Senator Clay, seconded by

days. The last seen of Sheriff

IRELAND HAS Only

Ireland boosted a population of
nearly 5000, 900 in 1S47. Today it
is little more than 1880, 900, says
Seumas MacManus in Travel Maya
zine, and nearly 1000 of the finest,
strongest and ablest young people
of the country, the flower of the
land, are annually emigrating,
nearly 95 per cent of them going to
the United States, where went at
least. 80 per cent of the total emf
grafton from Ireland in the last
century, and where today people
with a large percentage of Irish
blood number not less than 10000
600. At the natural rate of in
crease, Ireand should have today,
instead of 1880, 600 inhabitants, at
east three times that number. $500
With $4,000 square miles of land,
the greater portion of it exception
ally favorable for the raising of
grains, roots, fruits and cattle;
with magnificent water power a
water equaled by few countries
and with its we'll known, if I'M
developed, great mineral resources
Ireland is capable of supporting in
comfort and plenty 100000
people.
Emigration has been a blessing
as well as a curse to Ireland.
While for go or 70 years it has gone
on depriving Ireland Of all that was
healthiest and brainiest and best in
the country, thus enervating the
race at home, the Irish Nation is
not at the same time unmindful of
the fact that the millions of Ameri-
can money poured home to Ireland
in steady stream has helped, through
the trying decades that have gone
by, to keep alive an Ireland-at-
home. In at least 20 of the 81
counties of Ireland it is rare to find
family that has not a repre-
sentative in America. Some of
them have four or five. In all the
poorer mountainous counties that
border on the rugged western coast
there is hardly a comfortable new
house erected that has not been
erected by American money.

SIMON BRAY ANSWERS
CALL 40 GREAT BEPOND

Simon Bray died at the hospital
at Hollister, California, last Thurs
day of tuberculosis in his sixty
fourth year.
A week before the fatal termin-
alton of his illness he felt we'll and
had high hopes of recovery and a
return to Austin where he had spent
the better part of successful life
and where his best friends live.
But week ago today his condition
became alarming and Joe Bray, a
brother received telegram to come
at once. A telegram was received
Thursday from Joe, stating that
death had come. -. .
Simon Bray was one of the sturdy
characters of Nevada. He was born
in England. He resided in Penn
sylvania for time, but came to Ne
vada in the seventies settling in
Austin. He took out his naturali-
cation papers in this town, and dur
ng the remainder of his life, he
measured up to the highest standards
of good citizenship always taking a
leading part in policies he con-
sidered best for his community and
the state.
In the rough and tumble business
life of the frontier, he formed his
own strict ideals of business probity,
and he leaves a record of square
dealing and stubborn adherence to
principle, that should serve as a
model to the young men of the COM
mnuity in which he exercised his
greatest activities. He made money
in different lines of business as we'll
as in mining and his last years were
spent in comfort and earned ease.
In politics, he exhibited the same
stubborn loyalty to principle that
governed his private and business
life. He was a staunch republican
and, having given his allegiance to
the fundamental principles of the
party, he stood faithful to his opin-
ions, no matter what wave of
temporary expediency carried his
colleagues into other beliefs. He
kept the republican organization
alive in this county, when he was
practically the only one to stand by
the cause" as he was fond of
characterizing it.
He served this district in the
legislature and made his impression
on state legislation at a time when
the state needed just such men as
Simon Bray. He was never married.
Burial will take place next Mon
day in Hollywood cemetery near

SIG, 900, 900, instead of the $1O,-
OOO,OO etimated. This was sus-
tanned by Mr.. Hale, who udeclared
that the total cost of putting one of
lhese vessels in the water probably
would be nearer $3.50, 90, 5000 than
SIG, 90, 5000. Mr.. Hale, in con-
tinuing, said all tqis talk about a
surplus revenue puts US in a FOOLS
paradise. He announced that there
would be deficit at the end of the
year. Senator Gallinger, also a
member of the appropriation comit-
tee, agreed that for the next fiscal
year the expenditures would exceed
the revenue. The present naval ap-
propiation bill carries $133, ZOO, 900
and Mr.. Hale predicted tina at the
present ratio of increases the an
nual appropriation five years hence
will be not les than SITS, 100000.
The expressionof such sentiment
especially by men so high in the
councils of hte nation as are the
gentlemen referred to lent empha-
sis to the plea recently made by
Theodore Roosevelt for a diminui-
ton of armament, and to the words
of Nicholas Murray Butler, presi-
dent of Columbia university, at tie
Lake Mohonk conference on inter-
national arbitration. Mr.. Butler
processes to see behind the efforts
to build more and greater warships

profit by reason of the great expen-
ditures for war. ''Haye you ever

tary purposes are under consider a.
ton, in the reichstag, or just be-
fore such time hostilities are al

profes and which its government
constantly voices has, as it now has,
a navy and the nucleus of an army
entirely adequate for the purpose
of defense, stop should be put to
any increase of armament. They
do not insist that the time has come
when complete Disarmament is
practical, but they do see that as an
evetuallity, and they are willing to
take such chances as seem to be the .
price of what they regard as a
