T was inevitable the Provisional Government in Ireland should have its troubles—grave ones. The Ulster raids are only what might be expected fn an Ireland where there is still as much old fac- tionalism as new freedom and where real unity can only be achieved by patient striving and adjustment. Michael Collins and Arthur Griffith are deter- mined the Provisional Government shall neither countenance nor seem to countenance Sinn Fein vio- lence in Ulster. Winston Churchill tells the House of Commons thai ihe British Government will loyally stand »y the treaty and furnish the Pro- visional Government in Ireland with every means, including arms at.d ammunition, that may be re- quired to maintain order within its own borders, In the mean time the Provisional Government must bear the attacks of Irishmen in its own house. The De Valeta party announces a big meeting in Dublin next Sunday afternoon with the stdlement that “it is evident from Premier Lloyd George’s speeches in the British House of Commons that his policy is once more to trick the Irish people and deal with Mr. Griffith and Mr. Collins as he dealt with Redmond and Dillon.” Does De Valera spare the Provisional Govern- ment when he sees it is seriously occupied with the Ulster disorders? Not he. On the conirary, he takes that moment to begin active political warfare. Strange that the most fanatical friend of Irish freedom should be the worst foe of practical Irish peace! The weather man continues to frown on Sinile Week. OLD DOGS ARE WISER., ADDIE BOY, the White House Airedale, has broken into politics, President Harding acting as amanuensis. Ten years ago another dog was prominently mentioned in political news. We were asked to quit kickin’ the late Champ Clark’s dog around. No telling what has happened to that famous canine, but most likely he went back to the Arkansas hills. If he is still living, he is probably a wise old dog by this time. If his present master read him the message of Laddie Boy, as trans- cribed by the President, we venture to say the old houn’ gazed up at the moon and indulged in silent merriment. Then maybe he went up to his master and whis- pered in his ear, “You-all tell that Laddie Boy dog that when he gets older he'll be wiser. He'll know that political Chiefs never really want to abandon the cares of their offices and go back to their little home towns. They just think they do, after a long, hard day with a bothersome agricultural bloc,” Farmers will not demand Imitation of arma ment im the tractor price war. ALL TO THE GOOD. . OW does Speaker Machold like the expense account of the Lockwood cominittee? He ought to like it. Only a week ago he was strong for economy and saving. He said: “Tt is about time these investigation com _ Mmittees quit. They have been a considerable cost to the taxpayers.” He didn’t mention the rent payers. But now it develops that the Lockwood com mittee has not put the taxpayers to any expens? whatever., It is the other way around. The com- mittee ‘thas functioned as a collection agency at a cost of less than 50 cents on the dollar. The com- mittee has been’ helping the surplus. The bills of the Lockwood committee amount to $236,000. Fines from the conspirators the com- mittee has exposed amount to more than $500,000. Compared to other committees, this one has heen economical to the point of parsimony. A paid counsel had his bill cut from $14,000 to $2,500. An accountant's bill was cut in half. The bill for the three years of the existence of ihe Lockwood committee is considerably less than the Meyer committee spent in about as many months New York City is glad to see Speaker Macho!d inclined toward economy, for the city pays 70 per cent. of what he helps to spend.

The deficit is there. Ii will have to be paid sooner or later. Until it is paid, it is a constant menace to the integrity of the Government. If the rank and file make up the fund in small payments, there can be no criticism of the source. But unless the rank and file Republicans pay up, there will be a constant danger of party-inspired action to pass special privilege legislation, with the understanding that the beneficiaries of this legisla- tion will settle the debt and reimburse themselves from the profits of the special privilege. There have been plenty of rumors of such action. There is fire under the smoke. The rank and file can stop the talk by remitting their dollars in tens, fives and ones. That is the best way to cancel the debt MEDDLE AND MUDDLE. HEN they re-elected the school officials due to be withered in fierce thought radiations from Palm Beach, members of the Board of Edu- cation did their duty. But they did it with bad grace, ‘ “A eulogy of Mayor Hylan, a denunciation of Gov. Miller and a damnation of the press,” is the way one hearer summarized the proceedings. Gov. Miller and the press will survive. Mayor's anger may be softened. But what had these things to do with the re- taining of capable public servants in a department which every one professes to believe should be kep: clear of politics? Why does the Mayor's telepathic twin now gu on talking about the “good spanking” Supt. Ettinger has “earned”? If everything was open and aboveboard, why so much resentment? Would Mr. Hirshfield have us understand that it was Dr. Ettinger who started the politics when he opposed the election of Mrs, Grace Strachan Forsythe—one of the Mayor’s most efficient polit- ical helpers in the late municipal campaign—to the post of Associate Superintendent of Schools? Was that the first call for “spankings”? In the Hylan-Hirshfield view, the only really objectionable kind of politics in the public schools seems to be the protest that seeks to keep Hylan politics out. Gov. Miller favors an investigation by the State Board of Regents into the conditions of school ad- ministration in this city. Mayor Hylan and his faithful brain-wave re- ceiver are the last persons who’ can put up effective sarguments against such investigation. Transit, port development, schools—in not one of them has the Hylan Administration a case against summary interference by the State. The Mayor and his henchmen can shout Home Rule until they are black in the face. The fact remains that they have made this city’s present _ Government a crying argument against Home Rule. They have tried this time to put over something in the School Department. They have only landed themselves in another mess and brought another department under suspicion. Wherever they meddle they muddle. The Uncle Joe Cannon may be right in saying that a per capita charge of 11 cents for support of Congress is not excessive.

THE EVENING WORLD, FRIDAY, From Evening | Kentucky and Elsewher | To the Editor of The Evening World: I rush precipitately to the defense jof my native State. Your innuendoes as to the calibre of public education in Kentucky are altogether unmer- ited, Under the aggressive direction of State Superintendent Colvin the rural schools are rapidly being estab- lished on a busis as sound as any in | the country. Harvard and Yale have jadmitted without examination gradu- ates of the Louisville Male High School. Phe Medical School of the University of Loulsville is probably the best in the South; it is ranked Class A by all of the country’s major educational institutions. The Univer- | sity of Kentucky poss: agricul- ‘tural and technical departments that are on a par with any in the United ates. You are on somewhat safer ground when you undertake to sneer at Ken- tucky legislators. There was a time, in a past that is not quite yet dim und distant, when the legislators of | the State were noted mainly for the character of instruction offered in the fine art of getting gloriously and hi- la sly drunk At that, however, ' the General Assemby has yet to pro- {duce a Lusk, and 1 doubt much whether it would presume to expel a minority bloc.

HATOSY, New York, Feb. 7, 1023, | | | | | \ | | { le World Readers UNCOMMON SENSE By John Blake (Coysrignt, 168%, by John Blake) “THE ‘RICH GET RICHER.” It is perfectly true that the rich get richer provided they employ industry and intelligence. The fact that they seldom do, keeps money in general circu! tion and prevents the con- centration of all the world’s wealth into a few hands. . “Zu gelt geht Gelt’—to money goes money—said the old shoemaker who left his savings to Rothschild. He felt that the millionaire would get his money in the end and he would save society a lot of trouble by presenting it tahim in the first place. “Them that has, gits,’’ is one way the same sentiment is phrased in America. But because money goes to money is nothing to worry about. If money goes to money, thrift and independence become easier when one has made a fair start in life. , The man who, by saving and sacrifice, has got a few thousand dollars together has earned the right to watch those dollars work for him. If this did not happen there would be no reward in old age for thrift in youth, and misery would be many times multiplied. Also, if to money goes money, to wisdom goes wisdom, The acquisition of knowledge is far easier to the man who has accumulated a store of it than to him who has none at all For example, a man who has grounded in Latin aad French can acquire Spanish and Italian with very little trouble. Max Mueller, who spoke and wrote more than a score of languages, had little difficulty in picking up those he learned last. He had learned how to study languages, Learning, which all intelligent men desire, comes easi-r and easier as a stock of it is accumulated. The same is true of skill or adeptness in any trade or profession. The widely read and able lawyer can work up a cuse with half the time and trouble that is required by a beginner in law. The man who bas mastered one mechanical trade can waster another in half the time, The brain has learned tne rules of knowledge gaining; skill goes to skill and money gocs lo money. It is hard in the beginning to learn the mental discipline and the concentration necessary to the mastery of any branch of learning. But once that capital has been accurmu- lated the rest will come naturally. The rule that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer sounds brutal. But it is a necessary rule, and the fact that it exists is a blessing instead of a curse, As to the danger of the concentration of wealth, you can always trust some of the rich to put their money back into general circulation, as they have through idleness and vanity since the beginn’1g f time. As the Saying Is “DARK HORSE.” An unforeseen or compromis From the Wise | It is better to fall among crows eer Persecution | By Dr. S. E. St. Amant. Copritent, 1093, oy J. L. dames of Springfeld, Tenn., another Sabbatarian, was indicted for Sabbath-breaking, on the charge of doing carpenter work on Sunday. The indictment was founded ‘pon the testimony of a Rev. Mr. Powers, a minister of Missionary Baptist Chureh. Mr. James was working on a house for a widow, who was a member of the Methodist Church, and without any expectation of receiving payment, but wholly on a charitable act. He did the work in the rain, because the widow was about to be thrown out of the house in which she lived, and had no place to shelter herself and family. Mr. Powers, the informer, lived about 600 yards from where the work was done, and on that very Sunday haa carried wood from within seven rodm of where Mr. James was at work and chopped up the wood 4% sight of Mr, James. ‘*Therefore,’ art ines. cusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest; for wherein thou judg est another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.”” Mr. James was convicted, the usuat fine and costs being tmposed. These | were paid by some of Mr. James | triends. | No better machine for the manufae~ ture of hypocrites was ever devised. If the church of the third and fourth centuries was endangered and made an apostate by the conditions that caused unconverted pagans to flock |into her fold, certainly the pro- | gramme which the Crafts, Bowlbye Jet. al are working upon is doubly cer- tain to produce a like result. With a creed in place of @ constitution, and the church made a national institu- tion, there is no kind of politician or | wire-puller or grafter or hypocrite on | scoundrel who will not fall upon his knees and cry for membership. the Psychoanalysis You and Your Mind By ANDRE TRIDON \No. XV.—THE PSYCHOLOGY OF CARD PLAYING. Card playing is a neurotic symp-~ tom, although a very harmless one when it does not assume the form of a gambling craze, Human beings are gregarious, fusb like animals which Ike to flock to~ gether, because they then feel safer, Human beings, on the other hand. never feel very safe even whem gathered in groups. The struggle for life compels us to wear @ mask and a muzzle, We must not betray oun thoughts unless we wish others to take advantage of us, Card playing enables the timid onom to “gather in some place, drawing room, card room, cafe, gambling ¢s~ tablishment, without revealing any of their thoughts to their associates. They sit at a table for hours at a time without ever expressing 3 thought. The vocabulary of the car game supplies them with a few vocal noises which they can produce withs out danger. “I pass,” “I take three." &e. An evening or an afternoon passe4 off, after which they all rush homa after exchanging a few remarks abou the weather (another form of conver- sation which enables us to be sociable without ever saying anything). For those who have nothing to say and yet feel soctably inclined, for those who do not care to reveal thet thoughts and cannot be satisfied witt thelr own company, card playing ts an’ ideal pastime, Gambling {s simply the exaggera- tion of those neurotic traits, to which Is added of course a seng of inferi~ ority and a craving for power easil¥ acquired. The' gambler does not trust his own efforts or his own efficiency in the hunt for riches, Not daring enough to steal from others, he pre# fers to let chance do the stealing. Some one may say that certai ¢ftyd games demand ability. The rea gamblers, however, do not bother with those. Baccarat or roulette, which are purely games of chance, are their favorites, Gambling supplies the inferior and rascally with a splendid scapegoat, When they lose, they blame their bad luck. When they despoil their adw versary, they say they WON hie money. | “copyright by Untted Feature Syndicate WHERE DID YOU GET | THAT WORD? s*4 i 134.—F LAPPER, a ‘The word “flapper,” as applied to young girl, bears the stamp ‘tmade im London.” But it is a descriptive word, and there is little doubt that if s found permanent lodgment in the, uuge as spoken in America e dictionary definition of ‘flap- than flatterers; for those devour candi-| pee’? is prim “one who fiaps,’” : date in a political contest. ‘The termn|and, secondarily, “a young wild duck ne dec se the living. | a the dead only, these the living, fs borrowed from the turf, Thore ig] before it is able to fl Antisthenes. ja custom among racin, ing a horse in sece ' ince ts a prolonged wfaney |dark,” 80 that his powers may be in men of train lop ed of its charm pistes ivery day of the race frequently say that . win the race," It ta far in idie man's brain is the dewtl's will win tho ra It In not o from joakeydom to the world of poll workehop.—Bupgap- eatin Hence De Roufflers. known to the betting world itil the jockeys “the dark horse | pers’ aryl } It must be admitted, however, that eping him| the human flapper shows little sign of being unable to fly.
