such position that his views during
the present campaign will receive no
slight consideration. He is fighting
not for party but for principles. He
believes that the men who have shown
themselves to be true representatives
of the people ought to be returned to
office regardless of the brand of poll
tics they profess, and that those who
have forfeited the trust that has been
reposed in them ought to be removed.
That is the true Democratic spirit,
the spirit which should animate every
campaign. The men who demand
success "all along the line" are not
going to gain the confidence of the
people to the same extent. The fight
is on in earnest and it does not ap-

said Cardinal Vannutelli to the stu

lege in st. Louis. I'm my travels

real respect manifested to the clergy
and to the public celebrations of a
religious character. You ought to be
very proud that you are Americans.
l would encourage you always to be
proud Of your country, country of
such vast extent, such wonderful re-
sources and such greatness. Be
proud that in America you are free to
practice your faith unmolested, and
that this is not like those other lands
in which they have prescribed the
Church and placed limitations to the
duties Of conscience. Cherish tender
ly the thought that you are of Amer
lea and make yourselves true and
worthy Americans. Be true to your
conscience, to your faith, and you will
be truer citizens, serving your coun-
try as only true Christian can do
The more faithful you are to your
religion the more devoted you will be

not only is divorce destroying the
home but it is reducing womanhood
to the lowest degradation. Such are
a few of the Cardinals ideas of the
effects of divorce, gained by his many
years of observation.
Divorce is not known in Ireland and
England today to the extent that it
is known in the United States. The
reason for this, Cardinal Logue points
out. is the difference in the divorce
laws in the two countries. In Eng
land the expense connected with con-
Quoting a suit for divorce costs so
much that only the rich can resort
to the courts for an annullment of
marriage. The result is marriage is
kept on higher level. Men and wom-
en- do not enter the welded state un-
der the impression that they can dis
solve the union whenever they choose.
Here in America We have toler-
ated the divorce evil until it threat
ems to be our undoing. Lax divorce
laws have made the most sacred un-
ion on earth a sham. Trivial and
often ridiculous causes are sufficient
for the legal dissolution of that bond
against the breaking of which our
Divine Lord gave explicit warning.
Nothing is being done to check this
the most threatening of our social
evils. The tide of morality is fast
ebbing in this country. Divorce is
destroying the home, the fundamental
unit or society, and when the home is
no longer safe and manhood and wo-
manhood are degraded by loose NOR.
ais, the state and nation are no longer
secure.
We are hearing much about brib-
cry and frauds practiced by leading
politicians. These things are harm
full but infinitely worse is the alarm
ing increase in legalized vice.
We do not believe in the practical
bility of Catholic political party but
We do think that it is high time that
a countrywide agitation were set on
foot demanding quick change in our
disgraceful divorce laws. Make it a
political issue if need be, but make
it an unmistakable demand for uni
form and rigid laws that will check
our national practice of vice.
AS Catholics We are too self.com-
placent. We know that divorce is a
threatening evil but we are secured
from it's ravages by the protection of
the Church. We should, however,
realize that our duty to our country
requires that we oppose this evil with
all the force We can command.

lot claim to possess a warm spot in

not claim to possess warm spot in
his heart for the dear Old Land.
There is not one of US who would
not like to see conditions there made
better. We all agree in hoping to
see the day when the land of our fore
fathers will be brighter and hap
pier country restored to the rights of
which it has been unjustly deprived.
But silent hoping will not bring about
reforms. We must translate our de-
sires into action. 1t is up to us to do
something.
Up to the present time, so far as
we are aware, no official action has
been taken to arrange for a meeting
of the Irish ENJOYS in these cities.
The Minnesota organization of the
Ancient Order of Hibernians is one
of the strongest organizations in the
United States. 1t ranks high in num-
bers and in doing things. The Hen
nepin County branch of the A. 0. H.
alone is 1000 strong and better Ram
sey county chapter numbers still
more. Here then in small radius
we have approximately 4,50O members
of an Irish society-an absolute proof
that in these cities an entirely sue
cessful meeting could be arranged in
short order for the Irish ENJOYS. The
question then is, are we to take part
in the work of helping the Home Rule
movement or are we going to stand
by in silence while the men who are
here in behalf of the interest of our
Motherhood go to Buffalo, New York,
Boston, Montreal, Chicago, St. Louis,
Omaha, Portland, Winnipeg, Quebec
and to hundreds of other cities of les
ser note in their quest of support?
No, that would not be in accord
with our characteristic spirit. Differ
as we may in particulars, we all be-
lieve in and are willing to support
any movement that will result in the
permanent betterment of conditions
in Ireland. Nor can it be said that
we are ungenerous. If each of us
will donate his mite the fund of the
Irish parliamentary Party will be in
creased by no small amount and not
one of us will be deprived of his daily
allowance by making the sacrifice.
All that is necessary is that the
project be given a start. The people
here are anxious to hear what the
principals in the Home Rule struggle
have to say. The ENJOYS will be in
Chicago in few days. Let us hear
of a movement for arranging a meet
ing.

cese are so pressing that the service
of every available priest is in demand
to minister to the spiritual wants of
the people. Fol-, the present, at least,
none can be spared to carry on the
work of the Diocesan Missionaries
among Catholics and non Catholics
The future, however, gives promise
OF relief; for next year large class
will be ordained to the priesthood in
the st. Paul Seminary, the majority
of whom will labor in the Archdio-
cese. Then the work of the diocesan
missionaries will be resumed with re-
newed vigOr.
Since the st. Paul Apostolate was
established seven years ago it has
grown in Importance as part of an
organized missionary movement in the
Church in America for the spread of
Catholic truth among those who are
not of the household of the faith. The
Apostolic Mission House in Washing
ton is the center and source of this
missionary activity It's purpose is to
train priests to be fit messengers of
the gospel to the mont Catholic world.
To increase the efficiency of those
who have awaited themselves of it's
course of studies, it has inspired the
organization of Mission Bands in
many of the dioceses in America;
and already an abundant harvest of
conversions bears witness to the sue
cess of these efforts to lead souls to
the Fount of Catholic Truth.

ARE WE DlsLoYAL?

Since the convention of the United
Irish League was held in Buffalo a
little more than two weeks ago the
country has been hearing great deal
about the receptions rendered to the
Irish ENJOYS, Messrs. John E. Red
mond, T. P. O'Connor, Joseph Devlin
and Daniel Boyle. The leading maya
zines have taken advantage of the
tremendous interest that has been
awakened in the Irish Home Rule
movement to present to their read
ers the facts concerning the agitation
from the pens of prominent Irishmen.
The broad. deep interest that is being
awakened, the generous financial aid
that is being offered (at the Buffalo
convention alone the sum of $4,000
was pledged) and the lively enthusi-
asm that has characterized the work
of the ENJOYS are reasons for re-
newed hopefulness on the part of the
men who are devoting their lives to
the restoration of Ireland's rights. 1t
Is, indeed, good omen to see that
here in America the justice of Ire.
lands claim has won recognition and
sympathy at time when England is
particularly anxious to be on friendly
terms with the United States. If the
visit of the Irish ENJOYS resulted in
nothing else than in showing to the
world that the sympathy of this
country is with them they would have
added a tremendous impetus to the
Home Rule movement. But as it is
they are doing that and more-they
are not only awakening sympathy, but
they are receiving substantial aid.
But what are we doing-we, the
Irishmen of Minnesota and of Mime
apolis and st. Paul particularly?

Colonel Roosevelt appears to be
making a strenuous effort to popu-
larize political principles that are as
old as the Democratic form of gov
eminent under the caption New Ma
tionalism." 1t is no easy task to for
mulate new political principles. Even
the trainers of the Constitution did
not formulate much that was new.
They took the good features of the
colonial governments and incorpor-
ated them into the new document.
The fact that the trainers of the Con-
stitution were the representatives of
states in which interests differed
widely resulted In many compromises
and these mark practically all the
new features. Mr.. Roosevelt's New
Nationalism" represents nothing that
has not been often preached before
by other men. If the Colonel were
not SO great a man it might be in
ferred that he is endeavoring to make
the New Nationalism" his trade
mark in history.

promoting an "All-For.Nothing'
PARTY.

The conservation of St. Patrick's
Cathedral, New York City, last week
was remarkable event. 1t Is sig
nifcant of the wonderful growth and
power of the Catholic Church in
America, and demonstrates the en-
thusiasm with which Catholics re-
spond to the call for financial aid in
matters which pertain to the wants
of the Church. The presence of three
Cardinals at the ceremonies makes
the event unique in the history of
the Church in the United States. The
solemn and inspiring ceremonies will
be remembered for many years to
come in St. Patrick's parish.

LIMBS ARRANGEMENT.

OF as much Importance as the "key-
note" addresses of the principals in
the gubernatorial contest in this state
was the mastery exposition of the pc.
litical situation both state and ma
tional given by John Lind at Albert
Lea last Tuesday evening. Mr.. Lind's
speech, in view OF the fact that the
speaker is seeking no political pre-.
ferment whatever, may be regarded
as the most significant utterance of
the campaign. It Is a clear, concise
and forceful presentation of the
points at issue and rings true to the
characteristics, not of the man who
lodges the main points lest he might
offend, but of one who has convic.
tons, knows them and expresses
them with utter disregard for the
consequences. Mr.. Lind is not seek
ing Office of any kind. He feels that
he owes it to his state to reveal the
defects that are to be found in the
present administration and his ini-
tial utterance in this campaign bears
out the statement that he is working
solely for the betterment of the state.
1t was said that Mr.. Lind aspired to
seat in the senate but this intima-
ton was disposed of when the speak
er heartily endorsed the policy of
Mr.. Clapp, the present Republican
senator, by saying that If he himself
were in the Senate he would endeav-
or to do what Mr. Clapp is doing,
though he did not think he could do
the work so we'll.
Mr.. Lind criticised Governor Eber-
hart for his silence on vital questions
and places him among the "standpat-
ters." OF Mr.. Gray, the Democratic
nominee, he says, above all, he has
the courage of his convictions and
owes an allegiance to no power on
earth except his own sense of justice
and the obligation of patriotic man
to his country and it's laws. We know
where he stands, and right here is, to
my mind, the most marked difference
between the two candidates. It's the
difference between the progressive
and the standpatter."
On the county option question Mr.
Lind made his position clear. He re-
viewed the objections urged against
the adoption of a county option law
stating that for the most part the
opposition came from the brewers
Against the objections he urged that
the people have right to make their
own laws and that the adoption of a
county option law is the most effec-
tive means of combating the indecent
saloon. "The more / reflect on this
whole subject" said Mr.. Lind, "the
more intensely feel that the people
of this state have right to know
how the candidate of the dominant
party stands on the question of coun.
ty option. It Is no answer to say that
he will sign bill II 1t is laid on his
desk. The people of this state are
not paying the governor $1,000 a year
for his mere autograph"

CARDINAL LoeuE ON DIVORCE

Cardinal Logue, the kindly, charm
ing little man who represented Ire
land at the Eucharistic Congress in
Montreal has tarried in the United
States long enough to take part in
the laying of the corner stone of the
new st. Patrick's cathedral in Phila-
delphia and in the conservation of
the magnificent cathedral of the same
name in New York City. During his
stay in this country the Irish cardinal
has by his delightful manner won the
affection of thousands of people. He
is deeply interested in America and
never tires of expressing his gratitude
for the kindness shown him. He has
many words of praise for Americans
but, though loath to say it, he fears
for our future II an effective fight is
not waged against divorce, the cank-
er worm that is eating away the vi
tails of society.
A deep interest attaches to Car.
dinal Logue's words because his is
not harsh criticism but the warning
of one who is heartily in sympathy
with US. He comes from a country
where divorce is unknown and the
deplorable conditions resulting from
the commercial basis on which mar
riage is placed in this country is so
unusual to him that his mind revolts
at the very idea. He says the laxness
OF our divorce laws is a disgrace to
our country. We have reduced mar
riage to an experiment and left &C.
cess to separation so easy that home
life, in the best sense of the word, is
no longer possible. 1.-The only differ

Mormons and the polygamy of d.

fellow in the land of Evangeline, says
the Denver Catholic Register The
many lovers of that beautiful poem
will rejoice to learn of this tribute to
the man who immortalized the ex-
patriated Acadians. The strange part
of it all is that Longfellow never saw
the land of Evangeline, the material
for the story having been furnished
him by Hawthorne. Happily, this
fact did not prevent his poets soul
from being stirred to it's depths at
the thought of the injustice done
those innocent exiles.

MINNEsorA,s FIRE LOSS.

The northern part of this state has
suffered terrible destruction to life
and property. The forest fires which
swept through the territory laid
waste many miles of timberland and
left those who were fortunate enough
to save their lives completely at the
mercy of the relief trains that were
quickly rushed to the fire zone. Sew
eral towns were completely wiped off
the map and scores of lives were lost
If the destruction wrought in this
instance is traceable to the lack of
necessary funds for protecting the
forests as it seems to be, it is a cost
ly lesson to the people of this state
The fire rangers were withdrawn
from the territory about September
LIST because of the failure of the state
to provide funds for their mantle
nance. In view of the destruction
that forest fires were causing in
Montana, Idaho and other western
states during August and up until
September it would seem that those
in charge would take warning and
make special effort to prevent a
duplication of the destruction here.
The lessons which our Conservation
congresses purport to teach have not
been learned yet.
There is another aspect to the ca
lamity, however, which it is interest
ing to call attention to and that is
the quick response which is given to
appeals for aid in emergencies of this
kind. Special trains bearing supplies,
nurses and food for the sufferers
were on the scene at once. The re-
lief fund in few hours had reached
the thousand dollar mark and is grow
ing rapidly. The realization that
hundreds of the sufferers are desti-
tute has awakened sympathy in every
quarter and everything possible is
being done to alleviate the distress
of the stricken people. Such quick
and generous responses to the call for
aid is a praiseworthy thing. 1t shows
how closely net is the social fabric,
how interdependent We are on one an
other.
The. policy of clipping appropria-
tons which are necessary to insure
the protection of lives and property
ought to receive an effective check
as result of the losses to the state
in the present instance. Nothing is
more absurd than to risk the loss of
millions of dollars in order to save
few thousand. Yet it is done presum-
ably with view to making show
ing in the careful saving of public
money. 1t is time to quit theorizing
about conserving our, resources and
do little practical work along that
line.
