address before the \u201cY\u201d Speaker\u2019s i Club at its regular meeting, the Padlock Law being the principal topic of his talks.Firstly, stated the speaker, the law is an atrocious attack on democracy, is unconstitutional and actually encourages the communistic ideas which it is supposed to oppose.History, he continued, proves that any movement which is persecuted thrives as a result of persecution.He also endeavored to show that this law has in it a definite element of Fascism.Eternal vigilance is the price we must pay for Democracy, stated Mr.Rothney-, and added that in years to come he hoped our children would have no reason to blame the young people of the present generation for letting this type of thing have a ruinous effect on this Democ-ractic Province.The speaker was thanked by Mr.Christison, afterwards a question period ensued during which many interesting points were brought to light by the speaker.The chairman, Mr.McMurray.| asked for a more complete list of names of members who are taking part in the proposed Mock Parliament meeting which is being held on Monday, April 4th, at Trinity Hall.Members of the Speaker\u2019s Club are hoping to make this last meeting a fitting climax to a very successful season.Delegates or representatives from various societies both in the city and outside are taking part j in this Mock Parliament meeting, | and it should prove well worth while j for anyone who cares to attend.j The meeting adjourned after the members had agreed next weeks meeting would be Open Forum with ] Francis Hoye taking charge.There j are to be two rather weighty sub- I jects under discussion namely, Communism and Fascism.There are still several members ! who are slightly in doubt as to the ! true meaning of the respective terms ; and it will be an opportunity for the other members to impart this knowledge to their less fortunate colleagues.ROAD ACCIDENT BADLY INJURES LOCAL WOMAN Mrs.Antonin Carrier in Critical Condition from Injuries Received When She Ran into Car While Running Across Street.Mrs.Antonin Carrier, 8 Biron Lane, East Sherbrooke, is in a serious condition at St.Vincent de Paul Hospital suffering from bruises and lacerations received early last evening when she struck the side of an automobile while running across King street west near the Lansdowne Market.An employee of Ruben\u2019s, the woman was coming from work when the accident occurred.The car, driven by Ethelbert Bourret, 111-c Brooks street, was travelling in the direction of East Sherbrooke.Hurrying across the street from the plant where she worked, Mrs.Carrier ran directly into the side of the machine.Dr.Louis Gagnon, St.Vincent de» Paul Hospital interne, said at noon today that the woman\u2019s con-erious.\u201d Democratic Spirit Of Irish People Praised Rev.Thomas Walsh, Loyola University Professor, Told Rotarians More Has Been Done for Freedom and Liberty by Irish than Any Other Race\u2014Claimed Ireland Working for Understanding with England.too, is a motherland and should be differentiated from countries such as Canada and Australia, which owe their existence to the British Empire, while this is not the case .witJi Ireland, Rev.Walsh held.A great deal has been done by-Ireland to further her ideals and TRYING EXPERIENCE FOR JEWISH COUPLE Intrinsically a democratic people, the Irish have done more to foster the principles of liberty and freedom than, any other race in the five : hundred million British Empire sub-j jects, declared Rev.Thomas Walsh' in an address before members of' the Sherbrooke Rotary Club at their ' meeting last evening in the New] other nations could profit by these Sherbrooke House.Rev.Walsh, a,ideals and by the teachings of De son of Mr.and Mrs.J.H.Walsh and | Valera, the speaker believed.De a brother of Rotarian T.G.Walsh, Valera is building a conservative of this city, is a professor of Loyola]and workable people, he said, teach-University, Montreal.\tj ing them that every man must «arn Speaking of the Irish who came ini a living, large numbers to Canada and the j Many Irish still believe they were United States during the period [ the first people to discover America, when migration from their native Rev, Walsh told the Rotarians, witn land was at its peak, Rev.Walsh ; Saint Brendan\u2019s voyage here in the said they were for the most part; sixth century.Although this is repoor peasants and brought with garded as a myth in many quarters, them a dt^oeraey for which the] an extensive bibliography has been rest of the Empire should give due written on it and the historian, De credit.\tRoo, devoted tw-o volumes to the None of the Irish nobility came : subject.A number of Irishmen are to the\tNew World during\tthis\talso said\tto have sailed with Eric period,\the stated, the nobles\tthe Red,\tand it is recorded in the going to\tthe Continent where\tthey\tarchives\tof Eric the Red that one founded\tfamilies spread over\tEu-\t\u201cWilliam\tAyres, an Irishman of rope today, such as the O'Rourkes Galway, went with Columbus to of Russia; the O\u2019Donnells of Spain, ] America.\u201d *¦ CITY BRIEFLETS Telephone Woodman\u2019s for Lee ] Parker\u2019s, of Hatley, new- maple ; syrup.PHONE 3060 For All repairs KELLER-CROSS Limited 70 Wellington St.N.The W.C.T.U.Medal Contest will ho held in the Mitchell School on Wednesday, March 30th, and not tonight.I Special mixed spring flowers, l | doz, 50c, delivered.\u2014Henry Wooller-j ton, 50 Kingston Ave.Phone 257F.Sol Niloff in Bankruptcy.Entire stock of men and boy\u2019s ready to | wear on sale Thursday.Mar.24th.Biggest bargains Sherbrooke has [over seen.Stock must be sold out jat once.Fixtures for sale.All ac-1 counts receivable must be settled, j Please call at the premises.All future meetings of the Junior Welfare League will be held at Y.W.C.A., Moore St.commencing this Fri.Records of March 19th wanted.\u2022Phone 04, Don\u2019t forget the Silver Minstrels, all ladies cast, St.Andrew's Ch.Hall, Mar., 24 and 25, 8 p.m.Adults 35c, children 15c Fri.night onlv.DISTILLED AND BOTTLED IN CANADA 25 oi, *1.60\t-\t40 ez.*2.70 Mother: \u201cJohnnie, you must go down ami sec the new nurse.Go and give her a nice kiss-\u2019\u2019 Johnnie: \u201cNo fear!

Alexander Horan, 86 Champlain street, Sherbrooke, engineer of the train which ran over the young woman, and Ernest Darby, forty-five, fireman.An eye-witness of the tragedy.Paiiseau testified he first noticed Miss Roy when, as he glanced out of a window, he saw her separate from several girls with whom she was walking and start down the railway track in the direction of Len-noxville.The other girls crossed the foot-path over the rails.Soon after starting down the track, bliss Roy turned and looked behind her, but as the approaching train was then hidden by a curve, she continued walking, the witness declared.He also said he heard tho engine whistle blow when the engineer sighted .Miss Roy, but she apparently did not hear it.Engineer Horan, at the throttle of the Lake Megantic-bound freight, testified his engine was rounding the curve when he first saw the girl walking between the rails on the left side.He started blowing the whistle when he realized the young woman Was apparently unaware of the approaching train and said she had ample time to escape if she had heard the warning.Horan stated the train was travelling eighteen or twenty miles an hour at the time.When he saw Miss Roy had not heeded the whistle, he threw on the emergency brake and closed the steam, the sixty-year-old engineer testifed, but was unable to stop the heavy train in time to avoid the smash.Horan declared he did not seo the girl look back.His testimony was corroborated by Fireman Darby.The report stating the causes of death was given by Dr.E.Deschene.The jury comprised Napoleon Ruel.Roland' Arpin, Alfred La-france, D.Aube.Alec McGuire and W.Ruel.IV.H.Lynch.K.C.attended the inquest on behalf of the Canadian Pacific Railway.i and the MacMahons and Hennessys In comparison with the rest of - j\tof France.\ti the world, Ireland was\thighly civil- London, March 23.\u2014f/P)\u2014A\tGer-;
