OUR OWN FOLKS.

AS we edge our way through this
crowded world we meet many people.
Most of them We pass without salut-
ing, for they are strangers to us; a
few We formally recognize; fewer
still we stop to speak to-they are
our friends, and of these there are a
few, generally very few, whom we
take into our confidence and trust as
our own. We are always glad to be
in their company, ready to laugh at
their little weaknesses and praise
their virtues. In hundred different
things we find their ideas and our
own corresponding and whenever
there is a difference between their
opinions and ours we take it as an
indication that we still retain our in
dividuality and the difference is for
gotten With them we can have our
best enjoyment for the stiffness OF
formality is forgotten and we are
ready to laugh at the follies and
foibles of our fellows and sometimes
even at our own. Around the fire.
side we delight to unfold our hearts
to. them and are glad that they in
turn take like liberties with us.
Our truest friends do not belong to
any particular race or class. They
need not be majestic souls. They
are those whose characters just dove
tail with our own. They are drawn
to us and we to them by some such
law as governs the attraction of the
magnet for certain metals. They
need not be our relatives; often the
latter bore us, but somewhere, some
how we are attracted to them and
once we gain their comLa any we are
loath to see them CO.
We do not have many such friends
and when one of them drops out of
our sphere of activity we feel that
there is something lacking, our life
seems incomplete. We have no one
to confer with in trouble, no one
from whom to expect the sympathy
that consoles. 1t is blessing to
have such friends for In their COM
pany we have the closest substitute
for the family circle at home.

CARDINAL VANNUTElLl

Cardinal Vincenzo Vannutelli, the
Papal Delegate to the Eucharistic
Congress at Montreal, has taken his
departure from our shores and al
though scarcely two months passed
since his arrival in America his de-
parture leaves void among us. On
his trip through the United States
Cardinal Vannutelli created the most
favorable impression. Catholics and
mont Catholics greeted him with the
, same warmth and enthusiasm. 1t was
this kindly treatment on the part Of
all that caused his Eminence to ex-
press repeatedly the love and graft
tude he bore for the American people,
, During his tour of the United
: States Cardinal Vannutelli had occa-
sion to notice the vigorous condition
of the Catholic church in this coun-
try The event that brought him to
America, the Eucharistic Congress,
was as convincing a demonstration
of genuine Catholic faith as any that
could be witnessed in the strongholds
of Catholicity in the Old World; prac-
tically the last event in which he par
ticipated, the conservation of st. Pat
final testimony to the activity of the
Church which should dispel all doubt
from his mind as to the glorious fu-
ture which is predestined for it in
America.
That Cardinal Vannutelli was deeply
impressed by the kindness shown him
during his stay in this country is
shown by the kind words he had to
say on the occasion of his departure.
In part he said

THE COMING STRUGGLE.

fdflldinenC VIII meet the H1teentn
Of next month and the struggle for
Home Rule will then be resumed in
earnest The Nationalists will again
! enter the battle equipped in every
detail but bearing no flag of truce.
Not for many years has the Irish
cause stood in such a critical con-
dition and not for many years has
the hope of victory been based on
such a logical foundation Conditions
are favorable within and without and
there seems to be no reason for rest
| lessness or fear. Factionism is at
low tide in Ireland The Irish Party
is the party of the people and behind
it the people will stand in the coming
! struggle. On the other hand, the Tor
les are showing signs of weakness
There is dssension among them on
many policies, all of which is to the
advantage of the Irish Nationalists.
Democracy in England is growing
more vigorous and there is little dan
ger that the Liberals will alter their
position on the Veto of the House of
Lords. This means further hope for
the Irish cause. But the reason which
has the greatest force of all is derived
| from the splendid success which the
! Irish ENJOYS are meeting with in this
country. In Buffalo, New York City,
Boston, Chcago-everywhe they go
the representatives of Ireland are
receiving the heartiest encourage
ment. The funds that are pouring in
are surprising the highest expecta-
tons. And surely nothing could be
more reassuring to the leaders in the
; struggle for Home Rule than to know
that Irish America commends their
past efforts, has absolute confidence
in them. and is with them heart and
, soul in the crisis which they are now
facing. This enthusiastic support on
the part of Irish American will serve
to knit the people of Ireland together
into an even more compact unit, and
when an election comes the result
will be for the good of the Nationalist
Party.
There is another consideration
which brightens the hope of the Irish
party in the coming struggle: The
war chest is we'll filled. The contri-
buttons received from America have
gone far toward swelling the available
fund for the work that is to be done
now.
The world is interested in the COM
ing parliamentary struggle. 1t is a
contest of right against an old and
unjust institution which an enlighten-
ed people will not tolerate much long

the Home Rule movement.

the Home Rule movement.
In his speech MI. Redmond pointed
out three ways in which money must
be expended in the coming fight. In
the first place, he declared that money
is needed for the maintenance of the
central organization that takes charge
of every department Of the govern
! ment in compelling it to enforce acts
for tie betterment of conditions in
Ireland. Then money is needed to
support the members of Parliament
from the Irish Party as the English
government provides no remuneration
for members of Parliament. And,
finally, there is the cost of the gem
eral elections which must be borne by
that the last general election in Ire
land cost $4,000, but that from pres
ent indications, the next election will
cost three times that amount, owing
to the fact that conspiracy is being
put on foot by the enemies Of Home
Rule to contest all Irish elections with
the hope of bankrupting the Irish
Party. The last election, he declared,
was paid for by American money and
he is hopeful that America will stand
by the party in the coming contest.
About the success of the mission in
America there is no longer any doubt.
ceived from all quarters and the en-
voys are now assured of returning to
their work with guarantee of finan-
cial backing that will materially
strengthen their cause.

MEETING AT THE AUDITORIUM.

The mass meeting which is to be
held at the Auditorium on Saturday
evening of this week will in one re-
spect be the most important political
meeting Of the year for the Demo-
cratic party in this state That meet
ing will determine what the sentiment
of the voters in Hennepin county is
and what the sentiment is here will
the whole state. Up to the present
time the men who have been engaged
in campaign work have met with en-
cellent success. Mr. Gray and En-
Governor Lind in particular have at
i tracted large audiences. They have
created IL wave of enthusiasm which
is following in their course. That wave
is due to strike Minneapolis Saturday
night and the result will be a rousing
meeting of the voters of the city
The campaign presents but one is
sue this fall which is attracting seri-
GUS attention. That question is shall
! the county be the unit which will deal
with the matter of liscensing the sa-
looms? The AntiSaloon League has
already thrown it's support to the
Democratic nominee. The attitude of
he voters throughout the state is
favorable. Mr.. Gray has gained i'm
mensely by his clear statement of
his position. His opponent on the
other hand has taken IL passive at
titudc and he is further handicapped
in having for chairman of the Re-
publican state central committee a
man who is allied with the brewing
interests.
Since his address at Albert Lea on
October 18th, Mr.. Lind has been doing
some very effective work Throughout
the state. His Albert Lea speech was
published in full by the daily papers
of the Twin Cities and has been read
by thousands of voters who We're ill.,
terested in his views. The audiences
he has addressed have heartily en-
dorsed the stand taken by him.
At the meeting on Saturday night
local politics will be dealt with by
Mayor James C. Haynes and Thomas
p. Dryer. Frank Coulter OF Portland,
Oregon, will speak ON the initiative
and referendum. The state issues
will be dealt with by Mr. james Gray
and Ex-Governor Lind.
The meeting next Saturday night
ought to bring out thousands of vot-
ers from both parties. 1t will be the
first political gathering addressed by
either Mr. Lind or Mr.. Gray in the
present campaign. Both speakers
should be at their best.
Early in the campaign the support

exclaim about the good fortune of

The only way divorce can be Sc.
cured in Canada is by an act of the
Canadian national parliament, says
the Catholic Messenger Davenport
Ia.) 1t is stated that the average d.
vorce application before the senate
costs from $500 to $1,000, and this is
a good deal more than the aggrieved
husband or wife can ordinarily afford
Notice OF the application has to be
published six months prior to the
presentation of the evidence before
parliament. All witnesses have to
be brought to Ottawa, Ontario, the
Canadian national capital, and when
brought from the prairie provinces,
the expense, naturally, is appalling.

The general convention of the
Protestant Episcopal church held at

the stability of changing the name
to the Holy Catholic church. The
proposal was lost by one vote 1t is
to be hoped that the Episcopal church

now hears or il ii is determined to
change, will select one which will not
confuse it with the real Catholic
church.

1.-THE need today of Catholic men and
women who will courageously and in
diligently, in public and in private,
stand for the principles of the Catho-
lie faith must be evident at once To

"In private life there was never
greater opportunity than now for the
Catholic laymen who can, without CIV

worth of spirituality to a world that
is rapidly growing more materialistic:
the worth of principle to a people that

Following the mayor, Representa-
tive Fred c. Stevens spoke In addi-
ton to his personal qualification to
be able to participate in the meeting,
he declared it afforded him pleasure
as one who had taken some part in
the deliberations of the government
to extend Fluctuations to Mr.. Regain.
"The tribute to him is more than
personal" said Representative ste.
vens. ct is a tribute to him as
representative of principle. I con-
graduate the Order, too, for recog-
nizing a great man when it saw him."
Father Michael O'Brien of Mime
apolis told of the work done on the
firing line at Portland, Ore, when Mr..
Regain was elected as president of the
order.
A Force and a Leader.
Two things were declared by Sena-
tor Clapp to be necessary for great
leadership. First, he said, there must
be great leader, and then there must
be a force to be led. He pointed out
that this happy combination had been
found as between James J. Regan and
the Ancient Order of Hibernians.
"In the sledge hammer logic of Sc
quences," he said, there is brighter
day ahead for Ireland. Mr. Regain,
congratulate you upon your election
as president of an order that gives
back an accentuated force and which
shall bring for Ireland the dawning
of that brighter day."
Governor Eberhart, who followed
next, pointed out that as commander
in-chief of an army of 100000 men
and $4,000 women Mr.. Regain occupied
a conspicuous position of honor that
was second in Importance to very few
in the land.
st may be-" said the governor,
chat this old world of ours is not
as good as we should like to see it,
but am sure it is possible through
our devotion to the principles Of such
an order as this to assist in the work
of making the earth better, purer and
brighter. There can be no greater
position than to stand at the head
of such an ORDER"
Archbishop Ireland was the last
speaker of the evening preceding
President Regan. He spoke at con-
siderable length, mingling mild de.
gree of humor along with his more
serious remarks. Occasionally he was
interrupted with applause, and again
laugh broke out following a ludi-
crous allusion to Something. He en-
phasized throughout his talk that
while it is we'll to give proper atten-
ton to traditions of the past, people
should live in the present with thought
OF tomorrow, and that the Irish should
join with other nationalities in Ameri-
can citizenship

The Month of the Rosary.

October is dedicated to the HOLY
Rosary and in all churches every day
during the month the Rosary is re.
cited during mass or during exposi-
ton of the Blessed Sacrament at
Benediction. Many blessings are at
tached to the Rosary and rich indul-
gences may be gained by those who
are faithful to the conditions, as the
saying of the beads, the attendance
at the services, confession and com.
munion and some prayers for the
Holy Fathers intentions.
The following poem by Father Ryan
is opportune:
My Beads.
Sweet blessed beads, would not part
With one of you for richest gem
That CLEANS in kingly diadem;
Ye know the mystery of my heart.
For l have told you every grief
In all the days of twenty years,
And l have moistened you with
tears;
And in your decades found relief.
All! time has fed and friends have
failed
And joys have died; but in my
needs
Ye were my friends! my blessed
beads!
And We consoled me when waned.
For many and many a time in grief,
My weary fingers wandered round
Thy circled chain, and always found
In some Hail Mary sweet relief.
How many a story you might tell
OF inner life to all unknown
l trusted you and you alone
But ah! We keep my secrets we'll.
Ye are the only chain l wear,
A sign that am but the slave
In life, in death, beyond the grave,
Of Jesus and His Mother, fair
