IRISH PARLIAMENT
SHOULD BE RESTORED
So Says Mr.. Finnerty, Who Says Land
Bill Victory Is Mere Prelude.

CHICAGO, Aug. 26.-John F. Fin
nerty, president of the United Irish
League of America, has issued an ad-
dress regarding the land bill victory"
in which he says:
ireland, in the passage of the land
purchase bill, has achieved a brilliant
and also substantial victory, but the
greater victory is yet to be won. AS
the commercial reforms of 1880 pre-
ceded the independent Irish parliament
of 1882, so does the land purchase bill
stand as the precursor of the restora-
ton of that parliament with up-to-
date reforms) UNANIMOUSLY destroyed by
England in 1900.
i am in principle an Irish separatist
and will so remain to the last, but L
recognize the benefit that must come
to Ireland by the presence of a native
legislature making laws for an Irish
nation in Dublin or some other great
city of the island. Total separation
would call for an Irish fleet, an Irish
army an Irish treasury overlooking
with golden millions and at least one
powerful ally like France, Germany or
America. L will leave to the judgment
of my fellow countrymen and fellow
citizens how soon all these require
ments are either probable or possible
to Ireland"

NOT TOO LATE TO SIET.

The most encouraging statement
carnival is that the expense list sub
mitted contains many items that will
never be considered by those who pay
the bills, and that when these are lop-
ped off the real expenses may fall
much below the sum hitherto given
out. The most vigorous scrutiny should
be applied to these accounts.
1t would seem to be in order to COM
plete this investigation before there is
any appeal to those who have legltl-
mate claims against the association to
scale down their amounts. There seems
to be no reasonable doubt that many
of these claims are both valid and rea-
sonable They are for material or
services furnished, at fair price Ii
is just as little open to question that
there are other claims which, as the
members of the association say are
either grossly exaggerated or alto
gether improper. Until these latter
are corrected or thrown out, any seal
ing down would work a material injus-
tice.
Everybody unites in praising the
ergy and in regretting that, after the
large amount of money paid in with
the hope that the major portion of it
would go to the public baths, the show
ing is so disappointing. 1t is a thou
sand pities that these contributions
could not have been directly made;
that if the same persons who gave
freely and literally to the carnival
show had been approached. with sub
scription papers in the interest of the
public baths, only a small fraction of
the amount would have been obtained.
But that is human nature, in st. Paul
as elsewhere, and we must make the
best of it.
The first duty, however, is a rigor-
Gus accounting. In all probability it
will be found that, when the claims
against the association are analysed,
there will be money enough not only to
pay all real debts but to leave a small
surplus. And it is important not only
that this should be saved for the baths
but that people should be taught that
they cannot, in such a case as this,
mt in irnnrOner and indecent claims
with impunity.

sible that some of the brood of William
Hennery Eustis is still in those parts,
in which event the conquering hero
would be compelled eventually to
throw himself into the sea to get away
from the proved fact that he was moth
ing and then something less. But there
is no chance of the invaders getting
ashore at any stage of the war game.
In the first place there is the defend
ing contingent The knowledge of the
commanding generals could not be
great, for it would probably be CLEANED
from the summer residents at Bar
Harbor. But they would be backed by
the intimate knowledge of the natives
and inspired to deeds of valor by I'M
bibing of that delightful local drink
known to the observers of the Maine
law as the "stone fence" The Valof
that is contained in the stone fence is
not measurable But for the Ma1nelte
if contains such inspiration as only
comes to those favored of the gods.
The odds are insuperable for the IN
vaders; the victory is of questionable
value to the defenders. But it is pet
ter that the event should result In de-
feat. The assauIting mariners are only
seasick and they will recover. Inc

is a Kelley cure that will deal with
the stone-fence drunkard. But why

THURSDAY, AUGUST 27, 1908.
TOM JOHNSON WINS.

Mayor Tom L. Johnson, of Cleveland,
organization in Ohio, and is its candi-
date for governor. The result was to
be expected and the only cause of re-
gret is that there should be any ques
which it was brought about. For a
state central committee to take upon
itself authority to decide contested
cases in a state convention is an act
that cannot be approved by either
precedent or right. For if this prae-
tice were to be followed, any commit
tee need only be sufficiently arbitrary
and INSCRIPTIONS and it could main
tain itself and the faction with which
it sympathized in power forever.
If such action were unnecessary in
Ohio, as seems most likely. it is all
the more to be deplored, as an evil
example and a ranking source of
party discomfort 1t was altogether
improbable that Mayor Johnson would
be beaten in a fight for leadership of
the Democracy in his state. He is
one of the most picturesque figures in
modern politics. He is fighter who
never knows when he is down, and a
canvasser and organizer of wonderful
ability. He is exceedingly popular, and
has a hold upon the imagination and
the confidence of the people that it is
not easy to shake. Although thinner
man made a splendid fight the odds
against him were too great.
Whatever discomfort there may be
in Ohio over the result of the conven-
ton or it's proceedings should be lost
in united effort for the success of the
party. The platform is. a singing ar
raignment of the Republicans for sins
of which they are guilty, and prom
Use of the help of Democracy for the
cause of the people. "Tom' Johnson,
as everybody Familiarity calls him, has
now another opportunity to show that
he can wrest Ohio from the enemy.
We hope that he will win, and that
Ohio Democrats will show that solid
front to the foe which, under their
gallant leaders in the past, more than
once brought them to victory.

Sam Parks.

The conviction of Sam Parks, walk
ing delegate, for extortion. should be
profitable for reproof both to labor
unions and employers. Parks has been
the typical, staggering, bulldozing
walking delegate, making all the trou-
BILE he could and making it for the
benefit of his own pocket. He has had
long tether; but he has come to the
end Of it. The unions cannot hold to-
gether if they tolerate fellows of the
Parks stripe.S And what is to be said
of the employers who, in weakness or
desperation, have allowed themselves
to be blackmailed? For them, too, the
conviction of Sam Parks has lesson.

What the Editors Say

There is possibility that someone
down at Hudson has been sidestepping
or ducking away from paying his
proper proportion of the taxes of the
county, judging by the following from
the Star and Times: The deliberate
tax dodger is not entitled to the re-
spect or good will of any patriotic cit
izen. Every person should count it a
duty to bear his equitable share of the
maintenance of our public benefits and
institutions. The man who will evade
or move from town to town, or from
state to stated to escape debt which
he owes to society is entitled to cold
place in this world and a hot one in the
world to come. Taxation, when the
money is wisely and honestly used,
confers upon all of the people some of
its best and most lasting blessings.
No honest person will seek to escape
his just share in these prime assess
ments upon thel race. Shame on the
tax dodger. -Stillwater Gazette
Those cold-bIooded murderers, the
young Nelson brothers, of Owatonna,
who have been tried, convicted of muir

justice by smart lawyers that creates
general distrust and gives lynch law
and mobs an excuse for existence. and
too often allows it to become operative.
When such murderers can cheat the

THE GREED OF CHICAGO.


A writer in the current number of
McClure's Magazine presents in some
what reporter-lik fashion. present-day
Industrial conditions in Chicago. No
attempt is made in the article to solve
the problem that these conditions sug-
gest, nor does the writer delve deeply
conditions as investigation hassrevealt
ed them to him. American cities have
not all been cut after one pattern, and
it is, perhaps, safe to assume that of
all the large American cities, Chicago
has the most intense individuality. The
article in question gives most re-
pulsive view of that individuality; for
not once in it's report of the clashlng
of base motives is any reference made
to an unselfish influence at work to
better conditions. Had the writer dis
covered such an influence, doubtless he
would have been glad to use it if only
to furnish high light for gloomy
picture,
The article does not give the reader
a view of a gigantic struggle. 1t pic
lures instead a series of petty conflicts
in which greed and greed only is the
motive. And it is not a view of con-
f1ict between labor and capital, two
Titans struggling for control. 1t is a
view of capital and labor joining hands
to do the community, and it reads
very much like an account In the ponce
columns of a newspaper of servant
inside and a burglar outside Joining
hands to rid the householder OF ms
spoons. But it isn't at all funny; for
the householder that is, the morgan
lied body of men, stands no chance,
apparently, of retaining his spoons in
Chicago Capital brides and labor
slugs, and the robbery is committed.
Those who look forward to a union
of capital and labor as a solution OF
the industrial problem will not feel
encouraged when they read the story
of the cooperation of the Coal Team
sters' union and the Coal Team Own
ers' association. They came together
to put an end to their own chickering's,
but they remained together to prey on
the Chicago public. But such COM
bination is eminently Chicagoesque in
spirit, and there is probably no other
city in the United States where the
theory of the greatest good for the
greatest number is SO seldom put into
practice.
It would seem that the cultivation of
a higher ideal of citizenship alone will
help Chicago. Greed has had too large
a part in her development in the past,
and it is this same spirit of greed
that today detracts from the tri-
umph of a one hundredth anniversary
celebration. If there was an esprit de
corps among her labor unions, if there
was such a spirit among her various
employers associations. she would
have to face merely the problem that
is forcing itself on every Industrial
center today. But each association,
each union is working for itself against
the public, and combines with other
associations or other unions only when
greed prompts.
