the governor has promised to send a commissioner to investigate, if charges are made to him in due form, concerning the reasons for the shock ing failure of justice in the Cleary case. Petitions signed by 2,700 of the 1000 inhabitants of the county urge that course: and many of the petition CTS allege the existence of an arrange ment between the bosses of the two political parties to hamstring justice, protect corruption and divide the i'm munity with the spells.
 Rockland county has long and sadly suffered from the neglect of it's com r1uting population and the misman- agement of local statesmen. The power of the state can effect a sweep ing change for time. In the long run, as Governor Whitman says the character of its government depends upon the voters themselves.

REILLY BANOUETED.

Congressman Reilly was given a last evening which showed how we'll he Is thought of by the leaders in his district and in congress- among those coming to participate in the honoring of him at home being Claude Kitchin, the new democratic house leader, who made highly complimentary speech at the reception, he being a personal friend of the congressman.
 New Britain has always been inter- ested in the career of Congressman Reilly because it was here where he was born, where his early life was spent and where he is known now almost as we'll as in his home city of Meriden. He did not meet with de- feat last November because of any lack of ability or lack of attention to his public duties. It was a republican year in this end of the country, the var made business bad the party in power had to suffer and he went down
 
 of in congress, and New Britain likes to hear of his being honored and praised because it knows him well and fully realizes that he deserves all the praise that can come to him. He has been popular everywhere; he talks well and writes well, always with in formation and interestingly and those who know him have always held him in high esteem, not alone for his general ability but because he is a good mixer and enjoys the society of his fellow citizens. Men like him are not easily kept in the background, and when election time comes around again he will in all probability be dem ocracy's choice for congress in the third district and with the war over, the new tariff act tried out and business revived his defeat of last year may be turned into a victory.

Origin of Some Irish Names.
( Montreal Gazette.)


 German philologists are making fun of the names of the soldiers in the Irish regiments, as if the men were the descendants of barbarians. One professor says that the name of the Phoenix park in Dublin may be taken to illustrate the lot; it comes, he says, from the 'feenix," an altar where human sacrifices were offered. Anyone having an acquaintance with the Irish language knows better. It is difficult to put Irish words into an English dress, but the Phoenix park is really a corruption Of the Irish word "feenisll,' meaning a clear and limpd stream of water such as flows to this day behind the gate lodge of the vice regal grounds When the German experts go on to tell that the names of individual Irishmen are those of savagcs, one begins to lose faith in their knowledge. Here" says one of them, lis a wretch, captured at the AiSnc, whose name is Seescenn
 a word of African derivation." This name has nothing to do with Africa
 with which the Irish had no connec- ton in ancient or modern times It is the Irish for a marshy or hoggy place and mayhap the unfOrtllnate soldier was born at or near one There is another word. Carcach which sig nites a marsh from which the name of Cork is deprived, so thae even to

try has. But there is no reason wnu
 the disadvantages winter imposes on
 struggling class Of town dweIlers without making a well-considered and
 persistent attempt to remove them
 They can be removed by united effort and the cooperation of the govern ment. The outdoor laborer could po employed all tho year round, in tho, cities during summer and In tho for ests of the provinces during the win ter. if the harvest of the forests wers reaped systematically and scientific cally as it is in northern Europe. A map of the arena in which war Is now being waged in Trance, Germany, Russia and Austria shows timber al- most everywhere, save In T few sec tions of Saxony and Silcsia. These. forests are never cut over and de- stroyed. The maturing timber is re- moved year by year, as any other crop would be, and in the winter sea- son men in thousands are employed to reinforce the regular foresters The same system should be pursued hero. The alienation of the forests to concessionaires who purchase tho right to cut timber in any way thatS seems best to them should no longer be permitted and tho whole business tho primary idea that the forests must provide winter occupation for. men of the cities.

this day the peasant who comes into Cork with his eggs and butter speaks of if as Corcach, and a part or the city Is still known as The Marsh. A writer in the Berlin Tageblatr says common Irish name is Cashel, which Is really Abyssinian." AS a matter Of fact the word, which occurs in the names of a great many townlands in Ireland. means a stone fort; it has no more to do with Abyssinia than with Germany or Van Diemens s Land.
 What is the sense of blackguarding the Irish In this puerile fashion? Are they not mighty good fighters? If so, firht them. The old duke of Yelling ton said during the Penlnsular war that the enemy always underrated the Irish regiments and invariably suc- cumbed to them. The German pro- fossors have evidently not yet mas tered the Irish language. It is very beautiful one, but highly complicated. Here, for instance. is a Berlin writer who imagines that because the word Eingarrah, so he says. means loyalty, it has been supplanted of late by Fin gorrin which means disoyalty to England. There are absolutely no such words in the language. He must have invented them. Whenever England has been, in trouble the Irish have always stood by her till the last shot was fired There is a very fine saving ascribed to Daniel O'Connell: Sometimes we are not friendly De- tween ourselves, but let the enemy come and hell shall not part us till he is beaten

The ParsOn Calls on Pa.

(Edgar A. Guest in Detroit Free Press) The other night our doorbell rang
 an Ma said: Mercy me I haven't asked a soul to come. Who-
 ever can it be?' An Pa got up and lit the light in our
 reception hall An found it was the minister who'd
 come to pay a call. Pa showed him to our easy chair, an
 took his coat and hat An said as how he long had wished
 to sit with him an chat. They talked about the dreadful war,
 an told if they were kings Just how much better they would run
 all governmental things. An then the minister remarked: "Our
 church is deep in debt, I'm calling on our business men to see if they will get Behind a movement to relieve the aw-
 full load we bear, Am it occurred to me that you would
 like to do your share" An then he pulled a paper from his
 pocket an he said: "I'll read the names of those who've
 signed" And Pa said "Go ahead!" These men," the minister explained, n"don't give in large amounts, It's not the splendor of the gift, but
 how you give that counts.'' An Pa was just as nice as pie, his
 voice was sweet an low, He told the parson he was glad he
 came to let him know; You should have stirred me up be-
 fore. It isn't right" said he, That with so many prosperous men
 church in debt should be. "Though I am not a wealthy man, I'll
 gladly do my share, Just pass that list an ] will sign"
 The parson showed him where. Twill fifty dollars help?' said he.
 The parson said it would. An made a speech exalting Pa for do-
 ing what he could. But when the minister had gone, Pa
 stormed about the place An said: T knew it all the time; I
 read 1t in his face.' "Knew what?" said Ma. "Knew this"
 said Pa, 70, he can't fool mo
 much,
 The moment that he stepped inside
 knew he'd make touch" You seemed real glad to sign your
 name,' said Ma You didn't say A word to him to let him know you
 didn't want to pay Pa gave the cat a shove that sent him
 flying from the couch. An said: "I spose you'd like to have
 him think that I'm a grouch."

Canada's Winter Problem.

Must the outdoor workers of Cana dian Cities--the men of the building trades. those employed on civic i'm provements and tho great mass of un skilled workmen for whom winter means idleness-look forward for all time to conditions under which four months of unemployment are more certain every year than eight months or steady work during the open weather? Good times do not last forever There always will be. under our imperfect organization of indus try, periods when work will be scarce But more potent than all other causes or unemployment in tho cities of canada is the Canadian winter. From the lake vessels, the farms, and the construction camps men crowd into the cities and compete with the resi- dent lahorcrs for the few outdoor jobs oDtainable, such as snow ShoVeling and sewer construction.

countries to endeavor to do this on account of the war in Europe. The
 plll Is looked upon as a good mea- sure in some quarters because of the
 benefit it would be to the United
 States in giving the country the power to carry it's own goods abroad,
 but Senator Lodge claimed in his speech that the ships to be purchased are those owned by Germany and in termed in American ports because of fear that they may be seized by ships of the other countries which are now at war with Germany
 Senator Lodge takes the ground that the bill is a dangerous measure and that it's passage might be consid- cred a violation of neutrality. It ap- pears that a German ship purchased by Americans is to be sent abroad to furnish a test case. he chara cterizes it as an improper experiment on the ground that the transfer of a flag from a belligerent to a neutral ship after hostilities had commenced was not to be recognized that he feared that the opponents of Germany would still re- gard the ships as German and that as result they might be liable to be sunk. The question of govern ment ownership has entered into the case and it is being used as an ar gument against the bill. It would seem, however, as if that is not the serious feature of the measure, al- though the same cannot be said about the. purchase of the ships that are in termed in certain ports. It would be an easy matter to discuss the bill as a general proposition were it not for the fact that the vessels in question are now owned by country at war with other countries. This country needs to preserve spirit of neutral l ity in all matters, not only for the 1 sake of the country itself but for the 1 sake of it's people, many of whom have 1 individual sympathy with the coun- tries at war.

 It is infinitely better for young woman not to marry, to learn some business or profession and follow it through life, than to marry unfortu- nately. Probably a vast majority of marriages of convenience, or SUD- posed necessity as Professor Taft calls them, are unhappy. Those that turn out we'll do so in spite of the heavy odds against such a chance. It goes without saying that most young women who marry for convenience, or because they don't know what else to do to secure "a future," make at least two people unhappy and some times a great many more.-New Ha- ven Union.
