For a while at least the metropolitan dailies could safely reserve front page space for the daily doings in the Irish repuhlic. It would be a Donnybrook fair on a larger scale. Didn't it ever occur tb you gentle reader that this watchful waiting policy might have a few disadvantages? To us the ac tions of Mexico and Germany in regard to the United States are distinctly remindful of the actions of an incorrigible pupil in school who deliberately sets about seeing how much the teacher will stand. There are some teachers with whom it is always self evident that it does not do to monkey- A more forceful executive would not have kept this country constant ly on the ragged edge of trouble We extend the compliments of the season to the weatherman and congratulate him on the brand of May he has opened up for our refreshment.

It appears that Mr. Bryan may be a delegate to the nation al convention after all An al ternate may he persuaded to re ign and his place tilled by the ex-secretarv. Manv statesmen would disdain such a chance to secure what the people of his state had refused him, but Mr Bryan's pride never stands in the wav when there is some thing to be handed out. Who was it spoke of Port land's rose festival? Forget it while Monmouth's May day is in prospect. Old bossy does not do as smooth a job as the lawn mower but she has her recompenses She does not ueet oiling or sharpening. Yes, gasoline is expensive, and so is sugar. But the joy ride and the strawberry are elbowing one another for popularity these lays. Forget your troubles and shut up shot) for May day. You'll be a long time dead. Moved by the ridicule which his decision created and the sup plications of his fellow judges who writhed under the notoriety of the case, Judge Richard S. Tuthill of Chicago has with drawn his Shakespearean de cree, and the literary world rests easily once more. It was in Chicago, some years ago, that Samuel Eberly Gross, a real es tate dealer of the city, secured an injunction against Edmund Rostrand's Chanticleer play on the ground that it was an in fringement of his own play "The Merchant Prince of Corn ville." Gross may have been right for he presented a good case and the followers of Ignatius Donneley may be right that Bacon was the real Shakespeare but in literature there is a great deal in a name and in neither case would the rose under an other name smell as sweet. l'ho general desire to boss some one else interferes with speedy ac complishment. A considerable crowd of men will turn up to work on a job the making of a road, the building of a house or the clearing of an areu of jungle. At the head comes the chief, who does no more than walk about and give tone to the proceedings by his presence The men are set to work on differ ent parts of the job by the sub chiefs. Having argued the matter to a finish, the suhchiefs leave eaeli a katikiro in charge of their men and retire to discuss tho news of the day. These overseers then in turn choose katikiros from the men of each village. In all probability these katikiros ajrain will each ap point one or two deputies, und as no one labeled "katikiro" expects to do any work himself the number of ordinary unvarnished laborers left to do the real work is very small. As the day goes on, even these men often put boys to work in their places and join the ranks of the "sitters out.' Some who Inive been at work for an hour or two will rec ollect that once they were appoint ed vice suhdeputy to somebody's un der assistant katikiro. They will thereupon join one of the groups in the shade, and at length there will be left only a half dozen boys, and they scarcely muke more than a pretense of working. (Paid Advertisements.) FQR THE LEGISLATURE I announce myself a candidate for member of the legislative as sembly from Polk county upon a platform of economy, good roads, lower taxes and the elimination of freak laws, and most respect fully solicit the support of re publicans in the primary of May 19. MRS. ELLA Jr METZGER is reflected in your printed , stationery. It is the only view of you many wholesal ers and distant correspond ents ever get. Did you ever think as you prepared a let ter for the mail that your business will be judged by it. A good front makes friends and brightens business. So will your stationery if it is printed at t i The Herald Print Shop You may strain your vision in the direction of any point of the compass aud fail to find any sign of any conflagration kindled by the candidacy for the presi dential nomination by the Hon. Coleman DuPont, the powder trust magnate of Deleware.. While we believe heartily in As to Advertising (By Walt Mason) I asked eight dollars and half for one fine black Polled Angus calf, which price was not too high; I hoofed it west, hoofed it east, endeavoring to sell the beast, but no one wished to buy. Day after day I toiled along, and bored men with the same old song, "I have a calf for sale; I ask eight bones and fifty cents, for this unequaled critter gents who will dig up the kale?" Then said a friend, "Oh, rest your feet, and quit your wearing out the street, and howling by the year; spend fifty cents and advertise your sawed-off cow of pocket size, and buyers will ap pear." I followed up that sane advice, and put my jaded feet on ice; and when the ad appeared, ten customers came to my gate; one bought the calf and paid the freight, the others bucked and reared. And thus, by printing little ads, the wise man gathers in the scads and rests his aching corns; a little ad will make more noise than fifty-seven busy boys, all tooting on their horns. FOR REPRESENTATIVE I have filed as a candidate for the office of representative from Polk county, subject to the de cision of the Republican voters at the primary election May 19, 1916, and respectfully solicit your support.

Kitching in "On the Back Waters of the Nile," is a very worrying piece of business in Uganda, for the incapacity of the workmen is exceeded only by their laziness.
