THE IRISH QUESTION.

The everlasting Irish question is
causing the British government al
most as much worry and annoyance
as the war with Germany. Lloyd
George, the present British premier,
with the consent of the leaders of
both the Liberal and Conservative
parties, would willingly at once give
Ireland the largest measure of home
rule if the Irish people themselves
were agreeable: But the Protestant
minority distrusts the Catholic MAORI
ty, and vehemently declare that home
rule means Rome rule, and they will
have none of it.
There are intelligent Protestant and
Catholic Irishmen who deeply deplore
the religious bigotry that exists in
that unhappy island, but they are pow
erless to remedy the evil.
Eventually home rule measure
may be framed that will be acceptable
to both the Protestants and Catholics
of Ireland, but the task seems almost
impossible Of accomplishment at pres

"A good thing to bear in mind-the first shot
fired in the war between the United States
and Germany fred by a German SUBJ
marine. It was launched against U. S.
warship, but missed its mark.-Mapleton En-
terprise T.
So far so good. But bear in mind
that this first shot story has been
officially denied, accompanied by the
statement that, no German U-boats
are at present on our Atlantic coast.
st. Peter Free Press. - .~.....~
Well, what of it? Isn't it fact
that Germany fired the first shot Of
the war when the .Lusitania went
DOWN. And isn't it also a fact that
over 800 Of our citizens had been muir
dered as a result of Prussian ruth
lessness before congress recognized
that state of war existed? Then,
too, it is interesting to note that even
the imperial government did not have
the impudence to endeavor to excuse
it's hostile acts of frightfulness against
this country on the grounds that this
government had been unneutral. But
with expediency, and necessity, the
tyrant's plea, excused its .devilish
Deeds"

An article from the Iron Trade Re-
view, reproduced in the columns of the
Grand Rapids Herald-Review, tells of
the great advantages to be derived
from the washing and benefciation of
iron ores. The process not only gives
a higher grade of ore but great saw
ing in freight is effected, for the
silica and other foreign material is
eliminated. The royalty on state
owned ore is so low, however, Is cents
per ton, that it would be manifestly
unfair to permit the operators of state
mines to pay royalty for the con-
centrates that would reduce the roy
atty for ore in it's natural condition
below rs cents per ton. =. -,

The Northwest Farmstead wisely
cautions it's readers to await devel-
opments in North Dakota before
affiliating with the Farmers Non
partisan league, and calls attention to
the fact that in South Dakota, where
there is no league, the general feeling
is that the legislature did better by
the public than in North Dakota. An
other point is covered as follows:
Whether the state can assemble and
distribute farm products so as to net
farme rs more and cost consumers less
than by the present system, can be
told only by trying it. The experiment
will be interesting, and if a majority
want to try it, why not let 'em? Why
not let North Dakota prove whether
this is a good or bad plan before try
ing it in other states?

Our sympathetic contemporary, the
Anoka Herald, regrets "the wane of
R. C. Dunn's power and his weather
vane voting" at the recent session of
the legislature. Save your regrets,
Mr.. Herald. Probably Dunn has as
much to his credit as some of the
other senators who in the Herald's
opinion are. all powerful. Dunn has
never posed as a ''boss," and certainly
he has never taken orders from any
political "boss," big or little, and,
furthermore, he never will.

AN UNTRUE ASSERTION.

The public domain bill would have
placed the states vast mineral and
timber resources virtually under the
control of one man, had the measure
been adopted by the legislature last
week.-Cambridge Independent-Press.
Either the editor Of the Independent
Press is guilty Of willful misrepresen-
tation or he has not read the bill and
does not know whereof he writes. The
amended public domain bill provided
that the timber and mineral business
of the state should be handled by COM
missioners appointed by the governor,
and expressly provided that the state
auditor should have experts to check
up the work Of the governors ap-
pointees; furthermore, as far as state
timber was concerned, the auditor
would have been obliged to check scale
every foot Of timber sold, and his scale
would have governed.
The public domain bill, as amended
in the house, specifically provided a
double check on every timber and min
eral transaction of the state, and that
is what some Of the interested parties
did not want, and is the real reason
why the bill was defeated in thessen-
ate. There were powerful and con-
vincing "arguments"-but they were
not made on the floor of the senate
employed to defeat the bill. The same
kind Of arguments" were used to de-
feat the tonnage tax bill.

At last that lecherous Minneapolis
scoundrel, Joseph w. Bragdon, is be-
hind the bars in the state prison at
Saltwater. The supreme court decided
that he had had a fair trial and re-
fused to reopen the case. Bragdon
imagined that his money would save
him. But Minnesota has supreme
court that money or politics does not
influence. Bragdon is now where he
belongs and where he should remain
at least five years.

Praise for the Legislature.

The legislature has adjourned. It
was one of the most progressive we
have ever had. Some good laws were
passed and some poor ones were
amended. On the whole, the legisla-
ture is entitled to much credit. 1t was
not controlled by the interests and not
run by the politicians. The regretable
feature is that large number of
naeritorious bills Of minor Importance
never reached a vote.-Springfeld
Free-Press.

Entirely Too Fresh.

Sometimes members of congress
boast that they are better judges of
public sentiment than are the sena-
tors, because they come "fresh from
the people" The trouble; with the
present congress is that they have too
many "fresh" members: The senate
is behaving much better and is exhib-
iting a more patriotic spirit.-St.

a Bouquet for Warner.

Hon. Charles II. Warner does not
stand high in the estimation Of some
Of the Duluth silk-stocking bunch,
parasites of the steel trust. All the
same Mr.. Warner was one of the most
valuable and efficient members of the
late legislature, and he not only looked
after the interests of his own district.
but any measure that was fair and
just always commanded his support.
The Grand Rapids Herald Review
hands Mr.. Warner this handsome and
well-merited bouquet: g
Representative c. H. Warner is en-
titled to a vote of thanks from the
people Of Itasca county. =
"Bill No. 588, senate file, was an i'm
portant legislative measure to Itasca
county. It was important, because
its passage meant a saving of great
many thousand dollars to our tax
payers, while its failure to pass in
volved district court expenses incurred
by litigants of other counties that
would be charged up to and paid by
Itasca. Prior to the passage of bill
No. z588 on any case taken from one
county to another for trial, on a change
of venue, the full expense thereof was
chargeable to the county in which the
action was tried, Notwithstanding the
legal residence of the litigants and all
else involved might belong to another
county. Itasca county has had some
expensive experience because of the
existence Of this unjust law and was
threatened with considerable more Of
it. The taxpayers of Itasca were
naturally much concerned in the pass
age of an act that would cure the evil.
"Quite early in the session bill was
prepared which provides that the
county from which any action is
brought for trial in another shall pay
all expenses thereof. In the closing
hours Of the late legislature it was dis
covered that bill No. 588 had been lost
in the house after passing the senate.
It was buried under an avalanche of
bills and could not possibly be reached
in the regular order before adjourn
ment. The house member from Itasca
county knew nothing of the measure
he didn't know it had been intro
duced. Ex-senator D. M. Gum went
to st. Paul to see what might be done
in the interest of this county. He ap-
pealed to C. H. Warner of Aitkin, who
got busy, secured the suspension of
the rules, advanced the measure over
several hundred that stood in it's way
and secured it's passage" +:

St. Paul last week-a woman was shot

In less than an hour after the police

who actually fired the fatal shots will
be behind prison bars within day or
two. St. Paul has a chief of police in

ROOSEVELT AT CHICAGO. 81

An immense audience greeted Theo-
dore Roosevelt at Chicago last Satur-
day evening, where he delivered an elo-
quent and fiery address on the war in
Europe and the part the United States
should take in it. He pleaded for
prompt action and hoped he would be
permitted to lead division of Ameri-
can troops in France. HeSstirred the
blood Of his listeners andathe telling
points in his speech were wildly APP
plauded. He made an especial appeal
to men Of German origin in these
words:
''Twice we have fought Great Brit
ain; and in each case the immense ma
jority Of our citizens of British origin
were undoubtedly loyal to the United
States. And now, when we fight Ger
many, I know I utter the sentiments
of the immense majority Of my fellow
citizens Of German origin, when I say
that their undivided allegiance is given
to the Stars and Stripes and to the
nation for which the banner stands. I
appeal especially to the defendants Of
those heroes of liberty, the Germans
Of '48. We battle now for freedom
and justice in exactly the spirit of the
men of 48, who so valiantly stood
against tyranny. Z:
IF I am allowed to raise the divi-
sion for which have asked, I most
earnestly hope that it will have as
large a proportion as possible Of
Americans who are in whole or like
myself, in part, Of German blood. The
other day I was with the head of the
war college at Washington, General
Kuhn. He is of pure German blood,
his father and his mother being born
in Germany. But he is an American,
and nothing else! I would welcome
the chance, if I am allowed to raise
division, to serve with that division
under him at the front; and I would
ask no favor of any kind save thus to
serve with him and to be judged on my
merits by him for my service. In
similar fashion, would gladly serve
under General Barry, who is with you
here in Chicago, and who is Of Irish
parentage; or under General PERISH
ing, or of course with deep enthusiasm
under my old friend and commander,
General Leonard Wood, who like
Pershing is Of revolutionary stock; or
under any other men of the same type.
Each Of the men I have named has
held my commission when ]. was presi-
dent; and I would like nothing more
at the close Of my career, than the
chance to serve under one Of them or
under any other officer Of their type.
They differ in blood and in creed
among themselves and from me. But
they and I are Americans and nothing
else. Our lives are actuated by the
same principle Of honor, and our I'M.
divided loyalty is given to thssame
flag. =. /, 81
