IRISH CONVENTION
BEGINS EFFORT
FOR HOME RULE

DUBLIN, July 25.-Ninety-odd Irish
men met behind closed doors here
today to undertake settlement ofNthe
Irish question. The meeting repre-
scented the most striking effort ever
made to dispose Of that TO0-year-old
issue and is believed to offer greater
hope than any previous one, since II
is in the hands of the Irish themselves.
Great crowds massed around
Trinity College to watch the gather
ing OF the conference. Some Of the
delegates attended a special service
at st. Andrews church.
Slim FeIn Not Represented.
The convention includes represen-
tatives OF the Irish Nationalists, I'm
ionists OF Ulster. Unionists OF Mum
ster, local governing bodies, churches
Catholic aud Protestant). commercial
interests, and educational Institutions.
II does not include Sim Feiners, in
dependent Nationalists or Socialists,
but Is nevertheless regarded as ex-
ceptionally representative of Ireland.
The delegates hope to come out of
their meeting several weeks hence
with q constitution that will be ac-
cepted by Ireland and Britain. Premier
Lloyd George has declared any rea-
sonable one will be accepted by Eng
land.
Ulster. as always, constitutes the
point of main difference. listers
delegates insist that their. counties
must be excluded from any home
rule parliament proposition. The
are not disposed to con-
slider any proposal for dividing Ire
land, and think II will. be possible
to show Ulster that home rule will
not mean domination of Protestant
Ireland by Catholic Ireland.
Quiet Meeting Not Expected
But nobody in Dublin had any ex-
pectation that the meeting opened
today by H. E. Duke. chief secretary
for Ireland, and temporary chairman,
would prove an untroubIed, peaceabIe
affair.

Brevity Of a Dream.

One evening Victor Hugo was dictat-
ing letters to his secretary. Overcome
by fatigue, the great man dropped into
a slumber. A few moments afterward he
awoke, haunted by a dream which, as
he thought, had extended over several
hours, and he blamed his secretary for
sitting there waiting for him instead
of Weakening him or else going away.
What was his surprise when the be-
wildered secretary told him that he
had only just finished writing the last
sentence dictated to him and that Hugo
could have been doing only for few
seconds.

Insects Are Curious.

In many ways the structure Of in
sects is wonderful. They are gifted
with muscles of extraordinary strength
and are yet destitute of bones to which
those muscles can be attached. They
possess a circulatory system and are
without a heart. They perform acts
involving the exercise Of certain men
tai qualities and are without brain.
But more remarkable still, they breathe
atmospheric air without the aid OF
lungs. If we take any moderately large
insect, say wasp or hornet, we can
see even with the naked eye that a
series Of small spotlike marks run
along either side Of the body. These
apparent spots, which are generally
eighteen or twenty in number, are In
fact the apertures through which the
air is admitted into the system and are
usually formed in such manner that
no extraneous matter can by any pos
sibility find entrance.

The Man Who Thinks.

A man with dirty face and hands,
shirt soaked with perspiration, stopped,
laid down his dinner bucket, rolled a
broken knuckle out Of the pathway be-
tween the tracks, put it close up against
the ends of the ties, where no one could
stumble over it, picked up his dinner
bucket and plodded home.
More than fifty other employees had
preceded this man, each one carefully
picking his way around the obstruction.
1 asked this man why he took the
trouble to roll the knucEle out Of the
pathway. He seemed surprised at such
a question and said, "Why, some Of the
boys might get bad fall if that knuc-
kle was there after dark" said, Cali
the other men passed it by" and he re-
piled: "Oh, they're all good boys.
They'd have done the same thing If
they'd thought about it,
He said something, didn't he?
IF they'd thought about it, All,
yes, eff they'd thought about it."-Erie

Let nothing be done to disturb or to
embarrass our people or their business.

Not a hasty or radical act should be

PROF. F. o. HOLT, superintendent of
the Edgerton schools, is credited with
delivering one of the most inspiring
speeches at the loyalty meeting held at
GAINESVILLE Friday evening. ut might
be believed" declared Mr.. Holt, "that
the calling of this meeting infers that
there is lack of patriotism among the
people. This is not so; it has been in
stilled into our youths and lies there
latent to spring up when needed ito do
or to die But let us view ourselves in
the light of our own great advantages
today. Our honor is due to the heroes
of Lexington and Bunker Hill and
Charlottesville, but it is also due to
the brave men and women of common
life, the hardy pioneers of the early
days who pushed our frontier ever on
ward and who reared in it's wake the
truly American institutions which our
honor demands we defend. The present
American has been evolved through the
blood and sweat of those who fought
the enemy of nature, who battled the
wilderness OF The early days; and to us
has been brought through all this fight
a nature that will make us rise as one
voice against our enemy German blood
flows in my veins and | respect the
German people. but we must realize
that certain things are not debatable;
patriotism is one Of these. There is no
such thing as neutrality between right
and wrong. The most contemplate of
sins is cowardice. Righteousness comes
before peace, and peace should go only
with justice. Justice is not with peace
any longer and patriotism demands we
defend righteousness"

to express the emperor's satisfaction.
There was only one criticism to make
would the professor be SO kind as to
paint more distinctly the buttons on

vaguely? Lenbach looked at him a

SOME congressman are little indig-
nant at the supreme court for going
outside of it's functions in the Adamson
decision and pointing out the right of
congress to regulate labor; in fact, its
authority to enact compulsory arbitra-
ton. This is what the lawyers call
obiter dicta, and it was by just such
means the supreme court put out the
first declaration of its rights to nullify
the acts of congress. Naturally, Com
pers and the labor leaders are greatly
alarmed over the ruling, and Gompers
in his public criticisms of the court has
come very close 10, if he has not sub
jected himself to, contempt proceed
ings. The way now pointed out, it is
feared a bill for compulsory arbitration
will be brought before congress, and
between the power of the railroads and
the labor organizations, congress is
most likely to side with the railroads.

THE people must pay; they always
have; they always wilt. It is not sur
prising that Immediately after the SUI
preme court announced it's decision
upholding the Adamson eight-hour wage
increase monstrosity the railroads
should ask an increase in rates. They
have petitioned the interstate COM
merce commission for raise of from
10 to Is per cent. They will doubtless
be granted an increase-if not they
have just cause for grievance against
the administration at least for did not
Mr.. Wilson glibly promise it to them in
his plea for the eight-hour law? If
Wilson does not deliver the railroad
heads might sue him for getting votes
in November by use of false pretense.
The eight-hour outrage. passed on pres
idential order by Mr.. Wilson's congress
and upheld by Mr.. Wilson's supreme
court, it is figured out by experts in
these matters it will cost the railways
from $50, 600, 900 to 500, 900, 900 addi-
tional wages per year. To meet this
additional expense, they must have
more money; they can pay out only
what comes in from the public service;
they sell only transportation-hen it
is inevitable that every wage raise
must be met by an increase in the cost
of transportation unless volume so in
creases permanently that they can
stand the additional drag and get by
receiverships or by cutting out entirely
the interest return on capital invested.
Hence it comes about that the users of
ransportation-the public C must pay
for the increase. The 100 odd million
must pay the freight in order that
100000 of the highest paid workers the
railroad companies had before this law
was passed may be paid still more
