Seven times since 1885 she had sent
four-fifths of her representatives to de-
mand self government She had raised
considerable funds for twenty-five
years in support of home rule and
united all her forces.
Under the lind act which enables
the tenant. upon declaration Of desire
to purchase. to obtain d reduction OF
25 per cent in rent and ultimately be-
come the owner he thought that in
many instances the tenant might have
made a better bargain. 1t freed the
tenant from every symbol of landlord
ism. One-third OF all the land and
practically all Wexford were now In
the hands of the tenants. A tenant
owner" became a better Nationalist,
approaching more keenly the inefti-
cheney and stupidity OF the present
government.
"Of course" said Mr.. O'Connor, Ire
land viii never be country properly
worth living in until she is governed
by her own people. Everything in Ire
land is done wrong. Certainly four
ffths Of the population would vote for
home rule. 1 think the government Is
disposed to grant US a generous meas
ure Of It. The lords always oppose it,
but the lords. as shown in history, are
sometimes struck with terror and wish
to preserve their own liberties.
cIadstone's Error In 1886.
Gladstone sprung home rule prema-
turely IN 1885. If 1t had not been for
our Parnell split in 1890 Gladstone
might have carried home rule in 1892
The Irish cause lost twelve years and
gained twenty years of education. We
had the period OF division and disaster.
Gladstone did a great work in destroy
ing prejudice
"The first effect Of home rule would
be increased education and the next
effect increased efficiency in every
thing, for the government over Ireland
is one of the most inefficient ever ex-
ercised."
Thomas Power O'Connor, the Irish
author, journalist and statesman, be-
gan his career as a writer for the Dub
lin press in 1867. when he was eighteen
years old. In 1870 he went to London
and secured q position on the staff II
the Daily Telegraph. Four years later
he made his bow as an author with
biography of the late Lord Beacons-
field, which was followed by a revised
edition of the work under a new title.
Mr.. O'Connor has since then published
numerous books and has even tried his
hand at fiction with some success.
ParneIPs Advice.
"My becoming a member or parlla-
ment was practically a matter of
chance" Mr. O'Connor said recently.
Zone of my best friends had resigned
the seat from Galway. and many Of
my friends asked me TO take his place.
l was known In Galway. having spent
my boyhood there, and had made sew
eral speeches there IN debates and
things of that sort. My Life OF Lord
Beaconsfield had also contributed to a
better knowledge of me in my native
land. At the same time l encountered
a tremendous amount of opposition
from the wealthy class, and my seat
was not easily won" The great Par
nell. in giving the then new member
friendly advice, told him to "speak
as early as possible, as often as posi-
BILE and as long as possible" and these
instructions ''T. P" has carried out

BEST LAND BARGAINS
IN MONTANA TODAY
Is the Cottonwood Coal Company's
Agricultural Lands in the Heart Of
the Judith Basin.


The Cottonwood Coal company of
st. Paul this week places upon the
market 5000 acres of the richest ag-
ricultural lands to be found in the
famous Judith Basin. The company
acquired this large tract exclusively
for the coal underlying the same.
There was such demand for the
lands for agricultural purposes that
the company decided to place the
surface rights on the market, and the
way the tracts are being purchased
by residents in that vicinity demon
strate their worth for farming pur-
poses. The country has been tried
and the results are known.
Most Of these lands are being sold
for SIS an acre OF seven years time
ut per cent; ten per cent of the pur-
chase price for the first four annual
payments, and twenty per cent for
the three succeeding annual payments,
with interest at & per cent payable
annually in advance, places the lands
within the reach Of all. Farm lands
in that locality are held at S25 to $40
an acre. Parties looking for an in
vestment or for land for actual de-
velopment connot find better bargains
than these lands at SIS al acre. Long
before the last payment for the con-
tract for deed becomes due, the pur-
chaser at these prices can more than
double his money. In fact well posted
people declare that all this SIS land
will sell before the expiration Of a
year for S25 to $40 an acre.
5, J. Small of Judith Gap is the
only agent in Montana authorized to
sell these lands, and he will take
pleasure in showing intending pur-
! chasers over the tract free OF cost.
He will take party from Judith Gap
and surrounding country Tuesday to
Stamford and drive over the land.
Everybody is welcome to join the
crowd. You will see a beautiful
country and if you make an invest
ment you will discover before long
that it is the best one you ever made.
The first yearly cash payment on 40
acre tract at SIS is 500. 40. Each sub
sequent yearly payment will be less
than that amount. You can buy from
40 acres mp to any number you desire
ut the prices quoted III the big ad In
this issue Of the Journal.
