Waterbury, Conn, June 2.-Con-
gressman George M. Lilley, whose res
olution and charges in connection with
the so-calied submarine boat scandal
resulted last week in a severe scoring

a statement on the subject.
Letter-OTers Compromise.
Incorporated in the statement is a
letter which declares two weeks be-
fore the report of the committee de-

pressed admiration for Lilley and en-
deavored to effect an agreement where
by the matter under investigation by
the committee might be compromised.

after the doctor had called upon Bou-

condition necessitated him leaving the
city.
Die Rather Than Withdraw.
The letter adds when the proposition
for compromise was carried to Lilley
by the messenger, the congressman
replied he would rather die than with
draw the charges, which he knew were
honest and square. Lilley says he still
believes the Electric Boat company has
received excessive profits in the sale
of submarine boats to the government.

Among the important matters that
failed of final action were the amuse-

PRIESTHOOD OF IRELAND.

William f. Curtis. writing for the Record-Herald
Of his impressions Of Ireland and It's people, says
Of the Irish Priesthood:
Il have formed a very high opinion Of the Irish
priesthood from the examples / have been able to
meet and to know. They have impressed me a.
an unusually high class Of men intellectually well
as spiritually and every one must admire their de-
yoton, their sincerity and their sefsacrifce. Some
Of them naturally become dctatoral, for it IS often
necessary for them 10 assume air Of authority
to preserve the discipline IL their parishes, but
think that IS or less the rule IN other coun-
tries and in all denominations. You can't talk back
to Judge or school teacher or parson. And
that i undoubtedly the ground for the charge 50
frequently made that Ireland is priest ridden"
But the average OF intelligence. culture and eff
cheney among the Irish priesthood IS probably
higher than it is in any other country, and their
influence is correspondingly greater.
"There i great deal Of criticism about the
activity Of the Irish priests in politics and that
Gnd 70 Be largely a misrepresentation. Many 81
the priests do take active part in political af-
fairs but 1t is entirely matter Of individual taste
and inclination, and the proportion Is probably no
larger than it Is among the ministers Of all de-
nominations in the United States. Those who are
well posted on this subject assure me that about
onc-third Of the total number Of Catholic priests
habitually interest themseses in political affair.

an active part In educational matters. and about
one-half Of them let politics entirely alone This

equal accuracy, although they are much less nu-
rnerOus than the Roman Catholic clergy

AMERICAN CATHLISISM.

The Outlook, perhaps the most influential of all
nonCatholic religious periodicals. has this say:
But America today stands in peculiar need of
that contribution which the Roman Catholic church
is peculiarly fitted to furnish. For the chief peril
TO America IS from disorganizing forces and
lawless spirit from excessive organization, but
from disorder and disorganizarion. One Of ME
chief lessons Americans need to learn Is reverence
for constituted authority and willing obedience 10
law.
This lesson the Roman aCtholic church Is pc
culiarly fitted to teach. And within the reach OF
lis influence are those who most need to be taught.
That church Is a vast spiritual police force pro-
lection Of society from the reckless apostles Of self
will But It teaches submission control and that
Is the first step toward the habit Of sef-contro in
the individual which IS indispensable condition

The Outlook congratulates America upon the vel
dences OF spiritual prosperity in the Roman CathO

ciates the service which that church Is rendering

which Is the foundation OF civil and religious lib

WHEN MAsONS BECIME CATHOLICS.

The Five Poines of Fellowship is a Masonic
monthly published at Covington- III Kentucky. In
its July number it says:
"IIis Holiness, Plus X, following the example Of
long line Of llustrious Pontiffs Of the Holy Ro-
man Catholic church, has recently issued an en-
cyccal forbdding the laity Of the Roman Catholic
church uniting with the Masonic fraternity. For
so issuing he is entitled to the everlasting graft
tude of Masons the world over, for the very good
reason that the encyclica will have the effect to
keep out of the Masonic order undesirable class
Of men. Roman Catholic becoming a member
of the Masonic order and claiming to hold his mem
bership III the Roman Catholic church cannot be
true to both and if false TO either he cannot be
true to either On the other hand, a Freemason
who becomes a member of the Roman Catholic
church proves false to the Masonic order. 1t IS
fair to infer that it is not the sublime teachings
Of Freemasonry that attracted the Roman Catholic.
but only the substantial benefits he hoped would
accrue to him by becoming Freemason. On the
other hand, it is likewise safe to infer that Is not
change Of heart that attracted the Freemason but.
like his brother Roman Catholic it is only the sub
stantia benefits he hoped would accrue to him by
becoming a Roman Catholic"

ference that, as a rule a atholic is attracted to

that he expects from it in his endeavors ge on in

But it is not safe to infer that Freemason.
