Forty-eight years ago is long time,
yet there are a great many who distinctly
remember what happened at Bull Run on
the DIST of July, 1861, when our soldiers
went jocundly forth across the old Wash
ington long bridge to put down seces-
sion" How they went out and at what
lively pace they came back, pell-mell, hot
foot, tumbling over each other in frantic
haste to get back to safety. AS Artemus
Ward remarked at the time, we are
routed-horse, foot and balloons" Yet
Bull Run was a good thing. 1t showed
us the gravity of the situation as it had
not been shown before, and convinced us
that the "Rebs" were in deadly earnest,
rather than joking, as many had mag
ined.

If we think we have had an uproar and
"tumult and a shouting" over our
tariff revision, we must content to sing
small beside France, which had another
climax in the Chamber of Deputies last
week, resulting in the resignation of Pre-
mier Clemenceau and the cabinet formed
by him. France is forever having spec
tacular climaxes, but that of last week
Tuesday was particularly violent; the
legislators got "hot under the collar"
twitting each other of all sorts of rank
dealings and once more gave an exhibit
of Gallo hysteria. The cause of it all is
scandal over naval matters. We have
had crises in our country, but never yet
have we had President resign or a
cabinet go out in body. Only once did
we come anywhere near turning Presi-
dent out of office.

Germanizing the Poles the Germans
planted in Poland rather tend to be-
come Polish in sympathy themselves
just as the Saxons earlier transplanted
to Hungary became Magyar in spirit
Still another 100000 Poles live in
Austria. chiefly in .Galicia. where they
are, for political reasons natural to a
much-mixed nation, treated rather
better than THAR blood brothers. Still
they are keen nationalists and they
help make up d gifted, passionate and
patriotic race of some 100000 COM
pactly remaining in their old home to
prove the futility of the attempt to
suppress Il race amt the consequences
which such an attempt lays upon the
conquerors.
The Irish race, which this paper
represents to the lest of it's ability, has
always been in sympathy with the
aspirations of the Poles for the free
dom they once enjoyed under native
rule. The Irish know what loss of
freedom means and what it is to be
governed by foreign despotism. The
Poles and the Irish expected great
deal from Napoleon, who led them to
believe that he would aid them both
in the achievement of independence
when at the acrle of his power. But
that great soldier was never actuated
by motives of patriotism and left the
Irish and Poles to fight their battles
alone, after he lad accepted the mill
tary servbifTest of the Poles in his Rus
sian campaign and kept England
menaced BY an uprising in Ireland.
If the Irish and Poles are true to
themselves, they will ultimately re-
cover their lost nationality. They are
a prolific people who increase and
multiply, and lead wholesome Christ
ian lives. They are talented people,
patriotic to- the core; and If they watch
the opportunities that may arise in the
conflict of natious, which is inevitable,
and keep the spirit Of liberty glowing
in their breasts, they may feel conf

CARVING OF POLAND.

Though no longer on the map of

still exists after it's absorption by
mighty tyrants. 1t lives in the hearts
OF it's own children at home and in
foreign lands; AMI it will live forever
in the history OF civilized nations. Be-
fore it's dismembcrment it contained
an area Of 2S2,G00 square miles and a
ckivalrous people. 1t maintained its
independence for hundreds OF years,
and under Sooiaski saved Europe from
the incursion of the Turks. 1t fur

$50 publications IN all languages relat-
ing to him, and he is still adding to
the library. Why most people admire
and love the memory of this wonderful
man is because Of his noble life and
sad death. He had risen from poverty
by his own personal exertion. He had
educated himself without the aid of
schoolmaster or professors; he had
worked his own WY without aid from
the powerful AMI the wealthy, and
reached the highest position in the
land on his merits. When he reached
the presidency at a critical period he
displayed such n high order of intel
lect and good common sense in guild
ing the ship OF state through troub-
led waters, and was so fair and just
and kind to everyone with whom he
came in contact that he was looked
upon as the saviour of the country, as
Washington was the father thereof.
He was plain. simple and good, and he
captivated frieals and foes alike. No
wonder that Harry Watterson pays a
grand tribute to the memory of Lin
coin in one of the magazines. If Lin
coin had lived the South would have
been justly treated after the war, and
the lleartburnings and bitterness gen.
Grated during the reconstruction
period would have been avoided.
Lincoln liberated from servitude
four millions of black men by stroke
OF his pen. He wrote on sheet of
paper on his way to the battlefield of
Gettysburg Il speech which is a
'multum in paTvo" and considered
worthy of preservation in a tablet of
bronze within .he walls of Oxford uni
versity. AS a tribute to the memory of
this unique character we reproduce
that gem Of The English language in
another place.
Lincoln's name is imperishable. "The
man dies. but his memory lives" ex-
claimed Robert Emmett in his dying
speech for posterity, delivered six years
tefore Abraham Lincoln was born in
Il poor Kentucky cabin. The friend Of
freedom and humanity fell at the age
OF 56 from an assassin's bullet before
lis work was finished, but he had ac-
complished enough to entitle MIN to
the gratitude Of all mankind. The
influence he had exerted during Efc
is felt after his death. But is he dead?
In the words of Maurice Thompson:
He is not dead. France knows he is
not dead;
He stirs strong hearts in Spain ard
Germany:
In far Siberian mines his words arc
said;
He tells the English Ireland shall
be free:
He calls poor serfs about him in the
night:
And whispers Of a power that laughs
at kings
And Of force that breaks the
strongest chain.
Old tyranny feels his might
Tearing away it's deepest fastenings,
And ieweled scepters threaten him

Because it would he in violation Of the

Every Fourth Of July we are told

afraid of Irritating the Japs since they

has, Try his utterances, shown the Japs
that this country is afraid of them

1t certainly is not right for Roosevelt
on the eve Of his departure from Office
to interfere in any state legislation
that is not in conflict with the consti-
tuition Of the United States, or in vio-
lation of rights conferred by the con-

not for the president to pass on the

equity to provide schooling at public
