ACH year as ST. Patrick's day ar
rives public attention is drawn
to the green nag Of Erin and its
harp of gold. The popularity OF
this national emblem is so COM
plete that the design OF the Emerald Isle
has gained world renown. Not only ma
tives of the ''auld Sod" but people OF
other nations show an indisputable fond
ness for this flag. 1t is not because the
banner of green Is representative of
power or wealth that 1t has been able OF
blaze it's own way into prominence, but
the secret of the admiration Of the Irish
flag lies in the fact that it symbolizes so
exactly the national characteristics OF its
people.
The color suggests the constant verdure
OF the island, the outdoor habits OF the
rural folk and the sunshine Of life which
Is reflected in each Irish heart. Times
may be hard and dark clouds of poverty
lower, but the Irish always see the sill
yer Innings which foretefl better days.
The people talk, laugh and act in music,
each singing his song from the cradle to
the grave. Some measures are glad and
some are sad, but hope is never aban-
dOned.
In choosing the harp as their national
emblem the sons Of Erin wove the sym
boil Of their very being into each Irish
flag. The harp represents their early re-

While things are run on as economic
a basis as possible, the number cared for
and the money spent is far greater tban
the average person realizes. 1t is very
creditable to those in charge, however,
that the handling Of this difficult situa-
ton has reached such a high stage of
development. 1t is the aim in Washing
ton to relieve those in distress and to
give aid where 1t is needed without en-
couraging imposition and the spread of
pauperism. With the perfection Of this
system and the cooperation Of those
who have proved themselves capable of
carrying on this work in the. past it is
only question of time when the city
will have q system of caring for its un-
fortunates that will reflect credit on all
concerned.

best of his own compositions. The Harp

had many trials, but 1T still remains Ire
lands national air. Each year the an
cient harp of thirty strings which be-
longed to Brian Boru. an old warrior of
1c14, is priced more highly by those who
care for 1t in Trinity College, Dublin.
Few persons realize when looking at
IreIand's flag that the same musical en-
blem was suggested as part of our ma
tional seal. On the Fourth of July, when
the Declaration of Independence an
nounced that the thirteen American
colonies had formed themselves into a
new nation, Congress saw the necessity
for a national seal. On that day John
Hancock appointed DR.. Franklin, John
Adams and Thomas Jefferson as a COM
mittee to prepare suitable design for
the seal of the new nation. About
month later Thomas Jefferson submitted
a design for each side Of the seal. The
plan for one side displayed a shield sup
ported by the Goddess of Liberty, hold
ing a spear and cap, and by an American
rifieman. Above was the all-seeing eye
of Providence and below the motto e
Pluribus Unum." The shield, which was
the design of Du Simitiere. a West India
Frenchman, the friend of Adams and
Jefferson gave recognition to the various
nations which had peopled the new re-
public.

Their aim in all this work is to relieve
the government as much as possible and
to make some of the institutions at

question Of time until 1t will be erected,
for the care OF all charity patients. At
the various hospitals Of the city and
Congress Is obliged to support them by
contract. few years ago the appro-
priations were given out In lump sum
to these different hospitals. and in many
cases large part OF the money was
spent in improving the grounds and en-
larging the buildings that belonged to
individuals and not to the government.

ILLINOIS DIVORCES
State Has More Than Any Other
In the Union
10000 CASES IN 40 YEARS

riage and Divorce--More and Better
Laws Needed to Safeguard the
American Home.
More divorces are granted in Illinois
than in any other state in the union.
while the United States grants seven
times as many divorces as Europe.
according to the first report OF the IL
linois commission on marriage and
divorce, issued by Francis NJ. Moody.
its field secretary.
The report was prepared TO show
that more laws are needed to safe
guard the American home.
10000 Illinois Divorces.
Mr.. Moody's report sets forth that
from 1867 to 1906 Illinois granted 1907
900 divorces; $4,000 came from the
nine middle western states and the
total In the United States reached
Il 100000.
There are 100000 divorce or
phans" in the United States. In 1900
twenty European countries and
Australia, New Zealand and Canada.
with population OF 10000. 900, grant.
ed $4,000 divorces, while the United
States. with a population OF 10000
600, granted $4,000.
Granted by Default.
The report points out that one OF
the evils is that most divorces are
granted by default. The defendant
is represented as having left the
state. Attempts will be made to
frame measure which will cause a
thorough investigation OF petitions OF
this kind, so that divorces cannot be
obtained by fraud.
Criminal provisions are TO be pre-
pared to check abuses in divorce pro-
cedure and uniform marriage and
divorce laws are TO be urged as an
amendment to the constitution.
