RELIEF IN SIGHT?

If a settlement of the Irish question
is made that will be reasonably salts
factory to both sides it will be one
great relief not only to them, but to
the people of the United States as
we'll
Our country today is practically
divided into two camps on the SUD-
iect-a minority of ardent champions
of the Irish cause, and a majority VINO
believe in letting countries on the
other side Of the water manage their
own affairs without interference from
us.
It is a source of uneasiness to many
professional politicians, who want to
keep in the good graces OF their
Irish constituents, yet fear to ALLEVIATE
the support of those in the other
camp. It keeps them wiggling and
souirming in an attempt to say some
thing and yet at the same time say
nothing.
We have had one great division OF
principle in this country. We DO not
want another.
| The Irish question can not be
amicably adjusted any too soon to
suit our Uncle Samuel.

THE PRESIDENTIAL VETOES

Congress appropriates the money
necessary for conducting the affairs
of the government Of the United
States. That money comes from the
pockets of the people.
The president has the right to veto
an appropriation bill as whole, but
he can not veto an Objectionable item
of expenditure in that bill and yet
approve the remainder.
Presidents are often called upon to
approve appropriation bills that con-
tain items of expenditure that are
very obnoxious to a great class of the
people, items which they consider
prejudicial to the welfare of the
country as a whole, that serve but
little purpose, and that are forced into
the bill at the last minute upon de-
mand of some powerful politician
who has an axe to grind.
If the president disapproves the
bill because of the one Objectionable
item he jeopardizes the affairs OF
government, for without funds the
government can not function.
On the other hand, if he approves
any portion of the bill he must ap-
prove all of it, including the obJec-
tionable feature.
While we are changing our budget
system we should advance even tar
Their and expand the veto prerogatlve
The president should not be held
personally responsible for conditions
that are above and beyond his con-
troll.

and the pure country air that he
breathes. His life is not menaced by
the constant stream of cars driven by
reckless motorists, as is the case in
most cities. His children grow to
maturity in the purity of contact with
nature, instead of being surrounded by
the questionable environment of more
coagested centers, where there is lit
tie opportunity to sift the good from
the bad. He is free to go and come as
he desires and is not hedged around
with the myriads of restrictions and
Jaws Of the city man.
Filling the soil is popular now
1t will become more so as time
goes on and the beauties and advan-
tages of nature are better known and
understood by those who now live by
a clock and the factory whistle.

Everything is very dry and hot at

sufficient rains to insure an average

did not resemble our native cows very
much, but looked as if he might be a
cross between the wild cow and the
buffalo or yak.
These rodeos are attended by many
people. some coming from adjoining

show for the average eastern person.

FIREMEN IN CHARGE OF AUTO
PARKING

Members of the city volunteer ire
department are now in charge OF auto
parking on wildwood and Oak avenues
each evening from Z to II o'clock.
This is done as a precautionary mea-
sure at the request of Mayor w. Court
right Smith, both as a police and a
fire protection. By having flremen on
the job, all being sworn in as special
officers, they can have cars placed
where they think best, thus being able
to park cars closer and make more
room, keep them from fire plugs and
not allow congestion, which is a fire
menace especially in these two streets
where auto parking is prevalent.
There is no charge made by the
fremen, but any amount contributed
goes to a fund which will be equally
divided at the end of the season.
Enough men are on hand each night
to watch the cars and every effort is
made to see that nothing is lost from
cars and no cars stolen.

PRESDENT-ELECT
PLAYS GOOD GOLF
Mr.. Harding Reveals Himself on
Florida Links as Far From
Being Ouffer.

ORMOND BEACH. Fla. Feb. 10
Whatever merits or demerits of the
game of golf played by President
elect Harding, it may be said with
safety that it's better than any here
tofore shown by a national Execu-
tive. It's a good deal better, too,
than most men of Senator Harding
age play.
Mr. Harding is a robust man and ne
hits a pretty long ball. He and Sem
ator Edge were paired against former
Ambassador Fletcher and DR.. Albert
Ely of New York on the Sea Breeze
links Tuesday, and Messrs Harding
and Edge won. The President-elect
made the eighteen holes in 1O1, 81
out and so in; and being a 100 per
cent human being, he was much
pleased thereat, and also much pleased
when a member of the gallery who
saw him at Pinehurst last winter told
him his golf had improved remark
ably since then.
The Sea Breeze course is 6,l21
yards long, bogey is 70 and par Il.
and Mr.. Harding's card, with the dis
tances for the holes, was as follows:
