.OBR|[N DEFEATED
Leader of "AIl For ireland"
Faction Regulated.
BITTER ENEMY OF REDMOND
British Elections Are Drawing TO a
Close With Prospects of an In
creased Majority For the
Liberals.

London, Dec. 1.-THE feature OF the
returns of the elections Is the defeat
of William O'Brien. leader OF the All
for ireland" faction Of the Nationalist
movement. and the bitter enemy OF
John Redmond.
OBrens opposition to Redmond Is
on the basis of no compromise. The
tendency OF the latter to work with
the English Liberal leaders has
brought the government to the point
OF promising local self-goyernment FOR
ireland as soon as the veto OF the lords
shall be limited O'Brien. however.
With his dozen parliamentary follow
ers. demands absolute home rule, the
establishment of q separate Irish ma
tlonality at once without dependence
upon England.
by the moral effect Of OBrien's de-
feat it is thought that Redmond's po-
sition will be strengthened In gaining
reforms from Mr.. Asquith.
OBrlen was defeated in East Cork
by Captain Donelan by 3l77 votes TO
1924 lie still holds his seat in parlia-
ment. having contested two constit'
urncies.
one gain each for the Liberals and
TIE Unionlsts Is the result of Friday $
elections The respective totals now
are. Government Coalitionists, S7T
I'nionlsts. 26l The composite govern
ment majority Is formed as follows:
Liberals. 2GO: Irish Nationalists, 65;
Independent Nationalist. 10; Labor

Laborites Gain.
The I.aborites are the only party
thus far to show an increased repre-
soatation in the new parliament AL
ready they have secured two seats in
addition to those held in the previous
house OF commons.
Only twenty-nine seats remain to be
filled Premier Asquith's followers
now have a majority OF ll3. as against
a total majority in the last parliament
-
majority will be increased to 1876.
The O'Brlenites scored a success 10

candidate, Walsh, turned out +. Parry,

circulating the manuel or drill for ir

In the new parliament as in the
last parliament, the Nationalists could
overthrow the government by COM
bining with the Unionists but the Lib
erals, Laborites and Nationallsts are
all equally DESTROYS Of abolshing the
veto Of the house OF lords. and may be
expected to work together to attain
that end.
Chancellor Lloyd-George said In a
speech at Eastman that when the cleo.
lions are over the government, apart
from the Irish vote. will have a Brit
ish majority OF at least sixty. He be-
lieves this election will leave a deeper
impression on history than any other
in modern times.
"The carrying Of the veto bill will
be only the beginning Of the Liberal
program" he declared. THE constitu-
ton will be reformed in such a way
that the last yestige Of inequality be-
tween the two parties will be re
moved"

Then turning in the direction of Chair
man Day, he added, Il am glad to well
come Mr.. Day once more, entirely re-
covered and ready for renewed activ-
ity. l want to call his attention to
the fact that there is only one thing
the state of Minnesota does not manu-
facture and that is kitchen cabinets,
and there is an old one now on sale
at reduced rates."
The governor was introduced by the
POSTMASTER as man who had made
good and in the opening of his adj
dress, Mr.. Pinchot paid tribute to
the governor for what he had done for
the conservation movement in Mime
sofa and throughout the nation.
Garfield's Address.
In the opening of his address, For
mer Secretary Garfield called atten-
ton to the settlement of the Mime
sofa swamp lands accomplished
through Governor Johnson and the at
torney general of Minnesota. He said
there were more states rights men in
the West than there are in the South.
"They say" said Mr.. Garfield, I'VE
don't want you Eastern men to inter-
fere. That is the spirit that will in
terfere with the settlement of such
cases as the one from Minnesota that
have just noted. We are a nation
with big N. AS nation we must
take up these subjects of conserva-
ton. This does not mean the states
are to loose their political entity, but
the states must realize they are but a
small portion of the nation"
Because the people of Minnesota are
in control of three water sheds, the
speaker said, it does not follow the
people of Minnesota can control them.
The same thing is true of the fuel sup
ply and Of lumber.
Simply because the people of Penn
sylvania were unwise in caring for
their fuel supply, it does not follow
that the people of the United States
fuel supply in the West and even in
Alaska. The man who steals public
property, he said, is the same as the
man who steals private property. I'm
der the old order of things it was con-
sidered proper to exploit the public
domain. The same thing is true of the
cattle ranges and the old cattle men
naturally resent what has come to be
looked upon as right.

of the two noted speakers, omitted one
vertised as a fighting talk" 1t was
not more Of fighting talk than was
that of Former Secretary Garfield.
Both speakers handled their subjects
without gloves. Mr.. Garfeld's talk
was a philosophic exposition of the
meaning and purpose of the conserva-
ton movement. Mr.. Pinchot's was an
epigramatic attack on the present
order of politics. He dwelt on this
feature at length and in closing his
address, said that to drive out the
interests" was the one object to be
attained.
The Payne-Aldrich tariff bill was
bitterly attacked by the former for
ester, and the wooden schedule was es-
pecially singled out as an example of
the betrayal of public trust.
It was alleged by both speakers that
corporate influence was too powerful
at Washington and that legislators did
their behests rather than perform their
duties as legislators.
Aimed at Taft.
No direct attack was made on the
president, but indirect references were
made which might naturally be taken
as being aimed directly at the nations
executive.

st. Paul. - Before large gather
ing which yelled enthusiastically at
the mention of the name of Theodore
Roc evelt and at a gathering that had
all the appearance of the Inaugural
ton of third term movement for
Theodore Roosevelt, Clifford .Pinchot,
deposed national forester, delivered
his fighting talk"
The address was delivered at the
banquet given by the ST. Paul Roose-
welt club at the Ryan hotel to Mr..
Pinchot and to James R. Garfield, for
mer secretary of the interior.
Mr.. Garfield and Mr. Pinchot were
the chief speakers in a program which
included happy address by Gov. A.
o. Eberhart.
1t was an enthusiastic gathering,
and significant as pointing to the pur-
pose of the affair, the name of Presi-
dent William H. Taft was not men,
toned, although some indirect refer
ences made by the speakers might
have been aimed at the nations ex-
ecutive.
Another significant feature of the
affair was that in opening his adj
dress, Mr.. Pinchot pointedly said:
Il have been asked many ques-
tons since my arrival here. Neces-
sarily I am debarred from saying
anything and to all of them 1
have replied, L have nothing to
say But think I might be per-
mitted to say that in selecting the
name of your club you have made
no mistake"
This was the nearest approach which
Mr.. Pinchot has made to any reference
to the possible future of the former
president and was received with a
yell of applause.
The banquet followed a busy day in
st. Paul, the two distinguished visitors
having arrived in the morning at ST.
Paul, where they were taken at once
to the Minnesota club. Later the par.
ty went to the capitol and made an
automobile trip to Minneapolis.
A o'clock luncheon at the Mime.
sofa club, where Governor Eberhart
and President Louis w. Hill of the
Great Northern railroad were guests
was another feature Of the day.

PRESIDENTS NORTHRUPS LAST
COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS

In President Northrop's last COM
mencement address delivered June
9th, 1910, he traced the early history
of education in this country and
showed it's development through the
early years and down to the present.
Then he told of the University of Min
uesota; what it stands for and what
it needs for future development. He
advised special attention to be paid
to agriculture and showed the trend
of public schools toward special train
ing and predicted an early change in
the plans and policies of the lower
grades and the University education
He advised retention of co-education
and predicted that women would have
larger place in the future professional
and business life of the country. He
asked the rich men of the state to en-
dow the University with the most
needed building at the present time,
a mems building. He showed how
high place Minnesota holds among
the state Universities of the country
and paid very high tribute to the
graduates of the University who are
making good the world over.
'In 1869 the University was organ
lied as teaching college under
plan prepared by its first president,
Or. William w. Folwell, and its first

The Rude Visitor.

There is story about the secretary
of golf club who was man of d.
minutive stature. 1t was summer time,
and the grass had been allowed to
grow rather long. The secretary was
playing in front of visitor who was
very long driver, and kept dropping
his ball in the neighborhood of the
secretary all the way round. At last
the little man could stand it no longer
and walked back and demonstrated
with the visitor on his conduct, but
the only reply he got was, IF you
would cut the grass, one might be
able to see YOU"
