Wouldn't Marry Catholics.

A love-sick pair presented them
selves before judge in Owensboro,
Ky, the other night only to find that
even the marriage license did not over
awe Kentucky justice. His Honor
knew the family of the bride-elect.
He asked him if he was a Catholic,
to which he replied that he was not,
that he had been raised in the Catholic
faith, but hardly considered himself to-
be such now.
"How about the lady?" asked the
Justice.
''Well, she is a Catholic" replied the
petitioner.
II am Catholic, too,'' said the
justice, "and I have the authority to
perform marriages. When Prostestants
come here and want me to marry
them do so without question, be-
cause they hold marriage to be only
a civil contract. Catholics regard it
as sacrament. I will not perform
a marriage ceremony for Catholics
when know it."

The fight which is now going on in
New York city against the Gas Trust
ought to be an object lesson to all
similar corporations in other cities.
Even strong opponents of municipal
ownership, such as the Brooklyn
Eagle, are compelled to take sides
against the Gas trust. Fair and decent
treatment Of the city by the trust
would have prevented the agitation
which sooner or later is sure to deprive
the trust of its immensely profitable
field. 1t is the rapacity of these public
service corporations which is creating
a municipal ownership sentiment in
every large city in the United States.
The people who are unable to secure
fair treatment from these trusts will
readily take up an agitation which
has for it's aim the ownership of cas-.
the electric lighting plants, telephones
and street car systems by the cities.

WHY NOT LET IRELAND COZ

The New York Sun, in recent issue
says, why not let Ireland go?' Th,
question is indeed Il pertinent one. l,
has become apparent to all the people
of the world except a portion of thu
English people that England is not able
to rule Ireland in justice and peace.
Or, perhaps it might better be said that
Ireland is impossible of absorption.
The Irish people are nation, and
have always been so, as alien to til,
English people as to the Teutons on
the continent of Europe. Why then
should England not let Ireland go:
AS it is the administration of Ireland
is an expense to the English govern
mcnt. Irish acres and Irish population
do not add in the least to the wealth
of the British empire. Irish patriot
ism for the British empire certainly
does not enhance the strength of that
empire. If there is any good reason
why, from an English standpoint, Ire
land should not be free, it is not ap-
parent to ordinary people. \ century
is certainly long time in which to
try the patience and temper of Il
people. For more than IL hundred
years England, by force by threats.
by cajoling and by soliciting, has at
tempted to gain the allegiance of the
Irish nation. All attempts have been
failures. Has England anything new
to suggest? The Sun, speaking on this
subject, says, '"rhe best thing that
England could do would be to set Ire
land free. There is nothing else that
| would so much conduce to English
happiness, prosperity and security.
Give Ireland, not Home Rule, but
complete separation and liberty. Lei
her be race apart with no string to
her freedom. Impose no restrictions
but the sea between, and let her go
free as air, like bird from it's prison. y
'"There is no way and there never
will be any way of turning Irishmen
into Welshmen or Scotchmen. They
are impossible Of absorption. To g.
ern them is vain. They might be all
shot or they might be all drowned
but they never can be domesticated
while Ireland remains an island.
Since England became civilized
about a century ago all her attempts
at governing instead of numbering Ire
land have been the derision of at.
tentive nations. Her injustice has
been hard to bear but her Cancellation
has been more intolerable yet. The
more she placates. the more she bears
: gifts with both hands, the more
exasperating and utterly without hope
, the situation becomes.
