Dublin, Sept. Sim Fein Ire.
land today awaited publication of ths
text and of the note sent to Prime
Minister Lloyd George yesterday by
Eamonn de Valera and his colleagues
in the Irish Republican government.
Mr.. Lloyd George is spending a brief
vacation at Gairloch, Scotland, and
it was announced that nothing rela-
tive to the Sim Fein reply to the
prime minister's note relative to the
settlement of the Irish question
would be given out here until it was
known it was in Mr.. Lloyd Georges
hands.
It was believed, however, that. the
Sim Fein leaders did not discuss
with the prime minister any of the
points Of his latest note with the e8-
ception of the final clause, in WHICH
further negotiations were suggested.
There is evidently desire upon the.
part Of men high in ths councils Of
the Republican movement to develop
further the condition upon which
dominion status would be granted
Ireland, and there appears to he a
disposition to consider favorably

THE COUNTRY. DOCTOR

Mecklenburg county, N. c., 'whic
includes the city of Charlotte, is noi
without single doctor outside tn
cities and towns. There are four coun
ties in Massachusetts, now withou
doctors. ~.
There are several explanations fol
this One is changed living condi
tions, including the building Of goot
roads and the use of automobiles and
telephones. A physician may live in
city or town, keep telephone and
an automobile, and visit his patients
for miles around.
But the real reason. perhaps, is
that the country doctor, as people
used to know him, is passing. This is
q day of specialization, with physi-
clans as well as with everybody else.
The general practitioner will soon be
a thing Of the past. In his stead there
will be specialists in nervous diseases,
stomach diseases, eye, ear and nose
diseases, and so on. Indeed, we have
almost reached that point now.
The physician who is not a special
list in some particular disease must
be at least diagnostician. He can
tell you what is the matter with you,
and tell what specialist to consult.
The doctor who used to treat all dis
eases, and with fair success and, if
need be, furnish all the medicines
needed, will soon be known to- the
world no more. ... :.
But we don't know whether the
world will be any better off or not.

SOME PLAIN TRUTHS.

Z Herbert Hoover, in a speech il
Boston the other day, gave utteranct
TO some plain truths which must ap
Peal to all thinking persons, OF what
ever political persuasion. He dis:
cussed the industrial and financial
situation Of the world in general and
in this. country in particular at some
length, and wound up with the fol.
lowing:
"But when all is said and done, the
best cure for all depression is courage
and applied intelligence and the re-
turn to the primary virtues of hard,
conscientious toll and economy in
lying. sOn every side there is evi-
dence that the vast majority of our
whole nation is making an effort
again in these directions, ,equaled
only by that of 1918. While our re-
covery may be slower than some may
expect, nothing can prevent the pros.
perity Of country where the peo-
pie have enlightenment, the. wish to
work, the wish to produce, and the
wish to do right by their neighbors.
eve are nation Of men, women
and children, Our industrial system
and our commerce are simply instru-
ments for their comfort and happi-
ness. n.,-
when we deal with these great
problems of business and economics
we must be inspired by the knowl-
edge that we are increasing and de-
Tending the stadards of living of our
people. Upon this soil grow all those
moral and intellectual forces that
make our nation great"
This is about the most statesman
like utterance that we have read in
some time. 1t is inspirational.
The fact that the resources of this
country are SO great, and the people
of the country. themselves are so
great, that we will not have any Sc
rious business depression for very
long at time. a..
And the more steadfast we are TO
the principles of common honesty
and decent living, the more enduring
and unassailable will be our prosper
ity.

wids6sit any doubt ths answers which havS been made by the board of sas and electrical commissioners in reply to the questions submitted to 1t by Mayor Le- ron have been read with close interest by 2 large proportion of the citizens. That is only what was to be expected in view of the deep concern which is manifested in this lnuhicip2I lighting plant and the service which it furnishes. ..
 The enlightenment which has been given, and apparently given with view te setting forth the conditions as they are, furnishes the owners of tfie plant with information which they did not pos sess and which up to now there had not been able to obtain. Unfortunately just such information has not been obtainable from year ts year. The owners have been put into possession of only sdcf facts as they should have and it has beer acknowledged by the commission not only that they are entitled to them but thz the mayor and the council have the au therity to get it.
