HOME RULE SITUATION
REGARDED AS ACUTE

London. March Spending a de-
cision which is to be taken up at an
adjourned meeting Of the Irish party
this afternoon, the outcome of the new
home rule crisis is regarded with the
greatest uncertainty and no little
anxiety. Whether the exit of John
Redmond and his followers was spon-
taneous or as unionists say, carefully
organized beforehand for effect, it
took the house somewhat aback and
has created situation which is re-
garded in some quarters as acute rs
at any period in the long drawn out
home rule fight.
Speculation in the Hobbies and in po-
litical circles concerning the next move
Of the Nationalist is exceedingly ac-
tive and the result of today's party
meeting Is eagerly awaited.t

MISUNDERSTANDING
ENGLISH RAILWAYS
Herbert Walker Has Dis
patched $4,000 Troop Trains.
(rrom tho Toronto Glohe.l

(From the Toronto Globe.)
Sir Herbert Walker, the general
manager of the London & Southwest
ern Railway. is the p,an who has made
England's railways of such great value
in the war.
1t IL no exaggeration to say that the
transportation Of troops to France
would have been impossible but for
the wonderful organizing abilities of
this expert.
As chairman of the railway execu-
tive committee, which now arranges
the whole work Of the railways under
government supervision all over the
kingdom. he is responsible for the safe
transport Of stores, ammunition and
food across to France, the convey
ance of vast quantities OF coal from
ports to inland towns and the enor-
nous work of keeping the whole of
the British Isles plentifully supplied
with the necessities of life.
Since the war no fewer than $4,000
special trains conveying troops have
been run on the London & South
western Railway, as well as $500 fully
equipped Red Cross trains, carrying
wounded. So wonderfully have these
cars been constructed that a serious
operation could actually be performed
willis the train was going at the rate
of 80 miles an hour.
Sir Herbert was originally intended
for the medical profession, but he pre-
ferred the engineering shop to the
| operating theatef He finally aban-
doned the idea OF becoming a doctor
| and entered the service of the London
& Northwestern Railway.
1t was not long before he gained rec
ognition, and in 1910 he was appointed
outdoor goods manager.
The offer of the high position 81
general manager of the London &
Southwestern Railway in 1910 caused
quite n flutter in railway circles.
| Sir Herbert Walker allows no slack
crs to be near him, but has every re-
spect for the energetic workman, anG
he is as willing to receive sound advice
as he is to give it.

HOME RULE FIGHT
SAME AS DEFEAT

London, March S.--Probably in view
Of the adjournment OF the debate and
the general ignorance as to the ulti-
mate Irish attitude. few papers COM
ment editorially on the situation. The
Liberal Press discusses the crisis in
the most serious terms and expresses
the fear that grave consequences will
follow. 1t declares among other things
that the situation which has arisen is
worth a victory in the field to Great
Britain's enemies.
The Chronicle and News complain
with bitterness against Premier
Lloyd Georges speech. especially in
regard to his insistence on the non CO.
ercion of Ulster. These papers say
that in Offering truncated Ireland the
premier was offering something the
Nationalsts could not possibly accept
and that since the offer could only ir-
ritate, it had better not have been
made.

sTUTsMAN PIONEER DIES

jamestown, Feb. 9.-The death of
Albert Monek, ST., pioneer resident
of Stutsman county and we'll known
citizen, occurred at 6:25 Thursday
morning after long illness caused by
heart trouble. He was SO years old.
He commenced to fail about two years
ago and for the past two weeks has
been confined to his bed. His demise
will be regretted by a large number
of friends and acquaintances over the
county. Albert Monek, ST., was born
in Berlin, Germany, in 1885. Forty
three years ago he emigrated with his
wife and four children to the United
States and six years later, or 80 years
ago, settled in Stutsman county, TAX
ing a claim south of Bloom where he
resided for many years with his fam
lily, thrifty and successful farmer,
helping develop the country during it's
pioneer days. In 1905 Mr.. MOnek re.
tired from active farming and removed
to Jamestown, with his home on South
Seventh avenue. His wife passed
away Jan. 80, 1914. Deceased is sur
vived by. nine children, A. A. Monek,
Mrs John Matchie and Mrs. Jos. Rip
pley and Martin and John Monek OF
Jamestown, Sister Stanislaus and Sis
ter Benedict of Duluth, Mrs. Clara
Majors, Canada; and Joseph Monek,
now in California. Albert Monek, Jr.,
is now also travelling in California and
it is doubtful if he can be located to
be notified at once. The funeral will
be held Saturday from St. James
Catholic church with burial at Calvary
cemetery.

LAWFUL PLEASURES
Editor Tribune, Bismarck, N. D.

Editor Tribune, Bismarck, N. D.
Dear Sir: l wish to state very
plainly that l have absolutely nothing
to do with "The Clergy's Protest" re-
garding some. changes of the present
Sunday laws. That protest" should
correctly be called "Some Clergymen's
Protest" but not "The Clergy's Pro-
test"
According to Christian principles,
held by the Catholic church., Sun
day is not only day devoted to rest
and religious service, but also a day
of recreation and lawful pleasures.
BY lawful pleasures l. mean pleas
ures not contrary to the laws of
God. Men, and especially young
men, need some recreation on Sun
day. Having fulfilled their religious
duties, they have a perfect right to en-
JOY themselves in any way which is
not kind of hard, servile work.
We should rather encourage than op-
pose entertainments which bring the
people out into the open air and offer
to them pure-minded and innocent
pleasures. I can, therefore, from the
religious standpoint, not see any rea-
sonable objection to Sunday baseball,
or even to hunting, provided those who
thus enjoy themselves have satisfied
their religious duties. l fear that
clergymen who work for the enforce
ment of Puritan Sunday laws will
thereby rather sinjure the cause of re-
ligion than foster it. Yours truly,
e Vincent Wehrle,
Bishop of Bismarck.

you CAN'T ESTIMATE SUCCESS
nv CASH

An editorial in the current issue OF
Farm and Fireside says
Money is a poor measure of men,
and unsatisfactory standard of success.
1t may be as false as a 30-inch yard,
stick, a seven-quart peck, or an H.
ounce pound. 1t may cause the most
selfish farmer, one who is in fact a
failure, to be looked upon as notable
success. So it is unfortunate that there
is no generally accepted standard by
which agricultural worth and success
may be reduced to and reckoned in
easily understood terms of value.
1T is exceedingly difficult adequate
ly to measure or guage countrywide
values. On the other hand, it is easy
to estimate, in terms generally under
stood, the number OF acres in field,
or to arrive at the weight of fat steer
or hog. Furthermore, who is there
who would presume to measure the
worth of high citizenship, of communi-
ty leadership, or to reduce to terms of
dollars and cents the glory of shade
trees, the beauty of valley and hill and
prairie, or of the wild flowers OF
springtime and autumn?
For the discouraged man or woman
on the farm, those whose accomplish
ments may not loom large when meas
ured in money or in the generally &C.
cepted terms of efficiency and success,
there may be causes for congratula-
ton. 1t is not always easy to separ.

SOME READABLE VERSE

Happy the man that, when his day is
done,
Lies down to sleep. with nothing to
regret
The battle he has fought may not be
ID won
The fame he sought be just as feet
ing yet;
Folding at last his hands upon his
breast,
Happy is he, if hoary and forespent,
He sinks into the last, eternal rest,
Breathing these only words: II am
content"
But happier he that, while his blood is
warm,
Sees hopes and friendships dead
about him lie
Bares his brave breast to envys bit
ter storm,
Nor shuns the poisoned barbs of
calumny;
And mid it all stands sturdy and
elate,
Girth only in the armor God hath
meant
For him who meath the buffetings of
fate
Can say to God and man: Il am con-
tent"
