TIM HEALY,s DEFEAT.

Inc defeat OF William Redmond in
Cork was Offset by the victory in
North Louth of Richard Hazelton, the
Irish Nationalist, over Timothy Healy
of William O'Brien's small and dimin-
ishing coterie. Last January Healy
won his seat by majority of ninety
nine votes. Mr.. Hazelton's majority in
the present elections was close to five
hundred. This should be a warning
to O'Brien and his factionists of the
attitude of the people toward them.
1t is safe to say that if it were not
for the Unionist strength thrown to
them the O'Brienites would be re-
moved from power to man.
Timothy Healy has represented the
Louth constituency for nearly a score
Of years. He is without question an
able man, but owing to a m1sdirec-
ton of his energies, he has done more
harm than good in Irish politics.
Jealousy, rather than reason, has
caused him to constantly oppose Red
mond's leadership. His attacks on
the latter in Parliament and out of
Parliament have been bitter and I'M
founded. If his defeat will lead him
to mediate ON and mend his course
it will be a blessing to himself as
we'll as to the Irish party.
The kind of craftsmanship that is
characterized by vain ambition over
leaping itself and Placing the cause
of the nation second to that of the
individual is not the craftsmanship
that is going to win the sympathy of
the people. Timothy Healy has been
taught this lesson. He and the other
disgruntled members of his set should
fall in line and work for the interests
of their country by supporting the
leadership of John Redmond in the
momentous struggle which gives ev-
cry promise of an early Home Rule
bill.

Timothy Costello, who recently
passed away in Fargo at the age of
80 years, was one Of the finest pen
men in the Northwest. His plate and
scroll work marked him as an artist
in his line without a peer. An Irish
man by birth, he was as true to the
old land as the needle to the pole.
Proud of his American citizenship and
answering in his fealty to Ireland's
cause, another member of the faithful
old guard has been called to his re-
ward in the death of Timothy Co.'S

enogh, Is not a good reason for in
cre$ing the number of seats in the
Ho9e. The bills passed by the House
haW long since ceased to be the en-
accidents of popular deliberative as
sembly. That body is too unwieldy
now to allow anything like free de-
bat( on any measure brought before
it. lit has resolved itself into body
in which the speaker and his friends
are the real legislators. The right of
appointing committees and designat-
ing the chairman of each with the
exception of the committee on rules)
is power that is delegated to the
speaker. Furthermore, it is the duty
of the speaker to refer all public bills
to the committees in charge of the
matters to which they relate before
they are allowed to be discussed on
the floor of the House. These COM
mittees, consisting of from a half doz-
en- to score of men, examine the
IuOuodAOS VI UlllS l1dL DIE
each session and then do whatever
they wish with them. A committee
does not have to give any report what
ever on bill unless it chooses to do
so. Thousands of bills introduced
each session never get past the com.
mittee stage.
In this way few men practically
determine the nature of the legisla-
ton. When the speaker wishes to
kill bill he can refer it to COM
mittee with the assurance that the
friends whom he appointed on the
committee will see that it is buried
or so altered that it cannot be recog-
nized.
The House is large enough as it is.
Further addition to the number of
representatives would make that body
still more unwieldy and would neces-
state House rules that would ham,
per rather than help popular legisla-
ton.

WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT,

The present contest in England be-
tween the Liberals and the Unionists
is a struggle which involves an i'm.
portant constitutional question. The
House of Lords Is hereditary legis-
lative body. 1t has the power of Veto
ing measures passed by the Com
mons. This power has been used
time and again to defeat measures
affecting Irish affairs. 1t was the
abuse of the veto prerogative that
precipitated the present crisis. The
House of Commons in order to over
come this obstacle is trying to have
passed what is called the veto bill.
The object Of this measure is to take
from the House of Lords the right to
veto a bill which has been passed
three times within two years by the
House Of Commons. In order for this
bill to become law it, of course, must
receive the approval of the House of
Lords. The latter House naturally
enough objects to a bill which will
curtail its own powers.
The question therefore rests with
the people. If the Liberals are re-
turned to power with a sufficient ma
jority it becomes evident that the
will of the people is that the House
of Lords should be deprived Of its
veto power. Therefore on the return
of the Liberals to power-and the
present is the third successive VIC
tory for the Liberal party-the Lib
eral minister will advise the King on
the state of the Kingdom and it is
expected that Liberal peers will be
appointed in sufficient number to Off
set the present Tory majority of the
House of Lords, thus making it pos

CHIEF JUSTICE WHITE.

Iuc dppO1uLLAcuI VI Justice Ell
ward D. White as Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court of the United States
has aroused considerable criticism
among Republicans who favored the
appointment of Justice Hughes to that
position. The principal contention
against President Taft's selection of
Chief Justice is that never in the
history of the Supreme Court has a
Chief Justice of a political faith diff.
ferent from that of the party in pow
er been appointed. It is also held that
experience on the bench has not been
considered an essential requirement
for Chief Justice inasmuch as sew.
efal Chief Justices have been ap.
pointed who had no previous judicial
experience.
It is true that federal appointments,
Supreme Court judgeships not except
ed, have long been favored by poll
tics. Yet any citizen who recognizes
the tremendous Importance of the Su-
prerne Court will maintain that party
politics should have no influence in
the matter of selecting the men who
are to be the interpreters of the Con-
stitution Of the United States. The
men who are to serve in that capacity
should be chosen for their judicial
training and their views respecting
popular government.
Furthermore, the main object of
Democratic government is to enable
the most efficient men to attain to the
important positions. Justice White Is
recognized among the leading jurists
of today. In his grasp of the law he
probably ranks second to no man in
the country, and certainly with the
most able men that have ever sat
upon the supreme bench. He has had
sixteen years experience as justice of
the Supreme Court of the United
States with other years of experience
prior to that in the Supreme Court of
the state of Louisiana. He is unques-
tionably the best qualified man on
the bench for the position which he
has been raised. Had Justice White
been a Republican, Charles E. Hughes
would not have been spoken of as a
candidate for the Chief Justiceship.
With due respect to Justice Hughes
the only reason that can be put for
ward why he should be appointed
Chief Justice in preference to JUS
tice White is that he is Republican
and Justice White is Democrat.
President Taft, therefore, is to be
commended for his choice.
Chief Justice White is the second
Catholic to hold the exalted position
to which he has just been raised.
Chief Justice fancy was the other.
