The Dominican Order is party dem

many Of the features of our own. lts
officers are all elective and hy "a quail
fed nlanhood suffrage. The chief ex
scutive officers are 'Master General. ,
who resides in Rome and has 1uris
djction over the whole order: next tc
him is the Provincial" who has a lin,
tied territorial jurisdiction over all
priorjes in his province; next comes the
'Prior,' whose authority is limited tc
the local cloister, over which he pre-
sides. The terms of office range, WE
believe, from eight to two years. Ev-
cry professeel Dominican has right to
cast his ballot for his Prior, and una
jorlty of all the ballots cast elect that
officer until his successor is

Provincials are elected in the same way
by the members OF The priories in the
province, who have been professed
members of the order for q certain nun

Master General, is periodically chosen.
And this constitution, guaranteeing
such rights aud prescribing such pro-

When the great Father Tom Burke
was sent, several years ago, by the Mas
ter General, as -'Visitator' Of the
houses of the Ordsr in the United
States, Father Byrne sought AMI OBJ
tainad the privilege of allowing the
Prjors to give missions. The renowned
orator not only approved the plan. but
had it officially sanctioned in Rome. In
this new field of usefulness Father
Stephen was constant laborer almost
to the day of his death. His style OF
oratory was simplicity itself plain.
pointed, practical and appropriate. He
abhored metaphysical subtleties and the
profound nonsense that essayed to de-
fine with mathematical nicely the attri-
butes of God, For the 20 years that the
voice Of the missionary Prior was de
voted to the giving Of retreats in the
various parishes Of this country. the
amount of good effected can be esti-
mated only by the Master in whose ser.
vice he was engaged. At the close Of
each mission, it was his habit to give I a.
