o'coNNELL's EARLY FRIEND.
He Was the Father Of the Late Lady
Rurdett Coutts

BY the recent death Of Lady Burdett-
Coutts a link with the past of interest
to Ireland is broken. Her father. Sir
Francis Burdett, was one Of the intro
ducers to the House of Commons OF
Daniel O'Connell after the Clare elec-
ton Of 1929. His other introducer was
Lord Duncannon, afterwards Earl OF
Bessborough, Daniel o'Connclls last
and loyal friend through life, who died
in Dublin Castle during his Viccroyalty
on the 10th Of May, 1s47, the day after
O'Connell, whose death was not known
in Ireland till ten days subsequently,
had breathed his last at Genoa. The
large part taken by Sir Francis Bur-
dett in the cause OF Catholic Enllnci-
patton in the English Parliament is
now almost forgotten, and certainly lit

Of history.
In 1925 the discussion Of the Catholic
question was raised on the motion Of

Bill was actually passed by tho House
of Commons only 10 be- thrown out on
, it's second reading by the House of
Lords. Sir Francis Burdett, however,
was undismayed. In May, 1928. he car
ried another resolution in favor of the
removal of Catholic disabilities, and
tho resolution was communicated To
the Lords at a conference, who re-
fused their concurrence by 81 majority
Of forty four Almost Immediately af-
forwards the Clare election and the re-
turn of O'Connell took place, which
were followed by the Emancipation Act
in the following year.
+. Sir Francis Eurdett III 1917, before
he became associated with O'Connell,
had a strange experience in Ireland OF
being one of the principal figures in
one Of the most sensational trials for
murder in Irish annals. In 1917 Roger
O'Connor the brother Of Arthur O.
Connor, the leader in the United Irish-
men movement, was placed OH his tri-

was kept in custody. and subsequently

Gartan, and that ST. Column Cille had
prophesied that no person born in
Gartan parish would ever be hanged.

their ranks will come the states
mems, ministers, teachers, business
men, and women in all walks of
life. Will they be God fearing,
conscientious men and women,
adding glory and honor to their
country, state, nation and race?
Or will they be worthless charac-
tiers, lawless and unworthy citi-
zens, anarchists, enemies of public
good; bring shame, not glory,
terror, not peace, brooding vice,
not virtue? Which shall it be?
Trustees and patrons, it behooves
you and me to assist these young
people in our county schools lay
foundation for themselves that
will provide them with the proper
facilities upon which a proper life
may be built; the young need to
be guided and it is the duty of
their elders to help them to direct
their feet in the paths of duty and
rectitude, so that they may be
prepared for the battles which
must take place later in their lives
with the trying ordeals of this
world.
We have good schools, but we
need better ones, and to perfect
them, we need the cooperation of
the parents. Remember that the
cornerstone of this land of the free
and of the brave is the free public
school system. AS long as the
schools remain and stay true to
American principals, will freedom
and liberty live; but when the
schools go down, then goes down
this Republic.
Governments will be Just what
the individual citizens are, especi-
ally in the democracy. And the
citizen will hold to those things
which have been instilled into
them in the bone and in the
school. As the twig is bent so
the tree is inclined" How i'm.
portant it is then that the schools
should be right.
And now, in conclusion let us
all work with true and honest
zeal, putting cur shoulders united
ly to the wheel, for the advance
ment and uplifting of our schools
which are the bulwarks of a free
country; and thereby leave some
thing for the coming generations
that VIII mould their character to
stand and be remembered long
after we have passed away. Iron
will rust, wood will rot, marble
and granite wear away; character
alone will stand the test and live
through countless ages. Man dies,
but his memory lives; Fame is a
vapor, popularity all accident,
riches take wings; those who cheer
today will curse tomorrow: only
one thing endures character.
Let us then be up and doing,
With heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait. 4"
