RELIGION In ireland.

One of the strangest contradictions
in Ireland Is the fact that the old
Catholics worship In new churches.
while the new Professionals retain the
old churches. In Armagh, for instance,
p. w. Wilson writes in Worlds Work,
there are two archbishops, the one n
cardinal and the other the Protestant
primate. The cardinals cathedral,
with It's delicate spires, is recent
fresh-looking-modern. The primate,
however, controls the old gray shrine
with its grim tower, which was reared
for Catholicism by medieval monks.
Some Catholics think this is a griev-
ance; others consider that new build
ings are better suited than old n es to
the needs Of the Twentieth century.
Be that as 1t may, you have In Dublin
two great cathedrals-St. Patrick's
and Christ church-both medieval
and both Protestant-while Catholics
fill their churches five times on a Sun
day morning.

Big Majority Not Wanted.

Neither party Is entirely happy when
It has an overwhelming majority in
congress. The reason Is not far to seek.
1t Is possible for u party majority to
be too big for party comfort. When
a political party has control, ' SO to
speak, overwhelmingly, its representa-
tiyes In congress are likely to break
away and form into cliques and to
make it somewhat difficult for the
leaders to secure straight party legisla-
ton in the form in which they de-
sire IT.
When the party majority is small the
call to party duty generally is obeyed.
and men who do not agree In full with
the policies of the leaders usually are
willing to follow them along legislative
lines after making a speech or two in
protest which will satisfy constituents
that they attempted TO do the seem
ingly right thing, but were compelled
finally by considerations of party 10y
atty to follow the leaders.
The Democrats have been buster
than the Republicans along propaganda
md publicity lines. The Republicans
seemingly now are getting ready to
make their appeals to the country and
TO present the facts of their case. 1t
has peer rather easier for the Demo
Gratis than for the opposition to get
started. The Democrats already know
what the Republicans in congress are
irving to do, while the Republicans are
not vet sure whether they will succeed
in what they are trying to do. The
result is that the Democrats today can
tell of Republican endeavor and pre-
sent their reasons for opposition to 1t,
while the Republicans must wait for
legislative accomplishment before they
can say to the people, 1--WE did this
thing and it Is good"

'Gingras. MY wife, my son and my

been built up from a half-sick, run

spirit OF the age. one living thing
has been saved from the old Web
ster place. 1t Is u lockwood tree un-

speeches which made him famous. The

Other Old Residences Doomed.
The old Webster home faced Lafay-
cite square. 1t stood within a door or
two of the home of Gideon Welles,
who was Lincoln's secretary of the
navy. There are still left on the
square some other residences which
were occupied by the great men of the
past, but the word is that the course
of modern improvements will find
them within a few years in the way,
and that they will follow the Webster
home to destruction.
w. w. Corcoran, the founder of the
Corcoran art gallery and of the Louise
home for aged women In Washington,
succeeded Daniel Webster as an occu-
pant of the red residence on Lafayette
square. Some years after Mr.. Cor
coran's death Chauncey NJ. Depew
leased the residence and lived there
while he was a member of the United
States senate. During the process OF
destruction of the building, old resi-
dents of Washington gathered about
the place and watched with something
much like sorrow in their faces the
process of demolition. The old house
was built for keeps"

Democrats Confident.

The Democrats say that they know
the Republican majorities will be cut
down hugely next fall and that If the
present dominant party secures n ma
jority representation in the next house
Of representatives 1t will be Il majority
so reduced as to make the victory tan.
tamount to a defeat. The Democrats,
however, express a confidence that
their party actually will win next No.
vember and that when the new con-
gress comes in President Harding will
have on his hands a Democratic house
of representatives.
All these prophecies and hopes and
condolences must be taken for what
they are worth, for 1t Is n part of the
business of party leaders TO prophesy
victory at the polls. The real situation
seems to be that the Republicans are
fully confident of keeping their control
of the house OF representatives, but
that they have no real thought that the
control will have the strength of num-
bers that 1t has today.

Political Leaders Active.

Markedly strenuous activities are
evident In the ranks of the Dem
ocratic ana Republican congressional
campaign committees. Arthur b..
Rouse O., the Sixth Kentucky dis
trIct Is chairman of the Democratic
body, and Simeon d. Fess of the Sew
enth Ohio district leads the Repub
licnn campaigning forces.
The Democrats believe that they can
cut down materially the Republican
majority in the next congress. The
Republicans naturally say that the
Democrats cannot do what they think
they can do, but 1t is only the plain
truth to say that few Republicans here
have any thought that they will main
tain In the neXt congress the huge ma
jority which Is theirs In the present
body.
Cordell Hull of Tennessee Is the
chairman of the Democratic Nationai
committee and John T.. Adams of Iowa
holds like position with the Republican
National committee. The national and
the congressional committees are co.
alescing their efforts this year in the
congressional campaigns. The major
bodies are doing what they can to help
out the minor bodies. Each political
party knows that 1t has much at stake.
Recently 1t was said in Washington
by an analyzer of political situations
that while the Republican leaders do
not believe that they will hold either
the house or the senate by the present
great majorities, they do believe that
the party will be found in control of
both houses of congress next year "by
substantial working majorities." 1t
was added to this statement that deep
down this Is all that the Republican
leaders really want"

mark-Ready for Party Conflict.
BY EDWARD q. CLARK

Washington.-When the proposal
first was made to cut the army down
to $4,000 men, Secretary of War
Weeks somewhat cannily expressed
the belief publicly that If the army
thus were reduced it would be neces-
sary to abandon a great number of
army posts.
Now, If there is one thing which a
member of congress wishes to avoid.
1t is the abandonment of the army
post which happens to be in his home
district. So 1t may have been. ana
perhaps was, that Secretary of War
Weeks had this in mind when he
issued his word Of what might be
called warning.
There are not as many army posts In
the United States today as once there
were, but there are a good many of
them scattered all over the country
n which are garrisoned by compara-
lively few troops, but enough to add a
little something Of the pomp of mill
tary affairs to the vicinity In which
they are quartered. Moreover, the
purchasing power of the troops is con-
siderable, and therefore the localities
in which they are stationed benefit in
the matter of trade.
Some Of the posts are located near
great cities and some Of them are near
small towns, but they are all in a
n show places, and band concerts
and parades offer their attractions to
the neighboring people. 1t is perhaps
possible that Americans generally de-
sire that the army shall be cut down.
but 1t is certain that every American
who lives nea an army post desires
that in the cutting-down process the
home garrison shall not be included.
There are still existing some few
army posts which in the old days were
isolated, some of them being three or
-four hundred miles from a railroad.
Those were the days Of Indian war
fare, and many stirring events hap
pened in places which are now almost
in the heart of civilization. There
may be met in Washington today
many old soldiers who saw duty In
such at present thickly populated
states as Nebraska and Kansas In the
days when the Comanches, the Kio-
was and the Arapahoes were ~ravaging
the frontier.

"PoIiticaI" Army Posts.

There are In the United States sew
eral posts which are known rs pollt-
ical posts. The' army experts knew
where the garrison should be located.
and would make their recommended
lions, but congress In later years never
has paid any attention to expert opin-
ion on these matters. There Is nj
excuse for the existence as army posts
of several of the greatest garrisons in
the United States. They are where
they are because some senator or rep
resentative had a pull sufficient to
secure their location In the home dis
trict, or in the home state.
The regular army of the United
States hereafter is to be used appar-
emily only for police duty. The first
element necessary for proper home de-
tense In case Of riotous demonstra-
lions against the authority of the
United States government Is that
troops shall be located within easy
railroad access of the places where
such troubles are most likely to occur
When one great garrison was estab-
lished 1t was figured out that 1t would
take five days to get the great body
of troops there stationed to the near
est point of probable danger. Such
posts are called political posts.
If the army is to be reduced to
$4,000 men, and as u natural conse-
quence many army posts are to be
abandoned, there will be some inter-
esting scene in certain offices Of the
War department and not infrequently
perhaps in the Office Of the President
Of the United States.
