a pretty safe thing that he has relative
named Uncle Primus living up in Union
county who'd recall him in minute, and
possibly burst into tears at the memory.
Canada Bill was one of the pioneers
of our hurried civilization, one of the
first and one of the greatest. He was a
sturdy pathfinder who Jared forth into

This is the slogan of the Irishmen of

speaking of the movement, which he in
augurated with Joseph d. Sullivan, a
Washington lawyer, is an enthusiast upon
the subject of Ireland.
MY several visits to Ireland have con-
vinced me-" he said, that one has but
to return there to feel that the Irish
who had succeeded so well in other lands
would, with equal opportunity, be just as
successful in Ireland. Who can doubt
that Irishmen, gathered together again
from the four corners of the earth,
bringing with them their rich store of
experience from every land under the
sun, would see the wonderful opportuni-
Ties that Undoubtedly await capital today
In the revival of Irish industries, and,
seeing them, would accomplish, with their
experience and money, an awakening In
Ireland that would astonish the world?
The Irish in Ireland have the skill, the
Irish elsewhere have the resources for
using that skill to the best advantage.
firmly believe that such a movement as
IL proposed would result in combining
both to their mutual benefit Moreover,
aside from the material advantages of
such a reunion, l need only mention the
fact to enable you to realize the i'm
measurable benefit that would accrue, not
only to the Irish in ireland but to Irish
men everywhere, from the interchange
OF ideas among those who would thus

tleShips SustainS Big
Navy AdherentS.

There can be no doubt about the senti-
ment Of Congress concerning the ques-
ton Of greater armament for this coun-
try. The vote IN the Senate yesterday
afternoon on the Meyer plan for two
battleships was decisive The House
did not give as overwhelming a major
ity for the two-ship plan as did the
Senate. but the majority there was a
safe one.
With the defeat OF the Burton amend
ment, which would have had the effect
Of ordering one battleship instead Of
two. the only real fight over the naval
appropriation bill in either house came
20 an end. There was little or no op-
position 10 any Of the other amendments
which were proposed and acted upon

plates the construction of two battle

of two feet GOLFERS to cost about $1,000. e.
