HONEST JOHN BURKE.

The Irish Standard is in receipt of
a letter from an esteemed subscriber
in Bismarck, n. D., which is here re-
produced:
Bismarck, N. d., Dec. 9th, 1906.
Editor Irish Standard, Minneapolis,
MINI.
Dear Sir:-As q. subscriber 1 no.
tice you comment on the election of
the different Irish Catholic governors
and mayors Of several states and
cities. 1t seems you have omitted to
mention the election of Gov. Burke
of your sister state, North Dakota,
who lis a prominent Irish-Anerican
Catholic and a distinguished lawyer,
who turned the tide OF a Republican
majority for Roosevelt of $4,000 to Il
Democratic victory of 5000, which,
think, is deserving OF recognition
from our Catholic papers.
Yours respectfully,
j c. Ritclley.
IelIlhpS ouI correspondent is flRuL.
1t is more than probable that the
newly elected governor Of North d.
kota has not received that recog-
milton that he is justly deserving Of,
but with the help of the writer Of the
letter here published, whom we ex-
pcct to be able to draw on for in
formation from this time on and from
others Of our North Dakota friends as
well, there isn't any reason why Gov.
ernor Burke cannot squarely be
brought before The Irish Standard
readers in the future. The victory
won in North Dakota is certainly on
a par with that achieved in Minne-
sofa. From our limited knowledge Of
the man we are perfectly satisfied
that the voters of our sister state
have acted wisely and we'll In the Sc
lection of Mr.. Burke, and in common
with our correspondent and every
other we'll wisher Of the Governor soon
to be, we shall heartily look for the
success Of his administration. Hig-
gins Of the east and Burke OF the west.

HIS uNALTERAeLE DEVOTION.

The magnificent address recently
delivered in Ireland at the Cork city
hall, by William O'Brien, in apprecia-
ton OF the work done by the priests
and teachers Of the Church, shows
how we'll he has retained his Catho-
licity and how faithful he is to his
country in the face OF censure and Of
differences with many Of his county,
men during the past few years. Favor
ing the proposed University Of Mum
ster Mr.. O'Brien had this to say:
We are not going to stand being
condemned forever to @ system #
education that seems diabolically con-
trived for the purpose Of making edu-
cation rather a curse than a blessing
to the youth of Ireland-a system that
tenlpts them far enough to spoil their
aptitude for the noble pursuits Of
manual labor, and then leaves them
stranded. without any sufficient ca
pability for winning distinction in the
higher walks of scientific and profess
sional success. We Catholic laymen
must all have felt with a pang what
it was to be only half educated, per-
haps only quarter educated. 1t is,
l think, miracle of Irish genius that
Ireland has done half so we'll, under
SO many cruel and barbarous disa-
bilities. When you think of how Irish
boys from the Christian Brothers
Schools and the National Schools have
been able to hold their own in the
local government of the country and
on the benches of the English House
Of Commons, when pitted against
those who had ages of high culture
and refinement and privilege in their
blood, it is not presumptuous to think
what different position the Irish race
would occupy in the world today, If,
for the last two OF three generations,
they had not been cut off from the
upper regions of learning almost as
absolutely az e there were stu .

WAR ON RELIGION IN FRANCE.

give much kindly advice to the Holy
Father, Az IT, he were ill-advised or
incapable Of grasptng q situation,
which they in their superior judg-
nlent, or more fortunate surroundings.
have fully mastered. 1t is needless
to say that III spite OF their courteous
treatment OF the subject and their re-
spectful references to the head OF the
Catholic Church, their sympathies are
n,anifestly with the present rulers OF
the French Republic. Their editorials
rest on false assumptions throughout.
A glance at the situation as presented
by the official utteranoes of both sides
to the question may make the situa-
ton clear.
With regard To- the question itself
it is broader than Franco. Tho new
law is to go into effect not only in
France, but in Algiers and all other
French colonies. 1t is broader than
the whole French domain. For what
is wrung from the Holy Father today
for the destruction Of the Church in
France will, il once granted, and be-
cause granted, be wrung from the
Holy Father tomorrow for the de-
struction OF the Church elsewhere.
This is the reason why, even if the
whole French nation were gradually,
OH account OF his decision, to be lost
to the Catholic Church, the Holy
Father decided that he had to let it
go. England was lost to the Church,
Germany was lost to the Church, the

grounds. They are returning in whole
or in part, and they are finding, as
they ought to find, the Catholic Church

they left her. The Catholic Church

France now desires to make the Cath
olic Church a state church.
That such is the intent OF the law
of separation is evident from the very
wording OF the law before us. The
same law is to be applied to the re-
ligious associations of Professionals and
Jews as vol as of Catholics. AS the
King Of England is the head Of the
Anglican Church, as the Kaiser is the
head of the Lutheran Church, as the
Car is the head of the Russian Church
so the French President, infidcl though
he be. might conceivably be the head Of
the French Protestant Church. Prot

Archbishop Ryan of Philadelphia
announces that he has been misquol-
ed in his speech made at the banquet
held in connection with the recent
Catholic ceremony in Pittsburg. He
did not state that union Of the
Church and State. as it is popularity
understood, would become necessary in
this country, but that the action of the
Catholic clergy in restraining human
passion, harlnoninzing diverse nation
alities and preventing anarchy and
socialism would be necessary for the
preservation of our institutions in tho
future. He expressed himself as well
satisfied with the present relations of
the Church and State in this country.

ANENT ORGANIZED LABOR.

At a largely attended meeting OF
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers, recently held in Baltimore, Rev.
M. ]. Riordan, a Catholic priest, gave
public expression to his confidence IN
organizations Of workingmen. During
the course of his interesting address
he said:
II believe in the principles of labor
unions. Their primary aim is to
secure good wages, and good wages
means prosperity for merchant and
banker and larger offerings to- the
church and charity. Labor unions
are a country's best anti-poverty so
ciety. since good wages and prosper
ity are synonymous. The workman
who refuses to join a union helps to
retard the betterment of all wage
earners. and superintendent who re-
fuse to deal with union men do not
promote the best interests Of stock
holders. The best paying concerns
in the world employ union labor and
make periodical contracts with the
unions representatives. The theory
that trades unions by establishing a
uniform rate Of wages discourage the
better men and produce dull medi.
ocrity is, as one Of the professors Of
political economy at Johns Hopkins
University has said. only theory,
and has never received statistical
demonstration Even If it were a
fact it would yet be better that 100
men should receive IS day thai,
that 10 men should get $40 a day and
the other. 30 men only 81 a day. 1t
Is better to strengthen 80 weak men
than to increase the strength of 10
strong men. 1t has been said that
labor unions are trusts. Rightly ad-
ministered. there Is nothing objec.
tiona,ble in a trust, whether OF labor
or business. If men shaped their
conduct in industrial and public life
in accordance with the teachings of
Christ, or even with the ethical prin-
ciples generally. lived up to in private
life. there would be less ob3ectisn to
