 Reign of Terror in Ireland.

For making speeches distasteful tc the British government ten Irish mem bers of parliament have been sentenced recently to terms of imprisonment al hard labor. Two are already in prison and eight are about to follow them Inc sentence includes a diet of bread and water for three days and sleeping on a bare plank for two weeks, and, If the judge is disposed to be severe, the duration of those hardships may be trebled. How many Irishmen other than members of parliament are suffer ing imprisonment under similar con ditions is not known, but the London News says there are many of them and that the list of victims is increasing daily.
 England has established a reign of terror in Ireland by methods as brutal as Russia's or Turkeys. The victims of her savagery are not criminals, they are "political' prisoners, men who love their country and are striving to obtain some measure of justice for her through political agitation. These men, because they are Irishmen, are treated with a severity which the British government aid not dare to apply to men who re- sisted it's authority with arms in South Africa. No other civilized government in Europe subjects political prisoners to the punishment provided for ordi- nary criminals.
 When John O'Donnell, one of the Ir- ish members, attempted to bring his case to the attention of the house of commons, after serving six months in jail, he was gagged, forcibly elected, suspended by vote of the house on mo- tion of MT. Balfour, and sent back to Ireland to sleep on plank bed for three months more. England calls that "gov- erning" Ireland and complains angriIy Of the turbulence" of Irishmen who dare to raise their voices in protest against her methods of pacifying the island.
 If Ireland were a distant colony. her wrongs would excite the indignation of the world and call forth protests which even Great Britain would be compelled to heed. Unfortunately for the Irish people, they are so close to England that the world looks upon the Irish question as a British family jar, a do- nestle unpleasantness with which the neighbors have no right to meddle or concern themselves.
 But there is limit to the endurance of human nature, and in the history of oppressed peoples there always has come a time when they have chosen to die fighting for freedom rather than submit to perpetual outrage and tyr amy. England seems to be pushing the Irish close to that limit, even as the Cubans were pressed by Spain Philadelphia North American.

PROSPERITY MAKEps

One of the more intelligent and suc- cesstul Hungmians on the east side in New York has an original theory as t1 the cause CT prosperity in the United States. 'I say that the prosperity of America is due largely to it's children. In my country parents do not allow their boys and girls to work until they are grown. They support them and teach them trades. Here il the United States the children arc put to worI, when .hcy are 12 o- t4, thereby rcliov- ing their parents and adding largely t1 the comforts Of hCmc.

The Lesson of the Bicycle Failure.

Colonel Albert A. Pope. the pioneer and leading bicycle manufacturer of the United States, and president oi the bicycle trust" stated a few days ago that the chief cause of the bankruptcy of the trust is found in it's failure to advertise. The bicycle trust was formed when the popularity of the bike was at its height. The principal factories were taken into the organi- zation, and the promoters thought they saw millions in profits within their grasp. Expenses were to be curtailed all around; some factories were to be closed, agencies were to be concen- trated, so that g single dealer in each
 town, or at most two dealers, would handle the trust wheels; the great ex- pense account for advertising would be wiped out, because the wheels were so well known that further advertising
Arizona republican., 1902-11-15

wasn't necessary, and there was TO longer any competition of consequence. Thus figured the wise gentlemen who engineered the trust.
 The new policy was followed every where, and almost from the moment the combination was made the decline in the bicycle industry began. The great corporal tion found that it could not sell the product of it's factories. Warehouses began to fill up with wheels for which there was no sale. Prices were cut, more or less openly, but the vanished trade did not come back. Colonel Pope had accumulated a fortune by the manufacture of G. lumbia and Hartford wheels, and had been shrewd and daring advertiser. It seems strange that he permitted the trust to disregard business principles which he had found necessary to the success of his individual business. Now, he frankly confesses that the trust failed because it discontinued ad- vertising its wheels.
 It is interesting tJ us to mention the matter, because, many months ago when financial troubles first came upon the bicycle trust, The Republican was the only paper in the country to sug- gest lack of advertising as one of the causes of the difficulty in which the combination found itself, over-capitall- zation being a contributing factor.
 A concern having a complete monop- oly of some necessary of life might with safety discard advertising; but ordinarily. no business of magnitude can be carried on in these days unless it advertises freely and wisely.

ton and humor, give the average American cause for feeling grateful that he is never without entertainment. And until the ponderous occupant of a great office" steps down from the throne, and is jostled and pushed about by the needless democratic throng, and is brought out of his trance sufficiently to realize that the accidents of politics are unheeded by the great majority, his contemplation of his own greatness is likely to yield all the happiness that one mortal should look for
 But when the awakening comes. Thanksgiving seems a hollow mockery.

THE JOY OF DOING.

l cannot think that heaven may be A place that is devoid of care;- can not fancy that for me No duties shall be waiting there; I can not think that heaven is free From all the burdens mortals bear. How can the sweetest joy, the best. Be theirs that in Elysum dwell If none may labor for the rest And win their labor in doing well? Who toll that others may be blessed. Their hearts with sweetest rapture
 swell.

The Indian who said, Ut is easy to see the white man now" represents a large class of people ip this world who are always finding fatit with other folks, but who never do anything themselves. The corner loafer who never earned even his own living has ore phrase that he is never weary of repeating, and that is, What this town needs is a few flrst-class furer- als." Probably he is correct. but he would kick most vigorously if he were told that the undertaken was about to put his maxim in practice by beginning on him. People generally are willing to do the right thing if they can be shown what that right thing is. Simply to find fault and grumble at what has been done, without attempting to set it right. never reformed anybody yet. Tn old times they used to take people of this sort and duck them until they desisted from their practices.

Eighty-two of these members stated they
had their work well in hand, and with the
assistance Of the experienced apprentices
whom they have with them still, they are
enabled TO keep up with current work. Tie
ether three members stated they would
require some assistance, and a call for
