No subject outside OF the growing
OF crops and live stock, by which
we make our daily bread, can be Of
greater interest to US asiarmers than
the condition OF our roads.
1t Is unnecessary to discuss the dis.
advantage OF bad ones, for we all
know about that. 1t is also unneces-
sary to say that our bad roads may
be made good by sufficient amount
OF work on them at the right time
and In the right manner. Very few
are willing to put In any considerable
amount OF work without pay, and
the money always gives out too
soon.
We all agree that we need more
money for road purposes, and our
legislature agrees with Us, but as they
fall to agree on q plan to get II, We
are not benefited. l predict that
when We get more money, We will
pay the greater part Of II ourselves
in increased taxes.
May 1t not be true that q grea
part Of our trouble comes from net
making better use Of what we have2

township organization, and l sup

Yesterday afternoon about eighty i've members of the senior class of the Crosby High school were assem-
 bled at Hamilton park to celebrate Ar Dor day by planting an Elm tree, there were also present some of the city officials and the board of public works as well as d large crowd of spectators who came out to see the exercises.

JOHN KILLS INGRAM DEAD.
Author of ''Who Fears to Speak of '98 ?"-Works of Political Economy.

Dublin, May 4.-John Kells h.
 gram, the political economist and fol-
 lower of August Comte, and author | of the ballad Who Fears to Speak of '98?" or The Memory of the Dead" died here Wednesday, He was one lof the dons of Trinity college.
 The work by which John Kells In- gram is best known and most likely to be remembered is the famous bal lad, The Memory of the Dead"
 which is fervidly written in the Irish
 revolutionary spirit Until T. D. Sullivan wrote God Save Ireland"
 in 1867, it was the "Marseillaise" of
 Ireland. Professor Ingram himself
 is said to have bitterly regretted
 writing the poem. All his views
 and associations in his later life were
 the very antipodes of revolutionary.
 No mention of the poem is made in
 the authorized sketches of it's author,
 but the work itself could not be sup pressed and 1t is to be found in most collections of English and all of Irish verse.
 Professor Ingram, who some years ago held the offices of senior fellow and vice provost of Trinity College, Dublin. was born in County Donegal, Ireland, on July 2, 1923. He was the son of clergymen and was educated at Newry School and Trinity College. He was appointed a junior fellow of Trinity in 1S46 professor of oratory and English literature in 1852, regius professor of Greek in 1866, and librarian in 1879. He was member of the con- mittee for publication of ancient laws and statutes of Ireland, trus- tee of the National library in Ire land and visitor of the Science and Art Museum, Dublin. He was president of the Royal Irish Aca- demy and of the Statistical Society of Ireland. He was also an honorary member of the American Economic Association.
 Mir Ingram wrote many books among them "A History of Political Economy" which was translated Into nine European languages and Japanese; outlines of the history of religion, in which he declared him. self positivist, and sonnets and other poems.
 When Ingram's famous song first I appeared 1t took the civilized world | )y storm. The patriot party in Ire | and felt very much elated over the | presence of such a gifted exponent of | he wrongs of their country in Trim ty college, while others couldn't tell what to make of the situation. The | college from which Emmet had been for remarks less seditious | han the sentiments contained in | Professor Ingram's poem came to heir minds and steps were forthwith | aken to guard against a repetition if the offense. Ingram was not | made of the kind of stuff that prompts man to make sacrifices for others. Ie was far from being an Emmet md the general opinion at the time, nd 1t hasn't changed since. was hat he was given the alternative of vriting no more patriotic effusions r find another job. In those days 1t idn't pay to take the Irish nationalist jew of the question and knowing his. Ingram never was heard from gain as a singer on the Irish side f the house. He never denied being he author of the song, but just the ame he preferred not to be taunted bout it.
