The first duty of the Irish here is to be
good citizens in this Republic to be temper
ate, Industrious, and proyident; to give
good education to their children. We hold
that the Irish in America can do Ireland the
most good by winning respect for the good
sense, the moderation, and integrity of her
people. Talking about Ireland's rights will
not have much effect. American interference
in Irish politics can only do harm. Ireland
must work out her own salvation /; and she
will repeat the old mistake If she trusts to
others.-Boston Pilot.

a half. When we reflect that thousands of
millions have passed through Mr. Spinner's
