 little red haired child beside him,
 for his invalid wife or for his coun- sel, with now and then a glance at a talesman, Haywood shows no sign that he realizes his position. His youngest daughter sits beside him and generally has her arm on the big mans shoulder. Now and then he turns to her and smiles. She seems delighted at the attention and in turn will look at her mother, who oc- cupies an invalid's chair and laugh outright. Once or twice the tension has been relieved by laugh from the older girl. who sits beside the mother. She has frequently joined in the general amusement caused by some ludicrous remark from a tales man or a facetious thrust of the counsel and her laughter rises above the subdued cackle of a court house laugh.

REDMOND'S TASK
Catholic Opposition 10 the Bir- reIl Bill Makes it More
 Difficult.

Dublin, May 14.-The active hos tility of the Catholic church against Mir Birrell's Irish bill renders spe- cially difficult John E. Redmond's s task of securing its approval by the forthcoming nationalist convention. Cardinal Logue, primate of all Ire land, has now joined Archbishop Walsh and the bishops of Limerick and Kildare in denouncing the meas uer and the lead given by these pre- lates is particularly fateful as prac- tically every parish priest in Ireland will be delegate to the convention. The nationalist revolt Is being assidu- ously stimulated by Timothy M. Healy. William O'Brien and other politicians. MT Healy, in an open letter declared that the introduction of the bill was the worst days work done for Ireland in my time and to proceed with 1t would be a crime against the Irish nation."
 He added "The first draft of the bill was better than the last. Each fresh draft grew steadily worse un- der the shears of Roseberyism," re- ferring to Foreign Secretary Grey, War Secretary Haldane and Chan cellor of the Exchequer Asquith, the followers of Lord Roseberry who are members of the cabinet.
 Neither the chief secretary for Ire land nor the premier, according to MT Healy, favored the introduction of the 'stunted bantling which only saw the light of day because of the pressure of the Irish leaders"
 Cardinal Logue goes so far as to say:
 "I believe that any politician who will try to secure the bills accepted by the forthcoming convention will in- cur the grave suspicion of endeavor- ing to deceive his countrymen in the interest of the ministry"

The citizens of San Francisco, cast
ing about for some one to remake
their broken municipal government
and to reconstruct their ruined city,
We're seriously considering one Mac
Arthur. labor leader, for temporary
mayor, says Golfers In view of the
odium which Ruef Schmitz, and their
allied criminals have cast upon the
name of union labor in San Francisco
this is a compliment not only to Mac
Arthur. but also to legitimate trade
unionism. The working men of San
Francisco. as working men have done
elsewhere. went mad with theories
Those demagogues and political OPP
portunists who fasten on union labor
for the magic that is in the name
turned this enthusiasm to their own
corrupt purposes and to the purposes
of corrupt capitalists. The union
plumbers, masons, bricklayers, carpen-
tiers, walters, longshoremer were vic
tins. not accomplices, of schmitz and
Ruef. All this time certain real labor
leaders like Macarthur have kept their
hands from picking and stealing and
gone ahead, doing the best in their
power for their class and its common
good. 1t was not likely that San
Francisco would take Macarthur. The
city needs not only an honest and
able man, but a man of education in
the larger activities of business. Never
theless, this complimentary mention of
Macarthur indicates that, in spite of
Schmitz, there are labor leaders who
deserve and have public confidence.
