IRISH ANTIPATHY TO ENG
LAND.

III their VEINS to understand
whence comes the undying antip-
athy of the Irish to the British
government. 1t is safe to say that
such people have given little at
tention to the study of Irish his
tory. TO one who has read such
history, however, the condition is
easily explainable, for it is a rec
ord OF brutality which is scarcely
conceivable.
The recent murders perpe-
tratcd by the government in &C
cordancc with law are but rcpc-
tition of what has taken place over
and over again and for which
there was really no just cause.
To be sure, the revolution was
most untimely; but the men who
took part in it had been goadcd to
desperation. If they were guilty
OF treason, were not Sir Edward
Carson and his Belfast Orange
men doubly so? The men of the
north armed and were prepared to
resist Home Rule, but the govern
mcnt lifted not a finger, though
the blood of Irish Catholics was
spilled.
If we go away back to the days
OF Venerable Oliver Plunkett we
find the same barbaric brutality
existing. In those days British
law was to the effect that "if any
Catholic shall keep a school or
teach any person, Protestant or
Catholic. any species OF literature
or science, such teacher shall be
for the crime of teaching, punish
able by law with Punishment, and
if he return from Punishment, lie
shall be subject to be hanged as
a felon."
Here is another section: "If Il
Catholic. whether child or an
adult. shall attend in ireland a
school kept by Catholic, or shall
be privately instructed by Cath
Ole, such Catholic, although a
child in its early infancy, shall
incur a forfeiture of all property,
present and future"
Early emigrants from the Old
Land were pointed at with the fin
ger of scorn as being ignorant.
Certainly they were ignorant.
How could they be otherwise un-
der conditions then existing?
But what of Archbishop Plum
kett himself? His crime consist
ed i'll keeping the faith. Macaulcy
says that the judges before whom
the Archbishop was tried were
corrupt, cruel and timid." When
Archbishop Plunkctt had gone
through the farce OF trial, the
chief justice pronounced the SEN
tencc as follows: "You must go
hence to the place from whence
you came-that is to Newgate
and from thence you shall be
drawn through the city of London
to Tyburn; there you shall be
hanged by the neck, but cut down
before YOU are dead. your bowels
shall be taken out and burnt be-
fore your face. your head shall be
cut off. and your body be divided
into four quarters, to be disposed
OF as his majesty pleases.'
Such might have been expected
i'll Darkest Africa or among the
savages OF North America. 1t is
too horrible to contemplate. The
recent hanging of Sir Roger Case
ment is a simple repetition of Brit
aims ancient method of doing
away with those who oppose her
oppressive rule, though it must be
said that the death of Sir Roger
was not carried out in so afro
cious manner.
Even in our day OF advanced
civilization England can always
lig up law for the punishment

The singer is lame man. He is
heavily built, wears cap, and holds a
stick in his hand. A roll of scarlet
round his neck expresses something in
the mana certain rawness of life
and crudeness of artistry. The song
finished, he crosses the street and
makes his way into the house that is
saloon and general store With it's
crowd the interior is replica of the
market. The people talking and drink
ing have been the balladsinger's audi
ence. he goes to the counter that
crosses the upper end of the shop, and
stands waiting on their attention.
The ballad singer takes off his cap.
His big head is bald and his face is
clean-shaven. The big face has many
proturbances upon it. The nose looks
like copper, and the face looks as if it
had been FURNISHED. The small knowl-
edgable eyes watch the crowd atten-
lively, but without any flash or eager
ness. A tumbler of porter is given
him, and the minstrel sits down on
the top of barrel. He salutes each
person in the shop, drinks a little
porter, and having gained some atten-
ton, begins song that is adapted to
the audience song that relates to
the adventures of a gang of Connacht
laborers in England. He sings with
great liveliness, using the short end
of his stick like conductors baton,
as though the song were the score
and the crowd the orchestra. The
| song is success, and good many
coppers are contributed. He says,
Three cheers for Connemara, three
cheers for Westport, three cheers for
the place where we are" A man who
has been drinking, cries out in Gaelic,
"And health to Mayo, the country
that's best in Erin" Facing the coun.
tryman the ballad-singer begins the
popular Gaelic song in praise of Mayo
"Condae Mhuig-eo." The countryman
sings the words aggressively to an
audience that are not Mayo people and
that have a neighborly dislike of that
county. For the sake of order the
shopkeeper intervenes. The ballad
singer discreetly withdraws.

Give US Water but Don't Drown

We oppose Boss Rule in which two
or three men undertake to run the
town. We oppose discrimination in
the water scheme by which fine resi-
dences are left out and the great mass
of the poor are brought in to be tax
ed. We object to the payment of
$74,000.00 interest on a S65,OO0.0O
loan, to unfair and unjust assessments
of benefits on property, to taxing the
already overburdened churches and
school houses, to placing such a
burden on the town that it cannot
aid or assist in establishing industries
to afford employment for laboring
people and to raising OF the tax rate
to a point that will exclude invest
ments and other improvements in
the town.
We favor an adequate water system
for the present needs of the town and
that this be accomplished by granting
franchise with proper encourag-
ment to the present water company,
or by joint stock company in which
all citizens who may desire can take
stock but not be forced to do so
against their will.
In either case the water system
which we now have can be improved
enlarged and extended to fully meet
present demands and carried in all
directions as the town grows and as
the demands require.
In general we believe in a pro-
gressive townlimited by conservatism
and reasonable economy, lfyou are

The Water Question in the City
Election.

A water Improvement district is
created by the act of majority in
value of owners of all the real estate
within the proposed district signing a
petition to the council to create the
district; when this is done the law
makes it obligatory upon the council
to pass the necessary ordinances or
forfeit their jobs. There is no chance
for personal opinion on the part of
councilman, the law says they shall
create the district.
Such was the procedure in the
present water system, the council is
not a court to try the question; only
the Chancery Court can do that, and
If the present improvement district is
found to be legally created by the
court the matter is settled absolutely;
if found illegally created only
new petition by the real estate owners
can start it again and no act or
opinion of councilman can influence
the question within the council
should such petition be again
presented.
The opponents to the proposed
system wish to try out public Senti-
ment on the matter, and for that pur-
pose nominated Ben Rowland for
Mayor and a set of councilmen OPP
posed personally to this method OF
improvement, while Mr.. Fellows and
the old council favor the proposed
water system to the extent of stand
ing for reelection solely from that
standpoint.
If the voters abide by this test they
will vote for the issues involved and
not upon personalities as between
the candidates; in other words MIR.
Rowland and his ticket representing
disapproval of the proposed water
system, you would in voting for them
simply register yourself as opposed to
this particular method of improve
ment.
If you favor a complete new
water system by theproposed method
you would vote for Mr.. Fellows and
the old council, simply to register
yourself as in favor of the matter and
not from personal preferences as to
candidates.
This was the original plan proposed
by the opponents to the proposed
water system, but the fact of Messrs.
Christian and Freezing also being lin the
Mayors race complicates the matter.
Mr.. Christians platform as an
nounced puts him or record against
the proposed water system, so his vote
may be counted as in favor of the op-
position, in the final casting up. MIR.
Freeling's platform announcement that
water does not enter into his race for
the Office eliminates his votes either
way on the question for or against
the proposed water system.
The vote can in no why influence
the question as to whether the water
system will be built or not, the court
will settle that, but it will be test

voters of Harrison stand on this i'm

died at the State Hospital for

dating from January, 1907.
Gov. Little was elected gov

strenuous nominating cam
paigns ever held in Arkansas.
His illness was due principally
to the arduous work of that
campaign. He was inaugurated
governor the following Janu-

flee but a few hours. being
stricken in his office shortly
after he had delivered his in
augural address to the Legisla-

AGED MAN is
KILLED BY MULE

Pine Bluff, Oct. 31-Isaac
Shepherd, aged 81, for the past
two years mayor of Sheridan,
Grant county, died early this
morning at local hospital, as
a result of injuries received
Saturday at Sheridan, when he
was thrown from a rig by a
fractions mule, the animal then
kicking him about the head.
Mr.. Shepherd never regained
consciousness. He was one of
the best known and most popu-
lar men in Grant County and is
survived by several brothers
and other relatives. He was a
WidoWer, his wife having died
several years ago of injuries re-
ceived when she was thrown
from a buggy when the mules
ran away.

Necessity of Supporting
Your Home Paper

The price of blank news
print paper is now more than
three times as high as it was a
year ago, and is stilladvancing.
Every newspaper publisher
IN the country is now endeav-
oring in some manner to meet
this increase in cost through
some channel of his business.
Every paper in the country
is facing situation perilous to
its existence, and it is up to the
towns that those papers have
given such substantial aid to
their upbuilding, to now stand
by their home papers and give
them the advertising patronage
and support they are entitled
to.
NO town wants to be with
out a paper, no real live bust
ness man would want to re-
main long in a town that did
not have paper, and any line
of business will hesitate before
investing in town that has no
paper to represent its interests.
But many towns will, in the
near future, have a paper
greatly reduced in size or be
without one, if the business
men do not give the support
that is essential to the life of
newspaper business.
Only those papers that are
being literally supported by
their towns and have their adj
vertising and subscription ac-
counts promptly paid will be
able to survive till the paper
situation has been relieved. and
prices again become normal.

President Wilson is criticised
because he favored the 8 hour
law and prevented the big
strike. Had the strike come, all
business would have been tied
up, and the markets destroyed.
Farm products could have been
bought by big monied men only
who were able to hold them.
We would have had a repiti-
ton of 1911, when the war de-
stroyed the market, and specu-
lators had their own way. But
Wilson prevented the strike;

are good. Wilson did it.
