NEW ACCESSION OATH.

The change in the accession oath is
entirely satisfactory to Catholics both
in and out of Great Britain. Their
only objection to the oath was based
on the outrageous insult that it offered
to them. Now that it is changed and
the King is required merely to say
that he is a faithful Protestant, Cath
olics can take no offense at the declar-
alton.
However. it would not be SURPRISING
If this much discussed oath became
the subject of still further discussion
before the crown has been transferred
many times. II it ever becomes neces
sary to define what is meant by a
faithful Protestant who is going to do
1t? A man may be a Protestant and
, faithful in his belief and be a variety
of things. Protestant is by it's nature
, a negative term. 1t was originally APP
piled to those who objected to or rath-
er protested against the teaching of

among the many creeds that bear this
name there is little less unity than be-
tween the Church of Rome and the
Anglican church. If then the time

among the Protestant sects the prob

the oath would not have come about
since the Professionals outnumbered the
Catholics by far.

with It, 1t will either have to be
dropped entirely or else all reference

1.-THE history of Ireland as written
is a conspiracy against the truth.
There is so much purposeful misrepre-
sentation, and say it regretfully, Of
Irish history, that the student, the
seeker after the truth, must wade
through dense volumes to get at the
kernels Of Erin's history, to gather
here and there the real sentiments and
spirit that animate the Irish race. It
is not necessary to go into details to
prove this statement, I make it with
the hope that it may echo through ev-
cry Irish heart listening to my wordA
THE Irish race has been patient for
three centuries. 1t is time to open the
eyes of the worlds historians on the
jeweled pages Of Irish history. These
are my solid convictions as an Irish
man and as deep student of history.
Thank God! I am Irish by blood, by
sympathy and, one might say, Irish
by desire. Speaking as student 1t
seems to me that thus far there is lack
ing true understanding of the spirit
of self sacrifice that the children of
Ireland have made for the faith of
Jesus Christ, and to keep the spirit of
Irish nationality"

son of Irish parents, and of stock

MAKING A RECORD
Bishop o'ReiIIy Of Fargo Doing a Vast
Amount Of Work.


Seventeen dedications, forty con-
f1rmations and ninety visitations make
up the record of work established by
Bishop James O'Reilly of the Fargo
diocese since he took charge of the
work on June 1, says the Fargo, N. D.,
Forum of August "a.
The bishop, accompanied by his Sec
rotary, Father James O'Driscoll, has
returned home from a trip of several
days through Cavalier and Walsh
counties, which ended Monday after
noon at the close Of an automobile
trip Of $50 miles.
At Osnabrock the bishop dedicated
the new Catholic church, while at
Langdon he confirmed a class of near
ly 100 children Sunday. On this trip
he also visited Pisek, Olga, Mount
Carmel, Wales, Dresden Hannah and
Larimore, so that his days have been
extremely we'll filled.
The great amount Of work that piled
up during the time that the diocese
was without a bishop has been re-
sponsible for the extra work that has
been necessary during the past two
and a half months.

THE AMERICAN IDEA.

Every American knows that America
is commercial country, but we sell
dom realize how completely we are
taken up with business pursuits so we'll
as when it is brought out by COM
parison. In England and on the con-
tinent the oppressive heat of the dog
days finds business sluggish and only
such activity as is absolutely necessary.
The people go to the seashore or the
lakeside to relax completely from the
strain of duties and to better their
physical well-being by forgetting their
cares for while. They become so
they shun business centers as If taking
vacation were quite as important as
any other duty. All are included in
the same way and as result no one
In particular suffers from inattention
to his commercial pursuits. They do
not take the same view of life that
the average American takes. They
feel that there is something else to
live for besides accommodating wealth
and the something else-the pleasures
Of relaxation--is precisely what adds
spice to life.
America is land Of activity. Ev-
eryone must be active or close up
shop. Merchants do not wait for busi-
ness to come to them. They go out
after 1t and the man who does not
hustle for his share will soon find that
he has no share. The idea of expand
ing, Of getting control of a larger and
larger portion Of the trade in locality,
Of becoming wealthy and ultimately
developing into a trust If possible, is
the predominant idea in American
commercial tactics. With the American
enough is not enough when reference
is made to wealth. There are no limi-
tations to the amount he would accum-
ulate. In order to carry out his plan
he cannot find time to take vacation
Time given to resting would be time
wasted, according to his commercial
ideas. Not long ago wealthy banker
/ in the east ran the length of a block
to catch car on which to go home.
No sooner had he stepped aboard the

car than he fell dead from heart fail
ure caused by the exertion. Another
car would have come in a few minutes
and there was no urgent reason why
he should be at home. But he was
used to hustling. To miss that par
ticular car when he could catch 1t by
an extra effort seemed to him to be
unnecessary loss of time. Physical
considerations did not enter his mind
and the result was that his bank was
operated the next day without his
supervision.
The body cannot stand perpetual
strain. 1t needs a rest to allow the
worn out parts to get into repair. A
little sojourn in the country, or a few
days spent on the bosom of placid
lake when all is restful will benefit
botE mind and body and when work 10
resumed again it will be found to be
less tiresome than before Not all can
indulge in three months vacation
which President Taft advocates and
even those who could afford that much
time from their regular work would
not be likely to find so much leisure
pleasant But everyone ought to be
able to snatch a few days from bust
ness activities and taste the bliss of
savage ease.

The Daily Express of London, a I'm

The Daily Express of London, a I'm
ionist organ and hitherto virulently
anti-Irish, has come out strongly in
favor of home rule on the ground that
this policy alone can make amicable
relations between Great Britain and
the United States possible and advan-
tageous, says America. 1t is believed
that the sudden change of the Express
was due to important, information or
direction communicated by high I'm
ionist sources, that the Unionist lead
ers are acting in this matter on the
advice of the King-The Registrar
General for Ireland reports a decrease
of 500 in the population for 1909. The
excess of births over deaths was 27,7se,
which was offest by an emigration of
2S,676. The birth rate was O.3 per
1000 above the average and the death
rate 0.4 below that of 1908. There
was decrease of 500 in deaths from
tuberculosis as compared with 1908,
and the marriages registered were
slightly above the average for the pre-
vious decade. OF the births registered
97.3 per cent, were legitimate, the re-
naming 81 per cent being largely con-
tributed from Ulster. Except in regard
to emigration, the figures compare fav-
orable with the vital statistics of
other countries
