as having said that if he had the pow
er he would put down his Protestant
opponents with a strong hand. That
was a deliberate and shameful false
hood. The cause which needed the
use of such degraded and ignoble
methods was absolutely hopeless. 1t
was an argument of their opponents
that under Home Rule an Irish Par
lament would change the law of civil
marriage to bring it into conformity
with the provisions Of the Ne Temere
Decree. He indignantly denied the
possibility of anything of the kind.
The Irish Parliament would have no
power to pass such a law even If it
desired. On the financial aspect of the
question, Mr.. Redmond said their OPP
ponents represented that Ireland had
been living for a century in luxury
and ease on the bounty of England,
but the official figures showed that
Ireland had paid 6 330,OO0,O0O as her
contribution to the Navy and Army
and expenses of the Empire. A change
had now come over the financial stu
alton since the Union, and last year
Ireland was q dead loss to the En-
pire. Ireland was bound up In part
nership with one of the richest coun-
into housekeeping with a rich friend
on the understanding that they would
only pay a percentage Of the house,
hold expenses, when the rich friend
began to go in for motor cars and all
sorts Of luxuries. although they were
only paying small percentage. the
amount had grown up until 1t had
beggared the country. They could not
conduct government cheaply without
the consent of the governed. It had
not been to the interest of the Irish
to effect economy in administration,
what was saved only went back into
the Imperial Exchequer. They said to
England, 'Give Ireland control of her
own Government, let Ireland make
economies for herself, and the loss on
Irish Government will speedily disap-
pear" His own belief was that the
financial argument for Home Rule was,
from an English point of view, the
strongest OF all, that the small loss
which was shown today would go on
increasing. Give Ireland power to cut
her loss. and Ireland would speedily
become q prosperous industrial coun-
try, but why after all should the great
est, most powerful, and most wealthy
people III the world degrade the great
question Of Justice and freedom down
to the level Of pounds. shillings and
pence. Irishmen, it was said, made
bitter enemies, but staunch friends
They had helped to build and govern
this Empire, and yet in their own
country England had never been able
to gain their confidence and affection.
In his heart and conscience he believ
ed that they could do so how. All they
had to do was to crafty the natural
and proper desire OF the Irish race, to
trust Irlshmen as they had trusted
Australians, Canadians and Beers. On
the day when the English people re-
opened the portals of the Irish Parlia-
ment in Dublin, Great Britain would
win not only the loyalty and affection
OF great race. but the admiration and
appreciation Of every civilized country

to be nearer Caterina as she spoke.

TAFT EXPECTED SOON TO
GIVE OUT ALASKA POLICY

Beverly, Mass, Sept. 4.-When
President Taft visits the national
conservation congress at Kansas City
September rs, it is probable he will
make clear the administrators fu-
ture attitude on Alaskan affairs.
1t is expected that Kansas City, or
possibly few days before, the presi-
dent will meet Secretary of the In
terror Fisher, who is now in Alaska,
and IS counted on for a first-hand
accurate report on conditions in the
Northern territory.
1t was pointed out as probable that
after the talk with his secretary with
an audience interested in conserva-
ton before him, the president would
announce the administrations policy
or outline it to some extent.
The president is said to be deter
mined to settle as soon as possible
the questions that. confront develop
ment in Alaska and may preach his
doctrine not only in Kansas City, but
at other points in the West and
Northwest.

JUDGE CHADWICK SAYS
HE IS OUT OF POLITICS

Olympia, Sept. 5. Declaring that
the constitution prevents him from
cherishing the ambition and that his
election on a nonpartisan ticket bars
him from becoming involved in parti-
san politics, Judge S. j. Chadwick.
of the supreme court, has written HI.
d. Merritt, of Spokane, that he will
not be a candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination for governor next
fall
Judge Chadwick says that the am
bition to become governor is a
worthy one and that he would seri-
ously consider becoming a candidate
If it was not for the fact that a sec
ton of the constitution which bars
judges of the superior and supreme
benches from being eligible for any
other Office while holding such posi-
ton prevents him from so doing.
He says that resigning, some ar
que, would enable him to do so, but
he declares that this would be vio-
lation of the spirit of not the letter
OF the law, and he states that the
people have right to demand of
judges that they do not become can
didates for any other Office while
holding a place on the bench. Under
the circumstances he says that he
can not become a candidate.

RADICAL CHANGES EXPECTED
IN COAST SALMON INDUSTRY


Friday Harbor, Sept. Captain
Tarta, of the state patrol boat Bes-
sic, Of the fisheries department, is
OF the opinion that the next two
years will witness startling changes
IN the operation of the salmon fish
cries.
Plans for 1928 indicate a
change of base oceanward. BY 1913
the feet Of purse seiners will be
doubled. Larger and better boats
Will be built. Fewer traps will be
put in. Gamers will depend more
and more upon the purse seiners for
their supply Of fish.
The purse seiners have unmistak-
ably demonstrated their efficiency
this season, he says. The canneries
will find 1t necessary to locate at
some point nearer to the supply of
fish, as near to the entrance to the
straits as they can get.
The despised humpback is now
king, but they will not stand ship
ping any great distance. It is not
unlikely that 1913 may bring the
floating cannery anchored close to
the supply of fish, also the slogan
fresh from the mesh, from ocean to
table"

FLOATING COURT FINISHES
YEARLY TRIP IN ALASKA

Valdez, Alaska, Sept q Judge
Thomas R. Lyons and his floating
court have returned to Valdez on
the revenue cutter Thetis, conclud-
ing an eight weeks tour to the west
ward, including journey to Bris-
toll bay. Two grand juries were con-
vened, one at Unalaska and the
other at Nushagak, Bristol bay.
Most of the work done by the court
was in hearing criminal cases.
Nineteen convictions were had, in
Guiding that of a Japanese, who was
sentenced to life Imprisonment for
the murder of fellow countryman.
Another Japanese was sentenced to
ten years Imprisonment for man
slaughter, and four were found guilty
of sealing in American waters. A
negro was sentenced to six years for
arson and six persons we're adjudged
insane.
Instituted Last Year.
The floating court which was insti-
tuted last year, makes one trip a
year to the remote points in South
western Alaska, clearing up the legal
business that has accumulated dur
ing the year. Last year the gOveren-
men saved $4,000 by sending the
court on the tour, and this year a
much larger amount was saved. In
addition to the saving of the govern
ment in mileage fees for witnesses
this mode of administering justice
has proved of great benefit to prose
cutting witnesses and other lit1gants
who otherwise would lose many
weeks making the long journey to

Colorado River Buries Itself.

San Bernardino, CAL, Sept. s.
That the Colorado river has buried
itself in an underground channel two
miles south of Yuma was the state
ment of William Cranston, a mining
man, who arrived here last night
from that point. Cranston said that
the mouth of the channel had not
been discovered and it was feared
by residents of that section that the
water was finding it's way into the
Salton sea.
