Ambassador karsns.

On the third page Of the Advance"
we publish an illustrated description
of Col. r. c. Kerens, our new ambas-
sador to Austria Hungary, says our
esteemed contemporary of Wichita,
Kansas. We had some fear that he
would be side-tracked by certain poll
teal enemies as he was when the sena-
torship of Missouri was his by every
right. President Taft showed his love
for fair play when he ignored the
pharasaical detractors and recognized
the thirty years Of unselfish service
which Col. Kerens gave to the party
which elected him to the presidency.
In all that time Col. Kerens held no
Office in the gift of the country, nor
did he ever seek any public recogni-
ton. He was satisfied to play the game
of politics for the pleasure it gave him
to see deserving men placed where he
thought the people would be benefited.
Col. Kerens did not restrict his busy
life to politics. Being very wealthy
and his wealth was gained honestly and
by intelligent care Of his resources
his life was busy one, yet he never
permitted his worldly interests to in
terfere with the practice of his re-
ligion. Without ostentation, he was
| charitable and generous, as many who
know him intimately can vouch. Be-
fore the public, even in the stormy
times of political disputes his bitter
est enemy could not find single flaw
in his moral character. He was and
is a sincere Catholic and lived up,
| under all circumstances, to the teach
ings Of his church. God has blessed
him with ample means and with splen-
did health, two gifts most frequently
prayed for. Add to these a distinguish
| ed presence, a frank and affable dis
position and mind well stored with
knowledge which study and a contin-
,lous intimate association with the
greatest diplomats of our country has
/ impaired to it. Altogether Col. Kerens
will make splendid ambassador and
he will feel perfectly at home at the
brilliant court of Austria Hungary.

Hence, every Healyite and O'Brien-
ite is opposed to Hazleton, the brilliant
young member of the Irish party
chosen to fight Healy. Though the
fight will be bitter, Healy's defeat is
almost certain. Similarly in the south
of Ireland every O'Brienite is fighting
for life. 80
O'Brien has announced his return to
Ireland next week after several months
retirement on the continent. O'Brien
will fight in Cork city with Maurice
Healy against the two strong candi-
dates put forward by the Irish party
and he threatens to fight in three or
four more constituencies. This will
cost money and some ugly scenes, but
O'Brien will be beaten.
There will be an interesting fight in
Derry city, where Jack Leslie, first
cousin of Winston Churchill, child of
an old Protestant and Tory family,
and now a Nationalist and Catholic,
fights in one of the last strongholds Of
the Orange party. Derry city may be
won. South Dublin, just vacated by
Walter Long, will certainly be won,
and thus the Irish party will return
with one, certainly, and probably two
victories, added to the eighty-one seats
now held in Ireland.
The generous response of my mis-
sion IN America has had three of the
most important and prompt results in
Ireland. The first is the ability of the
Irish party to face a general election
with ample funds; secondly, a deter
mined campaign to extirpate faction:
thirdly, an immediate increase in the
subscriptions to the party in Ireland
itself.
Large subscriptions, with letters of
warm commendation of the party, es-
pecially from bishops and priests, are
pouring in from every town and viii
lage, and now, for the first time in
the history Of the last thirty years,
Irish America has transformed the
situation from uncertainty, division
and disbursement to energy, hope
and q resolve to have perfect unity In
the Irish ranks q,
Finally, everybody ptsssthe fac,
that the Tories are in sorrow and the
Irish in joy; that a home rule meas
ure will be proposed Immediately aft
er the passage of the act of parlia-
ment curtailing the powers of the
lords, and then will be carried with
or without the Tory lords. 1t is, all
around, a splendid situation.

E,r. Janssen's "Coutumes des Arabex
an Pays de Moab" shows by dint Of
homely illustration that the desert life
OF today is Identical with that of the
Patriarchs. The author has lived among
those OF whom he writes, worn their
Clothing of camel's hair, eaten Of the
locust, slipped their coffee, and chatted
with them in their own tongue as no
sat beside them on the ground with
his legs crossed tailor fashion, and
listened to their endless tales of Allah's
greatness and the Solomon like wisdom
OF some departed sheikh. His work is
SO original that he received q hiRh pre-
MUM for it from a bench Of French
judges last June. This was but small
recognition. Perhaps the most glowing
tribute to FIR. Janssen's competency ,is

A Wonderful Clock.

A wonderful clock has been
invented by al Englishman,
consisting virtually of a small
battery and five wheels. 1t will
run three years without a parti-
Gle of attention and at the end
of that time all that required is
to attach a new battery. An
other English clock allows the
possessor to ascertain at a glance
the time, the meridian and rel
alive position of every part of
the Empire, !besides being able
to witness the actual speed and
direction of the worlds rotation.
The motive power is clock in
the base of a stand and the APP
paratus requires winding only
once each week.
