Lindsay Crawford, editor of the To-
rotor Statesman, and member of the
Orange Lodge of the Friends of

at Typographical temple last night.
Mr. Crawford deprecated England's
claim that Ireland's troubles were of
a religious origin, and said that the
conflict between the two countries
had had it's beginning in parlia

there were no Irish representatives,
and which did not recognize Ireland
politically or legally.
The speaker further stated that
Canada, like Ireland, has a highly

protest against her anomalous posi-

BUILDING BOOM IN D. C.
u. S. Employment Service Reports
Favorable Conditions Here.

A building boom is now in progress
in the District Of Columbia which
promises to continue throughout the
winter If weather conditions permit,
according to the monthly report of
the United States employment SER
vice. made public today. There is,
however. the report says, a shortage
of low price houses for sale and very
few of any type for rent.
Unemployment and part time en-
ployment obtains among the railroad
shop men, auto mechanics. machinists
and common laborers and there are
still large humber of general cler-
ical workers unemployed. Reports
generally throughout the fifth en-
ployment service district, comprising
the District of Columbia and eight
states, show increased employment.
Employment in 1.42S firms In the
United States, each employing more
than 500 workers. increased nearly
half of one per cent in the period be-
tween October 81 and November 80,
the report showed. There were 7,2l9
more employees on payrolls on Novem-
Der 80 than on October 81. Forty cit
les showed increases in employment
while decreases were reported from
twenty-four cities.

The. New Demon.

The Demon Rum, in bygone
days, was bad enough for thirsty
jays. 1t stripped them of their
hard-earned wealth, and under
mined their valued health and
tinted red the beaks they wore,
and spoiled their stand-off at the
store, and gave them all a bum
renown as a discredit to the
town. Yet with the Demon they
might train for many years ere
they were slain; the Demon got
them in good time, but nursed
them while they had a dime. The
Demon stunned indecent haste !;
he thought it looked like wanton
waste to kill off sots while they
could fetch another rouble to
the wretch. The old-time Demon
Rum is through; now we have
Demon Number Two. He has
no patience with the guy who
takes a drink and doesn't die.
He likes to see his patrons come
and take slug of poisoned rum,
and, after breathing fire and
smoke, curl up at once, and yell
and croak. The Demon in the
darkness tolls; in witches
caves his cauldron boils, caul-
dron filled with deadly things,
with upas leaves and serpent
stings, with everything that's
foul and mean, with all that's
noxious and obscene. And then
his janizaries go to sell his dead
ly broth of woe, and if man
drinks and doesn't die, the
Demon heaves a weary sigh.

maintenance and encouragements of
export trade are among the recon-
mendations in a suggested tariff pol
icy for the United States. which will
be put to vote this week by the

policy would mean a radical depar-

principles and practices.
A committee of the chamber has

Presidents view being that "a man
who would lie and break promises
which he had made verbally would
just as cheerfully perjure himself
or break solemn treaty if he thought
it was to his interest to do So" A
beautiful sentiment. Presumably all
treaties are to be abolished, and we
take it for granted that just as soon
as Uncle Andy Mellon can be convert
ed to this latest Administration the.
ory the Federal Reserve will instruct
all banks to abandon the wretched
custom Of asking borrowers to sign
promissory notes. Take the mans
word for it, of course. Doesn't he
say he will pay back the money?
The Harding Administration has lit
tie sense of humor, but it is usually
funny when it is squirming to keep
away from the League of Nations.
Manchester Democrat., 1921-11-30
SOMETHING JUST AS GOOD.

AS a cure-all for the political ills
OF all mankind, President Harding has
asked the Washington Conference to
assist in the formation of an Asso-
citation of Nations. The proposed AS
sociation is described as not in con-
flict with the League of Nations, but
something just as good. And it gives
the President chance to square his
recommends with the campaign tactics
OF his partisan associates last year.
OF course it would not be nice for
the visiting delegates to talk other
than hopeful about plan proposed
by the head of the spoiled child of
the international family, but there is
not even so much as a remote pos
sibility of the proposed Association
supplantiag the League OF Nations.
Mr. Harding's substitute for the
League, if ever presented for ratifi-
cation in the form of treaty, will
be consigned to a resting place in
the Senate's grave yard for treaties.
How much better it would have been
if the treaty negotiated by President
Wilson had been ratified with this
country's rights fully safegaurded by
reservations prepared by Root, Hughes
and Taft? President Wilson was not
wholly free from blame for the failure.

/ AM THE GOOD ROAD
(By Bradley Hogue)

(By Bradley Hogue>
am the GOOD ROAD.
They call me sand and gravel and
concrete and cement.
But am more.
l am the living friend of man.
When high prices call to the farmer
"Come," help him speed quickly to
the market.
I insure him good prices. I am his
business friend.
I am his social familiar. 1 draw
him closer to his fellow farmer. Fo1
the drab loneliness of the rural life
substitute the life and color that
come from the evening spent in pleas.
ant converse with friends.
I annihilate space and thus neigh.
bors I make more neighborly and oi
the two or more whom vile highways
have made strangers, I make compan.
ions.
When through the Sabbath stiffness
the church bells fling far their silver
summons over field and meadow, in.
yite him who lives distant from the
church door to use my shining sur.
face and so quickly draw near to God
link home and school together and
thus the children, laughing at the wet
that once held them home bound, can
go along with me to where education
offers opportunity, wisdom and the
fuller life.
When the springtime calls like a
sweet dream of youth renewed, when
the prairie flowers summon man TO Wis
it God in the fields, am at hand tc
bring him quickly out of the hot and
stiffling city to where the breeze and
the birds are symphony of exquisite
delight.
Whoever votes that shall be, votes
for himself a better being.
Whoever champions my cause cham.
pions the cause of completer civil.
ization.
I am a material asset-if you will
have me so-as certain as the Song OF
Solomon.
Whose is forward looking" will in
clude me in his vision.
Whose is content to live in mud
hole life, only he should oppose the
coming of the day when, with prosper

self forward over the uttermost reach

THE REACTION BEGINS.
(From The Des Moines Register)

(From The Des Moines Register)
Cheers for Wilson, a spontaneous
tribute that embarrassed the wal
president during his appearance at
the ceremonies for the unknown
warrior" are plainly indicative OF
the change that is bound to take
place in the attitude of the American
people toward him.
It would be better not to consid-
er this change alone, or rather,
this change as it affects Wilson alone.
Another demonstration of similar sig
nificance was that at Kansas City
when General Pershing appeared be-
fore the legionaires.
A while back, Wilson was the symbol
Of political cause and the repre-.
sentative of political party doomed
to defeat He suffered from all the
animosities engendered by the great
est Of wars, and from the recessions
of spirit that followed the war, and
from the necessarily unhappy eco
nomic consequences of the war. There
came time when his picture on the
screen failed to bring cheer, though
a few months earlier it was the sig
nal for pandemonium. Wilson for a
day seemed frustrated, discredited.
The nation set its face in new
direction. With the cruelty of all
mass movements, it turned it's back
on Wilson.
Now comes the sign of change.
Indifference to Wilson could not en-
3ure. As the years pass his name
will blaze again. Probably the fu-
ture will be kind to him beyond
his deserts, just as the recent past
has been unfeeling. Once the po-
litical differences of the period are
got away from, there will be moth
ing to prevent and everything to en-
courage a process of apotheosizing
our war president.

Crude Methoda Of Defense.

Pueblo Indians were never warriors.
but in the old days they were subject
to frequent attacks by the wandering
tribes, such as the Apaches and the
Navajos. Therefore many of the crude
adobe houses were built with port
holes up near the roof, which the oc-
cupants used to defend themselves
from the attackers. Many of these
old houses are still standing, and port
holes are still there, just as they were
years and years ago. OF course they
are all occupied, for no new houses
are built unless there is an absolute
necessity for them.

a sarpent pure MYTH.

There are no sea serpents and
armor-plated monsters that rise from
oceans bottom and frighten vacation
lists. So says the prince Of Monaco,
one Of the worlds foremos' oceanog-
raphers. Forget, also, the prince says,
mental pictures Of deep-sea forests Of
lace-like vegetation waving gently as
submarine monsters move lazily
through it. The depths Of the sea are
as barren as the tops Of mountains.
That is why there are no monsters in
the depths Of the sea; there is moth
ing there for them to feed on.

Helpful Rubber Ban dc.

Small elastic rubbers like those used
around rolls of paper in Offices are
more convenient for placing around
rolls of patches or cloth left over from
making a garment than using pins or
strings for tying around them and pre-

away. Catalogs, magazines, punches
Of papers may be rolled with rubber

Raven Distinctly Unpopular.

The raven, apparently, has gained
little in the affections Of the people
from it's kindly act Of supplying Elijah
with food when the prophet was
hungry. 1t is regarded as bird Of
i'll omen wherever it's black shadow
appears. Apparently, the good folk
of the countryside look on the raven
as sinister bird, and it has not been
able to shake from it's feathers their
evil repute, though it be largely un-
deserved.

Clock Watchers Are slackers.

At a recent convention of employers
one of them made the statement that
the efficiency Of his employees had
been increased 300 per cent by the
removal of all clocks from the plant.
There are many employees who pay
more attention to the clock than to
their own work.

Explaining the Word Bogus
Bogus is thought to be a corruption
Of the French bagasse, Latin bagasea,
and was applied in French America to
the refuse of the sugar-cane. Another
derivation is from Borghese, an Italian
who flooded the southwestern states
with counterfeit money. Bogus is al
