Knights Elect Officers.

The annual meeting of the Mime
sofa state council of the Knights of
Columbus was held Tuesday afternoon
in st. Paul, at knights of Columbus
hall on Cedar street between Sixth and
Seventh. The reports from the differ
ent councils showed the organization
to be growing with marked rapidity.
The following officers We're chosen:
State deputy, Thomas B. Hill. Wtnona;
state secretary, E. F. Kelly, Faribault;
state treasurer, J. e. Hickey, Mankato;
warden, L. F. Kennedy, Minneapolis
Leo A. Ball of Duluth was chosen
delegate to the national convention this
summer with James Heating of Wa
basha and E. F. Kelly of Faribault as
alternates. It was decided to hold the
next convention at Duluth.

to meet the approval of the Rosebery

to meet the approval Of the Rosebery
Liberals.
1t looks now as though a severe test
is to be applied to the Irish people.
Upon the wisdom or lack of wisdom
with which they deal with this meas
ure depends very largely upon their
measure Of success in the immediate
future. 1t is to he hoped that the
measure will receive the calm and de-
liberate consideration which it de-
serves. and that the action of the con-
,ention will meet with the approval
of the Irish nation. 1t is admitted on
all hands now that the measure is not
satisfactory. The question before Ire
land is whether or not it should be
accepted as step in the right direc-
ton. Apparently the rejection or adop-
ton of the measure by the people Of
Ireland is not nearly as important as
it is for the Irish people to remain
united. The danger Of factionaisnA
growing out of this measure is very
great, and factionalism has been the
curse Of Ireland for a great many
years.

IN THE BALANCE.

The fate Of the new Irish bill is still
people toward it is still unknown One
encouraging feature about the recep-
ton of the bill is the fact that no
hasty Judgment has been passed. The
leaders of the Irish party seem inclin-
eel to favor it's passage. 1t is reported,
however, that the Irish clergy are on
posed to it. II this report is true 1t
will 'be hard for the parliamentary
leaders to secure approval of it in the
national convention to be held next
week.
Cardinal Logue is reported to have
said that "any politician who will try
to secure the bills acceptance by the
forthcoming convention will incur the
grave suspicion of endeavoring to de-
ceive his countrymen in the interest
Of the ministers
It is understood that Archbishop
Walsh who has been for so many
years a leader in the cause of Irish
nationality is also opposed to the ac-
ceptance of the bill. If these two dis
tinguished prelates are correctly re-
ported 1t may be assumed that the bill
will not meet with the approval of
the national convention. Practically
every priest in Ireland will be dele
gate.
William OBrien and Timothy Hea-
lev have openly expressed their dis
approval. The opposition Of these
men was to be expected. for they have
been for some time in open opposition
to the policies Of the parliamentary
party Mr.. Healey has declared in an
open letter that the introduction of
the bill was the worst days work done
by ireland In my time. and to proceed
with it would be crime against the
Irish nation Mr.. Healey declares
that the bill is the work of the anti
Home Rule members of the British
ministry, and says that 1t, was framed

in number in the country-but l tell
you that the old Roman Catholic

its duties as the executive of God AL

Of the nation than the Church of
Christ has at the present time. You
are too comfortable and snug as you
sit and contemplate" The Catholic

this he declared afterward he wished
only to call attention to what sincere
efforts the Roman Catholic Church
had made to bring about peace be

this we have naught to do. We live in

LEGGED to pass Judgment upon the acts
OF the chief executive. In the article
referred to. Debs goes out of his way to
indulge in downright blasphemy, al
luding to our divine Lord as the
tramp of Galilee." 1t is not surprising
to see this sneer In the Appeal. 1t is
made up of sneers at religion and
righteousness. But we note that many
labor organs of the land have re-
printed the diatribe of Debs in full.
This, we maintain, shows a remarkable
lack of judgment on part of the edi-
tors OF these papers. There is scarce
ly trade union which does not in
clude in its obligation belief in a su-
preme Being. Thousands of members
are followers of the lowly Nazarene,
who, like themselves, was a toiler.
Hundreds upon hundreds Of union men
are Catholics. They practice their re-
hgion. They would not desecrate the
holy name of Jesus. Will they accept
the taunt Of Debs with no word of
protest? We do not believe they are
made of the material that will permit
the insult to go unnoticed. Labor or
gans should not soil themselves by re-
printing the muck that is brought
forth via the Appeal to Reason. We
offer this advice as a friend. This
paper is heartily in sympathy with
unionism; but we warn our confreres
of the labor press that the vast major
ity of their readers is not in accord
with the intolerance Of Debs, and we
know whereof we speak.

That refusal, Of course, sidetracks the
matter indefinitely. Preparation for
war will therefore go on as usual, linz
tied only by the resources of each ma
ton that trains soldiers and provides
equipment for them. The war against
war must go on until military opera
tions get to be looked upon as bar
barties. The Hague meeting, however.
can still do good. for every step toward
