member of the Oredr is Judge Kelley.
Something's he said to the Division that
night the members will not soon forget.
The theme of the Judges speech was es-
sentially practical. He talked right at
the young men. "The American Flag"
was his text. Its three colors formed a
beautiful trinity. They signified loyal
ty to home, loyalty to country and loyal
ty to Cod young men, get married as
soon as you can" Was Judge Kelley's
advice. 'The sooner you can lead q pure
girl to the altar, make her your wife and
create a'lome, the better fol. you. Home
is. salvation of the people. OF great ma
lions. what is It, but c collection Of.
homes? Be true to your country.
What does patriotism mean? Does it
mean the waving Of the flags and the
shouting of hurrahs? No, patriotism is
not like a rifle, to be taken UP only in
case of war. 1t IS a virtue to be en-
hraced in the morning and to be worn
until evening, day after day, all your
lives"
Judge Kelley paid his respects te the
British government in regard to the
pending arbitration treaty. He pointed
out that since the great exodus of the
Irish people to this country in 1S47 and
during the later years, the English gov
had recognized the force of an
unwritten treaty with this country.
