The Iaberal Independent. ON

The Liberal Independent, one Of
the very best weekly papers publish
ed in Kansas, came out as Demo
cratic paper last week Abe K.Stauf-
er retiring and Carl G.. Eddy be-
coming editor. The Independent was
not a strong partisan paper before
the change. but it had Republican
leanings, and as the Republicans
were already burdened with news
papers, the proper thing was done
in converting it into a Democratic
paper. The principal reason why
western Kansas has always been
strongly Republican is the lack OF
democratic papers and we are glad
to- know that Seward county is now
better situated in this respect.

bad job when she attempted to ca

sive in his opposition. A city that
offends and annoys the chief e&ecu-

There is an unusual situation in
Missouri. The Democrats elected
over two-thirds Of the members of

The Irish standard., 1910-05-07

One good thing about Lloyd Georges
budget is that the working men of
Great Britain and Ireland are taking
to the drinking of tea instead of beer
and whisky. The heavy tax on intox-
icating liquors caused the brewers and
distillers to increase the price, and the
result is that the people are SOLDERING
up. In 1909 the expenditures for spir-
itous liquors was $25,0o0,0OO less in
the United Kingdom than in 1908 The
money thus saved was spent for bet
ter things. Strange that O'Brien and
Healy with their little clique voted
against the budget in the interest of
those who have grown wealthy by the
sale and manufacture of Intoxicating
beverages Ito steal away the brains"
of the people. The police records al
ready show notable falling off of
arrests for drunkenness. Lloyd George
has done splendid work in bringing
the lords and the whisky magnates to
time.

The Death Of Nelson.

1t was at 1880 on the morning of
near Cadiz, Spain, with 33 ships of the

that Admiral Lord Nelson felt that
his officers and men needed some in

But at the suggestion of the officers

sea fighter, on the quarter deck of the
Victory, changed the words so as to
read: England expects that every
man will do his duty
"a tremendous burst of cheering"
says the historian Of this memorable
Trafalgar contest, greeted the signal
as it passed down the two lines of the
British fleet
The result is history. The British
force comprised 27 sail of the line of
which seven were three-de ckers, one
an S0-gun ship, three 64-gun Ships
and the rest were of "A guns. The
losses, including Nelson himself, were
402 killed and 1,139 wounded. OF the
SO sail of the allies, II fell back to
Cadiz and % were captured by the
victorious Britons. The estimated
combined loss of life in the allied fleet
was $500 killed and $500 wounded.
Admiral Nelson at 1870 o'clock, or
when the battle had been raging for
two hours, was walking the quarter
deck of the flagship Victory, with Cap
tain Hardy at his side, when a musket
ball of sharpshooter in the top of the
French frigate Redoubtable struck him
at the shoulder and passed down
through his chest into the spine His
four bright decorations on his breast,
glittering like stars in the night, had
revealed his personality to the enemy,

means of his death.

Mr.. Roosevelt, when you were pres
dent in the White House did you stano
at the door welcoming into your par
lor and your dining room the riff-raff
of the street who hurl stones at your
head and insult your family? Would
you do that? These are the conditions,
Mr.. Roosevelt. You We're not strictly
loyal, even to your own principles.
You, who talk SO much about the
square deal could have at least waited
till you came to Rome and informed
yourself well of the position of this
institution and having done SO if you
really meant the square deal which
men now begin to doubt, you would
have said No, holy father, 1 come to
you; stand for honor and reverence
and the right and cannot, as an hon.
est man in any way participate or have
anything to do with this institution
And remember I am talking really
and truly on principle, not personali-
ties l am talking as I would to any
man. Now, Mr.. Roosevelt has always
said and has given us to understand
that he is very fond Of Catholics and
he liked them very much. We will let
that pass. We suppose it is true If
it We're true then, Mr.. Roosevelt, why
did you dare insult the holy father,
the pope? Why did you dare to turn
down an offer of hospitality from the
holy father, the head Of the great
Catholic church, whom we revere as
the vicar of Christ?
Nov, Mr.. Roosevelt, do you really
love us? If so, you have shown your
affection for us in very strange way.
The Vatican knew perfectly we'll that
its action would be misrepresented.
The cardinal secretary of state, Merry
del Val, knew perfectly that at once
there would be oceans of villification
heaped against him and Mr.. Roose-
welt allowed him to take the blame
The Vatican is loyal and there is an
example of disloyalty in that very in
cdent which stands forever as his
tory.
ut is the case of John Callan
OLoughlin. Who is he? He says he
is a Catholic and he boasts of it, and
in the same breath he cables all over
/ the world that the head of his church
is wrong and Mr. Roosevelt is the
greatest thing in creation. That is
the sort of Catholic that we are
ashamed Of He will live to see the
day that he will regret these Words
