The approach of the holiday season
is heralded by the usual agitation for
carly shopping, an agitation which do
serves serious consideration. All
know that the strain on clerks and
shopkeepers during the holiday sea-
son is severe and particularly during
the two or three days preceding
Christmas. Much of the shopping
that is left for Christmas eve could
be done week before if a little con-
sideration we're brought to bear upon
the matter. If Christmas shoppers
will only remember that the men and
women who stand behind the coun-
ters all day long are human and that
they cannot enjoy Christmas day il
they are tired out by the strain Of
long hours of work the day and night
before, they will attend to their shop
ping a little earlier If possible out
of consideration for their less fortu-
nate fellows. 1t ought to be possible
for the stores to close at six o'clock
on Christmas eve. 1t can be done II
the people will cooperate in the mat
ter of getting their shopping done
early.

Issue Manifesto condemning House of


Lords.
The United Irish League Of Great
Britain issued a manifesto last week
calling landlordism and the House Of
Lords synonymous. The manifesto,
which is signed by Mr.. John E. Red
mond and Mr.. T. P. Q'Connor, is a
violent arraignment Of the House of
Lords as the only obstacle to Home
Rule. 1t describes Lord Lansdowne
as IAN Anglo-Irish landlord whose
family name is written deep in that
coffin ship, the Lansdowne hospital
ward, and in thousands of unmarked
graves where persisted our people

A protective duty in this country
at the present time is nothing short
of national abuse. If it is high
enough to prevent Importation, the
government gets no revenue and the
consumer must bear the burden. If it
doesn't prevent importation, it is not
protection. In the latter case the
government gets the revenue from
that portion which is imported while
the home manufacturers get the\reve.

no protective tariff. Articles are

stead Of part of it going into the
pockets Of manufacturers.
Even though the arguments in be-
half of a revenue tariff are strong the
adoption of such tariff in the I'm
mediate future is not probable. This
is due to the fact that the men who
constitute the House are representa-
tives of local interests. The man
from California wants to see tariff
law enacted that will be favorable to
the industries of his locality. The
man from Pennsylvania cares moth
ing about the fruit trade but he IS
anxious to see that the iron industry
is properly protected. And the rep

ADVENT.

TIL season of Advent, like the Len
ten season, is time for praoticing
and fostering works Of penance. The
Church wishes her children during
this season to promote by prayer and
fasting the advent of spiritual awak'
ching in their souls and to prepare
:or the proper celebration of the glor'
ious Christmas feast which marks
the coming (adventum) of the Son
of God into the world.
The lessons of the Church during
this season remind US of the hope and
expectancy entertained by the ma
tons of the earth for the coming OF
Redeemer. With the promise Oi
the Prophets before them that de
liverer was to come they longed for
the day when that hope of ages would
be realized. At last the time arrived
and the Savior came babe pos
sessed of the frailties of humanity
but withal the King of Heaven and
Earth. Since that Christmas morn
ing the Christian world has com
memorated with gladness the ami
versary Of our Savior's birth. But
that We may be the better prepared
to rejoice on that occasion the
Church has provided season Of pen
ance as preparation for it.
The marvellous beauty of the rites
and offices of the Church during this
season are in harmony with the pur
lose for which the season was sci
apart. The purple hue of penance il
the only color In evidence except on
feasts Of Saints. The whole ritual is
intended to arouse conjunction and
hope.
Catholics will do we'll to think a
little more seriously than usual about
their lives during this season, to pray
little more and to contemplate the
future. There is another and great
err Advent before us-the Genera

pleasant but it is only by thinking
about it that we can prepare for 1t

GIFTS AND GIVING.

Christmas is a time for joy and
gladness. It is a time when good
will is more in evidence than at any
other season of the year. Good
wishes are exchanged freely and all
are filled with pleasure that seems
to spring from an unseen source.
The custom of giving tokens Of es.
TEEN at Christmas time dates back to
the first Christmas season at Beth
lehem. It is a custom which should
edd to the happiness of the holidays
but too often the receipt of gift is
taken to be an obligation which the
receiver makes it point to discharge
at the first opportunity. Gifts re
ceived in such a spirit become bur
den rather than a source of happl
ness.
A Christmas remembrance should
be a reminder of the love and good
will Of the donor. To remind your
friends that you are thinking Of them
and that you wish them well you
need not purchase costly gifts tc
send to them. The poor cannot dc
so and if the rich attempt to 1t Is
likely that many will be forgotten. A
little Christmas card with word Of
greeting or some other trinket thai
costs but a few cents can fill the
same mission without making the re
cipient feel under obligations.
Many gifts selected with the great
est care fail to produce the pleasure
which the donor hopes they may pro
duce. A necktie that appeals to the
fancy of one person may not suit the
taste Cor match the suit of another
The bedroom slippers that look dainty
may feel too much as they look to be
comfortable on some other body's
foot Gifts that are we'll intended
thus frequently fail to please in pro
portion to their value.
There is no need of placing others
under obligations or imposing toe
great burden on ourselves by giving
beyond our means. 1t is much better
to remember all our friends by some
slight token than to remember one
or two by costly gifts.

their boundless suffering. True to It's
Ubiquitous history, the House of Lords

of Irish victory. Its fall is the rise of
Ireland. If this election is won the

The manifesto proceeds to quote MI
merous declarations of the premier
and the chancellor of the exchequer
committing the Liberal party to the
policy of Home Rule and continues:
Our race has been assailed with stud,
led and contemptuous insolence be-
cause it has had the generosity not
to forget in the land of prosperity and
freedom it's motherland and its kin.
The cry of American dollars comes
from the lips of men who were not
ashamed for more than two genera
tions to put into their pockets money
which the robust arms and generous,
unselfish hearts of our people across
the Atlantic sent to their oppressed
and poverty stricken relatives at home.

siding, and issued manifesto SINH
lar to that of November %, in which
the House of Lords was denounced in
most severe terms. Mr.. Redmond
spoke at the Mansion House. He de-
clared that neither Great Britain nor

adays think for themselves, but their

that the great majority of these pa

our religion, the most glazing insults

cowardly justification of the robber
bands who drive our religious from
their homes, confscate their property,
and convert it to their own selfish
purposes.
Have you not read in the daily

praise of the new Portuguese govern

same issue an account of the expul-
sion of the friars, whose only fault
seems to have been that they were
the custodians OF the Church's prop
erty and too meek and gentle to meet
violence with violence? This, indeed,
makes the Catholic blush and I am

would be willing to give 1.-THE of

ists since the Irish Party constructed
it's breastwork of American money for
the campaign that is now under way
has penetrated to all parts of the
United Kingdom. AS might be ex-
pected the Orangemen have shifted
the danger from afar and already
they have visions of England being
ruled by the Pope! They are CULVER
ing under the spell of this dreadful
anticipation surrounded by clouds of
gloom through which the visage Of
the Roman Pontiff is discernible-
smiling in mockery at their alarm!
They must do something to prevent
the awful catastrophe at least they
must display their indignation. And
so, late reports are to the effect that
meetings have been called to protest
against Home Rule. If we are to
credit the dispatches the Ulster I'm.
ionists even went so far in Belfast as
to draw up solemn declaration re-
fusing to pay rates or taxes imposed
by Dublin parliament or to obey ito
laws. Lord Londonderry is quoted as
saying at one Of these meetings that
were a Home Rule parliament estab-
lished it might be found that Ulster
would refuse to obey its DEGREES. 9th
err Uniorist leaders protested against
their country being sold for American
dollars.
However seriously these threats of
resistance to the government of an
, Irish parliament may be meant, they
certainly indicate that Home Rule is
no longer visionary. The spasmodic
demonstrations of a few anti-Home
Rulers are not going to seriously
harm the cause. II anything the
signs Of alarm will afford an incentive
for more determined action to the pro-
moters of Home Rule.
It will be remembered that when
the amending of the accession oath
was being discussed loud protest
went up from the same quarter. The
oath was amended, however, and the
storm subsidized without any serious
consequences. The present demon
stration appears to be the last agony
of a dying hope. When Home Rule
is established the hope will quickly
expire and the noise will cease.
The present general election will
doubtlessly be the most memorable
that has taken place in Great Britain
for many decades. There are likely
to be some serious clashes between
factions; bitterness on both sides
may become acute. But whatever un-
warranted action may be taken by
the extremists there is no doubt that
the Liberals will come out of it with
their present strength at least un-
diminished.

AMERICAN DOLLARS.

The above caption has been used
and abused SO much of late that one
can almost feel the words writhing In
distress as he pens them. American
Dollars! What terrifying magic those
words represent! To think that the
English Lords with all their inherited
prerogatives and all those immuni-
ties that have descended to them
through the lordly blood of their
sires are to become the prey of Irish
claims supported by American money,
tits contamination devoutly to be
wished or to be spurned-depending
on whether or not the reader is an
English lord. But American dollars
are rolling into the United Kingdom
backed by the good will of the Am.
erican people. The financiers of the
movement that Is causing such wide
spread CONSERVATION are glorying in
the alarm they have created. The
criticism aroused by the aid given by
going to check the flow of American
dollars. II Home Rule depends on
American money, Home Rule is going
to win.
American dollars have been vel.
come in England when they were
carted thither by American heiresses
in fulfillment of matrimonial con-
tracts with English dukes and earls
who had nothing more than an in
herited title to live on. They have
Eeen welcome too, when donated by
American millionaires for various
charitable purposes. But now when
they come to force an unwilling gov
eminent to recognize the claims of
the Irish people they arouse a storm
Of protest-a protest which, however,
in one sense is welcome since 1t
shows that the remedy is having it's
effect.
The people who are financing Ire
lands struggle for Home Rule are
not interested in British affairs out
side Of this question. They care not
what England's tariff policy is or
what is done about the demands Of
Scotland and Wales. What they are
interested in is Home Rule for Ire
land. They have responded gener-
cusly to the appeals for aid and II
they see that the outcome Of the issue
depends on the complexion which
their contributions lend to the strug-
gle, Irish sympathizers will not be
satisfied with donation of 100000
to the cause but they will double it
