While at the national cap,tal las

While at the national capital last
Tuesday, w. j. Bryan's attention was
called to the recent supreme court de-
cision holding that a. corporation has
right to discharge a man because he
is a. member of labor union. Upon
this point Mr.. Bryan dictated the fol-
lowing statement to the Associated
Press: Il do not understand by what
course Of reasoning the majority of the
court reached the decision announced.
The union is a lawful association, and
if a man can be discharged because he
belongs to labor union, by the same
logic he can he discharged If he be-
longs to a political party Objectionable
to the employer or to church against
which the employer is prejudiced Fol-
ciple laid down by the court, as
understand the decision. would enable
the corporation to set itself up as a
dictator in regard to the habits,
thoughts and convictions of It's en-
ployes on any and every subject. The
fact that two Of the Justices have dis
sented enables ME to dissent from the
conclusion Of the majority without dis
respect to the ability or high powers
of those who have given what regard
as an erroneous construction to the
constitution

The Daughters Of the Confederacy
are to erect monument to the MEM
ory of Captain Wirz, who was in COM
mand during the war of the Anderson
vile prison. After the war he was
tried by United States courtmartial for
excessive cruelty to Northern prison
ers and executed in Washington. The
legality and Justice of this execution
has been a serious question. South
erners maintain that Captain Wirz was
martyr. The monument will contain
tablets setting forth facts to show that
his execution was illegal. One tablet
charges that the United States govern
ment Is to blame for the suffering at
Andersonville. Another sets forth the
words Of Grant. in refusing to exchange
prisoners with the South. which shows
that Grant did not want the Southern
soldiers in Northern prisons released.
The third tablet shows there were 22O =
600 Confederates In Northern prisons
while there were 100000 Union soldiers
IN Southern prisons. and although there
were $4,000 more Union soldiers in
prison, Grant refused to make the ex.
change. According to this Southern
account the deaths in Northern prisons
were 2S.536. while the deaths in South
ern prisons were 22.o5e. showing that
IL per cent Of the Confederate prison.
ers died in prison. while less than 9
per cent. of the Union soldiers died in
Southern prisons. This action on the
part Of the Southern people will arouse
a storm from the members of the G.
A. R. and their friends.

Another American girl has bought
and paid for a foreign title. The trans
action has been closed and the usual
papers delivered. The only difference
in this transaction from the former
ones of like character is the additional
effort which was made to conceal the
real character of the transaction. For
long time papers have been Allied
with interviews calculated to impress
upon people that the matter was n love
affair and not financial transaction.
These international marriages are
worthy of note only because of the con-
sideration upon which they are based
and the results to which they lead. The
romantic features attached to the at
fair by the advertising agents of the
contracting parties soon give way to
disputes over the real consideration
There have been a great many of these
international marriages and the pecu-
liar feature of them all is that foreign
ers with Il title never pick poor
American girl or one in moderate
means. On the other side the higher
the title the foreigner the greater the
ease with which the American heiress
is won. The foreigners get what they
want and the American girls get what
they think they want. But notwith-
standing all the display connected witt,
these vulgar International marriages.
the parties are unable to conceal the
real fact that it is a matter Of buying
and selling. They are the butt for the
satire of the world and they deserve
all they get. The only unfortunate
thing connected with these marriages.
from the standpoint Of the American
people. is that foreigners are likely 20
judge Americans by this very small
percentage of foolish girls with lots Of
money.

Mr.. Bryan has long been noted for
his happy epigrams. He never better
described a democrat than in his
speech at the Jefferson club in Chi
scago recently. when he said: "rhe
aristocrat regards society as an oc-
Eanization suspended from the top. The
democrat considers society as a struc-
ture built from the bottom. The DEM
socrat would legislate for the interests

PARLIAMENT IN SESSION.

On Wednesday the English Parlia-
ment assembled for what promises to
be an eventful session. 1t is a matter
OF great regret to the friends of Ire
land that the health of Sir Henry
Campbell -Bannerman prevented his
presence. The condition Of the pre-
mier's health is the most discouraging
factor in the immediate situation. He
has been consistent friend of Irish
demands. Should he be removed from
the leadership OF the Liberal party. it
is likely that his place would be filed
by Sir Asqutth, or someone belonging
to the section of the Liberal party op-
posed to Home Rule. The session oren-
ed with the Irish party more united
than it has been for some time. Every
one expects that Ireland will take up a
large portion of the time Of the :.res-
ent session. The Liberal party Is like
ly to have trouble because of the
growth Of Socialism in labor circles in
England. On the eve of the assem-
bling Of Parliament the labor confer
ence held at Hull was ruled by the So
cialists.
If Sir Henry Campbell -Bannerman's
physical condition should prevent him
from keeping the leadership Of his par
tS. it would not be surprising il .llers
We're a dissolution of Parliament and
an appeal to the country. It is almost
certain that neither Asquith or Grey
could command the sympathy of the
Liberal party as does the present
Premier. and If either one of those men
should be called to the leadership If
the government it is certain that the
Irish Nationalists would commence at
once stirring campaign against the
Liberal majority.
The opposition to the Liberal party
is also weakened by the ill-health OF
Mr.. Chamberlain, and 1t is a certainty
that he will never again lead the Con-
servative forces in the House of Com
mons. Thus at the very time that tho
Liberals are deprived Of their leader
the Conservatives also lose their ablest
and best fighter.
Compared with either the Liberal or
the Conservative forces in the House
of Commons, the Irish Nationalists, in
discipline and leadership, will surely
not suffer during the present session.
Mr. Redmond not only enjoys the con-
fidence OF the great majority of :rish
leaders. but it is reasonably sure that
he will have support from sources
which have heretofore opposed him. 1t
is the opinion of English observers ;hat
the present session OF the British
Parliament will be the most evcntful
one for moro than a generation.

An honest and earnest subscriber
writes us asking what is meant by
Modernism" and where is 1.-The thing
to be found, says the Wichita, Kas.,
Catholic. Well, it is not worth look
Ing for. Modernism is mental aberra-
alton which manifests itself in our sec
ular journals and magazines when the
editors attempt to deal with religious
questions of which they have but a
superficial knowledge, if they have any
at all. A. Catholic modernist is one
who never reads religious book or
takes a Catholic paper but knows it

The following from the New York
Sun sounds very much like what that
paper was feeding us on in the months
preceding the national convention in
1904: "I would greatly depreciate
contest says Mr.. Taft, which would
tmperil Republican victory in Mo-
vember.' This discretion arrives late.
Mr.. Tafts patron. working the knife
up and down in the ribs of the other
fellow may be pleased to ask, is it well
with thee, my brother?' but the Re-
publican party of New York is divided
into factions that are hardly to be ap-
peased. Mr.. Roosevelts tactics have
increased the animosities and his ad-
ministration has greatly sharpened
Republican divisions and mutinies Be-
tween Odellism and Rooseveltism, New
York is inclined to be a Democratic
state. Can the Republican party of
New York be united? Can any candi-
date. however strong and irenic, get
the votes of that large Republican and
independent element that is disguised
with Rooseveltism and asks only for
a Democratic candidate who represents
constitutional and sane Democracy"
Four years ago the Democracy gave
the Sun the candidate 1t asked for and
a few weeks after the convention the
Sun came out for Roosevelt. This zinc
we are going to make the Sun select
between an irrational and unconsti-
tutional Democracy, represented By
Mr.. Bryan. and Mr.. Taft, the heir and
beneficiary of Roosevelt. Just save
this quotation from the Sun and see
what that paper does next summer,
after ]. Pierpont Morgan decides in ia
vor of Taft We surmise that the Sun
will then discover that Mr.. Taft is
strong and irenic. whatever that means.
