consequent falling into temptation.
Since the war the Irish have bonn
barded the press and created a gen.
eral racket, and thus far have ap-
accomplished nothing. All
that they have got is a sugar-coated
pill. high-sounding names, free
state" dominion rule" etc. but the
same status as ever. Perhaps it
would be better for every one to
keep hands off that subject. as at
this long range very few Of us are
very familiar with the troubles Of
the Irish people.

"Lives Of Saints" and say his pray
ers for the freedom of Ireland in
stead Of sympathizing with lawless

BIGGER BATHING POOLS NEEDED.

One Of the sad Accomplishments of summer is
the fact that many young lives are lost through
drowning accidents. The invitation of the cool
water is irresistible on sultry day, and caution
often floats away on of happiness, and the
water that is so allurng proves relentless and claims
a victim.
Under any circumstances the tragedy OF
drowning is depressing, but it is especially so when
it occurs where seemingly every precauton has been
taken to prevent such mishaps. and where trained
experts are on guard all the time. II the victim
happen to be swimmer, almost fit to be classed
as an expert, then the event appears almost mex
cusable. Yet these very provisions contributed to
the death of little Pete" Gillette, at Rverview park
The life guards were on duty, the boy could
swim, and yet he was drowned Why! Because the
bathing pool at Rverview is too small to meet the
demands upon it. Between $50 and 200 bathers

The theatrical interests reported to have unsuc-

was elected president Of the American Construction

cated building industries Of the country.
In each Of these instances the purpose is to clean

It Is not . matter empty Of significance that bust

out Of their difficulties. These arbters or dctators
through years Of public service have won the esteem
Of large numbers Of people. In way they represent
the idea that the purpose of this nation was not the
amassng of wealth but the benefit Of the citizens,
both as producers and consumers. This theory by
which business is considered not as an end but a
means, to be run for the good that is in it rather
than entirely for the profit is taking hold Of the ma
tional mind.

HIGH PLACE AWAITS GREEN.

Joseph W. Fordney of Michigan, chairman of the
house committee on ways and means, has just an
nounced that he will not be candidate for reelec-
ton. He will retire at the close Of his present term,
after service Of twenty -four years in congress- The
interest locally in this fact is that the retirement of
Mr.. Fordney will bring William Raymond Green of
Council Bluffs into the spotlight. He is the ranking
republican member of the committee, and, if the
republicans retain control of the house. will by right
of seniority become chairman of the most important
of all it's committees This will bring further dis
tinction to add to the already long list Iowa has
achieved by of the service Of its senators and
representatives in the congress- Mr. Green has been
member Of the ways and means committee for
many years, and knows the history of the revenue
laws of the land from the first The prospect Of his
elevation to the craftsmanship of the committee and
therefore to place of control in all revenue legisa
ton, must be gratifying to his constituents.

AMERICAS AID TO HAITI.

Hectic discussion of the situation in Haiti and
San Domingo was handed severe jolt by the senate
special committee on Monday. This body has spent
many weeks inquiring into the POLITICAL social and
economic affairs of the island, and has made partcu
lar effort to ascertain the effect Of the presence there
of the United States forces. 1t finds:
In brief under the treaty (between Haiti and
the United States), the peace of the republic. the
solvency of its government, and the security Of
its people have been established for the first time
for many years.
The report contains a recommendation that re-
duced force of marines be kept in the island to
order and uphold the until peace is fully
established. Mistakes are admitted, but the con-
clusion is that American Intervention has been Of
constructive service to the two black republics.
This is perfect answer to the propaganda of the
critics.

BRINGING ORDER TO IRELAND.

Processes Of order are being supported in Dublin
by the severest of measures. Regrettabe as II may
appear to any thinking person, recalcitrant
have set themselves up to defy the constituted
provisional government This government is justify.
ing its right to the confidence and support Of the
Irish people by moving sternly and vigorously to es-
tablish its authority.
Self-government has been and Is being put to an
intensive test in Ireland. All the extraneous ele-
ments Of religious and political differences may be
omitted from present discussion, although it Is diff
ficut entirely to overlook them, as they are at the
root of much Of the disorder The great outstanding
fact is that concrete program was put before the
people of south Ireland and by their votes they de-
cided on plan for action; to carry this plan into
effect parliament chosen, and under this the
government Of the Irish Free State is to be set up.
Extremists Of the so-caled republican" party
have resisted to the utmost, and force has been en-
ployed to disodge them from buildings in which
they were entrenched. So far as this operation is
concerned its end was in sight from the beginning;
the governments forces Of victory, al
though the ultimate settlement may be delayed for
weeks
What must impress the American beholder is the
fact that the provisional government has ceased to
temporze with the opposition 1t is not north against
south Ireland, Orangeman against Catholic, but
the representatives of majority against faction
of the people Of south Ireland. Rory O'Connor is
perhaps devoted any to the of Irish free
dom; his advocacy of the republic has been proven
to the very limit, but his final defiance directed
against the people of Ireland, and not the crown
of England. There was his mistake.
Order will be restored in Ireland for the crimes
that have stained the land during the last few months
can not long be endured, will they ever
cectually serve in assisting the erection of free
government. Only despotism possibly can rest on
assassination, while bloody reprsas settle no issues
With peace will come prosperity The dream of
republic will never die, and perhaps may in time
come true, and the Free State is long step along
the road. That the government is strong enough to
defend itself against armed rebels is good omen.

AGE AND THE TOWN.

Did you ever shed figuratve tear for the town
that has grown old-or the part of city that has
grown old?
Human beings grow old and feeble, decrepit and
forgetful So do towns and neighborhoods grow old
and dapidated, ugly and useless The man or woman,
as long as mind remains, still finds pleasure in
memories of days gone BY still is able to direct the
mind to thoughts of happy days, still retains thereby
a degree Of comfort independent of the immediate
and present surroundings The town that is worn
out has no such recompense.
neighborhood grown old is scene Of tumble
down shacks, of implanted boards, Of crumbling
bricks There are no new buildings; repairs cause
wild excitement Everybody passes it BY save those
few whom necessity forces to tarry in it. Laughter
goes. Drab cheerlessness remains.
There are many such towns in the eastern states
Some there are in Nebraska. There are such neigh
borhoods in every city. There will be more. Some
times these towns "come back" Sometimes turn OF
population trend brings people with new ambi-
tions. Then old buildings torn down and new
ones reared.
That is the one chance the old town has which
human beings miss. The old town may live in hopes;
there is one chance in many that it will be reborn

Three "Bunis. {"

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer,
three tFamps on Wabash
freight train, the train rumbles at
midnight through the little town OF
Hement. III, The hoboes notice that
there Is house on FIRE; their busi-
ness Is not pressing, they tumble
on the train 10 investigate. No one
else Is awake In Bement,
In the house are a father and a
mother and "A little child. The
tramps do not know who Is inside,
but they deem II a good time for
precipitate action. They break
down a door. awaken the imperiied
householders and lead them TO
safety. As the home smolders 10
charred ruins another freight train
comes rumbling through Bement.
and when the people look for the
tramps there are no tramps.
II was all merely an episode In
the life OF the three wanderers.
There was nothing the grateful vii.
mee could do for them, Confirmed
buns" they were. The merry life
OF the bumpers and the blind bag
gage" was the life for them. Prob.
ably they considered IL rare good
luck that another freight came
along just when It did. Otherwise
they might have had to stay In Be-
ment. and that would have been bad
medicine.
You never can tell about human
impulses. you cannot with safety
predict Just when and where nobil-
ity will be disclosed. Perhaps nine
out Of ten tramps would have stuck
TO their itinerary and let all Bement
burn. Bement was blessed by the |
advent Of three hoboes
whose hearts were not all dross. II |
was quaint. odd. whimsical: this in
terposition Of society's outcasts.
But 1t Is safe to assume that some
of the people Of Bement will here
after be less inclined to set the dogs
on every stray vagabond who
chances to drop or at the water
.ank.
From hoboes to heroes and back
again In one short night; there's a
spicy variety Of life!
