The Sons Of Erin.

scioualy begins 10 smile. They I'M.
mediately think of some ridiculous
joke somebody has got OF on Pat or
Mike, or on Bridget, the Irisn ser
want girl.
The mental picture which grea.
many people connect with the Iris.'
is that of !. small matched cottage,
with the pig I'm the parlor. The pie
ture is Just about AS true to the Irish
as the picture which the Irish connect
with America is to the American.
An American travelling in ireland
entered q picture house which had
advertised an American scene for
that evening. The picture shown wal
a rough. western scene with Indians
running wild through the country.
The irish consider such a picture ty-
pical cf American life. What great
thing II would be IL few more OF
the Irish could visit our country and
a few more Americans could visit
the Eme-' aid Isle.
Doubtless you have all had a great
deal of fun at the expense OF Pat and
Mike. but have you ever stopped 10
think what the Irish IN America have
meant to our country? Bob Taylor in
his eloquent tribute to The Sons of
Old Ireland" says. without our Irish

In the year .17lS. seven hundred
and fifty Ulster Scots, the people of
northern Ireland. came TO the New
England States. Between 80 apo'
1850, half a million more came to
America. These people were brave
and courageous, standing fer liberty
and freedom, aud were willing If nee
essary, to sacrifice their lives for
their principles.
1t was this 3pirit, born in old Ire
land, that inspired the Irish heart OF
Patrick Henry, and led him to make
his famous speech on accession from
England.
Later came the Declaration OF
American Independence which was
drafted BY an Ulster Scot. and first
printed by third Ulster Scot.
We are all proud of the memory oil
our noble statesman. John C. Calhoun
and yet il we erase the memory oil
the Irish, his narle must go too. The
South would also lose the names of
Henry Crazy. and Father Ryan
The Scotch-Ir;sh have given us
six of cur twenty-eight presidents
Andrew Jackion, James Buchaiia1,
James H. Polk, Chester a. Arthur,
William Mckinley. and our present
president, Woodrow Wilson; and
never have we had a president, no
matter of what descent, superior to
Wilson
Coming closer home, the first set
tier OF our own town, David Greer,

No ono is more loyal TO his native
land than the Irishman On Wednes-
day, March nth, was ST. Patrick's
day, the sons of Ireland, no matter
where found, could be seen wearing
a bit of green. Though perhaps q
long, long way from Tipperary and
the beloved shamrock, they Will show
their devotion TO their native land by
the Wearing OF the green - Good
reason have we 10 Join with them in
