-Blake-Copeland fe e ia t ring, will be duly dissolved by the people next Tuesday.
 Like other illegal bodies, they have resorted to the threadbare trick of diverting the public mind from their il- legal status and their huge fees by vituperation and reckless misstatements. Their mire of misrepresentations and absurd efforts to manufacture skele- tons speak plainly their des- peration.
 They charge in substance that l am a crook, extortioner, embezzler, hypocrite, etc. Mark Twain advised every man to run for office in order to find out about his past crimes un- known to himself and to thank his opponent for the informa- ton. I give the Clerk Holding Company Mark Twain thanks. They can wa4low in the mire all they please.

WAS IRISH REVOLT A l MENACE TO AMERICA?
Had Germany Been Successful There, Russia Thinks She Might Have
 Tried Same Tactics in U. $.

Petrograd. May 6--(via London )-rne Petrqgrad Gazette declares that the Irish rebellion was menace to the United States. for had the Germans succeeded in carrying out their plans regarding Ire4 land they would, the newspaper believes. have replied to President wilson's latest note by threat to start the same kind of an uprising in America i'll districts thickly settled by Germans
 Tt is characteristic, says the Gazette, that during the raids immediately after the delivery of the American note, when the German newspapers were aggressive, when the bubbles. of the Irish uprising burst, they immediately changed their tone and began discussing the advantage of trade with America and the tradi- tionar friendship between the two coun- tries"
 The Bourse Gazette calls attention to an investigation which it says the Wash ington authorities made into an Austrian attack on.a Russian ship. This shows,' says the newspaper, that America is not defending American interests alone. This fact considerably dminishes the chances of peaceable agreement" i
