IRISH PREPARING
FOR RENEWED WAR
Sim Fein Parliament Discuss
Counter-Proposals and
Draft Reply

London, Aug. 10. - (By Ed L..
Keen)-Premier Lloyd George, in the
house of commons, and Marquis Cur
ION, in the house of lords, today told
the British parliament that the gov
eminent had gone the limit in its OF
fers to Ireland.
'.The government has gone to the
extreme limit in it's concession to Ire
land" Marquis Curzon declared.
The British foreign minister con-
tinued: "The only possible criticism
of the terms is that they are too gen
erOus.
eve have offered all that is pos
sible without compromising the safe
ty Of the realm and the sovereignty
of the crown"
While Curzon was telling the house
of lords that the government had
gone it's extreme limit in it's offer,
Lloyd George reported to the COM
moners, that the government has al
ready said all it has to say in it's let
ter to DeValera.'
The premier warned an anxious
house that there was great danger OF
Misrepresentation and misunderstand-
ing in the present stage of the Irish
negotiations.
,,:"The Irish mind is always full of
s..spicion," he said.
after the prime minister's state
m, at, the speaker declared that the
ho,tse of commons was adjourned I'M
til October IS. *

Members of the Sim Fem parlia-
ment who will discuss the counter
proposals individually over the week
end, will meet Monday in secret ses-
sion to draft the DaiPs reply and
make a public announcement on
Tuesday, it was believed.
Meanwhile the Sim Fcin army
is making ready for the worst. The
two hundred troops on guard today
hardly fitted the description Of "mur-
derers and cut-throats," on the con-
trary, they appeared as clear-eycd,
good natured lads of the best Irish
type, taking their work extremely Sc
rious, and enforcing orders much
more vigorously than professional
soldiers.

before the interstate commerce COM
mission, which is investigating rates

duced materially.

culture be destroyed" he said. I'm

The farmer is bearing more than
his share of the economic load, he
said, because the purchasing power
of farm products is below the aver

Henry Grady's vision of a self-re;i liant
South, prophecy spoken by that far
seeing interpreter of the New South
but not fulfilled these 80 years since
it was uttered. Lately Southern news
papers have reprinted and sent out
again the picture that Grady drew of
his people turning their energies to
agriculture with the forethought that
would make it forever unnecessary for
the cotton states to send delegations
to Washington asking for relief from
the disasters of broken cotton mark
ct. Here is Grady's ideal of every
Southern farmers economic condition
When every farmer in the South
shall eat bread from his own fields
and meat from his own pastures and
shaved by no debt, shall sit amid his
teeming gardens, and orchards and
vineyards, and diaries. and barnyards,
pitching his crops in his own wisdom

Grady on Oiversification

A letter from our friend Tom
Dickey, containing attached clipping
from the Ashville citizen, was re-
ceived this morning. Of course Mr..
Grady's famous statement is known
to all of our readers, but we are so
glad to get this direct indication of
the improvement of our frie
Dickey, that we print it again, for
his and our readers edification. Judg-
ing from the writing T. ]. is getting

among our readers join us in sending
him the best wishes for his complete
recovery.
Grady's Message
Visited again these past months by
financial depression due to misplaced
confidence on one great crop, the
South has remembered once more

nd growing them in independence

and growing them in independence,
making cotton his clean surplus, and
selling it in his own time, in his
chosen market, and not at masters
bidding-getting his pay in cash and
not in receipted mortgage that dis
charges his debt, but does not re-
store his freedom-then shall be the
breaking of the fullness of our day.
Until the South learns this lesson
there will recur inevitably the same
visitation that today that today holds
back the progress of this region. The
attractions of ready money, the ap-
peal to the speculative tendencies in
man,-these things combine to make
cotton a temptation that apparently
cannot be resisted. We refuse to
believe, and live up to it, that bread
and-meat farming is the only safe
farming that can be followed.

THE INNER HANDS
Not every face that seems fine, beautiful and fair
Shows forth a-shlne lovely spirit dwelling there;
Not every rugged, rough, deformed ill countenance
is quite enough to evidence soul virtues enhance
Suppose had the gift to feel and see
In every hand take in mine its inner quality
hold a hand that seems soft and white
And warm as princess hands; my magic sight
Beholds it clammy cold and gnarled and hard
Like grasplng talon of beast then regard
Some rough and twisted hand, horny with toll
Unslghtly in its outward shape as if the soil
Of humble work were it - 10!

AS soft as angel's-down and fine
In all its beauty radiantly divine

PERMANENT IMMIGRATION
LAWS.

The issue still is whether this coun-
try is to be alienized or American
lied. There are more than thirteen
million foreign-born persons in the
United States. The children of
some Of them are still too much
alien and too little American. 1t is
not their fault entirely, this alieniz-
ed condition, but it is none the less
a menace.
Some thirty-five million people
have entered this country since 1884.
Think of that Such a migration is
a great event in history, yet we
Americans have disregarded its i'm
portance, relying on some magic or
other, or on the great god Luck. The
United States has played in marvel,
Gus luck, no doubt; but without in
telligent comprehension of it prob
lens, we are likely to awaken to find
that luck hes hidden us goodby.
Congress has enacted restrictions
on immigration that hold until next
summer. Now is the time to press
Congress to enact restrictions to hold
ct least generation. A generation
that has diluted Americanism to a
perilous degree requires to be fol-
lowed by a generation that will
fortifv Americanism for posterity's
and the republics sake.
This question of whether we shall
or Americanize ourselves is
the cardinal issue. BY comparison
other questions are temporal. In
this one there is fatality.-Minne-
