Enemies Of Ireland

The Friends Of Irish Freedom viii
prove themselves worthy Of their
name if they succeed in suppress
ing tho soap box Irish republican
orators.
The belief that De Valera is on
his way to this country has inspired
these agitators to fresh efforts 70
collect funds which will be spent to
enable one set Of Irishmon to buy
guns with which to kill another set
Of Irishmon.
But the real friends Of Ireland
are determined they shall not sue
coed. The vast majority Of Irish
men 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 de-
cision on upset her peace. They
see in the acceptance Of England's
terms the first opportunity for Irish
freedom in more than seven hun
dred years and they earnestly hope
that the new Free State viii soon
suppress Instruction and restore
order.
The soap box agitators will little
affect the minds Of level headed
lrishmen in this country, but mar
plots and mischief makers are al
ways unwelcome, and no doubt Of
the American attitude should be al
lowed 20 survive.

Cutting Out Crossings

An important step i'm the elimina-
tion Of grade crossings has been
taken by the Long Island Railroad,
which has voted the necessary funds
to carry a portion Of the main line
between Jamaica and Queens upon
an embankmcnt. In this way five
cross streets viii be bridged, includ-
ing the Jamaica and Hampstead
Turnpike, over which passes O large
amount Of motor traffic. Worl, IS %
commence in the fall, and viii cost
about sl,5OO,OOO. OF this amount
the railroad furnishes two-thirds
and the city and state, jointly, the
other third.
The grade crossings over the main
line in the neighborhood Of Jamaica.
Queens and Valley Stream are well
guarded. But so many trains pass
per hour and such a flood Of mctl,s
seek 20 cross that there is constant
delay and always the danger Of acci-
dent Unfortunately that portion Of
Long Island Is so Eat that grade
crossings can only be eliminated at
great cost. Sooner or later, how
ever, more Of the important road
arteries in this neighborhood viii
have TO be bridged.
The complete elimination Of all
grade crossings on the main routes
Of travel near the city is, Of course,
the ideal. But the work viii neces-
sarily be slow and the appropria-
tons difficult TO obtain. In mapping
out the program efforts should
therefore be made to see that all the
principal roads carrying the auto
mobile traffic bound for the north
and south shore highways are first

race bullying by man in the uniform

platform OF the Columbia University

twenty sailors came noisily down the
stairs, laughing and talking. A fine
looking, quiet and well-drossed young
negro Of between twenty and twenty
five years stood on the platform at
tho time, apparently offending no one
and, so far as | know, minding his own
business absolutely.

Four New Republics

On August 10, 1920, Secretary
If State Colby, in a long note 20
Ambassador Avezzano Of Italy, de-
fined the attitude Of the Wilson Ad-
ministration toward Russia.
In essence il was that the Soviet
government would not be recognized,
nor would recognition be accorded 70
the new Baltic states whose terri
tories formerly were under the do
min.on Of the Car. Secretary
Colby and his chief were Of the opin-
ion that somehow Russia would he
geographically reconstructed. So
they turned a deaf ear TO the APP
roals Of Esihonia, Latvia and Lithu-
ania. though the Soviet government
had itself recognized their separa-
zion and their independence.

practical reasons, among them a de-
sire 90 give as much continuity as
he could % American foreign policy
has avoided expressly reversing the
absurd policy Of his predecessor.
But at last be deems the time ripe

them full recognition as free and in
dependent nations, able to maintain
political and economic stability
within their borders.
Should the three republics desire to

Two men IN a Maine town decided
to run a garden together and raise
four pigs on shares, for they professed
90 be aetuatod By tho eommunistie
sentiment that makes all men brothers
and divides the profits Of toll equally.
One Of these men was a scholarly
and ascctic man, with an eye TO tho
main chance; the other was a big.
blue-eycd blond man raised on
farm and a natural gardener. One had
the heritage Of blood that makes
things Of the soil and Of the field re-
spond TO his touch; the other was a
philosopher who had the communiatic
notion from his books and his politics.
The natural-born gardener had
thought for the pigs and the potatoes;
the other man had thought for the
philosophy. One had a desire 10 share,
tho other had a willingness 20 work
nnd consenting mind as 20 sharing
SO they went into partnership, and
the blue-eyod man saw that the seed
was bought and that it was right; that
the land was prepared and that it was
properly prepared; that the land was
titled and properly titled. The other
man worked in a desultory way and
most Of the sumner talked profits and
the beauty Of sharing equally Of the
products OF toll.
Then they bought the pigs. Each Of
the men went out and bought two pigs.
The big man bought better pigs, not
serimping in quality Of stock and pur-
chasing big, crooked tailed pigs; while
the other man chose smaller pigs with
straighter tails He paid a triae less
for them and congratulated himself on
bis shrowdness.
Pigs are pigs, Of course, with GER
tain differences by way Of individual
ism and porcinc nature, exactly as men

protected. On these only a limited
number Of crossings demand impera-
tive attention. Tho others may
await their turn.
The Long Islands problem Is
shared by most Of the other rail-
roads Of the country. Fortunately
the Federal and state highway bu-
reaus are willing in most cases to
cooperate. But, except when a road
Il being newly laid or a new branch
railroad Is being built, nearly all
embarrassing elimination requires
changes which are often difficult OF
accomplishment and nearly always
very costly. To set these in motion
is necessarily hard task.

are men with certain differences, by
way Of human nature. And human
nature reacts on pigs as II does on
human beings. Some people know
more about pigs than other people.
Some men can raise more hog than
others out Of tho same pig.
The blue-eyed man knew more about
pigs than did the scholarly man. His
knowledge was strictly cooperative;
but his personal pride in his own pigs
was mere human nature-eompetitiye
stuff IN an affair that should have been
communistic. A certain proprietary In
terest could not help manifesting it.
self IN his summers work with the
four pigs. He was fair enough about
Il, but Il was with no mean spirit that
he declined 20 interfere when, after
the manner Of pigs on earth, he saw
his stronger pigs shoulder the smaller
pigs Of his comrade away from the
communistic trough as he sed them. A
stronger pig is likely 20 do this, even
in the commune.
Another thing is TO be noted: the
blue-eyed man, who loved pigs as a
good manager loves his business, was
always there at feeding time and he
always saw that there was fair play;
the other chap was rarely there, but
trusted 20 the MARKHAM doctrine that
capital is the surplusage Of labor and
that TO labor IL belongs equally ac-
cording 20 effort. But he did not see
to Il that the pigs OF his oomrade did
not get more Of the feed than his own
pigs could get.
The seasons passed along and the
blue-eyed man hoed and woeded and
the scholarly man waited Tor his bread
ticket from the commune. The blue
eyed mans garden grew faster and
better than that Of HIS comrade. His
pigs grew fatter and stronger than

Wholesale and Retail Assassins


IN control Of the vast German
army the Junker monarchists were
able to carry on assassination By
wholesale. numbering wherever they
could send their regiments.
When their army was defeated
and driven back 20 their own from
tier they hid until their own skins
were safe.
Now they arc carrying on retail
assassinations, such as those Of Err
berger and Rathenau. a recent
cable brings the report Of q Ger
man monarchist plot against Pre-
micr Poincart Of France.
The German monarchist has al
ways been an assassin at heart
When he was toasting Der Tag"
he was plotting the butchery Of the
people Of other nations. When he
was directing his troops on the
battlefield or manufacturing poison
gas or fame throwers he was az
work upon schemes for assassina-
ton. As long as the German Re-
public suffers him to 90 at liberty
he will continue his murderous
schemes.
A government with a Hohenzollern
at its head, a Won Tirpitz direct

army and with schrccklichkct as its
motto developed a most dangerous
