MANY yearo ago I watched the
struggle for supremacy between the
TWO sser cities in the West. Chi
cogo won in spite Of her great dis
%aster, and it was because every New
Years Day the leading men got to-
gether and said, What shall we DO
to make our city greater this year
than the lasl?' We must look ahead.
No man can afford to go backward
Tnisis what The Rev, RoB'T CoLLYER
Of New York said to his congrega-
ton in his New Years morning ser
mon. "W hat sba,l We do to make
our city greater this year than last p
was what the leading men otChicago
asked each other as New Year DIV
came rounds and, ia spite Of her
great disaster, Chicago left St. Louis
behind in the race. WHAT an im
pressi7e lesson TO towns, communi-
ties and individuals is here convey

lead ng men have just been meeting

what they shall do to place our town

Of enterprise and progregsion, and

BISHOP MCQUArE, who takes such
IN active interest in the welfare OF
the British landlords in Ireland
would be IN better business if be
took an interest in the people who
are oppressed by these landlords.
The fact Of the matter is, Bishop
McQUADE nor any Of his stripe have
ever been friends ef the psople who
have made them what they are.
Irishmen, Irish wonen and Irish
children IA starve to death by tina
hundred in the land Of their birth
before the Catholic Church would
think Of disPosing Of its costly ves-
se!s and oInemente, or the Catholic
Bishops think Of sacrificing any Of
their luxuries or. comforts to feed the
hungry people who have frequently
given their all to support these au-
tocrats OF Rome. Itthere is a change
in Irlsh feeling COW, if the Irish peo-
PIE are beginning to find out that
Rome has been a traitor to them in
the past, that she is a traitor to tb en-
at present, and that sbo shows every
symptom of proving e traitor to
them in the future, the Catho!,c
Princes Of Ireland and America will
have Themselves to blame for it. The
fight for liberty mas begun ia Ire
land, and if the Catholic Church
stands IN the way again, as it has
before, 1T is likely to receive no bet
ter treatment than it did in France
at the close of the last century.
