Daniel Keleher, in response to the
toast, 1.-The Day We Celebrate said it
was SAL that Ireland had no national hol-
iday, but that the gatherings on st. Pat
rick s day in so many countries bore testi-
mony that she should be admitted to
a place among the nations of the
earth. He referred to the life
of st. Patrick and the early
history of the Irish people and the ntiu-
ence the teaching of st. Patrick had upon
them. Referring to John Boyle O'Reilly,

birth to so many myriads of men of his
intelligence and manhood that her sons
had assembled on Patrick's day.

ing of the Green" in order 70 appreciate
the music of the "Star-Spangled Banner"
He contrasted the various forms of gov
eminent of the other nations of the earth

that it was far superior to any of them.

prosperity of Americans with as much
zeal as the Americans themselves.

only solid structures in the city were two
brick buildings, and from that she had

City of the Sound; that while her
citizens were at times divided
on the question of politics, when occasion
required they were always united and
acted as one man. Heexpected 20 see her
the leading city of the Coast, and proposed
rs far as possible to give her the best
municipal administration Of which man
OF his caliber was capable.

of her soil Ireland would prefer
10 remain attached to Great Britain
Home rule. he said, had Teen granted 70
every particle oil territory belonging IN
Great Britain, except India, Jamaica and
ireland, and that the demand of these
nations for home rule WAS 4 Just one and
should be granted.
L. c. Gilman, responding to The State
Of Washington" said that no matter
where men might have been born all feel
81 allegiance TO the Evergreen state. IL
was fine thing 10 reflect on that a de-
scendant of the Puritans should be cele-
brating st. Patrick's day: 1t was favor
lite pastime Of his ancestors TO burn Cath
olics. He concluded with the statement
that next 10 the common country all citi-
Tens should work for the upbuilding of
this grand state.
