IN TEXAS.

The Texas legislature assemblies to-
day for its regular session. To us,
who have come to regard Texas in its
comic-opera light. it seems strange
that the principal issue before his ses-
sion should be the question of state
wide prohibition. This, however, is
stated as a fact and the forecast is
made that the struggle will be the
f~iercest hat the Lone Star legislature
has ever known. There nave beer
some stirring battles in Texas. The
fight for Independence was a terrible
struggle, which has a place among the
great conflicts of the world. And now
Texas is going to do battle with the
Demon Rum. She has encountered a
powerful antagonist and the issue of
the contest Is not to be predicted. The
Demon Rum is something of a fighter
himself.

The Gaelic Language

tries at the fair. Afterwards they
went to different cities, creating a de-
mand for the beautiful Irish lace
which is still so popular. From the
time of the worlds fair in Chicago
there has been an increased interest
in the Gaelic language manifested
upon this continent.
The Gaelic language Is taught In a
number of the leading American uni
versities. At Harvard, Professor Rob
inson, one Of the recognized philolo-
gists of the world, conducts Gaelic
classes and is an enthusiastic Gaelic
scholar. A special course in Gaelic Is
provided in the University of Califor-
mia by Professor O'Hegerty, a native
Of Donegal, who was brought over
from ireland to take that position.
Professor O'Hcsorty also conducts
Gaelic classes in San Francisco. In
the catholic university of Washington.
ID. c., Gaelic is taught under the direc-
ton of DR.. Joseph r. Dunn, who not
only speaks fluently, but gives a
large amount of his time to the trans
lation of ancient Irish literature. DR..
Dunn also lectures at Yale Upon the
Gaelic language, and has now in press
a metrical translation OF the ancient
Gaelic saga, Tain DO Crialgne."
There is a Furnishing Gaelic So
ciety in the national capital which has
a number of corresponding members
in different states, The object is to
increase the knowledge and interest III
this ancient venacular. Its programs
consist Of lectures and translations
i~nterspcrscd with old Irish melodies.
Although only organized in 1907, this
society has been instrumental in call
ing national attention to the wealth
of literary achievement in the Gaelic
language which has been unknown to
most of the world.
In his work upon Gaelic literature.
Matthew Arnold deals extensively with
the pathological value of the Gaelic
which Is one of the two great divi-
sions of the Celtic language. The
other division, the Cymric, which Is
the ancient language of Wales, Is older
and more analytic than the Gaelic. but
both give the philologist many useful
hints and derivatives. In 1853, Pro-
lessor J. &. Zeuss. a distinguished
German philologist. published a
'Grammatlca Celtica." which may be
said to mark the beginning of general
study of the Celtic language and of
Gaelic in particular.
Many distinguished French, German
and English scientists are now en-
gagged upon the elucidation of the Gaze

eigth or ninth century. They begin
with no other help that the oldest

one Of the strongest proofs or the
| hold which the Irish nation Will eVer
have upon the hearts of its people Is
the affection with which they cling
TO the old Gaelic tongue with all OF
it's ancient traditions. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that English supremacy
made that language official upon the
Emerald Isle, there nave been few FAM
lilies who have not in their own circle
lapsed frequently into the use OF some
old Gaelic expressions. The NUMBER
of native Gaelic speakers IN ireland,
according to the last census. was 5so,-
600, or about one-seventh of the popu-
lation. Many of these never have
learned to speak English, and those
who have still use the older tongue
upon every possible occasion. 1t Is
estimated that there are now in Great
Britain and Ireland at least a million
people who claim Gaelic as their ma
tive language, and speak 1t In prefer
encc to any other. This includes the
Irish who have settled in England and
Scotland. as well as the native Scotch
Highlandcrs who also speak Gaelic.
Because an Irishman is Irish wher-
ever he goes, the interest in Cache is
not confined to the British Islands.
The love of the mother tongue has
gone with him in all his j~ourney1ngs,
and wherever there is an Irish colony
Of long standing there is apt to be at
least a few who are able to speak the
ancient Gaelic. In every large Amerl-
can city numbers of people will be
found who are continually striving to
preserve the language In all it's purity.
In the early seventies, some patriotic
Irish Americans began to devise
means for the study of this language
in America, and the interest has in
creased continuously. Largely through
the influence of Timothy Frederick
Halvey of Philadelphia, who is widely
known in Irish American circles as the
founder of Robert Emmet day (March
A, the first Gaelic schools were es-
tablished in New York. Chicago, Phila-
delphia and Buffalo. From these
schools have developed innumerable
classes, so that in every important city
it is easy for an interested student to
receive instruction in the Gaelic Ian
guage.
Mr.. Halvey worked in cooperation
with the Gaelic league. which has it's
headquarters in Dublin with branch
organizations in all parts of the world.
One of the league activities consisted
in sending a number of Gaelic-speak-
ing Irish lace makers to the United
States to demonstrate their work.
Mrs. Halvey, who was one of the
woman managers of the Worlds Fair
in Chicago in 1893, arranged for these
young Gaelic girls to make their lace

INDIANA |S
 ENGULFED IN
 AWFUL FLOOD
Waters Sweep State With
 Appalling Speed and Over Hundred Thousand
 Homes Are Demolished Loss of Life Staggering
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCH1

INDIANAPOLIS, March 25.-A state wide flood. appalling in it's intensity, terrifying in it's swiftness, claimed. ac cOrding to fragmentary reports, several hundred lives. made nearly two hund- red thousand homeless and caused a property damage of more than twenty million dollars in Indiana today. The rush of waters caught the state unpre- pared and the fight made to save life and property seemed futile.
 These figures were made up from reports received from towns and will lages and do not include the probably great loss in the country districts.
 No hope of relief for the stricken state is held out by the government weather bureau, rain and colder is the forecast for tonight and tomorrow. Besides the danger from higher water untold suffering to the homeless will come with the drop in temperature.
 Rescue work is being carried on by volunteers, police, firemen and state militia. In every place where there is a dry home it has been thrown open to flood refugees.
 The White River Ievee at Morris street went out tonight and water sub thousand to seven thousand to the homeless list here.
 Thousands of spectators were watch ing the river when with the road, hund- reds of tons of dirt crumbled under the pressure of great walls of murky black water which rushed through the open ings. People living in the vicinity rushed from their homes carrying what property they could quickly tie up in sheets, tableclothS and bedding
 All hope of saving part of the levee has been abandoned and all families are removed from that district. No loss of life is reported here but a num- Der of persons are reported missing
 The Washington street bridge which connects west Indianapolis with the city proper is shaky tonight and it is feared will be torn out. The majority of the street lights are shut off and water is blowing into cellars extin- gushing furnace fires while the merc- ury is dropping.
 With tens of thousands homeless, hundreds dead and a property loss of several million; Indiana is tonight eX- periencing the worst flood in history. The entire state is practically one huge sea and every brook, creek and river is taking it's toll of damage. Public service corporations over the entire state are helpless-railroads and trac- tion lines have cancelled nearly all the trains and many cities are without fire protection and lights. Dwellers along the streams devoted their labors today
