First Irish Delegate
Is at Geneva ParIey

At o recent meeting Of the Council
Of the League Of Nations at Geneva the
Irish Free State was represented for
the first time. The Irish representative
was Patrick MacGiIligan. minister for
external affairs. He was the chief dele
gate Of the State at the recent Inn
perial conference. He attaches special
Importance to the Free States interna-
tional position. He believes that this
should be valued by all parties in the
State, as every Irishman desires to see
his country recognized by foreign ma
tons.
with good representatives in Ave or
six capitals Of the world and Jealous
delegations at Geneva, he nays the
Free State can quickly secure Ghe good
opinion of the world for its continued
and vigorous existence as an inde-
pendent state in the comfy Of nations
and that the development of external
trade and commerce depends very
largely on the success with which that
purpose is pursued.
The acceptance Of the principle Of
coequality with Great Britain in 1895
and its confirmation at the imperial
conference Of 1880 leaves the Free
State, he declares, free to develop to
the fullest extent, and since develop
ment and progress in every sphere OF
national life are the surest and only
means Of achieving the happiness OF
the people and the ultimate unity Of
Ireland every citizen can satisfy his
highest national ideals by working hard
at his own task.

Macaroni has been abolished by the

"Beans and 1entils," he says, care

Marinetti himself has not yet discov-
cred the process, but he says that IL
scientists were intelligent they would
have done it long ago. They must set
to work in all their laboratories and
learn how to separate the calories ana

them up. Food must be revolutionized

What does he want?" asked
John.
"He wants to read you a

John threw his hands in the

troubles putting on one play
without letting some unknown
author inflict another.
The author returned two or
three times, but John refused
to see him.
When the job in Chicago
was done, he boarded a train
and shut himself up in a
drawing room, tired out.
There came a timid knock;
the door opened, and through
1t walked a young man with
bushy hair, who looked fresh
from the farm.
"Mr. Golden, my name is
McAvoy," he said. "You were
too busy to see me in Chicago,

were taking and I bought a
ticket and want to ride with
you as far as Cleveland. I

John fused and fumed,

experience in having sent somebody
else there.
Tuesday received a letter from st.
Louis, Missouri, Deaconess hospital,

"Well Scoop 1 am gradually re-
covering in a hospital from worry
and over exertion from my exciting
experience of two weeks ago when
upon receiving The Republican, my
home town paper, I found the pages
uncut. Imagine my fear when I rea-

those uncut pages. What had Scoop
done that the boss editor was ashamed
to have the readers see his column?
"Well, flew into frenzy trying to
get those pages open and the worry
about you and all was too much for
me, so here am. But after receiving
the paper today and reading the home
news and Scoops column, 1 feel much
better.

COUNTY AGENTS COLUMN
Agricultural Experimental Farm to
be Established in State
Cs ~ O1A4V4 H1SI
Resident County Agent,

Agricultural Experimental Farm to
be Established in State
An announcement that should prove
of wide interest to Maryland citizens
in general and those interested in the
water resources of the State in par
ticular is that the Maryland General
Assembly has granted money for the
establishment of what is believed to
be the first Agricultural Experiment
tai Farm in the world.
So that there may be no confusion
between the words agricultural" and
"agricultural", DR.. R. v. Truitt,
who is Professor of Agriculture at
the University of Maryland, College
Park, points out that agriculture"
is derived from two words "aqua",
which means water, and culture,
having to do with growing things.
Thus agriculture" deals with grow
ing things in water. The new aqui-
cultural farm should not, therefore,
be confused with the ordinary "Agri-
cultural Farm, one or more Of which
may be found in every State in the
Union. The new farm will be estab-
lished this year on some part of the
Chesapeake Bay.
It is explained that the idea behind
the movement for the establishment
of such a farm was to have some
regularly maintained laboratory
where study of the growth of oys-
tiers, clans, crabs, and other seafoods,
the annual income from which
amounts to millions of dollars for the
citizens of this State, could be made
with a view to improving the yield
and quality, and consequently, the
revenue.
The establishment of such an ex-
detrimental farm was due very largely
to the foresight of such men as Gov
ernor Richie, Swepson Earle, State
Conservation Commissioner, DR.. Truitt
and others.

tax, income tax, real estate tax, prop
erty tax, auto tax, gas tax, water tax,
light tax, street tax, school tax, syn
tax and carpet tax.
In addition to the taxes I am re-
quested and required to contribute
to every society and organization that
the inventive mind of man can mag
inc and organize. To the Society of
st. Johns, the Women's Relief, Navy
League, the Children's Home, the Po-
licemen's Benefit, the Dorcas Society,
the Y. M. C. A., the Boy Scouts, the
Jewish Relief, the Near East, the
Gold Diggers' Home, also every hos
pital and every charitable institution
in town and out of town, the Red
Cross, the Black Cross, the White
Cross, the Double Cross, the Purple
Cross and the Iron Cross.
The government has so governed my
business that do not know who owns
it. I am suspected, expected, inspect
ed, disrespected, examined, re-exam-
ined, informed, required, commanded,
and compelled, until all know is that
am supposed to provide an ineXhaus-
tible supply of money for every known
need, desire or hope of the human
race, and because I refuse to donate to
all and go out and beg, borrow and
steal money to give away, am cuss-
ed, discussed, boycotted, talked to-,
talked about, lied to, lied about, held
up, held down and robbed until am
nearly ruined, so the only reason 1
am clinging to life is to see wha the
hell is coming next.

The States of the Union, On Its
Position Respecting Poor Houses
AS Homes For The INDECENT
To the Editor of The Republican.
Maryland, in contrast to several
other States, which are doing away
with poor houses, has just passed a
bill for the establishment of two State
institutions.
When Governor Franklin D. Roose-
welt signed the bill providing for old
age pensions in New York State, Will
liam Shepherd, the noted magazine
writer, asked him if the bill were not
socialistic. Roosevelt replied, "Not
socialistic; civilized"
Under the new law Garrett will be
called upon to pay $4,000 toward the
construction of the new building for
Western Maryland, and $3.50 per year
for every inmate sent there from the
county. There are two questions to
be considered: What will give the old
people the most happiness and what
will be the most economical for the
taxpayer? We Judge others by our
selves. Ask yourself, would you
rather receive an old-age pension or
be sent to the poor house?
Any old person in Garrett county
could provide for himself with pen
sion of $3.50 per year. Maryland has
law providing for old-age pensions,
but it is not compulsory. Possibly
Garrett county could pension their old
people if they preferred that to the
poor house system. I do not know.
The sick should be sent to hospitals;
the imbeciles to institutions for the
feeble-minded; the insane to insane
asylums; the children to children's
homes, and the old people given pen
sions instead of herding them all in
one institution.
MAYHEM is the poor house for the
city of Pittsburgh. The city is now
conducting an investigation into the
management of MAYHEM. 1t is claim
ed that there is graft in the supplies
bought for MAYHEM. 1t is said that
officials are reaping rich harvests, at
the expense of the poor and the tax
payers.
The Post-Gazette sent reporter
there to investigate conditions. His
report was printed in the Post-Ga-
zette. He stated that he had been
present at many hangings and electro
cutions, and visited many jails; that
the inmates of jails have better treat
ment than the inmates of poor houses.
The food served in jails is much better
than that served in poor houses. Pris-
oners have private rooms. 1t is true
they are small and called cells, but
for their own private use nevertheless.
In jails you hear men talking, sing
ing and playing musical instruments.
In poor houses there is an atmos-
phere of gloom and dispondency.
They have nothing to look forward
to but being carried out in wicker
basket and being buried in pauper's
