Although your spirit falter-aye and
You shall not lose unless your cour-
age dies;
So long as you are brave enough to
try,
The flame of strength within you
shall not die.
If sometimes you shall feel the fatal
urge
To let your grip grow loose upon
life's reins.
Lash every energy with scorn. and

Your forces in a drive against your

Let no one have the chance to pass
and say
You are a weakling. wrecked along
the way.
Let no man smile and say you've lost

You're judged by what you seem in
actual view;
Within his heart he too may be less
bold
A thousand times than he may seem

The one who takes the upper sphere.

Who fights each day a stronger man
to be.
Whatever be the place that now is his.
BE sure he fought to be the man he is.

DE VALERA SHIFTS FROM
WAR TO POLLS; DUMP ARMS

Dublln.-Captured documents made
public by the free state government
show that Eamonn de Valera and his
chief of staff, Frank Aiken, have
definitely ordered a cessation OF active
hostilities by the republicans. admit
ting that "the republic can no longer
be defended successfully by your
arms"
There Will be no formal surrender Of
arms, but the order by Aitken that
they shall be dumped Is almost the
equivalent, for arms dumps are easily
discovered by the free state patrols.
1t is believed the Republicans now
are likely to concentrate their efforts
upon the election campaign.
Definite abandonment OF the state of
war Is expected to prove embarrassing
TO the government. whose imprison-
ment and military measures have up
to this time been legally justified by
the decision Of the courts that they
were necessary to the campaign against
the irregulars. No immediate large re-
leases of prisoners. however, are prob
able.

ut seems TO me that common snnse,

adopted by congress as a proper and
reasonable amendment of the volstca1

should be prescribed by congress which
is In fact mountaineering within the

Subject to that limitation each state
should thereafter be let free to deter

then wished to limit traffic to bever-
ages containing not more than one
half Of n per cen of alcohol would
