SUCCESS OF IRISH HOME
RULE GROWING Brighter

The Irish question in Parliament,
after having passed the ordeal Of two
readings, and the Irish question in
Ulster, where many of the most emf
nent Tories are trying to see how near
they can come to melting sedition
without falling into the clutches of
the law, have both of them observed
the real Irish question. After all, leg
islation can help county, but legisla-
tion cannot make it. The most serious
trouble with Ireland has been internal,
as evidenced by the decline of the pop
ulation. For two-thirds of a century
the number of inhabitants has been
decreasing. So long as this state Of
things continues, home rule was Z
minor matter, for a country cannot
continue to lose people without show
ing itself to be in a serious state.
However, the era of falling popula-
tion appears to be at last at an end.
The census reports show that the rate
of decrease was but 1.2 per cent in the
past decade, as against So per cent in
the decade Immediately before and
9.0S in the ten-year period before that.
1t is probable therefore, that the next
decade will sow that for the first time
in seventy years the population is ON
the increase. Once the population of
Ireland was equal to that of Scotland
and it is possible, if the supposed rate
of increase is maintained, that in the
year 1921 the population of Scotland
will again be equaled or surpassed by
that of Ireland.
In order to judge how serious the
falling off in ireland has been, it is
necessary to compare its figures with
those of the other parts of the United
Kingdom. In 1921 Ireland had 6,S0l,-
s27 people, England 12,000,236 and
Scotland 2,091,5 For a time the
population of Ireland steadily in
creased, and then came the great tide
of emigration to America. Since that
time there has been a constant de-
crease of the population. In the census
which was taken last year the figures
for Ireland were 4,3S1,951 and for
Scotland 4,759, ,446, while England had
a population of 26,075,269. This, re-
dueed to percentages, means that
while England was gaining more than
200 per cent and Scotland more than
125 per cent, Ireland was losing more
than 10 per cent.
FROM an irish stdnupoint, these
figures have been of the most alarm
ing nature, and it is great relief to
the friends of ireland to learn that
the outgo has been checked and that
the Emerald isle is in a way to a
gain in population. The three factors
in the increase are the death rate,
which has fallen, the birth rate, which
has risen, and the emigration, which
has nearly ceased. With rising pop
ulation and home rule bill on the
way, the future looks bright for Ire
land Boston Advertiser.

JOHN 6. taylor MAKES
FINE GIFT TO UNIVERSITY

Considerable attention has been at
tracted to the livestock department of
the University of Nevada since the
announcement in the Gazette last ev-
ening of the gift by John G. Taylor
of standary bred trotting colt.
1t is one of the ambitions of Pro
fesor True who looks after this work
in the university, to have at the uni
versity a stud of the best individuals
of the leading breeds of horses. These
horses are to be used not only in class
work with students but to be sent for
service to the various parts of the
state where there is need and demand
and thus serve the triple end of dem
onstrating in class work, upbuilding
the stock of the state and paying their
way.
In making this gift Mr.. Taylor in
following the fine example set by Mr..
j. II. Caster, who has furnished the
Hereford herd, j. H. Mackenzie, of
San Francisco, who has presented a
Guernsey bull and other California
breeders; III. p. Eackle, of Woodland,
who has contributed Duroc Jersey
swine, and c.. A. Kimble and Mr. Bas-
sett, of Hanford, who have given
Rambouillet sheep and Poland China
hogs.
1t is source of qualification 20 the
department of agriculture in the uni
versity that men like Mr.. Taylor reel
like supporting its work in this very
helpful and practical way.-Gazette

IDAHO SETTLERS FINALLY
ACQUIRE TITLE TO LAND

After living on land in the forest
reserves of northern Idaho for ten
years, unable to get title, 500 settlers
are to be given opportunity to own
their lands, which comprise $4,000
acres.
During the decade the settlers, by
reason of their not holding title, have
been unable to raise taxes for any pur-
pose, and schools have ben out of the
question.
The situation has just cleared, how
ever, on the receipt of information
from Washington, ID. c., to the effect
that Darwin A. Utter surveyor oener-
al, has been given instructions to sur
vey the land. Two survey parties are
now in the field engaged in the work
that will eliminate in the settlers get
ting clear title.
The situation is one that has devel-
oped many unusual features. Princi-
pal among these is the spirit in which
the small army of homemakers bent
to task in which they had no assur-
ance that their labors would enrich
themselves.
Settling on government land they
built their homes and raised their
crops. Tn nearly every instance the
tilling of the soil had to be proceeded
by the no mean task of clearing The
land of the giant trees. They made
both ends meet, first by the sale of
the timber; later by planting crops
between the stumps. Some have lear
ed the stumps. and when the survey
is completed and title given, their ten
years of labor and uncertainty will be
amply rewarded.

tute the first piece of land to be sur
veyed The land lies near the head
waters of the st. Joe and Clearwater
rivers, in the Coeur 'Alene and Clear

FABLE OF THE OK
APPLIED LOCALLY

Once there was an Ok. He was a
fine, hefty Ok. He could pull big
load. He never baked, but always
liked to go straight ahead.
But the Ok had enemies.
There was the Flea and his whole
big family "We don t care whether
this Ok travels or not, said the Flea
and his Folks. tAll we want is some
of his Blood Whereupon tine Fleas
eternally pesiered the Ok end gave
him That Tired Feeling.
Then there was the Tom Cat and
his brothers-the Doubtnghn Thorn
aces. "We don t know whether this
Ok is going the right way or not, =
said the Thomases. 'Anyhow, wen
scratch his back for him - Whereup-
on the Felines jumped on the back of
the Ok and scratched him FOR fair,
which made the Ok exceedingly sor-
rowful.
Then there was the Fiste Pup and
his Fellow Fistes-a whole litter of
Fistes. "We don't care how slow the
Ok goes, said the Fistes; "the slow
er the merrier for us. All we want is
to lag behind him and bite his Tail. -
Whereupon the Fistes snapped con-
tinually at the Tail of the Ok. which
gave the Ok mighty mournfulness.
Finally the Ok, pestered constantly
with the Fleas and the Felines and the
Fistes, got to looking sickly He
stopped and lay down on his job, and
there was no more going forward for
him.
Key to the Situation: The town is
the Ok. The Fleas and the Felines
and the Fistes are those citizens who
criticise every progressive movement
and do everything they can in their
petty ways to make the Ok quit pull
ing in the right direction.
Moral: Don't be Flea or a
Feline or a Fiste. Whenever ANYTHING
is undertaken that bids fair to help
the town and country, don't hang
back and go to knocking. Winnemuc-
ca has a Chamber of Commerce, but
it is not receiving the support it is en-
titled to ON account of old sores among
the business men. A railroad is being
built to connect Winnemucca with a
large territory to the north. Some
business men say it will hurt the town,
because we will lose the wagon trade.
Progress has never been known to
hurt a town in the long run. WHAT it
will lose in one way by railroad will
be made up ten-fold in other diree-
tions.

maine ELECTION
Brings JOY TO ALL

1t is seldom that the returns from
an election are satisfactory to the
losers, as well as the winners. But
this seems to be the case over the
news from Maine.
At Beverly President Taft was SO
greatly pleased with the Republican
victory in Maine that he forgot about
his lame ankle and went out to play
golf. He was especially cheerful when
he learned that the Maine legislature
will be Republican on joint ballot, as
suring his party another vote in the
United States senate
Although the president had no state
ment to make about the Maine result,
his friends were not so reluctant. Ac-
cording to their view the result will
serve to keep in line many Republi-
cans who were wavering toward the
Progressives. 1t will be an example,
they say, to the doubtful one of what
can be accomplished where a solid
front is presented to the Democrats.
