Editor Cough, of the Catholic Sen
tinel, Chippewa Falls, Wis, is skepti-
cal in regard to the lasting character
of the union recently effected by the
Irish parliamentary leaders of factions,
and in view of their conduct during the
past ten years we don't blame hin,
very much. He says: "Talk of Redmond
and Healy, Harrington and O'Brien,
Dillon and Davitt forming union! AS
we'll might we talk of union between
Simon and John at the siege of Jerusa-
lem. We will believe in Irish unity
when all the cranks that have been
gnawing the flesh off each others
bones, and making fun for the world,
by the wickedness of their tongues, are
relegated to the back seats where they
belong, and new men of brains, de-
cency and prudence are elected to sup
ply their places" Be patient, brother
and give them another chance. They
are doing splendidly just now.

and citizens abroad and maintain our
dignity and honor throughout the
world. The argument that S0,000,000
people, electing their own rulers at
short intervals OF time, could have
their liberties endangered by small
force of 100000 men, Is too absurd to
deceive even the unthinking. We are
told. therefore, that this is but the be-
ginning. Such a statement amounts
simply to a declaration that the people
are unfit TO be trusted. The Republic
an party believes that we may do all
that national safety and honor demand
and trust that In the future the people
shall permit this and no more to be
done.
Thus by declaiming necessarily
against imaginary dangers do they
hope to blind the people to the fact that
the Democratic leaders OF today are
the very men who promulgate the wild
vagaries of the Chicago platform. But
the people viii not forget that immedi-
ately upon his Inauguration Mr. Bryan
would order the troops TO be with
drawn from the Philippines, that what
he calls imperialism would be at an
end and that we should ten have four
long years OF Organism and national
liHmilie ton.

Some of the Masons about town are
having laugh among themselves ovss
the misfortune that befell q young civ
Il engineer connected with q hltering
concern in town. He was recently
initiated into a Masonic lodge, and Of
course, received the necessary lamb
skin apron. This he carefully folded
in q bundle, which he took to his home,
where there is sister who is con-
stantly on the lookout for some means
OF adding to the comforts OF life for
this brother. While rummaging about
his room, putting things to rights"
after the fashion OF women, she came
across tho bundle with the apron. OF
course she opened 1t, and. finding what
1t was. decided that the proper thing
for her to do was to put the finishing
touches to the thing, SO that the loved
brother should be thoroughly up to
date. Embroidery silks and needles
were called into requisition during the
hours the brother was away on busi-
ness, and the ornamentation of the
apron WAS UOuo bted1tullys WHICH COLA-
pleted the improved apron was re-
placed where the woman nrst found 1t.
and inclosed in the paper in which it
was originally tied. The brother took
the priced bundle to the lodge at the
next meeting. and being trifie late
had no chance to examine 1t until he
put it about him preparatory to the
opening OF the lodge. Then he hur-
riedly unrolled and tied it on, and went
among the brother Masons to enjoy the
meeting. There was a smile all around
the room as he took his place, and the
young man noticed that his brother
Gasons were cycling him as II he were
the cause for their merriment. Finally
fellow member nudged him and
pointed at his apron. Then the young
Mason almost collapsed, for there en-
broidered on his new apron on one
side was collection OF daisies, while
on the other was a long spray OF for
get-me-nots, the whole in the most
vivid colors. There is ono woman in
town who will let Masonic parapher-

IS HE REALLY BRAVE?

Governor Roosevelt has publicly
declared that all democrats are
dishonest and disorderly at home,
cowardly shirkers abroad"
This rough riding statement
makes it proper to inquire what
Governor Roosevelt's character
may be in regard to courage.
Physical courage, Of course, is
conceded to him.
He had responsible position as
assistant secretary of the navy. In
that position good character, fer>
tility Of resource-had he possessed
either would have made him in>
valuable to the county.
He gave up his position and de>
manded a position in the lime
light. In was given to him. The
plain English OF it was that he had
to have chance to show off He
got the chance and he showed off
we'll. AS leader of his rough
riders he selected an interesting
collection of New York dudes -
and there is not the slightest doubt
that they all showed excellent grit
together. There is no question
that with eighty million people
looking on Roosevelt is physically
brave. But plenty of men are
brave under such conditions even
democrats sometimes. In fact,
there were democrats among the
rough riders.
