The people Are beginning to interest themselves in the eottotry as they never did before. For three gener ations they have had no country. They were treated by England as the mon grels of civilization. They were taught that they had no race and that they were a little bit of everything, mostly English. But we are teaching them better. Today 3,000 of the 10,000 Irish l schools are teaching the Irish language. The young are being taught to convermr in their native tongue. When at home I speak it altogether. Thousands es Irishmen are doing the same thing. “The English government is doing everything possible to suppress the movement It wants a benighted Ire land. Formerly the government al lowed the payment of *result fees,’ based upon the results accomplished tn opr schools. A few years ago these fees, based on the teaching of the Irish language, amounted to less than £I,OOO a year. Today they amount to £12,000 a year. That amount represented a on© hundred and fiftieth part of the money spent upon Irish education. Now they have taken it away from us. Is that right? The Irish people ought to have that money, no matter hoM* they want to use it, even - if they wanted to spend it In blowing soap bubbles. England doesn't want Ireland to retain its lan guage,' the oldest vernacular except th© Greek in Europe, or any other heredi tary characteristic. But we will bar© them all. They shall be rejuvenated. “The movement will help Ireland in dustrially. Already mills and facto ries, especially those engaged in the cloth trades, are swelling in prosperity. Irishmen are now able to get work at home, and in a few years more I pre dict that emigration will almost entire ly cease. Today 40,000 of our best young Irish men and women of the marriageable type leave Ireland for America every year. This drain will eventually cease. And I look tc see many Irish in this country return to their native soil. Our movement must and will succeed.-*’ Telephone Soelala la Kansas.
