A VERY DESIRABLE PROPERTY

On River Street for Sale at a Bargain. ' Desirable and well located residence lots or properties in Rensselaer at a reasonable price, or what theretofore has been considered a reasonable price, are becoming very scarce. The extensive building operations on the west side of the river during the past two years has practically exhausted most of the well located lots and has made this section of the city the desirable residence district by reason of its pleanlffiess,. its ample drainage and the high class of residences that have been erected there. It is entirely free from the smoke nuisance of some other parts of the city and it is a quiet, peaceful neighborhood, where most of the residents own the property they occupy. The improvement of South street from Washington to Kannal avenue is opening up a small section containing a number of quite desirable lots and it is probable that within a year or two both sides of that street will be completely built up. This street is to be macadamed and have cement curb and gutter, contract having already been let. The writer has for sale the former John Bill property fronting on River street and located on- the corner of River and Odell streets, seventy-five feet on River street and running west 300 feet to South street. There is a good substantial house now on the east seventy-five feet with private sewer, fine shade and one of the very best and prettiest locations in the city. River street is the widest and one of the best improved streets in Rensselaer, while Odell street on the north side of this property is also macadamed. This property can be bought at the present time for much less than it is worth, taking into consideration its splendid location and jts advantages otherwise. We will sell this property entire or either seventy-foot lot separately -as desired.

AMERICANISM IS WINNER IN THE WILSON VICTORY

Progressive lien and Women of the West Show Power In Good Cause. STAR SAYS ALL IMBECILES Indianapolis News Declares Since Vote* Came From West and South It Is No Indorsement of the President or Democracy. BY WILLIS S. THOMPSON. Indianapolis, Nov. 13.—1 n the reelection of Woodrow Wilson the people of the United States, under the banner of the Democratic party, have won the greatest victory in the history of the nation. It is not simply a victory won by the Democratic party, or by Woodrow Wilson as an individual, although either of these would be a great achievement, but it is a victory of the truest hnd purest Americanism, working in behalf of humanity. It is a victory won by the American people, against many of the most insidious and unscrupulous unAmerican interests; it is a triumph of the broadest principles of freedom, and of human beings, over the narrowest of bigotry and the worshipper of the dollar. It is an endorsement of the greatest administration along progressive lines and great achievements that contribute to the welfare and well-being of humanity that the natien has Aver seen. It is the expression of all true Americans who believe that with the opportunities offered in an administration of four years more, Woodrow Wilson will have made it impossible for the government of the United States to ever again be taken from the control of the people and placed as it was in the hands of standpat and selfish individuals.

The Indianapolis Star, which supported everything that Woodrow Wilson did up to the time w'.en he started his campaign for re-election, and which found fault with everything he had ever done from that time forward, now discovers that it was the mollycoddles of the West, the people whp have no spirit who populate the western states, the people who are afraid to fight, the people who want peace and prosperity when all the rest of the world is engaged in a “glorious struggle” and bloodshedding that? elected Wilson. In plain words the Star says the people who voted for Wilson are imbeciles. It is these people, the Star says, who elected Woodrow Wilson. These, by the Star’s interpretation of the situation, should be classed with half the people of Indiana who also voted for Woodrow Wilson, who are imbeciles and not Americans. They are mollycoddles, unworthy citizens, unfit to be classed, if you please, with the respectable citizenship fff this United States. The editors of the Star, we must assume, are splendid citizens and not imbeciles, since no doubt exists of their adoration for Hughes. The Indianapolis News, which even refused to print paid advertising put out by the Democratic state central committee during the concluding days of the compaign, also finds that “the winning of a plurality of the electoral vote does not necessarily assure to Mr. Wilson the approval of his political policies. The states of Kansas, California and Washington were lost to the Republicans by reason of factional differences.”

The whole world will agree with the Indianapolis News that “factional differences” had a great deal to do with it. In fact, the factional differences was so great that all Republicans who believed in America and American principles and rights voted solidly with the Democrats for the return of Woodrow Wilson. The News says further that the Republican organization in these states which were carried for Wilson was composed of standpat voters of the most pronounced type, and that the people will no longer stand for this domination. God save the Republican party of Indiana if this be an offense. That all the border states on the Mexican line gave their electoral votes to Woodrow Wilson, the News explains, is due to the fact that the citizens are all Mexicans. If the residents of Texas and the other states enumerated are all Mexicans, it is news to the country at large. Since the border states, which would necessarily be supposed to be the first to object to a policy which infringed their rights, the rest of the country in this election may be assumed to have been mistaken in criticising that Mexican policy. These border states do not appear to have been so anxious for an invasion of Mexico and the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of good American soldiers, as were the interests of New York and others who 'have their investments beyond the border and want them protected with good red American blood. The Star also assures us that Hughes never criticised Wilson’s foreign policy in the slightest degree. It was so hard to know just what Hughes meant to say on any subject that the Star may be excused for its interpretation of what he said. . So Woodrow Wilson has been elected. The votes of the best AmerJean citizens that ever lived, the most enterprising and progressive American " citizens between the o.eans, elected him. The men and women of the West made his election possible.

For the first time in history Well Street and Wall Street’s domination of American politics, taking control of the government from the hands of the people and placing it in the house of J. P. Morgan and Company, has been repudiated by the American people themselves. That domination has been .repudiated by people who think mord of human beings than they do of the dollar. The millions that Wall Street Eoured into the Republican campaign ad no effect beyond the Mississippi river. Because the South and the West have elected a president, the Indianapolis News finds that the will of the people has not been expressed, ' that Woodrow Wilson’s policies have not been endorsed. Without the approval of Wall Street, the Indianapolis News would have us to believe thers is no endorsement. | The Indianapolis News like the Indianapolis Star repudiated half the people in Indiana as unfit to inhabit the earth because they voted their convictions. Let it be known that in Indiana if the election had been honest and clean Woodrow Wilson would today have the electoral vote by a good majority. While the Indianapolis News proclaims that there was a pure election in Marion county and all over the state, they ignore the fact, which is known, that there were thousands of false registrations, that money was spent freely by the Republican organization in Marion county and elsewhere.

In a brief story the Indianapolis ' News, in a flippant way, wonders where those two thousand registered voters were on election day in Gary. Had the registrations been made Democrats the News would be publishing the charges of crime all over the first page. There were in fact over 2400 of these registrations. The federal grand jury will probably answer the question which the News has asked. Federal inspectors, United .States marshals and agents of the government who were in Gary on election day were responsible for these oyer two thousand illegal registrations put on by the Republicans not going to the polls to vote. The same inspectors operating in Indiana were responsible for the fact that when the Republicans herded colored voters, sending them out in squads of thirty to vote, did not cast their ballots. While it is probably time for plain speaking, it is not necessary here to go into a discussion j)f the many contemptible methods and organizations which were formed at the expense of the Republican national and state committees for the purpose of defeating Woodrow Wilson. Their identity and their mode of operation is too well known. Woodrow Wilson took care during campaign to point them out conspicuously. He not only pointed them out but he denounced them and said he would feel greatly humiliated if any of them should give him support. While Woodrow Wilson was abused openly, but always in general terms, by his opposing candidate, and by those who campaigned and echoed what Mr. Hughes said, at no time during the campaign were the-things which he has actually accomplished ever taken up by his opponent and intelligently discussed. He was slandered and lied about most scandously by the agents of the Republican committees and organizations, who peddled these malicious falsehoods into the homes of the country in such a way that there was no opportunity to answer. So far as the Republicans are concerned, they campaigned without an issue they dared discuss. The only thing for which Mr. Hughes had declared himself in positive terms was for woman suffrage, and then all the women voted against him, evidently not believing that he meant what he said, or that Republican standpatters would allow him to fulfill his promise. If the election were to be held over today, Woodrow Wilson would have four-fifths to nine-tenths of all votes cast in the United States. When he shall have completed another four years, in which the wisdom of his progressive program shall have been fully demonstrated, every progressive voter in the country who voted the progressive ticket will be voting the straight Democratic ticket. All progressives will be glad to be known as members of that party. All Republicans, save the Old Guard who seek office, will also be proud and anxious to enlist under the banner of Democracy, and not in fifty years to come will the Democratic party be put out of power so long as men approaching the standard set by Woodrow Wilson are selected to advocate and represent its cause. When all the frauds have been thoroughly investigated and gone into by the federal court, the chances are that the present Republican majority in Indiana will be considerably reduced by exodus to Kansas and Georgia. The frauds may be found sufficient, even in this election, to eliminate the Republican majority and place Indiana in the Democratic column. Sev--eral congressmen who for a few days ’ have believed themselves defeated may find that they were really elected and the Democratic majority at Washington will thus be added to. Some offices in the state house may also remain in the hands of Demo- { crats if elimination of the votes is allowed because of coercion, false regjstrations, fraudulent voting, purchasing of votes and other offenses prevailing. It is 'strange that papers like the • Indianapolis News and Star can not discover that the registration of two thousand illegal voters in Gary is criminal simply because Republicans did it. In the view of the News there is no crime other than that in which the Democrats are guilty or indicted. The federal investigation in this instance will protect no one. Although the attorneys in charge of the prosecution are Democrats, Democrats will be prosecuted just as severely as Republicans if they are guilty. This will be in strong contrast with the holy efforts of one Alvah Rucker and his Republican political machine at Indianapolis, which indicted 128 Democrats and carefully omitted indicting Republicans, and in the end dismissed all indictments and acknowledged that -there was no evidence of any sort on which to indict, try or convict.

An Irish Patriot

Story For St Patrick's Day.

By NORA O’NEILL'

There are two characters in Irish history who are the very antipodes of each other. The one Is St Patrick, whose memory is revered and beloved by Irishmen; the other Dermot, who is looked upon with hatred and contpmpt. ‘‘ Dermot was one of the early kings of those sections into which the Emerald Isle was formerly cut up. The prayer of the Turks, “Allah, prevent the uniting of the Balkans!'* might have been spoken by the English of that faraway period with reference to the Irish. There was constant warfare between these Irish sovereigns, and finally Dermot, when hard pressed by bis enemy. Invited the English to come across the channel and help him. The English, once having obtained a foothold in Ireland, did not stop till they had dominated the Island. So, while blessings are to this day showered upon St. Patrick, who converted Ireland to Christianity, there Is execration for Dermot, for that constant discontent of the Irish people under British rule dates from bls giving Britons the first opportunity. During the reign of Charles I. of England one of these kings or rulers of what have since counties of Ireland was beheaded by order of the English king. He was called the O’Donohue, the O being’a prefix to the name of the ruler to denote his sovereignty. His son, a boy .of seven at the time of his father’s death, made a vow that when he grew to manhood 'he would spend his life in attempting to drive the English from Ireland. It might be expected that a resolution'formed at such an early age would not be kept. A child of seven losing a father i&_not likely to remember him

KATHLEEN SEEMED BROKEN WITH GRIEF.

on coining to manhood. But little Tommy O’Donobue grew up among the strifes with his hereditary enemies, and when he came of age he came also to the leadership of his people, who were oppressed by those enemies. He was bound not only by the oath of his childhood, but by the indignities and exactions heaped upon his subjects, to make an effort to get rid of the bated stranger whom Dermot foisted upon Ireland. Before he was ready to strike a blow ,he wooed and won the daughter of a neighboring sovereign, the O’Grady. Kathleen O’Grady worshiped her young husband and sympathized with him in his resolution to rid the country of their oppressors. But it was hard for her to consent that he should enter upon so dangerous a struggle. Every year the conquerors were obtaining a stronger foothold both by conquest and settlement. Since the father of her husband bad been executed Charles I. had lost his own bead, and Oliver Cromwell, one of the world’s greatest fighters, had assumed the government Cromwell was of the Protestant faith and spared no pains to plant it in Ireland. To resist Cromwell was a qiore difficult and dangerous undertaking for the son than for the father to have resisted Charles I. Nevertheless the young O’Donohue had no sooner been married than be formed an alliance with a neighboring ruler and entered upon a rebellion against the English. For a time they were successful, and O’Donohue’s heart was beating with high hope when sudidenly his colleague treacherously left 'him in the lurch by making peace with the enemy. This enabled the English to turn all their forces against the O’Donobue, and they administered to him a crushing defeat The flight, the wanderings, the bldings, the constant escapes of the young form one of the most romantic episodes of Irish history. For a long (while he succeeded in concealing himself from bis pursuers, but at last was ‘captured In a starving condition. Tben (followed bis trial for treason against a power that had no right whatever in Ireland, bis conviction, and he was’sen'tenced to the kame fate his father had 'met—to be beheaded. The bride, who had consented that her husband embark in so hazardous

an undertaking, was at first paralysed at the calamity that had befallen him and her. But out of her despair came a wonderful concentration of will power that developed in cunning. While there was life there was hope. She determined to make a desperate effort to save her husband. Two things were necessary. She must assist him to effect an escape, and she must have the means at hand to get him out of the country in case he regained his liberty, for if he remained in Ireland he would be hunted and doubtless captured as he had been captured before. The latter part of the plan must be attended to first. France was in those days a refuge for both English and Irish persons who were hunted to be punished for treason, which meant usually an attempt to throw off an oppressor. O’Donohue was worshiped by his people, and his young wife had no difficulty In finding those who would provide a ship to take him to the French coast A vessel was procured and stood ready at the nearest practicable point to the jail where the prisoner was confined. Kathleen, having seen this arrangement perfected the day before her husband was to be executed, went to the officer who had captured him and begged that she might be permitted to spend a short time with the condemned mnn that night, the last that he would spend on earth. The conqueror could not withstand the pleadings, the tears, of a young and beautiful bride who was about to be forever parted from her bridegroom. He gave an order that her request be granted. After darkness had fallen Kathleen, with her sister, was carried in a “chair” to the prison, and both were admitted to the prisoner’s cell. They remained with him half an hour, when they emerged, the young wife leaning upon and almost carried by her sister. Kathleen seemed broken with grief. Her sobs were heartrending as her sister tried vainly to comfort her. The guards could not but sympathize with one who so soon to lie bereaved had just bidden farewell with the one she loved. The women went to the chair

In which they had come and entered it amid the sympathetic silence of their observers. Not far from the prison was a wood, and as soon as the mourning party were concealed In it the door of the cabin was thrown open and the figure that had appeared to be Kathleen, but was really her husband, jumped out. throwing off his woman’s garments. A horse stood ready, and. mounting it, he dashed off into the forest. Meanwhile nothing was suspected at the Jail. At the hour when the last visit to the prisoner was made for the night the jailer went into his cell. The man who was to “die on the morrow knelt beside bis cot-with his face buried on it. The jailer, supposing hlifi to be engaged in prayer, waited awhile till he should have finished. Rut the prisoner showing no signs of bringing his devotions to an end, the other addressed him, asking him If there was anything he could do for him. The figure remained silent, his face still buried in the bedclothes. Now, the O'Donohue was a tall man and his wife a small woman. This disparity in size bad seemed sure to block the plan adopted. To reduce his height O’Donohue, in leaving the prison as Kathleen, had feigned to be so paralyzed with grief as to be obliged to cling rather than walk with the sister. This enabled him to appear shorter by bending bis knees. But Kathleen, who was desirous of concealing her identity in order to give her husband" time to get as far In bis flight as possible, had no means of making herself larger than she was. The jailer stood looking at the diminutive form and was puzzled. Then it came over him that something was wrong. He called again upon the prisoner to speak, and. the latter stiH remaining silent, he went to him and lifted him from the cot. He saw at once a woman’s face and knew that O’Donobue had gone out in bis wife’s clothes. The jailer was springing away to give the alarm when Kathleen seized him with a view to delaying him. But she was no match in strength for bim. and. freeing himself from her grasp, he rushed from the cell, and In a few minutes men were hurrying to recapture the escaped man. The O’Donobue had been furnished with the fleetest horse that could be obtained, and he knew every road bypath. bog and tangled forest in the region. The pursuers, surmising that he would make for the coast, followed in his wake, but while he was helped by those on the road they were retarded by obstacles and thrown off their course by Incorrect information. In the morning the ship in which the O’Donohue was to sail was riding at anchor in the offing, when he appeared on a dune above the beach and waved to them, in a jiffy a boat was sent ashore, he .was taken aboard, the anchor was raised, and. the wind filling the sails, the vessel started on her voyage to France. The wily Cromwell was much annoyed at the escape. O’Donohue .was so well beloved tn Ireland that the protector knew he would be a constant thorn in bis side and dreaded lest the young patriot should return and head another rebellion. So the protector sent Kathleen to France with a message to her husband, offering him a pardon and the restoration pf his estate if he would’ swear allegiance to the English government By this time the O’Ddnohue had become convinced that the cause of independent Ireland was bopelesft, and. yielding to the solicitations of the wife, who had saved his life, he consented. He therefore returned to Ms native Island with hte wife, where they enjoyed a life there- . after of peace.
