Justice Brewer, of the United State

Justice Brewer, of the United States
supreme court, addressed the pupils of
Vassar College at it's closing exercises,
says the Catholic Columbian. In the
course of his remarks he said: "Who
shall say that before gray hair shall
cover the heads of the women here to-
night, there may not sit in the White
House woman who will shed luster
upon this country as Queen Victoria
shed luster upon England?" In what
way the late Queen Victoria shed lus-
ter upon England is not known to the
world. She lived long time and
reared large family, but what else
she did who can tell? Did not Martha
Washington and Dolly Madison, and
Frances Folsom Cleveland, and Ida
Saxton Mckinley act as worthy spous-
es of admirable presidents? Surely
Mr.. Brewer does not want the Vassar
girls to have day-dreams of woman
president of the United States! That
would be to laugh.

REAL CAUSE OF DELAY.

There seems to be little doubt at
! the present time but what the pro.
posed bill for the separation of church
| and state in France will not reach a
| vote in the Senate until October and
| perhaps not then. Various reasons are
\ given for this, nearly all of which are
evasive and misleading. Men who
have been leaders in the scheme for
such separation give tdt as an excuse
for the delay that new election will
soon be at hand which will give an
expression of the people upon the bill,
| throwing out the statement at the
same time that one-third of the Sen
ate members will be chosen at that
election upon the issue of church and
state separation, all of which is mis-.
leading and without the least founda-
ton of fact. The Morocco affair has
much to do with the delay thus re-
ferred to, more than will be admitted
by those who are in the scheme for
separation of church and state. Here,
in fact, is the real cause. The Moroc-
co incident will not down. France is

many with almost certainty of war
unless the German government is sat-
isfied in its wants and desires.
1t must be admitted that France, at
the present time, is in an odd predica-
ment. However willing or anxious
she may be, the country is not pre-.
pared for war with Germany on &C.
count of the unfit condition of her
army. The best and most faithful
friends in the armies of France have
always come from the Catholic people
who, in late years, have been refused
promotion through a system of false
hood and Misrepresentation. Loyal and
true to the interests of their country,
whether as officers or as privates in
the ranks, it is hardly to be expected
that they would be on the best of
terms with that other element in the
French service of today controlled as
1t is by secret societies.
The internal relations of France are
of grevious nature for which the
present government is entirely to
blame. II it is to submit to still
greater humiliation from Germany
dissolution may be looked for in the
no distant future and a return to old
conditions the outcome.

need for him to do this, though it was
appropriate enough in the Orange
stronghold of Belfast. In proclaiming
the Irish National doctrine of equal
rights for men of all creeds the bril-.

IF we Catholics have been perse,

in Ireland. No; what we desire is fair
and equal treatment for every man
and woman in Ireland, no matter what
their religion may be. Let the best
come to the top. That is all we ask
For we have sufficient confidence in
the qualities of our ancient race to be-
lieve that if there is fair play we will
get our share, and that is all we want.
And, therefore, say, one of the great
missions to my mind before Irish Ma.
tionalism, and especially before Cath.
olic Irish Nationalism, is to set up be-
fore the world pattern and example
of broad-minded federation for every

These are noble words. Under home
rule every Irish interest will have full
protection and security and no man
will have cause to complain of unfair
or unjust treatment because of re.
ligious or of other differences with his
fellowman.

age and their decline. You are now
in the heroic age. 1t is easy to start
almost anything. 1t is hard to keep up
the first enthusiasm. It is hard to
keep up the ideals. My message to
you is to try to preserve the ideals
you have established in the last twen-
ty years. Your ideals are high. Let
your actions correspond. A great mis-.
sion is before you. You have realized
it and begun it. Do not hesitate. Do
not tire. Do not fail. l charge you
be true to yourselves, your order, your
church and your country"

carrying the flag in peace than the
gallant soldier who bore it in the teeth
of bullets in the day of battle.

Gave the Money to His Father.

Years ago an Irishman came from
the old sod to live with his sister in
this country. One day she sent him
to the store to make some purchases.
When he got there he saw monkey
sitting behind the counter. 1t was the
first monkey that Pat had ever seen,
SO he asked the storekeeper what it
was. The storekeeper said: "WelI
Pat, when people get old in this coun-
try they look like that" So when the
storekeeper gave him his parcels he
gave the money to the monkey. When
he was goin out the storekeeper said:
Pat, do you want me to charge it?"
"No,' said Pat, II gave the money to
your father"

The Rome Messaggero of Wednes-
day says that if the Pope decides to
leave the vatican during the hot
weather he is most likely to go to the
famous Benedictine abbey of Monte
Casino, province of Caserta, Italy,
and thus will be the guest of the Rev.
Father Boniface Krug, formerly of St.
Vincent's ARCHAEOLOGY, Beatty, Penn,
who is abbot of Monte Casino.
When he was patriarch of Venice,
the Pope promised to visit Monte
Casino the first time he came to
Rome, and he intended to go there
after the conclave, but as he was
elected Pope he could not carry out
his plan. However, twice since then
the pontiff, it is said, has renewed his
promise to visit Monte Casino.

DEFENSE OF THE FOREIGNER

III 6NSe VT UTE TOn6l0N6n.
One of the crying evils of the times
in this country is the political cor.
ruption SO prevalent, in particular
manner, in the large cities. The ever
growing foreign population is blamed,
in large measure, for this condition of
things, though the assertion will hard
ly be considered just one by those
who make it a business and a study
to get at the question from fair and
impartial standpoint. There is no
denying the fact that some of our
citizens of foreign birth often show
themselves Indifferent to the political
conditions that surround them and in
this way contribute indirectly to keep
ing in power men who prey upon the
community, but they are usually not
the ones who profit by civic wrong
doing. 1t is the native product, those
who are supposed to represent the
ideal American citizenship, who are
the most certain to be found wanting
in this respect. And this will apply
to Minneapolis as we'll as to every
other city of it's size and prominence
in the Union today.
Only short time ago an Episcopal
bishop in Connecticut, in the course of
an address on the subject of citizen.
ship, said:
IF it be true that in this historic
state prevails practices which tend to
degrade and debauch our political life
it will not avail to excuse ourselves
on the score of the influx on foreign
born population. Our fellow citizens
of foreign birth often shame us by
their devotion to American ideals and
by their spirit of sacrifice. The real
danger lies in our degenerate men OF
American birth. 1t is they who, to
use the words of one of them, want
to know what there is in it for me-"
On this same subject the Omaha
True Voice very truly says:
Our cities in which the foreign
born population predominates are not
always the most corrupt. 1t is the
city Of Philadelphia, the Quaker strong
hold, that is just now enjoying an
unenviable reputation for municipal
corruption. Nothing worse than con-
ditions in that city has come before
the public notice in many years. This
again illustrates the truth that good
citizenship does not depend so much
upon the place of birth of the citizen
as upon his ideals and upon the train
ing he has received. 1t is idle to
think that people who are lax in the
discharge of their obligations towards
their fellow men and towards God will
be faithful in their duties towards
their country. For them patriotism
means self1shness and opportunity for
private gain, and while they may
pirate of its nobility their actions show
too we'll how hollow are their preten.
sions. The honest man makes a good
citizen whether he is native to the
soil or not. Corrupt citizenship is
largely native product"
