Common Sense in Ireland.

= Good sense and courage have been displayed
by the northern parliament of Ireland in agree
ing to take hold of the old vexatious problem
resulting from religious differences. Here
after the special police in Belfact are to be
composed half of Catholics and half of Protest
ants, the Catholic members to be named by an
advisory committee of citizens composed of
Catholics. Irish army activities to cease
in the six northern counties, and the soldiers
are to be replaced by policemen. The northern
and the southern government will arrange for
the release of political prisoners, and have
joined in an appeal to all concerned to refrain
from inflammatory speeches and acts likely to
disrupt peace. special committee is set up
in Belfast composed OF Catholics and Protest
ants of equal number to investigate complaints
of intimidation and outrages. Thus the con-
stituted authorities have formally recognized
the differences that have led to head breaking,
shootings and arson and have done their best
to compose these differences.
Because both sects are to be represented in
equal numbers the police force there will be
no longer grounds that arrests are only dis
guised prosecutions Although it will take time
for these ancient prejudices growing out of re-
ligious differences to subside completely moth
ing is more certain than that they will dis
appear. There is increasing reason for belief
that the north and south of Ireland will work
together for peaceful and prosperous coun-
ty. The only menace to peace in Ireland today
is the division of sentiment in the south over
the question of free state or republic The task
of Michael Collins, head of the provisional
government of south Ireland, is to deal with
mutinous soldiers who declare their purpose of
following De Valera rather than the recog-
nized government authorities.
The Rock Island Argus and daily union. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1920-1923, 1922-04-06

Kate Richards O'Hare was sent TO prison
during the war for violation of the espionage
act The war is over, Kate is free, and she is
still talking. During and Immediately after the
war Kate was prevented by the civic author
titles from holding meetings in some cities. The
other evening she held public meeting in the
assembly chamber of the state capitol at Mad
ison. Wis. So do times change There Is the
time for free speech and the time to prevent it
When Kate was trying to arouse enarchy at
time when ennotionalism was rampant and
people were prone to go to one extreme or the
other. she was silenced. But the crisis is past
and the woman now will be permitted to talk
herself TO death, if she chooses. The governor
OF Wisconsin doubtless 10 adhering to the
theory that Tadicalism Of the O'Hare type

Man Isn't Logical.

There outstanding issues between
the two great political parties" says S. G.
Blythe in the Saturday Evening Post. with
the Republican party in power republicanism
means nothing but Republican opportunism
and with the Democrats in power democracy
means Democratic opportunism." Therefore
he would bury the old parties and get new ones
that stand for something That sort of argu-
ment sounds plausible. Always has. Partic-
ularly in 1912. We made it ourselves 1t was
all true. There was nothing wrong with the
logic. The only thing wrong is that man isn't
a logical animal. II he had been the Progress
sive party would have been swept into power
by an overwhelming majority and the enthus-
iastic delegates to the Progressive convention
from Texas and Louisiana and Georgia would
have been justified in their predictions that
those states would go for Roosevelt Maybe
some day third party movement is going to
carry everything before it But Mr. Blythe
ought not to set the date too soon. People might
remember il on him

Warning On Shutters.

Social welfare workers and school author
tiles in eastern cities have been exercised re-
Gently by the growth of a society called the
Shutters. The right of any member to initiate
a new candidate by demanding any fee he or
she can obtain, and by providing the neophyte
with a paper slip as badge has facilitated the
extension of the society. New York high school
pupils are so per cent Shifter. it is claimed 1t
is gratifying to see lethargic public bestir-
ring itself to overcome the evil influences of
the Shutters. 1t is not that a temporary craze
among high school boys and girls, shop girls
and young clerks is likely to work any serious
harm, even with full allowance for the practice
of promiscuous kissing. This phase will
quickly disappear. That it exists at all prob
ably is due largely to the desire of youth to
shock its elders Nevertheless, there always
have been, and probably always will be shutters
OF more dangerous and persistent order. II
public attention is once focused upon the sub
jet of shifting, who can say that here will not
come of it an effort to apprise all of the shift
ers, Of whatever brand, that public opinion does
not sanction their conduct Shutters in politics
first of all One thinks Immediately OF local
party machines that probably indorse a good
piece OF work, and then quietly set about to
shelve the men who did it. One thinks of state
in tax rates, which they later effect by in
creasing the base upon which the rate is APP
piled. One thinks OF congress itself, which
makes capital Of its jealous economies, totaling
which speaks one day of developing
foreign trade and an American marine by ship
subsidy. and the next day drafts tariff act de-
signed to throttle that same trade, and to de-
prive the ships Of cargoes. Yes. let US have a

The Fool and His Money.

The old adage that fool and his money are
soon parted holds everlastingly good The world
is filled with brainless worshippers of Nam
mon, who. ardently desiring wealth and what
wealth can buy, want, above all things, to get
rich quick. Chasers of every south sea bubble
they are easy marks for the smooth talker and
ready promoter and fall willing victims to the
species prospectus with its enhancing lure. In
all such cases the law can be, and often is,
invoked. but that usually happens after the
mischief has been done 1t is probable enough
that the millennium will have arrived before the
two classes of individuals. the bitten and the
biters, will have learned the lesson applicable
to each respectively, that the only way to make
money is to work and the only safe way is by
honesty.

ana prime classes, and more than half OF ali
the cateIe offered graded as medium Without
question part OF this deficiency Was due to the
way In which these animals were fed. but =
greater part was due to carelessness and neg
Iect in breeding. OF the two deficiencies the
one due to careless breeding is much more
easily and cheapiy remedied than the one due
to faulty methods Of feeding.
The low grade Of our live stock is further
apparent when we realize that the production
Of the average COW kept for dairy purposes is
100 pounds Of butter fat year. By the use OF
purebred dairy sires on scrub cows at the Iowa
state college the first cross heifers produced an
average Of 1o4 pounds more butter fat a year
than their mothers when both were fed alike
and given similar care. The average hen lays
only about so or so eggs year. mostly in sea-
sons when eggs are cheap The Kansas state
agricultural college more than doubled the
productions OF a mongrel flock In two genera
tons by the use of highly bred cocks. The
Kentucky experiment station increased the
value of lambs from scrub ewes in the first
generation by $1-50 each by the use OF purebred
rams. II costs little more to breed these high
producing animals than those Of low grade. 1t
costs less to fit them suitably for market, and
they always bring more than those of careless
breeding The narrower the margin OF profit
in producing farm animals, the more import
ant it is that animals possessing superior quail
ties be bred The way out of the present diff
culties lies, in considerable part. in producing
better animals and giving them more intelli>
gent care.

Improving Our Live Stock.

1t Is claimed there are few farm animals left
In the United States that have not had the
benefit OF some Improvement In breeding. On
the whole we have taken long steps toward the
grading up Of our farm stock But a survey OF
the situation will convince anyone that the
average grade Of American hive stock La lament
ably low. Only fraction of per cent of our
animals are purebred. and. unfortunately in
most cases only small per cent of the sires
used are Of this class. The United States de-
partment OF agriculture kept record for a
year OF the cattle sent to Chicago for slaughter
and found that only III Per cent graded prime.
