BY MARTIN MORIARTY

IN 1908, guided not only by
l his experience in the class
struggle of the workers in
Ireland and America, but also
)y his knowledge of Irish ma
ionalist organizations here,
lam els Connolly challenged
the domination of middle class poll
ticians over his countrymen through
the organization of the Irish So
cial;St Federation.
The political name of the organi-
zation may not have been so appro-
pirate but certainly the idea behind
it was. For this was the role of the
Irish in America as Connolly saw
it. They we're made tools of Tie
American empire, whose demagogues
found Irish hatred of England most
useful in Americas plans to con-
quer the earth. And the Tammany
orator who roared most about Brit
ish oppression in ireland was most
silent about the oppression-that

Why are we exempt under the

There are no company unions over

HOW MANY WORDS

A British professor says 1t requires
q knowledge of $4,000 words to read
the London Times intelligently and
adds that there are Sa0 words. with
which a person limited to that mum
Der could say anything he would be
likely to want to say, and SAY 1t
perfectly"
The evident inference is that the
erndite London newspaper employs
$3.50 words that are superiluous,
mere excess baggage. Az least. that
would be the inference If we accept
literally the theory that the best
writing is that which says some
thing in the simplest possible sort Of
way.
But Of ourse 1t Is not always lit
orally true that q worthwhile thing
Inay be said perfectly ia the sim
nlest sort Of way, especially If the
sayer or writer Is to be limited to
$40 words. The perfection possible
by that method Is no more than what
Is implied in the statement that a
perfect piece Of music may be
written with eight notes all III one

chief pleasures Of living, though
many do not realize it consciously,
Is found In the fine shades Of mean
ing, sound and connOtafion that sep
arate one word from another very

The London Times, we suspect,
will not resent the British profess
sor's reflection on Its surplus word

sort Of simplicity he had In mind

Why Hospitals Use
a Liquid Laxative

Hospitals and doctors have always
used liquid laxatives. And the public
is fast returning to laxatives in LIQUID
form. Do you know the reasons?
The dose Of a liquid laxative can be
measured. The action can thus be
regulated to suit individual need. 1t
forms no habit; you need not take a
double dose" a day or two later.
Nor wiH a mid liquid laxative iTritate
The kidneys. -
The right dose of a liquid laxative
brings a mor natural movement, and
there is no discomfort at the time, or
after.
The wrong cathartic may often do
more harm than good.
A properly prepared liquid laxative
like DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
brings safe relief from constipation.
It gently helps the average persons
bowels until nature restores them to
regularity. DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsln is an approved liquid laxative
which all druggists keep ready for
use. 1t makes an ideal family laxa-
tive; effective for all ages, and may

Football Flips

Portland, Ore (UP)-Preview of Pacific Coast football camps:
 Southern California will depend upon a veteran backfield, strong, ast-charging line and the dyamic thrusts of quarterback Cotton" Warburton in it's drive for the con- ference pigskin title. The Tro- jans, coached by Howard H. Jones, formerly of Yale, Syracuse, Iowa and Duke, will have new men at end, tackle, guard and center posi- tions. The greatest loss from the line through graduation was Aaron Rosenberg, All-American guard, Bob Erskine, tackle, and Ford Palmer, end....
 Stanford opens the 1884 football season with a team favored to re- tain the title which was held joint ly with Oregon and Southern Cal ifornia last year. The Cards are a veteran team. Great all-round backfield strength and fast line make the Indians dangerous on offense and strong on defense. The graduation of Bill Corbus, All- Ame.ican guard, and his educated toe will hurt. Bob Grayson, for mer Portland Prep star, is expected to be the big gun in the backfield.
 California holds promise of an- other strong team. Coach Bill (Navy) Ingram is again insisting his team will top the conference. California has improved under In- grams membership, but always falls just short of reaching antici- pated heights....
 Increased reserve strength will make Washington State a constant threat. The Cougars started most games strongly in 1893 but begged down when regulars were forced out. Especially apparent was the lack of reserves when the team played in Southern California;.
 Coach Jimmie Phelan expects big things from his Washington Huskies and their Notre Dame sys- tenn. The return of Burl Bufkin. defensive star, has strengthened the team. Bufkin entered West Point last spring, but decided to return to Seattle to complete his university esucation.. -.
