new county called Sunshine.
The line would cut the county near
Brewster. putting Florence. Rockvaie.

In the now county of Sunshine.
Florence is named as the temporary
county seat. but Rockvaie would
probably be the county seat of the
new county when that matter was fin-
ally settied-if the county were ever
created. .
The bill was introduced jointly by
Representatives t. II. Howells and
VIM. Gilbert both Fremont county
representatives. 1t is understood thar
the measure was introduced by re-
quest" and that neither representa-
tive was in favor of the bill.
Like a founding. it was laid on the
door step of the house in the dead OF
night. No one had warning OF is
proposed arrival and no one claims
authorship or interest in the measure

ties out OF this already thinly settled
county is not favored by any one
who has given serious thought TO the
consequences. a few prospective Of
fee holders OF the new county natur-
ally favor IT,
Florence would be the chief sufferer

county organization and set OF county
officers were thrown upon II.

Up to date suggestions along tae
line OF forming new county OF The
east end has been considered joke
and nobody expected that bill would
be introduced.
But the introduction of the bill
would indicate that 1t Is not all a

THE IMPORTANCE
OF BEING IRISH

F. p. Dunno; writing The Inter-
prefers House. in the January Am
erican Magazine, says in part:
The number of high sounding
names constantly procurable by anti
Tammany committees might seem to
argue against the assumption that
the old New Workers. are not out
of sympathy with political reform.
Yet there is some truth in the con-
tention that these distinguished
gentlemen are against Tammany not
because it is Tammany, but because
1t is Irish.
Certainly they have shown no
great Indignation against the foul
ness at Albany in which Tammany
has borne not the most conspicuous
part. Tammany Was just as corrupt
when native born Americans control
led it and native sons shouldered
Irish immigrants off the sidewalks of
the Bowery as II is today.
1T was not questionable in those
days to be a corrupt politician but it
was questionable to be Irish when
the city was invaded by swarms of
poor country people driven from
home by famine, and by new neces-
sity to mean employments and in
some cases to lawless lives. 1t would
have been the same thing If the i'm
migration in the same circumstances
had been German. Proof that this
tradition of hostility Is still believed
to exist appears at every election.
Many men OF Irish birth or des-
cent who have no love for the organ
ization are driven by the clan feel
ing. strong in all men, to support it,
and they do so with the conviction
that It is not Tammany but their
own race that is attacked. It is pro-
bable that twenty years from now
these same men will be leading an
assault on Tammany Hall control.
