Laboring with remarkable perseVer-
Honolulu man, Ambrose j. Wirtz of
H. Hackfeld x Co, has produced a
code system for cable and telegraph
message service that is no less re-
markable in its results than the years
of patient endeavor that went into the
making. The Excelsior Code system"
the outcome of his efforts, is COM
piled into three big volumes, and with
in few weeks viii be placed on the
market
on December IL of last year, Mr..
Writ secured both an American and
an international copyright. A company
to handle the books containing the
code system was formed in December,
1903, of local people under the firm
name of the American Hawaiian Pub
fishing Co, Ltd.
The monumental character of Mr..
Writes achievement. from the stand
point of time and labor necessary, may
be realized when it is stated that the
printing of the volumes alone required
practically nine months. The proofs
were revised twenty five times. over
a thousand reams of paper are used
in the preliminary work The volumes
themselves are closely printed, each
containing hundreds of pages, each
nd M,
ber as well as other data used in the
system,
However, it is not the magnitude of
the work that represents the achieve
ment of this Honolulu man. 1t is the
remarkably efficient character of his
system The Excelsior system is to all
! code systems what an encyclopedia is
to a pocket dictionary 1t is capable
of literally billions of combinations of
/ phrases into code words.
| For the first time in the many years
that codes have been in use, one has
! been invented that can hardly be mis-
understood. No mutilation of the mes
sage in transit is sufficient to prevent
it's being read by anyone who has a
code book at the other end This is
| the biggest single feature of Mr.
| Writes system. He has invented a
practically automatic Check" by
means of which messages mixed up
and confused in transit can be read
Alright without repetition over the
wires.
+ However, his code is twenty times
lone. He has lahored until he can eX-

OLD TIMES
viii Come Again at Big
Celebration on
July 20.

Thousands of Louisville Irish
Americans who remember the great
picnics given under the auspices of
the Ancient Order OF Hibernians are
anxious for July 20 to roll around
so they may mfngle once more with
their old friends. Phoeniu Hill Park
will be thnonged on that occasion
and every committee is working hard
in promoting its particular purpose.
Prof. Dennis Collins orchestra will
furnish the music, which is a guar
antee that the dancers will not be
disappointed.
Among those who are managing
the affair are ID. J. Coleman, Thomas

THIRD PLACE.
Can Clinch Third
Position I'm Present
Series.

Mike Kelly's st. Paul team will
play here again this afternoon and
tomorrow, and Louisville by winning
both games can entrench themselves
in third place. Two old Louisville
players are in the st. Paul lineup,
Harry Howell, who is making a
strong factor in the Kelly aggrega-
ton, and Delehanty, who is playing
one of the best games in the associa-
ton just now. The present lineup
of Louisville was suggested in these
columns last week, and the Colonies
now have team which should be a
big factor in the fight for the PEN
nant, the roster being perfect from
a batting standpoint and only
slightly weak in one place, second
base. simply from the fact that the
position is new to Manager Howard,
but he can be depended upon to put
up an average good game and which
will be counter-balanced by his
splendid hitting The attendance at
the games has been all that could be
desired and shows that Louisville
fans will surely support first divis-
ion team.

GREETING.

With this issue the Kentucky
Irish American rounds out its
twelfth year. 1t has been twelve
years of hard work, but the work has
been lightened by the encouragement
of friends and patrons 1t may have
made mistakes. Those were unin-
territorial. and have been forgotten.
The Kentucky Irish American has
tried to furnish the news and to call
attention to abuses. In that it stands
on the Kentucky "Bill of Rights"
that grants liberty to the printing
press, a liberty to examine public
documents and to criticize men in
public life. The Kentucky Irish
American has never Willingly told
an untruth concerning anybody. If
it has told the truth that has injured
the feelings of the guilty, so much
the better. For this we have abso-
lutely no regrets.
1t is our intention to publish news
of interest to Kentuckians, Irish
Americans and German-Americans as
of yore, and to fight evils and abuses
of public confidence wherever we
find them.
The Kentucky Irish American bids
you greeting on its twelfth birthday
and asks your continued patronage.

KEEP THEM AT SCHOOL.

The Milwaukee Citizen, one of the
able Catholic journals of the day,
under the head OF "Parsimony With
Childhood" goes after the people
who sell the souls of their children
for handful of nickels. The Citizens
says;
Whether the boy or the girl shall
be high or low in the social and
Industrial scale depends largely upon
the way three or four years of the
life between the twelfth and seven
teenth birthdays are spent. Some
parents crave the earnings OF their
children between these years. The
boy OF thirteen can earn So week
or perhaps $3.50 a year. In three
years he can earn s600-but It may
cost him his prospects in life.
Kept at school until sixteen. he
might start life with good common
school education-probably with
year or so IN the high school. to give
him further ambition. Sent to work
at thirteen. he is handicapped for life

INDEPENDENCE DAY.

Next Tuesday the people of this
nation will celebrate. independence
day. From the Canadian border to
the Gulf of Mexico and from Cape
Cod to the Pacific coast flags will
wave, bunting will flutter in the
breezes and in many sections there
will be wells and fountains of
oratory. Why?
Because on July 4, 1875, the
American colonies announced their
Independence; that they had sep
arated from Great Britain and
tyranny.
During the past 1876 years the
nation has grown. The original
thirteen colonies not only flourished,
but they sent sturdy men and helpful
women to found other colonies and
build other States. Now the United
States of America stands without a
peer among the nations of the earth.
The. United States is at peace with
all the world. Her people love
liberty and they enjoy liberty. On
July 4 they will decorate their homes
with flags. They may wear them on
their bosoms. Therein lies their
strength. Other nations know
The flags they wear are flags they'd
dare to follow to the fray"
July 4 is a day to celebrate. 1t is
not necessary to use fireworks and
giant crackers, revolvers and dan
gerous pyrotechnics. Gather the
children around you. Tell them
about Concord, Bunker Hill, Wash
ington, Wayne, Sullivan and the
heroes. of the Revolution. Recite
the story of Americas struggles from
1875 until the present. 1t is a pleas
ing and an interesting story.
And remember to tell them that
Irish blood consecrated every Ameri-
can battlefield from the war of 1916
to that of 1898. The Irish standard
has been beside the Stars and Stripes
on every American field of valor. It
was this that made the poet sing:
"Old Glory's there-'tis you that's
fair!
No flag on earth like youl
And by your side | see with pride
Old Ireland's banner, too"
