Converts In Enoli.h Navy.


The number Of converts in the Eng
lish navy is astonishing. Today five
naval officers of the first rank are
Catholics. This comes from their long
residence among Catholics of the bet
ter classes. The latest news from the
Mediterranean is that Admiral Lord
Walker Kerr, a younger son of the
seventh Marquis Of Lothian, has been
promoted to be an admiral of the feet
in recognition Of the great value to
the navy and the nation of his SO
years of naval service. He entered the
navy at the age Of 10. and is now in
his 65th year. He became Catholic
at the age of Is. His mother and her
two daughters and three other sons
had preceded him into the true fold.
Two Of his brothers, one of whom died
some years ago, entered the Society of
Jesus, and one of his sisters was Ma
dam Kerr, whose sanity life as a
religeuse Of the Sacred Heart is the
subject Of a well-known biography.

initiation. Besides the regular degree
candidates received the adjunct de.
gree Of exalted membership.
That the degrees might be con-
ferred under the best auspices the SER
vices of Brother Jacob F. Mehren of
Chicago, and his we'll known initiation
team had been secured. The six mem
bers of the team displayed Ideal pro.
ficiency.
First of the speakers after the final
initiation was High Chief Ranger T.
H. Cannon of Chicago. He reviewed
the benevolent and social features Of
the order and dwelt upon the advant-
ages of membership.
Frank e. Hoonan of Indiana, one of
the high trustees, discussed the duties
of high court officers. The order, he
said, had it's business as we'll as it's
fraternal duties. The officers of the
high court We're particularly obligated
to protect the interests of all members
by insistence upon business precau-
tons in the matter of life insurance
risks. Applicants for insurance could
not be accepted, nor could death
claims be paid without proper investi-
cation. Members affected by such in
vestigations should stop to consider
how necessary they are to the welfare
Of the order.
Speaking of "Rates of Assessment,
DR.. q. w. Buckley of st. Paul court,
No. 80, explained that if too low rate
were charged in the beginning, men,
bers, as they grow older, would have
to pay rates altogether too high in
order to make up for earlier losses.

History of a Celtic Gross.

A singular chapter of ritualistic con-
troversy was brought to climax at
Bandon, County Cork, Ireland. Visit
ors to that quaint old town now see
standing in public street a Celtic
cross, bearing the inscription:
''This cross was cast out of the Kill
brogan churchyard, Bandon. by the
rector, church wardens and select
vestry, April q, 1903, as being Rom
ish, ritualistic and idolatrous. A sub
sequent application for readmission
was refused, and such refusal was up
held by the decision of the Cork do
cesar court, November q, 1903. It is
now erected here to vindicate the in
suit offered to the cross"
The story of the cross is peculiar.
1t was first erected in Kilbrogan ceme-
terry over the grave of Jack Apple
be by his sister. ''Lest we forget Jack
Applebe," the inscription on it began.
and it ended: "He did his work and
held his peace, and had no fear to die"
The church authorities objected to tho
Celtic cross, but the lady declined to
remove the tombstone. and so the au-
thorities moved it themselves. They
put the elected cross in lane covered
by tarpaulin.
Then an appeal was made to the
diocesan court, which included high
court Judge, and though the court had
no fault to find with the cross, it
could not interfere with the discretion
of the local church authorities. After
this marauders made descent on the
laneway and stole the cross from the
tombstone. The police took up the
matter, and the missing section Of the
tombstone was restored mysteriously.
The rural district council Of Bandon
after this decided on an unprecedented
course. They voted public site in
the most prominent part of the town of
Bandon for the erection of the tomb
stone, the old inscription giving place
to the one it now bears.

POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS.

OF all the Republican aspirants for
the office of county coroner, DR..
James Hynes seems most likely to
win. BY honoring DIR. Hynes, Repub-
lican voters will honor themselves, as
he is a square, straightforward man
and a skillful physician and surgeon.
1t is quite tribute to the good
record of Duncan g. Mackenzie,
county superintendent of schools, that
no one has filed against him for the
Democratic nomination. This was
also the case in 1902. Mr.. Mackenzie
is Republican. but he has been so
fair and impartial in conducting the
work of his office, that both parties
appear to be we'll satisfied. His duties,
too, have been well performed and
the country schools are the gamers
thereby.
Charles S. Cairns, for p years prac-
ticing law in Minneapolis, has filed
for the Republican nomination for
district judge. Mr.. Cairns is con-
sidered by the legal fraternity as be-
ing we'll qualified for the bench. He
was born in Ohio, came to this city
in 1888, and in 1893 was elected to the
legislature; was chairman of the citi-
zens census committee in 1895 and in
1900 was appointed by President Nc
Kinley, at the request of business men,
supervisor of the U. S. census.

THE vERmoNr ELECTION.

According to the prophets the Yer
mont election settles the presidential
campaign, because Vermont gave
larger Republican majority this year
than it did in 1S76-1S84 and 1892 when
the Democrats carried the country.
The reasoning is likely to be falla-
cious. Vermont has no large cities.
1t is state entirely agricultural. The
figures Of elections since 1892 show
that country districts are becoming
more and more Republican, while the
cities are becoming more Democratic.
In 1884 Cleveland's majority in what
constitutes Greater New York was
less than 10000, yet he carried the
state of New York. In 1892 his ma
jority in Greater New York was less
than $4,000 and he carried the state
by $4,000. In 1902 Bird S. Coler car
ried Greater New York by $4,000,
yet he lost the state by 5000 This
shows that rural New York, which
ing more Republican, while the great
city is going the other way. The larg-
est town in Vermont has about $4,000
people. In Massachusetts the same
tendency is shown. Some years ago
William E. Russell was elected gov
ernor of that state on the Democratic,
ticket. He carried the state three
times. In one Of his campaigns the
city of Boston gave him about $4,000
majority. The Democratic candidate
for governor last wear Carried Boston
by almost 10000. yet he was beaten
by more than 10000. The growth of
the cities in the state Of Rhode Island
and the comparative small rural ter
ritory in the state have combined to
make that state more Democratic
than formerly. Those who count up
on Vermont as an index to what the
Industrial centers will do at the COM
pointed. Tor the reason stated above.
we are inclined to believe that the Re-
publican party is stronger in the state
of Indiana than it was prior to 1892
and that the Democratic party is
stronger in New York. 1t no longer
follows that Indiana and New York
will vote the same way in an election
as was the case prior to 1892. 1t
would not be strange to learn on the
day. following election that Parker
had carried the state of New York by
a large majority, while Indiana had
gone for Roosevelt The Democratic
party has not maintained it's ground
in agricultural districts except in the
South, where there is no Republican
party, but it has been gaining in the
great cities.

last report of the Eastern Penitentiary

criminal statistics may be accepted as

product from the public school. It diff
fers in the degree Of a molehill to q

Dr.. KohIer for CONGRESS.

DR.. G. H. Kohler is without doubt
going to be the popular candidate for
the Democratic congressional nominal
ton in this district, comprising Min
neapolis and Hennepin county. He is
attending the various meetings and
making speeches that count with the
people. He is able and honest and
his addresses have the right ring,
showing that he is just the man to fill
John Lind's place. He was born in
Hennepin county IS years ago and has
been a resident here ever since. At
the urgent solicitation of a great many
Democrats he consented to run. His
offices are at 612 Pillsbury building.

Filipinos are Catholics. 1t is to the
Filipinos that Judge Parker would
entrust the destiny Of the islands.
Catholic priests have been there for
centuries. We have never known of
a case where Catholic priests were
afraid of their own people. There are
many cases in history where Catholic
priests and people have suffered at
the hands of rulers. 1t is admitted
on all sides that the Filipinos almost
to a man desire independence, that
means that the Catholic population
wants independence. Now, if the
Catholic priests of the islands would
be in danger if the Catholic people of
that country were in control of their
own affairs, then we are frank to ad-
NIT that there must either be some
thing radically wrong with the priests
or with the Catholicity of the people,
and if either of these conditions exist,
it would be very good thing to shake
matters up.
The over-zealous converts to Re-
publicanism are very likely to work
injury to the object Of their love by
inviting, by their continual and I'M
warranted assumption of Catholic sup
port, the opposition of nti-Catholic
zealots throughout the country. For
our part, we know of no reason why
there should be this continual harping
about the Catholic vote. The assump-
tons are unwarranted and false. The
spirit in which they are made is I'M
American, and the very fact that they
are made attributes a narrowness to
Catholics which does not exist. If
this policy is continued it will surely
be resented. The Catholic vote Of the
country will be cast as it has always
been cast in accordance with the po-
litical views Of the individual voter.

should understand that intelligence is
the force which is working out the
salvation of labor. Intelligent labor
will never blame civilization or law
for existing wrongs, because existant
civilization and law are the results of
labor. Intelligent labor will not de-
nounce religion and order which are
necessary for the preservation Of
labor. Intelligent labor will not bark
en- to the schemes Of Utopian dream
ers, who, by appeal to class preju-
dices, propose to make the man who
works with brain and hand and the
thoughtless idler equal participators
in the worlds progress.
Intelligence has dignified labor and
labor has dignified mankind. Intelli-
gent labor has great work to do.
There are still thousands of men,
women and children who work four
teen and sixteen hours per day in the
crowded centers Of our population,
who receive barely enough to live up
on. These people through lack of in
telligence are unable to aid them
selves. They must become intelligent
laborers. They must be aided by
those who have already risen. Or
gained labor which helps all labor to
become intelligent and independent is
doing a great work. 1t is righting
the wrongs which exist, it is solving
difficulties Of to-day just as labor solv-
ed the difficulties of the past. The
first Monday in September-the day
devoted to labor-is a happy recogni-
ton Of the dignity of intelligent labor.

Regarding Father O'Brien's speech

schools, before the federation dele
gates, the 'roledo CO., Bee" remarks:
1--WE think a large part of the Amer
lean people agree with the Catholic
church in being dissatisfied with the
public schools. Not for the reason,
perhaps, that is mentioned by Father
O'Brien, but on the ground that the
results obtained are not commensurate
with the time and expense put upon
them by the children and the state
or with the opportunity offered. We
wish that lack of religious training
were the only thing wrong with the
system Of public education. This, if
demonstrated, could easily be correct
ed. That it is not is shown conclu-
sively by the failure Of the parochial
school product to differentiate no.

The "Bee" is not altogether well in
formed on this particular point, says

of the various penitentiaries it would
see that the classification Of prison
ers exhibits the sort Of Institution
where each had early training. The
reports of the prisons Of our own
