Irishmeu and Sons of lrishmen in the
 American Revolution.
rAHT.I III.

General Daniel Morgan, the hero 0! the Cowpens, WAS native of Bailina- screen, county Derry. His victory over Tarleton was one Of the most striking incidents Of the war. With 5OO troops, largely recruited of Irish Americans, he defeated i 900 English soldiers, and each Of his men brought home pris- oner.
 Other officers were Major stephen Moylan, a native of Cork, commander of Moylan's dragons General Ed ward Hand a native of Kerry, one of Washington most trusted officers; Gen. William Irwin, of county Glare; General Andrew Lewis of Donegal, an able and conspicuous soldier; General William Maxwell, of county Long, ford; General Richard Butler, of Xiii kenny, General John Rutiedge, bro ther of the signcr of the Declaration of Independence; General Walter Stew art, and General Pickens.
 And this by no means exhausts the list. Turning from the land to the sea, we find ifishmen at the front.
 The first naval engagement of the
 Revolutionary War was fought ofi the coast of Maine, in ITO, between the
 English ship Margaretta and a lumber sloop In command ot Jeremiah 'Brien of Machias, Me, who was accompa- k.s. n h.r all ( fnr m and sixty others. The O'Briens and their companions In the old lumber boat defeated their adversary and cap tured her.
 One of the greatest naval heroes Of the Revolution was Commodore John Barry, a native of Wexford. Thefane of his victories k known toevery school boy. II WAS he, who, when hailed by an English frieate in the West Indies,
 and was asked the usual questions AS
 to his ship and captain, answered;

 was captured by an Irishmsn,'the first nav al engagement fought was won for I the colonies by an lrishman, and the first artillery organization in the colo niai army WAS created by an lrishman, l and the frsi General to fall was an | lrishman.

black is to be black, or black white.
Murdoch is insurging around against
the precedents even more strenuously

not count. He wants a new set of
rules formulated. Then he would cart

to the federal government at Washing
ton on Communication of sentence for
that purpose With the consent of the
governor, and the proper orders from
the department of commerce and labor
for their deportation, the superintend-
ent proposes to take this course.
Perhaps his object is to relieve the
prisons of congestion and save the
state trouble and money. But the
country would also be relieved of I'M
desirables, most of whom will some
time gain liberty to prey upon it. An
example would be given to foreign
countries that deliberately send con-
genital and habitual criminals here
and to steamship companies that care
lessly bring them
1t is not probable that the steam
ship companies can be made to return
them after such an interval, but their
passage in the Storage would be money
we'll spent by either the state or the
nation. The prisoners themselves would
probably be glad to go. They would
gain their liberty, some of them be-
ing condemned for life Their disposal
in Europe would be in the hands of
the authorities there. Probably the
worst that could happen to them
would be to be kept under police sur
veillance

BOY BROWNS m
:: Y. M. c. A. PLUNGE.
Body Is Recovered Quickly, but Heart
Action Cannot be Revived.

NORTH YAKIMA, July John
Brent, 20 years of age, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Brent, of the Selah val
ley, was drowned in the swimming
pool in the Y. NJ c. A building here
this forenoon while taking a plunge.
The body was recovered within ten
minutes and doctors worked over him
for two hours, but resuscitation was
impossible. The fact that he could not
be revived and that only little water
came from his lungs led the doctors to
agree that death was due to heart dis
ease.
George Lancaster ~ years of age,
stood on the edge of the pool and
saw him go under When Brent did not
come to the surface Lancaster notified
the secretary and the body was re-
covered at once. Brent escorted two
young ladies home last night and then
came into North Yakima, telephon-
ing to his mother where he had gone
and telling her not to worry because
he would be home today. The mother
says that when he was boy he had
several light attacks of heart disease.

WHY so MUCH DELAY?

On July 6, after being granted the
speedy trial required to be given by
the law, Bud Barnes was sentenced 10
hang for the murder of Mrs. Anna
AIdrich His case, one of the most re-
voting in the history of the county,
was appealed and it was not until the
following January that it was argued
before the supreme court. On January
II however. it came before that tri-
bunal the law still requiring speedy
trial.
Since that time some 20 cases have
been argued and decided But the
Barnes case is still an impenetrable
mystery, so far as the supreme court is
concerned. as it ever was. Twelve
months have passed since sentence
was imposed and the case still, to all
intents as far from being settled as
ever Other cases have been decided
and those argued at the same time have
long since been handed down. Evan
those argued since have been decided,
but not a word from the Bud Barnes
case.
1t is not that on this case hangs the
future of the country Whether or not
Bud Barnes hangs will have little Eff
feet on the development of the Walla
WaHa valley But it is unfair, both to
the man whose fate rests in the bal
ance, land to the public, whose laws he
has been convicted of breaking.
A speedy trial evidently means little
when the supreme court is concerned
But once that trial is given, the evil
dence reviewed, it seems an injustice
to delay the decision beyond a reason
abe length of time.

GOD OF THINGS AS
THEY OUGHT TO BE

to be"-that is, as they ought to be,
according to Speaker Cannon-has it's
habitat in the eight ponderous tones
which constitute the 'Precedents of
the House Of Representatives" There
isn't any power above that contained
in these eight volumes.
When the speaker gets into a par
liamentary tangle, wherein he knows
the rules of the house won't entirety
support his way of thinking, he re-
fers to the observation-disclosures with
she God of Things as They Ought to
Be" and gets satisfaction. BY the aid
of the eight volumes, he can prove
that black is white-notwithsta
that the famed rules of the house go
to show that black is black.
There may be places in the prece-
dents where one could find proof to
substantiate the statement that black
is black-but then, there's still another
precedent that shows that white is
black. It's all according to how the
speaker wants things done.
The precedents of the house include
every parliamentary ruling and a brief
