A, j. MILLS

Reiterating his oft-repeated
statements that the waywardness
of the young people of today is
due to the lack of proper train
ing at home, Commissioner A. U.
Mills spoke before the vesper
service meeting at Pilgrim Con-
gregational church with A. P.
Loomis, his chief of police, last
evening.
Many wives of the best citi-
zens dress to attract attention and
comment on the street cars, and
with such examples before them
what can you expect of their
daughters, said Mills. He de-
clared the policeman should not
be considered an enemy to be
Stunned, and a respect for law
should be bred into the boy and

DUBLIN, ireland, March IL
This is the greatest and most
hopeful st. Patrick's day that any
Irishman in Dublin, Killarney, Ia
coma or anywhere else ever saw.
I've just ridden across the hills
of County Wicklow to Dolgany to
talk about it to an Irishman who
lives in a little white house there.
His name is William Redmond
and he has fought in the English
parliament for 80 years, for home
rule. He has also visited Amer
lea eight times and has collected
vast sums of money there to use
in this great struggle.
1t was he that told me what a
fine St. Patrick's day this was go
ing to be.
"And everybody who Knows Ire
land, knows what l say is true"
he said. Bending over and smil-
ing, he dug little knot of sham
rock out of the lawn.
even the shamrock knows it.,
this Irish spring morning! Look
how strong and long stemmed it
is and how much there is of it!
All, the shamrock crop is fine this
year,"
"And all this great hopeful
ness is about home rule in Ire
land" he added.
Home rule and your Panama
canal may start together. Home
rule will probably be in effect by
May, 1914. The only thing that
can prevent it will be the defeat
of the present government, but
I see no chance for that. The
house of lords may veto it, but,
after the third veto the bill goes
to the king, who must sign it,
and then it becomes law"
st. Patrick's day ought to be a
great day for the Irish in Amer
lea, too. This home rule victory
is largely theirs.

WASHINGTON, ID. O.,
March 17.-''Mister Presi-
dent, oh, Mister President"
a small, shrill voice shouted
as President Wilson descend
ed the steps of the White
House, walking to his Office.
II want to shake hands with
you," the voice reiterated.
The president stopped,
looked and saw a diminutive
young woman struggling to
pass a big policeman. Mo-
tioning the officer aside, the
executive advanced toward
her. She tossed a huge muff
toward the policeman, say
ing: 'iHold my muff; the
president might be afraid 1
had a gun in it. 1 am only
a New Jersey school teacher,
but 1 just had to shake hands
with YOU"
The president appeared
pleased with her enthusiasm
and shook hands and chatted
with her for several min
utes.

the Irish in America for all they
have done for U.S." continued Red
mond.
81 feel sure that IL they had
not helped us, as they have, by
their sympathy and their money,
the position of Ireland would be
very different today. We can new
er sufficiently thank our Ameri-
can friends.
When the Irish parliament Is
opened we hope many people will
come from the states to see what
they have done SO much to
achieve"
How will home rule help the
common, everyday man of Ire
land?" l asked.
How does liberty help any
man? Liberty will do for ireland
and its citizens what IL has done
for every free country in the
world. Home rule, of course, will
take time to show its results but
we feel sure than an Irish parlia-
ment will justify itself in very
short time.
There Is no nation on the
face of the earth today that has
brighter prospects than ireland.
The world, during the past hun
dred years, has looked on while
Ireland fought for her own
rights and the rights of human
ity. The battle appears to be
nearly won, so far as Ireland s
freedom is concerned. The land
lords are being dispersed. Today,
Of the 100000 population of
Ireland, 100000 men own their

80 its time for folks to stop
feeling bad about oppressed Ire
land!
1.-The future is very bright.
Wait-Pll write you a message
to America that will tell the
whole story"
He sat down at his desk and
| looked through the study win
dow, over miles of green County
Wicklow hills, while he wrote
this:
This struggle, which has last
ed so long and which we hope, is
near settlement, has seen great
changes for the better, already in
Ireland. For one thing, the land
in Ireland, once the source of so
much trouble and misery, is now
being firstsettled, the landlords
are being bought out and the
people are becoming the owners
of the soil. Then, we have now
full local government and we
have good laws for the laborers
and better chances of education.
Ireland has seen her worst days!
Things are improving rapidly
and We need now only national
government to make Ireland a
happy and prosperous country.
"This st. Patrick's day will be
the most hopeful Ireland has
ever seen and the hearts of the
people here go out to Parnell
and the other great leaders OF
the past who did SO much in the
udrk udyS. Also, as L tell you,
once again We think with great
gratitude of our friends and kins-
men in America and of the
men in America and of the
l American people as a whole who
have been so good and helpful to
US always.
"A great st. Patrick's day II
is. It's too bad st. Patrick him.

roasted to death. J. C. Puestow, a
travelling salesman, sustained burns
which make his recovery doubtful.
Mrs. Puestow had gone to a small
closet under the stairs, adjoining the
kitchen, to light the gasoline fire to
prepare supper. The stove exploded
and fire cut off her exit Her five
children escaped.
Maddened by his wife's cries, Pues-
tow broke from the restraining hold
of his neighbors, and after making un-
successful attempts to run through
the flames to save her, began chop
ping through the kitchen partition.
