These expressions, however, cotmnir from a friend of mine who may sit in the coming session of the Oregon legislature remind me of the fact that on Sunday I received from the bands of the Daughters of the American Revolutoin through the American Iegion a most beautiful memorial from the government of France in honor of my brilliant and heroic son who fell on the battle field of the Argonne. The chasm of my grief can never be bridged by the passing of the years, ami it does appear to me that at least I should have the American privilege of exercising my political rights without the bitter and useless criticism of a friend and one of my own political faith. Frank, you may call it "bunk" and "glittering sky rocket expressions," but I remind you that you and many other American citizens HAVE NOT PAID the price in this great'war and still do not value American citizenship and the blessings of liberty to their fullest extent.

For the north or Ireland, the area embraced will probably Include the six counties mentioned by the pre mier In his original outline, with possiDly tome slight modifications as a consequence of which the north ern parliament would be a very mucn smaller body than the south era organization.
