WILLIE MURPHY
ONLY SEES IRISH"
Editor. Times-Record:

Editor, Ilmes-RecOrd:
While newspaper talk" hardly ever
settles any question, just at this time
one of the leading American maga-
zines is organizing board of 100 rep
resentative Americans to investigate
the Irish question and make a report
which will be published, it seems that
I your editorial in Friday evenings pa
per should not be considered a sum-
mary of the Irish situation. a.
You, in few sentences, state the
English view which is "We are ruling
Ireland and if our rule does not suit
you move." But may there not be an
Irish side to the question that should
be considered? s
Please allow me to state a few of
the Irish claims. Ireland was an in
dependent nation having a language
and literature and enjoying what was,
for the period, an advanced civiliza-
tion when the English conquered the
people some five hundred years ago.
England set up a government over the
Island and has continued to rule it
since that time tho the Irish people
have always protested. Under Eng
lish rule the population has been de-
creased nearly SO per cent, the man.
ufacturing industries driven out of
business, and two of the best harbors
in the world allowed to go to waste.
These losses being caused by unjust
oppression under the English law.
Here in North Dakota, some six
years ago faction gained control
of the republican party and through it
of the state government. But you and
many other good citizens did not clay
down" and agree that we should abide
by the government "as it is. "YQu
have kept up an agitation against the
government" because you did not
think it was the government that this
state should have-and I-believe that
your agitation will soon result in the
overthrow of the present regime; but
all of this time you have been one of
the minority in the state. In Ireland,
the majority Of the people are and
have been opposed to the government
for centuries. One of President Will
sons IA points-for which we went
into the world war was the "self de-
termination of peoples. Under the
settlement at Paris, Poland was re-
established and many other nations,
set up; countries that had been forced
into the German Empire were allowed
to decide by vote the government they
wished to have over them. But Eng
land was ruling Ireland and should be
allowed to do so.
Possibly, the mayor of Dublin has
adopted a fot-.,n method Of protest
against what he considers the unjust
rule in Ireland was thrown
into the lions den because he protest.
ed; Washington and his followers
were considered rebels by the English
at the time of our revolution but time
proved they were right in the end. Did
they make radicals or was their eff
fort for the best of the world?
Yours very truly,
WILLIE MURPHY.

GOLDEN WEDDING
ANNIVERSARY

Mr. and Mrs. TrubshaW had the
pleasure of attending on Tuesday eve
ming the golden wedding anniversary
of Mr.. and Mrs. r. G.. Cooper at
Cooperstown, N. D. There were pres
ent at this notable party about sixty
Of the old-time friends and former
neighbors Of the Coopers-peo who,
through the early pioneer days Of this
little city, had much to do together
as neighbors and friends in all walks
Of life The occasion was staged at
the splendid home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Cooper and conEisted of a niEely
carried out program of music, ETC., to-
gether with most appetizing lunch
con, but the best thing on the whole
program was the fact that so many
old time friends were present to ex-
tend to these worthy people hearty
congratulations for arriving at the
golden mile post in their married life.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cooper are pioneers in
that region going there before there
was scarcely settler on those broad
prairies. Mr.. Cooper was the leading
promoter of the Sanborn- Coopers-
town & Turtle Mountain railroad
now the Northern Pacific, which op-
ened up the country north of here.
This was built in 1883 and since that
time the country has filled up and de-
veloped.
In the social and church life Of
Cooperstown and Griggs county the
Coopers have played large part
giving of their support to church work
most literally and for all work that
needed help and financial support
along all lines they have aided most
literally and cheerfully. In the build
ing of the beautiful Masonic temple,
which is not only the pride Of the
city Of Cooperstown, but Of Masons
all over. the state, Mr.. and Mrs. Coop
er contributed the major part of the
finances to build this wonderful build
ing, which stands today as monu-
ment of their progressiveness and
love for the little progressive city
that bears the name of the founder Of
Cooperstown. In the pioneer days
when the Coopers lived on their ranch
and the country was new, that home
was the stopping place for many a
weary traveller who had taken a cou-
pie Of days to reach that point by
team from Sanborn before the iron
horse arrived with the modern mode
Of conveyance, and each and every
one received that genuine open heart
ed welcome that characterizes these
good friends whose golden wedding
we helped celebrate Tuesday night.
Large hearted and generous to a
fault that is the record of r. c.
Cooper. A splendid home building,
helpful lady in all walks of life, seek
ing to do good all the time, has been
the record of Mrs. Cooper. May they
both live long in the golden days Of
their lives to enjoy many more years
Of peace and happiness among their
friends.

HEIR TO THRONE
PAYS Y. c. VISIT

Embertson & West, Ford dealers il
this city, are feeling quite elated ovel
business and social call which they
received yesterday from Count
Royigno. The count is held in high
esteem in political circles in the ole
country, where he is heir to the Mon.
tenegrin throne. He is one Of these
progressive fellows that wants to SCI
things move. He decided to leav,
his home country for few years ane
study the social and civil conditions
existing in the United States. He has
been in this country about a yeal
now, and has been working at severa
different trades, both along agricul-
tural and mechanical lines. He has
picked up and studied the English Ian
guage enough since coming here, sc
thatyhe has gained fair control over
it, and can talk it quite fluently.
F. A. Markell, manager of the Ford
Motor Co., at Fargo accompanied the
count here. They intend to try their
hand at hunting along the road, be.
ing en- route to Bismarck, where big
Fordson tractor demonstration will
be held soon.
The count was very high in his
praise Of American methods of hand
ling agricultural problems, both from
a manual and scientific standpoint
and hopes to see hhis country adopt
the methods used by the farmers OF
the United States in farming. He is
especially loud in his praise Of power
farming, which is coming more and
more into it's own here in this state,
as well as the country nationally. The
count spent some time with the Ford
Motor Co., studying the methods used
in building the machine which they
put out. He also takes careful note
whenever possible, Of the condition Of
soils in the different states which he
has travelled over, and compares il
with the soil which is found in his
native country, and figures out the
possibility of raising different kinds
Of commodities in his country which
are practically unknown there.
He also likes the way the govern.
ment Of this country is run, and be.
lieves it big advantage over the old
autocratic methods Of government
which exist in some Of the old coun.
tries. He intends to 60 back to Mon
tenegrio and preach progressivenes:
to the people there, and attempt to put
tba eounry on governmental basis the
same as now exists in the United
States. 8.
In honor Of their guest, Embertsor
and West put on little dinner party
at the Rudolf Cafe Wednesday, al
which several guests were present, in
cluding the manager Of large dis'
company in the east, as well as off
cials of the local Ford agency.
The count and his party left las'
evening, and will stop for while II
Bismarck, and gradually work west
until they reach the coast.

CAPITAL CITY NEWS

Bismarck, N. D., Sept. 16.-The
three nonpartisan league members OF
the North Dakota supreme court have
reversed themselves. In their remit
titur handed down following the trial
of the test case on the constitutio
ity Of the Brinton Grab Act newspaper
trayesty, the three league members
ordered the case dismissed. This ac-
cording to attorneys for the North Da-
kota Press Association was equal to
q victory but the remittitur has now
been called back, the wording declar-
ed ia. be mistake and decision rem
dered in favor of Tim DAILY OF Lelth
who brought action to force the Grant
county commissioners to print the
proceedings in the league newspaper.
F. w. Cathro, director general OF
the State Bank of North Dakota, has,
if the information contained in non
partisan league newspapers can be
believed, made good his threat to open
the bank to individual depositors.
League newspapers this week carried
a report Of individual deposits total
ing several thousand day received,
including one from as far away as
Australia (where Walter Thomas
Mills came from). Cathro in recent
letter declared that If state bankers
did not cease attacking the state bank
(which has never been examined) and
did not cease calling it q political ma
chine, he would accept individual de-
posts.

Fortune Telling by Bones.

1t Is strange that in the Transvaai
the belief in Kaflir doctors and their
wizardry has not died out. Nearly ev-
cry old kaffir has always with him q
rag OF bones-knuckles. and joints Of
animals. With these he pretends to
be able to foretell the future. He
throws the "dolos. as they are called.
and then reads out the omens. Should
white man wish to confer with the
oracle, he must throw the bones him
self. Many white men firmly believe
in the ability of the Kaffir doctor to
cure them from sundry Ms, and in
Rhodesia there have been many cases
where the Kafflr doctors have saved
whites from the ravages Of the terrible
levers that rage there. In addition to
coping successfully with toothache and
other ills
