NOW DEMOCRACY'S ENEMIES
TRAIN GUNS ON THE IRISH
II Is Becoming Fashionable to Say That
Popular Government Is a Failure
in America and Elsewhere

DOL1T1CAL thunders and lightnings at
L tended the Irish Free State into the
world Of living things this morning. No
other Government born out Of human unrest
and aspiration ever lifted its head In an
atmosphere so tense and heavy with assorted
troubles, so charged with explosive feeling
as that which hangs over the Old World at
this writing.
The Bad People as the Irish themselves
might say. were at the very cradle of the
new Government muttcring dark wishes.
There was Carson. the D'Annunzio of
Ulster. ready to harry and dcform the in
FAINT and there was DE Valera. lingering his
knife and promising murder. part OF
official England is still cynical and un-
friendly. Yet these are not the most dan.
gerous enemies of the new Ireland.
The people whom the Irish should fear
are new and influential cult which is rising
not only in Europe but in America. to insist
that democracy is failure and dream OF
dema gogues and that ultimately it will have
to pass.

This opinion. reflected at the moment in
some OF the colleges and in books and pre-
tontious works Of criticism. is one of the
most significant phenomena Of contemporary
thought in the United States.
Oddly enough. we have TO thank the irish
Of Ireland for bringing the form and spirit
Of this new anti democratic thought into the
open For what is being said of the Irish
Free State by unfriendly writer's in America
and England represents antagonisin not to
Ireland alone. but to the whole system of
democratic thought and practice throughout
the world We are reminded. for example.
that in the present Government Mt Dublin
there are no men "trained in the arts of
craftsmanship and diplomacy and that
Collins and Cosgrave and even DE valera
and the rest Of them came up from OBJ
livion" without the knowledge or experience
necessary to the wise direction OF nation.
1t is quite true that, if you eliminate
few scattered intellectuals i'll the back
ground, the men in control of the new irish
Government will be found to be "without
training in the arts Of statesmanship and
dplomacy''--a circumstance for which the
irish people, rellellpeIlHS "ho' Wv "' -
craftsmanship and diplomacy have been
doing to the world may thank their stars.
II is because the leaders of the Free - te
are actually Of the soil and of the people
and virtually without experience with the
arts Of Lloyd George and Clemenccau and
Curzon that they have at this moment
really representative Government animated
by purely native instincts and completely
representative Of national feeling and ma
tional hopes.

What the world is witnessing at Dublin is
trial of democracy in the pure state nased
upon an authentic sense OF equality and tht

Such hopes, whether they may be realized
or not, can come only from those rnr"st of

close to the soil and its people. They spring
out Of doctrine that restores to the demo-

The inner meanings of such thinking are
biyhIv colorful. Within the great democ-
rocies can be discerned signs Of the old in
tolerance the old lack of faith in laws OF
;us,ice. the old dislike and distrust OF the
neople. 1t is strange to observe that the
now assertions of aristocrAtic and exclusive
principles come from people who have been
nrr.ured and exalted by the democracie'
which they would deny. 1t is too easy to
answer them.
Democracy, in America or Ireland. cannot
he q perfect instrument. The people are
negligent. But no errors or crimes OF Wash.
;neton or Dublin. Of Cork or Harrisburg,
could ever be so disastrous as those Of which
.men trained in the arts Of craftsmanship
hive been guilty in recent years.
Democraces will SO on trying to give ex.
nrcsson to what is good in the human heart
rather than what is good in theory and sta =
t;stics. They will fail. But they will not
lose hope. They will get somewhere. They
cannot turn aside.

 "It is true that in some of the Southern states there is illiteracy, and in greater degree than found in some Northern and Western states. The fact of the matter is, as every one knows, that with the Civil war ended, the South was left impoverish- ed to degree that is pathetic to every fair-minded man. It was left with the burden of educating race just freed from slavery.

and taxes scared The loans must be paid so the taxes have not de- creased up to now-four years after the close of the war. Think of it! The cost of one superdreadnaught would build eight such schools as the University of Arkansas, nearly four thousand miles of railway, or nearly one thusand buildings such as this one. Thirty-eight per cent of the internal revenue of the United States goes to the army and navy. Prepara- tion for the next war-while only one per cent goes to public health and education. We cannot afford to neg lect these important items. What will the next war with it's new des- tructive machines cost?
 Commerce is also suffering. No nation is doing the business it did before the war. Shipping has de- creased and factories are not run ming at full force, causing unem- ployment and high prices. Thous- ands of able-bodied men, willing to work are facing starvation because of unemployment. Good machines are idle because of high freight rates and no raw material. Farmers-the producers of raw materials-are suf- fering from no markets and low prices. We must get some team work. Think of the time--an import ant item in commerce-lost in com readjustment.
 From an economical standpoint We cannot afford war.

soldiers were in the field the burden of support and industry fell On them along with old men and boys The unaccustomed work and nervous strain caused a weakening to be felt for many years. In Europe today there are thousands of under-sized, undeveloped children. Child labor,
 poor food, and unhealthy environ ment caused this. The armies call ed for the fittest men and women. This left the "culls" to be the par ents for the next generation. Can We wonder that they are weak?
 America has been fortunate from a physical standpoint. Her men were killed and wounded but she was not invaded as Europe was. Try to think of the effort of the next war on the physique of man.
 "The need of peace from a moral standpoint is as great as from any other standpoint. We are in the grasp of a crime wave and moral looseness.
 The army taught men to hate and kill. They lost respect for human life and if We search the criminal dockets We will find many ex-soldi- CTS listed. The great spirit of unrest, unemployment, and socialistic part ies have all helped to prolong the crime wave. There must be cleaning up soon or the wave will engulf us. Crime does not thrive in time of peace Another after effect of the war is the loose morals and religious decline War is time of sacrifice and morals are nearly for gotten.

SALTS F BACKACHY
 AND KIDNEYS HURT
Drink lots of water and stop eating neat for . while if your BlAddaz
 troubles you

When you wake up with baeiiaehs and dull misery in the kidney region it gen orally means you have been eating too much meat, says 8 well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which overworks c the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels; re- moving all the body's urinous waste, else you have backache, sick headache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night
 Either consult good, reliable physi- clan at once or get from your pharmacist about four ounces of lad Salts; take 8 tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with ithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder weakness. -v
 lad Salts is . life saver for regular meat eaters. It is inexpensive, cannot injure and makes a delightful, effer- Sescent Whitewater drink.

Prize Winning Essay
 County School Contest

The following was the prize win ming essay in the recent county con- test, the subject of which is "The Worlds Need of Peace," and was written by Joe Burlingame:
 Mankind has been fighting since the days of Cain and Able. It is time we had peace-everlasting peace. The whole world needs it. Needs it from several standpoints, namely, the economical, the physi- cal, and the moral. I will, in this short work, try to show you the need for peace by referring to the recent war and the possible next war. Lack of space forces me to give bare facts, few details.
 "The economical condition of the world today is a deplorable one Gov ernments and business are shot to pieces, so to speak. Financial con- ditions are abnormal. It is as though the world had been turned upside down and the replacing of things begun. The governmental con- ditions of Europe are serious as a result of the recent war. New of- ficers and sometimes new forms of government have to be installed. In some countries there is practically no government, disorder reigns. No zaans life is safe. He is !cyalist one day and a rebel the next Rus- sia, Austria, Poland and Hungary are in this state The larger govern ments of Europe and those of Ameri- ca were shaken up and over worked by preparation for war.
