law. The court having reached the
conclusion that the evidence did not
justify the finding that the defendant
had been guilty of the negligence
charged, announced the self-evident
proposition, that without negligence
there was no liability and that an
automobile has just as good right
upon the street as horse and buggy
Notwithstanding the fact that the
horse was here first. This is the rule
which has repeatedly been applied
where horses have been frightened by
steam or street cars, and was applied
by our Supreme Court in the IS Min.
nesota Report, on page 555, where a
bicycle on the highway caused horse
to shy and tip over buggy.
Concerning the bicycle and its use
the court said:
The riding of one upon the public
highway in the ordinary manner as

prohibited and they cannot be ban.
ished because they were not ancient
vehicles used in the Garden of Eden
by Adam and Eve. Because the plain.
tiff chooses to drive a horse hitched
to carriage does not give him the
right to dictate to others their mode
of conveyance upon the public high
way where the rights of each are
equal"
The Irish Standard does not take
issue with the District Court as to the
correctness Of this rule or it's appli-
cation to any case where negligence
is not proven. An automobile is not
an outlaw, and merely because some
who operate them are reckless or
careless is no reason why one exercis-
ing due care should be liable merely
because one driving horse unused to
automobiles is frightened by it. In
any event this appears to be the law
as announced by the highest court of
this state, and even if wrong in prin-
ciple must, until changed, be followed
by our District Courts. The Irish
Standard entertains the highest re-
gard for the judge who wrote the de-
cision which we editorially alluded to
in our last issue, and regards the
above as fair Interpretation of what
the court really decided in the case
referred to.
The article thus referred to and
bearing upon this subject, we are sat-
ised, expressed the convictions of the
great majority of the people of Mime
apolis in so far as it applies to the
usual operation of automobiles upon
the streets of the city. The defect in
it consisted in basing the criticism
upon the particular decision in ques-
tion. This statement is now made be-
cause the matter was brought to our
attention in manner which led us to
believe that the editorial might be
understood by some in an entirely
different way from what was really in
tended.

MAupE eohNE,s CASE.

] Inc case OF Maude GOnne-MacBride
! who has gotten into the divorce courts,
illustrates well the danger of a people
| making heroes on too short notice. 1t
Is not long since Maude Come was
heralded over the world for her sen.
sational portrayals of Irish wrongs.
She was almost worshiped by por-
tion of the Irish people. She may be
entitled to considerable credit, but it
needs no argument to prove that had
she gone into the divorce court before
making her campaign in behalf of the
Irish cause that she would have at.
tracted far less attention than she
did. The Irish people are not in the
habit of paying tribute to those who
frequent divorce courts. Even the
great Charles S. Parnell who had
given a whole lifetime of extraordi-
nary service to the Irish cause was
destroyed by the divorce court. Maude
Come has proven that it is unsafe to
make heroines out of those not tried
in the crucible of time. Particularly
is it dangerous to trust to the judg,
ment and actions of young and beau
tiful woman. The Catholic Sun rightly
characterizes as wrong the habit of
referring to her as the Irish Joan of
Arc. The Suns comment is as fol-
lows:
over in Paris Maud Come Mac
Bride is suing her husband for d.
vorce. In chronicling the case the
cable perpetually refers to her as
The Irish Joan of Arc
"Emphatically and distinctly it is
time to abandon that foolish appella-
tion. Mrs. MacBride may be a good
woman, or, as Maitre Labori claims,
she may not be, but one thing is cer-
tain: 1t was ridiculous ever to fasten
that title upon her and surely a mis-
take to continue it now. And for these
reasons:
Joan of Arc was an earnest, prac-
T..
Joan of Arc led the arms OF her
country and gained phenomenal vic
tories. Maud Come has never done so.
Joan of Arc never took her woes
into divorce court. Maud Come
has done so
Joan of Arc was heroine as we'll
as an uncanonized saint. We want
some sensible citizen to show us one
heroic action Maud Come has ever
done.
1T is folly, sheer nonsense in fact,
to be advertising this divorce court
lady as a person heroic and reverent
as one whom the Catholic church is
about to declare a saint. The great
Celtic race is not so badly in need of
heroines that it must accept Maud

Give her her due. Say she was a
patriot-say she talked much and
glOriOusly about nations wrongs
say she was and is beautiful-say sne
was witty or wise or stout or short or
tall-but in the name of reason spare
us another further infliction of the

more to be regretted, IN that the de

HOPE FOR oRANGEMEN.

AT last there begins to be hope that
Orangemen are to be lrishmen. The
recent attitude of a portion of the
Orange organization in Ireland gives
hope that those who have so long
been actuated by hatred of Irish Cath
The position Of the Orangemen In Ire
land has been anomalous. They have
been actuated by such extreme hatred
that it was impossible for them to be
true to their country. Indeed Orange
men have been regarded as English
rather than Irish. The Orangemen
have supported English rule in Ire
land because that rule was op-
pressive to the Catholics of Ire
land. The hatred typical of Orange
ism has no equal in any other part of
the world. Michael Davitt has well
described it in the following words:
"Orangeism is one of the typical
products of English rule over the
Irish. 1t is the embodiment of race
and sectarian hatred, and stands for
the anti-Celtic and anti-Catholic feel
ing which prompted the Act Of Settle
ment, and carried out the ferocious
DEGREES and spirit of the penal laws.
There is nothing parallel to the char
acter and aims of this combination
known in the annals of modern SO.
ciety outside of Ulster. Its real re-
ligion is hate-a wild, untamable
sentiment of ignorant sectarian malig-
nancy-unteachable and unchange-
able-and in It's origin, record and
raison d'etre (cause of existence) 1t
can be truly said to be the living and
acting expression, in our time, of the
anti-Irish nature of England's past
government of Ireland"
On the recent anniversary of the
Battle of the Boyne members of the
Independent Orange Society showed
that days of intense hatred are, at
least as to some of the Orangemen,
so far passed, that they can hereafter
be Irishmen In fact as we'll as in
name. In an address presented at
that time the following words were
used "On the anniversary of the
! Battle of the Boyne it seems to us a
fitting opportunity to address our
countrymen, both Protestant and
Roman Catholic on the condition of Ire
land and the duty of all who seek her
welfare. misunderstanding and mis-
takes on both sides and the sinister
designs of the enemies of Ireland have
bred internecine strife and civil war
in our midst and separated brother

the united efforts of all her sons. This
gives hope that in the near future

have won the first step in the peace

goes, appears without any creden-

plantations. The big Russian (Witte)

Yes, indeed, when it comes to

Orient But this is no new discovery
From the beginning of history the
East has been noted for deception. To
speak of anyone as Oriental in charac-
ter suggests at once polished deceit.
Do we want to go to school to these
kind of people? Talleyrand was the
best representative that Europe ever
produced of the Oriental stamp of a
diplomat. History has pretty we'll

how Americans can become enthusias-
tic over the deceptive tricks of these
Orientals. For our part we prefer the
Straightforward diplomacy of the Pres
ident of the United States. Compare
President Roosevelt's straightforward
and informal method of introducing
the peace ENJOYS of Russia and Japan
on the Mayfower last week, to what is
reported to be the first sidestep of
the little Japs. President Roosevelt
after suggesting toast to the health
of both Sovereigns said: at is my
earnest hope and prayer in the inter-
est of not only those two great powers
but Of all mankind that just and
lasting peace may speedily be con-
cluded between them" Thus he re-.
lieved the embarrassment of the first
meeting of the representatives of the
two nations and in an offhand and
Straightforward way presented the
opportunity of an honest attempt to
arrive at just peace. The accom-
plished diplomats of Europe may be
startled at the shrewdness of the
Japanese and may be equally startled
at what the London Saturday Review
termed "the American shirtsleeves

diplomacy has the stamp of honesty
and the other of dishonesty we think
there ought to be no hesitancy in
choosing between the two. Komura
appears with fluent and copious ex-
plantations intended to conceal his
thoughts instead of expressing them.
This was the Talleyrand idea of di.
plomacy. With that shrewd rascal
language was intended not to express
thought but to conceal it.
We are not surprised that the Japan
ese should thus begin their negotia-
tions toward peace for the methods
employed are truly Oriental, but we
are surprised that the American press
should express enthusiasm over plain,
downright lying that is as old as the
philosophy of the East.

ARCHBISHOP cHAPPELLE.

AFCuUlSuOp Oudppelle OIL new Or-
leans, is dead, a victim of yellow
fever. His duties as chief pastor of
his people called him to the midst of
danger and he did not shrink from
that duty. The scourge is most viru-
lent in the Italian quarter of the city.
These poor and lowly belonged to
Archbishop Chappelle's flock. In him
they had implicit confidence. His word
was sufficient to command their re-
spect and obedience. He was the one
man who was of an inestimable aid to
the health authorities of the stricken
city in enforcing quarantine regula-
tions. He could be of assistance only
by appearing in the scourge ridden
district. His presence there made
him subject almost Immediately to the
disease. His illness meant almost cer-
tain death from the first, for it seems
the disease is particularly fatal to
persons of large physique.
Archbishop Chappelle was one of
the most distinguished prelates in the
church in this country. For many
years he was pastor of Washington
church where he became intimate
with men prominent in national af-
fairs, among them the late President
Mckinley. He was greatly admired
by all. He was appointed bishop of
Sante Fe, New Mexico, in 1891. Three
years later he became archbishop of
that diocese and afterwards in 1897
became archbishop of New Orleans,
the largest diocese in the south. At
the time of the Spanish-American
war he was appointed Apostolic Dele
gate to Cuba and to the Philippine
Islands and took a prominent part in
the settlement of the church affairs of
those countries, consequent upon the
change of sovereignty. His name has
frequently been mentioned in connec-
tion with the appointment of an addi-
tional cardinal for the United States.
He was Frenchman by birth and
enjoyed the personal friendship of
Felix Faure, once president of the
French republic. His tragic death is
an evidence, if evidence is necessary,
that the days of true heroism are not
past. Archbishop Chappelle was the
victim of duty. Without ostentation
and with no hope of reward he faced
almost certain death that he might be
of assistance to others. Truly this is
greater bravery and purer heroism
than that required of the soldier who
fights the battles of his country.
The example given by Archbishop
Chappelle is not, however, at all ex-
traordinary. Others of his church
and calling do not fail to heed the call
when the sick and dying need their
ministrations and advice. Even those
who do not believe in the Catholic
church or its mission must admit
that its priests are ever the first
where danger threatens. Their vows
call for this sacrifice. Their lives are
dedicated from the day of their ordi-
nation to their people. They are not
allowed to have any family ties or
any earthly connections that would
hinder or prevent such full and com.
