CITIES LOSE THEIR CHARM

Returns from prohibition still con tinue to come in, and in unexpected ways. For instance, it has helped the small towns by keeping prominent citi- zens and others at home, instead of browsing about the purlieus of metro politan cities, looking for strange forms of excitement. The average prominent citizen in the small town was in the habit of going to the city" two or three times a year on business. Since pro- hibition came in and destroyed the night life of the great cities he finds the city much less attractive. He can have just as good a time on Main street in the home town now as he can find on Broadway or any other of the for merly ebullient streets with the great white lights turned off.
 And the great cities are not mourn ing the loss of the ebullient night fea- tures They were mainly stage per formances framed to give the country citizen an idea of the extreme wicked ness of the cities. City people were not attracted by them. They lived their lives quietly much the same as the country citizen at home, but off in one corner of the cities has always been staged some variety of bizarre menag- erie where the rural persons could be taken and made to believe that they were sampling the usual city life. And they saw with amazement and returned home with weird tales to tell.
 The prominent citizen and others of Carbuncle Siding can now communi- cate with their home bootlegger and get just as much excitement in the card room over the town garage as they could secure by long journey to the | city. Hence, they stay at home.-Seat- | tie Post st-Intelligencer.

NEW HOPE
HOODLUM JAILED

New Hope C. Rockhill, is alleged
to be a "Pee2ing Tom" has been
lodged in the Bucks County Jal al
Doylestown to await the action Of
the Grand Jury. He was committed
by Justice of the Peace Charles Ro-
berts, of this place. He is charged
with assault and battery, an attempt
to commit rape and being a suspicious
character.
Roekhill worked on the farm of
Walter Stever last May. One day
while the rest of the family were
away the man is alleged to have en-
terer the room of the daughter, who
is only in her teens. The girl ran to
the home of a neighbor and when her
father returned he discharged the
farm hand. The man disappeared
until recently when he was found
prowling around peoples homes and
looking into the windows.
Mr.. Roberts should be commended
for having this man apprehended-
New Hope has been cursed with "hood-
lumism', and it is time to clean up.

advocate general of the army; Col.
John e. Hunt and Col. c. c. Cresson

nection with the escape of Grover c..

which Bergdoll, whose attorney he
was, was released from military prison
under guard to dig up pot Of gold,
and the report recommends that he be
disbarred from practicing In the courts
Of the nation "above whose safety and
integrity he placed gold" Colonel
Hunt is held directly responsible for
the escape of Bergdoll because he
neglected to have him handcuffed and
adequately guarded; and Colonel Cres-
son is severely criticized for his "pre-
tense of prosecution of Colonel Hunt,
who was tried by court-martial. The

sentativees Luhring of Indiana, Repub-

Russia Yields Slowly
to American Relief

1t is almost Incredible, but true
ers of Russia were still haggling last
week over the terms on which Ameri-
cans should be permitted to undertake
the relief of the starving and pest
stricken millions of the Volga valley
and southern Russia. Day after day
famine relief commission, fenced with
Walter L. Brown, chief of the Euro
pean section of the American relief
administration, yielding slowly and
reluctantly to Mr.. Browns demands,
suspicious like his fellow Bolsheviks
that any foreigners admitted to Rus
STA will take advantage of the oppor-
tunity to conspire to overthrow the
soviet regime. At this writing Lit
vinoff has given In on all points save
one. He still insists that the Boil
sheviks shall have the right to limit
the number of relief workers and to
expel any of them. Meanwhile the
Russians are dying like flies for lack
of food and medicines.
1t lis interesting to note that soviet
Russia has abandoned prohibition. A
decree has been issued permitting the
manufacture and sale of beverages
containing up to IA per cent Sof al
cohol. which will be heavily taxed.
Naturalization of real estate also has
been dropped and individuals are now
permitted to buy houses or land from
the government Having made pretty
much of wreck of the country; Lenin
and Trotzky are gradually receding
from their impossible position

QUIETLY CLEANING UP
CHORES And GETTING READY

chandise are attracting an army of
buyers to the big cities, and more
quick-selling merchandise has been
bought for the fall and winter trade
than ever before.
Even the stocks of gilt-edge securi-
ties are beginning to get low, due
to the purchases Of professional oper-
ators, who are reinvesting their
profits from trading on present fiuc-
tuations of the stock-market.
And as the safest foundation for
material prosperity, our new crops
both grain and cotton, grown on low
cost basis, are securing better prices
than expected.
We are not facing prosperity over
night, by any means, but the country
is quietly cleaning up its chores and
getting ready for 1T. This is the
psychological moment for a great
leader of national influence. Where IS
he? Stocks and securities generally
take the upward swing some six
months in advance of the actual pros
perity start. Those who wait for the
starting gun will not get their stocks
at the low-price levels that make IN
vestments now made sure source
of profit,

TAX REVISION
BILL INTRODUCED

The tax revision bill was introduced
into the house and the fight for its
adoption began promptly under spe-
cial rule which provided for final ac-
ton at three o'clock Saturday after
noon. There was little doubt that the
measure would be passed almost as
reported, but there was chance that
1t might be changed In one important
respect. Just before 1t was introduced
the Republican members Of the house
In caucus ordered that 1t be altered
to provide that repeal Of the excess
profits tax, substitution Of an in
creased corporation tax and reduction
of the higher individual surfaces
should become effective on income Of
the calendar year 1922 instead Of
1921. This was not In accord with
the desires Of the administration,
which believed the party was commit
ted to revision Of the tax laws
which would apply to 1921 income, and
it was thought the action Of the
caucus might be reversed. The Dem
ocratic members of the house also
caucused and voted to fight the tax
bill, declaring In resolution that it
is "subversive Of the principle that
should govern taxation for the sup
port Of this government" and that 1t
relieves prof1teers and taxpayers Of
large incomes from their just share
of the load of taxation and leaves an
unfair portion of the burden to be
borne by the people of moderate
means." Fifty-two Democratic men,
bers did not attend the party caucus.

IRELAND TO STAY
WITHIN EMPIRE

In addressing Dali Eireann. De
Valera declared Lloyd George had t5l
offered to Ireland the status of Il do
minion government, because no Ire
land was mentioned in the terms, only
two broken pieces of Ireland; and be-
cause dominions have the right to
secede, but Ireland must stay within
the empire whether or not it wishes
to do so. Said he: "Only on basis
Of our recognition as an Irish repub-
lie will we deal with any nation or
foreign country whatever. The only
government the people of Ireland rec
ognize Is the ministry of the Dali
Eireann.
He bitterly scored the British gov
eminent, declaring 1t was practically
impossible to negotiate with 1t be-
cause of its lack of principle" and
cited the many Inconsistencies" of
Lloyd George; but the reservations In
his speech, expressed and implied,
seemed to leave the way open for
further negotiations.
Although Lloyd George declared his
offer was the utmost the British gov
eminent could make, 1t is just possible
way may be found to satisfy the
Irish principle of independence. Dub
lin correspondents call attention to
the fact that England already has
practically recognized the existence of
the Irish republic by the dealings of
the premier with De Valera and in
many other minor particulars. There.
fore, they hold, Dali Eireann, instead
Of accepting Lloyd Georges proposals,
might offer the same terms to Great
Britain by treaty as between two
free and Independent nations.
One thing is fairly certain: If the
British offer comes to naught and war
fare Is resumed. the. British govern
ment will start in whole heartedly to
clean up the Emerald Isle" and that
with the practically unanimous sup
port of the people Of the rest of the
empire. All factions in the United
Kingdom now admit that the premier
has made a sincere effort to pacify
iANidbu anu liSlll MlOnSs, IL
he feels compelled to defend the gov
ernments position by force of arms,
his course will be generally justified.
Throughout the world the real friends
of Ireland who have keen watching
her struggle with interest and concern
will regret deeply the irreconcilability
of her leaders. . Already the British
are preparing for possible resump-
ton of hostilities
