ARTHUR GRIFFITH.
Carcross, Y. T.
Atlln, B. C.
The Irish Free State suffers a melancholy loss in the death of Arthur I
Griffith, Foreign Secretary in the Cabinet of the new Government.
Mr. Griffith will be reckoned in the esteem of the world as one more
hero who succumbed to the martyrdom of duty. Refusing to heed the ad
vice of his physicians, he devoted the last remaining energies of his life to
the service of his nation and its people.
To Arthur Griffith, perhaps, is due the chief credit for Ireland's eman
cipation from centuried serfdom. He was the original founder of the Sinn
Kein. though never a director of, nor a sympathizer with, numerous activ
ities of lawless violence which at times brought discredit upon that organ
ization.
In all his adventurous career no blot seems ever to have attached to
the character of this man who through the years faced death, and, perhaps,
worse, in his uncompromising battle for Irish freedom.
It was given to him to live to see accomplished one of the most poten
tial achievements of civilization—the liberation of a great people. It was a
reward such as but few men have enjoyed.
With Micliael Collins, Griffith led the fight for the Anglo-Irish treaty,
the constitution and the Free State. They won the respect of Ireland's im
memorial enemy. They proclaimed the Irish Nation. They justified their
faith by works. They sternly upheld the new order, but, with a noble mag
anlmlty. unfailingly tempered justice with mercy.
Rebellion in Ireland, now sporadic, will die out. A wonderful new day
is at hand, the day of union, progress, prosperity and happiness. And gener
ations of the future, not only In Ireland but throughout the world wherever
liberty is esteemed, will reverence the memory of Arthur Griffith and the
men who, with him, erected the Irish Free State.—Cincinnati Enquirer.
WHAT THIS COUNTRY NEEDS
What this country needs is not a new birth of freedom but the old-1
fashioned $2 lower berth.
What this country needs isn't more liberty but less people who take
liberties with our liberty.
What this country needs is not a job for every man but a real man for |
every Job.
What this country needs isn't to get more taxes from the people but
for the people to get more from the taxes.
What this country needs is not more miles of territory, but more miles'j
to the gallon.
What this country needs is more tractors and less detractors.
What this country needs isn't more young men making speed but more
young men planting spuds.
What this country needs is more paint on the old place and less paint
on the young face.
What this country needs isn't a lower rate of interest on money but a |
higher interest In work.
What this country needs is to follow the footsteps of the fathers in- |
stead of the footsteps of the dancing master.—St. Paul Crescent.
PACIFIC COAST FARMERS IH) REST.
A statistician has shown that the average income of Pacific Coast farm
ers Is larger than that of any other section of the country. The average Pa
cific t'oast farmer's income according to the income tax statistics is $2,S00;
tuat of the South Atlantic States. $1,340: that of the New England States.
Jl.l'IU: in the East Central States less han $1,000, and the Middle Western
States. $1,500.
The low income for the farmers of the East Central States is due, in
large measure, to the sinallness of their farms.

The Formula for Making Bovs and Girls That
Are Fit to Live With
By PROF. E. A. ROSS, University of Wisconsin.
c> ^ C325£5cSciS2S252S2S2525252S25252S2i ^252b2S2S252ScS2S25252i2S2S252S
The formula for making Ixns and girls that are fit to live with is a?
we!1 understood by sociologists as the making of soup bv manufacturers;
the formula must be extended to the vast majority of America's youth,
instead of to but the favored few.
First comes supervised play—team and antagonistic play. It estab
li -: •■s the child in facile co-operatiou with his fellow and teaches him self
control and how to keep his temper. A good sportsman is a vajliable
pattern.
Next comes co-operation in school work, the co-operative investiga
tion of subjects, and the fitting together of results.
After this, the establishment of ideals. The boy scout movement is
a clever example of this. It rivets ideals of conduct to the boy's instinct.*
of outdoor life. Ideals should be established by the examples of great |
men—Lincoln, Washington, William the Silent.
Religion is the crown of the formula. Discipline, ideals, association
with great men, are not enough. Religion furnishes a philosophy of
goals. It gives a comprehensive outlook upon life. It should come to the
child at the age of seventeen or eighteen.

Dirigible C-2 Is Groomed
To Attempt First Airship
Flight Cross Continent
IUg Army Gas lias Will Mnke His
tory If It Succeeus In Flight From
National Capital to California.
Washington, Sept. 12.—Another
pioneer step in the history of aoro
uuutics will be taken by the United
States army air service within tlvj
next few days when the army d' l^-i
ble C-2 will leave the ground bore 'n
the first attempt to make a fans
continental flight with au airship.
Airplanes have made the trip, bur.
airships uever.
Wheu the C-2 reaches Robs field
at Arcadia, Cal., near Los Angeles,
it will have made history.
The flight was planned In the in
terests 01 aeronautical science, iu
order to establish J cross-continent
airship route. Photographs of ;he
"airway" will be taken and data col
lected us to air conditions along the
route. It will also be an unequalled
opportunity to train air-ships pilots
under the most severe conditions.
Unlike its ill-fated predecessors,
the ZR-2 and the Roma, which ool
lapsed with a largo loss of life on
practice trips, the C.2, a much small
er craft, has already demonstrated
its sturdiness and fitness for the
buffeting certain to be experienced
by an airship on a long flight. Last
July the ship made history by flying
lo New York and back at night, a
trip of almost 500 miles, without
stop. Several fearful electric storing
were encountered, with high winds
and heavy fog that made steering V
compass the only way to guide
the ship. The trip was mude Bafely
despite these handicaps.
The C-2 is iiiucj smaller than
either the ZR-2 or the Ronia, being
only 192 feet long, 64 (eel wide and
6" feet high, with a capacity of 172.
000 cubic feet. Hydrogen gas will
be used to Inflate the envelope. The
two 160-horsepower Wright motors
with which the ship is equipped can
reach a maximum tpeed of 65 miles
an hour. The highest altitude tin
ship can reach is 8,GOO feet.
The airship will be manned by the
following crew:
Major H. A. Strauss, commanding
officer; Captain George \V. McEntlre,
Lieutenant O. A. Anderson, Lieuten
ant Don -L. Hutchlns, Master Ser
geant William E. Fitch, engineers,
and StafT Sergeant Joseph L. Al
brecht, engineers.
Only three stops are planned be
tween the Atlantic and Pacific—Scolr
field, Belleville, 111., Brooks field
San Antonio, Tex., and Camp Blerne.
Tex.
The route of the ship will take it
over these cities: Washington, D. C.;
Akron. Ohio: McCook field, Dayton
Ohio; Scott field. Belleville, Illinois;
Camp Pike. Little Rock, Arkansas
Love Field. Dallas, Texas; Brook
field, San Antonio, Texas; .Marfy,
Texas; Camp Bierne, Texas, and Yu
ma. Arizona.
The airship is now undergoing a
final grooming at I^angley field, near
Washington, In preparation for the
flight.

GOV. SCOfT C. BONE'S HOOK
AI DEDICATION OF NEW COLLEGE
Adress in part, of Governor Scott
C. Bone, at the dedication of the
Agricultural College and school of
Minus at Fairbanks, Alaska, Sept.
12, 1922.
"The opening of this institution,
the tirst of higher laarnlng and tech
nical training in the Northland, is a
potent sign of the times. It speaks
progress. It tells the world that Al
aska Is going ahead. It proclaims, in
its name, the fact that agriculture
and mining are twin resources of
this rich domain. It gives denial to
the popular fiction that Alaska is a
forbidding, frozen upheaval of ice
and snow. It emphasizes the real Al
aska. It will be a helpful factor in
service to Alaska.
"The President of the United
States hoped to ba here in this not-i
able occasion. It was included in his'
tentative arrangements. He looked
forward expectantly to the pleasure
and profit of visiting Alaska. Espe
cially did he wish to see this great
open country of the interior. The
thriving homesteads and expanse of
growing wheat would have Inspired
him. He would have seen here, in
this fertile land watered by the Tan
ana and Yukon, the Mississippi Val
ley of Alaska. He would have grasp
ed the full meaning to the Territory
of the government enterprise, the Al
aska Koalroad, for which, as Senator, ■
he voted, in opening the mineral,
coal and farming lands alo:ig the
way. He would have found and ap
plauded the pioneer spirit at its best
and recognized in all Alaska a hab
itable and inviting land. But his vis
t is only deferred. He will surely
:ome. His Interest Is abiding.
"Natural obstacles have prevent
5d the rapid growt.i of Alaska. Cli
nate is not one of them. Distance
ind inaccessibility are the chief. To
;hese have been added and imposed
lor fifty-five years since tiie Seward
purchase indifferent and inefficient
systems of administration. They have
keen a heavy handicap to settlement
and industry, liut a measure of co
ordination is coining about and con
structive policies are now assured.
No longer can it be said that the gov
ernment at Washington is neglect
ful and unconcerned. An awakened
public Interest in Alaska's welfare is
speeding a better era. Material ad
vaucement has been marked during
the year and every prospect is today
most heartening.
"The opening of this Agricultural
College and School of Mines is an
augury of brightest promise. All hon
or to those who conceived the insti
tution and, through Congress and
the Territorial Legislature, brought
it into being! And may it for all time
be guided with wisdom and ever
grow in strength and usefulness!"
fn the hen's opinion it takes about
14 to make a set.
Money talks. In Kussia the ruble is
calling, "Help! Help!"
Many nre called, but few can show
as good as a pair of Jacks.
As a rule the girl who rolls her
overshoes can also roll her eyes.
The man who died after drinking
metal polish had a brilliant finish.
A bucketshop Is a place that gath
ers in money from easy marks by the
pailful.
The main trouble with a bad hah't
Is Its trick of strengthening as the
victim weakens.

ARE AS BAD AS AMERICAN
Village Life Too, Is Not Free
From Censure, Says
Parson.
London.—The Rev. John E. Wak
erly, the new president of the Wes
! leyan conference, denounced the Im
morality existing today in English
society both high and low, in liis
presidental address.
Ou the same day that his utter
ances were published here, there ap
peared a dispatch from New York in
which the prevalenco of vice and im
morality in America was denounced
by the National Council of the Pro
testant Episcopal Church.
American readers, may be interest
ed in learning that according to Dr.
Wakerly, English morals are appar
ently quite as ba\ as Americati
morals.
"Human life by many is held very
cheaply," was his indictment. "There
is scarcely a day when you do not
open your paper upon some sordid
story of the slaughter of some inno
cent.
"The standard of morals between
the sexes in many places is very
low. Tito sacredness of the marriage
relationship is ope.ily pooh-poohed;
lust tramples truth, integrity, and
domestic happiness beneath its feet.
"You have incre-sed the number
of your judges in the courts which
deal with domestic, tragedy because
of the number of people who have
sought relief in thai direction. When
you have done that, you have only
touched the fringe of the evil.
"Your citios have no monopoly of
vice. Get rid of the Impression that
because-your villages are pictur
esquely placed they are therefore
homes of deep spirituality. Alas, it
is not so!
"You have frequently in what you
think your fair village life a low
moral sense, which is indicated by
an unworthy estimate of woman
hood.
"We have beoit reminded in the
last few weeks that materialism is
trebly bankrupt in philosophy, In the
natural sciences, and in practical life,
and that the only alternatives are a
continuance of the resent chaos till
it ends in a crash, or a return to a
spiritual view of the universe."
