Bewildering Ireland

The assassination of Michael Collins, head Of
the provisional government of the Irish Free
State following in ten days upon the death OF
Arthur Griffis. president of the dali eireann APP
parently leaves the Irish government leaderess :
says the indianapolis News. These two men fig
ured so conspicuously as the moving spirits of
the new state that the world knows little of the
others to whom the majority of the Irish people
may turn for conduct of affairs in this trying
time. Yet that the tactics of assassination and
guerilla warfare will succeed in destroying this
hopeful enterprise is hardly to be believed If
the vote of the Irish people is to be taken as an
indication of their sentiments regarding the new
government, they are overwhelmingly in its IA
vor, and to suppose that they will permit them
selves to be terrorized by the fright methods OF
the irreconcilable minority is to presume that
they are lacking in spirit as compared with the
people of other lands The world in general has
only recently passed through a demonstration OF
how fright methods work. They may succeed
temporarily, but instead of checking resistance

Ripping Rhymes
BEST SELLERS
BY Walt Mason

I follow up my endless quest,
seek them high and low-the books
that used to sell the best some TWEEN
ty years ago. Our glad applause we
used to give 10 every transient tome:
Here is a book that's bound to live
until the COWS come home. Oh, when
since Sappho cashed her string, were
odes so ably sung? These PONIES
will surely live, by jing, till every
dog is hung" And thus, with fer
vor in our soul. our noble fits we'd
throw; where are the deathless rig
maroles of twenty years ago." l
mention books that once were sold by
train loads through the land, anu only
gaffers growing old recall and under
stand. Now, Maurice Thompson's
masterpiece deserves a lasting fame
but when l ask my nifty niece if she
has read the same, 1--WE never heard
of such a book" she says, and tits

den tears. They try to sell me cur
rent rot, but such scheme won't go;
where are the books that hit the spot

were sprinked, plentifu1ly through
the speeches made at these meetings.
But the alert politician soon found
that the women were not used to the
glittering generalities and that they
waited politely but eagerly for the
point of the speech. The speaker
who seemed anxious to explain his
viewpoint in plain English was the
candidate who scored.
Altogether, the orator of the old
school, who banked on his dignity and
his sonorous voice to impress his pub
lie, is nearly extinct. Conditions are
not favorable for his development any
more. Even the recent war did not
produce any startling examples of ma
tional orators to join Webster and
Henry as silver-tongued persuaders
With all the stirring and emotional
themes that the war provided, the
typical Grafton that swayed the coun-
try was the brief four-minute talk. gen
orally crammed with facts.
Congressman and other men in the
public eye still like to make long
speeches. Some even go quietly to
schools of expression to learn how TO
hold an audience. But the embryo
orator is no longer taught to stick one
hand in his vest, put his right foot
forward six inches and let his voice
run the entire scale every few min
utes. The modern speech is less
flamboyant. The speaker gets closer
to his audience and talks to them in
stead of declaiming over their heands.
The silvertongued orator has been
a great tradition in this country. The
eloquence of our great speakers is re
sponsible for many of the thrills in
our history They used the technique
of their time, and they used it with
discrimination. Impassioned oratorv
fitted into the atmosphere of their
/ time Now it has about joined the
batwing collar and the broad-brim
! statesman's hat.

The Stump Speaker Passes
Public, Tired of Oratorica Flights, Demands Array of
Facts and Figures.

The expert was the man who, when
asked pointedly what he thought of
question, would smile genially and
wink at his audience to show that
they had joke together.
Now really" he would drawl good
naturally, the members of our great
and glorious party are so well aware
of our attitude toward this question
dramatic pause), and the adherents
of that other misguided and unen-
lightened party would scarcely be
able to grasp the finer points of the
issue (pause), that l am reminded of
a story in this connection which re-
fleets in true light the attitude of our
party at all critical stages when the
honor of the nation rests in its hands"
Then followed the story of the Irish
man and the other COW.
But now the rivalry between polite
al parties no longer seems a sufficient
ly great issue to hold party members
true to their clan. More and more in
each campaign the voters demand
proof Of a constructive platform and
insist on knowing the exact position
of the party on public affairs.
This tendency has affected oratory
sadly. 1t is next to impossible to drag
in high-flown illusions to the flag, a
mighty cause, and our sacred trust
when one is speaking to farmers on
the price of corn and hogs. Nor do
these illusions seem to fit in with
other timely topics such as the ship
subsidy, the tariff, or labor problems.
Prohibition might seem suitable
field for emotional appeals, but even
when such a theme is being expound-
ed audiences grow FESTIVE under a
| floor of sentiment. Facts and figures
are expected now in political speeches.
Even speakers who have always been
masters of the art of eVading definite
! statements are finding that language
in all of its sonorous beauty fails to
awe the modern audience.
! A stump speaker used to be as much
| of an entertainment feature as the
circus. People would sit entranced as
| long as a speaker would wave his
arms and go through his list of tricks
| But ever since the movies began to
provide more regular entertainment
audiences have been less ready to be
spellbound.
Women Demand Facts
| From Speakers.
The entrance of women into poll
tics may be cited as one of the most
recent contributing causes to the
change in oratory At the headquar
tiers of the League of Women Voters
they tell you that the questionnaires
which have been sent out to candi
dates have affected political speech
making, indirectly at least. These
missionaries inquired the candi

they raise up overwhelming opposition, as in the
case of Germany.
ct is hardly conceivable that the assassina-
lion Of Collins has weakened sentiment in favor
If the cause for which he stood. Rather it is
to be hoped that it has arousew determine
ton and opened the way for new leadership IA
cilitated by strengthened sentiment for unity.
To reason and to hope so is to apply to Ireland
the same general line of thought and feeling
applied to the affairs of other countries, but con-
ditions there often become so bewildering as to
create doubt whether considerations that would
weigh elsewhere are applicable there. What they
hope to gain by their wantonly destructive course
in the land they profess to love, and probably
sincerely believe that they do love, is hard to
understand. A country rich in possibilities, one
of the garden spots of the world, at the door of
an Europe in sore need of the resources that
could easily be developed under peaceful govern
ment, is being subjected to similar process of
ruthless devastation that characterized the Ger
man invasion of Belgium and France, and this
by Irishmen who are fighting other Irishmen.
The most charitable view to be taken of their
sble perfection and lack that spirit of compro-
mise that comes with experience in the working
of democratic government-the spirit that takes
political defeat peacefully. In all democratic
government there are sorry defects of adjust
ment which need to be taken phiosophcally.
The working often looks bad, but it is much
better than the system of intolerance, assassi-
nation and guerrilla war that attends unwilling
ness to give up any point of apparently logical
right

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. "a
Life is being made harder and more
complex for the poor politician, at any
rate as far as speech making is con-
cerned. The trusty Grafton that rock
ed nine counties in 1895 and any num-
Der of years following is almost use
less baggage to the veteran candidate
now. In fact, the country has reached
a stage where a politician must write
comparatively new speeches every
time he takes the stump to re-elect
himself or somebody else.
This is no doubt an annoying de-
velopment to some old-timers. For
years, our political campaigns were
staged with one stock grafton. To be
sure the grafton wore DISCUSSES. 1t
had various titles and subjects. But if
you took it apart and gazed into its
mechanism it was the same time-tried
speech, made up of the same string of
metaphors and references that could
not fail to draw tears and applause
from any 100 percent patriotic audi
ence
Thus, early in the opening para
graphs occurred the reference to the
eagle screaming defiance at the das.
tardly enemies of national integrity
/ anu 1Ctl6 later came the dramatic
announcement that the American
flag waves proudly over this sunny
land; let US not darken its shores by
/ the shadow of infamy" And so the
speech went on with its rolling sent
| ences, sure-fire sentiment, and old
+! old anecdotes.
| There are politicians who say that
| the country has changed less than
some think, and that the old style ora
| ton is still a great vote getter, espe-
cially in rural districts. Others, how
ever, hold that the stump speaker who
hasn't sensed a change in the times
and the public is in for a shock.
! There are several reasons why
spread eagle oratory has become al
most defunct. One is that the public
takes more interest in platforms. Once
/ the American voter voted for a party
and all the stump speaker had to dc
was to arouse partisan feeling. Wav
/ ing the bloody shirt was his job.
( Facts Never
! Troubled OId-Timers.
| In those times the politician who
would allow himself to be pinned down
to facts on a. troublesome issue would
have been regarded as a total failure
