A Spirited Reply.

A Digoted minister of Hamilton. On
tario, who recently asserted that the
Catholic church was not Christian, re-
ceived the following rebuke from the
Hamilton Herald, Protestant jour-
nal:
las for the statement that Roman
Catholicism is not Christianity at all,
is it not bitter and unfair? Consider
what this implies. 1t means that, be-
tween the establishment of the Pap
acy and the dawn of the Reformation
that is, for many hundreds of years
there was virtually no Christianity
in the world, certainly no organized
Christianity. Surely such statement
is unfair and untrue, and we regard
it as evidence of q bitter, narrow and
intolerant spirit. Is it not Christian
ity that nourished such pure and he
roic souls as the English Alfred, st.
Louis of France, st. Francis of AS
sisi Thomas Kempis, Francis
Xavier, Vincent de Paul, and host
of others-then Christianity must be
shorn of some of it's most glorious
achievements

Sinister Motives.

Two men-William Jones and John
Smith-were neighbors and deadly
enemies. They often crossed swords
in court and out Of it, and Jones, be-
ing what might be called more clev-
err than Smith, invariably got the bet
ter of the encounter. In the end so
cowed was Smith that the slightest
move on the part of Jones made him
nervous and suspicious, and with the
remark. '"I wonder what object he
has in this ?" he called up all his re-
serve faculties to combat the fresh
attack which poor Jones never con-
templated.
One day friend called on Smith
and greeted him with:
"well, old man, have you heard the
news?"
mo" said Smith, "What news?"
Jones is dead. He died last night
at midnight
Smith paused, drew a hard breath,
raised his hand to his forehead and
thought, then blurted out:
Dead, did you say-Jones dead?
Great heavens! I wonder what object
he has in this?"

sionary discovered the Father of
waters nearly two and half CEN

French Elections.

The result of the French elections
is great disappointment to the
Catholics of the entire world. Again
the same apathy which has charac-
terized the French people in former
elections was manifested, with the
result that the government majority
is, If anything, slightly increased, in
stead of being diminished, and the
relative position of the political par
ties in France is not materially modi
fled. All the members of the cabinet
except M. Millerand, Minister of Pub
lie Works, have been reelected. In
his case second ballot will be nee
essary. Among others who will have
to stand for election second time are
M. Brisson, president Of the Chamber
of Deputies; Jean Jaures, the Social
list leader; Boni de Castellane and M.
Delcasse, who was formerly Minister
of Foreign Affairs.

KING EDWARDS DEATH.

There has been universal regret
over the death of King Edward of
England because Of his pacific dis
position and liberal sympathies. Dur
ing his brief reign he acquired the
title of the Peacemaker and kept his
kingdom out Of war. He won the af-
lection OF the common people when
Prince of Wales and retained it when
he became king on the death of his
mother. In all parts Of the empire
he was popular.
It is safe to say that in Ireland he
was the most popular monarch who
sat on the British throne since the
time of the Stuarts, and though he
never uttered a word in favor of
Home Rule. many Irishmen. including
the late Mr.. Parnell supposed he
would not object to self government
for Ireland on the federal plan adopt
ed in Canada and South Africa. Had
he lived. it is believed he would try
to make Ireland loyal by doing her
equal justice with the colonies, but
that is as far as he would be likely
to go.
A decade ago when Edward reached
the throne, he found his British sub
brought on by the Tories, but as soon

Tho Coronation Oath.

London, May 9.-John Redmond,
leader of the Irish Nationalists, has
sent a letter to Premier Asquith in
regard to the removal from the royal
accession oath of the words which he
says are $50 offensive to Roman Cath
olics."
He asks the prime minister to take
steps to relieve King George of using
language at the commencement of his
reign which must deeply wound the
feelings and outrage the faith of Cath
olcs throughout the empire and the
world.
1t is apparent from the tone of Red
mond's letter that the offensive words
are to be made an early political issue
by the Irish Nationalists. If this
proves true it will add to the unhap-
piness of the government, and will
complicate the struggle over the
lords veto resolution.
When Edward took the oath at the
time of his coronation that tactful
monarch laid no stress OIL the Offend
ing phrases. On the contrary, he
slurred them so that no one within
sound of his voice could understand
what he was saying.
There was an acrimonious discus
sion OF this phase of the oath for
months before Edward was crowned,
and it promises to he renewed with
increased bitterness before King
Georges coronation.

Tho Ballinuer Case,

1t is now nearly nine months since
we began our agitation for Ballinger's
removal. says Golfers. Ballinger,
however, is the least important fac
tor in the fight except that he hap
pens to be in a position where he
represents the turning point in a con-
troversy between two great ideas of
public policy and public morals. When
we seem to be fighting Ballinger. we
are fighting the proposition to allow
the Guggenheim Morgan syndicate to
obtain by fraud control of all the
wealth of Alaska, and rule that coun-
try through one vast monopoly: we
are fighting the right of the Attorney
General of the United States to give
out to the people of the United States
false reports: we are fighting the
right of the President of the United
States to use the power of his great
Office to support these false state
ments. The Ballinger case. to our
mind, represents the parting of the
ways. If Ballinger is forced out the
whole alliance between the predatory
interests and the government will be
split wide open. If the standpatters
come out victorious, the alliance be-

Plus x Loves the Sea.

To an old friend a few days ago
the Pope spoke of Venice and his
great wish to see the city before he
died. Il am willing to go to Venice"
he said. "even if I had to walk there,
but I realize that I am destined to die
never see Venice again. The friend
then remarked that the Vatican with
it's art treasures was a residence
which afforded great compensations to
the spirit and almost reconciled it's
occupant to voluntary Imprisonment.
YES" answered the Pope, "but it lacks

ways in my heart"

THE BUDGET AFTERMATH.

There is a difference of opinion as
to the extra taxation on Ireland in
the Lloyd George budget. William
o';Balr'ien a, T. NJ. HealyI and their fol-
lowers claim that Ireland has been
taxed two million pounds, while Red
mond. Dillon and even Lloyd George
himself are sure that it is less than
half a million. The opponents of par
liamentary agitation in the United
States have taken up the cry that
Ireland is assessed two million pounds
or ten million dollars in the budget.
and they blame Redmond and his fol-
lowers for voting for it instead of vot-
ing against it. Now, who is right as
to the amount?
While John Dillon was delivering
the speech which is given on the first
page Of this number of the Irish
Standard, he placed the extra tax
alton at s4S0.OOO. but Lloyd George
interrupted him and said it was
e435.000. Again. when William
OBrien was speaking on the same
day. and mentioned two millions,
Lloyd George replied to him as fol-
lows:
HE had heard over and over again
about the two millions that were laid
on Ireland 1t was nice round fig
ure, and any other sum would do Just
as we'll. He had never been able to
get from anyone single item to JUS
tify that estimate of two millions. He
gave full particulars for his estimate
of less than half a million, and he
challenged criticism of it. He would
like to see some attempt to prove
that these two millions We're some
thing more than Pigment of the
imagination"
So far as the amount is concerned
Lloyd George himself is the best au-
thority on the subject, and equal to
him is John Dillon. Until figures are
pl'VuSSu we prefer. " dSccpl lhelF
statements Healy and O'Brien made
no attempt to give the real amount
and those who echo the amount of
two millions on their authority are
entitled to no credence whatever.
Lloyd Georges budget taxes the
rich and not the poor. The owner Of
ground-rents is taxed on the "un-
earned increment" of land in the cit
les. whose value has been enhanced
by the growth of the community. but
the farmer escapes additional taxa
ton on his agricultural lands. 1t is
the landlords and the distillers and
brewers who have a grievance against
Lloyd Georges budget. The licensed
trade in Ireland is not so heavily
taxed as in Great Britain and vet the
publicans or dealers in Intoxicating
The Irish standard. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn. ;) 1886-1920, 1910-05-14

drinks are hostile to the Irish party.
1t lies with the Irish people them
selves whether they pay the extra
spirit duty or not. Let them abstain
from patronizing the distillers and
publicans and they will be better off
at the end of the year. Next to the
landlords. the manufacturers and dis
pensers of alcoholic drinks are the
worst enemies of the Irish people.
In our opinion, John Redmond dis
played good sense in voting for the
budget after 'Asquith had drawn his
resolutions to curtail the power of the
lords. The Tories would never de-
prive the peers of the power of veto.
and neither would they pass Home
Rule bill If they came into Office by
the aid of the Irish members they
would introduce a budget far more
objectionable than Lloyd Georges.
They would tax the common people
and favor the aristocracy and liquor
, interests as they always have done.
1t was the part of wisdom for Red
mond to stick by Lloyd George, who
has been an ardent Home Ruler dur
ing his parliamentary career. The
majority of the Irish race heartily
endorse his action. AS for the small
minority, nothing can satisfy them.
