tablished as in Ireland"

"The Free State is to be congratu-
lated" asserts the Boston Transcript,
because ''partisanship could not cloud
the main issues involved. That issue
was whether the voters of the Free
State were willing to accept the con-
stitution and forIN of government
authorized by the Anglo-Irish treaty;
or whether they preferred to follow
the lead of De Valera and his faction
In rejecting this constitution as the
organic law of the greater part of
ireland. Public opinion in the Free
State seems definitely crystallized in
favor of the principles for which
President Cosgrave and his govern
ment have BEEN fighting" The new
nation has the right tol additional
confidence and respect" the Indianap-
oils News points out, because. as the
Lynchburg News sees it, 1.-THE people
showed a degree of self-containment
and tolerance and respect for duly
constituted authority that served as a
highly encouraging refutation of that
claim that, once having the power,
the Irish would prove incapable of
the restraint and forbearance neces-
sary to self-government. The pres
ence of the republicans in the dali
should not prove to be harmful, but
helpful, ultimately" asserts the Gin
cinnati Enquirer although the Rich

On this subject the Albany Knick-
erbocker Press has no particular
opinion but it insists there is ample
ground for general satisfaction be-
cause Ireland is steadily emerging

peace and unity. Much thoughtiess

publican faction opposed to the Free
State will have less than one-seyenth

Syracuse Herald feels, "the only vital
question in the election has been set
tied with emphasis and in the right
way" This is also the opinion of the
Atlanta Journal, which holds that 1.-THE
weight of Ireland's will appears to be
all.decisively for the Free State" The
nationals will start with q construc-
tive program for promotion OF edura-

The Irish Free State has proven
itself. 1t is unanimously character
ized as worthy of a place In the con-
gregation of nations by editors VINO
discuss the result Of the recent elec-
tion. !Tha Cosgrave government re-
mains in power. Continuation OF the
policiee which have brought order
ont Of chaos is certain. But the re-
publicans have elected enough MEM
bsrs to compel the government to
make concessions to all parties Then
+ba combination of Free Staters and
Orsngemen, who gave Ernest Blythe
a great plurality, is accepted as in
d;cating that eventual reconciliation
batwsen Ulster and the Free State
may be looked for. Editors likewise
point out that the labor party mas
almost completely collapsed and no
longer can be considered a factor in
Irish politics. The future policies OF
President cosgrave, as announced by
him while at Genoa arrangng LOT
af nations, are warmly aDplauded,
especialIy his assertion that here
after everything is to be strictly
business, especially with regard TO
financing the country ~ Is ae sSe
ma jority of the republican leaders
who now are in jail Will be released.
American editors generally suggest
such action, holding 1t would nave
great moral effect everywhere.
Inasmuch as from so to 20 per
cent of the qualified electors voted"
as compared with only about 40 per
cent in this country at the last presl-
aantiai election. the New York World
declares this Is good sign because
"many qualified voters in this coun-
try, because of alien birth. Ignorance
Of the language or other cause, have
no interest in politics. The Free
state. in that respect, with its al
most homogeneous population, makes
a good beginning" The Baltimore
sun is convinced that the artificial
unity among Irishmen more or less
preserved during the generation OF
struggle against. Great Britain. has
completely vanished. The best indi-
eatien OF how independent Ireland
really is can be found in the way the
boasted solidarity of Sinn Fein has
disappeared with the removal or
British pressure. Fundamentally the
situation in Ireland is near to
Y1ormal," An impression of war
wcarfness'' Is noted by the Newark
News in thu extremely quiet manner

the News insists that mo exaggeration

it was the most peaceful election IN

Coolidge's Consistency.

In Chicago a Coolidge for President.
Club has been organized and the sec.
retary wrote to President Coolidge APP
prising him Of the fact. In reply the
President outlined his attitude toward
the post he now holds and to friendly,
efforts looking to his possible continu-
ance In it. He frankly appreciates the
motive. expressive of confidence in
him, but makes It clear that seeking
the nomination for 1924 is at this time
secondary to a duty which has prior
claim upon his attention, that of
carrying on the policies of the Hard
ing administration ami fulfflfing TO his
highest ability the responsibilities OF
the Office OF Chief Executive of the
United States.
This outline of the action and feel-f
ing of President Coolidge is consistent
with the course he has undeviatingly
followed since he succeeded to the
presidency. He has shown 1t in, word
and deed. Not discriminating or dis
playing false modesty as to the NOM
ination, to which any. American cfti.
zen is entitled to aspire in 1924, he
nevertheless foresaw from the outset
that the first thing at hand was to
take up the duties Of which President
Harding was relieved by death before
thinking Of politics for the future.
The American people were quick to
grasp his Interpretation of mis- respon-
sibilities and duties in the premises,
and have continuously applauded him.
Consistently carrying out this policy Is
calculated to attract more genuinely
effective support next year than all
the boosting clubs that can be or
ganized :

PHOTOGRAPHIC GAS FLAME

Utilization of an ordinary gas
flame is the latest novelty offered to
put a larger volume of tone and
beauty into photographic reproduc-
ton. News of the latest device
comes from England, where some
inventor has devised small sound
horn that employs the pnlsation of a
gas fame combined with reflector.
Just how the device works is not
clear, though photographs have been
shown of the machine in operation.
It's inventor claims for it the great
est improvement in sound reproduc-
lion since the invention of the
monograph itself.
