We trust all of our readers will enjoy Thanksgiving tomorrow
with the same canscious knowledge that they deserve all the good
things to which they have fallen heir. We fully appreciate the
fact that we are living in the best Country, the best State, the
best County and the best City. If there is a way to make them
better we hope to be the means of finding the way and have the
oppo‘rtunity to apply the remedy.
Not lreland’s War Says Bishop of Limerick
Recently published reports have told of how hundreds of . Irishmen
who sought passage on steamers bound for America were hooted and
mobbed by the populace at Liverpool, and of how the crews of ships
threatened to strike if these would-be emigrants were permitted to board
the ships. '
The treatment accorded these Irishmen has brought a protest from
the Rev. Edward Thomas, the Catholic. Bishop of Limerick, whose letter
is published in the Munster News and republished in other Irish news
phpers. we are told in a cablegram from Dublin,
The Bishop's letter is in part as follows and makes interesting read
ing: , T
" “The treatment which poor Irish emigrant lads have received at
Liverpool ig ‘enqugb,to make an Irishman’s blood boil. What have they
done to deserve insults and outrage Jat the hands of a brutal English
" "
“They don't want to be forced into the English army and sent to
fight battles in some part of the world, They are supposed to be free
men, but they are made to feel that they are prisoners who may be com
pelled to lay down their lives for a cause that is not worth three rows of
pingtg them,
“These poor Connaught, peasants know little or nothing of the mean
ings of war. They much prefer to be allowed to till their own ~potato
gardens in peace in Connemara. It seems a cruel wrong to attack them
because they can not rise to the level of the new imperialism of T. P.
O'Connor and the rest of the new brigade.
“What have they done, or what have their forebears ever got from
England that they should die for her? :
“Mr. Redmond will say that the home rule act is on the statute
book, but any intelligent Irishman will say it 1s simulacrum of hor;xe rule
with express notice that it’is never to come into operation.
“This war may be just or unjust but any fairminded man will ad
mit it is England's war, not Ireland’s. Yet the poor fellows who don't
see the advantage of dying for such a cause are to be insulted as'shirkers
and cowards.
“If there is to be conscription, let it be enforced all around, but it
seems to be intensely an injustice to - leave the English' shirkers by mil
lions to go free 'and coercer the small remnant of the Irish race intc a
war which they don’t understand."— Albany Herald. ‘

Admission. Come everybody. :
Monday after recess the gir,lsl

in marching. They marched all
over the campus. Tuey were
“drummed around.”
A stray Kitten tried to adopt the
high school Monday morning, It
made its way up into the study
ball and after a very.eloquent ora
tion was juled in one of the cabi
nets. Here it aguin delivered an
oration with such vet;emebce and
pathos that Prof. Mothews was
moved to release it. Hedid and the
kitten was set on its way out..of
the building, Its shadow will
*‘never darken our door again.”

Monday morning we were given
the great privelage of hearing W.
Blanchard Moore lecture on the
Eskimos. His speech was greatly
enlightening to many of the stu
dents as we!l as mirth provoking
in some places Many of the stu
dents went to his lecture on Siberia
at. the Methodist church Monday
night.
Miss Powell has organized some
basket ball teams among the girls
and there will soon be some hot
contests on the. peerless court.
Watch the Leader-Enterprise for
results. -
Tuesday instead of singing the
high school songs and practicing
the good old yells the boys tumbl
ed around playing with aidofiar‘
football, As a result most of
them left the grounds chasing it
and if they don’t turn angels and
spro it wings mighty quick it
means ten off their deportment,
**Such is the desert of iniquity” or
words to that cffect.
Monday morning Dr. Ford‘
made us a talk on applause; thel
time to applaud and the manner
of applauding. It was direct to!
the point and valuable, as all of
his talks are.
The Sophs defeated the
Freshies Tuesday at the base-!
ball park by a soore of 6 to 0.%
Both sides played exactly the
same style of ball and the samei
amount of it, t 1« t _t—rotten
ball. The only reason that ’the}
score was so low was that t h e
defense was no worse than ;he]
offence. Pittman redeemed his
failure in the Junior game by
‘ma‘kin‘"g'one of the old fashioned
sprints. He made a 70 yard run
for a touchdown, outstripping.
the whole field by many yards
Dozier failed to pick an easy
goal. ' Once more_*‘‘Pitt”’ saved
the day by preventing a safety.
He was forced 20 yards back in
onr.own goal but succeeded in
B(ingihg the ball out 10 yards.
Greene and Kennedy starred for
the Freshies. Aubrey Gaskin
cracked his collar bone® during
the game. e

The Junior girls walked over
the first class basket ball team
yesterday with a scoreof 16 to 2.
This double defeat was kind of
hard on our green classmates
We need another talk from Dr.
Ford on school spirit. We need
it bad too. Tuesday, only two
days before the big Thanks
giving football game only a few
of the girls practiced on the_high
school song and the only boys
who practiced were the team.
However they practiced their
signals hard enough for the
whole schocl. Anyway it will
only give the All-Stars a fzirer
chance asthey never have any
organized rooting.
Tomorrows game will be as
tight as you could wish. Every
body come and pull for one side
or the other.
Miss Vaughn has engineered
the organization of a girls club
called. '‘The Hope So Club.”
The girls form a sewing circle
and make things.

advise you that you make your selection
soon. Qur prices will remain the same while
present stock remains. No need to tell you .
that prices have advanced for the past
year 1o to 20 per cent, owing to the war,
especially on imported Semi-Porcelain ware
from England, and China dinner ware from
Austria, all this condition is likely to continue
indefinitely. ' ; |
We have decided to close out our lines of Chinaware; and, at
least for the present, all our Johnson Bros’. English Porcelain -
Patterns. To all those who want dinnersets from our stock will
do well to see us as soon as possible,
We have a few sets cf old patterns that we are offering at
