The press of the whole country is
discussing the Irish land question aud
congrat ulations are freely offered the
people of that unhappy island on a
possible happy termination of their
difficulties. The British government
proposes to issue bonds and from the
proceeds of their sale the government
will buy the estates from tbs landlord
The government will then sell the
estates to the tenants on annual pay
ments, which will be much lower than
the rentals now exacted by the land
lords, and will extend over a lono
period Of years. There are 4CO,O
tenants and 100000 acres of pro-
ductive land in Ireland, so the under
taking is big one in several respects
Ii necessary $500, 900, 900 will be used
by the government in buying estates
from the landlords. Eighty per cent
of the landlords have agreed to the
plan proposed and the balance will
doubtless do so.

Among the large majority of our
lawmakers, regardless of the party to
which they belong. the good of party
is placed before right and truth. Con-
gressmen who should be among the
highest type of our manhood, are all
too willing to sacrifice themselves and
what they know to be justice and
right for, what they term, the good Of
party. But right here the question
arises, is it for the good of the party j?
In the end it will simply mean destruct-
ion. Its temporary result may at the
time seem successful but at last, right
must triumph and the party which
stands unfalteringly for right and
truth, will eventually be successful
though for the time being it may go
down in defeat.
Many of the pre- c eedings in the nat
ional legislature of this country are a
disgrace to the nation. Men placed
in the highest position of honor and
trust, will sacrifice principle for mere
policy or because some political mani
pulator speaks the word. 1t seems
strange that such proceedings can go
on in the affairs of government and be
winked at by men who would abhor it
in any other Of the walks of life.
The highest well-being and perma-
nent success of our government will
only be reached when men are sent to
congress who are fearless in the path
of duty and right, regardless of party
good and party success. May the day
speedily dawn when our government
will be composed of such men, alone.

President Roosevelt could not have
selected a better topic for his address
at Chicago than the Monroe doctrine.
Americans, without regard to party or
class, cherish the doctrine and will be
as one with the president in his efforts
to uphold it. In enforcing this doctrine
the United States is but discharging a
duty it owes to itself, no matter what
benefit such enforcement may be to
other countries. Our power has be-
come so great, our possessions are SO
large, that we can never pc NIT a
European country to obtain a foothold
on this continent. Should Germany
or any other country obtain possession
OF territory in Central or South Amer
lea our interests would immediately
clash and we would be involved in one
of the most disastrous wars of modern
times. This must not happen, and the
one and only safe preventive is a
strict enforcement of the Monroe doc
trine, and the American people will
expect this policy to be adhered to
religiously.

FOR CLEAN POLITICS.

Loftiness of principle and purity of
action, are as essential to the highest
ideal In politics as in other matters of
mans daily life, All men admire these
qualifications in all lines of business
transactions and in fact they are the
only qualities which lead, in the end,
to true success. But do we find them
today in the high places of our govern
ment? No, sad to say. our Legislators
are too often found to be possessed of
the very opposite.

The CHICAGO RECORD-HERALD has
conceived the unique idea of assigning
page of it's Sunday edition to the
public for the free discussion of import
ant question of the day. Under the
head ''The Battle Ground of Modern

the public for the same discussion of
all problems engaging the attention of

present their views on subjects not
generally treated in the daily press,

THE PLANS OF THE SEAT
TIE IRON & STEEL
COMPANY.

This company will Immediately
remodel and enlarge it's Blast Fur
mace at Irondale, increasing it's
capacity to so tons of Charcoal
Pig Iron per day. The eighteen
carloads of materials with which
to remodel this Furnace are now
on the grounds. We expect to
have the repairs and enlarge
ments, now under way, complet-
O. and to nave the Furnace back
into blast, within 80 days, max
ing so tons of Pig Iron per day.
There is an enormous demand for
this high grade iron, which can
be marketed at minimum profit
of $500 per tOn-thus giving this
company a profit daily of $500 on
the operation of this Furnace
alone.
The new Open-Hearth Steel
Plant and Rolling Mills, each with
a capacity of so tons per day, and
the new 200-ton per day Blast
Furnace of this company, will be
erected upon the splendid site that
has been secured ON THE WA
TER FRONT AT WEST Sc
ATTLE.
The company now owns new
modern 12-inch Rolling Mill, con
sisting of five stands of three-high
rolls, and a 2Ox36x3O new Tod
Tandem Compound Engine. This
mill, which is the best and most
modern that money can buy, has
arrived in Seattle and is now at
the Oriental Warehouse. 1t will
be installed at West Seattle as
soon as the foundation and build
ings can be prepared for its. re-
ception.
In addition to this 12-inch Mer-
chant Mill, the company will also
install a 22-inch Merchant mill
at the same place.
