Ireland and Scotland

The founding of a Scottish Home
Rule Party recalls the. events of over
200 years ago, when in the reign Of
Queen Anne the Parliament of Scot
land was abolished. The Union. Act
passed the, English, House in March,
1701, and was opposed in Scotland
by an extraordinary amalgamation of
hitherto opposing parties. Defoe, the
author of Robinson Crusoe," who was
present. in Edinburgh, and, witnessed
many Of the. sceHes of mob, violence
and demonstration against. the Union,
wrote: 1T was the. most .monstrous
sight in the world to see the Jacobitc
and the Presbyterian, the prosecuting
prelate Jurors and the Gamer
oman, the Papist and the reformed
Protestant parley, Join; interests and
concert measures together.r
Amongst Scottish peers promoting
the Union were@the Dukes 81 Queens
berry and Argyll. The Duke of HAM
ilton, Jacobite,- vigorously led the
opposition till his action, was checked
by a message from James, the elder
pretender, who, anxious to conciliate
his half-sister. Queen Anne, signifea
that he had no objection to the in
tended. Union. Large sums of money
were dispensed in ,,softening opposi-
ton to the intended Union, and III,
Argyle of that. time was regarded
much as Castlereagh in ireland q GEN.

Is told in the chronicles Of the Irish
Harpers. He was fond OF. music, and
went to visit an Irish innkeeper in
London called Heffernan, who was IN
adept performer on. the national in
strument. and who. played for him a.,
exquisite Scotch air Of; very pathetic
tone. ~ ga .y1 st
"That is surely an Irish, and not a
Scotch air" said Argyle. 1T is too

REDMOND Ar,4LlmERlck,

At a monster meeting in Limerick
q week prior to the departure of the
Irish ENJOYS for America Mr.. John
Redmond delivered forceful address
in which he called attention to the
unjust criticism that had been heaped
upon the Irish I'arty, refuted the
charges that had been made against
it and stated in unequivocal terms the
course which the Party proposes to
pursue. Mr.. Redmond's speech was
neither a personal nos a, party eulogy.
He expressed the hope that the peo-
pie would lend their undivided sup
port to the Party But he gave them
to understand first what the Party
stood for. ~
Mr.. Redmond's address was log
ical exposition of the foundation of
the hope for y speedy solution of
the Home Rule question, At times
the speaker was decidedly optimistic.
He believed, he said, that Home
Rule. would come, and that soon,
If the people would stand by the
Party. If, on the other hand,
factionism were allowed, to thin its
ranks he did not think the present
generation would ever see the consum-
nation of their hope for an Irish Par
lament, I'M
Mr.. Redmond said In part:
"rhey (the peopls)i see that ut

boring for generations has arisen, and
they are .shrewd enough to. know that

today who will live to see the grant,

amounted Ito this, that We are deter
mined to subordinate to the one great
Issue Of. Home Rule all minor issues
that would draw US away from the

concentrate all our energies on one

ern Confederacy there would have
statue in question. Had the govern
ment at any time endeavored to dis
arisen the same harsh criticism with
only this adherence: the southerners
would be the fault finders instead of
men Of the North.
The hostility engendered during the
Civil war is gradually dying out. The
line that once divided the two sections,
so distinctly is fast disappearing and
today they are merging into one grand
whole. That is the end for which both
South and North might we'll aspire
and anything that will impede the
progress Of good will and harmony be-
tween them is to be avoided
Besides. the point at issue in the
Civil war is viewed in very different
light by the men of the South now
than fifty or sixty years ago. The
soldiers who risked their lives for the
Confederacy,j believed, no doubt, that
the principle for which they fought
was right They showed valor which
was not inferior to that exhibited by
Union soldiers. The object in perpetu-
ating the memory of Robert E. Lee is
not to defend the Confederate cause
but to honor true manhood. And for
the Union soldiers to permit that
statue to occupy place in statuary
Hall does not mean that they acquiesce
in the principles OF the Confederacy
but rather that, in addition to their
fortune in being on the right side and
having won, they are blessed with
Christian magnanimity.

ADVERTISING RELIGION!

Afternoon and evening receptions
with their alluring' frappe and cake
refreshments seem to be one Of the
principal methods of augmentinE and
holding together many non-Catholic
congregations. In the vicinity of the
state university in this city this meth
cd of church advertising is particularly
noticeable Receptions are arranged
and university students are particular
ly urged to attend. The advertising
is not confined to social functions
alone It is not uncommon to scs
posters tackled up in conspicuous
places on the campus giving the sub
ject of. a sermon which is intended
to attract students and inviting them
to be present. Again services, are ar
ranged and advertised for the special
benefit of students of the university
To those outside Of the Catholic
church there is nothing unusual in this
manner of advertising for it. is mo! a

after serving some years in state pris-

His anxiety to get back into the po-

PREACHER GENERAL
The Degree Conferred Upon Very Rev.
3. j. Father sTowle. s..,., :

The degree of Preacher General was
conferred upon the Very Rev. Father
Towle in Holy Rosary church on Sun
day. Sept. rs. -:
Father Towle is a member Of the
Dominican Order and Justly merits the
title he has lately received. The re-
cipient of: this degree must have proved
his worth: and ability as "a preacher
of the Gospels Of Our Divine Lord and
must have spent number Of years in
work. .
The attention of the Superior of the
Order was called to the labor and
worthinessT of Father Towle and he
Immediately commissioned the Prior
of Holy Rosary to perform the cere-
mony OF investiture. A solemn high
mass was celebrated and at the con-
clusion Of the first gospel the new
Preacher General made his profess
sion of faitfi--a promise that he would
who once gave utterance, to. the words
Go into the whole world and preach
the gospel, to every nation" And
Father Towle has been faithful to the
command =: of the Master. He has
preached in nearly every state Of the
Union.
The work of a Dominican mission
airy takes him from ocean to ocean in
the United States and for more than
a quarter of a century has the Rever-
end Father Towle prosecuted his Ia
Dor for the salvation OF souls. For
the past ten years. he has been as
signed at Holy Rosary convent, the
Dominican headquarters for the
Northwestern missionary band, and
during that time his eloquent ser
mons have been heard in many church,
es in this section, and many poor,
wayward soul has been brought to
realization Of his mistakes and fail
ings and restored to grace and friend
ship with God because of Father
Towle's wonderful zeal and untiring
efforts. ~
Rev. Daniel R. Towle was born in
the city of New York. He made his
early studies under the fostering,
guiding hand Of the good Christian
Brothers and shortly after he was
graduated entered the novitiate of the
Dominican Order at st. Rose, Ken
lucky. He, was raised to the dignity
of priesthood in the year 1886 and has
since. been constantly engaged in mis-
sionary work. At the conclusion of
the comforting Of the degree, the Very
Rev. Father Logan spoke very feel
ingly of the work and sacrifices of
the new Preacher General and closed
his remarks by congratulating, him
upon this new honor and EXPRESSING
the hope that many years would be
yet given during which he might d.
rect souls to God. Following is the

grown so familiar that few take 1t
seriously.
This is a matter of regret, for there
can be no really intelligent general
consideration of the questions involved
in regulation unlesH the railroad side
of the case is put squarely before the
public. The changes In the Interstate
commerce law which Mr.. Taft is about
Ito recommend, to judge from his own
speeches and those Of Attorney-G en-
eral Wickersham, will aim largely at
perfecting the details of that law, and
they will be, many of them at least,
rather technical. Public Impressions
regarding them are now hazy. Will
the result of the ensuing discussion be
that the advocates of the changes will
have a respectful hearing, while all
that is said by the representatives of
the railroads will be dismissed as
merely another illustration Of their
customary obstructiveness? Will the
campaign against changes in the law
consist largely of the old predictions
! that railroads are to be ruined, their
credit destroyed and their capacity for
