Once on time there lived a king,
Both Virtuous and great,
Who vowed a wide reform to bring
Within his ample state.
''That man." with solemn voice he
cried,
And then an oa2h he swore,
"Who makes vow at New Years

Must keep 1t evermore!"

His word was law. From shore to

The edict was proclaimed,
So that the realm should neverrnore
With broken vows be shamed.
But, as of old, when New Years came
Throughout that happy land
Men viewed their daily lives with
shame
And took the same old stand.

In corners dark they skuIked and hid,
But soon their sins were known.

And punishments both just and dire

Burned bright in every eye.

The feebler souls began to shun
The pleasant light of day.

Archbishop Ireland Is Not After the

Ne,o EorIc San Special Service
Chicago, March 20.-''The story is SIM
ply nonsense" said Archbishop Ireland Of
st. Paul when shown dispatch from Chi
cago stating that he had been named by
to get control of the Chicago archdiocese
as q stepping stone to the cardinalate.
For the first time the name Of Arch
bishop ireland was openly mentioned yes
terday, IN connection with the Crowley
controversy. That the Minnesota pre-
late was meant by Paul e. Lowe in his
statements and affidavits was admitted by
8. H. Hubbard, publisher Of the New
World, the official organ Of the Chicago
archdiocese, Mr.. Hubbard freely dis
cussed charges made by Lowe, and said
that the ambitions of Archbishop Ireland
were limitless, and that If he could be-
come the head Of the second largest do
cese in America his claim to the red hat
would be materially advanced. It was
Archbishop ireland. he said, whom the
friends of Bishop Muldoon and Archbishop
Feehan believed was the master mind
directing the assaults on the purity of the
Chicago clergy. Archbishop Ireland's re-
huence in the politics of the church in the
Chicago diocese was emphatic. Further
than to repeat that "the story is simply
nonsense he would not go. He declined
to view the report seriously, his manner
Indicating denial of its truth more en-
phatic than words. Father Crowley and
his friends vigorously denied that Arch
| bishop Ireland has ever shown any /1nd1-
cation of sympathy for them.

roads was emphasized by several speakers
during the afternoon session. Among
others were Postmaster Callaghan, Coun-
ty Surveyor Frazer and l.. P. Chase, chair
man of the county commissioners. -.s
G. w. Cooley Of Minneapolis gave at
much length the methods Of constructing
gravel and macadam roads through the
rural DISTRICTS, his official connection with
the National Good Roads association CIV
ing additional weight to his advice.
The evening session was popular in
character, the stereopticon being freely
used by the speakers, Charles A. Forbes
OF st. Paul and Professor w. r. Hoag OF
the state university. The attendance
throughout was very satisfactory. g.,
