovery of an oil seep- age on the banks within the city linn its of Little Rock, Attorney General Utley has been overrun with applca- tions. No actual development has been started by any of these lessees, but it is expected that test wells will be drilled soon at some point along the river The state will receive a handsome royalty on all gas and oil produced.

DECLINE IN COMMON
 LABOR ON THE FARM

Wages being paid common labor on the farms are on the decline. A year ago it was a common thing for farm labor to receive as much as $2.50 day. Then conditions began to tight en. Farmers products began to move slowly or not at all. Prices dropped to point frequently far below the actual cost of production. This con dition could not continue long. One of the remedies being applied is the reduction in the wages paid farm labor. One large planter near Little Rock last Saturday called his men into conference and informer them that it had become absolutely neces- sary to retrench; that he had no de- sire to discharge anyone, but that he could no longer pay $2.00 a day for labor. He had studied the situation carefully and had come to the con- clusion that he could not afford to pay more than $1.00 a day and board. If the men were willing to work for that amount, they would all be re- tained; if not, he would have to let them go. Every man agreed to stay.
