Hospital Ships.

New York Evening POST The controversy as

surgeons line officers is nearly old as the hills;
and as Surgeon General Rixey points out, the army
has long since decided it in favor of the medical
department. To surgeons the putting of line Off
Ger over floating hospital is analogous to putting
1ayman in charge of one on land. Moreover, the
pacific character of hospital ship requires that the
commander shall be noncombatant This the
Japanese policy in the with Russia, and, if we
are correctly informed is necessitated by recent

man of sense the matter is perfectly clear.
1t is not that Joseph and Hyrum Smith obeyed the
command of the Lord but that the Almighty spoke
merely to accommodate their lustfu feelings,
and to justify their damnable and repeated bigames.
Now the evidence-even the church itself pre-
sents it's in complete demonstration of the unde-
nable fact that in this matter of poylgamy Joseph
and Hyrum Smith plainly and viciously lied. What
is to prevent the thinking Mormon from coming to
the conclusion that he cannot be that they did
not also lie concerning the supposed angel Moroni,
the heavenly vsitatons, the golden plates of the
Book of Mormon the alleged revelations of the Doc
trine and Covenants and delivery of prophetic
thority?
Having come to that point is there not liability
that the sensible Mormon may persuade himself that
in all these years he has been following a lot of
hypocrites who exact from him tribute in support
of their personal lawlessness, and that these
represent the most mendacous fraud that has
blackened the pages of human history?
The Tribune will here say that not nine hundred
in every thousand Mormons know the recorded facts
which serve to expose the dishonest and unscrupu-
lousy immoral antics of the founders of their
ganization In order that deception should be
practiced in this day, whatever may have been the
herarchal practice of yore the saints ought to be
made acquainted with the details of their church
history Then, if they still feel disposed to adhere
the church, they will have but themselves to hold
in responsibility
AS it is over ninety per cent of the Mormon peo-
pie grossly deceived.

The Country Weekly.

The Commoner: There ought to be Democratic
weekly newspaper in every county; where there is
no such weekly one ought to be established 1t does
not cost much to start or to conduct weekly news
paper. 1t can be owned and edited by the
The country weekly has far more influence in pro-
portion to its circulation than the city daily, first
because it has behind it person who is known to
the readers and whose character adds force to his
words; second, because the weekly is read with
care The country weekly comes much nearer re-
hecting the sentiment of the community than the
large daily. In fact, in every contest between the
unorganized masses on the one side and organized
wealth on the other, the big newspapers are gener-
ally on the side of organized wealth, and this fact
has become so notorious that candidates are often
elected with practically all of the daily papers against
them
In 1896 when nearly all of the great dai1ies de-
serted u.s. the weeklies were faithful because they
were near to the people and shared the opinions and
aspirations of the multitude.

"Presidents Of said church

presidents OF SAID CHURCH.
The Smiths were secretly practicing polygamy, de-
claring it to be the most exalted principle that the
Lord had yet revealed to His people; yet they were
so ashamed of it that they denied it. Although they
said that the Lord had given the revelation in JULY
1843 they repudated the Almighty and His com
mandment in this official document of 1914. They
privately preached that poygamy was an institution
of the very heavens; and yet they publicly declared
# to be false and corrupt doctrine, and branded
inouitous the man who preached it. The truth is,
that they knew full we'll that they were personally
1aw-breakers; and they were no drawer than other
criminals when it came to meeting the consequences
Of their immoral depredations against the peace and
good order of the State Let the present hierarchs
take either horn of the dilemma which they may
choose as most agreeable to them, and they will be
forced to admit that the founder of their church
inconsistently lied-no more and no less. To the

The Oireachtas, or great festival, held
annually In Dublin, is the outcome or climax
of a system of minor local festivals held
throughout the year all over the country.
Partly social and partly educational, they
serve the double purpose of keeping alive
the spirit of the league and of resurrecting
the gay and festive social life once SO char
acteristic of the Irish people, but which had
begun to languish for lack of stimulus.
These local festivals consist of three
parts, the Feis or literary festival, the Cuirm
Cecil or concert and the Aeridheacht, which,
as a Lacquer has put it, lis neither SO solemn
as the Olympian games nor so trivial as an
Anglo-Saxon picinc." There are contests
in singing the Gaelic or traditional singing
OF course, in dancing the national folk dances
or "%rinces," in oratory and storytelling and
in playing Irish airs, ancient and modern,
upon the pipes and fiddle. The prize win
ners in each group are delegated to attend
the Oireachtas and carry off, il possible. the
honors from the assembled heroes OF Feises
in other districts.
The Oireachtas, like the ,Feis, also con-
sists of three parts. There are competitions
in the different branche of Gaelic study. in
singing, dancing and playing. meetings of
various kinds and an Industrial exhibition.
There is also the Ard Fheis, or parliament
Of the league.
The opening event this year was the re-
ception to the delegates to the Ard Fheis
given by the lord mayor or Dublin, Hon. MIR.
O'Reilly, at the Mansion house, his official
residence. The evening was opened by a
traditional Gaelic custom, relic of the days
when Irish kings, with their chiefs and war
riors, assembled with brilliant pageantry at
Tara.
A band of pipers in the green kits and
'brata" paraded around the hall playing an
Client martial music on the huge war pipes,
They were headed by Ireland's champion
piper, Francis Power-"An Paorach" (the
power), as he fondly was known to all Gaelic
leaguers.
This young man, who has dedicated his
life to the cause, is a fair example of the
spirit Of devotion. and self-sacrihce which is
animating the league workers. Born in

people of America whether the Donegal
farmers aud the Dublin shopkeeper salute
each other in Gaelic or in English; it matters
much that in the family of nations one more
land is awakening to a sense of national self
consciousness and is reaching out toward the
things which make for national, and as a d.
rect outcome, international prosperity.
Remote as may appear to be the connec-
ton between language and industries in Ire
land, 1t has been demonstrated to be direct
and vital. The spirit of a nation lies i'm
bedded in its tongue and it's traditions. Re-
vive that tongue, that spirit, call out the ma
tional pride which hangs upon national ira
ditions, and a new racial vitality ensues.
A true Gaelic Lacquer not only speaks
Irish, but thinks Irish, feels Irish, exploits
all that is Irish. Every member of the
Gaelic league is pledged to give preference to
Irish manufacturers so far as is reasonably
possible, and this action has materially as
sisted, and may even be said to have largely
contributed to, the great Industrial revival
that is at present going on in Ireland.
The cry everywhere is Irish manufac-
lures for the Irish consumer" and it is due
to the efforts of the league that there has re-
Gently come into being an Irish trademark
which bears the Gaelic legend, 'Deanta in
Eirinn" (made In Ireland). This increased
demand for Irish products bids fair to re-
alize the dream of the instigators that a
hourishing may soon be reared in
Ireland; while already existing plants are
finding themselves taxed to their utmost to
fill the orders which come pouring in and
new industries are springing up everywhere.
In America the results are likewise APP
parent, for the tide of emigration, which has
been annually sending 0 1000 exiles from
Erin to this country, is being stayed. No
longer do the tenants of small farms, too
small to support an extensive family, and the
undeEfed population of Dublin or Belfast
look TO America as their only hope, Work
is everywhere about them, whether at tweed,
linen or carpet loom, at press, desk or coun-
ter, or in fields rendered doubly arabic by a
newly awakened intelligence.
1t is a healthy, normal employment,
growing out of the normal needs of the coun-
try, and not. like lace-making and embroid-
cry, dependent upon the prosperity or the
whim OF q foreign purchaser.

Rescue at Pine Bluffs

THE operator at Pine Bluffs began another frantic appeal TOR
assistance, his sending was erratic and disconneoted; for short in
tervals the key would be left open-an indicating either great fear
or intense excitement At last his sending became somewhat more
Ineligible and Painter drew out of him that the Indians were
within a short distance of the building, were becoming more bold,
having probably satisfied themselves that they would meet with
little or no resistance. The operator was quiet for a few minutes;
then commenced sending rapidly: They are on the depot pIatforml
Some are looking in at doorl They are coming in! My Godll"-
then all was silent; the wire was dead, and despite the efforts of
the excited office force. nothing could be done or suggested other
than to await developments upon the arrival of the United States
troops. In the meantime the operators along the line had given
the 20. s." for the special at Hllsdale and Egbert, and they would
soon reach the scene.
stopping a respectable distance from the depot, which, much TO
the surprise of the captain in command and the superintendent, had
not been burned, the troops we're dsembarked and marched eau
tioualy in its direction, prepared for an ambuscade, not understand
ing the unearthly quietness and absence of the usual scene attend
ing such deDredatons. Reaching the platform, the superintendent
and commanding officer walked along to the open door. Upon the
floor, with his face upturned to the sunlight, which was streaming
through a broken window pane, lay the poor operator dead-drunk."
Times have changed and it is now understood that drinking il

panions, is a great lover of the outdoor life and each year he takes

recently is the chief annual event
- of the Gaelic movement which at
present is stimulating all Ireland,
and reaching out its influence to every land
wherein the exiled Gael has made his home
or abiding place.
Founded by seven men in 1892, the Gaze
lie league set itself to carry out a task which
to many seemed hopeless, "the preservation
of Irish as the national language of Ireland
and the extension of its use as a spoken
tongue; also the preservation of existing
Irish literature and the production of a mod
ern literature. in Irish" A second clause
declares it to be nonpolitical and nonsec-
tartan.
This latter fact is of extreme significance
in a country where for generations the peo-
pie have been divided into distinct groups
of politics or creed without common ground
for meeting or communion. In the Gaelic
league all party has been swept aside and
for the first time in many centuries the sons
and daughters of Erin have found themselves
united by a common thought, a common
ideal, a common bond of brotherhood.
In the Gaelic league all Ireland is ap-
lied to the support of the national language,
pealed to, and every type of citizen has raj
the restitution of native culture. Here are
banded together rich and poor, high and low,
merchant and mechanic. law-giver and coun-
try gentleman. 1t includes Catholic, Protes-
tant and dissenter; u~nionist, nationalist and
parliamentarian; Milesian, Gael and Crom-
wellian planter.
And even the barriers of sex have been
demolished, for men and women alike vote
at its councils, debate in its parliament and
hold office under its constitution, while in
the work Of propaganda the league points
with pride to the achievements of such
women as Miss Agnes o'Farrelly, NJ. A. head
OF the Gaelic Industrial school at Cloch-
aneely, and of the Misses Gleeson and Yeats,
whose Industrial guilds at Dundrum have
given a new impetus to the higher forms of
craftsmanship and who are employing dozens
OF girls to whom they have taught rug and
tapestry weaving. printing. embroidery, etc.
1t is this industrial phase of the leagues
work that is of especial interest and import
to the outside world. It matters little to

Squaw Men and Operators

"The squaw men among the Indians were the remnant of the
tribes when their fellows had drifted to the north in search of more
lucrative fur fields. These squaw men were the insugators Of most
of the serious depredations, the natives not having the ingenuity
necessary to accomplish anything more conspicuous than murders
or horse stealing. When the telegraph wire was discovered cut and
fastened together with a buokskin string to stop the flow Of cleo
tricty and at the same time puzzle the linemen, it was known that
the 'squaw man. or his progeny, the half-breed, was about.
"n the summer of 1868 the spikes were pulled from the rails
several miles west of Plum Greek (now known as Lexington), the
rails lifted on ties high enough to permit their ends to enter the
cylinders Of the engine and a most complete wrecking of a freight
train was accomplished, the engineer and fireman were killed and the
conductor scalped by the Indians. The train was plundered and then
set on fire, the Indians riding around the conflagration with long
strings of silk and other costly cloth streaming from their horses
tails. Shortly thereafter another train was wrecked near Old Alkali,
thirty-five miles west of North Platte, but they we're driven off be-
fore they had secured the coveted booty. BY reason of these &C.
currences the dispatchers, agents, train and enginemen were very
much On the alert and extra precautions were taken to safeguard
themselves and others.
81. K. Painter, then chief dispatcher of the Lodge Pole division.
was sitting at his desk in Cheyenne one morning when he heard
the operator at Pine Bluffs franucaHy calling M office. Painter
went to the key and answered the operator, who informed him that
a large band of Indians could be seen on the hills south of town
and asked that help be sent Immediately.
"A messenger was quickly dispatched to Fort D. A. Russell, an
engine ordered and a special train gotten ready to transport the
troops as soon as they reached the depot, After arranging these
preliminaries, the chief dispatcher again called up Pine Bluffs. The
operator informed him that the Indians were moving in the direction
of the station, and a little later that they were riding in a detouY
around 1t, probably accommodating. The troops having arrived at
Cheyenne, they were hurried aboard, and, the superintendent a-
companying the train, 1t pulled out to the scene of the trouble, forty
miles distant,
