WILL PARLIAMENT SURVIVE?

1t is to be hoped that the trouble
which Colonial Secretary Chamberlain
has stirred up in the Balfour cabinet
by his protective tariff proposition,
will not cause dissolution of parlia-
ment before the Irish Land Purchase
bill becomes law. The bill has
passed the second reading, but there
are several amendments proposed by
the Irish members to be considered
and debated. In view of the present
grave position Of the present British
cabinet, dissolution of parliament
might easily be forced before the final
enactment of the bill. No doubt the
Irish members will render all pos
sible aid to Mr.. Balfour's government
in order to put off a dissolution until
the Land bill is disposed of. The
Irish members have no sympathy
whatever with Chamberlains inn
perialistic schemes and can have moth
ing but dislike for Chamberlain and
his record But they will swallow a
good deal until the Wyndham meas
ure is passed. Whether or not the
present parliament will live to the
end of it's term depends apparently
upon whether Chamberlain will be
able to force his tariff ideas upon Mr..
Balfour and his associates. If Cham
berain succeeds in doing that. it
seems now as if even the aid of the
Irish members will not suffice to
save the government from an adverse
vote in the house of Commons. If the
present cabinet survives the prospects
for the passage of the Land Purchase
bill, with such amendments as will
make it satisfactory to the Irish peo-
pie. are excellent. Let us hope that
it will survive. The Land bill is not
all that Ireland needs and desires, but
the Irish people do want that. They
have said so themselves, and they
ought to be the best judges of their
own wants. At the convention recent
ly held in the Mansion House at Dub
lin. 1000 delegates elected by the Irish
people said by an almost unanimous
vote that they desired the Land Pur-
chase bill to pass. We know what the
Irish people in Ireland want and we
want them to have what they want.

active part in the campaign, and they
kept the pledge. Furthermore, the
most active worker of all the candi-
dates was badly defeated, and there
is not the slightest indication that
stump-speaking elected any one.
FINALLY, although wire pulling was
much too great a factor in the nomin-
ating conventions, the election proved,
broadly speaking, that it is not the
"tine work" but the character Of the
candidates that appeals to the public"
1t is not strange that Judge Elliott
should take his stand in favor of
judges taking part in political cam
paigns, for he would not be true to
himself unless he did. The chara cter
of the campaign which he waged in
1900 stamps him as thorough adj
vocate Of the Judge in politics." He
is probably the most conspicuous bene-
ticiary of that system in the state of
Minnesota. While we believe that
trial judges should be elected by the
people and should be answerable to
them for their conduct in office, yet
we believe they should be elected at
time when there are no political
questions up for consideration in order
that the ability, experience, probity
and temperament of the candidates
may be considered instead of their
political beliefs. While it is true that
in some cases young men elected to
the bench in time become good judges,
it is nevertheless true that it is
cheaper and better to train young men
to become good lawyers first. In the
one case only the clients Of the particu-
lar young lawyer suffer, while in the
other all litigants suffer.

DIVORCE FIGURES.

Rev. William O'Brien Pardow,
formerly Jesuit provincial of New
York and president Of st. Francis
Xavier college, says that 100000
divorces have been granted in the
United States in the last twenty years,
and 100000 children rendered home
less. The number Of people divorced
would aggregate more than the popu-
lation of any one of twenty-five diff
ferent states and territories. These
figures are appalling, and it is high
time that the question of divorce
should agitate the different churches
in the United States. There seems
to be a well defined movement among
the Protestant churches to unite in
a fight against the divorce evil. The
method to be employed is for minis
tcrs to refuse to marry a divorced
person. OF course, the Catholic
Church has been fighting divorce for
1000 years. 1t recognizes no ground
for divorce and has always refused to
marry divorced persons. The result
of this teaching is noticeable in Cath
Ollie countries where divorces are of
comparatively infrcquent occurrence.
The Protestant churches should in
their crecds oppose divorce. II all
churches opposed divorce and refused
to marry divorced people strong in
fluence would thus be brought to bear
upon society. Even if such action did
not appeal to the religious and moral
sentiments of all people, it would
create social ostracism which would
have deterrent effect. 1t is indeed
a good sign to see the churches unit
ing in crusade against an evil
which is threatening and has such far
reaching results.
Father Pardow has lately made a
statement based upon statistics, in
; which he says:
''In these days of modern civiliza-
ton. we glory in the hOrseless car
riage, smokeless powder and wireless
biography; soon we will be coming
to the motherless child and the child
less mother. More than 100000 di-
vorces have been granted in the
United States during the last twenty
years. Think of the homes broken
up. the children whose parents are
separated. the untold misery that such
state of affairs brings about!
There are to-day in this land prob
ably as many as 100000 children
who have not what we call real

Now District Attorney Folk of St..
Louis is spoken of for the Democratic
nomination for president. 1t would
not be at all strange if the next
nominee were some one yet unmen-
toned in that connection. No poll
teal prophet would have named
Hayes, six months in advance of the
Republican convention in 1876, nor
Garfield in 1880, nor Harrison in 1885,
Neither would any one have suggested
Bryan a year in advance of the Demo-
cratic convention of 1896. A single
speech nominated him. AS far as ac-
complishment goes Mr.. Folk is of
presidential caliber. He has great
ability and is absolutely fearless.
Tilden won the nomination for gov
ernor of New York by his fight against
Tweed, and when an able Democrat
presidency is always a possibility.
Cleveland was nominated for governor
of New York in 1882, because neither
of the Democratic factions were
strong enough to nominate the man it
wanted, so all factions united on a
man that none wanted, and his
triumphant election started him on
the road to the White House. 1t is
possible if not probable that the Demo-
cratic nominee for 1904 has not yet
been mentioned. There is an election
to take place on the 3rd day of next
November in the city of New York
that may determine who shall be the
candidate.

City Attorney Joseph w. Folk of
st. Louis, who has been prosecuting
the boodlers, refused the offer of a
$4,000 residence rendered him by the
citizens of st. Louis, says Mr.. Bryan
in the Commoner. Mr.. Folks action
in the matter will not only commend
him to the public generally, but will
leave him free to do his duty without
fear or favor. There is an old proverb
which suggests that gift is more
expensive than purchase, and it is
worthy to be borne in mind. When
!. one pays his own way he is more in
dependent than he is when he is the
recipient of pecuniary favors. Will
the Republican papers that are COM
mending Mr.. Folk draw parallel
between house, such as Mr.. Folk re-
fused, and railroad train such as the
president accepted?

up-to-Date Catholic Young Men.

With God in your hearts, and right
in your lives and courage in your
souls, you must not fail, you cannot
fail, you will not fail, says the West
ern Waterman. In the words of the
great Richelieu, Gin the lexicon of
youth there is no such word as fail"
In a better cause than Macbeth's,
screw your courage to the sticking
place and then you will not fail. Like
the knights of Rhodes, who broke
forever the power of Saracen in
Europe in such cause as yours, with
the cry upon your lips of the knights
in their last great battle, God wills
it," there is no such thought as fail;
for you are the David of the Christian
people, and the God of armies is with
you. Young men of the twentieth
century, in the cause of God and of
truth and of right will you fail? No!
The courage and the grandeur of
your youth and the faith of your God
within you sets your heart beating
faster and higher and your answer is,
with God with us we shall never
fail.' The world will be better, his
tory will be purer, the nation will be
grander and nobler that you Catholic
young men have lived in this twenti-
eth century.
And here. dear young men, is the
great work Of your life:
To be faithful to your God in liv-
ing up with the teachings of your
Church in an unbelieving world.
To be pure in your lives in spite
of the corruption and immortality and
evil around you.
To be courageous in the fight you
will have to make against the unbe-
lief and the wickedness that would
steal from you your faith and your
virtue and make your life wreck.
For without God without integrity of
life, We're you possessed of millions,
We're you the greatest inventor of the
century. had YOU greater power than
any man living. your life is wreck
and failure, for you were made for
the life to come.
