deserving names, but there is no in

Only for the papers named and 9TH
ers like them, the Irish element in
America would, by this time, have
been utterly obliterated. The Cath

lows like Erie" and "Crom-a-Boo"
would be accepted by the American
newspapers and public as representing
Irish sentiment, and, instead of being
recognized as a respectable section
Of the American body polite, the Irish
element would be unrecognized, or, If
recognized at all, only to be mentioned
with a sneer, as undeserving of seri-

The American daily press is too
busy with other matters to pay more
than passing attention to Irish
American affairs and interests. When
not actively hostile, as in the case of
the New York Times, the American
daily papers are Indifferent or mat

of. the race itself constantly. and keeps
up q healthy glow of exercise In pun
melting the foes of Ireland and the
Irish.
Irish-Americans do not despise your
press because 1t Is weekly. The
weekly, guided by principle and pur-
pose. is still power in the land and
can make tyrants and bigots quake.
Do not despise it! That it Is not
daily Is the fault of yourselves. Irish
Americans, not of the Irish-American
p:ess. The truth is, Irish Americans
and get angry if you will-you are, as
a great majority, mean and stingy
toward your own press, and you are
put to shame by the Hebrews, the
Germans the Poles and the Bohemi-
ans, who value their own press, sup
port and stand by it. You, Irish
Americans, except few, will not ad-
vertise in your own press. You will
not subscribe for your own papers. or.

The Irish-American press is always

Inspector @. w. Gano, of Cincin-
natl, yesterday afternoon completed
his work Of inspecting electrical wir-
ing in Paducah, and left last night
for home. He will make a report to
the Underwriters association, but
the result of his work will have no
general effect on insurance rates in

but not many.
"The only thing / have to do is to
report on each risk. II the changes
recommended have not been made

You can say that insurance compa-
MES do not want risks on which
there are penalties. They prefer a
straight risk, and the penalty is
put on only for the purpose OF hav-
ing needed alterations made. When
you touch a mans pocketbook he is
usually moved 10 action quicker than
any other way. These risks with pen
alties are usually bad investments
from an Insurance standpoint. A
straight risk, as | said before, is
more desirable than one on proper

Mr.. Gano was considered too rad

CONSTITUTION passed at Jne last el-cs'on,
and legislators expect q spirited con-
troversy at the next session over bill
abolfshing the grand jury system and
substituting plan of indictment on
presentation by the county attorney. 4
The proposal to amend the constitu-:
ton in this respect was introduced in
the senate by George R. Laybourn OF
Duluth and was passed after hard
contest. The amendment changes the
constitutional provision that no one
shall be charged with crime Except
on Indictment by the grand jury" to
read that no one shall be charged with
a crime Except by due process of law"
This allows the legislature to prescribe
any plan of Indictment it desires The
legislature may abolish the grand jury
system entirely, or it may provide that
in ordinary cases indictments shall be
made on information by the county at
torney and authorize the judge of the
district court to call a jury to consider

The larger the hotel, the more it has

as "Rubberneck Row" for those who

the difficulty. The desire is keenest
to sit in the St. Regis corridors and

size of the hotel makes it easier to
