AMERICAN
IRISH
WAKE UP!
1t is the practice of some ignOr-
ant and malignant people to
ridicule and disparage the Irish
race. and a great many Americans
disavOw Irish descent, or IL they
do acknowledge IL, speak OF IL in
a whisper. Why is this? It's be-
cause the American mind has
been filled with the idea OF
"AnglO-Saxon superiority;" Amer
leans believe most of the settlers
and those that secured the indie
pendence Of this country were
almost wholly English; and the
Irish are looked upon as newcom-
ers, driven here by potato
famines.
The fault lies with Irish
Americans themselves. The Eng
lish never miss an opportunity to
boost their race; the newspapers
prate about AnglO-Saxon bravery,
fidelity, courtesy and enterprise,
while a great many Irish are
more apt to apologize for their
existence in America.
The remedy lies with you. We
have just published a book ON
1.-The Irish Contributions to Amer
ica's Independence" which proves
the achievements of the Irish race
in the founding of America and
the establishment of her inde-
pendence and material progress
were unparalleled by any other.
It contains practical information
OF the kind that men of the race
should possess TO enable them 20
refute the scurrilOus attacks made
upon them by the ignorant, and
the strongest point In its favor is
that IL was written by Prot
estant, who does full Justice TO
the ancient Irish people.
Only 5000 copies of the book
have been printed, so IL you want
a copy, order IL today. Simply
send a dollar bill with your name
and address. III you do not con-

ests OF the Irish In America Won

pressed forward, to emerge at
length, bleeding and torn, at the
head of the little bay. 1t was
late afternoon; a cottage stood on
the bank not fifty yards distant;
and the boat just showed among
the mangroves. Brewster crept
cautiously toward it. He pulled
it from its place into the shallow
water.
Then he discovered that, with
the chain and ball, he could not
enter it. He could not lift his
leg from the swampy bottom of
the bay; nor, had he done so,
could he have climbed in without
upsetting the craft.
Under the seat, as he had been
advised, he saw the little oilskin
package containing the money
and the key. But he could not
reach so far. His finger tips
stopped short a full foot; to
stretch further meant to upset
the little craft. He struggled till
the sweat poured down his face,
then, turning, he became aware
that a small child was watching
him, girl about five years old,
evidently from the cottage.
Come here" said Brewster
hoarsely, and the child obeyed.
'Do you see that package under
that seat? Could you get it for
me-"
The child stood watching him,
finger in mouth, half frightened,

The direct information was that the bill
as drafted and presented to the House
represented his final conclusions on the
data which had been produced by these
arguments. -
MIR. Henry supports President.
Representative Henry of Texas. chair
man of the House Rules Committee, ard
one of the House 'insurgents' on the
subject of currency. called upon Presi-
dent Wilson yesterday to assure him
of his support of the present measure.
he predicted that the currency bill viii
pass the House In week or ten days
and said that he was willing to Coop
crate with Majority Leader Underwood
to the extent of reporting q special rule
to the House IL that were necessary TO
effect the speedy passage of the measure.
In an additional statement on the Glass
bill filed in the House yesterday, Repre-
sentative Lindbergh, Progressive OF
Minnesota, denounced the caucus sys-
tenn Of the Democratic party.
THE Glass bill is a living picture of
the deplorable effect of the reasonable
caucus system and the gag rule by which
a few leaders control legislation said
Lindburgh. AS a result the outrageous
policy of eNtOrting usury from the people
to pay monopoly is to De continued. BY
the failure of Congress to enact proper
bill, an overwhelming majority " the
peOple will be compelled to work too
many hours. receive too small pay for
what they do. and pay too much for
what they buy. and therefore have but
few of the advantages that the present
day civilization owes them"

BRYAN DISCLAIMS
KNOWLEDGE OF ADS
Says that Jugglers and Magieians
Billed with Him Are Not Coun-
fer Attractions.

Just before leaving the State Depart
nent at noon yesterday to fill a Chau-
tauqua engagement at Salisbury, Md.
Mr.. Bryan denied that the juggIers,
dancers. magicians. and singers which
are appearing oil the same circuit as he
are counter attractions. He said that
the management of the Chautauqua cir
cult found it advisable to have other
entertainers on their programs TO amuse
the people and prepare them for the
more serious features on the bill.
Mr. Bryan disclaimed any knowledge
of the circular sent to Washington news
paper correspondents by Paul NJ Pear
son. manager and lecturer on the circuit.
inviting the public to take notice of the
varied attractions to be offered, with
the Secretary of State as the bright
particular star of the aggregation. The
Secretary said he did not feel that he
could be held responsible for advertising
literature sent out by the management
without his knowledge. II was quite
evident that Mr. Bryan was not alto
gether pleased with the kind of publicity
given the circular
Mr. Bryan got in from a two days
speaking trip in Maine late Sunday
night and spent the morning at his Of
fice in the State Department. He will
he back again today.

HOUSE DEBATE HOT
ON COMMERCE COURT
Discussion of Urgent Deficiency Bill
Rcnches Expected DIssolu-
tIOn of Tribunal.

In the House OF Representatives yes
terday all of the minor items of the ur-
gent deficiency bill were discussed, with
here AID there an unimportant amend
ment. following which, for more than
two hours, the House debated the pro-
vision of the bill by which the Commerce
Court will. in sixty days, become a thing
of the past and its four component judges
be relegated to the Circuit Courts.
Representative Charles A. Bartlett OF
Georgia, Democrat introduced an amend
ment to the bill which not only would
the Commerce Court cease TO be, but
its Judges would cease also to hold any
judicial office.
Upon the Bartlett amendment there
was extended debate. Representative
James R. Mann, of Illinois, the kepub-
Iican floor leader, taking the position
that to enact the amendment into the
bill would be unconstitutional, on the
ground that by the terms of the origl.
nal act, which created the Commerce
Court, its judges were appointed for
life, and further provision made for
the circulation of the component mem
bership of the court among the other
circuit judges and the further detail of
circuit judges TO the Commerce Court
for stated terms.
There was a vote by tellers upon the
Rartlett amendment and IL was car
ried by 80 to As. Upon this action Mr..
Mann made the point of no quorum.
and the final adjustment of the matter
went over until today.
Speaking against the Bartlett amend
ment as well as against the provision of
the bill eliminating the court, Represent
ative Robert F. Broussard, Democrat, of
Louisiana, told the House that, although
he did not approve of the Commerce
Court in its present one-sided jurisdic-
tion, he considered the court a step in
the right direction, and that with an
amendment to the existing statute, by
which the shippers as well as the car
riers would be given the right of appeal
from orders of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, he considered the Commerce
Court a desirable and a very necessary
thing for the facilitatIon of litigation in
transportation matters.
Mr.. Broussard predicted that with the
Commerce Court eliminated this year ''it
will not he tewnty-fOur months before
the vast shipping interests of the United
S.ates-big shippers and little shipperc-
will be coming to Congress bHsecching
you 10 create a Commerce Court CT its
equivalent"
preceded Mr.. Broussard with a similar
argument. Following Mr.. Broussards s
speech Representative Esch of Wisconsin,
Republican, and a member of the Com
mittee on Interstate and Foreign Com
merce. and co-author with Senator
Townsend, of the Esch-Townsend rail-
way bill, spoke for five minutes in de-
fense of the Commerce Court as at pres
constituted

PENSIONED BY UNCLE SAM.
Mick. in ARMY Service re- Years
RctIr,,s to Life of Ease.


From the Kansas City Star
Mick. the -only horse on Uncle Sans
pension list, is enjoying his new free
dom in a pasture on the military reser-
walton at Fort Riley. Kans-. after twen-
ty-six years 'of continuus service. So far
as the post records show, he is the only
army horse that ever was ''pensioned.
All of them are condemned when their
period of usefulness has expired. and
are sold at auction. Mick's long service
and unusual qualities saved him from
this fate. and he will be kept at Fort
Riley until he dies.
Mick is thirty-three years of age He
was purchased for army use in 1891 TO-
$40 about half the amount now paid by
the government for artillery horses. He
was assigned to battery as Wagon
horse and served in that capacity until
eight years ago, when he was promoted
to chief of section horses, and was rid
den by the sergeant in command of the
section until his retirement a short time
ago.
Within the past eight years Mick has
developed unusual talents for a horse
without high school, training. and has
won a number OF medals and blue rib
the line of his duties. He took a blue
ribbon in a Roman race at the st. Jo-
seph military tournament six years ago,
and that race is still discussed by the
older men of the army who were there.
AS 4 jumper he also has a good record,
and, in spite OF his age. is able to clea-
the bars in good shape.
Mick is a veteran, too. having served m
Cuba during the Spanish-American war.
Until his retirement he was with Bat
terry ID Of the Sixth Field Artillery, and
mas been stationed at Fort Riley Tor a
dozen years.
At the post he is known as the horse
that cleans his teeth. After every meal
re hunts out a picket rope and rubs his
teeth across II until they are thoroughly
clean. He is a blood bay, without a
white spot on him, and weighs L2OOl
pounds.
When it is considered that the average
period OF service of an artillery horse Is |
from three TO ten years, Mick's long rec |
ord is exceptional and army men saw
that he has more years to his credit
than any other horse in the army.
