It would be great to secure freedom for Ireland, to stop the civil slaughter by a “Pax vobiscum!” and make that unhappy island “the little bit of heaven” it was meant to be, but meanwhile, Wouldn’t Britain be.justified in offering her ami- cable offices in adjusting our race problem, which it is to be feared results in quite as shocking out; rages as ever have happened in Ireland? It would be gratifying to release eighteen mil- lion Koreans from the overlordship of the Japa- nese, but meanwhile there are ten millions of Fili- pinos who are asking when they are to be given their promised independence. In short, it would be exhilarating to our national! conceit and importance to go Galahading up and down the earth rescuing, restoring, freeing and independencing, if we didn’t have so darn much to do at home! J FLATTERY Disraeli believed that every man is susceptible to flattery. ‘And when it comes to royalty,” he said, “lay it on with a trowel.” _ Most persons have little opportunity to observe the effect of flattery on royalty. But more than one who reads this has noticed that flattery can be applied rather thick to some less exalted hu- mans and lose none of its effect. It has been said that to pretend to be above flattery is, as a rule, “merely the most delectable way of flattering one’s self.” When a man: says he does not like being flat- tered, often he means that he does not like being flattered in the presence of others who may laugh secretly to see him fooled. “ Perhaps it isn’t a question of whether a man can be flattered, but how, easily can he be flattered. Just the same people are becoming more sophis- ticated, and there is reason to believe that most persons ar¢@ not so easily flattered as in the lifetime of Disraeli. As for women, well, it may be possible to apply flattery with a trowel. But it is safer to avoid the obvious in compliments. At least that is the opinion of one clever woman. Four rules she for- mulated_are quoted here for what they seem to be worth: ° “Be intellectual with pretty women. “Be frivolous with the intellectual. “Be serious with young girls. “Be saucy with old ladies.” _WHO GETS IT? “TheFes plenty of room at the top.” Suchdé the admonition that greets every school- boy and girlvand its intended to spur on thése to whom life’s battle may appear to be a losing one. “Honesty, industry and thrift, with plenty of room at the top for the deserving ones.” Such has been * the creed of modern industrial life. How much room is this “plenty” that that slips so glibly off the torigtes‘of moralists and econom- ists alike? a a Returns of income in the United States for Dec. 31, 1918, just published by the government, show that 4,425,077 persons paid income taxes during that year. There were that many people in the United States who had incomes exceeding $1,000 per annum if single and $2,000 per year if mar- ried. Neafly 3,000,000 of them were heads of families. ' There are estimated to be about 21,000,- 000 ‘families in the United States. If it be as- sumed that an income of $2,000 per annum is “the top” in American industrial life today, there were eighteen millions of families below “the top” compared to three millions who were at the top. But an income of $2,000 per annum scarcely can! be considered as achieving the topmost rung of | the ladder of success. Assuming $5,000 per annum income to represent reasonable success in the battle of life, it is found that there were only about 480,000 persons who made returns on incomes in excess of that amount. They were less than one-half of one per cent of the population of the United States, and they were about two and one-quarter per cent of the 21,000,- 000 families in the United States. . | POISON GAS A poison gas so deadly and so powerful that a| single charge of it from a bomb thrown from an airplane over a city like New York would in ten| minutes exterminate the entire population of five million human beings—such a gas, it is claimed, has been discovered by the experts who have been : \ ; to only two men, both living and working in Wash-| MONDAY, DEC. 6, 1920 devoting themselves to this specialty! Its form- ula, so important in its frightfulness, is known} ington, D. C. The Reverend John Haynes Holmes of Brooklyn has spoken in a public speech about this same dis- covery and says he has talked to a man who knows all about it at first hand. Dr. Holmes, who is a person of careful speech, uses this discovery as an example of the horrible character of any future war that may be bred._ The story of this gas goes on to say that»two tanks of it were manufactured in one of the ex- periment stations and that recently—in such ter- ror did the experts themselves stand of this hor- rible stuff—it was decided by the War Depart- ment to get rid of it and a warship was borrowed from the navy and the two tanks were taken far out to sea where at night they were heavily weighted and secretly sunk. * There was something in the peate treaty about cutting out poison gas from future wars, but reports which come from the British war office is conitnuing its work in poison gas manufacture and our country has not entirely desisted. DISCRIMINATION The double: standard for men and women has been enacted into law in at least one instance. In the case of an alien woman, if she engages “GENTLEMEN, BE SE ATED” AED ehh \LINCOLN WOMAN 'So Much Stronger Since Taking | Tanlac.

Instances have happi : unmarried, have become mothers before they were here three years. In some cases the father of their child was an American; in other cases he) was an alien. In all cases the woman suffers, the penalty being deportati8n. There is no law to punish an American for his offense, nor is it pos-| sible to deport the father of the alien woman’s child even though he occupy: the same. légal status as the mother. i‘ One instance came to the attention of immigraz, tion officials in which an American, a married man, had brought a French girl’to America who was soon to become a mother by hm. The girl was allowed .to stay here till the child was born and then she was deported. There was another instance in which a man and. a woman, both aliens, were on their way to Chicago. She was detained at Ellis Island on a charge of immorality and the man was allowed to proceed to Chicago. They had, been married at sea by the captain, but the immigration officials wouldn’t respect that ceremony. Finally the hus- band, by enlisting the aid of friends in Chicago got his wife admitted to the country.

State Auditor Karl Kositzky wants his office examined by the state officials before he turns it, over to his successor on January first. wants to go out of office with a clean slate so that there will be no come-backs. ‘ This request is in striking contrast to the officials of the Bank: of North Dakota who want to stave off any examina- tion. The state audtcr is perfectly willing to have Fraziers appointees examine h‘s office. This shows that our state auditor is not afraid of the calcium light of public scrutiny upon his books which is in great contrast to others who seem to be afraid of their books.—Valley City Times Record. ECHO ANZ WERS! e We hear from time to time of the various and sundry millions the lengue—and ‘Brof. Ladd es-|° pecially— are in the habit of saving the farmers. Wonder how many millions Ladd “saved”. the farmers when he advised them to refuse $2.50 for wheat? Thousands of them took Ladd’s advice, and c&n get about half that much now. Too bad Townley or some other handy, man with a pencil doesn’t figure out how much Ladd “saved the} Chamber of Commerce” by his fool advice. If Ladd gets in trouble with Townley, Art. will sure have it “on” the professor. All Townley will have to do is to claim that Ladd took advantage of the trust reposed in him and sold out to the Chamber of Commerce to give bum advice to his many.ad- mirers.—Linton County Record, “® BUD LEARNS A TRADE “What's the matter?” asked Builder Beaver gruffly. \“Oh, Nick’s caught.” cried Nancy- “Please, Mr. Beaver, can’t you get him loose?” Nick stopped hopping | suddenly. “Why, what's happened?” he asked in Builder examined the astonishment. “I’m not caught at all.
