Suppose that somebody has
he lped himself to a small collection
of beans more than he can store
away with comfort. What. pray,
shall be done with this small COL
lection of beans? Shall they be
placed back in the dish from which
they were first taken, probably for
some other member of the family
to get hold of next meal, or shall
they be rushed to the postoffice and
mailed to the Allies? The article
is not clear as to that, probably
thinking such circumstance i'm
possible under the theory of The
Clean Plate"
So theories Co. Many of them
fall fiat when tried out. Every
practical, sensible man and woman
knows it is impossible to rear a
family without waste. and a con-
siderable waste at that, in food
stuffs. 1t is no doubt true that
many people are needlessly waste
full. But that fault will not be cor
rected by such a great waste of
words as is contained in The Clean
Plate"

THE CLEAN PLATE

One OF the country s ledulne ilide-
azines for July contains an extend
"a article from the pen of a well
known writer, who essays to tell
those who cannot 60 to war how
they may serve their country any

prevent waste, and was called The
Clean Plate" Briefly stated, the
burden of the mans message was
that no person should leave any,
thing on his plate after the meal is
over, with the possible exception of
the Knife and fork, 1t was urged
that everybody take just as much

Such articles as The Clean Plate"

TACOMA WANTS
IRISH Independence
TACOMA HELD A GREAT IRISH
MEETING, MRS. HANNA SHEEHY
SkEFFINGTON WAS SPEAKER
OF THE EVENING"

On Thursday evening, August 9Th,
the people of Tacoma, without regard
to racial or other differences, turned
out in large numbers to honor Mrs.
Hanna Sheehy Skefington. Mrs.
Skefington's lecture was announced to
take place on that evening at the Ia
coma Theater, it's subject being What
I Know About British Militarism."
From an early hour the crowds sur
rounded the theater. When Mrs. Skef-
fington appeared on the platform the
theater was filled, and round after
round of applause greeted her. AS the
lecture proceeded she was repeatedly
interrupted by renewed applause;
and while many of her audience
among the ladies especially were
moved to tears by her terrible recital,
there was displayed also much quiet
mirth and laughter at her displays of
wit and humor, of the real Irish va
riety.
The meeting was presided over by
Mr.. Michael Dowd, one of Tacoma's
leading lawyers, whose speech intro
ductory of Mrs. Skef1ngton was at
once eloquent and pathetic. At the
close of the meeting Mrs. Skeffington
held reception on the stage which
was participated in by practically all
of her audience.
The following resolutions were pre-
scented by Mr.. M. ]. Costello of Seattle,
and were adopted by a rising unani-
nous vote:
WHEREAS, the only government
now in Ireland sanctioned by the mass
of the people of that countryside Pro-
visional Government of the Irish Re-
public-has through it's duly accerdit-
ed representative, appealed to the gov
eminent and people of the United
States for their active support of the
demand Of the Irish people for Abso-
lutte Independence;
AND WHEREAS, the Joint Resolu-
ton offered in the House of Repre-
sentatives by the Honorable VIM. E.
Mason, formerly Senator and now Con-
gressman-at-large from the State of
Illinois, is designed to accomplish in
a practical and efficient manner the
object of that appeal;
! AND WHEREAS, it has been an
nounced through the public press, on
the authority of the Chairman Of the
Committee of Foreign Affairs of the
House of Representatives, to which
said Joint Resolution has been re-
ferred, that the same, not being a war
measure, will not be reported to the
House without direct instructions
from the Notwithstanding
thereby presumably the Executive De-
partment Of our National Government;
NOW THEREFORE, BE 1T RE-
SOLVED that we Citizens of the Unit
ed States and of the State of Wash
ington in public meeting assembled in
the City of Tacoma on this 9th day
Of August, 1917, do hereby petition
the Congress of the United States for
an early and favorable report on said
Joint Resolution; and we do hereby
respectfully urge upon the represen-
tatives Of this State in the Congress
to take such action separately and
collectively as will secure such re-
port, and it's adoption by both houses.
AND BE 1T FURTHER RESOLVED,
that we respectfully and earnestly
urge upon the President of the United
States that he may recommend to
the Committee on Foreign Affairs that
the Joint Resolution in question shall
be reported favorably at the earliest
practicable moment.

dependence, in an article in the Gen.
fury Magazine" February, 1916, said:
when peace comes, Ireland, with
the other small nations, will stand at
the door Of the peace conference and
will claim her rights from the com.
munity of nations. Shall peace bring
freedom to Belgium and Poland, and
perhaps to Finland and Bohemia, and
not to Ireland? Must Irish freedom
be gained in blood, or will the com
munity of nations, led by the United
States, shame weakened England in
to putting into practice at home the
principle which we so loudly trumpet
ed for the benefit of Germany"
"a solution that frees Belgium from
Germany and leaves Ireland vassal
at the mercy of Great Britain would
be stain upon the honor of America. >
The Russian. ambassador to this
country is reported to have said the
other day at Humboldt park that:
'The Russian revolution and the en-
trance Of the United States into the
war have made clear the object and
aims Of the contest. 1t is the aim Of
the democraoies of the world to es
tablish the future life of nations or
the basis of liberty, to give independ
ence and safety to all nations based
on the unquestionable right of eact
nation to define its own destinies.''

believe we have right to so petition
Congress and I also believe that Con-
gress should be with us.
This resolution has been given con-
siderable publicity and has been read
and debated almost everywhere in the
United States, by the sincere men of
our race and they are anxious for some
action by Congress. If it did nothing
more than to call the attention of the
American people to this very live and
important question near and dear to
the hearts of all of us and arouse an
interest, that now appears general, In
the courage and hopes, the trials and
sufferings of the people of Ireland,
feel that it has been of some benefit
to our cause.
Soon after the introduction of my
resolution large and important meet
ing was held in the Sherman House,
this city. It was attended by many OF
the most representative Irish citizens
of Chicago. As a result of the meet.
ing a committee was appointed to 60
to Washington to request that the Com
-mittee on Foreign Affairs report to the
Congress of the United States, a reso'
luton calling upon Great Britain to
grant Ireland her rights and liberties
by permitting her to establish an
Irish Republic, and secure, If possible
action by Congress, on such reso
luton.
