In the British islands the suffragette
movement Is confined exclusively to
English women, especially those of
London who are the wives and daugh-
tiers Of rich men. The sensible wo-
men Of Scotland, Ireland and Wales
are not clamoring for the ballot. In
this country there are only four states
where women have the right to vote at
all elections. Colorado is one Of them,
and an ex-governor Of it says that
mothers have to be practically
dubbed to the polls in Colorado. The
women of Colorado elected Judge Ben
B. Lindsey of the Juvenile Court Of
Denver last year and showed excel
lent judgment in their choice. The
women Of Minnesota can vote for
school officers, but on election day the
most Of them remain at home. Since
the introduction Of voting machines
in Minneapolis, few women have vot
ed. They do not fancy mingling with
men until their turn at the machine
comes round. It is fair to assume that
the majority of women have no desire
for female suffrage and hence the
day is far off when they shall have the
right to vote throughout the United
States.

Eugene Zimmerman, Of Cincinnati,
the wealthy father Of the Duchess of
Manchester, thinks that the duty of
50 a barrel on Irish mackerel shipped
to the United States should be abolish
ed. The product Of the Irish mackerel
fishery is $4,000 barrels a year, while
this country produces only 10000 bar
rels. OF course, the United States
cannot discriminate against other Eu-
ropean mackerel and let the Irish
n1ackerel come in free. Why not re-
duce the tariff on European mackerel
to one dollar barrel, SO long as this
country produces but small quantity
for consumption? The New England
fishermen, like the New England fac
tory owners are receiving too much
protection at the expense Of the Amer
lean consumers. It is too late now
to talk on the subject.

The new one-cent piece has cut
of Lincoln instead of the head of the
American Indian. Above Lincoln's head
are the words I'm God We Trust"
which Roosevelt did not like. The word
Liberty is back of the neck and
1909" in front. On the reverse side
are the words Zone Cent, United States
of America and at the top is "E
Pluribus Unum." The piece looks more
like medal than a coin. Why Lincoln
was not honored by place on a larger
coin, in either gold or silver, is a
conundrum. The great emancipation
deserved more respect from the party
in power. But it has long since aban-
doned the principles Of Old Abe, and
that may account for the poor tribute
now paid to him.

bmmet, Grattan, Lord Edward Fitz-
gerald, Smith oBrien, John Mitchell
and Parnell were all Protestants and
emphatically Irish; yet If Cabot Lodge
and historical scribblers Of his kidney
were writing Of them he would prob
ably call them Scotch Irish. We have
often wondered where scotch-Ireland
was; and we have concluded it must
be located in Nahant or New Hamp-
shire, in Pennsylvania or Tennessee,
since the annalists of those magma
tive paradises are the only ones able
to locate and snare that man OF buck
ram-the Scotch 1rishman"
The writer Of the foregoing is a
Protestant who is extremely proud
of being Irish. He has made a special
study Of the scotch-Irish and ridiculed
their pretensions to superiority. Some
OF the most prominent Americans in
church and state are proud of their
Irish ancestry and have joined the
American-Irish Historical society with
Theodore Roosevelt who claims to be
half-1rish and half Dutch. The
American-1rish Historical society is
now about ten years old, and during
Its existence has issued several his
torical volumes Of great value. Old
records have been examined and the
truth has been revealed concerning the
services Of the Irish in the establish
ment and development Of the Ameri-
can republic.
The Puritan historians Of New Eng
land, from George Bancroft to John
Fiske and Cabot Lodge, complete
ly ignored the Irish settlers from
racial and religious prejudices;
but the day is at hand when
the Irish will be fairly treated in all
histories of colonial times. The bigot-
ed writer's have had their day, and they
cannot humbug intelligent Americans
any longer. Truth is mighty and will
prevail in the end.

1.-THE greatest religious fact in the
United States today" says Bishop
spalding, lis the Catholic school sys-
tenn, maintained without any aid ex-
cept rrum the people who love it,"
The entire number Of children attend
ing Catholic institutions in the United
States is 1,ss7,s4s, according to the
official Catholic directory. 1t costs
the parents lot Of money to educate
these children at their own expense,
and they are taxed for the support of
public schools without receiving any
benefit from them. A large number Of
Catholic children, however, attend the
public schools, either from choice or
necessity.

is one Of the most patriotic members
Of the hierarchy in Ireland, recently
presided at meeting in Clonmel
which was held under the auspices OF
the Royal Society Of Antiquaries. In
his address Bishop sheehan said, ut
was pathetic to see children knowing
all about Asia and Africa, and quite
ignorant Of what was under their eyes
in their own land" It Is pathetic, in
deed. The Irish children should first
study the geography and history Of
their own country. When Ireland is
self-governing nation the system Of
education now in use will be super
seeded by a real, national Irish sys-
tenn.

The old story of his reconcentrado
work in Cuba Is being ventilated. The

trado tactics in South Africa. Wey-
ler's record is not nearly as cruel as
that of Lord Kitchener. Why should

WHAT WOULD THE IRISH DOT

In the event of war between England
and Germany would the Irish remain
neutral or take sides with either COM
Blatant? The San Francisco Monitor
is of the opinion that the Irish would
not gain anything by aiding Germany,
and editorially says:
Some hysterical folks have cried
out that Ireland would join hands with
Germany-an absurdity. Ireland does
not desire German rule any more than
she loves British rule. She would find
Germany no better than England. Ger
many Is a tyrant with her colonies;
perhaps a diplomatic one, with the
mailed fist rather smoothly gloved,
but tyrant no less. Her oppression
of Poland is enough to prove that.
She has so ground poor Poland down
that the Poles-to quote an expression
which that intrepid patriot, Modjeska,
once used in writing to us about her
country's sufferings-prefer the hug
of the Russian Bear to the hypocrisy
of the knights Of the Cross At the
point Of the bayonet-again we quote
Modje has forced her
language upon the Polish people. even
entering their churches and taking
their Polish prayer books from them.
Where would 1reland's cherished
Gaelic revival be with Germany WELD
ing the whip"
In the first place, there Is no in
dication OF war between Germany and
England. The English people of late
seem to be afraid of q German in
vasion. but there is no foundation for
their fear, whether real or feigned.
Germany could gain nothing by invad-
ing England but would lose by the at
tempt. The German people have been
amused at the causeless trepidation
of the English, for they have never
seriously thought of invasion. British
diplomatists want no trouble with
Germany and would steer clear OF
hostilities with such q powerful an
tagonist.
| So far as the Irish are concerned,
it is difficult to say what they would
and England. If British statesmen
desire the loyal support Of Irishmen
| in war with Germany, the first thing
they would probably do is to grant
Home Rule to Ireland. If Home Rule
was refused the Irish should let Eng
| land fight its own battles. If grant
ed, they would most likely defend their
shores from foreign invasion, as they
did in the days Of the Irish Volunteers
England during the American Revolu-
ton. The Irish would not be likely
to espouse the cause of Germany, if
by so doing they could only have a
| change Of new taskmasters. Robert
Emmett and his compatriots would ac-
cept French aid in the days of Napo-
leon, but on his trial for high treason
the Irish martyr said:
Were the French to assume any
authority inconsistent with the purest
independence, it would be the signal
for their destruction. We sought their
aid-and we sought it as we had as
surance we should obtain it-as auxil-
iaries in war and allies in peace. Were

ITALIAN IMMIGRATION.

Inc Dig stream Of immigration cow
pouring into the United States and
Canada from the boot SHAPED, renin-
sula Of southern Europe is attracting
the attention Of the American press.
The sons Of Italy are not considered
undesirable citizens" in the Roose-
veltian sense, for they are Industrious,
law abiding people, flying from a.
country overwhelmed with taxation
for military purposes and willing to
work at the hardest kind of work
in the development of the natural re-
sources of the new world. Italy, with
an area Of 110,G4e square miles, had
population 6f 32.o45,4o In 1900, and
standing army Of 1,71s,0o5 men. The
working men of italy who toll in the
hot sun at ordinary employment re-
ceive not more than twenty cents
day; in America they will receive ten
times that amount and in a few years
because of their, frugal, economical
habits, they viii hav, saved enough
to be independent. The Italians who
come to America are strong and Wig
orous, their ages ranging from Is to
As years, and during the last four
years no less than 100000 have land
ed on these shores. Tho city of New
York today has more native sons Of
Italy than Of the Emerald Isle, and
they are becoming prominent in the
commercial and political life Of the
metropolis. Those who 60 west are
building the railroads and taking the
place of the Irish Of former. years,
the latter having advanced and taken
higher positions than "hewers of wood
and drawers Of water"
A New York paper says that Can
ada Is now getting her share Of italian
immigration. A new line OF steamers
will ply between Naples snl Montreal
in summer and between Naples and
Portland. Me-. in winter. This is the
first time The italians hyvc gone 30
far north, for, es rule, they have
chosen more southerly region and /
milde- climate. How they will stand
the frigid clims oe the northwest is
yet to be see1. Perhaps many Of
them will return hons to Italy to es-
cape the harshness Of the winter
weather and come back again. Thou
sands of them go to South America
then return for the harvest time at
home. Many Of thc.n, No doubt, will
