Does Desire Create Function?

\ NEW YORK newspaper has talked to fifty
"A successful men to get line on, their thinking
process for more and more beginning to
associate right thinking with success.
One of those interviewed was A. NJ. Andrews,
"a banker, who at 20 is millionaire and yet at I6
he was Chicago newsboy destined by doctors to
live the life of semi-invalid. And he is now in
perfect health.
He said: II have always had an earnest desire
to achieve Turn any way you like, and you will
hnd the same cause and the same result. Desire
creates junction., means perhaps, that nature has
strong inclination to provide means for any end
that is earnestly and honestly sought; we don't
seek much for anything unless we expect to find it.
Think of all the poverty stricken foreigners who
come here. with the huge handicap of ignorance of
the language and of almost everything else to make
money and do make it. We Aatter ourselves that
it is because they live so cheaply-'below the
American standard" The reason they succeed is
mainly that they expect to succeed and accordingly
do succeed.
1t is needless to say that for person merely
to affirm Il going to succeed" and proceed with
out effort is futile. That affirmation must be backed
by good old-fashioned elbow grease to prove its
sincerity

treaty is the law of Europe. IL this government

If Germany pays France Belgium and Italy, they

tanglement impossible to escape.
There is no gallant prince to come to our res
cue, cut away the thorns and release us from the
meshes of the "wait-a-bt bush" that entwines us
with all of Europe Only jointly with our debtors,
we work way out and they must come out
with u.s. Any suggestion of a separate treaty with
Germany, is but to put false hope and added
false stubborpness and unrepentance into the heads
of the German leaders.
Such a peace would not affect the treaty Of
Versailles. That would still be there and would
still bind Germany. Such peace would not give
this government any authority or influence as to the
provisions of that other treaty; it could not change
or modify it in any way. 1t would range this
country alongside of Germany and permanently

fought side by side in the 1t would be both

If the Republican party should undertake such
a peace, deserving associates, the Demo-
Gratis would have their time OF squaring accounts
and if such treaty got the required two-thirds
votes, the Republicans would pay the penalty in
1923 But it is quite useless to consider such sit
uation The two-thirds vote is impossible and the
few who favor separate peace know this. 1t would
require at least five Democrat votes added to the
solid Republican vote 1t could get neither the one
nor the other. The Republican Senators have
shown conclusively that they do not favor it.

SURVEYS IRISH SITUATION.

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:

mating article from the pen Of MI
J. A Strahan. B. L. A paragraph
or two culled from Mr.. Strahan's ar
ticle may be OF interest to The
Washington Herald readers.
In the article referred to he
traces the disturbed history of Ire
land until the Union, describing the
struggles between England and Ire
land. and between the Irish them
selves. Then ne says:

quickly. All religious disabilities
were abolished, the church tithe,
which the Presbyterians hated, fol-
lowed. tenant-right was enforced
against the landlords by statue, and
then the tenants were given the
right to purchase their farms. Now
the Protestants OF Ulster find them
selves perfectly free and perfectly
contented. and Lttached to the peo-
pie of Great Britain, not merely by
tho Union. but by the stronger ties
of q common race and a common re-
1igion. common traditions and COM
mon ideas, while they are separated
from the Catholics Of the South on
every one of these points. That is

anxious to maintain the British COZ

Another form of misrepresenta-

ration in Ulster is inspired by the
landlords and capitalists. Nothing
could be further from the truth. II

Dealing with the religious aspect
Of the case, Mr.. Strahan saws,

papers sometimes say"
Concluding his article, Mr.. .Strahan
says:

With this conclusion of Mr..
Strahan's 90 per cent of Americans
will agree. and perhaps this Is the
reason why the British government
