If the bonus is allowed, the taXpay-'
,ers will feel that the promise to lift
their burdens has not been kept.
And if the method of paying the
bonus adopted should increase the
bonded indebtedness of the country,
there would be a disarrangement in
finances which might affect invest
ment securities to n serious degree
market that would check the just be-
ginning upward movement in pros
perity.
The problems are not made any
easier by reason of the fact that their
consideration will fall in period of
intense political activity and agita-
tion. with the two big parties strug-
Cling for control of the House and
seats in the Senate and partisan ran
cor running high in every northern
and western state.
The man is a Utopian for fair who
dreams that these big, vital questions
of aid to the veterans, burdens upon
the taxpayers and the financial sta
bility of the country are likely to be
handled entirely regardless of polt-
ical effect.
Suppose the democrats should cap
ture the House next November? Let's
consider some of the results realized
to be bound up in such an outcome
of the elections as the politicians dis
cuss them. There would be advan-
tages and disadvantages to the demo-
Gratis and a possible compensation to
the republicans. it is explained by the
political sfarps. 1t might be said
with promptness and emphasis. how
ever. thatxafe republicans would will
lingly ford seo the presumed compen-
sation.
1t would consist in the fact that
with a democratic House. certain
degree of responsibility would be lift
ed from the republicans looking for
ward to the accounting to be made at
the polls in the presidential election
of 1924. The republicans could say
that since the country had seen fit to
ham string the Congress with divided
houses, it could not hold the repub-
lican party responsible for failure to
enact legislation.

The democrats, while realizing a
certain cogency in this argument are
still eager to take chance on it,
however. They say that the moral
effect of a democratic victory in No
fit to their party by restoring the
morale and lifting up the dropping
and disconsolate heads of the faith
full, bowed beneath that awful ava
lanch Of seven million majority of
1920.
Moreover, they argue. control of the
House would afford them opportunity
to pass some bills-certain to be re-
jected by the republican Senate-as
an object lesson of what the party
could do and would do if it had con-
troll of both branches of Congress.

camps. Parnell was the uncrown-
ed king of Ireland. He fought for
Irish freedom with an icy passion
never equaled in Irish history.
y Parnelrs life and fall is the su-
preme disaster of Irish history.
The mantle of leadership was rip
ped from his shoulders by those
who told him that, so far as Ire
land was concerned, politics could
never be put before faith and
morals. From his day down to
the time of John Redmond the
whole country was divided by the
name of Parnell into an agony of
love and of hate.
Lastly, there is Redmond him
self. John Redmond will live in
Irish history as a great memory,
but not as the founder Of a great
party. Redmond was the last Of
those to lead Ireland up the sor-
rowful way to her Calvary.
The mills of the gods have been
grinding slowly since Redmond's
death, and now apparently an
other leader must be added to the
litany of Ireland's fallen chief
tains.
Eamonn De Valera has lost his
high place as President of Ire
land.

Romance and tragedy have been
woven in the life of De Valera
from the cradle. OF his father,
who was a Spaniard, the Irish
chieftain knows very little. His
father was a merchant, and while
living in Limerick met and won
the heart of an Irish .colleen-De
America, and Eamonn De Valera,
induced her husband to come to
America, and canon De Valera,
their only son, was born in New
York city on October IA, 1882. His
father died when he was about
three years old. and with his
mother De Valera returned to her
people in Limerick. There he
lived and there he grew. to man
hood.
When the Irish volunteers were
formed, he Joined its ranks as a
private and rapidly rose to posi-
tion on the general staff. When
the uprising actually took place,
he was given the Mount street area
of Dublin to hold with a battalion
of about one hundred men. Here
he successfully withstood the en-
tire force OF a division Of the Brit.
ish army. His main position, was
still unshaken when he received
the orders of the commander-in-
: chief OF the Irish Volunteers,
Padraic Pearse, to surrender. In

tactics. Those who were taken
prisoners by De Valera testified
to the courtesy and chivalry with
which he treated them. After his
surrender, De Valera was tried by
court-martial and sentenced to
death, but, owing to the tide of
public opinion against the Eng
lish military methods, the execu-
tions were stopped, and De Valera
was sentenced to penal servitude
for life.
After his release, De Valera ac-
cepted the nomination as republi-
can candidate for East Clare, the
seat made vacant in the house of
parliament by the death of Capt.
Willie Redmond, the brother of
John Redmond. East Clare was a
stronghold of the Irish home
rulers, and De Valera began his
campaign with the appeal for an
Irish republic. No man up to his
time so clearly enunciated the
principle of 1reland's right to SOW
ereign independence. The result
of his campaign was that he cap

Lincoln, March 25.-(Special.) y
Robert Meyer, head of parochial
school in Hamilton county, will find
out from the United States supreme
court whether or not he can be pre-
vented legally from teaching Ger

His attorneys were allowed writ
of error today by the state supreme
court, permitting appeal of the case
to the supreme tribunal of the nation.
Meyer was fined SIS by the district
court of Hamilton county for teach
ing German, contrary to the original
anti-foreign act of the state. He did
this by extending the "recess pc
Rod" and teaching the forbidden
language during that time.
The supreme court upheld the fine.
Foreign language communities in
