ANCIENT IRELAND RICH FIELD FOR RESEARCH “It is a far cry from the Golden Gate cove of Cork, but when our guest s across the continent and over the farther ocean he will bear a message and a token of substantial recognition from the people of the Pacific Coast of their interest in the cause of which he is the foremost exponent and evangel. y| “It is claimed for the Irish that they were the fosters of classical as well as common instruction when their neighbor- ing islands were in the arrears of civiliza- tion, and certanly there is abundant evi- dence preserved in the archives of an- tiquities in the nationalimuseums to sup- port their pretensions. The ancient docu- ments and muniments of title to consider- ation in this respect are as pumerous as they are curlous and interesting, not only to the antiquary, but to all who appre- ciate these rare treasures the testimonlies of the times when Ireland was an independent nation, the center of liberal science and fine arts | and the abode of many forms of indus- trial activity, being rich in naturai re- sources and | and a prosperous population. | “In the process of centuries of oppres- son and persecution conditions changed; poverty became the portion of the people and their opportunities for education were | diminished, but their desire was never destroyed. “No matter how grievous their burden knowledge has ever been acute.” At the conclusion of Judge Coffey’s | speech Dr. Douglas Hyde was intro- duced. After the clamor of applause and cheers had subsided the guest of the evening pleasantly retorted upon Judge Coffey with the Gaelic quotation printed after his Honor's name on the menu, won the laughter as well as the applause of his audience at the | start. SAN FRANCISCO AFFORDS GREAT ENCOURAGEMENT ‘I can hardly express my feelings to- nig! when I lopk around me at this magnificent banquet at which I know is gathered together all that is bestand worthiest and highest in the Irish race of this most lovely of all lovely citles; this sparkling gem of the American continent. ‘I have met no such demonstration as this since I came to America. I feel overpowered at the sense of my own unworthiness. Gentlemen, I desire em- phatically to say that I accept this | 8reat honor which you are conferring on me, not on my own behalf: but I accept it gratefully and thankfully as your tribute of appreciation to the movement which I have the good for- tune to represent. ‘I cannot tell you the immense pleas- | ure it has given me to come to this city. I have now been in about forty cities of the United States, and in none of them have I found a kindlier greeting; in none of them a more sympathetic audience; in none of them a more Irish foeling; but, indeed, that was what I knew and expected beforehand, for I knew that men of the Irish race have been the pioneer founders of this city, and they have grown up in it, and it is only right and proper that they should impress upon it, as perhaps upon no other city in the States, the marks of | their own great civilization. And, gen- tlemen, what a civilization that has been. “We should never for one moment forget the great heritage that lies be- hind us. It was our ancestors, the an- cestors of the men whq are here to- night, who first sowed the seeds of civ- ilization and of Christianity in Western Europe. We are the only people who have a complete record of our own past, in a literature of our own, extending back into the times of the pagans. It is our literature which has left behind | it the longest, the most luminous and the most consecutive track of any in Western Europe, except that of Greece | alone. Once this is accom- | | as LEARNING MAINTAINED THROUGH DARK CENTURIES “It is not too much to say that dur- ing the horror and darkness and confu- sion of the Middle Ages the Irish race, and it alone, held for more than three centuries aloft the torch of learning and of plety in the torch race of marn- kind, because for hundreds of years be- forc the English language had arisen e conglomeration of Anglo-8axon and Norman French, hundreds of years before the Langue d'0il land the Langue d’Oe bad struggled for mastery upon the plains of France; hundreds of years before the language of Nibelungenlied had arisen upon | the ruins of Gothie, Irelend swarmed with saga writers and saga tellers and epic poems and the count- less hosts of illuminated books of the men of Erin and Angus, the culdee, had called them a century before the birth of William the Conqueror filled the isl- {and from shore to shore, and our na- tion was universally known at that time as the Insula Scholarum et Sanetorum. “What millions of Irishmen ignored these things! What millions of Irish- men are ignorant of them! This ignor- ance is attributable to the fact that we have no university of our own to inves- tigate these matters and we are driven for our information to foreign sources. “A remarkable by-product of the league to which I wish to call your attention has been its great Influence in the cause of Irish sobriety. Father Aloysius, the great temperance reformer in Dublin, sald to few years for the cause of temperance in Ireland than all the temperance socleties had done since the death of Father Mathew. MUCH GOOD WORK DONE AGAINST LIQUOR EVILS “About three years ago the Gaelic League determined that the name of Ire- land’s patron Saint should be celebrated as a national holiday. They approached the large traders, the stock exchange, the banks and other big business houses in Dublin with a view to having them close voluntarily upon that day, which they consented to do. The saloon-Keepers of Dublin alone held out, but by bringing violent public pressure to bear upon them, 40 per cent of them closed in that year; 5 per cent the ensuing year and 60 per cent this year, and we have since passed & bill through Parliament making St. Pat- relics of a race that| blessed with a fruitful soil | of enforced ignorance, their appetite for j rick’s day a bank holiday for Government officials, as well as for the rest of the public. “Lord Dunraven, whose name has been so frequently mentioned of late in connec- tion with the guestion of devolufion, had the carriage of this bill through the House of Lords; and he telegraphed over to know if it were our wish that the saloons should be closed by law on St. Patrick’s day. This telegram was brought to me for my opinion upon it, and I said distinctly, ‘No.' ‘If we cannot close them by the force of public opinion in Dublin, I shall not be any party to closing them by compulsion by the London Parliament,’ was the stand I took. 3 “I look forward to a gredt and eman- cipated Ireland in the future. For the first time we have brought together Cath- | olic and Protestant, landlord and tenant, Unionist and Nationalist in a cause that is national without being political and we are realizing the fond dream of Thomas Davis: ow every race and every creed Can be by love combined.” ARCHBISHOP TOASTS GEORGE WASHINGTON In introducing Archbishop Montgom- ery, the toastmaster said: “The great- est friend that Ireland ever had, and the greatest man that ever lived was George Washington. By a fortunate coincidence we have our guest with us this evening on the eve of the natal day | of the great Washington, and I pledge you in silence, standing, George Wash- ington.” At the first mention of the name of America’s hero the clatter of knives and forks and whispered asides ceased almost simultaneously, and when Judge Coffey had ceased speaking the im- mense hall was still. With one accord all rose to their feet and in silence drank to the memoty of the immortal father of his country.” Judge Coffey then introduced Arch- bishop Montgomery by referring to the death of Richard Montgomery, one of the early Revolutionary heroes. Archbishop Montgomery invoked the | blessing of heaven upan the great work | to which Dr. Hyde has dedicated his life | and sald that much of the misgiving as | to the success of the linguistic movement in Ireland was being rapidly dissipated. He said that the two things that should | encourage the faint-hearted were the sympathy and support of scholars and educators and the character of the Irish people themselves. In responding to his toast, “Civil and Religious Liberty,” the speaker sald that the “battle God gave Ireland to fight was for civil and re- ligious liberty.” Judge Coffey then introduced James D. Phelan, who, in response to his toast, “The United States,” spoke of the early struggles of the colonies for independ- | ence and their resistance of oppression. | He spoke of Dr. Hyde as the exponent of the self-same cause in which the colonies | engaged and which conferred upon them | their national existence. He then ple- | tured America as she is now, a world | power great and powerful, feared, re- spected and loved, a refuge for the op- | pressed and having a moral Influence that cannot be jgnored. HUNDREDS DRINK TO PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT A toast was then proposed by the | toastmaster to Theodore whereupon applause and cheers again swept the room. Many telegrams from | members and friends throughout the United States and Ireland were received, but vproved of too great a number to be read. . Govérnor Pardee, the next speaker, re- | sponded to the toast “The State of Cali- | fornia.” The Governor, on behalf of the million | and a quarter inhabitants of California, welcomed Mr. Hyde as the man who will save Gaelic from the limbo of for- gotten languages; who will save a virile language for a virlle people. Governor Pardee also spoke of the purity of the Irish language as closely allled with the mother tongue of the Aryan race, and sald that it had remained practically un- contaminated by outside influences. On behalf of the city of Ban Francisco Mayor Eugene E. SBchmitz responded. He spoke of the early days in California and particularly in this city. He also told of the names of the famous Irishmen of bygone years and what they had done toward upbuilding the city by the Golden Gate. He closed by extending the hospi- tality of the city to Dr. Hyde. 1 Chief Justice W. H. Beatty of the Su- preme Court replied on behalf of the judi- clary, He sald the interpretation and en- forcement of right laws were necessary to the existence of a free people. He further spoke of the laws and legal af- fairs of Ireland. SPEECHES SHORTENED ‘WHEN LIGHTS GO OUT The length of the programme neces- sarily shortened the speeches of many of the orators of the evening, and just be- fore the end of the banquet a great fire in_the San Francisco Gas and Electric Company's station caused the lights to be extinguished, and although the speech- making was finished by candlelight, tiie guests were sent groping in the parlors of the hotel for their coats and hats. Frank J. Sullivan, in response to the toast, “Exiles of Erin,” told of the driv- ing of the patriots from their homes, of their seeking refuge in America- and other lands open to the depressed, also of the subsequent work of these men and their descendants In the land of their adoption. John McNaught responded with a brief address to ‘‘The Press” and President Benjamin Ide Wheeler of the University of California spoke of the inheritance of the people in any land and their right to a heritage of the blessings and bene- fits of their own country. The Rev. John P. Frieden of the Soclety. of Jesuits spoke of Gaelic in the col- | leges, and Michael O'Mahony, one of ‘the foremost Gaelic educators of San Fran- cisco, spoke a short address in the lan- guage of the Gael. The Rev. F. Clampett and the Rev. Peter C. Yorke concluded the programme. IR RS GUESTS AT HYDE DINNER. Men Who Admire Master of Gaelic Lore Meet at Festal Board.
