Is II Years Old; for &c
Years Been in st. Paul

The man who may bring the
third red hat" to America is II
years old. Ireland's his native
country, but st. Paul has been his
home since he was II years old.
While he was still youngster
of the marble-playing age he at
tracted the attention of the priests
of st. Paul and he was sent to
France to be educated for Holy
Orders.
High honors have been be-
slowed upon the archbishop out
side of the church. France made
him commander of the Legion of
Honor. Yale gave him an LID.
degree and the Grand Army of
the Republic made him national
chaplain for term.
But the "soldier-priest," who
prefers street cars to automobiles.
declares that his greatest work
for church or state is the build
ing of the million-dollar cathedral
which has just been completed in
st. Paul and he is probably Civ
ing more attention now to the
cathedral than he is to the papal
consistory that may give him a

unusual of its kind and deals
with the effect of heredity. The
heroine is victim of the curse
of gambling and absorbed with
this vice, she ignores warnings
from husband, mother and
friends. At last, caught in a web
of her own weaving, she meets
death from a bullet, fired by a
gambler at her husband, who Is
raiding the gambling house.

Turned Tide at
Battle at COrinth

Should the red hat" be con-
ferred upon the distinguished
prelate, he'll probably take no
greater pride in wearing it than
he took in wearing the bullet
ridden campaign hat of a union
soldier back In the days of $50
when he served the nation as both
priest and soldier.

tically turned the tide of battle
and brought victory to the union

a strategic position. III it fell

battles crisis the Minnesota reg

1t seemed as II it must retreat.
But Chaplain Ireland had fore
seen the emergency - he was
ready for it.
He carried bags of cartridges
on his back from the base of sup
plies to the men. Back and forth
he rushed with the ammunition,
his life in danger every moment

Likes to Meet Man
With the Dinner Pail

To prove it, there's his street
car habit" as his friends call II.
He owns one of the finest auto
mobiles in st. Paul, but owning a
motor car hasn't made street cars
unpopular with the archbishop.
If a watchful secretary doesn't
persuade him against it he makes
daily trips around town in the
trolley cars, not only in st. Paul,
but when he's visiting in other
cities. ..
And his favorite time for street
car riding is the rush hour
when the man with the dinner
pail" is returning from work, and
many a man in overalls has hung
to strap and chatted socially
with the benign looking, elderly
gentleman who showed so much
interest in news from the shop,
conditions at home and everyday
affairs generally.
Although he's known in two
continents as the most scholarly
of churchmen, the archbishop who
may soon be made cardinal Is a
first rate farmer, a real close-to-
the-soil-farmer who knows a good
grade of wheat when he sees it,
and who isn't easily fooled on the
worth of horse or short
horn"
Several years ago when he was
still bishop of st. Paul he went
into farming on a big scale
bought 10000 acres of land in
Minnesota and colonized it with
900 families, and none of his
colonists took greater interest in
the crops" than he did.

Intelligent leadership is all
that is called for in the south
ern cotton situation, which is
not desperate on account of the
English contraband edict, ac-
cording to w. P. G.. Harding,
member Of the federal reserve
board, who addressed the Ala
bama Merchants association
at the Bijou theatre last night.
To house crowded to capacity, Mr.
Harding delivered an address pointing ort
the best way to handle the southern cot
ton crop which is now almost ready to
harvest.
He read personal letter to himself
from Woodrow Wilson, with the latter's
permission, in which the President ex
pressed the hope that as southern bank
ers will be able this fall to get money at
I and Az per cent, they will not seek 20
make or per cent profit, but in turn.
will lend the money to the producer at a
profit of or 11a per cent.
MIR. Harding predicted that there
would be international competition S
for the souths cotton crop this fall,
due to the possibility Of Germany's
attempt to buy now and store cot
ton with a view of having 1t to use
when the war is over and to the
f..r
embargo would be more effective
than the orders in council, that cot
ton still might find its way into
forbidden territory.
Mr.. Harding was introduced by Craw-
ford johnson, president of the Cham
her of Commerce, and spoke for two
hours. Repeatedly he was interrupted with
applause and when he finished the audi
ence arose to its feet and gave demon
stration, shouting and applauding the
speaker.
Those seated on the stage with the
speaker included Oscar Wells w. H.
Kettig, r. D. Johnson. J. l.. Cross. EN-
met O'Neal John Mcqueen, w. C. Rad

chants association, presided. Just prior
to Mr.. Harding's speech the association
adopted the following resolution:
Whereas, We recognize the necessity |
Of at once arranging for the financing |
of Alabama's cotton crop, which will be- |
