The postoffice was in an old hickory

tiers and packages on one side, and on
the other side were little square boxes
marked with peoples names.
If Mr.. Rabbit dropped post card

Mr.. Cottontairs name on it. That IS,

IRISH NAMES.

Our sympathy is entirely with the
woman who sued for divorce because
she thought she was marrying an Irish
man and it transpired that she had
married a Greek. Not that we have any
objection to Greek. A Greek with
a Greek name is a delightful fellow.
But we are prejudiced against the ap-
preparation of good old Irish names,
names that seem part of the very soil
of old Erin, little bits o. heaven in
themselves. by men of other borders and
breeds and births.
Because the Irish people are the most
picturesquely belligerent in the world
and have given to the gloves and the
ring their greatest opponents, almost
every fellow who adopts a pugilistic
career would carry on the great Irish
tradition by adopting an Irish name.
1t was not for this that 1rishmen
fought for centuries with each other and
anybody else that was accessible. Ire
land for the Irish should take on a
new manifestation. The rights of self
determination should prevent this in
vasion of the battling spirit which is
the Irishman's heritage. The law pro-
tects the trademark. Why should not
the mark of temperament be protected
For temperament is far more precious
thing than trade, even in these degen-
crate days of commerce-Cincinnati
Times Star.

DINNERS AND ANTI.FAT.

Is the dinner as a social institution
about TO go? A San Francisco mat
ron thinks so. She says it is a thank
less task to give a large dinner with
an elaborate menu when so many of
her guests are dieting TO preserve or
restore sylph-like figures.
If the dinner party goes it will be
one more ancient custom unable to
survive the attack of modern times.
Dinners have always been, until later
years, affairs where much food and
drink were served, but where both
were subordinated TO brilliant CONVEX
sation. The dinner is chiefly respon-
sible for the cultivated art of ex-
tempOre conversation. At a dance one
is limited to jerky sentences. The
dance is the thing. At cards ones
whole attention is absorbed by the play
or the comments of ones partners be-
come too tart to be identified as scin-
tillant conversation.
But the dinner. with its comfort of
food, its celebrating influence, its ex-
quisite table appointments, its dainty
dishes and congenial company, has al
ways been a scene Of repartee, clever,
light and bright.
When wines were banned by legisla.
ton more emphasis was. Of course,
placed upon food. When diners began
20 accumulate avoirdupois they blamed
the dinner.
Is the situation only to be saved by
some ingenious hostess who will prom.
isc her guests to present anti-fat
menus ?-Portland Oregon Journal.

appreciated the power, resources and
valuable traits of the American people
more keenly than he. What he meant
was that standardization, regulation
and unification had robbed the Ameri-
cans of their birthright Of individuality.
II that could have been said with a
degree Of truth years ago, before the
war, what might now be said along the
same line?
Regulation and unificatien and stand
ardization have all but gone mad in
their control over our people. From
end to end and top TO bottom of the
country we are a nation Of standardized
ed units. A stranger, suddenly set
down in Des Moines, Wichita, Bing-
hamton, Pueblo, Wheeling or Glens Falls
could not tell one from the other.
From a business point of view, and
from the standpoint of nationality, this
is not so bad. But we need to fight
with might and main against the eX-
tension of this sort of thing over what
ever inner citadel contains the heart
and soul. When thoughts, minds and
opinion are standardized the ayerag-
ing is commonly done upon the basis
of the least intelligent.-Albany Knick-

THE POOR RICH MAN.

To The Editor:
There is a lot Of Quibbling now among
the preachers since one Of their number,
a Rev. Mr.. Grant, has questioned the
divinity of Christ. He described Christ
as a man Of beautiful character. Now
what l would like TO know is, why We
want 10 make so much fuss about the
divinity of Christ? The thing is he was
q wonderful man-one whose doctrine
we should adopt and whose teachings
we should heed. But we don't do it
We come far from the mark.
When / read Christ's doctrine / don't
think of him as a diyine--1 think OF
him as a mana mans man. Christ was
the poor mans friends. He was the
friend of the needy. i can't see how a
rich person can reconcile himself with
Christ, for Christ was beneath a rich
mans notice. The same thing would
apply today. A rich man has no time
for n man of the character of Christ.
BY q rich man l mean such as we term
"A successful business man." Christ
was not n business" man. Christ was
a labOring mana carpenter. Christ was
q socialist. His doctrine was that We
should share our possessions with our
felowman. He said when We have two
coats to give our fellowman one. What
is this but socialism?
Instead of haggling over the divinity
Of Christ we should follow his teach
ings-not for any reward that We may
expect in heaven, but for the good We
can do for mankind while We are down
here on earth. and because it II 80"
that we do good. l can't see how a
rich man-One of our successful bust
ness men," who is piling up worldly
goods down here on earth, can expect
TO go to heaven, for he is not in accord
with Christ's doctrine. Christ's Ian
guage is plain and cannot be misinter-
preted. His language is so simple a
child can understand it. II the rich
man-our successful business man
would put out this divinity stuff and
buckle down TO humanity" they would
come nearer TO following Christ's doc
trine. But no, they aspirt TO worldly
pleasures. They want good things TO
eat and drink, good clothes to wear,
They want to make a splurge in society
They want to ride in fine limOusines-
and of course, they could not do that
if,they were poor but at the same time
they claim to love Christ. 1t does not
seem to dovetail. l can't see the con-
sistency of the thing.
1t may be needless for me to say that
am not rich man. If were l guess
! wouldn't be writing this letter.
guess l would have my limousine and &c
TO church like all the other rich mel
and put on a goody-goody face, while
keep my eye peeled for a chance to put
over a good business deal. Queer, how
we love Christ and then will not bear
the cross. No We will hire somebody
else to bear the cross for us. We would
rather play lawn tennis, or golf or ride
in automobiles. That is easier thar
carrying a cross.

JOURNALISTIC CONVERSATIONS

A newspaper man, whether reporter
or editor, encounters more varieties OF
human nature than even clergyman,
physician, lawyer or a politician.
And he has the advantage or disad-
vantage of seeing human nature under
conditions in which it makes no at
tempt to disguise itself. or, if it does,
unconsciously gives itself away. That's
what makes the newspaper business so
interesting and so entertaining to the
snapshotters of the press. They have
many unpleasant experiences, but there
is a certain consolation in the unpub-
lished humor Of their vocation. in the
comic pictures which they collect for
their mental art galleries. As few men
are heroes to their Wallets, so few of
those who figure in the public eye are
able to conceal their personal limitations
and amusing weaknesses from the APP
praising estimate of the newspaper ex-
pert.
If the newspaper mans sense Of
humor we're not highly developed, and if
he did not grow a hide of extra thick
ness as a protection to his feelings
his sensibilities would be deeply wound
ed twenty times a day. As it is, the
shafts and arrows Of misconstruction
are a joy and delight, TO him.
The unintentional comedy Of outside
criticism is a perpetual stirnulant and
rejuvenator in a profession which large
ly lives on its nerves-not nerve"
kind friends, though by your smiling
you would seem to say so."-Baltimore
Sun

claimed they were not infidels. And
now, evolution has SO evoluted that
We have in the city of Austin in this
great state Of Texas, a goodly num-
Der of men who say, they are not yet
ready to insult the brainy men of our
schools and great universities by pro-
hibiting the teaching of the evolution
theory. Some OF them doubtless feel
that the evolution hypothesis is cor
rect or we are without hypothesis
as to the origin of the universe.
The iron persistence and courage OF
"infidels" has done a great work in
largely taking from mankind their silly
beliefs in magic, myth and miracle and
in lieu t.ereof has given worthwhile
theories and propositions worthy of our
highest and hottest thought.
Evolution or, rather in the words OF
the gentleman from Navarro, that vi
ciOus and infamous doctrine of infideli-
ty," does not now and never did teach
what the gentleman from Navarro says
il teaches Evolution is continuous pro-
grcssive change. according to certain
laws and by means of resident forces.
Note how different that is from the
statement made by the gentleman from
Navarro when he lost his The Sun DO
Move" legislation.
These evolutionists, now called "in-
fidels," think they know some few
things and among others they say, and
affirm, that there is a principle which
is a bar against all information, which
is proof against all arguments, and
which cannot fail to keep man in
everlasting ignorance. That principle
is condemnation before investigation. :"
And these same so-called "infidels'
further say that they hold it to be
wrong for any one to state that he
believes in the objective truth of any
proposition unnless he has evidence
which reasonably supports his belief. y"
All of which, if a man keep pure and
undefiled, means that he will not de-
part from the truth. These evolution
lists never make use of opprobious cpl
thets: they realize that there is much
heat and no light in that course. They
do ont care to excite the wonder Of
staring stupidity nor TO catch the ap-
plause of gaping Ignorance; they pre-
fer to advance theories and state prop
ositions which the worlds best minds
may invest with their purest and high
est thought.
Evolution does not teach the non
existence of God; on the contrary, 1t
distinctly teaches that this universe is
one of law and order and that the
existence of an invisible and eternal
power back Of all phenomena is the
most certain of all our items of knowl'
edge" Call this power God, If you like,
but. giving it a name will not change
the fact that it is forever unknowable.
Be it known of all men that, in
science the doctrine of evolution has
won its battle. Today no scientist Of
any standing rejects the fundamental
postulates of the theory Of evolution.
Preachers and laymen everywhere are
accepting it and see in it a great new
light and a great enlargement and en-
richment of the whole realm of relig-
ious ideas. w. X. BAYLOR.

Bring The Troops Home

Inasmuch as the differences between
France and the United States, as
result of the Ruhr venture, could not
be reconciled there was nothing Tor
this country to do but to bring the
troops back home, editors agree.
"All the entente powers, as well Gs
the German government" the Ricn-
mond News Leader holds, Expressed
the belief that the presence of Amer
lean troops on the Rhine reduced the
friction due to the occupancy and had
n general salutary effect. Now that
complications may arise it is proper
that America withdraw" The action
also was compelled. the New York
Herald is convinced. despite the TACT
Ikat there is nothing in international
relations that coull be more distress
ing to the American people than to find
themselves at odd. with France OF any
question. America cannot understand
the unwillingness OF France TO ac'.ept
the advice of, or to welcome tho judg-
ment of the United States on the far
reaching questions confronting her. v
Expediency. however, is the only lea
son given for the withdrawal, Thc NV
York Times points out in criticizm,; thu
action at this particular moment, and
il feels that "there IS something Sa!-
DOME in the fact that II IS the army
transport St Mihiel, which is to bring
back our soldiers. Our first independ-
cnt and successful battle in France IS
thus linked up with our final and I'M
explained withdrawal"
The Philadelphia Public Ledger re.
fuses to endorse this opinion, agreeing
that the action "opens a breach be
tween France and America but in
sisting that lit has been coming a long
| time. France has Iepulscd her best
friend. America. She is lstranged from
Ter comrade, Great Britain. She has
put aside the restraining hands Of all

Jail.
That means that every one of those
men will be in danger until the statute
of limitations or something of the sort
wipes those suspended sentences off the
slate. II one of those bubbles wants TO
treat himself TO one Of the regular
monthly family rows which keeps the
atmosphere cleared in so many OF the
best regulated homes he is going to
think twice before doing it, suddenly
recalling that his wife saw him rolling
for the smokes only the dag before. IL
he wants to roar about some seeming
bit of feminine extravaganza it will
pay him to pause and reflect that friend
spouse was not only present but a sad
eyewitness the other evening when he
dropped nineteen bucks playing bridge.
Probably the wives of all those mon
were either present at the card party
at which they were arrested or were
back home polishing up their lucky
charms and praying that hubby would
bring home dividends. but what Of that?
Don't the divorce courts show us every
day how easily husbands and wives can
forget past collisions when they once
get bitter at each other?
II is clear that there is only one
way for those thirty HOLLYWOOD men to
be safe. And that way, drastic and
