True, the mission eff this order
Is to help in time of need
And it brings us peace and plenty,
Free from craftiness and creed;
With it's great arm fast extending
Ger our blest land of the free
Many hearts have learned to cherish
The sweet name of "Maccabee."
So let every working member
Put his shoulder to the wheel;
AS he sure must have a friend
To whom he can make appeal;
Have him join, twill give him solace,
AS when sick he'll find relief,
And if death his home shall enter
We will help to bear his grief.
Meier be selfish in your working
In the cause of fellow man;
We have those we should provide for
Through our broad fraternal plan;
We are building up nation
Stronger, better far than these

CAUSE FOR SATISFACTION.

Americans of Irish blood have good reason to con-
slider this ST. Paricks Day of the most suspicious
in many years perhaps Of all time since Ireland

that the complicated and troublesome land question
will be settled through compromise agreement Of
the British Ministry the Irish representation in Par

Ireland if the poor peasants and tenants. who have
been the mercy Of the landed arstocracy will OBJ
tain easy means to change their position from ten
ants to proprietors The British Ministry appears
be willing ameliorare conditions in Ireland and

eminent officers have weaned them a policy of re-
construction. The plans proposed approved by
persons well informed; not a complete policy but
practicable advance toward justice.
That the Irish element of st. Louis is taking re-
newed interest in the affairs of the Emerald Isle was
demonstrated by the impressive parade Of Sunday aft
been held, and probably larger than any of its
predecessors.
Loyalty to the suffering relatives In their native
land was displayed not only by the number Of Irish
Americans who participated in the parade. but also
by the general excellence Of the demonstration and
the patriotic feeling Of all the marchers Settlement Of
the landlord question by compromise will do away
with much of the poverty prevalent In Ireland and
will be the starting point Of still favorable agree
ments. This st. Patrcks Day is especially inspiring
to loyal IrishAmericans and all Of them loyal.

LET ORGANIZATIONS TAKE ROOT

Permanence should grow out Of the Independent
movements in certain wards. Perpetuate the efforts
for good.
1t is probable that some of the independent nom-
nations will bring present results; will for
the wards the proper representation. In many wards
the people down-ridden by weight Of rotten poll
tics that cannot be thrown off by a single effort
Their hope is in the permanency of independent
organizations and in quiet/but unremtting work. In
time they will come into their by methodically
accommodating and asserting substantial power The
value Of organization built on honest clean lines lies
not much in its immediate potency in its ut
mate indestructibility. single victory tells very
little in the record of local government. If followed by
dissipation of energy and long series of failures.
1t Is quiet effort year in and year that achieves
results The old party organizations in the bad wards
possess cohesion and purpose They do not stop with
single victory, they demoralized and broken
by defeat To fight them successfully there must be
organizations with continuous motive.
The opportunity, therefore, for good citizens in
those wards where the old parties do furnish rep
resentative nominations is not only fight during the
present campaign, but to preserve an identity as
body Of men opposed to bad government and banded
together for active improvement. Seize upon the
chance now offered in the Independent movements
Preserve the purpose OF the individuals COM
posing them. In short whether they now succeed or
fall keep them intact for further work. If they can
be kept Intact prevented from losing their present
numbers, they will inevitably grow.
An old resident says of conditions in his ward:
I'VE need man to represent in the House Of Dele
gates. The Republican and Democratic candidates
are not eligible qualified to ask and expect the
support of our decent voters There is an incorpo-
rated Independent organization in the ward formed

WORLD'S-19O4-FAIR
PRESIDENT FRANcIs's RETURN.

PRESIDENT FRANCIS'S RETURN.
Widespread editorial comment and much space in
the news columns to the European movements of
President Francis of the ST. Louis Worlds Fair prove
conclusively that the American and foreign press
alike appreciate the importance Of his work.
Not since the inception of the great enterprise to
celebrate the centennial anniversary Of the Louisiana
Purchase has there been general proclamation OF
its purpose scope and plan. The results attained by
President Francis in the various European capitals
seem to have suddenly aroused the world to realiza
tion of the truth that the universal exposition TO be
held in ST. Louis next year is being conducted under
e management which insures the fullest measure Of
success. 1t may fairly be said that Mr. Francis has
embodied to the world the spirit animang the under
taking Of which he is the head.
This result of Mr.. Francis's labors will eliminate
in the significant demonstrations which to be at
tendant upon his to his country. Both in
New York. the American metropolis and in St Louis,
the Worlds Fair city, the President of the Worlds
Fair will be welcomed in a manner justified by his
service 1t has been that he is the right in
the right place, capable Of competently dischargng
the exceptionally arluous duties which he has under
taken and that this performance Of duty in itself
n sufficient guarantee that the Worlds Fair Of 1904
will break all records in the history Of international
expositions.
With this perception Of the truth controlling the
situation 1t is made certain that International interest
in the Worlds Fair has been stimulated to point
where the fullest foreign and American exhibits are
insured, and where the heartiest cooperation
cess is guaranteed. President Francis has than
fulfilled popular expectation of the results possible
own countrymen should desire testify to the fact
of their appreciation of his achievement. The work
performed by him during the past few weeks Is ma
