WORKMEN WANTED

A contracting firm in San Bernardino, Cal,
wired to a New York paper few days ago: "Cal-
iforna is in need of 5000 to 10000 bricklayers,
pasterers and carpenters. Please send men of
these trades to take care Of the building boom
which is on this winter"
1t has long been said by men conversant with
general conditions that when the business revival
really began, a building boom would come first.
Here is definite evidence Of the start If the Pac-
life Coast, which was recently in the doldrums, is
obliged to beg workmen from the East it is in
deed to be envied by less fortunate sections.
1t would be unwise, though, to start any wild
rush Of workmen to California. Building shows
pretty healthful signs Of revival elsewhere, too
The South will need lot of builders this winter
and northern communities where construction is
seriously held back by cold weather will need them
in the spring.

SURE CONVICTION

In Alabama they tell of a prosecut-
ing attorney who was so uniformly
successful with his cases that he be-
came the terror of both evil-doers in
his vicinity and the admiration of
all, especially the dusky portion of
the population.
Upon his withdrawal from office he
was at once sought out by those
charged with crime. Much to his dis
gust the first two cases that he de-
Tended resulted in the conviction Of
his clients. An aged darby, who had
watched his prosecutions with wonder
and who looked with equal amaze
ment how he conducted the defense,
met the attorney just after his second
defeat.
"Mistuh Cal" said the old chap, in
awed tones, "you show is a wonder.
No matter which side you is on they
goes to the pen jest the same"

IRISH HOUSE OF LOPDe


The Irish House Of Lords. obedient
to the behest of Pitt, voted to ami
hilate itself when it passed the Act
of Union on New Years day 1901.
In consideration of this favor to him.
Pitt conferred upon the Irish peerage,
at that time numbering more than a
hundred members, the right to elect
twenty EIGHT of their number to sit
as life members of the British House
of Lords. And there twenty-eight of
them sit today. One Of them is the
distinguished Lord Cruzon of Kedles-
ton, Lloyd Georges foreign minister
The ratification of the treaty be-
tween the British and Irish delegates
renders the status of the lords uncer-
tain. Lord Cruzon's seat is safe as
he is, in addition to being an Irish
lord, a peer Of the United Kingdom.
The other twenty-seven seats may
soon become vacant.
The incurable romanticism of the
Celt which has led the recussitation
of a dying language may also lead
to the restoration of the defunct Irish
House Of Lords. True, none of the
other dominions possesses hereditary
upper chambers. None of the others,
however, is blessed with The avail
able material. Only the Irish Free
State has an ancient peerage ready
made
A further concession to precedent
may be made and an invitation ex-
tended to the four archbishops and
twenty-four bishops of the Roman
Catholic Church in Ireland 70 become
Lords spiritual in the new second
chamber. In this case, the world
might some day be entertained with
a debate between Cardinal Logue, the |
Pope's chief representative in Ireland. |
and Lord Dunsany, eighteenth of
line of Plunketts holding the title of
baron, on whether the image of Rob
ert Emmett or King Brian Boru
should appear on the gold coin of |
The Irish Free State.
Only the category of upper house
material remains to be considered

REFORM

We were very sorry to hear of the
turnout at Vernon on Sunday morn
ing. 1t sure looks bad to see so much
destroyed. 1t burned between 2 and
3 o'clock. The people of Vernon can't
hardly believe that any one set it
afre. They don't believe they have
enemies that would do anything like
that. We hope no one would do such
damage. Among the buildings that
burned were Cobb and Cobb's store,
Lewis store, the postoffice, and a
barber shop. The printing office and
Mr. Brooks shop. Mrs. Luke Harris
dwelling house. BY hard work they
saved several others from burning up.
They have began to build some Of
the buildings back all ready. We
hope they win get along with the
work fine.

EXPENSIVE BUT COLD

I'VE wish you to look pretty and warm, not
expensive and cold" With these words Dart
mouth college men conclude their annual invita-
ton to their young women friends to attend the
winter sports which are an annual feature in their
college life.
The letter advocates wooden mittens and stock
ings, high overshoes or boots and warm head COW
erings. I'VE you at the last carnival" it chides
gently, stand in the snow in pumps, silk stock
ings and a fur coat. We were sorry-and you did
not look as happy as you tried TO- So remember
that there will be snow, that you will have to
stand in it, and that it will be cold
The girls who go to the Dartmouth frolics are
not the only ones who need to be reminded that
TO look Expensive is not necessarily to look
either pretty or well dressed. A host of foolish
virgins on every hand are making the same mis-
take daily in every community. 1t is too bad the
wholesome counsel of the Dartmouth men cannot
reach this larger audience

THE LAW OF THE SEA

The captain of a transatlantic liner has got
into trouble because he refused to stop and pick
up three men, helpless in leaky dory, several
miles off the New Jersey shore. 1t was at day
break and the three had been laundering all
night on rough sea.
The captain explained that he could not stop
because he was carrying mail. 1t is generally
agreed that if there are any mail regulations
that interfere with such an act of mercy, they
ought to be ignored The law of life is paramount,
Recognition Of that law has always been one of
the chief glores of the sea. 1t was the ruthless
disregard of it by the Germans during the late
war that brought the U-boats into universal
oboquy.
By land, in war or peace, we do not hold life so
sacred The Levite who passes by on the other
side seldom chooses a sea lane for it; he does it
ashore

HAPPINESS

Where may happiness be found? Humanity has
broken its heart and worn out its life by seeking
far and wide for the answer to the question
Wealth honor, power, fame, and all the long list
Of things have only dazzled for awhile. and left
the seeker a hand full Of bitter ashes. Witness:
All mankind from Alexander the greatest. to
Alexander, the least
The fact is, happiness does not depend upon
doing, but upon being It is not so much what YOU
have as what you are. Il is not a matter of what
is around YOU, but what is in you. 1t is not a
question of environment it is one of character.
The Kingdom of Heaven is not a far-of thing TO
be chased and captured. 1t is Just within us. a
thing to be accepted and assmiated into our
every day life.

GIANTS FAIL TO
HIT IN PINCHES
10000 Fans See Pete DonO-
hue and Reds Win,
5 to 1.

SrscioJ Dispaton TO THE Nrw YORK HERALD.
CINCINNATI. May 2l.--Hitting the ball
hard in spots but helpless before Pete
Donohue when hits meant runs, the
Giants were bowled over by the Reds
to-day by a score of to in the open
ing game, OF the series. While Donohue
was keeping the Giant attack broken
up the Reds were pounding Jess Barnes's
offerings. Furthermore, the Giants
flelded poorly and their errors aided the
Reds in scoring. A crowd Of $4,000 at
tended.
Before the game several huge floral
pieces were presented to Heinie Groh,
making his first appearance here in a
Giant uniform. Later on Heinie's ad-
mirers were drowned out in chorus Of
boots which greeted him when he
stepped to the plate or fielded or at
tempted to field hard hit balls.
The Reds lost no time getting to
Barnes and ran UP two run lead In
the first inning. Thereafter they never
were headed. and as the Giants could
make only one run off Donohue those
two runs in the opening inning really
decided the game in Cincinnatfs favor
Burns Finally Scored.
Burns led off with a single to left and
went to third when Daubert singled to
center. Burns remained at third when
Duncan drove short fly to Young.
Young's throw to the plate took a bad
hop over Smiths head. at which Dau-
bert raced to second. Barnes backed
up the play and got the ball back before
Burns could start for the plate.
Bohne hit to Bancroft, whose throw
to Smith had Burns beaten at the plate,
but Burns slid around Smith and was
declared safe. This caused the Giants
to kick vigorously to Umpire McCor-
mick. At length they subsidized and the
game was resumed. Harper hit to
Kelly, who cut Bohne down at second
with throw to Bancroft Banny could
not get the pellet back to Kelly in time
to double up Harper. and Daubert scored.
The Giants had chance to score
in the second inning, but Donohue tight
ened up before they could take advan-
tage of It. Young, who was first at
bat, singled to left. Meusel raised a
fly to Duncan, but Kelly raped a single
to left. The fleet footed Young went
to third on this hit and Kelly went to
second when Duncan threw to third Cum
ningham and Smith were no good in
the Pinch, for Cunningham hit the ball
in front of the plate and was thrown
out by Hargrave and Smith was easy
for Caveney and Daubert
Once more, in the fifth inning. the
Giants had a golden opportunity at hand
to get to Donohue for a batch OF runs,
but again they failed. so that they
made only one run out OF three bag
ger, a passed ball. a base on balls and
two singles.
The score:
