ERIN GO BRAUGH.
Today all the English speaking!
peoples will be "a wearing of the ,
green." in honor to the sons aud j
daughters of Erin, the children of thei
little Emerald Isle. who though com
paratively few in number, who like
the Hebrews, really have no govern
ment of their own; yet have been
foremost in art. war, pence and poll- 1
tics in the lands of their adoption.
The Irish are a remarkable people.
Nurtured among the green verdured
hills and valleys of their native land.i
they have imbued its intensely poet
ical legends almost from thei>* birth, j
and with their first breath they in
herited the love of freedom and dem
ocracy that has made the Irish so
prominent in politics. The Irish are
a distinctly human people. Intellect
ually they have seldom been profound!
but they are subtile and no one peo- 1
pie have the art of understanding hu
man natur as have the sons of Ire
land. They are usually sentimental. |
generous, genial, witty and as they "g J
erous. genial, witty, and as they"go
through life, they live by the way."
?Most Irish possess the fighting
spirit in its truest form. Although nol
Irish general has for centuries lead
an Irish army, they have done valiant
service in foreign wars, aud the En
glish, French and Americans can
gratefully testify as to the quality of
Hi? Irish in walks of war, while for
years the proudest names of our prize
ring sounded like a Dublin tax roll.
We laugh at them, we tease them,
we drink with them, we fight them
sometiuu-s, we envy them their dls
positions; but we all love the Irish
No other people are so generally like
or so generally successful in so many
ways. The I'nited States owes much
to the Irish and may they increase
and prosper among us. for from th>
Irish comes the truest American spirit !
DO WE FEAR JAPAN?
A leader of courage would at one*
have declared to the world that this
republic belongs to the American peo
ple, and that they iuteud to rule it
as they please, not withstanding the
radical protests of China, Japan or
au> other country. One declaration
of I his i*?i;.racter, coming from a lend
er who "said what he meant aud
meant what he said," would ring a
round the world and give the repub
lic more character among the nations
than it has enjoyed in many years.
(Applause. )
In my opinion, the most humiliat
ing shame that ever overshadowed
our fair name as a nation, is the ob
sequious senility characterizing the
diplomacy of the party in power in
the pending Japanese crisis. By this
abortive and cowardly method of sol
ving this dangerous problem, not only
is the sacred right of local self gov
ernment being sacrificed to appease
the wrath of the cross eyed Mongol
ians, but the contemptuous ridicule
of all nations are being invoked upon
this once proud and patriotic repub
lic.. (Applause. ) ? Extracts from the
speech of Adam Byrd of Mississippi
m?de in the House of Representat
ives on Feb. l'5th arguing against the
admittance of Orientals to the United
States and scoring the government's
policy in dealing with Japan.
The local federal authorities de
serve credit for the prompt arrest of
the man who furnished the "hooch'
which resulted in the Haines stabbing
affray.
"Shall even he that hateth right,
govern? and wilt thou condemn him
that Is most Just?'
There Is nothing wrong \vlth the
boy who has an occasional fight.
Home rule is what Alaska needs

It is a relief to learn from the man
