His friends everywhere, and they
are to be found in all sections of the

The Irish Standard, for twenty-sev-
en- years so ably conducted by Edward
o'Brien and John D. O'Brien at Min
neapolls, has passed into other hands,
the two O'Briens retiring and James
j. Regan and Goo. D. Flynn taking
possession. The OBriens will be
greatly missed from the newspaper
field by the older members of tae
state press who have learned to know
and esteem them for their many good
qualities.-Red Wing, Mimi, Free

The Irish Standard Of Minneapolis,
| one of the brightest and best edited
weekly papers published in the North
west, changed hands recently, Edward
and John D. O'Brien retiring after
continuous service as editor and bust
ness manager respectively for 81 years,
Flynn assuming ownership and man
agement. That the high character and
excellence of the Standard will be
maintained by the new management is
a matter Of certainty as both Mr.. Re-
gan and Mr.. Flynn are men of we'll
known ability and integrity. The Tor

! We are glad to notice decided*im-
provement in our contemporary '"Thte
Irish Standard" of Minneapolis since
the new owners took control. National
President James j. Regain of the, A.
.. H., and George D. Flynn. Grand
Knight Of Hennepin Council. X. Of G..
recently purchased the paper from
! O'Brien Bros. The paper shows ul
better geographically already and we
notice a new strong national tone to
the Standard, something that is to be
expected from a newspaper With which
our National President is identified
We, expect the Irish Standard under
the new management to be tolerant OF
the views Of all IristNnen, as such {:
newspaper should be, while taking 8
strong and uncompromising stand or
the principles of Irish Nationalism
If Mr.. Regain directs the policy of the
paper we know this will be it's atti-
tude. We congratulate the new own.
ers of the Standard on the decided
improvement already shown. In the
great Northwest there is surely ample
room for such an organ Of Irish IAN
erican Catholic thought. -. Indiana
