 DoNNYBRooK FAIR

 INDULGE IN FRAY

DUBLIN, February l0.-Thc national convention of the United Irish league which was opened today under the pres idency of John Redmond, was the scene of an outbreak that rcsembled pro- verbal Donnybrook fair. |. William O'Brien spoke in opposition to the land bill of the chief secretary for Ireland, and Redmond favored the measure. During the controversy Flu gene Crean, member of parliament from Cork, rushed to the platform, apparently with the intention of attacking Red mond. He was suppressed and hustled away, however.
 Then for few moments the platform became seething mass of angry dispu- tants.
 Priests and legislators rushed into the fray and tugged at one another's collars while the rest of the audience yelled, eheered and shouted encouragement to the dispntants.
 Ten minutes or more elapsed before MT. Redmond was able to quell the dis turbance.
 Resolutions offered by followers of Redmond in favor of home rule and See retary Birrell $ land bill and expressing confidence in Redmond E leadership were carried by overwhelming majori- ties.

 INDEPENDENTLY

 Union Pacific railways. From R. B. Bu. chanan, manager of the freight depart ment of the Proctor & Gamble company, Judge Lovett, for the Hartman inter. ests, tried to secure the statement that he believed there would be benefit from consolidation where there was no di- rect competitor, but MT. Buchanan was emphatic in the belief that a shipper could and would continue to receive best service from railroad organizations that were completely and absolutely in. dependent of each other. Freedom from danger of unreasonable rates and great CT certainty of adjustment of rates were given by him as his reasons for favor. ing independent organizations

For two hours the governor heard

A FEW QUESTIONS

Have you thought over the propo-
sitlon? DO YOU realize what grand
sight 1t would he TO see fifteen hun
dred wording men, all skilled me-
chanics, marching out of new fac
tory when the whistle blows? Have
you figured how mu,h the city
would be benefited by adding fif-
teen thousand dollars to the pay roll
each week? Have you though how
much is asked of you to secure this
great business enterprise for Ma
1ion? Have you considered that the
money asked of you is not equal
to the sum which you spend fool
ishly every year?
After you have answered all OF
these questions, let us PROFOUND an
other. Have you done your duty,
by signing up the amount which IS
asked Of you?
These are questions which should
be propounded to every property
owner of the city Every person in
Marion is, or should be, Interested
in seeing the city grow in popula-
tion and in Importance as manu-
featuring city. The city will grow
in population just in proportion as
it grows as a manufacturing center.
The work will bring the popula-
don. One industry brings another
and in considering the proposition
OF bringing the Overland automobile
works to Marion, il should also be
considered that other factories will
follow them. A striking illustration
OF this fact comes in the declaration
which has been made by tAe man
agement of the susquehanna silk
mills, 1t has been stated that just
as soon as the city is able to furnish
the persons TO do the work, the ca
pacity OF the silk mills will he dou-
Ibled. The bringing of fifteen hun
dred working men TO Marion means
that the silk mills will be furnished
with employees from the families of
those men. This is a thing which
should be taken into consideration
by the people while they are think
ing over the main question.
The time Is drawing near. It will
not be long now until it will be de-
cided whether or not Marion is to
get the factory. If you have not
added your mite, now is the time to
do Il.

Skirts AS A SHIELD

Another woman was electrocuted
There was an effort made to have
her skirts act as shield to save her
from the chair, but it was fruitless
It was conclusively proven that she
had committed the murder and she
was made to pay the penalty just as
though she whs not woman. In
some states In recent years there
has been a deal OF foolish sentiment
against executing woman, even
though it was clearly proven that
she was guilty of murder i'm the
first degree, but this time is pass
ing There is no good reason why
a woman should be exempt from
capital punishment. Just because
she is accredited with finer instincts
is no argument in her behalf. Rath-
er would it argue that she should
be executed. Exempung women
from the death penalty is a danger
Gus thing 1t win lead to women
becoming habitual criminals, who
are hired by men to do the deed,
trusting upon the spirit of chivalry
to save their neclSs il they are APP
pretended.

Afraid of the Truth.

A Republican, paper at Belleion-
taine announced Governor Harmon s
veto Of the so-called state probe
bill in four lines, as follows:
Governor Harmon vetoed the
Woods bill providing for a probe
OF state offices on the ground that
it would mean an unnecessary ex-
pense.
That is as near as one Republican
paper came TO telling the truth.
1t not only carefully avoided telling
its readers the real reason why the
governor vetoed the bill but actually
gave reason the governor didn't
give for his action.
NO wonder the crafty and CON
Republican bosses go
ON foollng some Of the Republicans
all the time. when they have un-
princtpled party organs to assist
them with wilful misrepresenta-
tions like the foregoing.
There must DE some reason why
lidebound Republican editors are
afraid to furnish their readers the
facts about Governor Harmons ad-
III they were to pub
lish the truth they could not keep
up their foolish cry OF rpeanut
politics" with which they are fool
ing themselves instead OF the peo-
pie.

harbors which approach them to adj
NIT of the entry Of the big ships now
making up the lighting strength OF
the navy; and If ships could get
up to The yards the docks they
would find there are too small to
take them
What do these yards do then? Pay
Inspector Mudd found al least part
of the answer. They are all busily
engaged in distributing money TO
the constituents of certain senators
in whose home states they are main-
tanned The chief lbenefciarles of
these yards are not the navy nor the
American public, but the friends OF
Senators Hale. Gallinger, Perkins,
Mi-Enerey and Smith, Of Maryland.
All kinds of ship stores are man
ufactured at the yards. But the
answer to where the money goes
is found In the cost of this manu-
iacture. 1T occurred to Pay In
spector Mudd to make some COM
parisons between the cost of articles
manufactured at the different yards.
The following extracts from the
Mud report tell their own story:
"A 164foot dingey cost $104.17 at
one yard and $196 "a at another
pretty close to twice as much, 1t will
be observed A 20-foot dingey cost
$217 SO at one yard, and 1862 "A at
another. IA 30-foot gig whale boat
cost $500 .3S at one yard, and the
same kind of boat for the same
kind of service was turned out at
another yard for the euphonious
sum of $S6S 80 "A 30-foot whale
beat cost $3.50 10 at one yard and
$40 ait another. A 14-foot punt
cost $63 7S at one yard and S95 IL
at another.
'"Arwning stanchfons were 81. 80
at one yard and 50. so at another.
Rudders were Sc at one yard and
$40 at another. A tiller was 81
at one yard and SO at another. Oh.
ye sailors. think of an ordinary boat
tiller costing SO. why, a Iandltib-
ber could buy lawn mower for
that money; and think of the gears,
knives, rollers and other things in
the mower. Only the other day the
writer bought over the retail count
er for his own use, a pick handle.
Ii is a handsome piece of finished
work of its kind made of hickory:
1t cost 20 cents. Cut it in half,
and with little whiting It would
make two fine tillers.
Turning to furniture: A nlahog-
any desk for cabin cost $136 ,76 at
one yard while at another, one
made for sister ship cost $3.50. An
oak desk cost $112 .07 at one yard
and $163 30 at another. Toilet racks
for Officers rooms, of which there
are more than 400 made for each
battle ship, cost $14 go at one yard,
while at another exactly the same
article was turned out for the neat
round sum of 500.
"A shopping block, simple and
prosaic article of ships equipage

other A meat block cost 81 at
one yard and $40 at another. An
alcohol chest, to hold rs gallons,
cost $71 .25 at one yard and $13l 81
