AMERICA is INTERESTED.


English officialdom is reported to
be very wrathy because America
evinces more than a passing interest
in the Irish cause az this time Even
the Chicago Tribune. that few
months ago insisted that the Irish
question should be kept away from
America. is forced to admit that we
have now an Irish problem here in
America. and it intimates that our
Irishmen are just as persistent, our
Irish question Just as firmly rooted
and its chances of longevity just as
promising as in England.
"If England wants to know how
all this stir came about" it says, sit
has only to refer to the theory of
the guaranteed integrity of race
The Irish are race and they claim
nobody has guaranteed them any
thing except English rule. They
want their Independence warranted.
They allege that warranty has been
promised. The longer 1t Is denied
the longer it will complicate English
and American politics. The home
rule bill has been tabled again.
There has been reiteration OF the
policy that Ulster must not be CO.

Several years ago the relay was
again at stake. The meet had been q
tiresome and wearing affair. When
it came to picking the four quarter
milers to represent Missouri, Schultz
discovered that he had three quarter
milers and one dash man who had
survived the wreck sufficiently to run
again. ItlOOked foolish for a 100-yard
