Arthur Griffith was one of the lead
ers in the creation of the Irish Free
State. He was one of the founders OF
the Slim Fem movement in Ireland
and from the beginning has been
among the foremost leaders directing
its activities. He has been somewhat
out of light, however. during the re-
cent military activities which have
been largely directed on behalf of
Free States forces by Michael Col
Inns. head OF the Irish provisional gov.
eminent set up under the terms OF
the Anglo Irish treaty.
Mi. Griffith was formerly an editor
of Dublin and later established tho
newspaper United Iishmen, Followed
by other Sim Fein and then the Ma
tionality, both OF which represented
he wing Of the Republican movement
favoriug dominion status for Ireland,
He first attracted attention by his
uncompromising attitude for abstenta
ton by Irish members from attend
ance Of the sessions of the British
parliament at Westminster. This
idea gradually formed the new nucleus
of the Sim Fem organization. which
took place of the Irish nationalist
movement.
In October. 1919. Griffith was elect
ed presiding officer for the opening
of the Sim Fein conference in Dublin.
In July 1919, Griffith was elected
acting president of the Irish national
assembly In the absence of Eamonn
Do Valera. who was in the United
States. In October of the same year
he was elected one of the permanent
vice presidents of h Sim Fem or
gnnization.
Griffith a arrested in Dublin in
November. 1890. and spent seven
months in Mount Joy prison. During
his imprisonment he issued a message
to the Irish people as to the conduct
Of the Sim Fem organization. An
attempt was made to rescue him from
Mount JOY prison. but the armored
cdr used for that purpose failed to
carry out its mission.
Tho return of Mr.. De Valera was
attributed to Griffith's imprisonment
as Mr.. De Valera, upon his return
resumed the active direction Of Sim
Fein affairs.

MINING ACTIVITY INCREASES

Increasing activity is the keynote
of the situation in the mining indus
try today. This is manifested (D in
increased production at many prop
critics, both large and small; (2) in
stimulated development of prospects
and the reopening of old mines, and
(3) in the construction of new plants.
An unusual number of new mills have
turned out their first shipments of
bullion or concentrate during the last
few weeks, and construction work on
others is in various stages of COM
pletion. Output is limited in most
places by the available supply of ex-
perienced miners at the present
wages. However, the attitude taken
by the employers generally is to get
along as we'll as possible under pre-
vailing wage scales until next May,
at any rate. The recent countrywide
increase of about so cents per day
helped matters somewhat, and the Ia
Dor supply is definitely better than
it was two months ago-Mining Rec

HARDING DEFIED BY FARM BLOC
Senate Insurgents Demand Subsidy
Give Way to Rural Credits

Washington, Dec. 13.-A demand by
the senate farm bloc that the ship
subsidy bill be displaced in favor OF
rural credits legislation brought Pres
ident Harding and the senate insur-
gents into close grips Tuesday.
The president permitted announce
ment to be made that he will vigor-
ously oppose any move to set the sub
sidy bill aside until it is definitely
disposed Of by aye and nay vote
Other disposition of the measure the
president would regard as an evasion
Of congressional responsibility.
The farm bloc, however, apparently
is in position to make its demand eff
fective. 1t has the backing Of fifty
votes, one more than a majority!
which can be used at any time to
force adoption of motion to shelve
the subsidy measure and make the
consideration of farm legislation in
order.
The bloc showed its teeth by pass
ing word to the leaders that unless
they agree voluntarily to discard the
subsidy bill in favor of farm credits
bill, such motion will be made and
there Will be sufficient votes to pass
it. This challenge was uttered after
leaders of the bloc were advised that
President Harding specifically desires
the subsidy bill kept before the sem
ate.

THE GAMBLER
(Ry Berton Braley)

(Ry Berton Braley)
The boys who play the ponies,
The lads who buck the wheel,
The men who rig the market
In railroads, mines or steel,
May seem like reckless gamblers
And yet their ways are tame
Compared to all the chances of
The Farmers daring game!
He CANDLES with the sunshine.
He bets upon the rain,
He shoves his stack across the board
With all to lose or gain;
Agaginst hail, frost and tempest
He coolly lays his odds,
While from daylight to the dark
He plows and tills the clods.
He bets his time and labor.
His everlasting toll,
Against the locust and the worm
That makes his. crops their spoil;
Each year he risks his fortune,
His strength and thought as well,
Upon a shifting market
Which no man may fortell!
Through all his life he plunges!
A gambler unafraid,
His bets with nature and with man
Upon the board are laid;
Upon the very wheel of fate
His wages bold are hurled
The greatest gambler of them all
Who feeds a hungry worldi
