nITCnING POSTS
Policemen Want One Removed
 From North Main Street.

The innocent looking hitching post on North Main street opposite Dex- ter's pharmacy has aroused the ire of the police and they have asked the board of public works to have 1t banished to some region where 1t will bother them no more. The mat ter was referred to the street com mittee for investigation and report and upon inquiry they find that tho post has lot of friends and any attempt to interfere with it will be met with sharp opposition. MT Camp is the owner of the property, and al though he is man of peace, if need be he can buckle on his armor and make things decidedly interesting for anybody that might trifie with him. He does not want the post re- moved, neither does MT Dexter, nor half dozen or more others. The committee has not yet decided what to do, but the policemen look for an order that the pesky thing be taken out of there: but there is nothing cer tain about that.
 With the trolley tracks in the cen ter of the street, the hackmen's stand and the Welton fountain on one side and horse tied to this lit- tie post on the other, the place is crowded nearly all the time and nat urally the officers would like a little more elbow room. ''l suppose" re- marked an interested person, you people wouldn't mind that if 1t hap pened to be big telephone pole. If this means that all posts are to go why take that with the rest, but if not, I don't see why this one should he singled out. The situation is no worse here than in front of other blocks, but I'm not aware that any step has been taken looking towards the elimination of the hitching posts. Why not remove the hackmen and the fountain and then you will have accomplished something worth while l don't want to find fault with men in public places for doing their duty, but I'm afraid this is an instance where the officials are straining at gnat and swallowing camel"
 That's the way the thing stands just now, so that no matter how much some might like to step on the neck of that modest appearing post, it has host of warm supporters and if they go down they will disappear with colors flying.

THE GAELIC LEAGUE.
What It's Doing for the UpIift Of Ire
 lanu

An organization that after fifteen years trial has proved itself d rrep 1 factor in national unity is the Gaelic
 league, which it's founder, Douglas 1 Hyde, has described as an educa-
 tional body tinged with industrial
 ism It arose when not 30,0 ,000 peo- 1 pie spoke Irish, a nOn-political. no-- sectarian body. bidding Ireland not to be Catholic, Protestant, unionist or nationalist, but just Irish. The ob- vious objection to it was that it was sentimental and impractical in ask ing the Irish boy to learn the difficult Gaelic when he could learn French
 or German, which he might use iu business. Such an argument left out of account the character of temDera-
 ment of the Celt Nine times out of
 ten 1t is through sentiment that he
 can be put off or on the road of the
 practical. To-day there are a quar-
 ter of million students of Irish: it
 is even being put in the schools.
 There are almost thousand branch
 es of the Gaelic league throughout
 the country supported chiefly by the
 farthings of the poor
 To keep the Irish from excitement and from hectic politics, to work for
 temperance and anti-emigration; to puncture the shamS and lies that are part of the many banes of Irish life:
 to foster honesty and direct think ing surely that is a mission that is practical and not sentimental This the Gaelic language has for it's pur- pose. By means of festivals. of ex- hibitions in literature, music. ora tory. singing, dancing and games: by lectures and classes, summer schools, prizes and newspapers. thou sands of Irish people are gaining degree of real native culture The material educated is far more i'm portant than the education given" the Gaelic leaguers say: education. too, should be directed for those wto stay at home; Ireland should not educate men for export: when educa- tion is intellectually nationalized it will react on economics. With the Sim Feiners they cry: Development from within: self-rPliance and sell knowledge. While the Gaelic league does moi present the many iq- dustrial schemes that are teeming in the brain of the Sim Fein, it does help support Irish industries by ai- vocating the consumption of hone goods and by encouraging technical education.-Collier's

BRYAN THE GUEST

Chicago, Sept. 8.-William J. Bryan

ton that outranked similar celebra-
lions in Chicago for years past.
From the moment of his arrival, ex-
cept for an hour that he spent as
guest of the IroQuois club at luncheon,
he was in the hands of the labor men
practically all day. The first public
appearance of the Democratic presi-
Dental candidate was on a reviewing
stand on balcony before the ma
tional Democratic headquarters at the
Auditorium Annex, where the Labor
day parade, with approximately TO-
600 union men and women in line,
passed in review before him.
Mr.. Bryan was met at the railway
station by q committee representing
the Injunction Reform league, which
organization was his host for the day,
and escorted to the Auditorium.
After the parade he was whisked
away to the Great Northern hotel to
the Iroquois club luncheon, where he
made a brief talk to the club mem.
bers. He then entered an automobile
and was conveyed to Forest park
where he addressed, the union men
on the subject Of the abuse of the In.
junction in labor disputes. At Z O'Clock
in the evening he spoke to the cleo
trical workers at Brands park, on the
northwest side Of the city.

northern part of Minnesota for

familiar with the needs of the

part of Minnesota is shame on
the part of our legislature, mas
much, as, it is the cause of Ameri-

of our own country, which is
more than equally as good in soil,

there are sections where it is

grafton.
Uppermost and above all, if !
am elected, I will in season and

out Of season, vote and strive for
substantial state aid for roads.
And I believed fully realize the
fight am up against IN that the
representation from the northern
part is meager compared with
the representation from the other
parts of the state. But the whole
legislature must be made to see
that the state roads are a substan-
tial benefit to the whole state.
