It been evident for a long time that the horse was being crowded out of his sccustomed place, that he was being seen less and less on the public high- in s=plte of the manifest in- crease In the number of automobiles it s not gotten to the point where it is the have ways tsable to legislate the horse oft the rect. According to the last ceénmis there wers nearly 22,000,000 horses in the ry. the states which lead the list being with one exception west of the Missiseipp! river. This woull place the great number of horses In the farming glons and there can be little question ut what it 15 to the country- that they e gone from the cities. Horses ara 50 uncommon as to atrac attention they are far less numerous than a féw years ago. They are worlk not but they wer not being employed for the same that they were a declde or two decades ago, and while the auto is replacing them on all sides it is the experience of those engaged in the trucking business preferable for the short to the motor truek iIn that they accemplish ‘the transportation re- quirements at a less expense. That may not mean that they will be gradually replaced. but it would certalnly be an unfortunate situation to that horses could not be longer 1 in the Interest of economy but he more expensive method must adopted. Likewise it would be un: force an owner to sell his hors: and buy an auto truck when he is per- fectly eatisfled I possible that the elimniation of be Sust the se from the strests of the big cities |s desired In the Interest of speed. Possibly they prevent the auto drivers from burning up the pavements the way they desire, but If that s the case tht longer the horses are maintained on thoss streets the safer those highways are going to be. TRYING TO RELIEVE SITUATION. For a considerable period of time now efforts In behalf of the recognition of the Mexican government by this coun- try have been at a standstill. It has been set forth what this country ex- pects beforg it will be willing to extend recognition and it Is well understood what the reasons are for the attitude which is taken by this country, What seems to be an effort to get Away from the present situation is the #ppeal which has been made by ome of the leading Mexican papers to President Obregon asking that he take the Mex- lcans Into his confidgnce regarding the matter with the view to adjusting the situation. That Obregon has succeeded In doing There are plenty of swindlers who much for Mexico must be appreciated | would agree to sell a controlling Inter- &t home quite the same ag it Iy In this| est in tho Papama capal ff It country. dolng anything which would seem to be yielding to pressure from United States,| There are those who insist that the and yot thers is felt the need of ending| government loans to forelgn countries the present situation which s holding recoguition, If through a proper zmh:dlfin_rflhx’ It is fully understood what thought they could Interest some pur- & feeling exists In that republic against| chasers to put momey into ft. cana could be wisdom of the s Mexioe neads should have such help as would come from the recogni- tion of the existing government. Ex- cept possibly that he believes he knows his peopls eo Well that he can antici- vate the trouble that would follow his compliance With the demands of this government, Obregon ‘might be in- clined to give the assurance we demand. obtained through the course that the Mexican paper calls for there is the possibility that the protection ‘of the rights ,and lives of American subjects in Mexico can be assured this country. The aim seema to be 2: least to ov come the gtalled gituation which exists at the present tim¢ and the move that Is being made is being so directed 3s to bring about resuits with the least pos- sible frictlon at home, RATIFYING TREATY QN YAP, The ratificition of the treaty ocom- cerning the island of Yap means an en- dorsement of the first of the several treaties resulting frem the Washington conference that the senate has be¢n asked to declare itself on. It is not tog much to say that ratification was ex- Pected. There developed opposition which was not sufficfent either to bring about the tacking on of regervations or the refusal to ratify. Under the treaty we get all that we sought in the island, and such being the cade what more could be expected? What i fact was there about it tg present g reason for defeating 1t? W¢ have maintained our position in regard to this Pacific island, our demands were recognized :and granted and now congress has endorseld what, the conferepce delegates accom- plished upan that peint, Being the first gf the treaties to be acted upom it is natural that there should. be consideration as to what hearing the vofe may have in regard to the others, It has disclosed certain democratic gpposition and a decidedly small republican sentiment ggainst. All the senate was Rot present but in view of the fact that certain semators who were absent are known to haye been fa- | vorable, or that of the absentees a ma- fority would have voted for ratification had they been present there seems to be good reason for believing that what- ever is reported favorably by the for- elgn relations committee is likely to be favorably acted upon. In all probability the strongest oppo-| sition that will be displayed will mani-| fest itself when the four power treaty fs up for action. In view of the reser- vation which .is approyed by the com- mittee, and by the administration if a| reservation Is deemed necessary. thare are reasons for belleving that the sen- ate will express itself in regard to this document quite the same as it did con- cerning Yap and as it is expected to re- garding the other treatles which will be submitted for approval. The Yap tfea- ty vote furnishes the first definite facts; in régard to the alignment of the sen- ators concerning these matters and it| must be regarded as favorable, EASY MARKS. Just at the present time considerable effort is being devoted tp the closing of bucket shops. The reveiations which have been made concerning their opera- tions have indicated that the time 15 ripe for actlon and that there should be no continued toleration of their conduet. How long the wave will last is prob- lematical, It isn't the first one and it can be regarded as a certainty that it will not be the last time that it will be nacessary to indulge in similar clean- ups. It is becausé of the revelation of the methods employed and the losses sustained. regardléss of the fact that those who participated In such deals must have realized the chances that they were taking, that presecutions are being pushed. That there is need of | dolng all possible for the protection of those who are inclined to be carried off their feet by the offers of such opera- | tors can well be appreciated. It seems entirely possible to close up the bucket shops if it is seriously un- dertaken, but it is nc* as easy a propo- sition to send home to tnose « a credu- lous naturg that they should fight shy 1 ot such places and the individuals who run them and offer other equally if not more attractive propositions for losing money. It has been the experlence in the past that bucket shops could be closed but that they could be found do- ing business thereafter when there were those who demanded thelr presence. If there were none to be flseced bucket- shops woild not be doing a very éxten- slve business, and if those who &are fleeced had had the inclination to be on thelr guard instead of being, fascinated by lurid promises and confident that they could beat those who already had them entrapped there would be fewer gold brick opérators. i EDITORIAL NOTES, From twelve to sixteen more weeks | and the call of the briny will begin to get in its resistless work.

JOHN MACNAGHTON The most celebrated trial in connec- tion with an Irish abduction, was that of John Macnaghton, who was arrest- ed, trieq and executed for the mur- ! der of Mary Ann Knox, at a point be- | tween Londonderry and Strabana, Ire- land; about the middle of the 18th cen- tury. Abduction was, at that time, a com- mon practise in Ireland, and “abduc- tion clubs” composed of young bloods were numerous. The purpose of these gangs was to carry away heiresses holding them prisoners, each for a day | oritwo, after which, in accordance with | the ideas prevailing at the time, the honor of the family required their con- | sent to the girl's marriage to her ab- ductor. It will be seen, however, that othér elements entered into the Mac- Naghton case, which cast a most il- luminating light on certain social con- ditions in Ireland at that period. This affair is in all its details a painful and melancholy story. Mac- naghton was of no mean family, be- ing descended from an ancient Scot- tish clan of that name which several centuries before had settled in Antrim, He owned a large estate; many of his near relations held high offices and one of his uncles was the County Magistrate of Antrim. Fllucated at Trinity College, Dublin, he there cul- tivated 4 strong desire for gambling, which ultimately was the cause of his crime. He associated with the rank and nobility of both England and Ire- land to whom he was introduced by | the first Earl of Massarcene, | After a few years of riotous living ! and games of chance, he had exhaust- | ed all his money, sold haif of his es- | tate and mortgaged the other half. He | then married a' lady with a fortune ! of $250.000, but before the ceremonsy| ds made him take an oath to abstain from gambling. This | he did for two years, but crazed with the fever he agaln started with the: result that his wife's fortune soon fol- lowed his. and the wife, falling into nervous disorder, soon died. Macnaghton then aid his attentions to young Miss Knox, who was at that time 15 years old, and who promised to marry him if he could but get the consent of ner father. This, however, Was not obtained, and moreover, upon was prohibited from entering the house the request being made to the papa, he In the future. Not content. but watch- ing his opportunity, he one day enter- e the house when the father was ab- sent. He found the girl in a retired room in company with a young boy and there he pressed her to marry him. Jocularly pulling out a prayer- book, he read the marriage service and so terrified the girl that she made the responsgs, but to every one of which she added, “provided her fath- or congented.” Later, aftér a battle of words in & newspaper in which Mr. Knox de- nounced Macnaghton and the latter cautioning every man not to mary his “lawful wife.” the case was takeén to Londonderry. At this trial, Mac- naghton kept away the youth who Was present at the sham marriage, Whose name was Hamilton, and con- sequently nothing could be proved, as he was the only’ witness. The case was then moved first to the Metro- politan Court of Armagh, and then to a court of delegates In Ireland. geere qux:mt:n qlu‘zo evidence, with regult that . Knox $2500 damages, ehtatied This defeat rackled in the breast of Macnaghton to the extent that af- ter brooding he decided to murder the girl upon the first chance. Hear- ing that on Nov. 19, Knox, accom- gfinied by his family, would travel to Sublin, he lay in walt on that date concealed behind a cabin which hid him completely from the sight of any wayfarers. Knox traveled with a Tet- inue of servants his brother and his Wife, daughter and son. Feeling that Macnaghlgn would not darg to attack him with 80 large a company and each one armed, the travelers straggled out. ‘When the ceach containing the girl passed the cabin, it was almost alone #nd Macpgghton, along with two a complices, James MacCarrel and Tho- mas Dunlap, rushed out, after a sk mish, in which many #hols were dis- charged, Macnaghton, with bis part- ners in crime walked off unconcerned- ly, the former, however, with three swan shots in his, back. Miss Knox was carried into the cabin which had so wal agsisted the assaesing, and three hours ?uter died, Baving recetved five wounds, three of which were fatal. The Inniskilling Light Horse were sent out to msearch for the miscreant, who was found in the loft of a farm not far distant from the scene of the crime.

READ YOUR CHARACTER By Digby Phillips, Copyrighted 1921 Appealing to the “Square” Man By the “square’man the character- ologist means the man who is square in bodily build. His full face seems to be built on square lines: It is not much, if any, wider across the cheeks than across the forehead and jaw. He is big-bon- ed, usually tall, nearly always muscu- lar. Not only are his bones big but his frame is big and rangy. He has a lean, “clean-cut” look whether he has taken on flesh or is thin. His stomach s flat, comparatively so even in mid- dle and old age. Action and motion are the “middle names” of this type of person. The rule for appealing to or persuading a man or woman of this sort is simple. It consists of one word, “Demon- strate ! Show him or her Show what “makes the wheels go round”; and patrticularly, let' the wheels go around. If youre not talk- Ing about something material and tan- gible, draw diagrams, use gestures. Point out with your hand where you and the other fellow stood. Describe the manner in which somebody came in the office.

To sell such a person an automobile, for instance, your quickest route to success is the immediate demonstra- tion. Show the engine and go at once for a ride. If dealing with a convex, tell exactly how many miles an hour the machine will go and exactly what kills it will climb; mention the specif- ic number of feet in which the machine can” be stopped, and demonstrate.

B e e i CHILD TRAINING AT HOME PLAY PLACES IN THE HOUSE During the many days and hours when children can not be told to “run they must play in the house, as a matter of necessity. Where the abode is a spacious one there is of course no problem, but the majority of families live in small houses and, out and play” alas, apartments. . Time and again it has. been my lot to spend visiting sessions in houses where to all intents an dpurposes the only play places were under the visi- tor's feet, on the arms and rockers of chairs and entirely in the vicinity of the grown people who were going through vacuous form of conference or conversation.

NICK MOONEY, Prep. e —_—e room,—the smaller one, a larger one being reserved for the necessary bu- reaus, play place and playthings. In another home the dining room is the play place, and the very fact that it must be put in order before meal times is giving one group of little folks invaluable lessons in neatness, order, consideration and helpfulness. But the ideal play place is the at- tic, and there often is one of some sort, such a space kept reasonably clean, and having its windows portect- ed, would solve many a household pro- blem. The fact that the attic is cold is in its favor rather than otherwise Indeed while the children are playing there the upper sash of the windows should be open. There is no reason why with coats, sweaters, caps, and even mittens on, the children should not be told to “run up and play” at such times as rain or cold make out- door sport impossible. There being no occasion for putting on the despised and clumsy rubbers is also an advan- tage. Wise parents would see to it that such an attic contained am old mattress for “jumping on”’ a ladder a clothesline, some odds and ends of discarded furniture, wooden boxes. a trestle or two, boards, hammers and nails, an old tarpaulin or other cloth for tent-making purposes, together with such toys as the children choose to take with them. I have seen many porches which would make fine play places on wet days and wondered why none of them was in use. I suppose mothers consid- er the weather “too damp.” But when I remember a neighbors healthy brood of children, who. equipped with rub- ber boots, coats and caps played out of doors every day in the year, except when the thermometer was twenty below and a wind blowing, I am of a FOR THIS WEEK ONLY Annual Bedding Maliresses, Springs, Beds, Pillows at Cost Silk Floss ¥ attrese—tull weight pure silk floss— c¢hoice of ticks—$20 grade .....
