WE « NDER HOW ITS DONE.
Seme-times a perse® will commit an art that. So
a casual observer it rears as odd- That is to say. that
act is cwsssattted it a way that is contrary to the usual
custom f tlle-ved fry an average person- and sack oddity
of d:.-g a thing qualifies that person as a “•dank" or
acker appellative. In tie usual course of events we
forget such pevu. arty in tie perse® and we are none
tie wore* for tt. Bat when a department of ©or
gwwmsEent; a department with i head—even a mutton
bead—prtrtded with a! tie appurtenances together
with a certain amosst of well defined power to do‘cer
tain things aasd dees a thing according to rules and
regular:-ns. another department butts in and with a
few words nulls and voids that very act the other ae
pirmen* had a right to do, tt bet-tries more than an
oddity it becomes a poxale and leaves -as t© wonder
bow ;;s dose At i that leads us to that which e»
intended zc say which is in refereace to President
WRsin’s late prwclamalioB by which three thousand
fee* of waters s-fijaceat and surrounding Annette is
land were reserve;
It :s said that men had already set up fish traps
in the very water s-; reserved; had obtained permit
front the war ier-artESCEt that was supposed to have
authority. Desnto that fact, sere censes the president
with his prodamatifSB and scatters aS precedhsg con
tracts and ad— • - iters a rebuke to the other depart
me&t which sad acted to good faith- Here we find the
c*dte£rtj' ©tf tGtf p-r'.'-r ciJiUfciscs
These tvs had expended a great deal c-f money
•_e kcattog arc setting up the traps- They had en
tered m:*: a r: ntratt with the war department that
was supposed t© save authority to make contracts- yet
by teaser, of the rr.-:lamat_;a, they :<*e every dollar.
Frit, that it w.-.lf seem chy fair that the war de
partment be nsad© -© eougk-trp every penny that was
srest: which is r:: likely This leaves Us 4 Company
to warier how it's dire- for the simple reason that we
should like to- ms's* ccntrsrts and avade them at our

what *is called She majority at the election, has evi
dently resolved itself into a minority because there ajv
pears to be more drunkedness now than ever before
The authorities are powerless^ apparently. There is
mop* drinking- mom deviltry followed by more r,nv *•
than they tan keep’ track of- The same is tepcrtc
all over the State Ysjfeat s mess. When the ^oople
of the State of Washington enacted a law with which
to muzzle the drtnkers. they should have inserted a
clause abolishing cussedness also They should have
known that to leave cussedness to roam at large was
dangerous- Their experience, however, will no do»?bt
lead them to add such a law to the prohibition act
Let sis wait and see.
THE SINN FEIN
< FVst-Inieliigtactr)
The failure of the Sinn Fein revolt in Ireland
draws attention to the personnel of the leaders and
the pos;: on the society has occupied in Irish politics
The organization is an outgrowth of the Young
Ireland movement ef ISIS- but it was not until 190?
that it began to attract attention as an element to be
reckoned with in the settlement of Ireland's issue with
Great Britain Branches were established in various
portions of the world, and one of the largest is locat
ed in Xiw York C5ty
The name of the society is purely Gaelic, and is |
pronounced "Shinn Fain.”’ ra-eaning "ourselves, alone-"
Stmt Fitter? wan; nothing English in the government
or national life of she island.
For the past nine years the society has shown
fc.-stithy to the movement for nationalism as rep
wseatet by John Redmond, and the Nationalist party {
has wcogmsed its snSuence with some apprehension, as
opposed to the interests of the whole people
The leaders and organizers of the society have
not been prominent men. bu; they have nevertheless
drawn, at times, a strong following Its position in
the recent revolt was a protest against the Redmond *:
home rule propaganda- which it regarded as^ unduly
deliberate and impractical The revolt was designed
to secure, at :rse blow, what the Nationalist party has
been content to seek by persuasion and parliamentary
enactment
The Nationalist movement wfli probably be
strengthened by the elimination of the Sinn Fein
as a potential force in Irish politics To the Redmond
followers must se credited stanch adherence to their
agreements with British statesmen- England cannot
well refuse to carry out its home rule pledges at
the earliest convenient season

THE LIFE HEREAFTER. _
_ ~ ——“ ,
Let bs rot forget, and let as teach it to all. that
there weald be no dignity in life- that would not
be worth while to live, if annihilation were to be
oar lot- What it s which alleviates and which sancti
f.es tofl, which readers men strong, wise, pari an. just,
at once humble and aspiring, bur the perpetual vision
of a better world, whose light shines through the
carkness of the present life? For myself. I believe
profoundly in that better world, and after many
struggles much study and numberless trials,
this is the supreme conviction of my reason
.after many straggles, much study and numberless
trials, this is the supreme conviction of my reason
