Robert Emmett. Dying Speech.

In letter to the Standard and Times
of Philadelphia, Martin I. ]. Grihln, the
we'll known author and researcher,
thus gives the following facts concern
ing Robert Emmet's dying speech:
It may be of interest to the Phila.
delphia admirers of Robert Emmet to
know that his celebrated speech was
first correctly printed in Philadelphia.
The British government had given out
version entirely spurious. A por-
ton Of this was published in The Au-
The Irish standard., 1910-03-19

rora of this city. On July "a, 1904,
that paper published the correct ver-
sion. The Aurora said "the British
government had taken perfidious pains
to prevent the publication of Mr.. EN-
NETS real speech and tortured the
sentiments of their victim into mean
ings and assertions the most remote
from his character and wishes" In
giving the correct version, which it
had received from friend" it urged
comparison with the spurious and
bid it's readers compare "the govern
ment by which it was done with the
most abhorred that has existed or now
exists" The speech could not be
printed in Ireland, for, said The Au-
rora, "the Irish papers are as mute
as the inmates ofsa Turkish sergalio"
The speech was also published as a
"broadside"-a large folio sheet for
framing. It was published by B. H.
Rand, Sc South Sixth street, with an
engraved heading and allegorical Wig
nette and memorial monument and
figure of Death stabbing Robert En-
met The vignette was engraved by
o. A. Lawson, after j. j. Barrelet. The
lettering was engraved by r. Tiler. 1t
is thus specimen of early American
engraving. 7 have a cow of this rare
issue of the speech. The Aurora of
August II, 1904, has tribute to the
memory of Emmett republished from
the Alexandria (Va.) Expositor.

THE QUESTION OF
PURER POLITICS
Eliminate From Office Both
the Tirne-Server and
Panderer
To Prejudice, Says Arch
bishop O'Connell of
Boston,
In An Address Before the
Federation of Catholic
Societies.

of the time server and the oily pan
derer to prejudice" the insincere cam
didate who cries race and religion, and
the politician who breaches one doc
trine before election and another aft
er securing Office, was predicted last
Sunday by Archbishop O'Connen in an
address at the annual convention Of
the Archdiocesan Federation of Cath
olic Societies in the Cathedral confer
ence room, says the Boston Herald.
| This purifying Of politics, declared
the archbishop, would be accomplished
by the Catholic Federation, which now
numbers $4,000 Catholic adults in the
archdiocese. Results along this line
in the next few years, he said, certain
ly before it is time to elect another
mayor for Boston, would be such that
all citizens would bless the efforts of
the Federation. ...
He said that the Federation would
make the general public realize that
we prefer a good, just, honest, square
dealing public official who is not of
our race or creed to any one, no mat
| ter how Irish his name or how Cath
| olic his lineage, who by his acts Of
| weak compromising with purely po-
| litical chicanery proves himself un-
worthy Of confidence"
He also warned the Federation
members against letting false claims
of wealth or assumed aristocracy af-
feet their determination to value every
man by his own worth. Of the dam
ger to faith which lies in the glamor
and false standards of wealth he spoke
| in vigorous terms. ...
1.-THE Federation will enable the
| whole public to see where the Cath
olic body stands in civic affairs" the
archbishop said. "It will eliminate
forever from public Office the man
who breaches one doctrine before elec-
| ton and another after the voters he
has cajoled have honored him with a
post he never deserved"
1--WE want no machine tactics. We
must stand out in the open. We are
no party-we never will be party.
We have no antagonism to party, but
Federation must be true man, faith
full to Christian ideals and principles,
and an honest, high minded citizen.
"Wealth is the biggest coward in
all the world when met by such stand
ards. Only a few days ago a great
merchant announced that most of it
was acquired by open robbery. We all
knew that before, but it is interesting
to learn it from the lips of one who
admits that he has been guilty him.
self.
'If dress and the shoddy ideals of
new wealth are to corrupt the faith
and morals of our people-if foolish
pride and a silly vanity are to sap
the foundation laid deep and broad
by a race which through centuries of
splendid history met every privation
with joy rather than take the loaf
which meant DISQUALIFICATION we must
make it one solemn duty to cry from
the l1ousetops that with all their ex-
ternal and fancied progress they have
only deteriorated; that their gain is
really loss and that far from standing
forth as representing us in their
the man in the ditch and the girl at
the loom."

PENOLOGISTS SAY FAREWELL
Address by New President Ends
World Prison Congress.
Sir RuggIes-Brise, of England, En-

With farewell address by the retir-
ing president, Prof. Charles r. Hender-
son, Of Chicago, and an Inaugural ad-
dress" by Sir Evelyn Ruggles-BTise. OF
Great Britain. the eighth annual inter
national prison congress came to a close
yesterday morning.
After felicitating the congress on hav-
ing a truly worldwide representation
since China and Japan have sent dele
gates, DR.. Henderson declared the most
important result of the convention was
that it eliminated all previous antago-
nism between science and practice
Needless severity, cruelty, and unnec-
essary suffering have passed out of the
criminal codes OF the civilized world. "
said Sir Evelyn Ruggles- Brise, the newly
elected president. IF. then, il may be
assumed that penal codes are no longer
cruel. and that prison administration in
all countries is well ordered and humane
what is the role left to the international
prison congress?
1T is, first. to limit BY preventive
measures the field OF operation of the
criminal law. Secondly, when it is neces-
sary for the law TO strike. II should rot
srilA blindly, but the penalty should be
adjusted, as far as practicable. to the
particular circumstances OF each individ-
ual case. Thirdly. that where il has
struck. and perhaps hard. there should be

DEDICATION FOR
SCHOOL DELAYED
Inability to Secure Lighting
Fixtures Is Assigned as
the Reason.
HELD DURING THE FESTIVAL
INSTEAD OF THE OPENING OF
THE ANNUAL ART EXHi6iT, AS
WAS PLANNED SCHOOL oP-
EMS ON SEPT. 18TH.

Owing toa delay in the n1anufact-
ure OF the lighting fixtures for the
new high school, it is probable that
the dedication of the new building
will b epostponed until educational
day of the third annual Fall Festival.
1t also is probable another date will
be selected for the opening of the
annual art exhibit Of the Richmond
Art association.
The firm which has the contract to
supply the school with electric light
ing fixtures has notified the school
board it is SO far behind in its orders
that 1t cannot supply the local fix
lures as soon as anticipated. The con-
Germ has no fixtures in stock and it
has not started on the manufacture
of those for the local high school.
Inasmuch as it is impossible to dedi-
cate the school at a night meeting
without the fixtures being first in
stalled the school board will post
pone the date Of dedication from Sep
TENDER % to a date to be announced
later. AS the Fall Festival associa-
ton has asked to have the dedica-
ton during the Wayne county centen-
NAL celebration, it now appears as
though 1t would be accommodated.
However, no formal action has been
taken by the school board as it still
hopes to dedicate the school building
on September IS, although it does
not see it's way clear to do now. The
art exhibit was to have been opened
in the new art gallery on September
10. Unless the building is equipped
with the lighting facilities it will Ne
cessitate. a postponement.
School will open on Monday, Sep
TENDER 10th as planned. The absence
Of lighting fixtures will not interfere
in any way.

annexation
S. S. Imp. Association Does
Not Want Bea!IvieW a
Part of the City.
HOLD Meeting THURSDAY

Resolutions will probably be adopt
ed against the annexation of BeaH-
view to the city at the meeting of
the South Side Improvement associa-
ton to be held Thursday night. Presi-
dent Adolph Blickwedel states he does
not believe there is a single member
of the association favoring the an
nexation.
Tonight is the regular meeting OF
the South Side improvement associa'
ton, but because of the Labor Day
picnic held Monday in Beallview park.
the meeting was postponed until on
Thursday.
Probably some important matters
will come up at the meeting besides
the annexation question. There Will
be some action taken regarding the
proposition to build a bridge across
the Whitewater river. south OF the
Main street bridge. which is one OF
the pet measures of the associatio.
The county commissioners and other
officials are said to oppose the bridge
proposition because they claim 1t is
not a necessary and even If necessary
it is said, to be impractical and would
cost more than $4,000. To put a
bridge across the river valley at the
place wished by the South Side would
mean the construction of one OF the
longest structures in Indiana.
The National Automatic Tool
Works, in which the association is
heavily interested. is now over six
months behind in it's orders because OF
tremendous business and also the
failure to get castings promptly. There
are forty-fve men employed there at
the present time but before the first
Of the year the force will be increased
to about hundred workmen.
Thepicnic held in Bellview was
great success and attended by more
than 600 members of the association
and their families.
