Tho secretary, speaking before tho Uni

congress had during the last year, listened

against tho money trust, there was' a lion
In tho path," tho secretary said.
"That Hon was a pernicious and Invis

accomplished, before any pledge could be
kept, the lobby had to bo uncovered and
destroyed. Woodrow Wilson has done
nothing that will free legislative bodies
from the miasma that affects them equal
to his victory over the lobby, won in the

figures complied by the police, and 260,000,
which Is the estimate given In platform
speeches. Careful Inquiry shows that
thero are 60,000 In Lelnster, which takes
tho lead, about 45,000 in Ulster (Increasing
rapidly), 85,000 In Munster. and 25,000 la
Conhiugh't.
Tho difficulty of exact estimate arises
froth the "fast that the movement Is not
organized from tho- centre. Forces havo
sprung up spontaneously In every parish,
nnd no far a'ro only loosely connected
with tho provisional central body. Thero
has been a complete wiping out ot all
class distinctions, and tho rank and file
lncludo every grade farmer, lnborers.
nhop assistants, clerks, doctors, lawyers
and country gentlemen. Thero is a very
strong leaven of tlmo-explrcd soldiers-
old Connaught rangers. Dublin fuslleera
and Munster fuslleors, and their experts
ence Is proving useful In the drill.
Officer of Experience.
Tho chief military commanders nro
rVilnnt.1 Mnuricn Moore, who commanded.
the Connaught rangers In the Boer war,
and Captain White, a son of the General
Vhlt who defended Ladysmlth. Recent
accessions are Sir Henry Grattan Bellew,
a grandson of the great Henry Grattan,
who had experience In the fifth Dragoon
guards; and Captain Belllngham, brother
nf thn mnrchlnncss of Bute, who la nt
present an nlde-de-camp to tho lord
lieutenant. Military experience, nowever
slight, Is at a premium, and a medical
student, with a llttlo volunteer training.
Is commanding as sergeant a squad which
Includes among the privates, a univer
sity professor of law.
The nrmy has extremely little equip
ment nnd almost no money. But tho
material Is excellent and the enthusiasm
unbounded. Mr. Redmond's open associa
tion with the movement will remove tho
difficulty of getting money. The men in
charge of the movement aro for the most
part unknown and thero has been much
reluctance to provide funds till the publlo
knew who would spend the money and!
for what.
Htrnnic Central "Iloily.
Tho central body consists ot twenty
five men, of them fifteen are said to bo
Homo Rulers. In eympathy with Mr. Rod-
mond, but the more active, Influential
nnd effective spirits are members of the
Sinn Fein party. They have tew sup
porters In the country and tho great bulk
ot tho volunteers aro supporters of Red
mond. Mr. Redmond offered his co
operation to the central body If he was
allowed to nomlnato an equal number
of men on It. pending the election ot the
Volunteer branches of the central execu
tive. Falling acceptance he will recom
mend each county to govern Itself.
This offer was rejected on a hastily
summoned meeting of tho executives
who proposed that each county should
elect a representative to sit with them.

'The River of Doubt"
Newspaper advertising is to
many businesses still a "River
of Doubt."
Their maps are wrong that's
what's the matter.
If they will ask some of the
hardy explorers among nation
al and local advertisers they
will find the river a most
pleasing place.
It 1b really the river of suc
cess. Its banks are lined with dol
lars which come back in the
boats of men who make the
journey.
There is no other kind ot ad
vertising so immediately and
consistently productive aa
newspaper advertising.
