and south.
In point Of antiquity the real Irish
fla. is the spear and serpent" which
appears in the arms OF the O'Sulli-
vans. 1t is said to commemorate the
incident OF Gaodhal Glas the ances-
tor of Alillesius, who, tradition saws.
| was cured OF a snake bite by the rod
OF Moses. Next to that comes the
flag of Ffonl MacCumhailrs militia,
the golden sunburst on a. blue ground
and the weight OF opinion seems TO
favor this as the true national flag,
Blue. indeed, was always Ireland's
national color until 1898.
There are a number of other flags
! Which have figured il Irish history,
and all have their enthusiastic s,p-
rorters. One Of the most popular is
the three golden crowns on blue
ground. which figures now in the
arms Of the province of Munster. This
was accepted after the Norman inva-
sion in ll70 as the flag of ireland. tine
three Crowns typifying the Kingdoms
of Desmond, Ormond and Thomond
1T was retained until l547. when Hem
ry VIII abolished it and substituted
the harp.
Coming down to more recent times.
we find that Grattans Parliament did
not recognize green, although it did
accept the harp. Its flag was a gold
en- harp on blue ground.
A new flag was evolved at the time
OF the Union, apparently for the en-
press purpose of Incorporating it in
what is now known as the Union
Jack, but it does not seem to have
caught the popular fancy any more
than the Act OF Union. This was the
rcd satire on a white ground, which
was chrstened "St. Patrck's Cross"
Apparently it was Gifted" from the
arms of Trinity College, Dublin,
though how Trinity came by it is
equally mystery.
The tri-color of green. white and
orange-"Thc Orange and the Green,
with the stripe of peace between'-
is the recognized flag of Irish Nation-

During Tuesday weeks Home Rule
debate in the House of Commons. Mr.
William Moore, X. c.. acknowledged
that "he had smattering of Irish
though he did not believe any of his
ancestors or their "class" had ever
spoken it. II SO. Mr.. Moore's ances-
tors must have been much more ig-
norant than their neighbors few
centuries ago. In May. I'LL, one Rev,
J. Mcguire. Il clergyman of the Prot
cstant Episcopalian Church, wrote a
letter to friend from North An
trim; and in the course of that docu-
mcnt the reverend gentleman stated:

rey OF these forfeitures, particularly
In the County Of Antrim, where l met
many Of the inhabitants, especially of
the barcncs OF Glenarm, Dunluce and
klllconway, who could not speak the
English tongue and asking them in
Irish what religion they protested.
tkey answered they We're Presbyter-
ians, upon which / asked them fur
fi1er how they could understand their
minister preaching; to that they an
swered he always preached in Irish.
l had the curiosity to go to their
meeting on the Sunday rollowing,
where heard their minister, whose
name cannot remember, preach to
them in Irish. at which (though l
think he did not do it welD they en-
pressed great devotion. His audience,
as | understood, was composed of ma
tive Irish and Highlanders"
No doubt any Gael from the An
trim Glens-like Professor Eoin Mac
Neil. for instance VINO knows the
past history of the Northeast Cor

evidence that the Irish language was
familiar as their own faces to the
people who lived in Antrim and Down

THE PANAMA CANAL
An Act Of Congress Not Subject to
Arbitration.

AS for some OF the historical facts
leading UP to the Panama Canal situ-
alton: When the Clayton Dulwer
Treaty was signed Palmerston was
Premier of England. Taylor was
President of this Republic and Joh,
NJ Clayton was Secretary of State.
says the n Y. Press.
At that. time England had not ac-
guessed as fully in tl1ef Monroe Doc
trine as ten years later and Clayton
was not noticcably enthusiastic about
IT. - ~
At that time Nicaragua. was ain in
dependent republic. and England had
certain pretensions to IL sphere of
Influence in South America.
At that time the canal, as then prof.
ccted, was Il private enterprise to be
built on territory foreign to the;
United States.
When the Hay Pauncefote Treaty
replaced the Clayton Bulwer Treaty
the conditions precedent regarding
the method of building the canal and
the territory through which it was to
run were still existent.
But since that time we have built
the canal on United States territory.
with money provided from the Treas
ury of the United States. and without
the necessary consent. good WILL as
sistance or advice OF any other coun-
try.
AS for the further development Of
the Panama Canal situation: Those
Americans who are opposing the ac-
tio:l OF this Government regarding the
Panama Canal tolls have perfect
right to maintain that Congress never
ought to have enacted Legislation, set
ting aside. as they say. provisions of
the Hay-Pauncerote Treaty. They
have right to such opinion in spite
of the fact that nobody supposes that
this Government could be compelled
to continue an undesirable treaty ar
ter due and orderly procedure to re-
scind it.
But they cannot maintain With
equal reason that. il Congress does
not repeal the toll legislation, then its
act ought to be submitted to foreign
arbitration. This is no different from
saying that the Constitution of the
United States could be submitted to
arbitration.
Surely nobody, however strongly
opposed to canal tolls and however
warmly espousing Great Britains
cause in this matter, would maintain
that clause OF the Constitution
could be submitted to arbitration at
The Hague. And surely no President
could dream that it would be possible
for him to submit an act Of Congress
to international arbitration any. more
than he could submit to arbitratio,
at The Hague the question of wheth-
err the people of the United States
should be permitted to govern them
selves.
The question involved in the pro-
posed arbitration of the act OF Con-
gress embraces the sovereignty of the
people Of the United States. This is
a matter that might be determined
by foreign Powers at the point Of the
bayonet. It could never be determined
with the consent of this Nation.

For. like a strong and shining shield,

Will guard, Ne from the awful fate
Attending evil men;
And, safe in Heavens high estate,
Will only leave We then!

DATE FOR PICNIC
HAS BEEN SET
Will be Held on Thursday,
August 18th
Plan to Make it One of the
Biggest Events Ever Held
in the City.

Thursday, August 14th, is the
date set for the End annual picnic OF
the Pioneer Association of Washburn,
that date having been decided upon
at meeting of the association held
at the Commercial Club on Monday
of this week.
Committees were also appointed
and they will begin early to make
arrangements for one of the biggest
times that has ever been held in the
city. The picnic last season was a
decided success and by beginning
early this year it is planned to make
it much bigger affair. The day
will be sort of homecoming day for
former Washburnites and the plan as
outlined is to have all the old settlers
residing in the city write to their
friends urging them to come here to
take in the big picnic.
1t Will be a day devoted entirely
to having a good time and the Mayor
will be asked to issue a proclamation
asking all manufacturing establish
ments and business houses to close
during the day in order that the en-
ployees may enjoy the big time which
is being prepared for them.
The picnic will be held on the lake
shore east of the city on the same
grounds on which it was held year
ago. This is an ideal spot for pic
nic'of this kind for the place affords
fine place for land or water sports
of all kinds. The plan is to make it
an all day event. The picnic will be
held at noon hour and during the
afternoon there will be program
arranged for, including speaking,
singing and different sports and games
in which the odd Settlers" as well
as the young will participate.
During the evening it is planned
to have big dance where the old
and young, the former residents and
visitors can renew acquaintances.
Although this picnic is given by the
"old settlers" it is an event in which
all are invited to participate. A
general invitation is to be extended
to all former Washburnites and the
people of Ashland and Bayfield, and
other towns in this vicinity to join
with the Washburn people in having
one grand time.

Haa Vetoed the Bill

Claiming that there is no de-
mand for the law providing for
the semi-annual payment of
taxes, Gov. McGovern on Tues
day vetoed the bill which would
permit counties to adopt the
system. The Governor says it
would probably be declared un.
constitutional and that it would
be unworkable.
Many of the nol thern counties
in the state strongly favored the
bill and many will regret that it
did not become a law.

Lose Hurley Game in the
Ninth Inning
Had Miner Boys Beaten up
to Last Half of Ninth
Inning.

After having the game practically
won the Washburn base ball team
lost the game to the Hurley-Iron-
wood team last Sunday afternoon at
Hurley. 1t was one of the best
games played by the home team this
season and was very interesting
throughout.
The Hurley team scored their first
run in the initial inning of the game.
In the End inning Washburn suc-
ceeded in getting five men around
the bases on series of nice hits.
Hurley scored another run in the 3rd
inning, one in the 5th, one in the 8th
and in the last half of the ninth when
it looked as if the range team
would go down to defeat they man
aged to get two men around the bags,
thus robbing the local men of what
they had considered another victory.
Derusha pitched for the locals and
put up a good game. He was given
excellent support by the balance of
the team.

$4,000 has been brought to this
city as a result of the sale oJ the
crop. Less than one third of this
goes for picking, crates and commits
ton and the balance will go to the
farmer so that a number of them
will have plenty of the long green
for some time to come.
