IRISH HOME OF
the McKinleys.
Dr. J. C. Shetland, of Minnesota,
has made a very entertaining booklet
of his experience in Ireland. This iu
rldent Is especially suggestive: —
At Ballymona the landlord inquired
If I would like to see the ancestral
abode of the McKinleys. I replied,
"I would. I would.” Ho he put me on
a jaunting car, a car that has seats
over the wheels, where one must, rid •
sideways, and can go very well till
the horse stumbles, when we go -
on ond off at the same time.
,1 found a low, wet surface-drained
farm of some 50 acres, a house like
the kind occupied by Hums and t'ar
negle. with floor of earth and flat
stone, with grout walls, with thatched
roof, with the name of McKinley
here and there burned into the *<nio
ky rafters. Here for six generations
lived the ancestors of President Mc
Kinley. a staid Pesbyterlan family,
who paid a big yearly rent to a s» t
wi iiniMiiun wnu Kiiyw jinu uijtiir
enough to go In when It rained.
A girl was pitching hay up on a
stack. I took the fork and pitched
hay. The farmer said: "Yourr ann
American.”
I said: "How do you know?-’ He
said, "Because you Yannkees do not
like to see gurrls work In the fields."
I said, "No, we don’t, but how
much do you have to pay for su< h
help?” "Forty dollars a year and her
hoard.” “How much rent do you
pay?” "Six dollars per acre each
year.”
I said. "Why, man. If you will
come to Minnesota, f will show- you
land better than this that von can
buy outright for $' an acre, and it
will be yours and your children’s
forever.”
He said, "Tt might he a good thine
for the hoys to go to America the.
might get to be policemen or pres
ondents or something."
I said. "Yes, sir. It Is something to
own a farm. The McKinleys have
done wall in America, and b0 have
the Stewarts whi> furnished New
York one of its leading merchants,
and so have the Greeleyg who gave ug
a great journalist, and the Jacksons
who brought to us a general and
president.”—New York Christian
Advocate.
AMERICANITIS.
A Chicago preacher la the latest
pessimist. He says we are suffering
from n national disease which he
calls Amerlcanilli.” The* symptoms.
according to thin preacher, are these:
Fatty degeneracy of the conscience;
tou rapid heart beats caused by the
pace of modern living; brains awhlrl
with money madness.
Now, let us admit that some con
sciences are sluggish and refuse to
respond to the touch; that, some

the modern gait; that some brains
are turned by greed of gain. There
are others.
The preacher makes the common
mistake of picturing Individual cases
and apply!ug the fact* to a whole
people. Not all Americans have
bowed the knee to Baal. Not all have
gone the puce. Not all are money
mad.
In po .t of fact, the American con
science Is keener today than ever
before. Crimes against the people
were committed and winked at twen
ty years ago that would horrify hu
manity today.
As to the faster pace, that Is not
true, except in Individual cases, and
In cities. The problem or saner liv
ing has boon studied as never before.
The advance In whatever makes for
health and comfort and longer life
has been wonderful nnd Justifies an
optimistic forecast.
Ana neither arc all Americans
turned by the craze of money get
ting. The claim Is too sweeping. It
Is false. The world Is getting better
slowly but surely. Consciences are
keener, life Is saner, and heart beats
are warmer than ever before.
Let us change the wording of the
symptoms of "Amerlcanltls.’' A pub
lic conscience that deeply feels the
disgrace of the exposures of graft
and dishonesty; n brain that is trying
to hud a cure for the ills of society;
a heart that quickly responds to the
calls of humanity.
EVILS OF TOO
MUCH LAW MAKING.
Mr. Raw], a forme r president of too
American bar association. Is quoted
as stating that In 1903 45 state Leg
islature's had been in session, and
9293 laws, covering 17.734 pages,
wero enacted. The British Parlia
ment, at Its session In 1905, passed
acts which extended when printed, to

that year was regarded as unusualTy
barren. *The acta of the German
Reichstag already fill 40 h.g vol
umes. When to this Is added the
legislative outputs of the Par'laments i
of Prance. Italy, Belgium. Japan and 1
the other countries where Parlia
ments exist, some Idea may be form
ed of the immense volume of re
strictions upon human activity
which are being poured out upon a
law-weary world.
That much of the legislation thus
Inflicted u(ton mankind Is crude, un
necessary. and wholly uncalled for,
noed hardly be said.
Various remedies for this plague
of too much law-making have been
adopted. One Is the abolition of an
nual sessions; another the Imposing
of a time-limit to the sittings of Leg
islatures, and a third, the adoption
of the Initiative and referendum.
Of these, the most effective Is the
flrrit, a suspension for longer periods
of the legislative grist-mills. Th*
legislatures of only alx of our states
now meet annually; most of the
others meet biennially, and one. Al
abama. has the happy distinction of
having the law machinerr aef in mos
M<jn only once In ever# fc^r years.
In tima every state lrf»Sfce Ps\pn will
feel compelled to j circumscribe Its
legislative l*'tn%<l*s still further —
