Tourists In ireland.

The world is always willing to give
every renaissance a chance, and we
have ours now. Are we going to take
It? This matter Of tourist organiza-
ton may seem, at first sight, to be a
small one. But our attitude towards
1t will be regarded, and rightly regard.
ed as a sign of our whole attitude to-
wards the things that the modern
world Of business considers most i'm.
por.ant II we take no pains at all
to preserve and garner the golden
harvest which is open to us In the
tourist traffic, we shall be set down
as hopelessly Incompetent in prac-
teal affairs. II our visitors are bored
or cheated, II they are allowed to 60
away in ignorance Of the best views,
the finest scenery, II they do not find
the facilities that they have a right
to expect, the damning rumor will
spread abroad that Ireland is pretty,
Of course, but so dirty and uncomfort-
able" Not only will our tourist stream
dry up, but every Irish product, from
lace to butter, will have to fight
against that vague, intangible preju-
dice against Irish goods and Irish me-
thods as being dirty and unbusiness-
like.-Weekly Irish Times.

Mrs, Grundy,

What will Mrs. Grundy say?" This
query occurs in an old play called
Speed the Plough" The author Of 1t
was one Thomas Morton, a forgotten
playwright. First acted in 179S-the
year of the Battle of the Nile, and the
Irish Rebellion-this play had then
run" Of forty-one nights and sub
sequently 1t was much revived. A
farmers wife in the play, Mrs. Ash
field by name, insistently refers to her
mer, whom she calls Mrs. Grundy.
This second woman does not appear
on the stage. 1t is the ruling passion
with Mrs. Ashfield to have everything
superior to what Mrs. Grundy may
possess. In the keenness Of feminine
rivalry Mrs. Ashfield is controlled in
all her investments In personal ap-
parel, when selecting her new gown,
her bonnet, her jewelry, in all she
does, indeed, by the determination to
spite" her rival as expressed in the
exclamation, What will Mrs. Grundy
say?" From Morton's Speed the
Plough" came to us the invisible yet
ubiquitous Mrs. Grundy. BY a curl
Gus transfer Of symbolism, however,
Mrs. Grundy passed with time into
a concrete and personal equivalent for
the public opinion which supports the
proprieties, the responsibilities.

Wealth In Lone-submerged Logs.

Probably the most peculiar lumber
ing operations in the world are being
carried on in the Bay OF Quinte, on
the northern shore Of Lake Ontario,
forty miles from Oswego, N. Y, where
powerful engines are hosting valuable
oak and walnut logs from the bottom
OF the bay. Some of them are fifty
feet long and sound as the day they
were felled, though many OF these
logs have been submerged for twenty.
five years. Long ago the lake was sur.
rounded by magnificent forests Of oak,
pine and black walnut, and when the
logs were felled and run into the lake
for shipment. great numbers of the
heaviest sank through their own
weight or because they were covered
with snow. Divers recently ascer-
tanned that the bottom of the bay was
full of logs. and barges equipped with
engines and graphing hooks are now
hosting them for commercial pur-
poses. Hundreds of dollars worth are
raised daily.

PROTEST OF NEW ZEALAND
Land Of Radical Legislation objects
Because It's Premier Has 40
cepted Baronetcy.

We have, as a nation, been inclined
to look on the New Zealanders as q
queer lot. But at last, though we
have hardly been able to understand
their government of strongly socialis-
tic tendencies, we are able to under
stand one protest they are raising.
Joseph Ward is the premier of the
country. When Dick Seldom was rum
ming a pub" and working In the
mines In the north island, and Hall
Jones was a carpenter, Joe Ward-if
our memory does not fail us-was
working as telegraph operator some
where around Christ church or Dune
din.
Then came that revolution, which
followed the great maritime strike al
most twenty years ago, with the re-
suit that the old Tory party Of land
monopolists was thrown out bodily,
and the butcher, baker and candle
stick maker moved into the old rattle
trap frame parliament building at
Wellington to run the country. With
plain, burly old Dick Seldom and old
Scotch farmer John Mckenzie at the
head Of the machinery, New Zealand
started in on the most radical legis-
lation that the world has seen for a
long time. 1t was we'll suited to New
Zealand and New Zealand was we'll
suited to 1t and though there have
been great failures at certain times
and points, the sum total has been
good
In the meantime the character Of
the New Zealand people has changed.
People who, when they were landless
and homeless. were radical enough,
are out-and-out Conservatives now
and are ready to denounce any rad
ical legislation that will affect their
acres or holdings. Likewise have the
butcher, baker and candlestick maker
changed. Dick Seldom died true to
his start-a rough miner-but Ward
soon blossomed out as Joseph Ward,
and then. four years ago. he was
knighted. Sir Joseph and Lady Ward
did not, however, sit well with the
New Zealanders. At the recent colo
NAL conference Sir Joseph accepted a
baronetcy. This was Just beyond the
limit for democratic New Zealand for
now the title "Sir" became heredi.
tary. New Zealand has kicked out q
hereditary land monopoly and now 1t
is up in arms against a hereditary
aristocracy. According to the dis
patches Sir Joseph's political sun is
sinking. New Zealand prefers to &C
cept Gladstone and Seldom, who re-
fused such honors, as her examples.
