member OF the executive board of the
international Brotherhood OF Firemen
and delegate to the American Fedora
tlon Of Labor, returned Tuesday after
two-weeks' trip TO Wisconsin, and
reported that the organization idea
has taken hold OF the farmers all over
the state.
Situation Further West.
From further west reports were
brought by j. J. Stonsteby, OF the
United Garment Workers union, who
declared that while travelling through
Montana, Idaho and states further
south in the interests of his union, he
hao found the farm owners and thet.

men came from the surrounding coun-

perfect central organization among
the country divisions in which the
farmer folk OF nearby counties had
been united.
"This American Society OF Equity ia
not entirely new, but II is just be-

They are being taught to believe that

better rates from the railroads and de-
stroy the middlemen, who now reap
rich haryests from the labor OF the
producers. The society is working on

need for workers to enrich the idle
class that exploits the less cunning

WHILE REDMOND WAS HERE

William Redmond has come and gone His
coming started the hope that people of the Irish
race would get together in this city and look each
other in the face That they could put the ques-
ton to Redmond which was put to "Napper Tandy,"
and receive trst-handed reply from man in the
thick of the fight in Parliament The hope was
realized in the cordial welcome given to the Home
Ruler. The answer was given to magnificent
audience who listened to the statements and conclu
sions of earnest, serious, cool-headed patriot.
William Redmond has gone but his message
fingers and will develop into something practicable
for the cause it announced. Voices like his can
never disappear. His was plain discourse devoid
of the least semblance of dramatic oratory. Every
sentence was filed with knowledge. Irishmen rea-
sonably posted in the affairs of their native land
know more than they did before they saw and
heard Redmond. Americans excusably ignorant of
the causes underlying Irish discomfort but sympa-
thzing with all peoples struggling for sef-govern-
ment, away from the Redmond lecture with
higher appreciation of their Celtic fellow citizens
Perhaps few were disappointed because Redmond
did not turn out to be Tim Healy orator and
deliver something the style of Healys speech on
Uganda in Parliament. At the end even such per-
SonS "oulu nave concluded thaJ the presentation
of Ireland's wrongs and suggestions for their re-
peal made in the sober spirit and earnest language
of Redmond could effect better results in one hour
than all the speeches Healy would ever make The
weight of American sober opinion goes with men
like William Redmond.
William Redmond met with number of lead
ing Irish Americans in Colonel Geoghegans Office
on Thursday morning. An informal talk over the
plan for local organization of the Irish National
League resulted in the pledge of those present to
go ahead and establish branch at once Another
meeting will be called in the near future to perfect
the organization, and due notice will be given.
Mr. Redmond and his accomplished wife left
for the east in the afternoon

Plans for a federation of all Catholic military
organizations in the United States were discussed
at the convention Of the Order of Catholic Knights
of America at Chicago. For the purpose of sound
ing the sentiment of members of the various mill
tary orders, conference of officers of the organi-
cation will be called in a few days. We trust the
plan will be abandoned. It is too suggestive of
Masonic uniform. Far better to throw aside the
gold and tnse of military trappings and adopt the
sober dress suit and hat with nothing for
midable in a Knights grasp than summer cane.
Give us the appearance of peace rather than the
appearance of war. Just as well not to excite big
otry and be pointed out as American members of
the .Swiss Guard"

How little we appreciate the value of trifes
only equals ones establishment at their magnitude
when they stare at us through multiplied units
Hen and hen fruit, for example. Our idea of the
sugar trust is carried along with the idea of vast
sum of money; but it is drop in the bucket when
compared with the value of the hen and the signs
of her cackle. The sugar production of the coun-
try one recent year was but $20,OO000O; for the
year egg and poultry earnings" amounted
to $2S0,0O00OO! The great American hog as con-
sumed at home and abroad brought $186,529,035;
therefore away and below the chicken. What
knocks the conceit out of US in this mining region
Is the proof presented by statistics that the value
of all the gold and silver dug up and the value of
all the wool and sheep in this country makes a
row of figures over which the rooster may crow in
derision 1t is only $272434,315. Unless proof is
presented that chicken statistics have been stuffed
like the cotton report, are forced to yield to the
majesty of the cock of the walk.

BISHOP TIMON AND THE QUEEN

A valued literary friend in Mobile. Ala. writes
to the Boston Pilot: The latest Pilot charmed
me and led me sweety back to dear old times, espe
elally the part about Bishop Timon and his travels
IN Europe, during which he did some begging for
his cathedral. To use the new English, the good
bishop circulated pretty freely among the
crowned heads. Well, he told me that he knew very
well the Queen of Sardinia who had most miser-
able life with her husband King Victor Emmanuel
whose private life you know was far from that of
SAINT. This industrious queen wrought for the
holy old bishop handsome set of vestments which
he wore ON festivals and gave him all the aims she
could spare from her other charities. which we're
numerous. The bishop gave her much consolation
and wise direction and she seemed quite reconcied
and able to bear her heavy cross when he spoke To
her OF the sufferings of Christ, the shortness of
time and the nothingness of this passing world 7
asked the bishop in which language these commupi-
cations were carried on. He said "Tn French y
which the queen spoke very well. The bishop spoke
french well, too. He said when he called at the
palace IN Turin by appointment to see her majesty.
the officers spoke of him as "the Bishop from the
other world" l remember being very much inter-
ested in this poor queen and her sad life. After
her death the king married morganatically the
woman for whom he neglected his viltuous, amiable
wife.

WHY MAKE IT A sEcREre

A former Freemason Sir Francis Burnand.
asks: "Can Christian be a Masonl7 His reply
may be seen in his action in renouncing the lodge
and entering the Church. Sir James Crichten
Browne, put the query very neatly to a well known
Mason holding high Office in the fraternity: IF
Masonry has secret the knowledge of which would
knowledge to itself is immoral If, ON the other
hand, the secret is not for the benefit of mankind
IN protesting it to be so Masonry is again guilty
of an immoral act. If you Masons say that it is
only to benefit certain persons, who are prepared
to receive such knowledge then there is an end of
the Brotherhood of Freemasonry.

JAPAN HAS HER PORTSMOUTH.

Russia had her Mukden and now Japan has her
Portsmouth. Such is the briefest way to announce
the end of hostilities in the Far East. Russia is
beaten in war, but triumphant for peace. Triumph
ant because she rejected the main propositions of
indemnity and total loss of the island of Sakhalin.
and because Japan yielded the contention and
withdrew the proposals. With those obstacles re-
moved, all is clear sailing for the preparation
of a treaty to be signed by the plenipotentiaries
of both countries. This in short is the story which
few hardly expected would be told on last Tuesday.
How it happened and why it happened, our readers
may learn by turning to the first page of this pa
per.
While everybody but his enemies in Russia
praise the diplomacy of NJ. dc Witte which. along

The japanese knew that Russia had billion

Russia could continue the war though its armies
were driven into Siberia, and even into Russia in
Europe Japan could not follow up It's victory and
would be the end of its financial resources.
Therefore it was expediency and not magnanim-
