Hone for the Irish Cause.

John Redmond, Irish leader in the
British Parliament, brings a message
to Irish-Americans that the day of
home rule in Ireland is not far distant.
He assures them that the greatest step
toward Irish nationality has been
taken, that the outer barriers of Brit
ish opposition have been beaten down
and that the boon of free government
is now almost within grasp; that the
dream OF Parnell and other Irish
patriots is coming to. its fruition.
The story of Ireland's struggle for
national freedom is a long and tragic
one, fraught with examples OF unset
fish patriotism, sacrifice and devotion,
and it may well be hoped that what
Mr.. Redmond says is correct. Even
Great Britain can think of no actual
reason for longer denying home rule
to ireland. and 1t would he granted
without further delay but for the fact
that the canker of the old prejudice is
not wholly burned out of the ruling
powers. But 1t is burning fast and
soon will be gone.
THE sons of Ireland have sworn
to be free" These words of the great
patriot have sounded in the ears OF
true Irishmen for generations and
they have never lost their magic. To-
day they are sounding as plainly as
when they were uttered. They have
been an inspiration for better deeds
throughout the years. Irishmen in
America, or wherever they have gone,
have stood steadfast for the principles
of freedom and free government.
They have been good citizens, good
statesmen; they have helped other ma
tons than their own to rise to greater
heights OF power and usefulness. They
have helped with their lives in the
battles OF liberty. II there is race
under the sun that deserves home
rule, self-government, II is the Irish
race. II has long. long ago proved
it's power to cope with the task OF ad-
ministering the affairs OF state, and
when that is done, what else is to be
done?
II is a serious question whether
England can safely deny this right to
Ireland much longer. She knows by
now that the spirit OF Robert Emmett
will never die; that 1t lives today more
militant than II did when that great
patriot uttered his last immortal plea
for the civil liberty OF his people, His

Hughes and Two.Cent Fares.

Some interest is being aroused over
the fact that the Missouri accent fare
law is 10 come before the supreme
court for final settlement and that
Governor Hughes. who will be a MEM
Der of that court, vetoed the New York
2-cent fare dill after it was passed by
the legislature. But the analogy Is
not very close. The conditions in the
two states are very different and there
is no sort of reason why Governor
Hughes action should embsrrass As
sociate Justice Hughes in the least.
For many years New York had a
fare of cents q mile on many lines
of the New York Central, and in the
case OF commuters it had rates below
cents a mile, as low in instances as
/ cent a mile. The number of persons
to be benefited by a statutory maxi
mum fare of cents, such as that con-
templated in the legislatures meas
ure, was not as great as the number
already deriving benefits under the
ola COnQlLlOnSs his was only enc VI
the considerations that appealed to
Governor Hughes, who vetoed the bill.
not on the ground that 2-cent fare
was unjust, but on the ground that the
proper charge should be fixed only
after thorough examination into all
the factors entering into the problem.
In Missouri there never had been
such reduced rates and the people be-
lieved there we're conditions which
warranted a 2-cent fare, hence urged
their legislators to give them such a
law. This they did, but Judge Nc
Pherson set 1t aside. That is how 1t
comes to be before the United States
supreme court Missouri believes the
law will be upheld. There may be
some technical defects as to its con-
struction or passage that may annul
it, but the court will not have to con-
slider in It's review of the case any such
arguments as applied in New York,
and therefore Governor Hughes will
be in the same position as any other
member of the court in addressing
himself to this case.

Campaign Books.

The democratic congressional cam
paign book for 1910 is large, fat
volume, compared with the republican
book. 1t is three times as large, or
as heavy. 1t is being sent broadcast
over the country under the frank of
Representative James T.sLloyd, chair
man of the democratic congressional
committee.
This would not be of interest except
for the fact that democrats are max
ing the most of their present campaign

republicans and promised economy"

postal system. These books would
turn In something of a revenue to that
system if Mr.. Lloyd did not cheat it
by sending them under his frank,
which is given him purely for oficial
business. The democrats will reply
that this campaign book contains only
extracts from the Congressional Rec
ord, and therefore comes within the
limits OF the law. But they are
wrong; it contains more than extracts
from the Congressional Record. 1t

Cleveland Leader
In the United States and the world the
year proves to be one OF the best ever
known for crops. II is clear now that the
products OF the soil will be worth as much
to this country as they ever were, taken
In the mass. In bulk they will fall little
short OF the bumper year, IL they do not
break all records.
Corn seems safe at about the top limit OF
the countrys history. oats have appar-
emily beaten all records. There Is a good
yield of wheat, not far short Of the best
crop ever harvested. Barley and rye are
fair, taking everything into account
Hence the well-founded confidence Of
merchants and manufacturers in the con-
tiI ued large consumption OF staple mer-
chandise by the rural half Of the country
Despite local exceptions, here and there to
the general rule, farming has made great
gains in the last year, and II promises
notable progress In the future. American
agriculture Is not only the greatest OF in
dustries in the United states. but one OF the
most important and flourishing in the
world.

POSTAL BANK FUNDS,

Portion of the Deposits to Go Into
Panama Canal Beads,
Chicago News.
When the establishment of the postal
savings bank system was under considera-
ton the supporters OF the plan argued that
the government would find 1t convenient to
make use OF the system as q means of Dor
rowing money from the people for public
purposes. The soundness OF the argument
is sustained even before the new project is
actually put into operation.
Naturally such an undertaking as the
Panama canal would be paid for by bond
issues rather than from current revenues
However, there has already been advanced
from the national treasury for Panama
canal construction t116,oo0.ooc with the ex-
pectation that the treasury should be reim-
bursed when bonds are sold. But
under existing conditions the secretary of
the treasury does not wish to issue more
bonds. According to press dispatches from
Washington he sees relief for the situation
in the prospect for the early establish
ment OF the postal savings system author
lied by congress at its recent session.
1t is stated that Secretary Of the Treas
ury McVeagh, after conferences with the
president has decided to take advantage
of the provision of the postal bank law al
lowing the issuance Of postal bank bonds
for the replenishment of the treasury.
This will be done in case the deposits flow
into the banks when opened, as they will
be soon, as rapidly as anticipated. The
government will merely take q portion Of
the postal bank funds, giving therefor Its
bonds bearing ga per cent interest. The
ability to do this will be OF great benefit
to the government, at the same time af-
fording the best possible Investment for
the savings funds.
As time goes on the value to the nation
of the postal savings system authorized by
recent action OF congress will be more and
more highly esteemed in many ways
