him in bringing about the fullest de-

reason they devote their energies

are looked upon with special fayors
for they are increasing assets, while
mining and lumbhrng are not view

Banking In Small Communities.

We have lately read that the
banking system Of Canada, TO
which the banking laws Of Otla-
homa. South Dakota and Mississip-
p, ETC., owe one OF its most promi-
nent features, permits the central
banks to establish innumerable bran
ches. Some Of these are on the
lines Of the great trunk railroads at
places no larger than Lame or
Orange Grove, but which have a
populous and fertile back country.
One Of the leading Canadian banks
has 200 branches, some Of which
net only $500 a year, but 200 such
branches means 100000 profits
4 to the central bank.
The new Mississippi law does not
permit the establishing Of branch
banks, but section % in fixing the
minimum amount Of capital stock,
says: In cities, villages and COM
munities Of one thousand or less,
ten thousand (S1O.0O0)," and it is
to be observed that willie the act Of
1914 does not permit the establish
ment Of branch banks, they are for.

At to use against the popular rights

be said of him that his attempts at
constructive craftsmanship brought
anything but trouble to the govern

are coincident with the chief periods

time of Gladstone. 1t is worthy of
notice that when his power gave

alysis that the vitality of the Liberal
Union Party had also passed and
paralytic pail settled down upon the

was about to be placed in the statute

bitterest enemy. Chamberlain was
the personification Of every argu-

NATHAN AND THE IRISH ANaERI-
CANS.

Nathan. the notorious ex-mayor Of
Rome has returned home from his
American trip. He gave a glorious
account of the manner in which he
was "wined and dined" in America.
The only mar that he reports on his
progress from New York to San
Francisco and return is the hostility
of the Irish Catholics toward his
presence in America. Nathan
singled out the Irish Catholics par
ticularly because he says the agita-
ton against his appointment is due
solely to them. Nathan offers this
explanation because he desires to
counteract the influence that the
Catholic attitude against him has had
upon Italy itself. This arch-enemy
of the Catholic church has been ex-
cluded from Roman politics and has
partly been defeated in Rome. He
claims that the Catholic opposition
to him in America is not effective.
He realizes the tremendous effect it
has had on Italy and Italian Cathol-
lefty. The hostility to Nathan in
this country is open, determined and
we'll directed and there is no mis-
taking its sincerity and there is no
mistaking the intention of the Cath
Ill
to stay away from the exposition If
Italy insists In putting Nathan for
ward. Nathan has lost cast at home
and realizing Catholic opposition in
America it is quite probable that Ma
than may be superseded by some one
more worthy to be called represen-
tative of Italy instead of this English
born Jew.

CoNIN1ENDABLB UTTERANCEs.

In his address to the people of
Crookston, July 4th, Hon. Daniel w.
Lawler of st. Paul made it plain to
his audience that there was an influ-
entail body of American citizenship
thoroughly Disguised with the tactics
of Anglo maniacs in their attempts
to saddle the suspicious ties of Brit
ish friendship upon the American
people. Referring to the action of
the House of Representatives refus-
ing to appropriate $4,000 for the
celebration of 100 years of peace
movement. Mr.. Lawler gave his au-
dience to understand the position in
which we are placed by condoning
the facts of history If we permitted
such thing to take place. The &C
ton Of the House of Representa-
tives in refusing to expend this sum
of money to Celebrate the centennial
festivity furnished Mr.. Lawler with
a theme which he handled not only
with justice to himself but patriotic
justice to all Irish-Americans every
where. Mr.. Lawler has expressed in
words BETTING the occasion just
what was meant by the patriotic votes
of the members of the House of Rep
resentatives who had the hardihood
to reject such an unbecoming propo-
sition as the proposal of a peace Gel
ebration with Great Britain. We are
not to forget the words of the dis
tinguished patriot, who in the dark
est days of our national history when
peace was sought at honorable terms
with Great Britain and the sorely
tried colonies, exclaimed peace,
peace, there is no peace" and this is
still true SO far as Great Britain is
concerned. Mr.. Lawler deserves the
gratitude and respect not only of
every Irish-American but of all true
patriots who are interested in pre-
serving the history of our country
free from the faint Of British influ-
ence and who hope to have our ma
tional holiday continue to be day
of real significance. true to its or
iginal observance as day of rejoic-
ing over the freedom we won from a
nation intent Of destroying our liber-
ty, and it would certainly have been
nothing short of mockery to make
preparations for love feast with
Great Britain when our national hol-
iday should be kept in honor of those
who fought and died to secure free
dom from the nation that now wishes
to covet our friendship 100 years
after she sought to destroy our ma
tional existence.

BISHOP THINKS THAT ENGLAND
MAY BE DIVIDED.

London, June 20.-The possibility
of the north and south of England
becoming two distinct na!iors was al
most seriously discussed BY Bishop
Wellscn. dean Of Manchester. at a
recent meeting in London. TIE
bishop said that any one who had
gone from the north to the south as
he had done would be struck by the
widening gulf between the two Sec
tions. For one thing there was the
growing difference Of ecclesiastical
feeling, the south showing more and
the north less sympathy with the
ritualistic practices. The difference
had also been augmented by the ten
acity with which the north, and Ian
canshire particularly, had chung to
the doctrines Of free trade, whereas
the south of England was largely,
though not entirely given to pro-
lection of tariff reform.

Mock heroism has long been the
order of the day in the British Isles.
Vandalism is spreading and the
government is unable to check it.
The militant women of England is
a law unto herself. Her heroism,
however, is not the kind that ap-
peals. They have sought to dignity
their supposedly great cause but
propose to suffer for the cause of
their lawless acts, but the weeping
and wailing that comes from those
who reap the reward of their violence
and complain so bitterly because of
their suffering from having violated
the law cheapens the heroism that
they hope to have the world under
stand is being exhibited to them. In
other words the English militant
woman is willing to display every
sort Of heroism, chance every dang
or. violate every law. expose herself
to the punishment which her rash
ness deserves and then bewail the
administration of justice. 1t is
plain that first. last. and all the time
the English militant is counting
upon sex immunity. She declares her
equality, seeks protection behind the
treatment which she believes should
be accorded her sex. She is willing
Ito violate the laws. even anxious to
do 10. but not willing to suffer the
consequences. This is mock heroism.
the bravery is mock bravery and her
position lacks the essential element
ut sacred devotion to her cause,
namely, to abide by the consequences
lOf the act committed when those
ia 4. n are done for furthering the
Fcanse.
