According to the general staff, how

Delmonicos.

New York, March 1S.-PTesident
Roosevelt was the guest of honor last
night at the 121st annual dinner of the
Friendly Sons of st. Patrick. He was

bers of the society and its guests and
responded in a notable address.
A banquet was given in the golden

capacity. So great was the demand for
tickets that the society was obliged to
refuse more than 1000 applications.

annex were beautifully decorated with
festoons of stars, and stripes, into
which was effectively woven the green
and gold flag of Erin. Immediately

The proceedings are the same as

Some Questions7

that an association has been formed by the planters to destroy 8 million bales of 1t. - wonder why2 Stop now, spend some time in reflection and see if you can think of anyone who could use some of that million bales that is to be burned-would the world be better or worse off for them having used it?
 With modern machinery used in the production and milling of wheat and baking of bread. It is being produced, according to the Thirteenth Annual Report of the U. s. Commission of Labor, for a labor cost of less than one minute per one pound loaf At cents per loaf how much wages would you need to get to buy back eight hours product of bread2
 Three thousand dollar cats in Los Angeles, "Cat Clubs" in Chicago, as well as refuge for the homeless neg lected cats; and then-there are, accord ing to the best available medical statis- tics, about 10, ,OO0 children who starve to death annually in this country. How shall these be harmonized?
 If you find anyone who gets something without producing it, you are sure to find some one ,who produces something without getting it, if you brush the cob webs from your eyes. This is as true in Imperial as elsewhere.
 Socialism is fine thing but it won't work? Now who ever saw an engine work while it's parts were all disjolnted and what was it that took place if it was not organizing the parts, in order to make it work?
 Before you say again in answer to Socialist "It always was and always will be-" just stop and consider for moment the number of things that always had been until at last their end cane. Before tine tanning of animals and the invention of the first vehicle; for instance, "walking always had been" the best means of travel. Did it always remain so?
 If you have given amount of prop erty and consider yourself well to do, and all your neighbors have twice as much as you, and then by misfortune their property is partly destroyed, so they have each only half as much as you, will you be more wealthy than you were before? Or if you had the best house in town, say fOur-room cottage,  and all your neighbors have only two room shanty, and then by good fortune for them each one became able to build a house superior and more valuable than yours, would your house or you be any poorer afterward than before? Again, how can you judge your own wealth by your neighbors poverty, or your poverty by your neighbors wealth? How can you console yourself by saying "well, if I am bad off there are others worse.
 The trouble with you Socialists is that 1 you do not practice what you preach, Society must collectively own the means ! of production and distribution. They must be managed "democratively" iD order that the worker may be guaranteedV
