Maurice Hewlett is as good a liberal
as H. G. Wells, but revolts violently
from the Wellsian millennium. In his
new book on the Washington confer
ence Mr.. Wells sees the millennium as
"a world wide net of fine roads. great.
steady trains on renewed. broader
tracks; long-distance aeroplane flights
Of the secureet sort, great and beauti-
full towns, a parklike countryside stud
ded with delightful homes"
For Maurice Hewlett a mechanics g
millennium has no charms. His soul
is not satisfied with motor transport
or parlor cars, neither de1ighteth 1t In
any mans telephones. "It thrives In
contemplation, in retirement. In medi-
tation, or collection, tranquility; mo-
tor transport puts it out"
He may overstate his case in saying
that ''The happiest nations have al.
ways been the poorest nations" and
0nmark, Holland and Switzerland,
which ha cites, are not at present
poor as present day Europe goes. But
he is emphatically right in holding
that the road to happiness does not
lie through wealth or mechanical in-
vention. People or nations that post
poHe happiness till the millennium
are likely to lose it altogether. There
is wholesome truth, too, in his conclu-
sion that 'It is much better for US to
want things than to have them. Per-
haps even the strenuous H. G. Wells
would be disappointed in hfS millen-
MUM If he actually had it."-Spring-
field Republican independently.

Myth and Reality.

Myth and Reality.
Though Cupid is displayed with grace
Upon the valentines.
Where I admire his dimpled face
And read his Hitting lines,
I do not think he should enjoy
Such praise, since he's a shirk.
The letter carrier is the boy
Who does the real work.
While Cupid claims our smiling sweet,
A herald Of true bliss.
Tho one who trudges through the
street
And never proves remiss,
The real messenger who brings
Kind thoughts. our hearts to warm,
Employs his feet, instead of wings,
And wears a uniform.

that it is an intoxicant may bring up

The Place to Find Ont.

The suggestion that perhaps after
all America will find no way OF being
represented at Genoa strikes Us as
particularly unhappy. She will be
needed there. She belongs there. 1t is,
indeed. q little difficult to think OF q
useful conference without her.
For this is to be a meeting OF .
sbusinesslike rather than q political
character. 1t will have to do with
finance and funds. with loans and
liabilities, with the judicious balanc-
ing Of accounts. Now, all these peo-
pies owe money to the United States,
and there Is none amcng them, not
even England, which does not find the
burden oppressive and has not to con-
slider the crushing handicap of . cur
rency more or less deprecated. There
are some who advance that condition as
a reason for staying aloof. Let US wait,
they advise, until the countries are
back to normal.
But surely that Is an impossible pro-
posal and q cold-blooded one besides.
There is no way, moreover. In which
we can consider our own interests
save by considering theirs. To be sell
fish Is not to be grasping, and We
must be careful, if grasp we do, that
it is substance and not shadow.

COLLINS ASKS J. $. NOT TO RECOGNIZE
 DEvAlERA COUP
PRESIDENT WANTS IRISH AMERl CANS TO HELP REcoGNI-
 TON OF NEW REPUBLIC

LONDON, Feb. 15.-Dispatches re- ceived here today say that Michaeal Collins. provincial president of the Irish Free State has written to the Irish-American Association asking for recognition of the Irish republic.
 Collins has asked the friends of Ire land in the United States to not assist or in any manner courtenance the coup which he says IS being planned against the provincial government by the Devalera forces.
 The policy of the English govern ment will be not to interfere in the fac tional trouble in south Ireland It is a matter they will have to settle among themselves. The opposition of the ultra-radical type, followers of De valera, threaten the life of the new Commonwealth. If this opposition is successful and the government created under the Anglo-Irish treaty fails then the British government will be forced to again take hand in the Irish af- fairs. At present the provincial gov ernment is being strengthened in fla vor of the Irish people because it is not leaning on the support of England. Tt may for that reason win out against Devalera. Friends of Ireland hope that it will. Its success is the only hope for the settlement of the Irish question.
 Small demonstrations following the big one in Dublin recently are being carried out by Devalera forces thru out Ireland in the. attempt to infu- ence the Irish people. The govern ment is helpless to prevent the, dem onstrations and likewise to auell the general disorders and defiance of au- thority that exists in the, country dis tricts.

 TRe Premier has not stated what ac- tion would be taken to secure the re- lease of the imprisoned Unionists. The government cannot afford to risk fur ther violence by turning loose men now under arrest who are suspected of taking part in recent disorders.
 The seriousness of the charges against the imprisoned players is dem- onstrated by action of snipers in Bel fast today. The work of the snipers is a serious menace to life. The death roll since Saturday has increased to IS and the number of wounded is esti- mated at fifty.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 15.-George w.

He said they were either trying to control the dis count rate or alter the composition of the Federal Reserve Board for their own selfish purposes.
 The Federal Reserve System was de- signed to take the control of the mon ev market from the clique of bankers in New York City and by furnishing channel for money to be moved from one section to another to equallze dls- count rates and prevent panic. 50 far the administration of the Board al though being a governmental board has been free of political and sinister influence. If selfish interests succeed in gaining control of the Board instead of being great good it may become menace to the country.
