Was he Inspired 2

Forty-seven years ago Macaulay, the
English historian, wrote Of America:
"Your republic will ,be piIIaged and
ravaged in the Twentieth century just
as the Roman empire was by the bar
barians of the Fifth century, with the
difference that the devastators Of the
Roman empire. the Huns and Vandals,
came from abroad, while your bar
barians will he natives of your own
country, and products of your own in
stitutions.
GA day will come in the state of New
York when the multitude between half
breakfast and the hope of a dinner,
will elect your legislators. Is it pos
sible to have any doubt as to the kind
of legislators that would be elected?
You will be obliged to do these
things which render prosperity impos-
sible. Then some Caesar or some Ma
poleon will take the reins of govern

How to Free ireland. .

James Connolly, member of the
Amerlcan-1rish Historical Society, the
A. 0. II. and the San Diego Transvaal
committee, gives through the San
Francisco Monitor his notion of the
surest, quickest and safest way Of
freeing Ireland. 1t is, he writes, for
Irish-American societies to arrange for
holding great meetings, consisting of
musical and literary entertainments,
together with addresses by the best
speakers to be had. Such meetings
should be held as early as may be prac-
ticable. But it should be on some day
set apart for patriotic recreattons;
Decoration day or the Fourth of July
at the latest. The purpose should be
to raise funds for the homeless wild
ows and orphans, Boer women and
children, whose houses were burned
down over their heads, while their
husbands and fathers, brothers and
sons were on the field fighting for lib
erty as no other men have ever fought.
England is already crippled financial
ly by the two years war. She has
lost more than double the men in
killed and wounded that the Beers
have had in their ranks since the war
began. Captain Lossberg Of the Boer
army, who left there in January last
and is now in New York, says the
English have violated every law of
civilized warfare. General Botha told
him at his departure that when he
came back they would be free or fight
ing. Botha himself would fill patri-
OTIS grave. They needed nothing but
"ambulances and surgical supplies"
and, he should have added. aid for the
homeless women and children.
Let our Irish-American societies
show the world that they are as one
man in their devotion to the Celtic
ideas Of liberty in this matter. With

Irish Lace Making.

After the famine of 1S47 lacemak-
ing was revived in Ireland. Limerick,
the most successful Irish lace, is not
really lace at all. 1t is tambour
work upon net and muslin.
The Irish point, so called, is the an
cient cut work, being made in quite
the same way.
Net was first made by machinery in
176S. The machine was an adaptation
Of the stocking loom to lacemaking
and was c,lmbrous and not very effect
i've: In 1900 John Heathcote, a farm
er's son, evolved from consciousness
and experience the first machine to
make true bobbinet with perfect six
sided holes. 1t brought a great hue
and cry about his ears from lacework-
ers, who fancied they saw themselves
thus reduced to beggary.
The Luddites broke into the factory
where the machines were first put up
and made scrap iron and kindling
wood of them. The only result was
to drive the new manufacture to other
and safer quarters. For long the Sc
cret Of the machines construction was
most jealously guarded by English
manufacturers. Not satisfied with let
ters patent they kept up coast patrol
to make sure that nobody took model

posed to erect a monument in that
commonwealth, is known in two hemi-
spheres. 1t has made part OF the his
tory of Ireland and America. In Ire

which characterized an epoch not rare
in the story of the country-an epoch
of revolution. What Lord Edward
Fitzgerald was to the period OF
1908 and Robert Emmett was to the
unfruitful, though gallant. movement
of 1903, Meagher was in a great mea-

1S4S.
General Meagher was born in Wa

college graduation, in 1913, he entered
into the whirl Of political strife then

No, a Synonym.

Mr.. Clement X. Shorter warns his
readers in the current number Of the

word "Erse" as a synonym for Irish.
He says:

language, by the London daily papers,
That is but one Of their many lingual
lapses. But Literature ought certain

CoNvICTs AND GOOD ROADS.

There has been introduced in the Il
ainois Legislature under the auspices of
the National Good Roads Association
a measure providing for the employ
ment of convict labor in the prepara-
ton of road material instead of at the
actual work of road-making.
The chief merit of this measure in
the view of the st. Louis Republic, lies
in the fact that it promises to solve
in the simplest manne the problem of
removing prison labor from competi-
tion with free labor. Convicts will no
longer be set to work on the roads, but
will work in the stockadeS at the pen
-%itentiaries in the preparation of road
making material. This material will
be loaded on trains at the prison and
given to the various counties in proper
ton to their population. the counties
paying only the cost of freight from
the ~penitentiary.
The measure promises great benefit
~ LAX ooiuN
from the elimination of convict labor
and our contemporary thinks "the
problem of proper road material in
sufficient quantity will thus be solved
for every State that may pass such a
law. It's apportionment to the various
counties could easily be regulated to
the satisfaction of all. The expense
of good roads, in money and labor,
would be greatly lessened to every
county. The consequent progress Of
road Improvement should, therefore, be
eminently satisfactory"
The good roads question is one OF
great Importance and no common
wealth is nor deeply interested than
our own well-named Mountain State,
where the country road is found per-
haps at its worst.
