Why Fight For England


Why should we fight for England, we
of the Irish race,
And in foreign battlefield the sturdy
Teuton face?
Desert our homes and families, our
beloved land,
To fight a friendly nation at our
enemy's command?
Yes, England is our enemy, as history
can show;
Don't tell me that our grievance dates
from many years go;
The massacre at Dublin is of such re-
cent date
To prove that England's enmity does
not by years abate.
When Erin needs the energy of every
faithful son,
Now that few installments of her
sacred rights are won,
Shall all her best and bravest to the
battle front be rushed
To aid the only enemy by whom she
has been crushed?
You tell me that home rule has beer
| signed by parliament and king
And when it's promulgated man!
blessings 1t will bring;
'Twould take a heap of blessings ant
i much of stolen right
To blot the curse Of Cromwell and al
. its dismal blight.
Home rule is on the statute book i
name but not in fact.

DULUTH NEWS

Leonidas Merritt, Duluth's commits
sioner OF public utilities, has raised
his voice in favor of tunnel under
the Duluth ship canal to replace the
present aerial bridge. The bridge, &C.
cording to Mr. Merritt, has about
reached the limit Of it's capacity 1t is
costly to operate and prone to get out
of order at the times it is most needed
The increasing traffic to Park Point
by reason of the new paving from the
canal to the boat club, will be heavy
strain on bridge, asserts Mr.. Merritt.
He further asserts that the aerial
bridge never was practical PROPOSE
ton, being erected more as SHOW
thing" than for actual use
A tunnel would save much time in
the handling Of the traffic and would
not be excessively costly.

And when this war will terminate

Our measure of home rule will be
tbs clearly understood,
Proportionate but to the flow of loya
Irish blood.
The Irish blood for freedom shed i.
sacred blood indeed.
But in this war of rivalry and base
commercial greed,
'Twould make the patriot martyrs
weep, were tears in Heaven
known,
We'd hear the agonized wall of En-
nett and Wolfe Tone.
Some of our boys, misled, tbs true
are fighting at the front,
Fearlessly and valiantly they brave
the battles brunt,
Their place is where it's always been
when hostile foes they meet
The foremost in the forward charge
the last when in retreat.
Today they're fighting near the field
of famous Fontenoy,
The soldiers of the old brigade, VIC
sing their deeds with joy;
Remember Limerick" was the or,
with which they led the charge
'Tis now Remember Belgium and tn.

What answer did John Parnell make
(ring out the words AGAIN.,
When to subdue colonies King George
demanded men?
The Irish Volunteers" will fight fol
honor and renown,
But not to aid tyrant king or strike

Then let this spirit permeate our Irish
hearts today,
To aid and guard the motherland al

The hopeful chance may soon arrive

Be ready, then, to fight for her with

WILDER CHARITY BUILDING AID
TO CHARITY,

When the beautiful Wilder Charity
building of St. Paul was finished at a
cost of a quarter of a million dollars
there were many to criticize this gen.
erous expenditure of money. Now it
is only the ill-informed citizen and
chronic kicker who would register a
protest against the erection OF such a
fitting monument to so noble family
The charity and social workers Of this
city are deeply grateful for the COM
modious quarters that are given them
in this building, free of charge. With
the increase of the number of friends
of the poor and the growth in inter-
est in social work all available space
is now taken and there is already
demand for more.
The most important regular meet
ing held there are the weekly case
conferences that are followed by a
Thursday luncheon for charity and So
cial workers. To these luncheons
come those who are housed in the
Wilder building, officers of the Juvenile
court and probation Office, representa-
tives of various philanthropic organi-
cations and of county and state insti-
tutions. There is engaged for each one
of those meetings a speaker who is a
recognized authority on some very i'm.
portant social topic-such as the relief
and reduction of poverty, public
health, unemployment, care of delin
quents, reform of adult law breakers
juvenile court work, cooperation, so
cial centers, legislation, etc.
Last Thursday the speaker of the
day was Rev. James Donahoe, city
missionary of St. Paul. He chose
the liquor problem as his topic ant
showed wherein this question SHOULD
have a place on programs of all char
ity and uplift workers. He called atten
