Archbishop Glennon, of st. Louis,
who recently celebrated the twenty
fifth anniversary of his ordination to
the priesthood, received congratula-
tions from President Taft, who face
tiously said: but for the CLEAN of
purple of your office I should have
thought you were just beginning your
priesthood. Just what secret of eter-
nal youth you have discovered do
not know, but I think you ought to
give the rest of us, who must be about
your age. and who are evidently in the
sere and yellow leaf of life, the oppor-
tunity 10 retrace our steps to that de-
ceitful appearance which so we'll be-
comes YOU" The Archbishop of st.
Louis is one of the youngest members
of the American prelacy and one of
the most brilliant and patriotic. Long
may he wear the purple referred to by
President Taft in such pleasant
manner.

A COUNTRY WITHOUT CRIME.

absence of crime. The judges had no
cases to hear, and adjourned the
courts until the next quarters ses-
come that several of the jails have
been closed altogether to save ex-
penses. The last of them to close has
been kjlmainham. one of the most
historic jails in Europe. for it held as
prisoners Of state some of the lead
ing men of Ireland. This famous PEN
itentiary is closed as result Of de-
cision Of the general prison board
which declares that it becomes neces-
sary to do so as there are not in Dub
lin and the neighboring counties GRIM
| lnals enough to keep the staff en-
ployed. So says u special cable from
Dublin to the Minneapolis Tribune of
last Sunday. The sender of the dis
patch says:
Dublin is probably the only city OF
it's size in Europe in which such q
| thing could happen. Crime in the or
binary sense is practically non-exist-
ent in Ireland. The great guilds OF
| crime-the bands Of professional bur-
glars and robbers, the financial con-
spirators, adept forgers, trained
thieves, habitual LEVERS of blackmail
bogus noblemen, parsons and ladies OF
| family. long-firm practitioners, hotel
and railway sharps, magsmen, hooks
and bounces-these are almost entire
ly unre presented in Ireland. In a
word, to quote an English writer, Sc
far as habitual and professional crime
is concerned, there is not another as
decent country in Europe"
Such a law-abiding people as the
Irish certainly deserve elf-govern-
ment. When they do not violate Brit
| ish law, which they detest, how much
more will they not violate the laws of
! their own making? For several years
back tho Irish have had an excellent
training for self-government under
the county councils system of local
management, which frees them from

cost OF living more burdensome than
others more fortunately situated. The
tariff on foreign imports is so ar
ranged that it falls lighter on the
wealthy man and heavier on the poor.
For instance, if man imports
$4,000 worth of furs, he pays a duty
of S1,650; but if it were $4,000 worth
of clothing the tax wo,Sd be $4,330.
If he imported $1,000 worth of jewelry,
he would pay $500; but if he brought
in $1,000 worth of wooden goods, he
would pay s1,050.S2 tariff, making it
prohibitive. On $1,000 worth of paint
ings and statuary he would pay at the
customs house only 5000; whereas if
he imported $1,000 worth of sugar, he
would pay $7ss.7O.
And so it goes. Everything in favor
of the rich and against the poor in

Bill Taft to be the best ever passed

that the tariff question is not yet set

GEN. LEE AND HALL OF FAME,

According to foreign military critics,
ish army, Gen. Robert E. Lee, of the
South, who surrendered to Gen. U. S.
Grant, of the North, at AppomattoX.
was the greatest general of the Civil
War. Whether he was or not we are
not competent to determine, but every
one will admit that he was good
tactician, brave soldier a Christian
gentleman and an American citizen
of whom the whole nation should be
proud.
The state Of Virginia has chosen
George Washington and Robert f. Lee
specially honored at the nations cap
ital. Every state of the Union has
the privilege of placing statues Of two
persons in the Hall of Fame, and the
"Old Dominion" has selected two OF
it's fsvcrite sons-Washiltgton and
Lee. 1t has perfect right to make
any choice it pleases. Washington is

great soldier of the Lost Cause" and
fought unsuccessfully for State Rights.

gave them birth.

ant. fought valiantly and skillfully
against the Northern legions In the
War of the Rebellion. He would not
draw the sword against his native
state and his own kith and kin. Not a
stain is on his name as soldier, and
after the war he settled down peace
fully at educational pursuits and died
at the head OF Southern college with
out ever uttering a word against the
carpetbaggism imposed upon the
South during the days of reconstruct
ton. His memory has been honored
by North and South, and yet there are
cranks yet living who think Lee is not
worthy of place in the American
Pantheon.
A handful of Grand Army men in
Chicago have Joined the Michigan
Loyal Legion in demanding that
Congress prevent the placing Of
the Lee statue in the Hall of Fame
at Washington. OF course. Congress
will pay no attention to such an un-
reasonable demand. Is not the war
over for the past As years? Do the
old veterans want to keep it up with
their feet on the verge If the grave?
The Confederacy which they fought
Is dead. 1t is natural that many o.
them should entertain bitter feelings
against Lee for the havoc he wrought
IN their ranks. but it is time to get rid
of fratricidal hatred and look upon him
as great American. When Henry

AS for Chamberlain, who cares for
that discredited politician? In 1874
when he sat for Sheffield he was an
avowed Home Ruler and professed
sentiments much in advance of gen.
eral opinion at that time upon the
question of Ireland. He assailed the
lords and said they toll not, neither
do they SPIN He denounced landlord
tyranny in Ireland in vituperative
terms, and was a close friend of
Charles Stewart Parnell.e Having ac-
CURED q large fortune from manufac-
turing screws at Birmingham. he be-
came aristocratic and LEFT Gladstone
after being in his cabinet. He brought
OH the South African war when q
member of the Tory cabinet and made
millions out Of it, but left the British
taxpayers to pay a big war debt, and
the people of the British Islands to
mourn the slain. He has been aptly
called "the Judas of British politics"
and nobody but the Lords and the
wealthy take any stock in his tariff
policy.
The plain people want free trade in
the necessaries of life and do not care

The talk about a German navy accupy-
ing Belfast bay if Irish Home Rule
is granted is causing laughter from
John O'Groats to- Lands End. The
British democracy, led by such men
as Asquith, the Scotchman, and Lloyd
George, the Welshman, will not be
lntirnidated by the Belfast DOGGY and
other absurdities emanating from the
sick room of the Birmingham screw
maker. The Home Rule that Mr. Red
mond demands is we'll understood by
Liberals and Tories. He wants self
government of the kind described IN
Gladstone's bill, which was rejected
by the Lords.
The infamous Act of Union must be
repealed. 1t must be torn up and

says. 1T was carried" said Glad

VIEWS OF OTHERS.
e. L. MoreI.

Editor Of The Irish Standard:
Sir-Ar esteemed contemporary one
day this week published in it's morning
and evening editions a cut of the above
named person as president of the
Congo Reform Association adding
that he was largely instrumental in
calling attention to the conditions in
the Congo. AS this information con
corning Mr.. Morel is rather meagre. I
propose to supplemet it by quota
ton from the lecture of a gentleman
who is perfectly familiar with Morel
and his methods: 1.-THE officers of
this Congo Reform Association are a
Mr.. John Holt and certain E. D.
Morel in my opinion, two of the most
Inscriptions schemers on the face of
the earth. These two men and their
affiliations are the active plotters
against the Congo Free State. They
have stopped to every vile trick, every
low lie, and every foul invention con-
ceivable to aid them in their efforts.
Their literary scavengars have fooled
the American people, for the American
press reflects Britain's foreign news,
and fills the pockets of the perambu-
lating pretenders who shout in cas-
sock and howl lies from the pulpits of
this country, and then take up a COL
lection for the Congo Reform Associa-
tion. Not long ago Morel and Holt
were caught red -handed in an ATTEMPT
to bride Congo official into accusing
the Congo administration Of cruelties
and atrocities that were never COM
mitted." At this point of his lecture
Capt Fritz Duquesne flashed on the
screen the photographs of the docu-
mentary evidence of this dastardly at
tempt to defame a nation and deceive
the public. These are the worthless
and these their Neutrality-suspicious. in

ance, or bigotry, or rars and har-
