Dr. James J. Walsh has given to the
readers of the July Harper's Magazine
an interesting and valuable article on
the Irish brogue," manner of pro-
nunciation which is not the result Of
ignorance or lack of education, but of
adherence to primitive methods, says
America. "Tea" for instance, was
"tays in Queen Anne's time; and may

nunciation Of the eli sound in neither"

sion, "old DART" meaning 1.-The old
country" solves pathological puzzle.
The word "earth' was formerly pro-
nounced "arth," just as we say harth
and not "herth" in speaking of the
hearth" AS it often happens that
Irishmen omit the sound of the final h
in certain words-an omission which
was also once quite proper-hence
1.-The old EARTH or "old land' ecame
"the old earth" or "old land" became
into the "old dart" The article is not
only interesting but instructive.

AN ETERNAL PROBLEM.

Six months ago Mayor Haynes ap.
pointed a commission of fifteen per-
sons to investigate the social evil
problem in this city. Last week the
commission submitted it's report. II
is a long document which goes into
the details of the moral conditions ex-
listing in the city in the past and in
the present and compares the results
under the policy of segregation with
the results obtained under the present
policy of complete suppression. After
their investigation which has includ.
ed study of conditions in many other
cities in the United States the men,
bers of the commission are convinced
that the policy Of complete suppress.
sion is the wisest course.
Like the poor, the vice menace will
be ever with us and will offer an eter.
nal problem to social centers. The
only safe rule that can be observed
is to choose the lesser of two evils

that are made to suppress it is safe

the good of the community to permit
it to exist known to the law in GER.
tain sections is question which ex.
perience must beside.
On the whole we believe the rec
ommendation of the commission.
namely, that it be not tolerated by
law, is the wisest course. The chief
objection to this policy is that sup.
preston does not suppress; that So
ciety will be endangered more owing
to the fact that in spite of the vigil
! lance of the police it will continue to
thrive. But counter charge may be
made against segregation. namely,
that it does not segregate. All things
considered, it is as difficult to confine
the evil to a given locality as it is to
eradicate it altogether.
1t is fact too often proven that a
city with lax laws will soon become
the rendezvous of that class of per-
sons who find the laws, suitable to the
plying of their trade Reno, Nevada,
because of it's lax divorce laws, has
become divorce mill with a world
reputation. Other places in like man.
ner become the homes of higHwaymen.
And in the same way if city is lax in
it's attitude, toward vice it will become
a loadstone attracting the hotsam and
jetsam of society to its confines If
the policy of suppression is pursued
with watchfulness and vigor and every
infraction of the law is punished by
severe penalties it will be possible to
hound from the city a large percentage
of it's debauched population and the
remaining portion can be handled with
greater facility. The evil is baneful
one and unless positive evidence is
forthcoming that the policy Of sup
preston is fraught with greater dan.
gers to the city as whole than are
likely to accrue from following the
other alternatives, it ought to be
bounded to it's lair and garroted out
of existence wherever it can be found

POLITICS OF THE WEEK.

Senator LaFollette in his speech in
the Senate against reciprocity re-
viewed in detail the entire Taft ad-
ministration and declared that the rec
iprocity bill violated in letter and
spirit every principle and every
promise of the republican platform,
expressed or implied and every print
ed or spoken word and inducement
employed to secure the votes neces-
sary to elect William H. Taft"
LaFollette declared that Mr. Taft
who was elected to be the custodian
of the Roosevelt policies not only dis
missed the Roosevelt cabinet and ap-
pointed a cabinet of we'll known hos
tility to those policies but he has be-
come glazing example of complete
surrender to special interests. The
speaker reviewed the promises of the
1908 platform on which President Taft
made his campaign, went into the
Ballinger-Pinchot controversy, the
Payne-Aldrch tariff bill and the
Alaska coal scandal and at every turn
accused the President of betraying his
trust.
The date fixed for the final vote on
the reciprocity bill is July %. 1t is
expected that the bill will pass the
senate by a two thirds majority. Sem
ator Bailey of Texas and LaFollette of
Wisconsin are the leading opponents
Ci the measure. 1t is a we'll known
fact that LaFollette will try to get the
Republican nomination in 1912 and his
activity now is no doubt intended for
an asset in the coming campaign. At
any rate he is losing no opportunity
to create spirit of hostility toward
the man who will be his chief oppon-
ent in the next Republican conven-
ton.

statehood bill which will be August

tauqua entertainments are in progress
and speakers of prominence are in

the session comes to an end very
shortly after the reciprocity bill, for
the consideration of which the special
session was held, is finally disposed Of.
Already the members of Congress
have lost many opportunities of ap-
