grain handlers along the line. A sample
of wheat sent from Dublin shows how
the grain is mixed and deteriorated in
quality before it reaches the consumers
hands. This sample was of the No. 2
grade in Liverpool. In any American
market it would grade as rejected. Il
was composed of a mixture of q proper
ton of good wheat with soft and shrunken
stuff. The Dublin mile would prefer
to do their own mixing, save this profits
and at the same time improve the quality
of the product of their mills. 1t is pro-
posed as an experiment to ship the grain
from the northwest in four bushel sacks
direct to Dublin.

Archbishop Ireland declares that Mgr.
Satoli represents the Pope In this coun-
try: that he was sent over here to speak
the views Of the Pope on the school ques-
tion, and that he is likely to remain here
for good while If this is verified, says
the Fargo Argus, the other aschbishops
and bishops will see that ireland has the
inside track with the Holy Father. Arch
bishop Ireland seems to know what he is
talking about, and the hostile archbishops
and bishops will have to knock under.
John Fl. Burke, of Sheldon, N. D., is
afflicted with that disagreeabie malady
called 'cacoethes scribendi.' Some time
ago THE IRISH STANDARD took occasion
to correct some misstatements made by
him IN communication to one of the
Minneapolis papers in which he referred
in disrespectful manner to the action of
Catholic bishops and priests anent the
school question. lie now attacks Bishop
Stanley in letter TO the Fargo Argus
forremarks alleged to have been made by
the Bishop of Jamestown in sermon on
temperance delivered during the mission
at Ascension church, Minneapolis. Mr..
Burke feigns indignation, because, for
sooth, the Bishop is reported to have said
in his temperance sermon that intoxicat-
ing liquor was the curse of Catholic
women. His critic defends the Irish and
Catholic women, and then says that
whisky is one of the things which keeps
the Irish in poverty. Another cause of
poverty, he says, is the building of mag

The supreme court of this state has
decided that the prohibitory law is con-
stitutional. Previous to this decision the
saloons were prosecuted for violations of
the law, and many of them were closed.
Since this decision, however, scarcely any
effort has been made to enforce the law.
It cannot be enforced where public SEN
timent is against it. Liquor legislation
is now purely matter of expediency. II
is question of what kind OF legislation
will best fit the conditions. The best
law is that which in each community will

people Of given town or county desire
and are ready to enforce, Since the de-
cision of the supreme court, and for some.
time prior thereto, between twenty and
thirty saloons have hourished in Yank:
ton. The vote cast at the recent election
shows that the people desire the saloons.
It reveals the startling fact that large
per cent OF the rabid prohibitionists
voted against the only prohibitionist on
either of the legislative tickets in ona
county.
