MR. DOOLEY ON RAGE QUARRELS.

■». | In a long discourse on tho Vancouver riots, Mr. Dooley chuckles quietly over tho comments of tho London Press concerning the San Francisco outrages, lie ' concludes move seriously: — "I suppose th' truth iv it is that yo can't tako a rule an' dhraw a red liile acrost, a map an' maka much diJFrenc© between th' people on wan side or another iv th 1 lino. If people lived on maps 'ttriid bo aisy. Uut they don't. I wudden't wai^, to be a Canajcen, though 'tis a pleasanl counthry they live in. I_ wanst spent a few 'hours* thero nssistin' in freein' Ireland be chasm' a let-ter-carryer through a village sthrect, an' whin I come back to his hero land* iv th' freo I was arrested an' locked up in Buffalo. Mat yo cudden't pick out a Canajecn fr'm nnuy other kind iv un Ameiican. They look like us, they usa I.l*' same kind iv^money, an' tliey talk almost- ns good English as we do. Politickally they don't agree with us, but no more does Texas agree with Maine. They ain't army rale diff'rerice between th 1 American Americans who fought th' Japs .at San Francisco an' ih' Canajwn Americans that fought thim ab Vancouver. They sling 'GAvrtl save th' King,' but so wucl I if he gave mo rent an' I wasn't afraid I'd choke smgin' it. 'Tis aisy to be seen that niost iv the Canajecns who come co this counthry come fr"ni th' part it Canada that's most like' England ; an' Won Americans go to Qanncla they go to the part that's most like America.' 1 "I wondher why iliey don't shako off th' Saxon' yoke," said Mr. Honnessy. " Wud yet want to shako off th' yoke iv a. r-iglit watckman th-.it paid ye' oomethuig f'r his sarviccs?" said My. Uooloy. "But what are Ih' Japs goin' to do 'if nobody will kt thim h\'(" "What wud ye do if lvry time ye wint out iv dures somebody threw a rock at yeT "I'd slay at home," said ilr. Hennessy. "Ati, that," said Mr. llooley, "may bo \vbnl Hi Japs'll have to do. Bs th' look!) iv things I things I think th' tuns is eomin* whin 'twill be well fr lvry body to stay at home that don't want his head bioke. 1 '
