road rate legislation and the rebate
question; and they have learned that
the people are thinking Roosevelt's
way. Roosevelt has not been idle since
congress adjourned. When he learned
the attitude Of the senate he took a
train and went West and talked 10
the people about the matter. Late: on
he took another train and went South
and talked to the Democrats OF the
South until he made friends Of than
all. The senate will scarcely dare to
reject a satisfactory rate bill.
The president in his message has
also taken strong ground in the matter
of campaign contributions, prohibiting
corporations from contributing 10 CAM
paign committees. These are the two
strong features Of the message. His
attitude upon the Panama Canal, the
Philippine Tariff and the San Domingo
Treaty are we'll known, and his ines
sage upon these questions is simply a
reiteration Of what he has said before.
One can not help but come to the
conclusion from reading the message
that the president deserves the repu-
tation which he has gained as that
of a man who does things, and who
means to do what he says he will do.

The Minneapolis Club, the chief
business mems club of Minneapolis,
has just set an example of law OBJ
servance that should be followed by
similar organizations. says The Com
moner. Recently Mayor Jones decid-
ed to "shut down the lid" as the saying
goes. and as result Minneapolis has
been dry" for several Sundays in sue
cession. AS an Incorporated club
the Minneapolis club could keep its
buffet open on Sunday, but at meet
ing of the directors it was decided to
set an example, and as result the
Minneapolis club Is as dry" on Sun
day as the rest of the city. The clubs
action takes from the opponents Of
Sunday observance one of their chief
arguments. 1.-THE saloon is the poor
mans club" they exclaim. You close
the poor mans club on Sunday, but
you let the rich mans club remain
wide OPEN" But in Minneapolis the
rich mans club" is also closed. The
action of the managers Of the Mime
apolis club is worthy of commentator.

To Our Subscribers.

AS the Christmas time approaches,
when the hearts of all are filled with
kindness and generosity toward their
fellowman, we herewith express the
hope that all those who are in arrears
for their subscription to The Irish
Standard will send in their amount to
the office and thus gladden. the hearts
of the publishers. We feel that an
earnest effort on our part has been
made during the past year to give our
patrons a paper worthy of their sup
port and good will and there is no
more pleasing way to show an appre-
citation Of the value of our work than
to pay the publishers their due. All
remittances received will be acknowl-
edged with thanks. Our city subscrib-
ers will oblige US by calling at the Of
fee, 81 Fourth street south.

neglect Of religion. 1t is only case
Of sowing wild oats. The boys will
get sense when they get older. But
they do not get older. The pace they
start out in kills them early.
We would tell our rich Catholics to
see to it, as their equals in Europe do,
that their boys do not lay away their
religious practices, when they lay away
their books. See that they grow up
in close touch with their priests. The
priest is the only reliable and safe
guardian of the child of opulence. All
those of that class that have been
saved owe their salvation to the friend
ly and fatherly interest Of priest. He
had influence over them in their
youth; he can influence them in their
after-scholastic years. He has the mind
that masters and compels obedience;
and it is only mind that makes men.
What the world needs more than any
thing else today is the priest in the
home and the priest in society.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The presidents message has been de-
livered to congress. Messages Of the
presidents are as usual thing docu-
ments to be printed and not to be read.
1t Is probably true that more peor!e
will read the message of President
Roosevelt than read the message OF
any of his predecessors. He ia an
interesting personality and possesses
an interesting way Of stating things
He also has more to say and says it
in fewer words than many others who
have occupied the same position. It
is true that the last message Is long,
even when compared with the mes
sages Of other presidents, but Roose-
welt had many important matters t.:
present. OF course all messages Of all
presidents are good. The same is true
of the last one. If we were asked to
characterize the message in just =
sentence we should say that the Pres
ident has stood his ground" The rail-
road rate question is Of uppermost
Importance. On that proposition he has
not given up to his Republican op-
ponents in any degree. If the power
full Republican senators hoped that
the president could be led into COM
promise on this proposition all hope
must have departed when they heard
his message. He is determined to have
legislation and to have it along the
lines that he has suggested. In
the last session Of the House OF
Representatives passed bill salts
factory to the president. T. was
promptly rejected by the senate. Since
that time the senate has received sew
eral distinct shocks from the country
Wise senators have been at home dur
ing their vacation and those from the
West in particular have learned that

MARK TWAIN.

Last week Mark Twain celebrated
his SEVENTEEN birthday. He we'll ex-
emplifies the old saying that one is
as old as he feels. He has had his
humor has kept him young. The sum
shine Of his nature has sufficed to dis
pei the shadows. He is today much
the most widely-read American writer.
His name is known and his works are
read by people to whom the name Of
Emerson is a mystery. His works
have been printed in many languages
and the reason for his popularity is
not hard to find. His writings have
been read because they display origin
ality. They show that the author
knows human nature and that he
has mingled with the people who
do the worlds work. But there
have been others who knew human
nature and who mingled with the same
class Of people yet who picture life
in a different way from that in which
Mark Twain sees it. Mark Twain is
different from other writer's because
he was born with an unusual amount
Of humor in his makeup. He belongs
not with the writer's of culture but
with the writer's who receive their
gifts from nature. He has lived with
the common people and has received
his impressions at first hand. Other
wise he could not have written Life
on the Mississippi" 1.-The Adventures
of Huckleberry Finn" and the "Adven
lures Of Tom Sawyer" Mark Twain
is not only a great writer but he is
good man. 1t should be remembered
at this time that when disaster over
took him he met his obligations, not
only those he was legally forced TO
meet, but he held himself to strict ac-
count and met those obligations which
he was not legally bound to meet.

A WARM RECEPTION.

Sarah Bernhard, who is now en-
gagged in a campaign OF extracting AM
erican gold ~ exhibitions Of manu-
featured emotions encountered stu
alton in Quebec which no doubt pro-
duced in her the real emotions in
stead Of feigned ones. If the press re-
port Of the affair is correct the "Di-
vine Sarah" was saluted with shower
Of unsavory eggs all because she said
uncomplimentary things about the
French Canadians and their priests.
Now, the French Canadians have not
arrived at that acme of culture like
their blood relations in gay Paris,
where people spend their time and In
genuity in efforts to improve upon the
laws Of nature. Neither have they ar
rived at that state of unbelief where
they deny Christ and his Church and
worship mammon. The French-C Can
adams are law-abiding and God
fearing people. They become at an
early age parents Of large families aud
in many other ways they show that
they live in accordance with natural
law and obey Gods law. The divine
Sarah with all her art does not know
as much as the poor Canadian-French
woman who looks after her husbands
household and rears her children to
respect the laws of man and God. She
probably merited the reception that she
received. We have not yet on the West.
ern Continent arrived at that dread
ital now finds itself. 1t is popular ir
Paris to deny Christ and to revile his
Church. 1t entities one to immediate
popularity IL he or she is able to say
something particularly uncompliment'
airy of the priests and nuns OF the
Catholic Church. Sarah has found ou
that Quebec. although French, is no
Partisan French. Quebec is loyal t
the Church of the French people; loya
to the Church which all the French
people outside Of Paris worship in, al
Sarah undoubtedly found out. O.
course, we can not say that we ar,
in favor Of the rotten egg method o
argument but we do claim that espe
cially persuasive arguments are neces
sary in some cases.

If some Of the Minneapolis papers

played equal energy in exposing life
