And Whereas, Our Government has
proclaimed strict neutrality, thus as

Haltigan is printed elsewhere in this

HIBERNIAN ENTERTAINMENT.

The Hibernian Halls were thronged
on Tuesday evening, January -; the
crowd overlooked in passages down
the stairs and into the street. Not only
in numbers, but also in it's marked
success this occasion was the most
notable in many years. The causes of
the eager gathering were several: We
might mention in the first place the
fact that Division of the A. o. H.
and Division of the Ladies' Auxiliary
were in charge; everyone was expec-
tant of good music, good singing, and
good dancing; but above all everybody
wanted to hear a good speech on a
topic of personal and race interest
from speaker gifted with that which
all Celts love in man, the swaying
force of eloquence. The orator was
the Rev. John Dunphy, Vice-Rector of
the College of St. Thomas; his sub
ject, ireland and the Problems that
Confront Her." After speech that
held the closest attention of the au-
dience for more than an hour, Father
Dunphy invited DR.. John Ryan to rein.
force the arguments advanced in sup
port of a conservative policy in the
present monentous epoch in Irish af.

forceful style in defense of Mr.. Red.
mond's attitude.
The speaking over, Mrs. Cameron
delighted the audience with her sing.
ing of Irish songs; she is indeed an
artist of remarkable musical ability,
and the possessor of a beautifully
trained voice.
Miss Mary Mccarthy played selec'
lions on the piano which were received
with great pleasure; she exhibited
promise of the success that is the re-
ward of talent and conscientious prep
aration.
The third part of the program was
in charge of Mr.. Tom Donoghue and
his Fiddlers Three; they it was that
evoked the rythm of the feet; Irish
jigs and reels and square dances witt
enough of the modern steps to delight
all tastes. Without gainsay this gath
ering of the Gael was remarkable
success.

More than 5000 people, citizens of
st. Paul, Minneapolis, and many out of
town visitors, representing Irish, Ger
man and Scandinavian sentiments,
gathered at the St. Paul Auditorium
Tuesday evening to take part in the
program arranged by citizens of the
Twin Cities in the interest of real
neutrality, which was the keynote of
the evening addresses. An overflow
meeting of one thousand persons was
arranged at the st. Paul Hotel. This
too proved inadequate to the vast
throngs who sought admission to the
meeting places, and gave ample evil
dence to the desire of real neutrality
for the great body of citizens of our
country. The meeting at the audi
forum was presided over by ex-Gov-
ernor Eberhart, while the meeting at
the St. Paul Hotel was in charge of
Prof. Leanker. Both meetings were
addressed by the same speakers. Let
tiers were read from Ex-Governor Van
SAINT regretting his inability to be
present and asserting his interest in
real neutrality and the hope that con-
gress will consider the best interest of
the world by favoring real neutrality
and an embargo on arms. A letter
was read from Hon. D. w. Lawler, ex-
mayor of st. Paul, who had planned
to address the meeting on sufferings
caused by the war. On account of ILL.,
ness, Mr.. Lawler was unable to attend,
but his letter strongly announced his
support of the purpose of the meeting
endorsing the bill now pending in con-
gress to authorize the president to
prevent the expectation of arms and
military supplies. Mr.. Lawler referred
to the rule of international law, the
expectation of arms to belligerent ma
lions and declaring that such law
was in itself sufficient reason to press
the present bill and that the bill de
served the support of all peace or

TAKE STEPS FOR DIVISION
or IOWA LUTHERAN SYNOD

Aberdeen. s. D.. Sept. S.--The Iowa
synod OF the German Evangelical
Lutheran church concluded it's delib-
erations here Sunday after a four
days session, In which considerable
business of Importance to the church
was transacted, the most important,
perhaps. being the decision to divide
the synod, comprising several states
of the northwest into two separate
synods. ....r .
After considerable discussion Of the
question, IL was decided that the
church had grown so that two sepa-
rate synods were necessary, and ac-
ton was taken to organize a new
synod. ....
The synod elected officers for the
ensuing year as follows: President
Rev, ". Baettke; vice president, Rev.
A Helm; secretary, Rev. w. Schroe-
der; treasurer, Rev. w. link. Sunday
the synod celebrated the annual mis-
sion festival by an open air meeting
In Melgaard park.
Another feature OF the convention
was the presentation by the Rev. Mr..
Proehl Of the matter OF raising $780,
900 for church purposes, which the
Iowa synod had pledged itself to raise
by 1917, when the 400th jubilee of the
reformation by Martin, Luther will be
celebrated. .... .E.

ROADS EXEMPTED FROM
LEVY RESTRICTION LAW

Pierre. 8. D., Sept S.--The attorney
general rules that the levy made in
counties for taxes under the good
roads law is not such a county levy
as would be included I'm the law re-
lating to restrictions on levies, chapter
292 OF 1915. The road tax levy law OF
1911. in section Is, provides for road
tax levy for unorganized townships.
Consequently where all townships are
organized there would be no levy made
by the county commissioners under
that clause. Attorney General Cald-
well therefore concludes: IF 1t should
be held that the levy under this Sec
ton (good roads law Is included
within the total limit OF levy provided
by the 1915 act, II must be conceded
that the ruling could only apply to
part Of the counties OF the state and
the limit OF county levy would be uni
form In all Of the counties. The effect
OF this situation would be to impose
a hardship upon a part Of the coun-
ties by requiring them to keep their
entire levy, including the road levy,
within the limit of the 1915 act, while
the counties having no unorganized
townships and having no road levy,
under section IS, would seem to have
greater advantage in this respect.
I am, therefore, inclined to the opinion
that the levy under section Is OF thu
good roads law is not included
