A reception will be given at city
hall Jan. q, Saturday afternoon, that
promises to be of unusual interest to
the ladies of Palestine and vicinity. In
line with their usual policy of doing
nothing by halves, the National Bis
cult Company, after perfecting the fin
est line of biscuit, crackers and waters
in the world, has determined to illus
trate their superiority in most unus-
usl way, regardless of expense.
In accordance with preliminary ar
rsngements made some time agu, the
special reception and exhibition COM
mittee of the National Biscuit Compa-
ny will arrive in the city within few
days, and active preparations for the
coming entertainment will soon be
under way. Special decorations for
the reception have arrived from Chi
cago, and will be arranged by the corps
of decorators who accompany the
committee.
This reception has been arranged to
scqusInt the ladies of Palestine with
the possibilities of perfect baking
baking that is not only a science but
an art. Quite as important as perfect
baking is the protection which the
National Biscuit Company give their
products by using package which
excludes all air, dust and moisture,
thus placing them on the table as fresh
and pure as when they left the oven.
Until within a few years the pur-
chssers OF crackers or biscuit had no
choice but to buy from an open box or
barrel. If they CHANGED to be clean
when they left the barrel, they were
more or less broken by the time they
had been carried home in a paper bag.
They we're stale or more 50, depend
ing on whether the barrel has been
open one day or many
Such was the condition ,of affairs
which the National Biscuit Company
determined to overcome, and did over
come in the production Of Uneeds Bis
cult. Made of the best material the
world affords, by methods of baking
that have been brought to an exact
science, Uneeds Biscuit is today the
superlative of the soda cracker, and
the staff of life in million homes.
Quickly following Uneeda Biscuit
came other delicious products of the
bakers art, perfected in the same bak-
cries, and protected in the same pack
ages. Among these are the Oyster
cites, Butter Thin Biscuit, Graham
Crackers, Social Tea Biscuit, Zu IN
Ginger Snaps and others. All these
have their crisp deliciousness and pur-
ity assured to the consumer by the
trade mark OF the National Biscuit
Company on each end of the package.
Among the other good things to be
served with the refreshments at the
coming reception will be Nsbisco Sugar
Waters and Festino Almonds. These
are the most delicious of CONNECTIONS,
delightful in flavor and unusual in
form.
The ladies Of Palestine and vicinity
will find this reception most pleasant
and profitable entertainment. Re-
freshments will be served under the
supervision Of q chef, who accompa-
MES the committee, and an enjoyable
musical program will be rendered by
the Jones Orchestra. There will be a
hearty welcome for every guest. Don't
miss 1t.

sponsibility as a citizen. The Ulster>
man had been taught to look to Eng
land as his native land, to mistake
loyalty to England for patriotism, and
then wondered why he was regarded
as an alien. Independent Orangemen
put their country first in their affec-
ton, and were persuaded that he was
the true Unionist and the true loyal
list who endeavored to make his coun-
try Il living, progressive unit in a
federated empire. Following the res
direction Of national ideals in Ulster,
it was only natural that they as Irish
men should protest against the dena-
| tionalization of their country and the
deliberate attempts which had been
made to rob her of her peculiar ma
tional characteristics. Whatever ig-
norant. unthinking men might say to
the contrary, Ireland had an individu-
atty all her own. and her true destiny
lay in it's natural growth and develop
ment. Ireland could only develop
along her own individual lines. 4

self must be true, and it followed, as
night the day, she could not then be
false to the ideals of nationality or to
those evolutionary laws that governed
individual and national progress.

BE COURTEOUS.

Minneapolis can not be too courteous
and considerate in it's treatment Of the
old soldiers the coming week. The
time is fast approaching when there
will be no more encampments of the
Grand Army of the Republic The
great majority of those who SO faiths
fully served the country in the war for
the abolition of slavery have already
passed beyond, and 4 large proper
ton Of those who still remain have all
ready attained to the allotted age of
most when the last man who served in
that war will answer the final sum-
mons. If the people of Minneapolis
keep these facts in mind they cannot
fail in extending to the old men the
treatment to which their past great
services entitle them. We should ell
deavor to Guido, if possible, all past
efforts at entertainment. 1t is to be
hoped that the people of Minneapolis

old soldiers as simply an opportunity
to make money. Some there are who
will be inclined to make the most OF
it in that direction, but it is to be
hoped that the people of the city as
Il whole will do their very best to
make the visitors feel at home. In
the natural course of events Minne-
apolis cannot expect to ever again
have the opportunity of entertaining
the old soldiers. They will have no
successors, and, consequently, we will
never have n chance to correct any
failures in courtesy or fair treatment
that may occur. Let us endeavOr to
make the delinquencies as few as pos
sible, and send the old veterans to their
homes with the thought that those who
are now doing the active work Of the
world appreciate the great service that
they rendered almost half a century
ago.

IRISH HOPES STILL HIGH.

The Parliament which adjourned
last week for the mid summer recess
accomplished nothing in the way Of
legislation for the relief of Ireland. The
situation does not seem to in the least
discourage or even disappoint the Irish
Nationalists. Recent remarks made
by Mr.. John Redmond leave only one
conclusion to be drawn. and that is
that the Liberal ministry and the Irish
Nationalist have an understanding
that Ireland Is to be looked after dur
ing the next session. Redmond recent
ly said as much, but rightly refused to
disclose what the understanding is.
Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman has
proven himself much stronger Prime
Minister than was expected. He has
attained higher place in the estima.

Father Vaughan.

Rev. Bernard Vaughan, ST., who
has created such sensation with his
sledge-hammer sermons on the London
"snart-set" and their shortcomings, e
a brother Of the departed prelates.
Cardinal Herbert Vaughan. Archbfshop
of Westminster, and Dr. Roger Rode
Vaughan, Archbishop of Sydney. The
latter achieved a great reputation as
an orator in Australia, and it was by
attacks upon him that Prophet Eli
jah' Dowie, of Zion City. Chicago,
uhen the pastor Of a Free Christian
Tabernacle" in Sydney. first emerged
into notoriety. The following vivid
en-portrait of Father Vaughan, 81.
appeared some years ago, and was
afterwards printed in a collection of
studies of famous preachers: His
face recalls Verestchagins Napoleon,
1t is alive with sharp edges and keen
curves. Sheer into the black biretta,
rises the high. straight forehead, cleft
down the center with clear, vertical
furrow. The alert eyebrows clutch the
corners of the trenchant temples. The
merry ardent eyes shoot arrows of at
tentlon at the people. The passionate
~ moulded nose, with it's eagerly d.
lated nostrils. cuts the air like plune-
ing prov. The ascetic lips are siren
uously mobile, swiftly responding to
all the nuances of emotion. The Jaw
and chin are squarely set, and the
small. sensitive ear is delicately poised
on the symmetrical head. Such is the
man to whom the Holy Father gave his
own well-worn rosary Is a spiritual
Victoria Cross for spiritual valor."

said that the gas company is far less
i'll politics than the water department
of our city government. IL the peo>
pie of Minneapolis are paying too much
for their gas there ought to be rem
edy and certainly there will be one in
1910. Far greater and better service
can be rendered to the people of this
city by sustained and vigorous effort
to secure an honest and efficient coun-
Gil that will be prepared to deal with
the gas company when it's franchise
expires than by appealing to the preju-
dice. ineXperience and lack of knowl-
edge of voters by advocating nrunici-
pal ownership. Municipal ownership is
not a panacea for all the evils that ex.
list in municipal administration. Able
and wealthy men such as the late Ex-
Governor Pingree, of Michigan, ana
Tom Johnson, the present mayor of
Cleveland, have, by advocating munici-
pal ownership of certain public utili-
ties, brought about good results in the
way of better regulation of public ser
vice corporations but municipal owns
erShip itself on a large scale in large
cities in this country is still Il theory.
In theory it may be right but as a
actical proposition in cities where
city councils can not be trusted with
the duties now conferred upon them
municipal ownership would surely be
failure. 1t would confer upon domi-
nant political bosses far greater power
than they now possess.
Those who are advocating municipal
ownership in this city could accom>
plsh more by directing their attention
and energy to the election of aldermen
pledged and bound to IL platform Of
municipal regulation than by attempt
ing to nominate and elect a mayor VINO
would have no power to bring about
municipal ownership even If the scheme
We're practicable. We think that the
campaign in favor of municipal own
ership as carried on at the present time
in Minneapolis is ill-timed. 1t will
help to perpetuate present conditions
by diverting the peoples attention from
the things that are possible to those
that are impossible.

ton of both OF his supporters and op.
ponents than he held as leader of the
minority. The principal measure over
which contention arose during the last
session was the English educational
bill. Upon this measure the Irish Ma
tionalists supported their English Cath.
Ollie brethren and voted against the
Liberal ministry, but upon every other
question the Irish have been loyal to
Campbell Bannerman. The educa-
tional bill has stirred England to 1.
greater extent than any other measure
in recent years. Not since the time of
Cromwell has the religious passion OF
the people been so thoroughly aroused.
The measure has passed the House of
1t is too early to say what treatment
it will receive at their hands. If one
were to judge by the remarks attribut-
ed to leading members of the House
of Peers he would conclude that the
education bill of the new govern
ment would be defeated and thrown
out. 1t is probable however, that an
honest attempt will be made to arrive
at /; compromise. Bannerman's scheme
of self-government for the Beers met
at first with violent opposition from.
MIR. Balfour and his colleagues but now
even the Unionists admit that the bill
is better than could be expected.
Reynolds newspaper in recent is
sue stated on what it called good au-
thority that a scheme of self-govern-
ment for Ireland had been agreed upon
and would be introduced into the
House of Commons during the next
session. 1t is known that Chief Sec
rotary Bryce will introduce IL bill large
fy extending the Irish system of local
| government, recognizing Dublin Cas-
tie and sweeping away most of the
numerous boards that now govern Ire
land with /; view to placing the whole
executive system under the control Of
the Irish people. 1t is true that that
alone would not constitute Home Rule
| in the sense which that term was UNI
derstood in GladstOne's Home Rule
bills, but it is, nevertheless. a long
step in advance and possibly Is as
much as could be obtained at the pres
ent time from Tory House of Lords.
Sir Anthony Mcdonnell expressed in
Dublin. on August 4th. that 1907 will
see the satisfaction of many wishes
which the best Irishmen have cher
ished for many years. He did not
claim for it that it would bring the
full fruition of all the hopes that many
Irishmen have entertained but it
would. he said, mean so much that
lrishmen if true to themselves, could
make it the source from which in time
their brightest dreams might be real
lied.

The King and the irishman.

Frederick of Prussia, it is said, had
great mania for enlisting gigantic
soldiers into the Royal Guards, and
paid an enormous bounty to his re-
cruiting officers for getting them, says
the Pittsburg Observer. This fact is
the basis of the following story from
Judges magazine:
One day the recruiting sergeant
CHANGED to espy Hibernian who was
at least seven feet high. He accosted
him in English and proposed that he
should enlist. The idea of military
life and large bounty so delighted
Patrick that he at once enlisted.
But unless you can speak German
the King will not give you so much.
"oh," said the Irishman sure 1
don't know word of German"
But" said the sergeant, these you
can learn in a short time The King
knows every man in the guards. AS
soon as he sees you he will ride up and
ask you how old you are; you win
say twenty-seven; next how long you
have been in the service; you must
reply three weeks; finally, if you are
provided with clothes and rations, YOU
answer both
Pat soon learned to pronounce hist
answers, but never dreamed of learn
ing the questions.
In three weeks he appeared before
the king in review. His Majesty rode
up to him. Patrick stepped forward
with Present arms"
How old are your said the king.
Three weeks" said the Irishnan.
How long have you been in the
service?' asked His Majesty.
"Twenty-seven years."

King.

TOO MUCH LAW.

New YORK Judge has recently de-
cided that law in that state pre-
venting women working in factories
before six O'Clock in the morning and
after nine o'clock at night is uncon-
stitutiOnal. The court held that wo-
men have q right to earn their liv-
ing and have q; right to work at such
hours as they please. Another ground
upon which the law was declared un-
constitutional was that it was class
Legislation inaSmuch as it applied only
to those women who worked in fac
tories. 1t was commended on the part
regulation for the reason that the pre-
venting of women working at such
hours would improve the health of flu
ture generations. The answer to that
argument was that the law applied tc
single women as well as married. This
law is Il fair example of the hundreds
of statutes that are being passed by
the legislatures of different states IN
the name of and at the behest Of labor
organizations. Labor in ;ts attempt
to protect itself has gone to the ex-
IRENE of trying to govern almost ev-
cry action of the individual by some
rule of law. In doing so they have
infringed upon the rights of the in
dividual. Instead of securing liberty
they have attempted to destroy it. To

said. are inherent and inalienable rights

dicted upon Legislative dictum. 1t is
urged that the general welfare of
the state demands that the progeny nf
women of the factories shall have
mothers with healthy bodies to the
end that the state may have sturdy
citizens. Does the state look merely
to the children of the factory women
for it's future citizens? Why should
the housewives. the women who toll at
home. in mercantile houses. in offices
or she who tolls not at all, the society

interference: Some of them may be
mothers of future citizens and it should
be of as great interest to the state
that their progeny should have proper
birth and breeding to conserve it's wei

zenship is the only excuse for the as
sumption of police power what be-
comes of the rights of the nom child

Every state has similar statutes to the
one just passed upon, all enacted In
the belief that they are proper ex-

AS q matter of fact they are rushed
through the legislatures at the request
Of some class and most always for
some selfish purpose. Courts which
protect citizens against such infringe

as unfair to labor and as supporters
of the capital class. AS a matter OF
fact they are the protectors of the
