ENEMIES OF IRELAND
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
The Friends of Irish Freedom will
prove themselves worthy of their
name II they succeed in suppress
ing the soap box Irish republican
orators.
The belief that De Valera Is on
his way to this country has inspired
these agitators to fresh efforts to
enable one set OF Irishmen to buy
guns with which to kill another set
OF Irishmen.
ut the real friends OF ireland are
determined they shall not succeed.
The vast majority OF Irishmen in
America. or Americans OF Irish
stock, recognize that ireland by an
overwhelming majority has accepted
the Free State settlement. They
would not disregard her decision or
upset her peace. They see in the
acceptance of England's terms the
first opportunity for Irish freedom in
more than seven hundred years and
they earnestly hope that the new
Free State Will soon suppress instir-
rection and restore order.
The soap box agitators will little
affect the minds OF level headed
Irishmen in this country. but mar
plots and mischief makers are al
ways unweicome. and no doubt of
the American attitude should be al
lowed TO survive.

PORTER j. McCUMBER's LATEST

From the New York Herald.
Perhaps the newspapers that are

the Congress at that time would not

lean people who did not vote for

McCumber, the disappointed, dis
gruntled queruious man rejected by
his own State. why they did not
vote for Mr.. Taft.
Congress in general doesn't take
McCumber so seriously, and the
Senate IN particular doesn't take
McCumber so seriously. Nobody in
the Senate. where he IS familiar
but not striking figure. takes very
much stock in McCumber for any
thing he says or does. Nobody IN

Senator McCumber never did much

(From the New York Tribune).

On August 10, 1920. Secretary OF
State Colby, in a long note to Am
bassador Avezzano OF Italy, defined
the attitude of the Wilson Admin
istration toward Russia
In essence II was that the Soviet
government would not be recog-
nized nor would recognition be ac-
corded to the new Baltic States
whose territories formerly were
under the dominion OF the Gear.
Secretary Colby and his chief were
OF the opinion that somehow Russia
would be geographically reconsti-
tuted. So they turned deaf ear TO
the appeals OF Esthonia. Latvia and
Lithuania, though the Soviet gov
eminent had itself recognized their
separation and their independence
Secretary Hughes, for various
practical reasons. among them a
desire 10 give as much continuity
as he could to American foreign
policy. has avoided expressly re-

LOCAL LADY IS

She Tells How Her Husband
Was Restored To Health
BY Plant Juice
NO DISTRESS NOW
NO DISTRESS NOW
AFTER HIS MEALS

"I want to tell you of the Won
derful results my husband derived
from Plant Juice" said Mrs. George
T Cantler. a. well-known and pop
ular wilmington lady, residing at
1924 East Twenty-second street. in
a recent conversation at the Miller
dru9 store. 4O4-406 Market street.
MY husband had been great
sufferer from gastritis for years and
none of the many medicines he tried
would reach his case. He had no
appetite and the smallest amount
NJ food would cause terrible misery
from gas and bloating. He had
had attacks OF nausea and heartburn
and awful pains around his heart
and could hardly get his breath at
times. He was always constipated
and had headaches constantly and
was so nervous that he could never
sleep right.
HE got awfully discouraged, for
he thought he never would be any
better, and had been disappointed
by medicines so many times that he
had little faith in Plant Juice when
he started taking Il. SinceNmy hus-
band has taken Plant Juice for
several weeks you would hardly
know he was the same man. His
appetite is good now and he has no
more distress after eating. He does
not suffer from pain or headache,
sleeps fine at night and is never con-
stipated now. HIS Is putting on
weight and looks strong and
healthy"
People who take Plant Juice say
this remedy seems TO act like magic
in cases OF stomach trouble, gas,
fermentation of food, pain and agony
from bloating. biliousness, head
aches and the like. The medicinal
plant juices in the remedy seem TO
be Just what a weak. disordered
stomach needs.

The railroads confirmed this an

pledged themselves that should

And the railroads pledged them

Advances of'1O to IS per cent. for
laborers have been paid recently by
some OF the smaller steel companies
eager for business. Many are rum

Congress in the emergency law
hastily adopted a year ago decided
to restrict immigration TO 3 per
cent. of the foreign population Of
each country represented among our
inhabitants in 1910. Because OF the
large number who left America last
year the restriction was far more
drastic than the legislators planned.
A 8 per cent. net gain would have
added 1890 to the number here.
Actually those added numbered
ESQ, 900 in 1921. Some nations did
not send the number allotted. 9th
ers would have replaced these II the
law permitted. In the pre-war years
the additions to the foreign popula-
ton reached as high az $1,000 in
1910 and SIS. 900 in 1913.

To reduce this supply OF unskilled

Price imitation accompanied it wher

Psychology Of movies is that the

a member OF Wilmington audience

one OF the leading characters. Flo
ton, the same way.

their audiences.

1.-THE first step In reforming the
movies rs reforming the audiences.
Men who try this usually go crazy
or cynical.
The New York American makes
the following comment upon Senator
Myers, whose recent attacks upon
the motion picture have aroused in
dignation:
Senator Myers seems TO be one Of
those reformers who emphasize, in
social progress. the factor OF sup
preston. Given a free hand, he is
OF the type who would sterilize the
moving pictures without establish
ing creative substitutes. There Is
always life in things that develop
freely, although there Is also evil in
them. The problem is to eliminate
or reduce the evil without destroy
ing the life.
Whatever censorship OF the mo-
ton pictures is necessary should be
done by producsrs themselves and
30 other persons sensitive TO their
vitality and not by those who think
they can bring about a good society
by suppressing everything that has
life in II.
Better a little creativeness than
an infinite amount OF suppression"
