THE ELECTION
RETURNS in erin
Points to Victory for Men
Who Believe in a
Republic
LIKE UNITED STATES

The elections returns in ireland
indicate victory for DeValera and
the republican party. This shows
that cause for which men and
women are willing to die cannot be
wiped out by coercion. To the
credit of both parties 1t must be
said that they played fair. Co.'S
grave and his associates made no
bones of the statement that they
believed In the oath to the crown
Of Britain and other features of the
Anglo-lrish Treaty. The slogan of
DeValera and republicans was no
oath to any king and ireland an
Independent nation.
IL things turn out as they look
now and DeValera succeeds Cos
grave as president of the executive
committee of the Irish Free State.
he should take lesson from the
mistakes of the deposed leader and
not look upon everybody who diff
ferS from him as Il criminal, rail-
road him off to Jail and turn him
over to a firing squad.
Whatever turn things take from
now on lovers of liberty all over the
world will hope that the republi-
can victory Is sufficiently decisive
to give the party safe working
majority. If this should be so and
they legislate wisely. who can tell
but the long standing feud between
Britain and Ireland will be bridged
and that instead Of surly, neigh
Dor, Ireland may become friendly
ally of Britain on her own motion
instead of under the threat of
'cruel war;. The two countries
have much in common and 1t Is
about time they buried the axe and
got together, n condition that never
Will exist until Ireland Is given alb
solute independence.
DeValera stands well with his
own people, the best test possible
of mans real character. His
party made it point to see that
his election was secure. With this
end in view he ran for reelection
in historic Clare, the district that
elected Daniel O'Connell hundred
years ago.

and some others made by eyes quite round. Each of us thought in his heart of hearts: "If only could become like him" And in my childish brain there arose the following fancy. Once I can beat boys of my own age now, why should I not be able to beat the other men when I am a manl
 And that was the beginning For reasons of economy we were forbidden to wear boots or shoes. Therefore, I can ran in my bare feet behind the trans. In the dark evenings often fell on the slippery streets and hurt my feet and legs; my knees show still many mark from those days, but did not mind. I ran because I had to run. When I was 12 years old had to cut out all meat, and yet had in those days to be heartily thankful for hash even. Tn my days at the common school I was great coffee fiend, so that I even often gathered up the grounds from the bottom of the pot but when I really got inter ested in athletics, T sacrificed even that. Tea, tobacco and alcohol never came in question.
 Old Swimming Hole
 In the summers I went to the swimming school. The distance there was four miles, but T made nothing of it-twice a day!
 And, If the distance was long to the swimming school, the woods were near at hand. There I spent hours upon hours, examining plants and birds. I gathered plants for school children who would not be bothered with the work I was a great one for finding birds nests
 In Gods lovely nature I have spent many a quiet minute. Even now, when I come home from a sporting trip, I go there. And there I always find new interest and energy.
 On both my American trips I lived in New York near the Bronx park I loved the quietness of the park and liked to be there With out those walks in the park could hardly have stood the winter of 1925. At any rate. could not have performed my athletic work with so small losses as did
 Spending Leisure Time
 At home speak still less than outside. We never talk athletics, nor do I take any sporting news paper. I read books, study the great happenings in the world in the newspapers, and with a cer- tain interest I follow politics. My father used to take part in party politics, but I have never done so. I am no friend of company, not even visitors.
 The authors who have interested me most are Tolstoy, Maeterlinck and Emerson. have also read profusely such authors as London, Poe. Kipling, Dumas, etc. Of course I like our own native literature.

BAREFOOT DAYS

Through the cracks in our fence | followed the boys in the neigh boring yard, how they played, romped and fought. Now and then I even ventured over to them. I soon found out my gift for running, because in that I was better than, the others right from the beginn- ing. Among those boys I got the first idea for athletics. Only 8 years old, made it the main pur- pose of my life to be great run ner. We had got into our hands in those days a sporting journal appearing once @ month, and we swallowed with avidity the won derful tales told there of the re- suits achieved by professional run hers in matches.

Youth Found Dead
In Springfield
BOYD McNEAL, SON OF MRS. w
WALKE. IRWIN, IDENTIFIED
BY MOTHER-LEFT HOME
WEEKS AGO

Positive identification of the youth
whose body was discovered Wednes-
day morning in a garage in Spring
field, as Boyd McNeal, 20, of Clarks-
burg, Ross county, was made Wednes-
day afternoon by McNeal's mother,
Mrs. Walter Wake, of Irwin.
The mother went to Springfield after
being notified by Coroner Theodore F.
Schaefer that a youth answering the
description of her son was found dead.
The mother was traced through pa
pers found in McNeal's pockets, one
of which stated: "July 30, 1882. Left
home. Irwin, o." Police officials of
Irwin aided Coroner Schaefer in To-
eating the mother.
The coroner and police were con-
vinced that the youths death did not
result from foul play of any kind, and
that he apparently died from indiges-
ton.
Mrs. Wake said that her son left
home the latter part of July with no
definite destination ahead. 1t was be-
lieved probable that he was in search
of work, and having no money OF
friends in Springfield, located the gar
age as a place to rest.

played at the honor camp diamond.
In the Wednesday evening contest,
the prison farm outfit started cLs in
the opening inning to make it two
games straight, Peyton scoring on hits
ard an error.
The auto company team came back
with bang, Thomas and Brown scor-
ing on Dooley's single in the first
frame. The London team scored
the third and final run in the fourth,
Shaw getting a double and scoring
when Dooley grounded to Hart and
the latter overthrew first.
Cory pitched superb ball for the
Madison County Auto company team,
tanning four, and had excellent sup
port. Szymanski, pitcher for the non
or camp, twirled a good game, but his
support was ragged enough for the
London motorists to take advantage OF
and win.
A record crowd witnessed the game
which was handled by Herb Lanigan
