THE CANNON ROARED.

While campaigning in home State,
Speaker Cannon was once inveigled in
to visiting the public schools of a town
where he was billed to speak.
In one of the lower grades, an ambi-
tious teacher called upon a youthful
Demosthenes to entertain the distin-
guished visitor with an exhibition of
amateur oratory The selection attempt
ed was Byron s ''Battle of Waterloo, -
and just as the boy reached the end of
the first paragraph, Speaker Cannon
suddenly gave vent to a violent sneeze.
80 But, hush! bark! - detained the
youngster-" a deep sound strikes like
a rising knelll Did we hear it, -
The visitors smiled, and a moment
later the second sneeze-whieh the
Speaker was vainly trying to hold back
came with increased violence.
"But bark (bawled the boy)-' that
heavy sound breaks in once more,
And nearer, clearer, deadlier than be
forel
Arm! arm! it is the cannon S opening
roar!'
This was too much, and the laugh
that broke from the party swelled to g
roar when "Uncle Joe'' chuckled: Put
up your weapons, children; l won ]
shoot any more Success.

HOME RULE PLEDGE
Given Publicly in London by the Prime
Minister.

At monster meeting in Albert
hall, London, Herbert Henry Asquith
the British prime minister, laid down
the policy on which the Liberal gov
eminent is appealing to the country.
He repeated what had been said by
other ministers-that If returned the
government would demand the limita-
ton of the power Of the house of lords
and then went step further and
pledged that the Liberal party would
grant self-government to Ireland.
The premier's pledge on this subject
was in the following words:
"Speaking last year before my &C.
ccssion to the premiership described
the Irish policy as the one undeniabie
failure of British craftsmanship.
repeat tonight what I said then, and
on behalf of my colleagues and, be-
lieve, on behalf Of my party, 1 reiter-
ate that this is a problem to be solved
only in one way-by policy which,
while explicitly safeguarding the su-
preme, indivisible authority of the i'm
perial parliament, can set up in Ire
land system of full self-government
as regards purely Irish affairs
"There is not and cannot be any
question of separation. There is not
and cannot be any question of rivalry
or competing for supremacy subject
to these conditions. That is the Lib
eral policy. For reasons which we be-
lieve to have been adequate the pres
ent parliament was disabled in ad-
vance from proposing any such solu-
tiioa, but in the new house the Lib
eral government at the head Of a Lio-
eral majority will in this matter be
entirely Free"

SO hard. Who can imagine st. Joseph's
eagerness and anxiety! AS to Mary
the touching preparations which
mothers usually make for the birth
Of their children served to make her
feel her difficulties all the moro.
However, even this cloud of uneasi-
ness could not disturb her. She bore
within her bosom the "Ordainer" OF
all things-He who knows all and can
do all. To be anxious about Him
would be puerile. AS to herself-what
did 1t matter? Had she not every
thing-all-with that Treasure? When
she thought of the part that had been
given to her, could she envy the
wealthy mothers? To suffer with Jesus
in her bosom was for her, a double
joy; it was to share IN the role Of
the Saviour even before He Himself
had entered upon lit was to carry
the cross in bearing Him who would
extend Himself upon it. She awaited
the Will of God. And this God, poured
into her soul. drop by drop. a serenity
greater than that of the night which
enveloped the hillside.
Joseph searched diligently but found
no place. At last, having no further
hope in man, they thought Of the grot-
to under tile ienoll. 1t is to this PLACES
they wend their way. Providence, kind,
maternal and active, conducted their
steps.

LittI. Sisters Of tho Poor.

A n-Catholic member Of the stan
of the Indianapolis News says:
Working at the desk, with head bent
over the page on which / was writ
ing, somewhat laboriously, for thought
did not come without much effort, I
was standing near my left elbow.
Turning half way round, not without
an air of fretfulness at being dis
turbed, saw two silent black figures,
black robes and black hoods with
shining white linen caps beneath.
What quiet little figures they were!
How serene their faces! Gentle beg
gars as they were, had made UP my
mind not to give cent. There are
too many asking aims as Christmas Is
coming on. The spokeswoman Of the
two in low tone, scarcely moving her
lips, said: Something for our poor.
If you please; anything that you feel
like giving. no matter how much, or
how little?"
The request was made in such
meek way, and yet there was an air
OF nobleness, Of dignity, about the
beggar, a sweetness and delicacy. How
was it possible to refuse? Something
for our poor; anything you may feel
like giving"
1 began to tumble in my pockets.
Both the Sisters. Little Sisters of the
Poor, were smilingly encouraging the
search. From an aggregation of keys
and the smallest of small change,
something was at last gathered. AS
it passed from the hand of the giver
to that of the Little Sister there was
another smile from both of these gen.
| tie beggars, a sweet toned "Thank you
for our poor and they went away as
silently as they came.
But the atmosphere they left be-
hind them was that of the blessed
Christmas time, and after they We're
gone the giver, feeling good because
of his small donation, wondered if he
would not have felt proportionately
better had it been larger.

which would remove the
Irish Nationalists from this historic
and, hope, final fight for home rule
and against the house of lords, as aa
irreparable disaster.
The speech of Mr.. Redmond and the
decision of the Irish bodies at home
supporting the Liberals have removed
this peril The English and the Irish
masses are marching to battle togeth-
er for the same ends, against the same
enemies. And that is the ideal sit
uation. =.
From, she Irish point of view, then,
the battle is going all our way. We
whole Liberal party fighting for COM
plete home rule, making it one of the
issues of the election, determined that
there shall be no mistake about this
having been one of the issues, and,
therefore, in the position when the
election is over, of declaring that the
country has given the Liberal party
the mandate to deal with home rule.
This means that home rule will be
proposed in the coming parliament;
and it means that if the miscellaneous
omnipotence of the house of lords to
block all legislation favorable to Ire
land be destroyed, home rule will be
an accomplished fact within the linz
it's of this coming parliament, that is
to say, within the next four or five
years.
All this, of course, depends OH
whether the Liberals win the general
election. All I have seen in England
confirms the opinion l have made
public since the beginning Of the con-
troversy, that the Liberals are going
to win, and to win with consider
able majority. 1 have been reading
the speeches of all che Liberal lead
ers, and, the one and all breathe the
spirit of courage, of resolute purpose,
of most buoyant rejoicing over the
chance the insanity of the house Of
lords has at last given to the Liberal
party to deal a smashing and final

ana the other Boer leaders proved the
magnificent harvest that comes to a
nation which dares to be JUST, generous
and faithful to. It's own traditions OF
free and representative government
But in the case of Asquith you had
to deal with a man who had been a
friend and follower Of Roseberry for
years. who had been one of the Lead
ers in the movement that transformed
the policy of Gladstone and full. home
rule to the policy Of bit-by-bit home
rule. and who, above all things. in the
general election of 1905 had shackled
his own hands and the hands of his
party by the pledge that during that
parliament no. measure. would be intro
duced which could be called home rule.
It is palpable that Asquith now sees
that the old policy Of complete home
rule has become popular and practi-
cable
There was just. one factor that re-
manned before the struggle for ireland
in this election could be fought with
every advantage on it's side That was
that there should be a thorough I'M
derstanding between the Liberal and
the Irish party. It all depended on
Asquith. Declarations by every single
one of the other ministers, from the
highest to the smallest, in favor of
home rule would not have suff1ced.
Asquith as prime minister, as lead
: err of his party, as the man mainly re-
sponsible for the bit-by-bit policy of
home rule-he was the man who real
ly counted. With him the whole sit
situation remained obscure Which,
in its turn, meant that the Irish lead
ers would also have found their sit
uation obscure-even impossible. They
could not have asked the Irish voters
in the British constituencies to vote
for the Tory-the Irish wouldn't have
done it. Their hatred for the house
of lords and of the Tories is almost
as fierce as, perhaps even fiercer than
that Of the English-they have SUI
fered more.
On the other hand, the Irish lead
ers could not ask the Irish in Great
Britain to have voted Liberal if the
Liberal leader had been hostile, even
If he had been ambiguous. And 60

VIII Insist on Being Treated
As Political Prisoners.


London, July Sir Albert Rutsen,
magistrate Of the Metropolitan police
court, today, decided against the suf-
fragettes on the point raised by Miss
Parkhurst regarding the right to pre-
sent petition to Premier Asquth. and
the court sentenced Miss Parkhurst 10
pay fine of $25, or go to prison for a
month on the charge of resisting the
police
The constitutional question raised by
Miss Parkhurst was argued at great
length, and the magistrate before an
nouncing the judgment said that he
anticipated that an appeal would be
made to higher court. Miss Park
hurst, who defended herself. declared
that her assault on Police Inspector
Jarvis on the night Of June 80, when
116 suffragettes were arrested for try
ing to force their way into the House
of Lords, was the gauge of battle to
the government and defiance for is
unconstitutional ways"
II was aware" continued Miss Park
hurst. that when I started that depu-
taticn of eight helpless women, about
whom men armed with opera glasses
had congregated to watch as though
it was good show, it was bound to re-
suit in ignominious humiliation; but
until women have the power to elect
representatives to Parliament it is their
duty to maintain the right of sub
ject to petition the King through Par
lament. If the magistrate repeats his
former sentences we will gOtO prison,
but we will not conform any longer
with the prison regulations AS pOliti-
cal offenders we will insist on being
treated as such and not as ordinary
will act as did Miss Dunlop"
Miss Dunlop secured her release yes
terday by starving herself for 81 hours.
Miss Haverfield, daughter of Lord
Abinger, was given the same sentence
as Miss Parkhurst.
Both the women notified the court
of their intention to appeal from the
Judgment and they were released by
the magistrate on promising to abstain
from sending further deputations to the
House of Commons during the present
session. The case of all other suffra-
gettes arrested with Miss Parkhurst
were adjourned pending the outcome
of the appeal.
Followers of Miss Despard, who have
been acting as sentinels around the
House of Commons for the past week,
picketed Premier Asquith's residence
in Downing street this afternoon but
