BY w. '1‘. OOSGMVE.
(President. of the Irish flee State.)
The festival of st. Patrick may
well be celebrated with increased
rejoicing both in Helena and wher-
ever Irishman meet in remembrance
of their patron saint and their home
country. ,
The year which has passed since
we lsst,ceiobrated St. Patrick's Day
has been eventful for Ireland. The
London agreement removed from
the path of Irish development pos-
siblo causes of future difficulty. It
established good relations with peo-
ple of northern inland in a. way
which I believe will result in co-
operative effort between all good
citizens in the interests of the coun-
try as a whole.
Recognise Need of lrish Nationality.
It settled the outstanding financial
question with Great Britain. Es~
tsblishment and growth of the free
state have produced marked change
in the attitude of those who in
times past opposed recognition of
political freedom for irclsnd. “they
have come to recognise the need of
the Irish nationality. " .. =

As the‘ Irish people thcm- '
at large.
selves have come to feel their faith
has been vindicated and their long
fight for political recognition won
they have felt inspiration which is
derived from creative achievement.
This inspiration will manifest ii-‘
self in the future in every sphere:
of the nation‘s life. its results will
be found in industry'lncreased out-
put and improved duality. It will
be found in the building up of the
national insiituilond’hnd in seeing
that our state mikes 'contribution

Four Billion Dollars
American People Lose
. Annually In Fake In-
vestment Schemes.
Judge John Keogh addressed the
Lions' club at the weekly luncheon
this noon on the subject. of "A Fool
and His Money."
His address was a very impressive
reminder and warning that a per-
son who has money- to invest. should
be very careful how he invests it.
and whose judgment he follows in
putting the cash to work.
“Thou who are in a position to
know any that there is an annual
loan of four billion dollars in this
country due‘to fraudulent invest-
ment schemes." said ’Sudge Keogh.
"In the city of New York. despite
the sharpness of its citizens and
their reputation for being wise. fake
stock promoters gather in a half
billion every year."
Although Connecticut is known as
the "land of steady habits." the
judge reported that the people of
this state permit themselves to. ho
“stung“ just about as painfully as
the rest of the country.
