For several weeks the friends of
Prof. Whitfield have been endeavor-

The new organ of Sim Feinism in
Dublin is using all the power at its
command in discrediting John E. Red
mond and his party. 1t Is waging al
incessant warfare against parliament
tary agitation and finds nothing to
commend in the speeches Of Mr.. Red
mond in England. At the next cleo
ton, the Sim Feiners will contest ev-
cry seat in Ireland now occupied by a
Home Ruler. They do not care about
going to parliament themselves, nor
could they get elected if they wanted
to. Their object is to put Nationalist
candidates to expense and elect Tories
in their place. They may think they
are patriotic in fighting the followers
of Redmond, but the leaders who are
creating dissension are suspected OF
being auxiliaries of the Tories for a
consideration. The question arises:
Where will they get their money to
fight the Home Rule candidates? In a
closely contested scat like that of West
Belfast they may d-eAt Joseph Dew

A minister of the gospel of anarchy,
named Rev. George R. Gebauer, de-
livered "a sermon" at Unitarian
church in Duluth last Sunday in laud-
alton of the "martyred socialist" Fran
cisco Ferrer, and denounced the gov
eminent and Catholic priesthood of
Spain as traitors to humanity. The
reverend f1rebrand declared that 1--WE
have no right to brand as traitor
any one who bears the red flag, which
he believes stands for the highest good
of humanity" Gebauer is fond of US
ing the word humanity" though he
appears to have the instincts of a
hyena. What does he think of Parsons
and the other Chicago anarchists who
carried the red flag and threw bombs
at the guardians of law and order?

of the field. Their property has been
considerably enhanced in the course OF
centuries, not by any expenditure for
improvements, but the growth and de-
velopment of the community. The
whole matter has been lucidly explain
ed by Lloyd-George in his speeches to
the plain people of England. and the
Judge Advocate of Scotland in his
speech at Belfast, given on the first
page of today's Irish Standard. shows
that there is nothing socialistic in the
new scheme of taxation. The English
landlords have the Irish, the Scotch and
the Welsh arrayed against them as we'll
as the democracy of England, and be-
fore the question Of taxation is settled
they must recognize the justice of con-
tributing to the imperial exchequer and
pay the principal part Of the taxes on
the principle that ito whom much is
given, of them much will be required"
If they persist in their obstinacy the
veto power Of the Lords will be taken
from them and the House of Peers may
be abolished. The Lords see the hand
writing on the wall. The lands they
own by conf1scation belong to the peo-
pie and the day is not far distant when
by some constitutional movement they
must give up their ill-gotten possess
sions for the use of the people. They
have emasculated the Irish land bill
to such degree that Secretary Birrell
rejected it the other day and as con-
sequence the Irish farmers who want
to buy from their landlords will be apt
to create disturbance in Ireland during
the coming winter. Landlordism IN the
British islands, but especially in Ire
land, must be destroyed, root and
branch.

Our friend Martin I. j. Griffin, the
biographer of Commodore John Barry,
and the editor of the American Cath
Ollie Historical Researches, is kept busy
nowadays in correcting the misstate-
ments of so-called historians who
claim too much for Catholics in the
part played by them in Revolutionary
days. The New England historians
did not give Catholics sufficient recog-
milton in the cause of liberty and
Catholic writer's are now giving them
too much. Mr.. Griffin wants them to
have all the credit to which they are
entitled-no more, no less. According
to their numbers, Catholics at all times
have done their duty to the republic.
A Catholic country rendered signal
service at critical period of the
Revolutionary war. and without its aid,
perhaps, Washington and his compa-
triots may have failed to drive the red
coats forever from our shores. Mr..
Griffin makes a special study of his
tory and has access to the archives
What he says Is not colored. He simp-
ly states facts according to the record.

A METHODIST BISHOP
Speaks Kind Words of Catholics in a
Sermon.

In a sermon at the old North church,
Boston, Mass, a short time before his
death, Bishop Foster, of the M. E.
church, said:
II have a great deal of respect for
Roman Catholics and the Roman Cath
Ole church, and the feeling becomes
stronger as I grow older 1 do not
think we can afford to criticise Catho-
lies until we display at least equal zeal
in the service of the Master. Who are
they whose feet go Gathering by our
houses these cold winter mornings
Who are they who fill their churches
to worship God when we are in our
beds? Who throng the streets with
reverent faces, with prayer book in
hand, aye, and perhaps with as rev.
erent heart as any of you bear?
"They are Jealous, faithful Catho-
lies, who believe in the truth of their
church and feel that through it alone
they can worship God, whom they
fear and love. To what church do these
self sacrificing communities belong,
that toll from morning until night for
the good of Gods people? Who are
these who come here from foreign
lands, poor and strange, with nothing
but a spade, and have erected tenn
pies of worship that put US to shame
Isn't it the Woodworking man and the
poor servant girl, who lay 1.-THE of
their earnings on the altar Of God, sim
cere in their belief, and will they not
find favor in Gods eyes?
There was a paragraph in the
Christian Advocate the other day which
made me blush when 1 read it. It
stated that in New York city the Cath
olics have church property Of more
than s11,O00,Oo0, greater sum than
the value of all other church proper
ty, except that owned by the Episcopal
church.
"These Catholics are the people who
fill their churches every Sunday with
three or four different congregations.
These are the people who sixty years
ago had but three churches in New
York, and are now filling all our Pro-
testant cities and towns. What right
have we to complain that this is so?
Why should we abuse them because
their churches crown the noblest emin-
ences Of the land?. Let US possess our
selves of those virtues and qualities
which they have in a stronger degree
than we, and those added to what we
already possess may put us in a posi-
ton when we have a right to criticise
their actions"

Senator Aldrich of Little Rhody"
has come out Of the East to enlighten
the West on the financial question. He
does not enlighten the West very much
on his currency scheme. He is play
ing possum. In his Boston speech,
President Taft said that Aldrich hal
fine central bank plan, but in his
address in Chicago the Rhode Islander
said he had no plan at all! Aldrich
never takes the people into his con-
f1dence, for they are suspicious of him.
