| Kentucky h-American, Louisville:
The Irish Standard, of Minneapolis,
celebrated it's twentieth anniversary
last Saturday by issuing sixteen-pag
paper. Edward O'Brien, who has been
the editor of the paper since it's first
appearance, is to be congratulated on
the magnificent specimen of his handi-
work. It is clean geographically and
bright editorially. 1t bristles with in
formation concerning the Northwest
and is in every way readable. The Irish
Standard is, as it were, a mirror re-
fecting the achievements of Irish men
and women in the state of Minnesota
Here's hoping Editor O'Brien may live
to control the destinies of the Irish
Standard till it's fiftieth anniversary
at least.
