Some OF the newspapers friendly
to the cause" are mentioning
Stokes Robertson as one who could
have the Governors office next time
almost for the asking. Sure thing
feIlers, but say that would suit the
trusts and big monied interests tax
dodgers. Lets keep Stokes where
he is at and make EN- cough up in
their rightful share of maintaining
cost of state government. Robert
son can make more money as State
Revenue Agent aud possibly serve
the state better than any where else
during the next quadrsnnium as he
is so well doing now.

There are some people 10 most If

inordinate itching for newspaper
quitting but out of proportion to
their real usefulness or Importance
to the community, are not willing to
pay for it nor stand by the editor In
case he gets in bad from INDUCING
their, ego that way. There are 9th
ers who have political ambitions be
yond their desires which prompt
their desire for publicity and are
wiling to enter into any kind oil
cruel combinations to choke the life
out Of the newspaper mao who re-
trains from tickling their vanity and
adding to their popular stature by
the free use OF printers ink on their

When an outraged community APP
peals to the courts for redress of its
wrongs and instead of receiving
bread receives scorpion or stone,
then 1t is that confidence in the law
is shaken and indignation either
flares up or sulIen sentiment of dis
content settles down on people
which is liable to make for mobbery
settlement 10 days to come, a situa-
ton which is to be discouraged but
nevertheless the people are going

that no male of the opposition species

Press Inquiries are being received
by Irish land agents from wealthy

Many landed gentry left Ireland during

During the past week. Irish public
opinion seemingly has consolidated in

of ratification than at any time since
the debate opened.
Their most conservative estimates
are for majority of about l. and they

notice published in the Irish Bulletin
last August, forbidding persons to
leave the country without a permit

taken as reminder to the pubic that
