The Papal CoIors.

We are so used to yellow and white
as the Papal colors that we are apt to
forget that they are Of only compare
lively recent date. AS matter Of
fact this year marks the centenary Of
their adoption The Marchese Mac.
swiney has just brought out book, in
which he describes the occasion on
which the present colors were intro
duced. In the year 1908. when the
French troops were occupying Rome,
the general in command. Miollis. incor-
porated the pontiAcal troops in the
French army. and left them still to
wear the old Papal colors Of gold and
purple. Plus VII, who was then Pone
protested against this incorporation,
and to avoid confusion gave to the
Papal soldiers the now familiar colors
of yellow and white. It is a sign OF the
tyranny that the French then exercised
over Rome. that their officers. irritated
by this change, forced the remaining
Papal troops to take of the new col
ors. This act Of the French. says the
Marchese. led to an interchange Of din
lomatic notes between the Papal Gov
eminent and the French. which ended
in an order that the troops to Italy
were not to wear the new colors. AZ
ter the downfall of the French power.
when the Pope received back his
rights. instead of resuming the old COL
ors he retained the new ones Of yellow
and white. which are those in use at
the present day.

tional platform declares for revision
OF the tariff. Republican leaders in
Congress have been declaring in ia

some years past. Mr. Taft. in his
speech Of acceptance. frankly says that
some Of the tariff schedules ought to
be revised upward. Vice Presidential
Candidate Sherman, in his speech OF

protectionist because experience
has demonstrated that the application

difference between the cost of produce

BRYAN COMING
Democratic Presidential Nominee to
Speak at Fair Grounds.

OeHocrdtlc PRESIDENTIAL Nominee to
Speak at Fair Grounds.
In spite OF rumor to the contrary
William Jennings Bryan. Democratic
candidate for the presidency Of the
United States. is to speak at the Min
nesota state fair. and has announced
Monday, Aug. 81. as the date Of his
one and only appearance in this state
during the coming campaign.
The official announcement of his
coming followed upon a visit of invi-
tation paid him by President B. F.
Nelson Of the Minnesota state fair
and Frederick Lynch, former cam
paign manager for Gov John A. John
son. In previous Geographic CORE
spondence Mr.. Bryan had sent his
compliments to Gov. johnson. but was
unable to accept the invitation Of the
Minnesota state fair, as he was "in
the hands of the committee"
The eloquence Of Messrs. Nelson and
Lynch so pervaded Fairview. however,
as to take Mr.. Bryan out of the hands
Of the committee and place him among
the stellar attractions at the semi
centennial state fair Of Minnesota.
AS presidential candidate Mr.. Brv-
an refuses to speak when those who
hear him must pay an admission fee.
SC Mr.. Nelson has ridden grandly be :
tween the horns of the dilemma by
planning for. Forum Of 1908" Sew
eral acres nearest the Smelling avenue
gate Of the state fair grounds are to
be fenced off. and this section of the
grounds is to be thrown open to the
public while the peerless one is preach
ing the doctrine of Democracy. The
speakers platform will be so situated
as to enable the thousands already on
the grounds to hear him from their
side Of the temporary enclosure, and
at the conclusion of the speech those
who desire to enter the fair grounds
proper will be admitted at the usual
ticket price through number of
wicket gates opening from the speak
er's enclosure into the main grounds.
Mr.. Bryan has announced that he
will dwell largely upon the tariff ques-
ton. and it is quite probable that
from the same platform other speak
ers of national prominence will be
heard during the week The desir-
ability of presenting himself to the
people of Minnesota at the Minnesota
state fair is being properly impressed
upon William H. Taft. Republican
candidate for the presidency. and there
are several other men of large inter-
est to the American public who will
also appear in this impromptu 1908
Forum under similar conditions.
That the presence Of Bryan will as
sist materially in making Monday,
Aug. 81. banner opening day in ev-
cry way is the opinion of the board of
managers. which is preparing for the
reception and entertainment Of 1o0,-
900 visitors.

Recently the Raltjnore SIM a,

Recently the Baltimore Sun an
nounced editorially that il would sup
port Mr.. Taft in the campaign. The
Baltimore Sun is nominally a Demo-
cratic paper. 1t did not support Mr..
Bryan in 1895. The announcement Of
the Sun formed the subject OF columns
Of first-page comment by the Republi-
can press. On Wednesday last the
New York World, which has fought
Bryan for twelve years, announced
editorially that it would support him
ir this campaign. 1t is safe to say
that ten readers know of the New

of the Baltimore Sun, and yet the an

One hears-even among Catholics
occasionally-one charge often brought
against the Catholic idea of educa :
ton. 1t is that there is too much time
wasted reciting prayers and that it is
not intellectual enough, says the SYRIA
cuse. N. y. Catholic Sun. If this life
is a preparation for the next ought
there to be any objection to prayers
The trouble with most of US living to-
day, in this intensely practical age. is

Some of the very greatest sinners have

| The work of the session Of Parlia-

dealt with a delicate situation ami
maintained its independence and dis
cipline in its own ranks. In view Of
the situation in Ireland. the reception
and support to be accorded the ENJOYS
of the Nationalist party to this coun-
try next month is assured. Surely
friends of Ireland in this country can
not give support to any faction or any
plan organized on the basis Of opposi-
ton to the program of the Nationalist
party. Election after election every
Nationalist constituency in IRELAND,
80 out of a total of 1903, returns an

policies of the Irish party and the
United Irish League. Not only are all
the Home Rule constituencies repre-
scented by members Of the Irish Ma
tionalist party. but the county councils,
the district councils. town commits
sions and poor law guardians. all Off
Gals elected by the people are sup
rorters of the Irish Natialist party.
Surely. we in America cannot ask for
better evidence of the attitude Of the
Irish people toward the Irish party.
