Though questions of referendum or initiative action to place the proposal before the people of the state, in case !of failure by the legislature to efiact the measure, were disclosed, the final decision was to put it up to the legis- lature at the special session this month. The convention also adopted resolu- tions indorsing a proposal to create a state constabulary of 100 men, nine of- fleers and seven clerks, under supervi- IRELAND PROSPEROUS BUT POOR ARE STILL MISERABLE AS EVER A(;I{ICULTUI{AI PROI)UCTS VEI{Y I tllGH BUT WEAI2THY FAltM- EllS ARE GETTING ALL I THE I'ROFITS Oxford, Englaml, February 14, 1920. The average person wouhl expect, upon landing in Ireland at the pres- ent time, to step into the midst of open disorder aml violence. He wouhl be surprised if, someone were not quietly murdered before his eyes within a nhour after his arrival. Yet two American classmates of mine, who have just returned from a six weeks' trip to Ireland, tell me that nothing of the sort happened, so far as they were concerned, and that ' ex- :ternally the trip was rather dull. They qualified this statement by say- ing that there was a great deal of suppressed excitement over the at- tack upon Lord French, and that sympathy was expressed, in 'their presence---for the family of the boy who tried to murder him. They spent some time as lodgers with the post- mistress of a little south Irish vil- lage, and report that a large part of the mail was addressed to friends of the villagers at one or another of the larger Irish jails. I am dealing this week with south- ern Ireland only, and northeast Ul- ster especially must be excluded from any generalizations which I draw. My friends were surprised and im- pressed by the extent to which illit- eracy still prevails in Ireland. Their landlady told them that while sugar was rationed, she, as the proprietor of a boarding house, was able to secure it in quantity, subject to mak- ing a return of the number of guests and the amount used, which must correspond with the legal allowance. All went well while her brother lived for he was educated, and filled in the return by figuring how much they could legally use, and making the figures correspond with this result. But the poor man died, and there was no one left who knew fractions consequently the landlady was ar- rested and fined, and all her troubles dated from that day. Prohibition Unheard Of This good woman asked her Amer- ican guests, if they knew anything about profitbering. She said she had heard that there was a lot of money to be made at it, but she didn't know just what it was and couldn't find anyone who did. The prohibition question in Ireland is at least one stage behind England. No one seems to have heard of it. My friends asked a policeman what the principal industrial plants of the city were. He named seven brewer- lea, one distillery, and on iron foun- dry. In Cork, a city of 70,000, they fohnd 500 public houses (saloons.) It is estimated that the Irish labor- ing man spends one-tlird of his wages for liquor. Considering these facts it is not surprising that although Ireland is enjoying the most prosperous period in her history, the poor are as miser- ably poor as ever. One of my friends who has been in the Orient, said he kept thinking of Indian. The great- est difference seemed to him to be that the huts of the peasants were of stone instead of mud. The Irish laborer gets but a pound a week $4.86 at normal exchange.) So great is the English demaml for Irish agricultural products that prices are very high hogs as much as thirty-five cents a pound' on the hoof, for example. The well-to-do farmers are the people who are making the money. In the neighborhood of Cork the people are looking to our oht friend not be treated as an alien enemy. "The war is on," he said, "anti I think no more of the death of a policenmn in h'eland than of the death of a sol- dier on either side of the battle line." It is to the credit of Oxford that he won his debate. In Ireland today, every police sta- tion is barricaded with san(Ibags and supplied with live hand grenades. The policemen never go out singly or after dark. The country is garrison- ed by about 40,000 English soldiers. Daring crime--or acts of guerilla warfare--are reported almost daily. Yet I would not have my readers i think of the Irish people as blood- i t'qirsty. They are in fact the kindest ptiople in the world. As my two friends were leaving, the other day, the little hotel where they spent most of their vacation, the lamllady gave them a two-pound bag of sugar, and refused to take anything for it. That i s the way they tip in Ireland. J. H. BINNS. Invited Nations All Join League.

I Why suffer from a bad back, from i sharp, shooting twinges, headaches, dizziness and distressing urinary ills People around here recommen(t Dean's Kidney Pills. Could you ask for stronger pxoof of merit? Mrs. G. A. Plympton, 1005 S. Pros- pect Ave., Tacoma, Wash., says: "A few years ago I was in the hospital for an operation and after I got out my kidneys began to bother me a great deal. I shall never forget the miserable backaches. My back was so lame and it hurt me so terribly, I couht hardly go. That constant pain- ing aml aching in the back seemed to take all my strength and ambition. My kidneys were weak and that fre- quently caused swellings of my hands and feet. I was awfully bad off when a friend told me about.Dean's Kidney Pills. Dean's helped me from the start and I steadily improved. I kept on using them and in a short time they had completely and perm- anently cured me." i Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't I simply ask for a kidney remedy--get Dean's Kidney Pills--the same that Mrs. Plympton had. Foster-Milbulaz Co. Mfrs., Buffalo, N.Y.

Sinn Finn Is Strong Sinn Fain has an amazing hold upon the Irish nation. A British officer whom I know spent some time in Ireland about a year ago, nnd stayed at the home of an educator who is at the very head of his pro- fession in Ireland. his man told him that every penny's worth of property I he owned had been signed over to the Sinn Fein government, to be used whenever they needed it, anti that the same was true of everyone and everything in the parish. Certainly it is a mistake to regard the revolution- ary organization as the work of a few hot-headed extremists.
