Rue Ouilbeur Raett.
From the London Globe.


The municipal councillors Of lie Mans
recently decided TO name one OF the
streets In that town after Wilbur Wright.
THIS decision appears to have been very
popular, but many Of the inhabitants. ac-
cording 10 French contemporary, are
experiencing great difficulties in regard to
the correct pronunciation of this I'M
mortal and terrible name" A few years
ago. when the Manceaux were familiar
with the exploits OF the famous aviator,
his name enjoyed a local currency that
resulted in reasonably accurate pronun-
ciation; but the name is now being hor-
ribly mangled, especially by the younger
generation, and .'Vilbure Wright" appears
to be about the nearest popular approach
10 the real thing. Our contemporary, by
the way. informs lis readers that "Ouil-
0eur Raett' is the correct rem lcring. We
are not sure whether ''Raett' Is right.

WINSTON CHURCHILL
ENVY Of COLLEAGUES
Held by His Heels, He Kisses
the Famous Stone of

Special Cablegram to The Star.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON. July 27.-When Winston
Churchill returns from his latest Irish
visit to his colleagues In the cabinet of
lawyers he will be the envy of them all.
He alone has kissed the Blarney stone. .
His friends in the southern Irish city
where as first lord he has been promising
dockyard and fleet activity and expendi-
ture to the men OF Cork and Queens
town-have fnoculated him with the real
gift.
He drove by motor car Tuesday. per-
sonally conducted by the mayor of Cork.
and encouraged by other genial local
public men, to the famous Blarney castle.
kissed the magic stone amid the cheers OF
the public, and was metamorphosed as
truly as Faust into a new being. Hence
forth MIR. Churchill is dangerous public
man. according to all the trad tons, for
the learned photographers state that he
who kisses the Barney stone is endowed
with the power TO barney" and TO
barney" they say, is to humbug with
wheediing talk SO as to gain a desired end.
or to have excep -ional facility land I'M
scrupulousness'' in the art of flattery and
compl. ment.
To kiss the Barney stone the pilgrim
ascends to the top of the ruins of Blarney
castle and, looking down from the para
pet of a tower. perceives a triangu. ar
stone. inscribed. fixed by irons in q posi-
ton SO many feet down that he must be
held by the heels and lowered till his face
reaches the kissing level. 1t is not an
easy trick, but Sir James Long held the
heels of the first lord and he DULY kissed
the famous relic. and after him his pri-
vate secretary, who writes the letters to
political correspondents.
In the words OF the popular ballad,
1.-The Groves of Barney this is the re-
suit:
There is a stone there
That whoever kisses,
@ he never misses
To grow eloquent.
Don't hope TO hinder him,
Or to bewilier him.
Sure he's u pilgrim
From the Blarney stone.
Samuel Lover has put the legend in
more seductive form:
Like a magnet, Its influence such Is
That attraction it gives all it touches.
Ii you kiss 1t. they say,
From that blessed day
You may kiss whom you please with your blarney.
The Barney stone legend is supposed to
date from the Irish wars Of Queen Eliza
beth, when the Lord of Barney, with
standing siege N his castle. built in l446,
humbugged her majesty's representative
N Ireland so effectively with his far
prom ses to surrender and plausible ex-
cuses that he became an object of jest.

ATTORNEY BARROW.

Bert Franlklin's admission of guilt
in the Mcnamara jury bribery has
centered interest in the action against
Attorney Darrow, also charged with
conspiracy to bride jurors.
Now that the bitterness between the
forces of capital and labor-and the
public Indignation at the terrible
crimes of the MeNamaras-are some
what abating-a spirit of fair play is
more in evidence. Most people will
hope that Attorney Darrow can dem
onstrate his innocence. For many
years he has been the ablest legal
champion of union labor. His bril-
liant attachments have won him the
respect Of his opponents and almost
the idoltary of those whom he served.
He has leen a good fighter.
1t would be a great disappointment
to find that his feet were Of clay-that
jury bribing methods have caused his
success. Union labor has had a suf-
fcient burden to bear with the un-
speakable McNamaras-and The Fo-
rum hopes Attorney Darrow's record
will be proven to have been clean.

A HOUSE CLEANING.

70 President Taft should start some
thing in the department of agricul-
.ture. The people of the country are
firing of the continued chickering's and
scandal in that very important de-
partment OF the federal government.
For years there has been a general
attack on DR.. Wiley of the pure food
department. During the past few
months is has been more bitter than
formerly. So far the doctor has come
out on top.
But II DR.. Wiley is to blame for all
the scandals and disturbances in the
department he should be thrown out
bodily. No man. no matter ho7 great,
should be retained if he is such a dis
turbing element. But the people of
the country nave a pretty fair idea
where the blame lies-and they do not
place it at DR.. Wiley's door.
The popclar opinion is that Secre-
faTy Wilson has outlived his use
fulness and lost control of the situa-
tios. Ambitious and INSCRIPTIONS
advisers have caused him to make
many mistakes.

FARMER AND A


Once upon a time" the farmers
looked with suspicion on any at
tempt by the press to urge better
roads. The autoists who advocated
special road taxes were regarded as
grafters. It's different now. In fact
the farmer is the most enthusiastic
advocate of good roads. The more he
rides in autos-the greater is his en-
thusiasm.
Motor cars are good road mission
aries. They have demonstrated that
money spent in Improvement of high
ways is not a needless waste. On the
contrary it has been shown that good
roads mean economy in ~transporta-
ton Of the products of the farms to the
markets-an Increased value to the
land, The former dullness Of the ru-
raj communities is relieved by better
MISUNDERSTANDING of the increased
facilities for social. educational and re-
ligious development.
Instead of holding back-the North
Dakota farmers are now the strongest
force in the movement to make the
iiekertail roads the best in the north
west.

cratic state committee has made
speeial preparations for his coming
and there is no doubt but that he will
again be heard by a large number of
people. ~. ...
There is no reason why his audience
slt1uld be confined to democrats-and
At will not be. Etr Bryan is eloquent
ana entertaining-evea if not always
convincing. He is a national charac-
ter4-and a big brainy man Former
audiences have been partially republi-
can-and his political opponents have
always given the speaker a respectful
hearing-and enjoyed his efforts.
It has frequently been: asserted that
Mr.. Bryan should have been a preach
errather than a politician. He has
been an earnest advocate of many
great ideas. Some of the things he
promulgated have since been proven
wrong. Others are now a part of the
national life-adopted by both his
supporters and opponents.

Napoleon Homestead: IT should be

OF the Following counties: Rolette,
Fierce, Benson. Eddy, Foster, Griggs,

Logan, Stutsman. Wells, E~ottineau.
McHenry, Sheridan, Burleigh, Kidder
and Emrnons. Just now the people Of
this district are interested In the se-
lection Of q representative member OF
congress. In making such a selec-
ton we should have in mind cHArac-
Ter, ability and citizenship.
For representative of this district.
The Homestead can think Of no man
In the district who in point
OF ability and integrity the Hon. OAR
Win r.. Streeter of Linton, Ernmons
county. He not only possesses the
ability to give the district a most
.cfeditable representation, but, if he
be induced to become a candidate
for the place, is the most logical per-
son we car think of for it. Mr..
Streeter has been a resident Of En-
mons county for more than a quarter
OF a century and has had more to do
with the upbuilding OF that county
than any other person. His ability
and general personal ~worthiness has
made him the repeated choice OF the
people of his home county for their
offices and of the people OF his Iegis-
lative district for representative in the
state legislature, where his ability as
a legislator has become known and
recognized throughout the state.
More than all this, Mr.. Streeter is al
clear, forceful and logical speaker, and
a veteran member of the G. A, r. we
are proud of him as a neighbor and a
resident OF the district.
We doubt not but what the woods
will be full of candidates for the 20.
sition of representative before the
dawn of the last day of grace in which
to file petitions for places on the bal
lot, but there will no doubt be petit
tons of some persons who have mere
ly a selfish interest toward elevating
themselves to that high once rather
than being guided by the impulses Of
people who would prefer to recognize |
