 Speaking of the convention, MT. O'Neill said last night
 "The convention was the largest, most harmonious and enjoyable that the Knights of Columbus have ever had. Every state and territory in the union and Canada were represented. The dele gates were entertained royalty by the chamber of commerce and other organiza tions. over $25O00 was spent by the com
 ittee on entertainment.
 he convention will mean a great deal for Birmingham if this city succeeds in securing it. as 1t is estimated that the visitors in Los Angeles spent over s20O0O0. I believe that a majority of the delegates were in favor of this city for 1907."

Dnnrayen on Ireland.

The Earl Of Dunraven, an Irishman, a
Conservative, and close student OF
sociology and politics in the island of his
race, is giving his party in England
something to think about 10 his pamph'
let, 1.-THE Crisis in Ireland; an Account
of the Present Condition, with Sugges-
tions for Reform" He comes out square
ly for home rule, and his argument is so
logical, 30 temperate, so devoid of what
we Americans call "buncombe" that it is
bound to have great Influence. Among
other things he says:
"Ireand's best are continually drifting out,
while her worst are drifting towards lunatc
asylums, and the remainder viii remain in
Ireland only by necessity.
"Thc Irish are not lazy or devoid Of INTEL
hgence. They DO good work and become
leaders of men in every quarter Of the globe.
Their need at home is that teaching which the
responsibility for their own affairs alone can
give.
"Ireland cannot be Anglicizcd; sire knows
her own affairs best, and should manage her
own affairs. If the union is to b. maintained
an active. living, democratic and progressive
policy must be applied to the cause ofdecay. "
Truly enough, Ireland cannot be An
glicized, and the parliament OF Great
Britain will one day see that fact in all
its blaZing truth. But Ireland, self-gov
erned, as Canada or Australia is self-gov-
erned, would 10 another generation be a
loyal and productive part OF the British
empire. Boston Journal
