AFTER THE sPATs.

We've had our troubles. Ma and I.
But countin' all that's come and gone
An all the times the fur would fly.
Somehow we've still kept iovin' on:
An whether she or / was wrong,
We never kept our grouches long.
We've watched the youngsters quarra
too.
An wrangle as they played their
games,
They've scrapped, as children often do
An called each other dreadful names
Yet when each little spat was DER.
They were as lovin' az before.
We've lived our years as man an wife
About the way most people do;
Some days have brought as bitter strife
Yet rsways we have smiled IL
through:
An though some angry words have
passed,
We've never let the quarrel last.
There's no divorce court needed here
There's nothing now can go amiss
Our tempers are not so severe
But they VIII soften with a kiss.
Like children. when the spat is DER
We're just as lovin' as before.

The Dali Eireann may sustain Mr..
DE Valera in rejecting the British
Governments offer, but such action
would not necessarily terminate the
negotiations. Back of Dali Eireana
are the people OF Ireland, 20 whom
thS question may be referred for
final decision. In addition to that re-
course there is the friendly advance
to Ulster IN DE Valera's latest speech.
which may fairly be construed, we
think, as a disposition on the Re-
publican leaders past to provide rea-
sons for continuing the discussion.
Any reason for continuing the dis
cussion should be welcome both in
London and Dublin. Neither party
to the pariey can afford 20 declare
the effort a failure until the very last
possibility has been exhausted The
gravity Of the issue from every view
point compels the infinite patience,
the utmost determination not to give
up while a shred OF hope remains.
In the open debate de Valera pos
sibly has the bettsr of Lloyd George.
The Irish leader is correct in saying
that the offer made Ireland is not a
dominion status. since the right to
secede from the empire, which other
domin4ons theoretically possess, is not
included In the terms. Still, the res
eryation, with strategic safeguards"
which qualities the proposal probably
covers that very point. But the issue
is not debate between Lloyd George
and De Valera. II is a question Of a
peoples destiny. For De Valera and
those associSted with him in leader
ship the question is how they can best
serve the people OF ireland. In answer
ing it they ought 70 take seriously
into account a sentence in Gen.
SHUTS moving letter to DE Valera
which says that any question that
YOU (Ireiand) and the British Gov
ernment may have win be for the
imperial conference TO decide In
that sentence the stature OF the Do
minion OF Ireland is impressiyely de-
fined. No longer will differences have
to be threshed out with Westminster.
Dublin Castle as a symbol is razed
as completely as the Bastile: I'M

has a higher court to which she may

pire.

No two men In the public eye are
temperamenta1 more unlike than
Oswald Garrison Willard and George
Bernard Shaw. Willard is no more
capable of cynicism. of epigram flip-
pancy than was his maternal grand
father. William Lloyd Garrison. Shaw
Is the very impersonation of cynicism,
OF epigram fiIppancy. 1t must have
been the attraction of opposites that
made Willard write TO Shaw urging
him to come to the United States. We
don't suspect him for an instant OF
expecting the answer he got. though il
must have interested such an enthu-
siast. This was the answer:
Dear Mr.. xillard--This conspiracy
has been going on for years: but in
vain Is the net spread in sight of the
bird. / have no intention either of go-
ing to prison with Debs or taking
my wife to Texas. whore the ku Klux
klan snatches white women out of
hotel yerandas and tars and feathers
them. IL I were dependent on martyr
dom for a reputation. which happily
/ am not, / could go TO Ireland. II is
a less dangerous place: but then the
voyage is shorter and much cheaper.
You are right in your impression
that number OF persons are urging
me TO come to the United States. But
why on earth do YOU call them my
friends? c. Bernard Shaw.
Now Mr.. Willard has precisely the
same view of the Debs case as George
Rernard displays. He has also the
same view of the Ku KIux outrages in
Texas and elsewhere. Precisely what
his notions are about ireland We can
only guess. but they are probably not
very different from the playwright's s
And yet Mr.. Willard is an optimist. not
pessimist, about America. despite his
hatred OF injustice to Negroes, and he
knows as well as Shaw himself thai
Mrs. Shaw would be in no danger in
any part of Texas, and that no Fedora
prison would confront the epigrar
maker. So his feeling is not unmixes
qualification after all. As a reforme,
he Is tickled. As patriotic American
he Is newly grieved. His state of mint
may be easily imagined. though i
lends itself imperfectiy to verbal de
scription.

The losers will be more careful in

Those persons who have avaiied

An ARMY OF GrNNERs READY.

Editor Every Evening; The fact
that there have already been issued
ry tn. Pennsylvania authorities aao,-
900 hunting licenses. indicates rather
clearly that the old lust for killing
Is returning. The season IL yet sew
.ral weeks of. and by the time the
game birds are free to the hunters
possibly the number of permits 10
kill will have reached the round nan
million. There was pause during the
lays of carnage of the world war in
the killing of game, but the old fever
ia back with renewed intensity, until
one out of every sixteen inhabitants
of Pennsylvania has taken out per-
frrits to shoot birds and rabbits and
other a r,imals of which there are very
few left in the State.
IL might be argued that the State
gets a considerable revenue from this
sort of taxation. but no one will doubt
that the destruction of bird life is
many times more of "a financial loss
than Ia represented by the total
receipts from hu2ting permits.
One announcement from game ward
ems is to the effect that the blackblrd
season In now on. and the hunters
should be prepared to take advantage
of the shooting. One can not imag-
inc what sport a real gunner can find
in stalking blackbirds and shooting
them on the ground sitting, as he
would kill rats.
1t is, indeed, 1amentable that the
officials of all of the States cannot see
the folly of permitting the destruc-
ton not only of game birds, but of al
most every living thing in the fields
and woods Nothing can well escape
the modern magazine, high-pewered
guns and all the other modern devices
that go to make field shooting more
and more effective from the sports
mems point of view-more destructive
to wild game life in reality.
IT is even worse than useless to
argue or plead for the protection or
preservation of the birds. One Is met
at<every turn by Misrepresentation
For example several months ago il
was proven to the satisfaction of those
who sought to establish the claim that
reed birds should be killed on sight

The really best, and biggest Wis

1t is surprising too that farmer.
