IRELAND.

The address Of the Hon. Laurence Grinne on
the Irish question, given in the High School audi
torium Thursday night, was an able and good
tempered effort. A lifelong resident of Ireland
and for forty years the representative of his peo-
Pile in parliament and elsewhere, he was able to
give his attentive audience very vivid frst-hand
impression of conditions in that unfortunate island.
Our sympathies with the Irish people in
their distress AS an American listens to an
account of economic, civil and military conditions,
he becomes aware, from the tingle of his blood,
that Americans would tolerate no such expressions,
We revolted for far less
1t is passing strange that liberty-loving peo-
pie, such as the English have shown themselves to
be, will deny to another that for which they have
SO streuously fought through the centuries.
The Irish are an alien race. Their history ira
dtions customs and aspirations make it doubly
difficult for them to fit into the scheme of the
British empire We hope they may be free.

WHEN THE CATS AW
EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
THE ExTRAvAGANCE OF INACTIoN.


Gov. Small of Illinois recently refused to let
any road contracts because the price was too high.
The carpenters of Chicago also refused to accept
small cut in wages that the building blockade
which has crippled Chicago for several years might
broken These examples of the. extravaganza
of nacton. ...
Far be it from engineers to counsel too high
costs or too low wages. Rather engineer sits in
the position of arbier to determine the fair and
economical cost and wage--for the two are insep-
arably bound together. But those familiar with
construction work know well that under the form
of highway contract used in most states a highway
contractor actually make only much money
as the authorities think he is justly entitled to.
If the contract price is high, then high quality
of work is required; If the contract price is low,
sthen lower quality of work is obtained. All this
is without regard to whether not the contractor
goes broke the job. State Highway Engineer
Hirst Of Wisconsin says that up to the present
time very little money has been made by high
way contractors; and that the mortality among
such contractors is high.
The high labor cost of building is but another
phase of the same question. People will not build
or buy when they have no money--they can't
in motion. Hard work and small profits--and moth
ing else that an honest man wants to do--lead in
the direction.
Such is the extravaganza of inaction. Neither
events stand still-there is either progress
or retrogression. 1t is not only extravagant but
also very foolish to simply do nothing when action
is demanded-and conditions demand the early
opening Of construction work,

THE GREATER DUTY.

In opposing the ratification of the 5000, 600
Colombian treaty Senator Kellogg of Minnesota
declared Wednesday that such ratification would
place stain the of Theodore Roosevelt
We believe that this is hysterical state
ment. ~
The dead hand of no man--however be-
loved and cherished his memory may be-should
be allowed to reach the years and swerve
the United States of America from doing what It
finally decides is the right thing.
Illustrious a citizen as he was, Theodore
Roosevelt was only human, subject to error like
the rest of poor human beings. IL later criticism
shows that the righteous thing for America to do
is to pay this amount to Colombia as a result of
the Panama affair, America should pay 1t.
The Journal does not believe this to be the
case We believe that President Roosevelt's ac-
ton was well advised. But the point that we are
emphasizing is, that statesman should review
the treaty from the standard of instrnsc right or
wrong, and not according to whether or not their
decision might might not have dlspleased
Theodore Roosevelt.
To do otherwise would be to revert to ancestor
worship.
This dispte the fact that we place Roosevelt
as one of the trumvirate of Americas greatest
statesmen.

EXTENDING THE SCHOOLS.

There was time when education was crammed
down the necks of youngsters during regular
school terms only Those who failed had the alter
native of dropping out of school being

to attend school during their youth.

with the system were able to stay in school.
The albuquerque school system it is now
being expanded offers marked contrast There
is the regular term of nine months with its diver
sified instruction calculated to reach into all types
of minds and draw out whatever is there. There
is also the summer term. where the backward
students may catch up with the more fortunate
and where the advanced are able to secure credits
which will shorten the years they must spend
in the completion of the common school system.
