Winter Race Meet,

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Dec. 4.-The

the scene of the biggest winter racing

REAL RULER OF IREL AND

Cardinal Michael Logue, archbishop of Ar
magh and prima'e Of all Ireland, the man who is
regarded by all even the British government, as
the real ruler of Ireland" quite appropriately took
a leading part in the centennial celebration Of tho
archdiocese Of New York. Not only is he a fellow
countryman Of the majority of the people of the
diocese but he is the direct ecclesiastical descend
ant of st Patrick who was the first bishop Of
Armagh; the Armagh cathedral, like that of New
York is named after that saint, and Armagh is
Archbishop Farlcys home county.
Cardinal Logue is possessed of the truest sort
of patriotism, patriotism that urged him in the
first speech he ever delivered in Amortization this
is his first visit 20 this country-to urge his hear
ers never to forget the old sod, but not to allow
their love for their native land Of their fathers to

John Joseph Fitzgerald, or "Fitzie,' as he is

one congressman who is making a name for him
self in the present alleged do nothing session.
John Joseph is a member of the minority aud a
loyal follower of John Sharp Williams, hence he is
in his clement in these closing days of the ses.
sion, when John Sharp is making campaign mate
rial for the Democracy.
John Joseph is gradually, but surely, working
his way to leadership on the Democratic side.
While Congressman De Almond of Missouri is
the man upon whom will descend the mantle Of
John Sharp Williams when the latter goes to
take the senate seat to which the Mississippi
Democrats elected him last fall, the Democracy
will want one or two others to bear the brunt OF
battle on the floor Fitzgerald appears to be suro
of being one of these.
