After discussing the tend of events in fre- land, the World concludes: { The British government certainly | wants peace in the south of Ireland. [There can be no doubt about that. But it is not prepared to countenance acts at Dublin in open disregard of |the London treaty, least of all out of | consideration for Mr. de Valera's i prestige as leader of the opposition. | In protesting at this juncture it may {avert a more serious misunderstand- [ing later. In any case, the London {treaty remains the foundation on | which any government to be erected {at Dublin wnust rest. | LAYING BRICKS. { Will H. Hays, former United States | postmaster general, but now head of {the organization of the leading mo- | tion picture producers in his country, (1s an optimist of a most pronounced type but he is not the kind that be- lieves in sitting down and letting things take care of themselves. { "Let us lay a few bricks, not throw |them," is the succinct advice of Mr. | Hays to every person who can have {any part in the work of industrial {and business reconstruction which is {pow making such satisfactory head- {way. In brief, his advice is: Get [busy and quite talking so much. | Only the most untoward conditions | | | keep the capable and industrious per- {son out of a job. Many workers have been experiencing somewhat dis- | couraging conditions for some [ months, many of them for more than | & year, but there is a decided uplift {in all lines of activity, and the better | days for workers are actually here. There will always be persons who seem to get more satisfaction out of throwing bricks than in laying them, They are the drones of society, and | they constitute a condition which is | likely to continue as long as human | nature retains its manifest weakness {in #0 many individuals. | Persons who feel their individual- lity to lay bricks may still have a place dn the work of reconstruction. | Hodcarriers are just as necessary in {bullding as the men who stand with | trowel in hand to lay course after jcourse In the industrial structure, | The most ordinary worker should i feel that his labor plays a part in the | completed work. | The advice of Mr. Hays is not only | 800d under exceptional conditions, as the present, but it is applicable to all {etivition at all times. Satisfactory | conditions in industry and trade will be realized when every person able and willing to work may ficd em- ployment at a compensation that will enable him to develop a high order of citizenship, ; HAVE WE THE OOURAGE? Do we have the courage, or the sense, to face our own shortcomings, to admit to ourselves-gnd-to all con- cerned our errors and mistakes? If we do not have, there is little chance! that we shall ever be much than we are to-day. Only obstinacy refuses to confess error and only vanity declines to ad- mit defeat. Obstinacy and vanity are drags upon the chariot of progress. Unless we cut them loose we do not get very far. The same truth holds for the in- dividual, the group, the community, the nation. History is replete with instances of fine heads battered against the impenetrable wall of un- 'alterable fact, of fine causes lost by better equipped to fight our battles \ | enthusiasts who clung tenaclously 10 {original error, of cities stunted be- cause they were too proud to chango their habits, of nations wrecked upon'| the shoals of their selfish desire { Its fiot enough merely to see our- jeelves as others see us. ' It is probable | that others do not see us as we are, though their appraisal is likely to be | more nearly accurate than our own | {when we are blinded by stubbornness and seif-conceit. What is important | {is that our sole pride in opinion be | |a pride in seeking the right opinion, | that our sole pride in doing bs a {pride in trying to do as well as we | (can, | There is no shame in admitting | | failure or mistake, either to ourselves | or to observers. We cannot long de- | lude those who watch, and they wil! | respect us the more highly if we | frankly confess, when we muff the i ball, that it was our fault | As long as we are not too vain to | | face the facts of our conduct, there | 1s hope for us. But we will never be | (useful to our team mates in life as long as we hypnotize ourselves ito | {the belief that we have'made a home | run with the bases full after we have | { just been struck out. A GET-TOGETHER SPIRIT. | During the years that Lioyd | | George and De Valera and Griffith {and Carson and Craig and the other | | bent minds of England and Ireland | the matter of the | | anxiously waiting and trembling for | [what might happen next, the Rotary | {Clubs of Belfast and Dublin were | olding get-together meetings and golf tournaments! { This was recalled through the ar- {rival in Los Angeles of William A. { McConnell, of Dublin, Ireland, official | head of the Rotary Clubs of the en- | tire' British Isles, to attend the thir- | teenth annual convention of Rotary | International now convened in Los | Angeles, Calif, And carrying the | idea of Rotary spirit to its final an- alysis, Mr. McConnell, of Dublin, wes accompanied by Harford Montgomery of Belfast, representing the Belfast Rotary Club. Rotary, it is stated, is a "school | for service," in which men of hun- dreds of cities, big and little, gather | once a week, In the migdle of the | day, have a good time, become well acquainted, open their minds and hearts to learn, and then seek to ap- ply their lessons eo thoroughly that the world everywhere is learning to look, upon Rotarians as men who do things and do them willingly and un- selfishly, By improving the individual mem- ber of the club, each man's business must he conducted on a higher plane; this means a finer influence upon all other men of the community engag- ed in the same line. The individual becomes a better man in his home 'life, while his attitude and activities in connection with his town, etate and nation are ever keener and broader; that is, ithe is a true Ro- tarian, and such, it is believed, all men connected with the organization are striving to be.

By Rudyard Kipling. Our England is a garden that is full | of stately views Of border, beds and shrubberies and | lawns and avenues, | With statues on the terraces, peacocks strutting by; But the Glory of the Garden lies in and Canadian Confederacy?" A~Charles G. D. Roberts, the Canadian poet, wrote "An Ode for the Canadian Confederacy," a verse of which runs:-- Awake, my country, the hours of dreams is done! Doubt not, nor dread the great- ness of thy fate. Tho' faint souls fear the keen, con- fronting sun, And fain would bid the morn of splendor wait; Tho' dreamers, rapt in starry visions, cry, "Lo, yon thy future, yon thy faith, thy face, And stretch vain hands to stars, thy fame is night, Here in Canadian hearth, and home and name; -- This name which yet shall grow Till all the nations know more than meets the eye. For, where the old thick laurels grow along the thin red wall, You will find the tool and potting sheds which are the heart of all... And there you'll see the gardeners, the men and prentice boys, Told off to do as they are bid, aad do it without noise; For, except when seeds are planted and we shout to scare the birds The Glory of the Garden, it abldeth not in words. And some can pot begonias and some can bud a rose, And some are hardly fit to trust with anything that grows, But they can roll and trim the lawn, and sift the sand and loam, For the Glory of the Garden occu- Us for a patriot people, heart and hand, Loyal to our native earth--our own Canadian land! ------ | ALONG LIFE'S DETOUR BY BAM HILL Shocked Her Husband, Thetgh.
