STILL X CHANCE TO FloHT.

Another and important step has been taken in the securing of the necessary legislation for home rule for Ireland. The passage of the bill after the third reading in the house of commons
 makes 1t law with the exception that certain for1nalities must be followed before 1t is actually placed upon the statute books. It will of course be re-: Jected by the house of lords but their consent is not necessary though their action may be delayed for a month.
 There Is the curious situation, how ever, surrounding this bill that while lit has been passed it must now go through the amending stage and that means the bringing up of all the old troubles and fights which have char acterized it's consideration for many years. This means that the fight can by no means subside and that agita- tion can be expected to go on for some time to come. The only inkling as to what the amending bill will contain is the statement by Premier Asauith that 1t will follow the course which he indicated a month or two ago and that the various counties in Ulster will have a chance to make known their wish concerning the time, within six years when the measure twill go into effect for them. The con sideration Of the amending bill it is thus indicated in advance must be un- dertaken with the spirit of compro- mise. This hasn't met with the best of results in previous efforts but with home rule assured it remains to be seen what the effect will be. It is open to a speedy and peaceful adjustment, or much more trouble.

THE BIRD LAW.

In view of the opposition which has been manifested towards the federal migratory bird law from the time that it was advocated, through the hearings in congress and only re- gently in the effort to keep the ap- propriation to such a figure as to make it almost useless, 1t is not sur prising that, the measure has thus early found it's way to the courts. De- spite tho high purpose of the bill there has been a constant claim of unconstitutionality under the belief that the birds and their killing should be regulated by the states The de- cision by the United States District court in Arkansas in support of such claim is therefore great disappoint- ment to the many thousand of bird lovers and hunters who realize the condition which is resulting from the indiscriminate slaughter of the birds and who understand that some such restraining force is necessary if the extinction of many of the species is to be prevented.
 It is the migratory bird in partic- ular which the law covers and when it is realized that the robin in the south is one of the birds which hunt CTS kill off without restriction, and that others suffer likewise through out the country the law serves a need ed purpose and while the decision is against the bill it never should be al lowed to rest until the highest court has passed upon it. The interstate existence of the birds should bring them under the protection of nation al laws, something which they can get in no other way because of the lack of uniform state laws.

STEAMSHIPS AND TERMINALS.

The problem of finding docking fla cilities for the big ocean liners. grow ing larger and longer as each new one is constructed was receiving the serious consideration of New York and the government officials not so many months ago. It was realized that the limit was fast being reached in dock extensions into the Hudsep if a safe fairway was to be presertHd for nav- igation. It revealed not only the ex- tensive growth of vessels but it also made plain that the time is not far distant when other terminal points must be developed to take care of the leviathans as they increase in size and number
 The arrival and departure of the Vaterland, for the minute the world s greatest steamship, have furnished the evidence of the manner in which the port of New York is hampered in the handling of big vessels. Getting it to it's dock was no easy task for the fleet of tugs and there were some anx- ious moments during the required four hours. but none more so than on it's departure when lack of room to operate sent 1t crashing into two barges which were sunk and at the same time demolishing the slips on the opposite side of the Hudson be- sides causing no end of trouble to other liners at their moorings.
 The giant lacked room, and with the trend in steamship circles to the thou sand foot boat it is bound to be a still more serious question for the ter minal to accommodate them, not only with length of piers but with sufficient open water to operate.

LEND A CAR

Memorial day takes on a new mean ing this year for there are but few who cannot be impressed by it's mean ing, accentuated as it has been so re- gently by the taking of Vera Cruz and the bringing home of those who gave their lives in that conflict for their country. Though insignificant in comparison with previous operations of army and navy, it nevertheless brings to attention most strikine1y the kind of service which was required in the war of fifty years ago when the boys and young men of those days were called on to defend country and flag, Patriotism prevailed then as it does now, and we of today are benefit ting from the results.
 It Is only proper that full and just tribute should be paid to the heroic dead-those who fell in battle or have since been mustered out. those who occupy known or unknown graves The veterans have given faithful ser vice to the Memorial day idea and by them it is kept alive, but it Is a day when the public should be cogni- zant of its. duty and should take the opportunity to pay tribute to the ffv- ing as well as dead, and heIp make this one day of the year what it should be.
 Why not as tribute to the veter- ans who are left give them the place or honor. and contribute the autos which will permit larger number to participate in the parade? They have marched since the early sixties but each year with thinning ranks and faltering step. Memorial day is going to be grand occasion to lend a, car that the veterans may ride.

cOURTEsIEs EXCHANGED

o'clock when we got to Elmwood nn- ally and dark as pitch.4
 ",rhats the way I was brought yp, I'd have you know, so you imagine new flat looking as it did after the Jorganses had gone and left 1t.
 .I don't believe that woman had: dusted off the baseboards for monthsi Oh, yes. know that. but even in Chi cago dirt doesn't sift in that fast. When was a girl if my mother caught me negligent in dusting oe- hind the pictures every day tell you she made me wish had behaved my self. She said 1t was sin not to be was nobody around to see them.
 s Why, I remember once when ma and pa went visiting and stayed home alone for two weeks with the younger children, and l dusted every day just as religiously as though there had heeu ma on hand to see it. That's the way I was brought up.
 And the gas stovel Oh, dear! l don't wonder landlords become grasp ing and mean and hate to put in new things for their tenants. Why, it took me three hours. three solid hours, to get that stove into condition so that could even boil water on it. was brought up to think it was just as necessary to rub off the kitchen stove with newspaper every day and wash 1t with hot water every Saturday as 1t was to wash my own face My moth CT always said to treat a stove as though it. was apt to be moved into the parlor and minute. I suppose Mrs. Jofgans thought she had cleaned it up, but not according to my notion. You could see it was just a nasty job, instead of a regular thing-eyen the stove seemed surprised and not natural. And the picture mohings!. When 1 got on the stepIadder and ran my hand over them my fingers were black. I have my opinion of woman who only cleans up in spots.
 T just get more thankful all the time that I had sense enough never to get really, well acquainted with Mrs. Jorgans. You can see she wasn't at all my kind. We are having most of the rooms repapered, too, because the paper was so badly soiled It looked as though they had rubbed greasy hands all over it. Why. I was always taught to be just as careful of even 5 cent wallpaper as though it was silk tapestry.
 "The floors looked as though she had let them varnish over old yarnish that wasn't clean. I shall have to work like everything to get the place into shape for human beings to live in.
 If I had ever known the Jorganses had ever lived there I'd have refused it unsight unseenr on general princi- PlCS, DQl we ASAilOo IL dAtO1 tAACy 1iiOS ed out I wonder where they went, anyhow? I expect that they traipsed away off somewhere where the rents are cheaper"
 Why" said the woman on whom the stout person was calling, some what uncomfortably, the 'Jorganses are boarding until their flat is ready for them. They-you see. they picked out your old building because it was nicer. The rents are so much higher. And she told me they couldn't move right in until the fiat was overhauled. it had been left in such an awful con- dition by the former tenants It was the second floor apartment, south"
 My great goodness squealed the stout woman, hysterically, that's the flat moved out off And she said that! Well, that's all want to know about her."-Chicago News.

FAMOUS TRIALS
THE TRIAL OF THE TWEED RING

On Oct. 2S, 1871. the Tweed ring. one of the most corrupt political rings that have ever injected themselves into American politics, saw the begin ming of its end in the arrest of Will liam Marcy Tweed, it's leader. This ring had become notorious in the frauds 1t had committed and for sev- eral years efforts had been made to disrupttt and to bring its leaders to the bar of justice.
 In the summer of 1870 proof was published of vast frauds by leading New York city officials, and Tweed, in the language of Judge Noah Davis, saw fit to pervert the powers with which he was clothed, in manner more infamous, more outrageous than any instance of a like character which the history of the civilized world af- forded"
 The multitudinous officials of New York were the rings slaves The thugs of the city were nicknarned "Tweed's lambs and they rendered invaluable services at caucus and convention When thieves could be kept in power by such means plunder was easy and brazep. Contractors on public works were systematicaiiy forced to pay handsome bonuses to the ring, One of them testified at the triali When I commenced building I asked Tweed how to make out the bills, and he saidi Have 15 per cent

 The stout woman sank into the rocker with sigh and began hem ming napkins energetically.
 1t certainly was the Queerest thing, l" she began. "our finding out that the fiat we've just moved Into had been occupied by the Jorganses. never could abide that woman and realize why, now that I've moved. Some na- lures are sensitive enough to gain impressions from the very air, I think. they couldn't afford to pay the rent. Forty-five dollars is a lot if you have mt got much; and for all the airs Mrs. Jorgans put on. imagine they have hard work to make both ends meet.
 aTle way she used to- try to Sa run n first time I ever saw her she actually had the nerve to come along and straighten the tablecloth I had just laid and fix the knives and forks over. And she said to Mrs. Smith that she wondered where the person who set brought up. fixed them back my way again the minute she left.
 She is great one to talk, now that have found her out How? Why, just said the flat we have moved into turns out to be the one the Jorganses left I found an empty envelope ad- dressed to her and then I asked the janitor. If you could have seen that place-my dear! It. does puzzle me how woman who thinks herself a lady, let alone putting on airs about setting a table and such things. can have so little pride and be so careless about other folks. Why, was brought up to be considerate,
 T remember the time we moved from Centeryille to Elmwood and my mother gave an awful shriek when we were two miles from Centerville and grabbed my fathers arm so suddenly that he nearly tipped the whole wagon load over in a ditch. Turn back! my mother cried. Turn right back, Jo- siah. I can't help it if it is 6 o'clock. I've just remembered that l didn't dust the window ledges in the attic, and I'm not going to have the neigh : bors say I moved out and left the place looking a sight And it was l0

FOR GREATER SAFETY.

Even though the establishment of safety devices by railroads results from various reasons. it is neverthe- less the fact that steady growth is being recorded. They are important and necessary from whatever stand point they are looked at. Though ac- cidents have been the cause of great : CT attention being directed to safety there has nevertheless been a constant recognition on the part of the roads or the necessity of providing proper protection Tor its employees and pat rons.
 Such progress has been made that up to the first of this year. according to figures compiled for the interstate commerce commission fifty three per cent of the railroad trackase of the country was protected by the block signal system. While much of this .in- cludes the hand control system the change to the automatic Is rapidly taking place. the past year showing an increase of 4.350 miles of track where automatic blocks had beep es- tabiished, while hand control was abandoned on 1.563 miles of road.
 Accidents on their own or other lines may have, stimulated the inn provemeiits but it is nevertheless 2 fact that no road can afford to lao behind in such matters. No better in- vestment or advertisement for future business can be made than that which looks to greater safety in transporta- ton. It is not only an inducement to more traffic but it eliminates a vast amount of the waste which comes from wrecIss through destroyed rolling stock, loss of goods, lack o1 confidence and the still greater drair upon the system which follows the loss of life or injuries. Safety through prevention of accidents is one of the great economical moves in railroad operation.
