may we'll feel proud Of her a. and
M. College and the noble band Of
professors in every department
| who are laboring so earnestly
land successfully for the promo
tion of the agricultural and me-
chanical conditions of tie State.
Prof. Hardy is beyond all ques-

Ime to attempt to give to each one
Eof the faculty of the College the
praise due them. Il would re-
lquire volume to do the subject

much left unsaid.
This being an abnormal year,
of course agricultural conditions
at the College are not SO good as
they we're last year, yet there is
Eenough to be seen to inspire the
/ visitor with love and admiration
for agriculture and its kindred
employments.
1 It would be impossible for me,
within proper limits, to comment
upon the many able addresses de-
IliVered by men who have their
hearts in their work. | know the
impression has, and does now, to
some extent prevail, that as gen
eral rule the agricultural editor
and speaker is a man who never
stood between the pillow handles,
fed a. horse or MIXED COW, but
those / heard lecture we're men
who had learned their lessons in
the school Of experience, coupled
with the advantages of a college
course.
Space will not allow me to al
lude to all Of those / heard, but
Prof. Huil's lecture on manual
training, is especially worthy Of
mention. It was one Of the most
scholarly and impressive that i
have ever heard. His conclusions
are that the proverbialIy dull boy
can by proper course Of train
ing, one that develops the mental
and physical, be made to dis
charge the duties of life as sue
cessfuIly and hOnorabIy as his
more gifted brothers.

Through the support of tue Gaelic league here and with the blessing of God we will be able to bring them to n success"
 Here the speaker thanked the local Gaelic club for voting n contribution to the object for which the lecture was given, and also to Divisions 2 and ,, to the Women's auxiliary of the \. Q. H. and to the Patrick Sarstield club for similar support.
 The rest of the lecture was given over to few particulars regard,ng t1e industries whi :,l.. bishop O. Elphin is endea voring to establish for the enefit of the ItOrl. of Ros:olnMon county.
 Five years ago" said the speaker, Lord Dillon sold his estate to what we call the board of c0ngested dis tricts. The board divided the land up into farms and advertised for tenants. For few years the project stood at a stand still. Then the bishop of Elphtn brought over from Belgium number | of sisters and installed them on the property. Now the people are getting along very well. There are schools of 1 various kinds where the children are | taught domestic economy, and the making of faces, carpet weaving, ana artificial flowers. The children are showing wonderful aptitude for such work but so far the enterprise is not self-s,pporting The land cost the bishop $15,0OO and the object of Fath- CT O'Flanagan's tour through the states is to raise sufficient to pay off that debt and to pay the children and other workers something for their la bor. Many of them are now in re- ceipt of weekly wage, but the ma jolity of them are not.
 Father O'Flanagan then withdrew and was given hearty applause,
 On the stage were Fathers Crowley, Traynor and Martin.

The French telephone service has just accorded to the public one of those lit- tie amenities of civilization which might. with obvious advantage, be ex- tended throughout the world.

KANSAS LhNCED AGAIN

The Kansas oil refining project which
pected to down" the Standard Oil company in that
state has struck snag that seems sure to sink 1t.
Not only the socalled oil refining law of Kansas is in
volved in decision just rendered by the state supreme
court, but also broad underlying principle. The es-
of the decision is that the state cannot be party
in carrying on any works of internal improvement
The crusade that Kansas started against the Stand
ard Oil company resulted in plan that thought
to be feasible and effective 1t to fight the Stand
ard its ground by of a refinery owned and
operated by the state Recognizing the fact that the
state could not establish ordinary industrial business
the plan hit upon to make the refinery feature of
state prison industry. The plant to be constructed
and operated far possible by convict labor The
project is well advanced, but it to be knocked
entirely by the judgment that the whole proceeding
is unconstitutional.
The decision of the court relates only to the state
constitution of Kansas. The declaration in that nsru
ment is so specific in its bearing the in point
that it strange the refining scheme carried
far before the obstacle detected Nothing
be palmer than the statement, which the decision
hinged that he state shall be party in carrying
on any works of internal improvement"
The moral of this Kansas jolt is found in the old
saying that it is we'll to look before you leap"
