p. H.. RahiIly, of Lake City, This
State, Now ss, Contributes $500 to
the Irish Cause and Extends Words
Of Cheer to the Irish Leader.
The following letter from that tried
and true veteran of many battle,
political and otherwise, in Minnesota,
recently appeared in the columns of
the Wabasha Herald, his home county
paper. 1t will be read with interest
by all our readers.
Lake City, Feb. 10, 1920.
My Dear De Valera:
To you, the trusted representative
of the Irish people, send the en-.
closed check for five hundred dollars
as my contribution to the Irish Ma
tional Loan.
Eighty-eight years ago, l was born
in wheatfield within six miles of
the treaty stone of Limerick, Ireland.
l have lived here on my farm the past
sixty-six years.
The enemies of irish liberty will
understand that citizens of Irish blood
and lineage in America will stand by
the Irish Republic as long as there is
a red coat in Ireland. Americans are
asked to support the efforts of the
people of Ireland to maintain the al
ready established republic of Ireland,
because 1t is an American principle to
uphold freedom, wherever freedoms
banner flies. One cannot be real
American and deny any nation the
right to independence. and its people
the freedom which only a republic can
provide. II the British of 1776 could
have arrested Maryland's great pa.
triot, Jorn Carroll Of Carrollton, that
lover of liberty, like the Irish parlia-
ment members of today. would have
been Jailed, and all the other signers
Of the Declaration of Independence.
The foreigner becomes one with the
native American. 1t is the realiza-
tion of nation unity, based on the
equality of social, civil, political and
religious rights. It means the elm
ination Of all distinctions and discrim-
nations on account of race or creed.
It means on the part of the citizens
born in this country, full recognition
Of the value of the new citizen; should
be made to feel that he is no longer
a stranger or guest, but one Of the
family at home. This will enable the
foreign-born citizen to lose, his racial
self.consciousness America is the
product Of colonization, emigration
and assimilation.
l love Ireland. more especially be-
cause she has been invaded, robbed,
murdered, by the most bloodthirsty
government on the globe. She made
it a criminal offense to educate our
fathers and then accused us of being
ignorant; she followed US to this
country with her powerful bigoted
press.
I love America a thousand times
more, because It is q land Of free
dom and equal rights, such as the
human race has never known. I love
America because she gives every man
an opportunity to be a man among
men. These are my sentiments. A
man who marries a wife and loves her
with all his heart and soul until death
will part them does not necessarily
love his mother any less. The true
American knows, feels and with en-
thusiasm declares that Of all human
emotions, of all passions, there is not
one more pure, more noble. more con-
ducive to great and glorious deeds
than that which bears us back to the
spot that was the cradle of our child
hood, the playground of our boyhood,
the theater Of our approaching man

hood. Has the holy book a passage
more deeply touching than that which
pictures to US the daughters of cap
tive race in their desolation of SOUL
weeping by the waters of Babylon,
when they remembered their last
homes and the vanished towers of
Zion? Has profane verse line more
exquisitely eloquent than that which
tells US of the brave young Greek,
beautiful and radiant of his native
land, bleeding and dying on the plains
of Latium, with darkening eyes fixed
on Greece?
My dear Mr.. President, be of good
cheer. England is bankrupted. If
America had not crossed the Atlantic
to aid her, the king, Lloyd George and
Carson, would be occupying the posi-
ton that the kaiser and his managers
occupy at present.
An empire begins to totter and de.
cay when 1t withdraws it's forces from
its outlying provinces and crowding
them on Ireland. England today says
to Canada and Australia, "Oh, take
your government into your own hands.
do not want to be bothered with
you any more" England, that one
hundred and forty years ago fought
the United Colonies Of America as
long as she put man in the field.
An empire is crumbling to decay when
che begins to buy of her enemies.
as in the case Of the Roman empire.
After the Civil War, America pre-
sented a little bill to England; Jona-
than said, Il owe you nothing" and
swore he would not pay cent. Then
America said: Look here, John, IL
you don't like this" and he hauled
out sword and put 1t in the other
hand, and said take which ever you
like" John Bull paid the bill.
History tells US that empires, like
men, run the cycle Of the years of
their life and then die. No matter
how extensive their power; no mat
ter how mighty their influence; no
matter how great their wealth; or in
vincible their arms, the day comes
the inevitable day-that brings with
it disease and disruption. Thus, 1t
was with the empire of the Medes and
Persians. Thus it was with the
mighty empire of the Assyrians. Thus
it was with the Egyptians of old. Eng
land has long been at the top Of the
wheel. Does any imagine that she
will always remain there? do not
want to be more loyal than Mr.. Ma
cauley, and Mr.. Macauley describes a
day which he foresees, when the
traveller from New Zealand will take
his stand on the broken arch Of Lon.
don bridge and sketch the ruins OF st.
Pauls. Yes. England will die hard.
Great God! Just imagine sending over
to free America, seven clergymen. ex-
pecting to influence their people here
against granting Ireland her freedom.
1t looks very much as If the day
Of the visit Of Macauley's New Zear
lander was rapidly approaching. In
that day my position is that Ireland
will be mistress Of her own destinies,
with the liberty that will come to
her, not from England. II Ireland
does not obtain her liberty this month
or next month, or this year or next
year, It will only prolong the fight. !
am only talking philosophy. A word
about my humble self: am proud
to say my health is good-as good
as it vas the day sailed from Linn
erick Linnet in 1S48, with the British
press bowling. The Irish we're going
with vengeance.

he needed funds to equip and train
the people. who were without arms

selected him as king. An intense and
bitter tribal jealousy existed among
them when they ought to have been
united through their devotion to -Je

The enemies of Israel were not only
strong, but their power was increased
by the division of the tribes
There was much to discourage Saul
when he commenced to lay the foun-
dations of a constitutional govern
ment that made possible the power of
David and the glory of Solomon. The
fact that he was a member of an un
important tribe helped to allay the
jealousy of the more powerful and in
f1uential tribes. Three things en-
couraged Saul, as he went home to
Gibeah- after being made king. God
had called him. Samuel had conse-
Grated him. The people had elected
him and there followed him a band of
men. whose lives God had touched.

he works.

Local demand does not require very
much of any one thing, SO it is best to
have wide variety and not to special
ize too much. This fellow has a few
apple trees that are selling at fabulous
prices today. He got the cuttings
from a newly set tree of this variety,
