It is, then, entirely fitting that we who are proud to oall ourselves Irish, or even those of u s who own Irish terriers, to rise up and refute these utterly unfounded statements. Think of the numerous crimes which would be perpetrated were it not for that noble character, the Irish policeman. We shudder at the thought of a world without juke boxes which play “The Old Irish Washerwoman.” Think of the gloomy earth deprived of corned beef and cabbage, *1116 Wearin’ of The Green,” and “Wrong Way" Corrigan. Consider even the moaning of bagpipes. If it weren’t for the Irish, the Scotch wouldn’t have ever adopted this instrument. The story runs thus: It is said that the Irish invented the bagpipes and sold them to the Scotch as a joke, but the Scotsmen never caught on. And we remind you that Charley McCarthy is an Irishman. Another boon we owe to the illustrious men of Eire is mulligan stew. And those of us who are wont to exclaim “aw Blarney!” would be minus a favorite ejaculation if it were not for the Irish, who invented the Blarney stone. These and numerous other boons to mankind and to The Abbott are too many to mention. And so, we. the “Society for the Protection and Encouragement of Irishmen,” sijrn off.
