eral." Despite the acerbities Of Anglo
Irish relations, the powers that be
punctiliously observe the ofncial niceties.
Thus Governor General Mcneil walks
the plank amid all the proprieties for
such occasions duly provided.
Under the tenuous pact Of union
which retains the Irish Free state
within the framework Of the United
Kingdom the Dublin cabinet has the
sole right to nominate the governor
general. The King has no power either
to control or veto the nomination.
Some time before last Springs elec-
ton, which put Mr.. de Valera in Office,
the Republican leader foreshadowed
that one Of his first acts would be to
abolish the governor generalship and
amalsamate that post with that OF
president of the Council. the chief ex-
ecutiveship OF the Irish Free State,
which Mr.. de Valera now holds. Later
he said he thought he would maintain
the ofice, which is primarily decorative,
because some symbc. denoting the
headship OF t.9 country had It's uses
for ceremonial OCCASIONS. Now the
tenperamentzr apostle Of Irish inde-
pendence rubs salt in the wounds Of
the British yokemaster by suggesting
that he himself may take over the
governor generals job.
Mr.. de Valera offers John Bulls
other island this pin-prick while the
quarrel with the London government
over the oath OF allegiance and land
annuities still RACES. The British can
say q good deal about the Free States
Manhattan-born President, but they ut
least cannot charge him with lack OF
intestinal fortitude.

An old man consents to eat breakfast
under q mango tree in far-on India
and q sigh Of relief goes round the
world. Mahatma Gandhi by his recent
fast bends both the British Empire and
the haugty Hindus in great measure to
his will, in the political arrangements
for representation Of the ''uatouch-
ables."
THE Mahatma's apparent success is
an impressive demonstration of the
survival of the force of personal infiu-
ence in the worlds affairs" says the
Boston Evening Transcript. That 'one
need not approve Gandhi's political
strategy or concede that wisdom marks
all his contentious in order that one
may recognize moral sublimity in his
devotion to his peoples political and
economic advancement" is the tribute
of the Chicago Daily News. Paying high
tribute to the personality of Gandhi,
the Kansas City Times declares: He
emerges as the most powerful OF living
leaders. His ordeal will enhance his
prestige abroad as certainly as 1t will
consolidate his authority in India.
Neither Stain nor Mussolini could have
performed such a feat by sheer force
Of personality" this paper continues,
noting that his threat to starve him
self compelled Hindu leaders to reach
a compromise on a subject which In
wolves prejudices of centuries"
AS the Memphis Commercial Appeal
puts it: TT is strange that the self
abstinence from food Of wizened old
man should divert the attention of a
great empire from other momentous
matters. 1t is strangest of all that
representatives of the highest caste
Hindus should cast aside religious ira
ditions and convictions of 5000 years
in touching elbows with 'untouchables'
to the end OF inducing one man to
take food" And the Providence Eve
ming Bulletin declares: There Is no
denying, after this exhibition, the tre-
mendous power that the shrunken
Mahatma wields." The Baltimore Sun
estimates the victory thus: 1T may well
be said to mark the highest point yet
attained in his dramatic career as the
most powerful leader millions Of Hindus
have ever had" The Dubuque Cath
olic Daily Tribune remarks: How this
Indian leader shames the worlds states
men In this universal dark hour Of
economic misery! He suffers personally
to gain the most vital decision lot the
welfare of his country, while the So
called Christian leaders Of the world
powers think only of settling their diff
ferences by force, by arming and by
butchery of their nationals, keeping
their own precious selves far away from
danger"
The caste system in India Is vitality
affected by the new agreement. as many
papers point out. "If Gandhi has won
a great victory, 1t Is a victory over his
fellow Hindus," attests the Cincinnati
Times-Star, which pictures "the en1aci-
ated little brown man" as pitting HIM
self against the accumulated religious
prejudice Of centuries. The Occident
cannot but wish him well in his task,
compared to which the labors of Her
cules were child's play" concludes that
paper. As the New York Herald Trib-
une sees it: 1.-THE whole complex of
ideas and institutions which Westerners
have built up In order to enable them
to deal after fashion with their own
society simply does not apply to another
society. The gulf Is impossible. India

Heartbreak House.

Just short of the midhour Of the
night, late wanderers in Executive ave-
nue. saw the White House empty and
quiet under the dark old trees and the
high, disinterested stars Of the Autumn
sky. A brooding silence hung over the
place, vicarious silence softly broken
now and again by the rattle Of q street
car at a distant crossing or the rhythmic
whirr OF an unseen motor in the
Ellipse. The prisoner was away Aboard
speeding express train, he was hurry
ing back to the State where his life
began to exhibit the fruits Of that life
to the people whose servant he is. But
his shadow was at home, deathless
tenant of the walls where the shades Of
his predecessors also linger.
Washingtons home 1t never was but
he saw 1t built. Jefferson and Jackson,
Lincoln and Grant. Roosevelt and Will
son. all labored and suffered there. and
knew it as a Heartbreak House Bitter
the lessons learned beneath its roof, and
bitter the pain Of the learning. No man
ever has dwelt there unburdened by
crushing care, unbowed by sorrow. Each
has paid with the red mintage Of his
heart for the dubious right Of tempo
rary residence there. Lincoln, Garfield
and Mckinley were murdered: Harri-
son, Taylor and Harding died in ONCE
Polk, Arthur and Wilson lived only q
few months after retirement; johnson
was impeached, and Grant and Roose-
welt were threatened with impeachment.
Such is the price demanded by fate,
exacted by the people, in return for the
honor of tenancy A prison cell, tor
ture chamber. the privilege of abiding
there is sought only by men who deeply
love their country or are driven by
ambition.
There have been men Of both types
who have tramped It's time-stained
floors, but to every one Of them
the same treatment has been ac-
corded. Each heart has been hurt by
popular malice each brain wearied by
Grass ingratitude. Not any President
ever has pleased all classes or gone un-
assailed, unslandered, unvilified by the
mischief Of cruel tongues. To enter the
White House has been to enter the dock,
voluntarily to 60 on daily public trial,
with conviction and punishment assured
and possible reward to be expected only
from remote posterity.
This time next year one or the other
of two men will be the nominal master,
the actual prisoner, Of the mansion.
Perhaps it will be the Iowa farm boy
who came to 1t in 1929, and through a
devastating crisis has learned its rou-
tine and its limitations. Perhaps it will
be the present Governor of New York,
who is not dismayed by its exactions.
Next month the people will decide which
Of the two candidates is to be inundated
on the national altar The philosopher
acquainted with history, will congratu-
late the loser.

And found my journeys end.

DARYL Production Cnt

THE dairying industry suffered somewhat of a
decline during the first six months of this
year, with production falling below the first six
months of 1891, despite the fact that there were
more producing COWS this year.
This loss of dairy efficiency was due in part
to q retrogression in the quality of the herds
with more low-grade cows per herd than the
year before Poor pasture and inferior feed con-
ditions in some of the large milk producing
centers was largely responsible for the decline,
and the result may be that fewer producers
per herd will result with resultant bettering Of
prices for milk which have shown a decline In
trend, particularly in the manufactured milk
Fluid milk prices have maintained a
fairly steady level, but the milk products, such
as butter, cheese and preserved milks, have

he had left the canary. He stopped and seemed
surprised and looked at the car, and started
across the road
Beat it, May!" Fenderton cried. "Over the
wall!' and he reached into the rumble seat
and took the canary cage by the ring, lifted IL
out and sprang with youthful agility over the
wall into the park. The next moment May
was crouching beside him. They crept under
a sheltering spirea bush.
Hey you!" shouted Mr.. Durfy. Bring back

Behind the bush Fenderton pressed Mays
arm, commanding silence.
"All right" called Mr.. Durfy. BE fool
if you want to. I'm taking your ca-; If you
want it back, bring back that canary"
Mr. Durfy was in the snappy little roadster.
The self-starter ground loudly. the snappy little
roadster started instantly, and Fenderton got
out from under the spirea bush and stood up.
Then he held up the canary cage and looked
at it.
"Gee-gosh!" he exclaimed and it was an
agonized cry, for in lifting the cage from the
rumble seat the bottom of the cage had sep
arated from the upper portion of the cage and
there was canary in the cage
Listen, May" Fenderton said. "This is
pretty serious proposition, the way it looks to
me. How much does canary cost?"
Il don't know, Fenderton,' May said. Five
