pendence, and be able to dictate t.,
them when a crisis like the present
confronts them. We are confident that
the Tories will go down in defeat in the
approaching election, no matter what
action the Irish party may take. 1t is
not good policy, however. for TIE
Irish party to help the Liberals with
an overwhelming majority. 1t should
try to make itself the balance of power
in the new parliament between the
conflicting British parties and make
the Liberals carry out the pledge OF
Home Rule or GUST them from Office.
1t should call upon Irish constituencies
to relegate to private life the nominal
Nationalist who promised to sit, act
and vote with it in parliament and
afterwards violated their pledge. \
united Irish party is indispensable al
this time. If the party fails to act
wisely and well in the next parliament,
the Irish may lose confidence in it and
try more drastic measures to regain
their lost rights.

The Appeal to Reason, the organ Of
the Socialists, asks the Irish Standard
why it did not raise it's voice in behalf
Of Haywood, Meyer and Pettibone
when every influence, both church and
state, was used to crush them and send
them to the gallows." The Irish STAN
dard did raise it's voice at the time,
though our contemporary does not seem
to know it. We are not aware of any
church influence being exerted against
these men. The church may have con-
demned the principles of Socialism, but
never used it's influence to send men to
the falloWs We have reference to the
Catholic Church and no other. The
Appeal cannot name any Catholic &C.
clesiastic who uttered one word against
Haywood. Meyer and Pettibone during
their incarceration and trial at Boise,

Referring to the Irish leaders, the
Standard and Times says: They will
do we'll to remember the case of Lord
Roseberry and the Home Rule cam
paign which he conducted to the gates
of victory, but there stopped because Of
the same old obstructive, stiff necked
lords and the tender regard which he,
as one of the order, felt for their cher
ished privileges. They ought to have
definite pledges from the present min
istry before taking any steps to throw
the Irish vote into the scale. But it is
superfluous to say anything on that
point to men who have had so long

The Adeste Fideles.

The favorite Christmas hymn is the
we'll known Adeste Fideles, which is
sung at the early Mass on Christmas
morning and is an ofrertory piece at
the more solemn services later in the
day. The authorship of the work is
a matter of doubt. 1t has been as
cribed to st. Bonaventure, the great
Franciscan doctor and contemporary
of st. Thomas Aquinas, but no trace
of such hymn is found in St. Bona
ventures works. 1t is probably from
a French or German source.

the Catholic bishops Of Hungary are

DR.. Hedley must have a poor opia-
ion Of the Irish Catholics in England
If he thinks he can dictate to them n
politics and make them vote against
their consciences to please his lord
ship of Newport. In Ireland it is dit
ferent. Prelates and priests are with
the people in the cause of their COM
mon country. They are all Irishmell,
and what the bishops say in politics or
anything else is obeyed with alacrity.
Not so in England where the Catholic
prelates hobnob with the Duke of Nor
folk and his brethren, and have M
Catholic representatives of their own
to advocate their interest in the House
of Commons.
Everyone acquainted with O'Connelrs
life and labors knows his opinion of
the English "Cawtholics" He de-.
nounced them as pack of ingrates
when they opposed repeal of the
union that binds Ireland to England.
They favored government veto of the
appointment of bishops to English and
Irish sees at the beginning of the 10Th
century, and today they are strongly
opposed to Irish government as
promised by Premier Asquith. The
few English Catholics may be in
fuenced by DR.. Hedley and his eccles.
iastical confreres, but as for the Irish
in England and their descendants they
will vote against the lords and Cor

A CHRISTMAS GREETING.

According to a time honored custom,
the Irish Standard wishes all its
patrons Merry Christmas. and do
sres to say few words on the joyous
festival which is celebrated today
throughout the Christian world. The
anniversary of the birth Of Christ, tie
Son Of God and Savior Of mankind
is the gladdest day in the year to all
believers in His divinity. TO members
of the Catholic church it is the day of
all days in the Roman calendar, and
by them 1t will be celebrated with de-
vout hearts in every land from the
rising Of the sun to the going down
thereof The Holy. Sacrifice Of the
Mass will be offered upon a million
affairs with the greatest pomp and
magnihcence. and the most eloquent
are capable will be delivered from a
million pulpits on the Divine Babe O.,
Bethlehem; for the Catholic church,
and 1t alone, is universal in point Of
space as we'll as time. Sweet music
will lend its aid to the most gorgeous
ceremonials and the great temples Of
Catholic worship will resound with
the "Gloria in Excelsis Dec" which
the angels sang in the lowly village
Of Palestine twenty centuries ago.
In the United States Christmas Day
Is now universally observed by all
denominations Of Christians; but tim :
was and not very long ago, when it
was considered "a Romish festival"
which was observed by the Irish and
other adherents Of the Pope Of Rome.
In the New England states Christmas
Day was scoffed at by the Puritans,
ed in it's place. To this day it is not
recognized as legal holiday in Some
Of the commonwealth which consti-
tute the American republic. Even Min
nesota. which was first explored by
Catholics. only indirectly recognizes it
as legal holiday in its statutes by
providing that maturing paper. bills of
exchange, ETC.. falling due on Chris:-
mas Day shall be due and payable on
the business day preceding.
The children of st. Patrick are re-
sponsible In a. pre- eminent degree for
the change of sentiment regarding
Christmas Day among the descend
ants Of the Puritans. The Irish Catho-
lies, like the English Pilgrims, had
been the victims Of religious persecu-
ton in the old land, and on coming
to the New World they brought with
them love Of Christmas Day and
celebrated the anniversary of Christ's
birth in the land of their adoption.
Despite all opposition from bigoted
Americans of English stock they ad-
hered to the celebration Of the dav

BE HoNEsT-PAY YOUR BILLS.

IN this last issue OF the Irish STAN
dard for the year 1909, the publishers
like to have heart-to- heart talk with
delinquent subscribers They have no
desire to ruffle the feelings of any one
or to use any expression calculated to
give the slightest effense to honest
people who have tried to meet their
obligations. What they have to say
is specially addressed to those who
have taken this paper for years and
neglected or failed to pay for it or ex-
plain their action in the premises.
In accordance with the new law of
the U. S. postoffice department, which
went into effect in April, 1908, hun
dreds Of subscribers who owed us for
more than one year were stricken off
the list after being apprised of the
law and importuned to pay up. OF all
these subscribers only small percent
age have paid in spite of the fact that
circulars have been mailed to them
asking them to settle their accounts.
Only few have ever condescended to
acknowledge the receipt of the circu-
lars or offer the slightest explanation
for their delinquency. 1t is to these
people we now speak and not to the
thousands of subscribers who have
promptly Paid their bills from year
to year.
1t pains us to say that many Catho-
lies who go to church regularly, and
who frequent the sacraments, have no
idea Of common honesty. "An honest
man is the noblest work of Cod" ex-
claims the great Catholic poet, Alexan-
der Pope. If an honest man is the
! noblest work of the Almighty, what
can be said of dishonest man who
shirks his obligations? Honesty is the
! basis of the Christian religion, and the
man who thinks he can reach Heaven
| by praying perfunctorily and cheating
| his neighbor is laboring under a ter
rible delusion.
