SCIENCE AND DISEASE.

The searching power of science is
enabling. the medical profession to de-
tect and diagnose disease in its earliest
stages. Not many years since there
was no means of detecting consump-
ton until the disease had spread over
the lungs to such an extent that 1t
was incurable. In London recently an
apparatus was invented by which the
Roentgen rays may be used to detect
tuberculosis Of the lungs in its incfp-
iency. The examination may be made
with such moderate effort and the re-
suits are so accurate that all lung dis
eases coming into Grey's hospital are
examined in this way.
The patient is placed in his position
and the room is then completely dark
ened. After the eyes of the examiner
get used to the darkness the current
Is turned on and the bones and It's

Nothing has done more for the ad-
vancement of the Home Rule move
ment for Ireland than the information
which has demonstrated to the world
the justice Of lrelands demand. Those
who do not know why Ireland should
have Home Rule are either opposed to
the movement or Indifferent in their
attitude. The question has for many
years engaged the attention not only
of Irish and English statesmen, but it
has aroused the attention of nearly
every country in the world. And
wherever the Justice of Ireland's
claims has been presented, sympathy
for her in her struggle for emancipa
ton has invariably resulted. AS the
world understands more fully the Irish
question the chances Of an early and
favorable solution grow better.

enter the service of the Church to do
so. No professional man is as poorly
paid as the Catholic priest.
But religion is not commercial
commodity and the man who receives
$4,000 per year for filing pulpit is
not half as likely to be so devoted
to his work as the man who receives
barely enough to feed and clothe him.

who might be attracted by the posi-
bilities of accommodating a fortune are
not going to enter the ministry when
only bare living wage is offered.
The service of God is. its own re-
ward. Those who are given that sa-
cred vocation can do their work best
when they are freest from all world
ly entanglements. Many Of the saints
of the Church devoted themselves
completely to religion and our divine
Lord Himself knew not luxury during
his mission in this world. Hence it
Is that the ministers of the Catholic
Church have never received more than

RoosEvELT's TOUR,

The country had to wait long time
to hear what Theodore Roosevelt had
to say on the public questions that
are perplexing the leaders of the par
ty which he turned over to the man
whose worth he seemed not to doubt
when the campaign was on two years
ago this fall. And now that he has
spoken he has not wholly satisfied
either faction of the Republican par
ty. He has taken neutral position
and advocated and commended good
craftsmanship in general more than
a specific way. He has indicated his
preference to be called a progressive
rather than an insurgent,
Generally there is not much in a
name but In this particular case there
Is enough difference between the two
terms to give both elements of the
party hope. An insurgent, it is true,
may be a progressive but the whole
party would like to be known as a
progressive party So that, so far as
the Colonel is concerned, the term he
has chosen to be. called by does not
permit either the insurgents or the
standpatters to claim him for their
own.
The enthusiasm which has charac-
terized the meetings which Mr.. Roose-
welt has attended shows that his pop
ularity has not suffered on account of
absence from the political arena. His
occasional ), favoring of members be-
longing to the opposing wings of the
party is perhaps, the secret of % his
popularity with the people.
During his trip Mr.. Roosevelt has
heard his name mentioned frequently
in connection with the next presiden-
tial, campaign. Ne doubt the. mention
of the possibility has afforded. the >ex-

not to receive the out-and-out appro-
val Of the man who has been the par
tvs chief adviser for so long. Wheth-
er he is aiming at his own political
advancement or merely unselfshly
working for the betterment of the
country is question. At any rate
he makes frequent illusions to his
methods when in office.

EDUcATlON.

The word educate" means a lead
ing out of the mental faculties. 1t is
that kind of development which en-
ables us to appreciate the beauties of
the world around us. And true edu-
cation awakens not only love for the
beautiful and good but it inspires in
addition a horror for all that is base
and mean. 1t places before the nina
for admiration the infinite perfection
of God Himself, and in admiring, the
mind unconsciously aspircs to be like
unto that which it admires. It is only
. true Christian education which will
have such an effect on. the mind for it

1t is rumored that the interview of
King Alfonso with M. BRAND regard
ing the relations between Spain and
the Vatican has been the cause of
shaking the confidence of Spanish
Catholics in the royal family. AS a
consequence the Carlists are receiving
more sympathy than ever. AS has been
the case ever since the controversy
started, the true reports Of the de-
velopments are suppressed by the
Government. Even Catholic papers in
Spain are not permitted to give free
utterance to their feelings. Catholic
editors who publish statements hostile
to the Canalejas ministry are prosecut-
ed by the Government. In the mean
time the anti-clerical papers are incit-
ing the lower classes to do away with
the clergy entirely.

SALARIES OF MINISTER'S.

According to a Government bulletin
recently issued there were 164,S20
Christian ministers in the United
States in 1906. The average salary
which they receive for their services
is 1858 per year. In New York and
Brooklyn there are many ministers
who receive $4,000 per year for their
services. But this is by no means
the maximum. In New York alone
several ministers are paid as high as
$4,000 and $4,000 per year. These
are the highest salaries that are paid
to ministers in any country in the
world. The highest average salary
paid by any denomination is that paid
to Presbyterian ministers in cities Of
100000 population and over. 1t is
$2,450 per year. The Congregational
and Reformed churches come next
with an average salary of 1898. The
Methodist, Baptist and Jewish
churches follow in order named and
lastly comes the Catholic Church. pay
Ing Its ministers an average salary of
1854.
For the Catholic priest his religion
is everything. He takes the vow of

John T. Casey Of Seattle Files 70,

John T. Casey Of Seattle Files for
Judge Of the Superior Court.
John T. Casey, who is candidate
for the nomination as judge of the
Superior Court of Seattle, WASH, is
we'll known to many readers of the
Irish Standard. He was born in Wis
consln and secured the degree of LII. B.
upon his graduation from the law de-
partment of the University Of that
state in 1896. The following year he
went west and took up the practice of
law at Anaconda, Mont, where he con-
tinued until 1901, when Seattle be-
came his home.
The Irish Standard knows Mr.. Casey
to be in every way competent and
worthy Of the Office which he seeks. He
is in many ways typical of the strong
and sturdy Irish character in this
country. His father and mother, who
are now living with him in Seattle
were both born in Ireland and had a
remarkable family of sixteen children,
fourteen of whom have grown to ma
turity. One of Mr.. Casey's brothers
was ordained priest six years ago
and two others hope to be ordained
within the next two years by Arch
bishop Ireland at St. Paul seminary
where they have been attending COL
lege for a number of years past. If a
keen sense of propriety and Justice, al
ways tempered with that kindness and
mercy which goes with a large heart
and absolute integrity and honesty, is
what the people of Seattle and King
county want in their judicial officers
they can certainly do no better than
nominate and elect John T. Casey as
one of their Superior Court judges.

National Pride.

The Westminster Gazette" which is
the nearest political organ to the Lib
eral Government, has this to say on
Pride of Nationality:
IF Irish, Scotch, and Welsh choose
to take pride in their nationality
!. e., in the history, traditions and SEN
timent which they have each in COM
mon, why should we grudge it them,
or commit the folly of perpetually sug-
costing that it is incompatible with
good citizenship of the United King
dom or the Empire?
The Englishman's passion for flat
ironing everything out to his own pat
tern is the main source of friction
between Celt and Saxon. and is in no
respect more irritating than this un-
meaning pretense that the words
Welsh, Scotch and Irish have merely
an antiquarian significance.
r No one can travel through Germany
without feeling that one of the main
sources of its strength Is the variety
of its types Of culture and civiliza-
ton. And yet if Scotchman or an
Irishman puts in plea for his ma
tionality. he is heavily rebuked as the
dupe of a phrase or roundly rated for
a rebel and a separatist.
We believe the solution of this prob
lem to be one of the main questions of
the future, and a more eminent ques-
ton than some people realize at this
moment"

pervious to light, the surface of the
lungs becomes more distinctly visible.
Now if any portion of the affected or
gan fails to brighten evenly with the
rest it is evident that a defect is
present in that portion. This is che
first indication of consumption.
Speaking of the possibilities of the
new method one of the physicians
who have made use of it says:
while we do not claim that the
x-rays do away with all need for the
physicians ordinary means of detect
ing consumption, we have leadnel
from thousands of cases we have en-
amined in this way that the x-rays
never fail to point out the diseased
area, as demonstrated by older elm
ical methods. More than this, in many
cases where the disease can only be
suspected by the older methods Of
diagnosis. we have been able to show
undoubted proofs of abnormal and
therefore diseased conditions in the
lungs"
In the past consumption has been
classed among the incurab BILE diseases.
Perhaps the chief reason why it re-
sisted treatment was the fact that it's
presence could not be detected until
1t had reached an advanced stage.
With the present method of detecting
the disease before the lungs are In
serious danger and the knowledge
that we now have of treating pa
tients suffering from it, the ravages
of the white plague should be ma
terially lessened in the future.
