THEIRIsH-ArIERIcAN SOCIETY

The Irish-American Society has
taken fresh start, as it were. The
members have aroused from the
lethargy and routine of the past
few months, got hustle on them
selves, attend the meetings, take
more interest in the affairs, bring
ing back the laggards and adding
many new members. All this
proves that a little adverse criticism
is sometimes good for the soul. The
recent action of the society in
amending its laws made it the
target of some of the newspapers,
which applied epithets and heaped
denunciation upon prominent men,
bers and officers and the society.
This seems to have awakened the
very members it was intended to
array against the society by the
charge that it had been torn from
its moorings and was to be con-
trolled and run i'll way directly
the opposite of its purpose and OBJ
ject, in the interest of individuals
and partisans. This naturally at
tracted attention and caused in
quiry by those opposed to any such
move, and who, were it true. would
most certainly and promptly have
abandoned it. Their investigation
proves that the cry of polite"
comes from those who are prompted
more by partisan and selfish mo-
tives and fear of results detrimental
to them than any love for the Irish
Americans or their society, and by
lhatred of one or more prominent
xish- Americans, the bare mention
u whose sames, like the flashing
of red rag before a bull, throws
them into tremulous fear and de-
lirium of rage that can only be
relieved by giving vent to mingled
warnings, flattery and denuncia-
ton. That the Irish-A Americans
have seen through the recent outcry
against the society and charges
against those who are and have
been prominent in its maintenance
and management is best demon
strated by its renewed activity,
harmonious meetings, increasing
membership and growing interest.

Speaking of an Anglo American
alliance, the grandson of Lafayette
says; France helped you in your
distress; England acknowledges you
only when you are prosperous. 1t
is the case of a poor relation becom-
ing powerful and then recognized
by hitherto ignoring relations.

lance prevent the United States
from helping herself?
There is no doubt that the Lon
don correspondent told the truth
but the whole business reminds one
of story concerning a well-known
sh-American practicing at the
local bar.
Years ago he was struggling for
a living. Every one who came in
contact with him admitted he had
talent. That is a mistake; there
was one, lawyer of many years
standing, who looked down upon
him and gave him a cut whenever
he could. He was only an Irish
man." while the lawyer of several
years standing had the blue blood
of many generations of Kentucki-
ans in his veins.
The years rolled by and the Irish
man had forged to the front. The
lawyer of many years standing was
still standing. He had 10 record
as lawyer, but he had a pedigree
as long as bluegrass thorough
bred. What did he doo
Why he went to the Irishman
and offered to go into partnership.
But the "Irishman" had accumu-
lated fortune of $50, 900 and was
adding to it every day, while his
would-be partner with thorough
bred record had-plenty of debts.
Thus it is with England. She
assumed authority over the Ameri-
can colonies until the heroes of Rev
dictionary fame shook off the yoke.
She tried it again in 1912, and i'll
the war of the rebellion loaned all
the aid she could in all effort to dis
rupt the Union. England was a
thoroughbred. The United States
was a nation of nondescripts; many
of these nondescripts were Irish. "
But the United States forged to
the front and became a power, and
then, and not until then, did Eng
land seek an alliance. The United
States can so it alone.
The kilograms say England wants
an alliance in order to support the
United States in its war with Spain.
The war with Spain is over. The
United States did not need England
in that row.
The second point is to secure
American aid in keeping an open
door" in the far East. America |
can take care of herself in the far
East, and there is no reason why
she should want to aid England. |
The "open door" as far as America
is concerned means an open door
for Americans, and at this stage of
the game Americans are looking
out for themselves. Americans
could gain nothing by maintaining
an "open door" policy for England.
The third point in these tele-
grams is to give England and the
British colonies "a preferential tar
if for their products. ("
Huh! What about American
products' Is the United States
Government TO enter all alliance
with the stepmother country in
order to aid the land of cheap labor
and prison products to compete with
her workmen? Not just yet.
Last, but by no means least,
comes the Canadian question. Eng
land wants an alliance with the
United States to prevent the United
States from accepting the several
provinces whenever they
get ready to join the Union, or
perhaps to force the United States
to make war upon her northern
neighbors in case they should seek
o form an independent govern
nent.
But there is still another reason
that has not yet been mentioned in

IS OFF THE MARKET
Adolph Kammerer of ST. Louis
Withdraws His Property.
WILL BUILD A BIG BLOCK
Reasons for His Faith in
Wichita's Future.

Mr.. Adolph Kamnerer. a wealthy Ger.
man citizen of st. Louis, NO., who had
his property, Just east Of Roy's bicycle
house on East Douglas avenue, on the
| market for three months withdrew 1t
yesterday and all agents have been mott
| fed that 1t is not for sale. Mr.. KAN
nerer will erect fine, three-story brick
on the lots next spring.
The evidence of prosperity and growth
Of Wichita has strengthened Mr.. KAN
nerer's faith, and instead of Offering his
realty holdings here for sale, which he
could dispose Of at good price now, he
has decided to Improve his holdings and
make them pay him a good return
A great many fasteners are said to be
doing this very thing. For years, prob
ably, they have held their property here
just because they could not get one
tenth OF what II cost them during the
boom, and they had become discouraged
with their holdings until within the last
year. Now they are coming out, one by
one, to look the country over and they
have been so agreeably surprised with
the prospects Of Wichita's future great
ness that they have taken new hope 1nd
become energetic pushers. They went
east speaking the praises of Wichita, I'M
til now Wichita does not need laudations.
1t is moving forward by its own volition,
and is moving fast.
Mr.. Kamnerer has kept posted. He says
he knew Of the great activity in building
and business circles. within the last
year, back of which there must be some
thing real. He says he has found out
about the building of the large and hand
some wholesale houses, the building of
fifty new and modern residences, the
great increase in rentals forced by actual
demands the enormous deposits and sur
plus of the banks, the 80 per cent in
crease in postofflce receipts, the thrib-
bling OF freight and warehouse receipts,
the acquisition of new parks. the increase
Of population and wealth, the excellent
Improvements being put on the education
al institutions and their increased atten-
dance. the prosperity of the surrounding
country and the big corn crop, the Wich
tia street fair and the public spirit Of the
merchants who have given 5000 to il
the new street car franchise and the ex-
cellent prospects for new and excel
lent street railway within the next year,
and many other things that have been
acquired within the past year, all of
which should convince any man capable
of good business judgment and the abil-
ity to look into the future, that Wichita
is worthy of confidence and a splendid
and safe field for investment. When Mr..
Kamnerer heard of all these things he
withdrew his property from the market
at once and made plans to build hand
some building that will be an ornament
and a credit to Douglas avenue. TIE
buildings now on the lots which Mr..
Kamnerer owns will be moved on onto
cheaper lots and building will begin
as early as possible in the spring.
