Did Ireland ever have a parliament

An Irish parliament, so called, exist

no representative character. Henry

| of the native Irish to a parliament in
| Dublin, but it was not until the reign
| of George III. that the Irish parlia-
| ment exercised any authority of its
| own. Ireland's opportunity came in
the course Of the American war Of
| independence. In 1882 Grattan sue
ceeded, with the aid Of Flood and Ma
lone, in securing the independence Of
the Irish parliament. At first no Irish
Catholic could sit as a member or
even vote for one. The right to vote
was at last conceded, but a bill en-
fitting Catholics to become members
was vetoed by the king, who also re-
fused to sanction the removal of many
other disabilities Irish discomfort led
to the rebellion of 1893. When this
had been suppressed Pitt induced the
Irish parliament to pass the act of
union which came in force 1901.

League To Meet at Gillette Alley
T. This Evening
ODEGARD FIVE IS FAVORITE

Bemidji bowling enthusiasts are
much interested in game which is
to be played this, evening when the
Clippers will meet the Orioles, in the
fourth game Of the city league series.
These two fives are yet undefeated
and the match this evening will pro-
badly have much to do in deciding the
city: champions. = y.
While. several of the best bowlers in
thescity comprise the Orioles, includ-
ing Barney Popp, perhaps the most
consistant roller Of Bemidji, the gen
eral opinion seems to favor the Clip
pers. The latter team includes Ed
Odegaard, Otto Erlander, Ralph Grow
er, Cleve King and E. Warner, all
cabable of rolling good scores. A vic
tory for the Clippers would not be sur
prising.
There are yet twelve games Of the
fifteen contest series to be played and
with each match the interest seems in
increase. Bowlers of the city have
their favorite fives and on the two
nights each week when a contest is
staged the alley is always crowded
The next game will be played Wednes-
day evening.

COLLINS DEFEATS
SENATOR GAYLORD.
Brainerd Paper Says Applause So Fa-.
y0red His Remarks That Debate Be-
Belonged to Him
PHILOSOPHY OF SOCIALISTS"
"Arguements Were In Many Instances
Unanswerable, At Least They Re-
manned Unanswered

Peter Collins, anti-Socialist, has met
and defeated another advocate of So
cialism in debate, this time his open
ent was w. r. Gaylord, aWisconsin
state senator from Milwaukee. They
met at Brainerd before a
crowded house, the announce
ment of the encounter having
attracted much attention.
The topic of discussion was ''The
Philosophy of Socialism," and Brain
erd paper says:
"The debate opened shortly before 8
o'clock and was continued for over
three hours. Mr.. Gaylord is pleas
ing and persuasive speaker, while Mr..
Collins is perhaps the more effect
i've, with his thorough knowledge of
Socialism and the record made by the
Socialists and his keen, incisive
thrusts at the party and it's leaders.
At first the applause was divided be-
tween the two speakers, but before the
close of the debate Mr.. Collins appear
ed to have everything pretty much
his own way. No decision had been
contemplated by either side, so there
were no judges, but if the applause Of
those present is any indication of the
force of the argument the laurels of
the evening belong to Mr.. Collins,
whose Arguments were in many in
stances unanswerable- least they
were unanswered
"Mr Collins lecture was given un-
der the auspices of the Knights Of
Columbus, and the Socialists who were
present and had the temerity to fire
a volley of questions at the lecturer
were so badly worsted in the argument
that followed that they were silenced
and wisely concluded to import a
speaker to defend their principles The
joint debate between Mr.. Collins and
Mr.. Gaylord was therefore arranged
and it was decided by committees re-
presenting both parties that the debate
would be simply "For and Against So
cialism."

this is a great clover country and

ducing business they'll make good
money at it, .
Both Mr.. Smith and Stuart are con-

CURRENCY BILL
TO SOON Be LAW
Two Houses of Congress Will Adjust
Difference Quickly-SenatO Owen
Explains New Measure
SENATE CHAIRMAN OUTLINES IT
Tells of Some OF The Benefits The Ad.
ministratiOn Expects VIII Follow
Putting it Into Effect

Washington, Dec. 22.-The currenc.
bill passed by the senate, 54 to 43
will be a law shortly if plans by con
gressional leaders for a speeding W
of the conference materialize. 1t was
understood that those certain to be
named on the conference committees
of the two houses have been meeting
quietly for the last six days.
Little difficulty is expected in p ,ss
ing the conference report through the
house, where the great majority o.
senate amendments will probably be
approved without roll call. The leg
islators are anxious to get away fol
the holidays.
The president will sign the meas
ure as soon as it reaches the White
House. He expressed himself as de-
lighted with the senate draft. 1t was
believed that he might issue a state
ment when he approves the measure
outlining his exact position and what
correct.
Senator Owen, who had charge OF
the bill in the upper house, describes
the measure as follows:
It provides plan for concentrating
the reserves of 25,COO banks into the
most gigantic association in the world
1t provides the mobilization OF
these bank reserves, thus keeping
them liquid and quickly available into
cash.
1t provides for the issuance of elias
tic currency through federal reserve
notes, which may be obtained on the
security of commercial bills of short
maturities.
An Open Discount Market.
1t establishes an open discount mar
ket, which America has never had;
and in this open discount market will
be found a place where commercial
bills and commercial paper can be
discounted at all times at low rates of
interest.
1t provides for safeguarding the 2
per cent bonds.
1t will stabilize the commercial,
financial and industrial conditions of
the United States
1t establishes foreign branch banks
to take care of our foreign commerce.
1t extends a strong helping hand
to the farmers and producers of the
country and will be very valuable to
business men as we'll as to the bank
ers themselves.
The system Is under the supervis-
ory control Of the government through
q federal reserve board with full pow
er to fix the interest rates, control
the elastic currency or federal re-
serve notes, examine the banks and
remove sfnesRs or directors of any
federal reserve bank.
The systsn will start with $7S,000,.
600 of capital and will in two years
have ersr @4oo.ese,eso Of reserve and
probably 93es, ,oe>, 900 Of government
funds distributed through from eight
- twelve banks adjusted to serve
csnvenisAtly and systematically every
section Of the county,.
