Ireland as a country and not as a de-
tendency of Great Britain will be rep
resented by some of the most promi-
nent Gaelic athletes at the great re-
vfval of the Olympian games that will
be held in Athens under the patronage
of King George of Greece from April
16 to 26. says the Memphis Catholic
Journal. Europe does not know Ireland
as a separate nation; the colors and
the language Of England have caused
the credit for the proudest achieve
ments of Irish Drawn and brain to be
lost to the country primarily respons-
ible. The Irish athletes who are ex-
pected to compete at Athens will not
Identify themselves with the Saxon.
and 1t is certain that their display will
be an honor to the Gaelic Association
and to Ireland. Many prominent Irish
men are anxious that the American
athletes, John Flanagan and Martin,
Sheridan, shall compete for Ireland at
Athens.

THE POWER OF SILENCE.
II Is Divine and Wonderful, Writes
Rev. J. n. Cotter.

No words equal the profound sense
in the Catholic Columbian. Nature
herself has mysteries, because she is
tongueless; she works wonders and re-
mains mute We fear the silent man;
the silent woman is puzzle. This
said, how oppressive is the silent
majesty of God!
|divine-silence of the Creator before
creation, silence Of Christ before Pilot,
silence of the Sacrament in presence
of the people. The first bespeaks I'M
qualifiedly glory, the second indignant
majesty, the third constancy in love
most condescending. The profound ST.
lence of the Sacrament is overwhelm-
ing; it subdues our tongues to quiet
ness, our hearts to peace, our minds
to reflection. And why is 1.-THE Pres
ence" silent? Because He, God, the
author Of language as he Is the crea-
tor Of man, could not with all His
supreme knowledge of the sovereign
power Of words, express Himself bet
ter than with silence.
| So Is it, when we are silent, dumb
in alteration which finds no word in
tense enough for expression, that we
best feel and know the wealth of re-
naming in silence. Silence alone I'M
derstands the sacramento silence. AS
the silent night best pronounces
the wonders Of Gods creative
hand and reveals the Creator in His
works more than the day, when a
babel of voices are riotous in human
endeavor, SO the wordless Sacrament
best tells of Gods enduring love.
How wonderful, then, is silence! ST.
lence is kind while words are
often scandalous. Silence marks no
blunders, while speech errs. Silence
mystifies; speech never. Silence is
prudent, when words betimes are rash.
Silence is ever a steady force, when
words trip their own poor purposes.
Silence is another name for wisdom.
In art it is the disposition of silence
that makes oratory forceful; it is the
pause that gives music it's enchant-
iment.
Oh, glorious silence that "was in the
beginning with God!" Oh, wise 81
Hence, more expressive in Christ than
even the mighty words of TJio Socnol,
Oh, silence, most powerful in shaping
the destinies of men, for he, indeed
is master Of his fellows, as he has
gained mastery of self, who has learned
when to be silent as well as when to
}speak!

CROKER ON IRISH POLITICS.
Tried Hard to Bring About the EIee.
ton Of an Irish Nationalist.

With more volubility than Richard
Croker has ever been accustomed to
display, the former Tammany leader
spoke about the recent Parliamentary
elections and Irish politics generally,
says the Dublin correspondent to the
New York World. Mr.. Croker was seen
by The Worlds correspondent at his
fine country place, Stillorgan, which
is embraced in the South Dublin con-
stituency. Walter Long. an English
man, and ex-Chief Secretary for Ire
land, was elected there over Hazleton.
the Irish Nationalist candidate.
The old New York leader had taken
a deep interest in the election. and in
order to get all the Home Rule votes to
! the polls had lent his five motor cars
and several carts.
| He was standing on the vestibule Of
his house, looking like the captain on
the bridge Of an ocean liner. A long
double breasted frieze overcoat and
blue yachting cap lent emphasis to this
resemblance Workmen were laying an
oak floor in the hall and he was SUI
perintending the job.
"Oh. yes" said Mr.. Croker, I'VE had
some excitement here over the election
but 1t was tame in comparison to hot
contest in New York. II the Nationalist
had seen to the registration Of their
voters as we do in New York. this divi-
sion would have elected Home Ruler.
They have lot to learn over here, but
the registration laws are framed to
make the enjoyment of suffrage as diff
cult as possible. A great many Nation
alists are virtually DISTINGUISHED by
these regulations.
1T beats me how any Irishman
whatever his politics, could vote for ar
Englishman like Long. who was turned
down by his own English constituency
OF course he was selected by the vote!

There were few in the audience who
heard him at the Auditorium in Mime
apolis who could not appreciate his fine
sarcasm when applied to the later day
fad of Irish parents in giving mean
lingless names to their sons and daugh-
ters. He uttered q sentence which most
every person in the audience had heard
expressed before in one form or an
other, and that is the expression often
heard from Irish parents to the effect
that they did not wish to have their
children handicapped through life by
Irish names. We submit that this one
trait proves what DR.. Hyde said about
the Irish attempting to initiate and
destroying what was good in their
makeup while initiating what was vul-
gar or meaningless in others.
Which names cause laughter. PAN
sy" O'Brien and Ruby" Mullaney or
Nora O'Brien and Bridget" Null
laney? Which names speak Of strength
and heroic deeds, Leslie" O'Donnell
and Percy" McMannus or owen
oDonnell and Malachy McMannus?
Yet, every American has some ac-
quaintance with a good old Gaelic sur
name loaded down with some mean
ingless, flabby, unchristian and unnat-
ural given name. If the words of DR..
Hyde struck home to some fond moth
ers they may have the effect Of start
ing a train of thought among the Irish
people of Minneapolis which will ulti-
mately make them the possessors of
knowledge concerning the glorious past
of the race from which they have
sprung.
DR.. Hyde is Il thorough Irishman, but
he is not flatterer. He pointed out
the weak features of Irish character
while abiding to the strong ones. He
showed clearly that the Irish have
failed to acquire the virtues of the
Saxon, while at the same time losing
the strength of the Gael. 1t would be
better for the Irish people throughout
the world If they could hear more such
speeches like the one that Douglas
Hyde delivered in Minneapolis. We
have heard altogether too many of the
ordinary speeches which picture every
failure of the Irish race as due to Eng
land.
Some more who heard the lecture
doubtless will say. 1T was very NICE
but it is impracticable." These people
have learned the Saxon way of looking
at everything from the money stand
point They put the future of dis
tinct race in the balance against COM
mercial worth. DR.. Hyde and his fol-
lowers do not maintain that the Gaelic
language will ever become a commercial
language such as the English or the
German, but he does maintain that 1t
may become the home language of a
people that form as distinct branch of
the Aryan people as did the ancient
Greeks and Romans and the Teutons
of today
The effect of DR.. Hydes lecture
was, perhaps. not to send his audi
ence home following Down with Eng
land! Hurrah for Ireland" but we
think the effect was to start train
of thought in the minds Of his listen
ers which will produce better and
more just conception Of the real situa-
ton than would any ordinary wholesale
praise of Ireland and condemnation OF
England.

early years of our country 1t was the
habit to send to the Congress of the
United States men learned in political
affairs. At that time the Congress con-
tanned a large number of brilliant men.
For that reason the debates attracted
the attention Of the country. In recent
years, especially in the north and west,
political bosses and representatives of
moneyed interests have secured their
own election to the Congress. These
men are not versed in craftsmanship.
They are. as rule, not even we'll edu-
Gated. Their whole time and attention
has been given to controlling political
machines or to creating vast fortunes.
What they have to say on matters of
statescraft Is neither valuable or in
teresting. The Southern representa-
tives are, as general rule, better
statesmen and more finished debaters.
This is so because in the South there
are no great moneyed interests and po-
litical machines are of no use there.
There are no men in the United States
Senate who have any business mixing
with Senator Bailey in debate except
possibly Senator Spooner of Wisconsin
and Senator Foraker of Ohio.
Senator Bailey's speeches always de-
mand the attention Of Congress and the
country. They furnish n flash that ra.
minds one of the great debates that
took place before the war when Clay,
Calhoun, Webster: Sumner and Seward
occupied the stage.

Most men grow up with the idea that
q wOmau's NO" means Yes In nine
cases out OF ten. Acting on this belief
many a man fails TO understand when
he has been refused. and wastes both
the woman's time and his own in futile
efforts to make her change her mind.
OF course many women do mean Yes
when they say NO" and it is these
women who keep alive the theory that
a voman's negative doesn't count.
But there comes a aime In the life Of
even the most coqueItish woman when
she says NO" means it-whatever she
may have done before and do again Justs
how is a man To md out when he has
been refused without hope of appeal2
He cannot tell by her manner OF refusal
She may be tired, cross. or worried; she
NAV feel in a particular giddy mood
and refuse TO take things seriously; she
MAY think that a little guessing time
may do him no harm. and her refusal
may be due 10 any of these reasons or
10 a combination Of them.
The Eloquence of Her Actions.
The only way 10 ind out what she
really means is to note her actions and
manner long before he proposed" A
French writer says that a woman talks
IN a loud tone TO man she is lndifIer-
ent to-a low tone to the man she is be-
ginning 10 love, and is silent with the
man she loves.
Be this as it may, certain amount Of
nervousness is IN almost unfaIling sign
of dawning love. A girl need not be silent;
hut she is not likely to be nearly as bril-
liant as usual In the company of the man
she cares for. She may rattle on from
sheer. nervous desire TO be natural, but
if he is quick to detect such things he
will see that her gayety is forced.
She will be much more sensitive where
he is concerned than in regard 10 other
men She will be apt to show jealousy,
and though she won't nag at him If she
is the right kind Of girl-she will try to
find out If he "really likes the other
girl.
And so If she says NO the next day
10 his big question he may safely believe
that she means Yes later on, But when
she means ''No''-eVen If he hasD [ yet
