THE DAY WE (sHouLD> CELEBRATE

In all the great centers of America preparat;ons
are actively going forward for beat-all-records
celebration of ST. Patricks Day of this year. It is
high time for action in this direction in the Twin
Cities. We cannot afford to let this momentous
period in the history of Erin pass without due and
hitting observance of the anniversary of the great
Irish apostle who has indeed become the patron
saint of nearly all mankind so universal are the
tributes paid to him.
We quote from the Butte Independent an appeal
TO the people OF that city in behalf of the demonstra-
on that is to take place there which equally applies
to the situation here:
Owing to the crisis which the election and assem-
ping OF the Sim Fein Parliament in Ireland has
brought about, every possible effort of the committee
IN charge OF the arrangements is being put forth
with the idea and the determination Of eclipsinp
an previous observances of the national holiday.
1t is hoped that whatever the differences of Irish
men in the past might have been, that now when
the Motherland is emerging to the Liberty and the
lnoependence tor which she has sacrificed so much
during the terrible ordeal of her enforced connec-
ton with England, that these differences, always
trivial and never fundamental, may be forgotten in
tace OF that better day, which under the guiding
providence OF God and the magnificent courage Of
ing tor the Old Land. All over the country Irish
men are closing their ranks and working harmon
lously for the greatest ST. Patricks Day Celebration
winch ever took place in America. 1t surely is not
LOO Hucn TO nope that the Irish people here will do
likewise, and thus convince the enemies of Ireland
by the strength and the orderliness of our demon
strat1on that capable of rising above the
squal!d petty factionism which is at once the bane
and the curse of the Irish character "Shame on us
1eountrymen shame on us ALL if in this glorious
hour OF our country's career, it will be said of us
that we lrlshmen and women could not subordinate
our little petty personal quarrels and vanties to

1t would be inspiring to the home coming fighting

thus slgnally honored, and we dislike to think of
rade as Colonel Donahue suffered at the civic polls

desirable to have at least in the egis-
experience the needs of the soldiers and sailors in

emlneny qualified to stand as such representative
now before the voters of the 34th senatorial dis
trlet. Will they set aside for the time being all
petty differences of politics and rise to the level of
the splendid occasion that confronts them? With
the memory of the great victory of America still
fresh IN their minds we believe that they will not
tan to show by their ballot marks their appreciation
OF one who has spared no sacrifice to make that
victory possible.

about three thousand he came off with 745 votes
