BRYAN TALKS AT A PICNIC.

Hon. VIM. j. Bryan delivered an ad.
dress at Democratic pic mic last Sat.
urday In a Chicago park, and among
other things is reported to have said :
1--WE are handicapped just now by
Inc TACT that the last Democratic adj
m1nistratiOn that we had was more
suDseryient to corporate dictation than
any Republican administration that
mad preceded 1t, and the record of that
administration has been a milestone
about the party's neck ever since
The influence exerted by Wall Street
over the administration s policy. the
use OF patronage to reward those who
betrayed their constituents. and the
employment of the most reprehensibIe
OF Republican methods made the ad.
mlnlstration stencil in the nostriIs
OF the people and kept in the Republi-
can party many who were dispusted
at that party's course.
The 0dium which Mr.. Cleveland's
second administration brought upon
the party which elected him did more
10 defeat the party than any one plank
OF the Chicago platform or even than
az the planks that were severely criti-
clsed. But for the reputation of the
administration. it would have been
Impossible to make any campaign at
an, ana even the reputation, thorough
aug complete as 1t was, could not COM
pletely disinfect the party.n
This will give some of our friepds
opportunity to grow red in the face
and swell with righteous indignation

any, if the truth could he ascerta ined,
but it is disloyal, we are told, To insin-

that the country now is convinced that
the whole system is rotten to the core

gether by an organization known as

low movement that brought about the
happy result which Irishmen all over
the world have long desired. That
party decided to send Hon. Joseph
Devlin to the United States to form
branches Of the United Irish League
as an AUXILIARY to the Irish parliament
tary party in the house of commons.
He has been very successful in his
work and as the representative of
United Ireland, say that it is our
duty as Irishmen to hear what he has
to say and to give our hearty support
to the new movement, which is I'M
doubtedly doing good work. Help it

II any other man, or body of men,
have anything better to offer for Ire

come forward and give us their plan
OF action. If not, then let them keep
their silence The cause of Ireland
is greater than any man OF any organi-
Zation. Any lrisllnmn who puts an
obstacle in the way of the United Irish
League is an enemy of Ireland. The
future of Ireland is very bright at the
present day and it should make every
Lrishman rejoice that such happy
state of affairs has come around at

at the present day, and prove to our
foes that we meant what we saiu when
we resolved not to aid them when dis

Dominican House Of Studies viii Be
Splendid Building.

The accompanying cut shows the
dominican House of Studies as it will
appear when completed. The building
will be erected in Washington in the
immediate neighborhood Of the Cath
Ollie University, and will, it is said, be
the h:1ndsomest of the cluster of beau
tiful buildings which make that Sec
ton of the Capital City so distinctive.
1t will cost not less that 1925, OOO.. As
will be seen, it is treated in strict
Gothic style, and therefore fits well
with the traditions of the Dominican
Order, which are all of an aclnowl-
edged preference for the Gothic.
Moreover, 1T will be beautiful re-
ni1nier of the glorious ages of Faith,
and Of the need in this our day of
something of that rugged spirit which.
gave to the Church those giants of the
Middle Age.

Why It synpa,Aiz.. VITA lab.r.

The 'Casket'' declares that the
smuggling of a non-union man" is no
more morally wrong than the DELHI
crate running of another mans bust
ness. 1.-The latter is just as wrong
as the former" says our esteemed con-
temporary. 1.-The independent bus
mess man is considered an enemy of
the trust combine; the non-union man,
an enemy of the union. There Is this
difference, however: any workman
may join the union; not every indie
pendent business man may join the
combine, but only those whom the
organizers of the combine think It
worth while to admit. There is an
other difference: when capital COM
mits its acts of violence, labor suffers
again; it pays the penalty Of ITS crime.
Capital never suffers, never bears any
penalty at the hand OF labor; it only
suffers when overcome by superior
capital. Therefore our sympathies are
always with labor"

ing needs Of the Province, for over and.

received ministrations from the Dom.
imcans Of this Province. Besides. its
situation Is too remote from the INTEL
lectual centers of our country, and
these are the centers with which the
dominican Order has ever since its
foundation been everywhere in closest
touch. Therefore Washington was de-
cided upon, by reason of the presence
there of the Catholic University.
though the Dominican studium will
in no wise be affiliated with
the University. The Professors fill
ling the various chairs in the
House of Studies are all Domin-
leans who have taken the degrees in
the celebrated European Universities
OF the Order. At their head is the
Very Rev. D. J. Kennedy, Regent, who
Is we'll known as an excellent theelosi-
an and who while still in his twenties
was called to the University Of Fri
hourg to fill the chair Of Thomistic
Philosophy. Among the other profess
sors are found specialists in Canon
Law, Church History and The various
departments of Scripture Studies.
The erection Of this buildingsis large
ly due to the untiring zeal and inspir-
ing enthusiasm of the present PROVING
al Father kearney. Having himself
enjoyed excellent opportunities sew
eral European Universities, he ap-
preciates the immense benefit which
comes from living in an intellectual
center and the stimulating effect of an
occasional crossing OF swords with the

The thing is to be cheerful under dis

there is sickness Of self or of those

to be cheerful !, When poverty punches
day after day, month after mouth or
Through the years as they pass, and
one has ever to deny self of every lit
tie longed-lor luxury, and the puzzle
Of how to make one dsllar do the work

Is a greater hero than the soldier who

fulness is the kind that we need TO
cultivate. =, -.
