Letter From Ireland Throws

Light on Latest Movement There.

TAKES A VERY ROSY VIEW.

ENGLISH GARRISONS ARE BEING CLEARED OF IRISH SOLDIERS

WHO WILL BE FOUNDATION OF

PROSPEROUS LAND.

In view of the fact that there is so

much controversy in the newspapers

of Ireland and America and In fact, every country. In regard to the new movement in Ireland, the following extracts from a personal letter written by John Fitzgibbon of Castlerea, county Roscommon, Ireland, to J. S. Fitzgibbons, of this city, will be very interesting: As to the "Sinn Fein" movement, in my opinion It has many men identified with it who have never rendered an honest day's work for Ireland. Their attacks on the men who are succeeding in rendering good work to their country illustrates the sort of hearts they poss. Hon. John Redmond has behind him every man In Ireland worth having. At the same time he is anxious to have all Irishmen (cranks and reasonabe men)-rendering service to their country. Rest assured we are winning and though some newspapers mak it appear there is a formidable split in Ireland, you may take it from one who knows that nothing of the kind exists. We are clearing the English garrison of Irish soldiers, and soon will lay the foundation of a prosperous Ireland by rooting the people In the soil, by placing them on the fertile plains previously occupied by the beasts, and from

which lands the people had been driveti

for the purpose of providing John Bull

with beef and mutton.

'Home rule is now well to the front

the democracy of Ireland is quite pre

paredto greet it. Men who have stood aloof in Ireland would now like to throw, discredit on the movement that

has placed Ireland in the position she stands in today, and if they could now creep in to partake of the spoils pf the victors, by throwing dust in the eyes 01 the people, they would be known as

"smart ones." The Intelligence of the country can see through their motives and will yot permit them to wreck the

ship or stagger the man at the wheel." It would be well to say in this connection that Mr. Fitzgibbon is a member of parliament from Roscommon, and Is now lecturing in Ireland on the new movement to reclaim the land, and Instead of using it for pasturing purposes for Englishmen, to have the Irish plow and plant it, and the benefits accrue to the people of Ireland. Mr. Fitzgibbon is one of the brightest men in Ireland today, and is devoting his whole time to bring about the object of his life work home rule for Ireland. A national Ireland Is what Is wanted, with its literature and language and the day does not seem far distant.

Pine Knot, Mr. Roosevelt's Little Virginia Resting Place. In Albemarle County, Virginia, we have a little place called Pine Knot, where we sometimes go, taking some

or all of our children, for a three or four days' outing. It Is a mile from the big stock farm "Plain Dealing," belonging to an old friend, Mr. Joseph Wilmer. The trees and flowers are like those of Washington, but their general close resemblance to those of Long Island is set off by certain exceptions. There are osage orange hedges, and in spring many of the roads are bordered with bands of the brilliant yellow blossoms of the flowering broom, introduced by Jefferson. There are great willow oaks here and there

in the woods or pastures, and occasional groves of noble tulip trees in the many stretches of forest; these trees

growing to. much larger size than on Long Island. . As at Washington,

among the most plentiful flowers are the demure little Quaker Ladies, which

are not found at Sagamore Hill where we also miss such northern forms as

the wake robin and the other trilliums,

which used to be among the characteristic marks of springtime at Albany. At Pine Knot the red bud, dogwood and laurel are plentiful; though in the case of the last two no more so than at Sagamore Hill. The azalea its Knickerbocker name in New York was pinkster grows and flowers far more luxuriantly than on Long Island. The moccasin flower and the china bine Virginia cowslip with its pale pink buds, the flood-red Indian pink, the painted columbine, and many, many other flowers somewhat less showy, carpet the woods. The birds are, of course, for the most part, the same as on Long Island, but with some differences. These differences are, in part, due to the more southern locality; but in part I cannot explain them, for birds

will often be absent from one place

seemingly without any real reason. From "Small Country Neighbors" by Theodore Roosevelt In the October Scrlbner. How Foundations of Great Steel Struc- . tures Are Built.

a great pressure of air. It is a very interesting sight to watch them, and

the best of it is that any one may see them at close range from an adjoining sidewalk. The caisson is a hollow steel cylinder open at the bottom and just large enough to permit a man to work. The workman climbs down a

earth at the bottom. As the earth is taken away the steel tube is gradually lowered. The earth is taken out by a bucket, which Is lowered and raised by a tall derrick at one side. As the caisson sinks, air is pumped Into the compartment containing the man. This is to force back any water or dirt that might fill the hole from the outside as fast as the workman removes it from within. The pressure of this air is often so great that a man can work but an hour of so at a time. At the top of the caisson is a steel cylinder with an air tight door at either end which serves as a kind of vestibule to the tube below. When one of the caisson workers starts to go to work he opens the door or lid at the top and climbs in, when

the opening is once more tightly closed. This door or lid is air-tight. After the opening to the outer air has

been closed the workman opens the

door at the bottom of this steel compartment and letB in compressed air

from the caisson below. It takes a few minutes to become accustomed to

breathing this atmosphere, for the heavy air makes the head ring. As

soon as the workman can do so he climbs down into the funnel below,

closing the lower door of the steeL an

te-room as he does so. All this must

be done in the dark. If the workman wishes to signal the outer world he may do so by striking the steel sides of his narrow prison with his shovel. He usually signals in this way when the bucket is to be raised or lowered.

Do You Love John Johnson? Governor John Johnson of Minneso

ta, Henry Watterson's "dark horse, may not win the presidency next year. This much is sure, however, those who read the romantic story of his life in the October American Magazine will feel an affection for him. John Johnson is a man you can't read about long

without loving. For example: "John Johnson left school when he was thirteen in order to support his mother, left resourceless by her husband's financial and moral failure. John was only the second son. His mother objected to his leaving school. He insisted. He saw a duty. It was the first element in his education. "He could not at first support the whole family. His mother took In

washing. People's first recollection of John Johnson in St. Peter 13 when he was wheeling his mother's washings about in a little wagon. But the washings did not last for long. Two years after John's father failed, two years after John himself went to work, this second son, this little boy, fifteen years of age. came to his mother and told her that she must now stop working. He could now support her, and also his younger brother and sisters. He was now the head of the family. - "His mother resisted his determina

tion. She was a woman of strong mind and of strong body. In her extreme old age, when her death was expected, she used to walk to Kasota, three miles away, and would refuse to ride. And her mental energy was equal to her physical energy. But John triumphed over her. She stopped taking In washing. And, when he had overcome her, she used always to say that it was the proud moment of her life. She apparently was proud to have produced a son who could overcome her. So, at fifteen, . John attained to the leadership of his own family. And all this leadership, from then to now, has continued to be a kind of family leadership, personal. Intimate, touching."

Detecting the First Difference Between Taft and Roosevelt. As an oratorical effort, Taft's speech is not remarkable. There is little rhetoric in it. There is not one Impassioned phrase In it. There is nothing that dazzles or surprises. It is a calm, candid and Judicial treatment of the subjects of railroad legislation, trusts and tariff revision, with reference to a federal inheritance tax and a federal income tax, and with an earnest championship of President Roosevelt and a contrast of his policy with Mr. Bryan's. On railwav rate regula

tion, Mr. Taft endorses the present um offlce

law and favors several amendments that have been called for by the Interstate Commerce Commission, one of which would give permission to railways to form traffic agreements subject to the approval of the commission. He opposes government ownership, and he does not believe that in order to secure federal regulation of railroads "the constitutional limits upon federal action should be blurred out or an undoubted federal . power should be expanded by doubtful construction into a field which really be

longs to the state." This is taken by

some papers to Indicate that Mr. Taft does not tak stock In the suggestion made by Mr. Farrar of Louisiana and counten jced by President Roosevelt that the post roads clause of the federal constitution gives the federal government fuller powers over the railways than the Interstate commerco clause confers. It is the first difference detected between Taft's views and Roosevelt's. Current Literature for October.
