was successful beyond question.
Departing they will take with them
the best wishes of their kinsmen

Ireland today presents a political
unit that cannot be duplicated in any
country in the world. Factionism is
only name with little real signifi,
canoe when applied to Irish politics.
Nine-tenths of the representatives in
Parliament from Ireland are staunch
members OF the Irish Party-a fact
which is ample justification for the
assertion that the Irish people are
politically united. This unity of pur.
pose is responsible for the command
ing position which the Irish Party
now holds in Parliament. Had there
been serious division in the ranks
Home Rule would be a distant pos.

During the coming session the
question concerning the veto of the
House of Lords will again be consid.
ered 1t is probable that Parliament
will be dissolved and an election de.
clared. In that event the complexion
of the next House will determine what
chances the Irish question will have
for an early solution. If the Liberals
win by a sufficient majority to sue.

House of Lords, the Irish cause is
certain of an early triumph. If on
the other hand the conservatives win

deal of consolation for us. 1t makes
us feel that our work has not been
in vain.
AS We glance back over the past
twenty-five years we are struck by
the wonderful progress that has been
made in this territory. In 1880 Min
neapolis had a population of less than
forty-seven thousand; the federal
census for 1910 shows the population
to be more than three hundred thou
sand-a six-fold increase in thirty
years. And, it may be added, the
Catholic growth of this city has been
no less remarkable than the growth
of the city as a whole. In proof Of
this we have only to point to the
fact that twenty-five years ago there
were not more than eight or nine
Catholic churches in this city: today
the number has increased to twenty
two and a magnificent new pro-cath-
edral is fast assuming form-a fitting
tribute to Catholic activity
To establish an Irish Catholic pub

We owe to the hearty cooperation
of our readers. Had it not been for
this loyal support we could never
have hoped for the success achieved
later on. Early in the history of
the paper We ventured the assertion
that the Irish Standard had entered

by the years. In the natural course

Il distinction which few papers in
this locality enjoy, that of being
edited and managed by the same men
who undertook the work twenty five
years since.
On this occasion we wish to &C.
knowledge the support of all who have
in any way taken a helpful interest
in this paper. We owe particular
debt of gratitude to the Ancient Or
der of Hibernians and it's associate
order, the Ladies' Auxiliary, for the
encouragement and support which
they have so kindly given US. We
appreciate their kindness and the
kindness of all our readers and pat
rons in a way that words are made
quate to express.
In conclusion we have only to add
that the policy of the paper in the
future will be what it has been in
the past-partisan when the prin-
ciples of true democracy are at is

is assaulted, alive to the interests Of
the people of the great Northwest
and last, but by no means least, de-
voted to the cause of Irish national

is not inconsistent with the true prin-
ciples OF citizenship in this great re-
public On these grounds we solicit
a continuation of the generous pat
ronage that has been ours in the
past.

HOLY ANGELS ACADEMY
Thoroughness of Work Characteristic
of This Popular Institution.
Was Established by the Sisters Of
St. Joseph in 1877.

Holy Angels Academy, boarding
school for girls, centrally located in
the city Of Minneapolis, within easy
reach of the street railway system
was established in 1877 by the Sisters
of st. Joseph. For the first five years
only day pupils were received, at the
end of which time the demands of a
rapidly growing commonwealth made
necessary a boarding department
which was accordingly opened in 1882
Since it's conception it has been the
aim of the school to make it's growth
commensurate with the growth of the
city of Minneapolis, whose many edu
cational advantages furnish a powerful
oily in intellectual and moral training
Lighted by gas and electricity, heat
ed by steam and perfectly ventilated
with spacious park for summer play
grounds and recreation halls for in
clement weather, the school is provid
ed with all the modern conveniences
that add to the health and comfort OF
it's inmates.
The chief feature of Holy Angels
Academy, however, is its we'll planned
curriculum, embracing the grades from
the primary to preparation for High
school, inclusive. Thoroughness OF
,, work has always been a characteristic
of the school, its motto being, "Do all
things well:.'' Year by year it has
steadily advanced in patronage and
merit, ranking in 1910, not only as one
of the oldest, but as one of the best
educational institutions of the north
west. The success that has uniformly
attended its graduates in their many
and varied careers, is the best com
mentary on the character of the work
done by this school in the past quart
er of a century. May the greatness OF
the past bring to happy fruition the

COMING GRAIN BELT
LOCATED IN SOUTH

Cincinnati, o. Especial - When
Col. William Bruce Leffingwell the
noted traveller and lecturer, delivers
his series of illustrated talks on The
South and Its Resources" at the Ohio
Valley Exposition, to be held in Gin
cinnau, he will lay particular stress
upon the fact that the South is the
coming grain section of the United
States. Col Lefiingwell will show,
by figures, photographs and moving
pictures, that farmers seeking new
agricultural worlds to conquer need
not travel to Canada, there to endure
climatic hardships, in order to find a
new and productive section on which
to eXpend their labors and their
knowledge of farming. According to
the researches made by Col. Lefiing-
we'll statistics show that much of the
land in the south that heretofore has
been devoted to the culture of cotton,
and which now is being infested by
the dread boil weevil, can be made
more profitable by the scientific culti-
walton Of wheat, corn, oats, barley
and other grains and farm products.

MARBLE QUARRIES
IN KEEN RIVALRY
VIII Make Big Displays at Ohio
Valley Expo.

Cincinnati o. Especially There
has developed keen rivalry
among the marble and granite quar-.
ries of the South for the privilege of
doing something out of the ordinary
In the way of beautifying the exhibit
which the Southern roads will make
of the Ohio Valley Exposition at Gin
cinnati from Aug. 29 to Sept. "a. The
Committee on Southern Resources
has already received the proffer Of
several large urns, six feet in height,
fashioned out of granite and marble
of various colors, as adjuncts to the
Southern exhibit. All that the quar-
ries ask is that the Southern Re-
sources Committee supply them with
specifications for this work and that
they will do the rest, supplying the
raw stone, executing the sculpturing
and arranging ior the polishing.
These offers have been tentatively
accepted, and plans will be evolved
by which all of them possibly can be
taken advantage of. Another aftrac-
tive feature that has been suggested
for the Southern exhibit Is series
OF twelve individual columns. each
surmounted by highly polished ball

EXPOSITION EMPLOYS
ONLY UNION LABOR

Cincinnati, .. Especially Not
only have union workmen the call,
but no man who can not show a
union card in good standing has the
slightest chance to break into the
force of artisans who are erecting
the buildings for the Ohio Valley
Exposition, which will be held in this
city from August 20 to September "a.
About a dozen buildings will be
erected on the banks of the canal
in the rear of Music Hall for The ao-
commodation of various kinds of ex.
hibits and amusement enterprises,
and not tool will be welded on any
of these that is not in the hands Of
a union workman.
In order to avoid all question as to
the standing of any contractor in any
kind of work connected with the Ex-
position, Claude Hagen, director OF
, amuselnents, under whose super
vision the buildings are being erect
ed, decided to employ all his men di-
by contract In this way he has been
able to secure the highest class OF
union men, with the result that work
has progressed rapidly and satisfac-
torily, so that there is not the slight
7 est doubt that all the structures will
be completed some time before the
date set for the opening of the Elk
position.
Speaking of his experiment in TAX,
ing charge of the entire construction
work himself instead of letting 1t by

ed and built some of the largest

and America said: II find this meth
