Influence Widespread.

ST. Paul, June 25.--Archbishop Ireland,
addressing the graduating class of st. Jo-
seph's College yesterday said:
zone OF the great evils OF the present
time is that women in so-called society
are coming to regard with more and more
toleration breaches OF moral and civic
laws committed by their own sex
"ln our hurried modern life. when men
are devotng themselves almost entirely
TO things material, women should pre-
serve the moral and spiritual side of ex-
istence. II they do not the world may
well fear
The great fault OF American educa-
tion is lack OF seriousness There Is no
depth OF thought. consistency OF principle
An intellectual paucity pervades society.
America Is decidedly inferior TO other
countries in intellectual culture.
Il believe In ne intellectual woman
While womaus interest should be pri-
marily in the home there Is no reason
why IL should be confined there. IL is folly
TO belittle woman's influence today, for
IL IS widespread and IL is a power wher-
ever il extends
The Archbishop advised the young
women OF the class TO read serious books,
keep up their studies and take a keen
interest in everything that Is for the bet
terment Of humanity.
He said that Catholic women have often
been unjustly criticised for apparent lack
OF interest in any work that takes them
outside the home. This is evidently due,
he said, TO the Catholic woman's innate
modesty. but he advised the young wom-
en- 10 overcome constitutional timidity
and take up any philanthropic work that
will aid the world

There is doubtless some truth in
the Hopkins story, for it has been
officially given out that the federal
officers in Whatcom county are not
to be removed, as it would cause
political disturbances and factional
lighting that have to some extent
subsidized. 1t is also limited that there
will be no change in the federal Of
ficials holding positions now in KING
county, as they have made very ac-
ceptable officials, and to remove
them might precipitate another bit
ter factional fight, which the leading
Republicans of the state do not care
to see repeated. Bitter political
feuds have run rampant in the Re
publican party in this state for the
past four years, and the leading Re
publicans see that it must finally re-
suit in the complete overthrow of
the Republican party unless headed
off, hence they are advising such
steps to be taken by Senator Foster
in the interests Of no political fac
tons, but in the interests of the Re-
publican party in general.
