This is Saint Patrick's day, but more
than that it is Ireland's day.
Almost every country has it's great
man whose name is indissolubly linked
with its own. America has Columbus
and Washington France has her Ma
poleon; Rome her wolf-reared twins;
Switzerland her William Tell.
Alone of all the countries, Ireland
has as her great name that Of a saint
known for the simple goodness of his
worthy life.

approval for singleness of purpose and

brought to them the light of Christian.
ity.
Intense by nature, additionally brill
liant in an intellectual way, the Irish
have been despoiIed of national iden-
tity by nation which is superior only
in numbers. The sorrows of Ireland are
historic but they have developed in
her the qualities and the men that hays
made her great. And yet her expert
ence has not embittered the national
mind nor changed the national ideals.
She honors her heroes who sought to
relieve her oppression; she loves them
for their noble striving, with no re.
proach for failure.
The Emerald Isle is the smallest part
Of Ireland. Another nation may rule
the island politically. but the higher
and greater Ireland will never be van
quished and dependent so long as Saint
Patrick's name is lovingly bestowed
on so many of her sons and so long as
every 18th of March puts a girdle of
green around the globe.

Clark insisted on Knowing in connec-
ton with appropriations for the de-
partment of justice whether Mr.. Ellis
had actually ceased to draw his salary
as assistant attorney general since he
had taken charge of the Ohio cam
paign. Mr.. Tawncy expressed his con-
fidence that Mi. Ellis no longer re-
ceived any salary from the govern
ment, but it was found on inquiry that
Mr.. Tawney presumed too much, for
Ellis hadn't ceased. A jolt is due him.

manhood ard womanhood of that coun-
try may freely represent their own af-
fairs, and, in fact, will not accept
any settlement short of national in
dependence.
We have an abiding faith in the
ability of the Irish people, properly
organized and wisely led, to win ma
tional independence by work on Irish
soil. and we deny that it can be either
won or advanced by any action what
ever in the British parliament or by
reliance upon or alliance with any
British party for the purpose of alter
ing the British constitution, or for
any other English object. Ireland as
nation, organized, resolute and self
reliant, outstanding her strength and
watching her opportunity, must deal
with England as a nation, and in this
way will win the respect Of the world
and Create the opportunity that will
give her final victory.
We pledge anew our allegiance to
the principles and policy of the indie
pendence of Ireland, and we stand in
the way Of no class or section of the
| Irish people who seek to alleviate their
hard lot by any means within their
power, but as no Irish question can
be properly settled until Ireland Is
free to settle it in her own way, I'M
trammeled by any outside authority
or influence whatever, We insist that
the national question must take prec-
! edence of all minor issues. In the
reawakening spirit of the Irish people
at home and in Englands growing
troubles abroad we sc4 the prospect
OF an early victory for Irish freedom,
victory that can only be attained by
steadfast adherence to the principles
and policy of Robert Emmett and Wolfe
Tone, and by earnest, intelligent work
on the part of men who believe in
| those principles.

HIS TRUST IN THE PARTY.

The recent appeal made for funds
throughout Ireland in behalf of the

with most generous response and at

SONS OF ERIN
Declare National Existence for Ireland
Is InaIienabIe Right.

At a largely attended meeting of
the Irish Benevolent Association of ST..
Paul, held in that city on the 9Th inst,
the following resolutions were adopt
ed:
One hundred and seven years after
the execution of Robert Emmett the
Irish nation stands essentially in the
same position as in 1903, notwithstand-
ing some change in our outward ap-
pearance. England's usurped authority
is maintained by force alone; the mass
of the Irish people are profoundly dis
satisfied: such concessions as are made
by the foreign parliament are given
very grudgingly, effect no final or sat-
isfactory settlement, having imposed
new and heavier burdens on the peo-
undeveloped, the national life stif1ed,
and the people in poverty. A govern
ment having even a valid title to rule
would forfeit that title if guilty of
the sins of commission and omission
Of which the English government of
today is guilty in Ireland.
We reaff1rm Ireland's inalienable
right to a separate and distinct ma
tional existence, q right which would
not be forfeited If England governed
well, but is strengthened a hundred
fold by England's misgovernment of
Ireland. We only ask for govern
ment in ireland in which the adult

HAS THROWN OFF THE MASK.

President Taft will fight stand pat
Republicans and openly oppose Re-
publican insurgents throughout the
country in the coming congressional
campaign. For his decisive battle
grounds the president has picked the
strongest insurgent states. On such
fields he wants to beat Republican in
surgency into the dust. The return
from Elba," on top of the hammering
given his tariff bill, Secretary .Ballin-
ger. his present legislative program
and other features of his administra-
ton, seem to have driven the Presi-
dent into fine frenzy. He is fright
ened, bewildered, angry and obstinate.
In this frame of mind he has turned
on the Republican insurgents with
fury. and to the stand pat Republicans
for sympathy and support.
The Presidents nominal excuse for
siding with the stand-pat crowd is that
he wants his administration indorse'l
in Republican platforms this year. In
no case has he asked Republican in
surgcnts to help him get that indorse-
ment. even in insurgent states. AS a
matter Of fact the President has thrown
Oft the mask. He has been secretly
hostile to the Republican insurgents
from the first. To Taft they seemed
CIV Lor t;oF,
always disturbing the easy-going, golf
playing White House atmosphere with
demands that the President do some
thing. Now he frankly avows his hos
tility. Aldrich and Cannon had the
Presidents sympathy from the first,
they have had his quiet support for
some time, and now they can parade
his own endorsement.
Iowa has been picked as the state
in which an awful example of insur-
gents can most easily be made. The
other day the President had a con-
ference with Representatives Smith
and Kennedy, the two stand-pat con-
gressmen of that state; Uncle Pete"
Hepburn, the ex-congressman, and
Chairman Mckinley, head of the ma
tional republican congressional COM
mittee and right-hand man for Speak
err Cannon. This conference was held
to organize a rescue mission to Iowa
Republicans, who are to be dissauded
from following farther after the "here-
sizes" of Cumnins and Dolliver, and to
be led back into the stand pat fold The
rally cry of this rescue movement is
to be, STAND by the President" First
of ALL Uncle Pete Hepburn, heading
the rescue band is to fight Dolliver and
Cummins for control of the state con-
vention. If he wins, the resolution
committee will repudlate Cummins and
Dolliver as hard as it's bosses dare 10
have it. The Aldrich tariff law will
be described as the finest thing in
tariff reform, and Taft as model
president.
The Iowa situation, thus created by
the President is merely illustrative of
his general campaign which covers
Wisconsin, Indiana, and the MISSISSIPPI
ri valley, or, in other words, the in
surgent territory.

Harry w. Walker has finally succeed

er having made sixteen different at
tempts to do so within as many years.
He was getting a salary of $4,000 a
year, an amount he felt he was not
justified in receiving because of the
small amount of work he had to per-
