WELCOME READY FOR REDMOND.

1t is seldom that an Irshman of such promin-
ence as William Redmond has attained in the af-
fairs of his native country passes through Salt
Lake. Frequently noted eccesiasics of Celtic
blood have tarried with us awhile on their way to
OF from the coast but the visits of laynen able to
play with the emotions and bind with the chords
of oratory have been few and far. The nearest
we came to getting yet not getting person who
could leave his silvery speech trailing in our mem
cries. was during the political campaign of last
fall Bourke Cochran aroused ouE hopes and ex-
pectations, and then disappointed us on the day
set for his speech in this city. bungling Colo
RADIO railroad was responsible for his non-appear-
ance.
The old guard of the Celtic race in Salt Lake
have been too busy making money and locating
mines TO take notice of the many new arrivals
from the east of young men proud to declare that
their fathers and mothers are Irish, and in show
down would not hesitate to add, "and l am Irish,
too 1t is only on rare occasions that Irishmen
and descendants of Irishmen are brought together
in Salt Lake. Mores the pity that they are not
socially united as they in Ogden, in Park City
and the mining camps, When they do get together
in Salt Lake, the people most astonished are the
Irish themselves. Then it is discovered that where
there is with there are fifty without an o. or
Nc in the front of their ancestral name. And
the way these Irish eturned out in '93 and figur-
atiyely smote the a. P A. hip and thigh, sent the
cold chils down the spines of the bigots.
So it would appear that the best thing that
could happen the Irish of this community Gas it
happened in '93) is the introduction of some re-
ligious or national feature that is able to draw
them together. Something that will renew the ac-
quaintances and extend the friendships which their
enemies unwittingly promoted in 1913. Something
that promises to endure and hold out hope to their
kinsmen across the sea. All this may happen with
the presence here of William Redmond No effort
has been made before TO organize branch of the
Irish National league. Not song has been sung
nor dollar spent for home rule in Ireland The
time to begin is now.
At this writing Mr.. Redmond is the guest of
San Francisco and of the Irish of California.
Colonel Joseph Geoghegan of this city Informs this
paper that the distinguished gentleman will arrive
IL this city Tuesday night and will address the
citizens on Wednesday evening at the Salt Lake
theatre An effort will be made to persuade him to
remain in the city for couple of days, and if this
arrangement is made a suitable programme for his
entertainment will be provided Mr.. Redmond is
accompanied by his wife.
J. J. DAILY, w ]. Dooly Charles A. Quiglev and
W. J. Halloran, committee on finance and trans
portation, have arranged for excursions from Park
City Eureka, Ogden and other points, to enable
persons living there to hear Mr.. Redmond's speech

There is mighty difference between the
Frenchman of France and the Frenchman of Can
ada, socially and morally. Race suicide in France
is appalling. On the other hand the fecundity of
French-Canadian mothers is bright sign of hope
for the race. In LaPresse, of Montreal DR.. j. G.
Lussier makes interesting calculation of the fu-
ture growth of the French Canadian race, which
facts and figures he claims cannot be disputed.
The doctor points out that $4,000 French peasants
abandoned by the futile policy of Louis XIV in 1915
the banks of the St. Lawrence have produced in
100 years. between 1885 and 1905, about 100000
of inhabitants, of whom half live in Canada and
the other half is scattered over the states of the
American union. If this rate of increase be main
tanned, there will be 320000,000 French Canadians
in 120 years, and 25.6O0,0OOOO0 in 2145.

Literally it applies with more significance to that

pass. Clerical circles in Pittsburg doubtless have
time to analyze its etymology.
The trouble with the Herald is common one
with non Catholics. 1t does not perceive that the
rule of ethics which should govern the priest is
different from the law laid down for the layman.
Or to put it palmer what might be overlooked

scandalous and sinful i'll the conduct of a priest.
There is no mission or station in life that could
be more exalted than is the priesthood to the soul

MONUMENT TO JACQUES CARTE R.

notwithstanding the low ebb which religious
sentiment has apparently reached in some parts of
France the town Of St. Malo in Brittany, recently
paid signal honor to the memory of sixteenth
century discoverer, who was essentially religious
hero An imposing monument to jacques Cartier
was unveiled with considerable pomp and solemnity
in that seaport which, about the date of Columb,s,
discovery of America, witnessed his birth Cartier
himself was the dscoverer of Canada, his first vow
age being made in 1884. At Gaspe he planted a
cross thirty feet high "and showed it to the az.
tonished savages the mysterious sign tbrougb
which all men must be saved" In his second vow
age, IN 1852 the Breton sailor went up the st.
Lawrence to the Indian village of Stadacona now
Quebec; and thence to Hochelaga now MontraaI
Several additional voyages followed during the nex
six years; and, while Champlain and one or two
others are called founders of different cities 81

BISHOP MU GUBURE PRAISES THE JAPs.

Here is the opinion of Msgr. Mugabure, bishop
of Sagalasso, and coadjutor to the archbishop OF
Toxic Japan:
II believe the Japs will become one Of the great
est nations the earth has known, and this will oe
really the reward of work.
"You would like my opinion on what Is called
the yellow PERIL Well, think state of things
that would justify alarm is very, very far away.
[ have seen so much of the people-al grades-tha5
[ have become pro-Japanese in almost all things.
"'They will certainly continue to flow from their
own country to others in the east, for the simple
reason that their own country is not large enough
keep them. But they go to other places to work,
and they generally improve the districts of their
adoption.
"You would be astonished to find in Toxic and
other cities what large congregations obtained
by the Christian churches. But they come not as
the Hindoos and the Chinese-after the famine,
the typhon and the earthquake-but regularly. The
conversion takes longer, because they think for
themselves, but the conversion is permanent. The
adoption of a new religion has not impaired their
patriotism in the slightest degree, as may be real
lied from the fact that of the best soldiers in
the war are Christians"

OH BALTIMORE CATHEDRAL.

The old Baltimore Cathedral which IS being
completely renovated, in preparation Ior oDseIF-
ance of its centennial this fall will be to all appear
ances new church when the army OF WorAmen en-
gagged upon it have completed their laoors. IL VIII
retain its original form and the shell OF the church
will be the same structure that has been LANDMARKS
in the old Catholic city of Baltimore for Il hundred
wears but the interior will be wholly Transformed
The outer walls are being cleaned, the big central
dome has been gilded and various repairs and rem
oyatioDs have been made III conformity with the
original design of the building.
The new interior. when it is opened to the pubic
in November will, it Is predicted, be one OF the
most artistic and splendid church interiors lr
America The work was begun early in the year
and is now nearing completion
One of the most striking features next to the
mural paintings will be the gold mosaic work NE
the central part of the church. below the great
dome and in the space between the paintings OF tne
evanpelists and arches The only variation OF this
work from that of ST. Peters in Rome IS that IN"
stead of the emblens in the papal office when ara
worked in the design in Rome, the cathedral mere
will have painted in the coat-ot-arms OF the de'
ceased archbishops of Baltimore from Archbishop
Carroll down to and including Cardinal Gibbons.
All this work is done in gold plate, with the coors
put in with OIL and with free-hand work.
TWENTY-FIVE men are engaged IN the decorative
work. alone Each of these is q trained painter
and even the men who do the imitation of marble
ON the pillars are real artists. To obtain an idea OF
the vastness of the work it may be noted that 1t re-
ouired 100000 feet of lumber to construct the great
scaffolding. The scaffolding alone took SIX weeks
to construct.
The first American bishop, Bishop Carroll, laid
the cornerstone for the Baltimore cathedral IN 1903
Its centennial will be celebrated with great pomp.
Cardinal Gibbons will preside and most OF the
American hierarchy will be present.

CATHOLICS AND PUBLIC LIFE IN HOLLAND

1t IS not very many years since the power Of
the Catholics in Holland a small, almost d
negligible quantity. But they have initiated their
German coreligionists in nursing their political
strength and now they very strong force.
The press has just recorded the results of the gem
eral election to the Second Chamber of the states
general. Twenty-three Catholics thirteen ortho-
dox Protestants, eight Liberals of the left three
Liberals of the right eight Historic Christians and
hive Liberal Democrats have been returned The
Catholics have formed working agreement with
the orthodox Protestants, and the united body can
easily overcome all opposition. They are led by
Dr. kuyper, who has made close study of politics
and has proved an excellent leader under circum-
stances often of delicate kind Whilst the minis
try Is conservative in its general principles it's
l4cs IS realty democratic and the legislation which
1t has initiated and carried through has been prolific
OF advantages to the humblest classes of the people,
The inhabitants of Holland are so content with the
arrangement between the Catholics and the ortho-
dox Protestants that their verdict when elections
occur Is equivalent to vote of confidence

WHERE TEMPERANCE LAWS FAIL.

Speaking of the laws favoring temperance, Rev.
n. j. Kelly gave utterance to the following at the
Catholic Total Abstinence convention at Spring
field last week: Temperance legislation is not
producing temperance. 1t merely transfers the
liquor traffic to another section. Such legislation
is not effective in reality it increases the consump
ton of liquor. Moral force accomplishes more
than the most stringent laws. Just witness the
moral effect upon the children in our schools. The
most powerful force is that produced by the Cath
olic church Millions took the pledge of Father
Mathew, and they faithfully keeping it,"
A resolution was adopted favoring the organiza.
ton of societies composed of boys and girls urg-
ing that consistent total abstinence be taught in
the schools

Mention of Bishop Carroll of the diocese of
Helena is observed quite frequently in the daily
and Catholic press His scheme of Catholic colon
ization receives the approval of the thoughtful
among the Catholic laity, and his idea of home
priests for home people has electrified the Catholic
spirit of the whole state. This week an account
is published Of his visit to Townsend and other
places in Broadwater county. Father O'Farrell is
the pastor of the Catholic people in that thriving
place Judging from the tone of the local paper,
Father O'Farrells lot is cast among liberal and
broadminded non-Catholic community; circum-
stance, however, which is not unusual III the grand
state of Montana.

BASEBALL AND PRIESTS.

Under the above head our Eght-hearted and
breezy daily contemporary, the Salt Lake Herald,
charges this paper with commenting too harshly

big hole through its defense of the clerical root-

PRIESTS WIRELESS SYSTEM A SUCCESS

Father Joseph Murgans, Of Wilkesbarre, Pa,
Saturday completed two days official test of his
recently invented wireless telegraphy system, and
it was highly satisfactory. The tests were made
at the stations in that city and at Scranton mes
sages being sent from each place The first was:
Thank God for His Blessings"
The basis of the invention is the use of nusi-
cal note to represent each letter of the alphabet
instead of the dot and dash of the Morse system
and this may be elaborated so that groups Of
words frequently used can be designated by mus
ical note.
1t IS said that Father Murgans received $780,
QUO and royalties for his invention and that he will
give give S9O'oOo to his church and spend the other
100000 in furthcriug his inventions. 0'''''

OUR LITERARY TABLE

Within tire last twenty years there has come into
being in English poetry written by Irish writer's,
distinctly Irish style with something in it of the quail

Foremost among these writers we may place Gather

educated at the Dominican Convent of st. Cath

of fourteen. The rest of her education gained

grass of his magnificent lawn, the financial king

Two morning contemporaries have locked horns
on the water question. Both accuse the other of
being inconsistent. What one suggests the other
condemns Why not cease squabbling and agree
on some permanent basis of an abundant supply
Tor the future, The present water famine gives
property owners very little encouragement to plant
trees and raise lawns to beauify the city and serve
as an attraction to visitors. Less fighting and
more practical suggestions for an abundant supply
in the future are now in order, and viii appeal
more effectually to every person who has the well
fare Of the city at heart than all this wrangling.
That the needs of the future have been neglected
in the past is a shame. To remedy such errors be-
comes of paramount interest to all citizens.

The ear has given orders to allow Jews to vote
under the new constitution and urges that leading
Jews be elected to the Russian national congress
This change it is said, has been brought about by
American Jewish intervention, and the statement
is possibly true. Another thing is also true. In
the event OF continuing the war raising money to
pay indemnity, Russia must go to the Jew for the
money.
