RIVER DENIS
FAVOR O'CONNOR
FOR ~GOVERNORSHIP

Park River Democrats have en-
dorsed ]. F. T. O'Connor of Grand

cording to resolutions received here.
AL. F. T. O'Connor for Governor"
has been formed with the fol-
lowing officers: c. j.. Mclaughlin,

and George Coulter, treasurer.
The resolutions follow:
Whereas, we are about to enter

attract the support of all good citi-
zens, and who, If elected, could give
to he state an administration which

In its boundaries.
w believe that Hon. j. +. T.
O'Connor of Grand Forks is the best
OF his knowledge Of the needs of our
state, gained through a residence
since territorial days and during the
four last sessions of the state legisla-
ture. And further because, he, was
raised on a farm and understands
the needs of the farmers, and further
because OF his education gained in
our common schools and state suni-
versity and at Yalc>college, together
with more than 10 Years in the prac-
tice of law which qualities him for

OF IRELAND.

The other day, in the United States
senate, there was introduced as an
amendment to the peace treaty rati-
fication resolution a statement declar-
ing without qualification for the prin-
ciple of self-determination, followed
by a declaration in favor of IN indie
pendent government for Ireland, Of
the peoples own choosing, and the
admission of Ireland as a member of
the League Of Nations. That resolu-
ton was adopted by a small major
ity vote. the affirmative votes being
cast chiefly by Democratic support
ers of the presidents demand that the
treaty should be ratified without
change Of a syllable, and by some
dozen Republicans who have been
conspicuous for their opposition to
any League of Nations on any terms
whatever.
Immediately on the passage of
the resolution a Mr.. de Valera, who
styles himself president of the Irish
republic, and who has been campaign
ing in this country for funds for the
support OF the Irish separatist move
ment. issued a statement in which he
exulted over the recognition of the
About the time that the gentleman
was expressing his gratitude, the
same senator's who had voted to tie
the Irish resolution onto the treaty
were voting against the treaty with
the resolution attached. 1t may be
that Mr.. de Valera is less sophisticat-
ed than one would expect the pres
ident Of a nation to be. But, If he
accepted hat resolution as being orr
dered in good faith, he was probably
the only person in the United States
h did. Everybody else knew that
the resolution was offered as a part
of the political game which was being
played with the treaty, and that the
men who voted for it in the first place
intended to vote against it on final
passage, as they did.
Ireland has been described as a
"distressful' country. Not the least
of her misfortunes is that her affairs
have been made the playthinz of pet
ty politics in this country. Men who
have cared no more for Ireland than
for the planet Mars have simulated a
solicitude for her which has been ex-
pressed in Industrious efforts to cor
raj the Irish vote, and. in the case
under consideration. the effort was
made to use a certain Irish sentiment
as the instrument with which to play
politics with a peace treaty upon
whose completion the whole world
waits with anxiety.
AS to the merits Of the resolution
itself-it has none The relations of
the United States with Great Britain
are with the British Empire as now
constituted. The principle of SELF
determination has been reduced to
an absurdity by the use to which it
has beer put. The future of Ulster
cannot be determined without refer
ence to the rest of Ireland, and the
future of Ireland must be considered
in relation to the empire Of which
Ireland is a part. For a foreign
country to undertake to decide in
such a case is an impertinence; and
the impertinence is not at all lessen
ed by the manifest TACT that the ac.
ton taken was insincere.

How's the little chap to know
Just the proper roads to go,
If you never travel with him
While he's little, hand in hand?
How's he ever going to learn
Just what corners not to turn
II You never try to tell him
So h a he can understand?
Who will watch him daily. nightly.
Who will take the time to show him
Just the things he ought to do?
Will some stranger or a neighbor
Take upon himself the labor l
Which the Lord above intended
As a duty, just for you?
Is it safe to trust another.
Even though he be your brother,
To the molding of his future?
Can you watch him come and go,
Can o &c on money-making
Without thought Or trouble taking
To discover if he's learning
Just the things you'd have him know?
There's no fortune worth his splendor
Or his youthful days and tender,
There's no goal SO bright with glory
Which Is worth his happiness;
He's your hope Of Joy tomorrow,
AS you'll find out to your sorrow
If you let him wander from you
While you seek your own success.
Let the fame and money go,
Teach him what he ought to know,
You will find a greater glory
Than the selfish seeker can;
Shape his mind and soul to beauty,
God has given you his duty
And your age shall glow with gladness
When your boy becomes a man.
