A subscriber in Montana sends The
Journal a clipping from the Great Falls
Tribune, one of the strongest Demo-
cratic papers in that State, in which it
is stated that Brig. Gen. George M.
Helm, a wealthy planter of Jackson,
Miss, and lifelong Democrat, has
written an open letter in which he
strongly advocates the election of Pres
ident Roosevelt for third time. He
valves the question of precedent as too
trivial for discussion and urges that
party lines be dropped in order that
business in the South may be benefited
by the reelection of Roosevelt.

In speech at Brookline last Friday
evening Gov. Guild declared the merger
of the Boston & Maine and the New
Haven roads to be the real issue at
stake during the coming campaign in
Massachusetts. Among other things
he said: THE merger, if it passes the
Legislature, will control all the lines of
transportation in Massachusetts, with
the exception of the Boston and Albany,
which is already controlled by an out
side corporation. 1t means the placing
of all transportation facilities of Mas
sachusetts i'll a single hand and that
hand to be moved by an outside arm.
1t might or it might not do all it could
for the export trade of Boston," 1t is
a matter of some interest to Maine also.

New York, New Haven and Hartford
Railroad" And although Mr.. Morse
was forced to retire from the financial
institutions with which he was connect

the battle is over and the dust and
smoke have all blown away he will
"loom larger and more powerful than
ever"

Hostility of English Catholics to
Their Irish Brethren.

In discussing the Irish council bilP'
which was recently introduced into
the British parliament, but which has
been dropped on account of the Wig
orous opposition to it by the Irish Ma
tionalist members of parliament, the
Tablet Of London, a Catholic paper
owned and edited by Englishmen.
sneeringly refers to 1.-The traditional
rhetoric about Dublin Castle" in which
Mr. BirTell INDUCED while he was ex-
planning the objects of the bill in the
House of Commons. Mr.. Birrell showed
by his remarks that he had read Irish
history, which is more than can be
said for the Tablet scribbler, who
shares the traditional ignorance of
Irish affairs and the TRADITIONAL ha-
tired Of Irish Catholics which are char
3cteristic Of the average Briton, Cath
Ole and Protestant alike. One Of the
most determined of English opponents
10 Irish Home Rule was the late Car
dinal Vaughan, the proprietor of the
Tablet. English Catholic members of
the house Of lords, like the Duke of
Norfolk and the Earl of Denbigh, are
also bitter opponents Of all measures
that propose to give justice to Catholic
ireland. IT was the same in the time
of O'Connells who implied in one of his
speeches that he almost regretted hav-
ing "emancipated" those anti-Irish
Catholic Englishmen. 1t was the same
centuries ago, before King Henry VIII
started Professionalism in England be-
cause the Pope would not permit him
to divorce his wife in order that he
might marry another The English
Catholics Of those days plundered Irish
Catholics land and houses and other
belongings, and had venal and unwor-
thy English ecclesiastics placed in high
prelatical positions of emolution in un-
fortunate Ireland. The tie of religion
had as little effect upon the rapacious
English Catholics then, in their deal
ings with Irish Catholics, as it has to-
day. The praiseworthy conduct of the
Irish Catholic members of parliament
in fighting, week after week and night
after night, the Education bill Of last
year which sought to infiict injury up
on the Catholic schools of England.
was in noble contrast to the churlish
policy and action of English Catholics.

SOME EXAMINATION HUMoR.
Queer Answers of SchooIchiIdren and
AppIicants for Jobs.

Queer mistakes are made by appli-
cants on civil service examination pa
pers. Such papers are not for public
inspection, yet occasionally the exam
iners are struck so forcibly by errors
made as to recall them years after
there is any change for the person
most interested to discover that it is
his blunder which is the subject of
comment.
A colored girl, taking the examina-
ton for teacher in the India nservice.
in reply to the question on her appli-
cation: How long do you expect to
remain in the government service?'
replied: Till death takes hold this
mortal frame"
Another applicant for position as
teacher in the Indian service was ask
ed to name three or four standard
American works of literature and their
authors. The reply, painfully penned,
was: Il will name Whitcomb Riley and
his When the Fodder and the Punkin'
is Ripe"
A butcher being examined for po-
sition as government meat inspector
was given an exercise in Copying
from plain copy" which is merely an
exercise to prove that a man can re-
produce, properly spelled and punctu-
ated, a printed paragraph set down be-
fore him. 1t seems also an exercise in
common sense and accurate observa-
ton of spelling and punctuation. This
applicant wrote in the space provided
for the copy from plain copy: Il am

Smoking in Ancient Ireland.

There are doubts as to whether
smoking was not known before the
days of Raleigh, says the Daily Chron-
icle of London. Small tobacco pipes,
of an ancient FORM" writes an arch
aeologist cat the beginning of the last
century,, ARE frequently found in Ire
land on digging or blowing up the
ground, particularly in the vicinity of
those circular intrenchments called
Danish forts, which were more prob
ably the villages or settlements Of the
native Irish"
He adds that 'in the Anthologia Hi
bernica dublin, 1899 there is a print
of one, which was found at Brannocks-
town, County Kildare, sticking be-
tween the teeth of human skull; and
it is accompanied by. a paper, which, on
the authority of Herodotus Glib. j. sec.
36). Strabo Glib. vii. 1861, goes to prove
that the northern nations of Europe
were acquainted with tobacco or a
herb of similar properties and that
they smoked it through small tubes
long before the existence of America
was known
