CORN KEEPS LAND RICH,

Live stock on a farm as a result
of corn growing helps keep up the
fertility of the land. The introduce
ing of live stock necessitates the
growth of pastures and some mead
wv If the leguminous crops are
used in these fields they add ma
terially to the fertility of the land.
The stable manure. produced also
helps to keep up the fertility. 1t
has the further advantage of ship
ping very little fertility from the
land in the form of live stock, as
compared with what is taken away
in the form of grain. (.

UNFORTUNATE LETTER "E,"

An exchange says sc" is the most
unfortunate letter in the English al
phabet because it is never in cash
always in debt and never out of
danger. 1t forgets that the afore-
said letter is never in war but al
ways in peace. 1t is the beginning
of existence, the commencement of
ease, and the end of trouble. With
out it there would be no water, no
bread, no meat, no life, no gospel, no
Jesus, no father, no mother, home,
heaven-Or hell.

REPLY TO BISHOP BURT.

1t is strange that Methodist bishops
and Methodist missionaries cannot
meet in Methodist conferences to
transact business in the interest of
the Methodist church without making
unprovoked attacks on the Catholic
Church. 1t will be remembered that
in Minneapolis last May they made
such unwarrantable attacks on the
Catholic Church that Archbishop Ire
land considered it his duty to expose
their falsehoods. This he did so con-
clusively that they made no attempt
to substantiate their lying accusations.
They had evidently forgotten that the
Archbishop of St. Paul was one Of the
ablest controversialists in America
and that he lived within ten miles of
the Auditorium where they We're as
sembled and read the daily papers
regularly. u 'HH
In Toledo Ohio, another conference
of Methodist bishops was recently
held and as in Minneapolis. instead of
attending to their own business. they

committee published it's findings in

branded the spurious oath as a "blas-

said: I'VE declare further, that the

he owned the Menace edited by Walk

What will Catholics who are readers
of the Appeal think of Wayland when
they learn that he was the owner of
the Menace? What they should do is
to obey the Church which he slandered
and cut loose from Socialism for the
rest of their lives.

OUR TWENTY-EIeHrH VOLUME.

The Irish Standard has entered on
the twenty eighth year of its puplica-
ton, having been established in No
vember, 1885. Many of our first read
ers are still on our list, but many more
have passed to eternity, some very
near and dear to US. Many changes
have taken place in the world since
the first number was issued in 1885,
but this paper has not changed an
iota in its principles during the Pc
riod of its existence. 1t is now, as at
the beginning the advocate Of doc
trines always dear to the Irish heart.
The Irish Standard is the first dis
tinctively Irish paper published in the
Northwest 1t used to be said that it
would not live long in this latitude for
want Of support-that there were not
lrishmen and their sons in sufficient
numbers to warrant its continuance
that they were not a reading people
and that we should drop its Irish
name to extend it's circulation among
men of other races. We kept on in
the even tenor of our way ana re-
celved generous support from Irish
American citizens in all the cities and
towns from the Mississippi river to
Puget Sound and the Willamette.
When Catholicity was assailed we
defended it.; when Irish nationality
was attacked we vindicated it: and in
years gone by we had occasion to do
so frequently.
The publishers of this paper did not
start 1t solely to make money: thew
had aspirations of higher nature.
and though they had hard sailing at
the outset they weathered the storm
and finally reached the haven of
smooth waters. While some OF orr
contemporaries were wrecked in their
youth and sank to rise no more, the
Irish Standard kept afloat and has
reached its present age in a safe and
sound financial condition. 1t is it's
aim a9d purpose to do the best 1t can
in the cause of faith and nationality
in the future as in the past. IF we
please our patrons in our effort to give
them an up-to-date newspaper we
shall be highly 9ratihed. That is the
aim and ambition Of the publishers.

When Tom Mast, the cartoonlst of
Harper's Weekly, was in the flesh, he
ridiculed Papal Infallibility by placing
the Pope on the limb of tree with
a saw in his hand, chopping off the
limb on which he sat. and underneath
were the words: II cannot fall to
the ground for am infallible." Mast
was bigot, but his son, Condo Mast
of New York, and his nephew, Charles
A. Mast, of Denver, are today con-
verts to the Catholic Church. So it
goes.

bad as he is represented. We have
always been Of the impression that
obrien has not been treated properly
by Redmond, Dillon, Devlin and
oConnor. but as an Irishman who
risked life and liberty for his native
land 1t is not patriotic for him to he
creating dissension among his coun-
trymen at this late day. He should
have retired from public life. The
Healys, less patriotic, will stick to Of

Irish Forests.

In the days of the Flanna and in fact
until the coming of the Elizabethians,
Ireland had spacious woodlands and
forests. The country was SO covered
with timber in those days that one
qualification of the Fianna was for a
warrior to be able to leap over a
branch higher than his head and stoop
under one lower than his knee without
losing speed in his flight. In short,
so he would be qualified to play the
part Of a soldier in wooded country.
However. the profit that would be got
ten out Of staunch Irish timber was too
great a temptation for the settlers, and
in a few centuries the forests of the
island were stripped of their glory.
1t is encouraging to see that the de-
scendants of the settlers are taking
steps to introduce an Arbor Day in Ire
land and encourage tree planting
among the cottiers and farmers. The
Irish Forestry society in it's report
states that over 1000 acres have been
acquired by the department of agricul-
ture for the purpose. The society for
years-from 1904 up to the present
time-has been urging the government
to give Ireland the benefit of the cap
ital and revenue derived from Crown
and Quit Rents charged on Irish lands.
At present credit is given for only
$4,000. whereas formerly it was $685.
600 annually. It is said the reduction
is due to the process Of redeeming
rents which have taken place in conse-
quence of land purchase. Income Il de-
rived from the capital So acquired. but
is not used for Irish purposes, but is
turned into Scotch or English channels.
The plain people of Ireland do not seem
to be awake to the Importance Of for
ests or their effect upon the climate
and rainfall, the lack of which know
ledge is a criticism that might be
offered against system of education
known as the National schools.

INFAMOUS PUBLICATIONS

The Live Issue Is authority for the
statement that J. A. Wayland, owner
OF the Appeal to Reason, who COM
mitted suicide the other day at Cir
ard, Kan, was also the owner of the
Menace. the vilest publication in Am

has conclusive evidence in it's possess
sion that Wayland owned both papers
and that they We're published for the
same purpose, namely, to spread the
gospel of Socialism throughout the
land. AS the Catholic Church ia n
foe to the Socialistic doctrine advocat-
ed by the Appeal to Reason, the Mem
ace made 1t a special business to de-
fame and vilify the Church, not only
in Its own Shiny columns but in PAM
phiets and books issued from its press
at Aurora. Mo. During the recent
campaign, millions Of copies of abom-

THE ORANGEMEN
Of Canada Celebrate Anniversary Of
Gunrowder Plot.

In it's issue of the 9th inst the
Northwest Review of winnipeg says
editorially:
On Tuesday evening the Orangemen
of the city celebrated in fitting style
the anniversary of the gunpowder plot
and prided themselves upon their des-
cent from patriots who circumvented
the designs of few misguided an
usual on such occasions this boastful
battalion of bigotry confiscated and
appropriated every title Of loyalty
which has not been nailed down and
clinched. They are the only simon
pure article branded which can ever
and always be relied upon to sustain
the tottering throne of Britain and,
as might be expected of course, the
merest nod, imperceptible to common
mortals, is sufficient warrant for in
slant action in defense of King George
and his ministers. Theirs is no half
hearted loyalty. Is devotion to the
crown not the adamantine basis upon
which the noble organization is erect.
ed? And individual members adj
mitted within the chosen circle are
tried and trusty-most Of them have
even passed resolutions reaHirm-
ing their allegiance on many a hard
fought field.
This is all very interesting to the
skeptical onlooker. He understands
of course that effervescent loyalty
must have an outlet and consequently
does not object to such performances
once or twice a year. It is necessary
for the safety of the real true blue
members, and even the community
benefits indirectly by the relief af-
forded to the pent-up energy Of over
heated individuals. But of one thing
he is assured; the members of the
Orange Association are not, as they
very often claim, descendants of the
Emerald Isle. There is not a drop
of Celtic blood in their makeup. If
there was but the faintest suspicion
of Irish temperament to be found
within their ranks the ludicrous as

At a recent conference Of Metho-
dists in Toledo, O., Bishop Burt made
an uncalled-for attack upon the Cath
Ole Church. The Methodist laymen
are not as bigoted as the bishops and
clergy of their church and do not an
prove Of such attacks. Instead of at
lacking the Catholic Church, the
Methodist bishops should try to keep
their own church from DISSATISFACTION.
The church founded by John Wesley
about $50 years ago is now divided
into seventeen separate branches
Wesley was decent Englishman. and
that's about all that can be said of
him. When Methodism was in its in.
fancy, Wesley attacked the Catholic
Church in the British Islands, then
suffering persecution for conscience
sake. He was silenced by the elo-
quent DR.. Arthur O'Leary who made
the United Kingdom shake with
laughter at his wit and humor.

throw them into such commissions that
even King Carson would desert.
Evidently the worshippers at the
shrine Of "The Pious, Glorious and
Immortal Memory" Of King William
III, Prince of Orange, feel that devo-
ton to the crown can best be fostered
by providing the Brotherhood with
arms and ammunition with which to
shoot down British soldiers. But in
their case nothing seems to succeed
like failure.
