introduction by the Hon. John w. Golf.
1t is a 44S-page volume, with 'front.'
ispiece portrait of p. II. Pearse, First
President of the Irish Republic"
One Of the important points urged
by Mr.. Jones is that the Sim Fein is
neither Il secret OathbOund society nor
an order given to advocacy of revolu-
ton by force. He does insist how
ever that the Irish Republicans had
no option but to rise or submit to
disarmament, defeat and disgrace and
the surrender of all those thing they
hold in sacred trust from their faith
ers before Them The policy of the
Sim Feiners, as expressed in their
own printed form, is one of national
development in education, industry,
commerce, finance and administration
by movements originating from with
in the country. They do not look
outside Ireland for the accomplish
ment of their aims"
Mr.. Jones writes in glowing terms
of the rebellion and it's martyrs. He
has faith that the nation which tast-
ed once more, if for only a week, the
power Of freedom, will carry on the
fight till the Green, White and Orange
flies in triumph over free and in
dependent Irish Republic"

NATIONAL PRESIDENT OF THE
ANCIENT ORDER OF HIBERN.
IANC IN r0AcDecc


Honorable Joseph Mclaughlin, Ma
tlonal President of the Ancient Order
OF Hibernians in America, is now
member of the national legislature,
being Congressman-at-large from
Pennsylvania to the 65th Congress.
Mr.. Mclaughlin has had a most in
teresting career. He was born in
Burt, County Donegal, in June, 1867,
and came to America in his 22nd year,
bringing a transfer card from the A.
q. H. in Ireland in 1889. Almost from
the beginning of his life in America
ne became an aggressive and con-
spicuous member of the Order. He
was energetic in organizing Divisions;
was elected County President of
Philadelphia; State President of
Philadelphia; State President of
Pennsylvania, and during his admins
tration Of these offices he visited hun
dreds of Divisions, inspiring, planning,
contributing from his private re-.
sources, offering prizes for excellence
, in Irish history; and for the organi-
cation of Divisions-and oftentimes
succeeding where others had failed
He commenced life in America as a
laborer in Baldwin's Locomotive
Works, being ready to turn his hand
to manual tasks, and no hardship de-
tered him. He became a skilled
mechanic; rose to foreman of his
shop; saved his money and went into
business. He gave himself untiringly
to good causes; became an investor
in mercantile enterprises; a holder
of stocks and bonds,-and now, while
yet in his most vigorous years, with
keen mind, warm heart and a daunt-
less spirit, he-is member of Con-
gress, and still in the forefront of the
battleline of Hibernianism, eager and
able to advance the cause of his
mOtherland and his fellowman
There is a lesson for every young
man in the life of Joseph Mclaughlin.
1t is that success and honor can be
won by swerveless course, relying
upon no accident of fortune, but upon
merit, industry and will power.
The Ladies' Auxiliary to the A. o.
H. in the District of Columbia, pre-
scented Mr.. Mclaughlin with a large
basket of roses, when he was sworn
in as a representative.
