The warmest fight that has yet occurred in the Legislature was precipitated by the State Peni- tentiary Board when it referred tc the General Assembly the ques- tion of the further employment of the convicts, the contract with w. l.. Reeves for 200 men having expired.
 The Senate debated the propo- sition all one forenoon, and then tabled it all, refusing to permit the board to shift their responsi- bility to the Legislature. At the same time, Senator Miles intro duced bill abolishing the con- tract system, and providing that the convicts shall be worked on the state farm, and the surplus let to counties that will pay their expenses. The Senate by it's ac- ton said the Board was expected to do it's duty, or answer to the people.
 In the House it could not be so summarily disposed of, and there were many fiery speeches on the subject. Politics played a strong part in the debate, and it was openly asserted on the floor of the House that it was a fight between Atty. Gen. Nor wood and Gov. Donaghey, mem bers of the Board who had taken opposite sides of the question. Gov. Donaghey has consistently and at all times stood for the ab- olition of the contract system and the working of surplus con- victs on the roads. Atty. Gen. Norwood, who is a candidate fol Governor, by invitation address ed the Legislature and declared that while the state was not IT favor of the lease system, a con tract for the hire of the men, the state retaining control of them is not a lease. He opposed the working of convicts on the pub lie roads, and maintained that, to meet the emergency confront ing the institution, it IS neces- sary to make some gainful dispo. sition of the general hundred men not need on the farm. The best way of doing this, he said, was to hire them out, as hac been done, and he declared this must be done or some provlslor be made for meeting the pay | rolls and running expenses dur 1 ing the non- productive season or | the farm.

NATIONAL CONFERENCE OF
| ST. VINCENT De PAUL SOCIETY
Delegates From All Parts of America
Will Meet in Boston Next June.

Announcement has been made that
the next national conference of the
Society of ST. Vincent de Paul will
be held in Boston, Mass, beginning
Sunday, June 4, and continuing until
June z. This gathering Of Catholic
1aymen, who are engaged in the great
work of charity, will be a representa-
tive one in every respect. for dele
gates to the number of 800 or 400, in.
aeluding men and women, are expect.
ed from every part of the United
States.
The arrangements for the national
conference are we'll advanced, under
the direction of the executive commit
tee of the conference, of which DIR
Thomas Dwight, of Boston, is chair
man, and Bernard C. Kelly, of Boston
secretary. This committee is com.
posed of well-known Catholic laymen
who are prominent in Vincentian
work in many of the large cities OF
the United States.
Much good has resulted and much
more good will result from conven
tions held by the st. Vincent de Paul
Society for the purpose of making
known the extent and fruit of the
labors of the generous and self-sacri
firing followers of Frederic Ozanam
To attain to generally recognized
high place among charity workers we
must be ready to learn from those
who do not kneel with us at the same
altar or who give to the poor from
humanitarian impulses. In our every
day efforts for the relief of the de
pendent it is proper for us to CO
operate with various charitable agen
cies but when we come lSgether te
determine on the best methods te
accomplish the purposes of the St
Vincent de Paul Society we are suffi
cient unto ourselves In spiritual
work no sect or philanthropit
organization can be our teacher. We
can, however, benefit by an exchange
of ideas and by discussion of the
methods employed by Catholics in diff
ferent parts of this broad land. Ir
the United States we have already
had two international conferences. The
first was held at the Worlds Fair
st. Louis, in 1908; and the second al
Richmond, Va, in 1909, both of which
were attended by delegates from al
parts of the world.

THE POLES IN new ENGLAND
Farmers Day Held
at Massachusetts Agricultural
College.

Among the many nationalities that
are re-making New England none is
more interesting for many reasons
than the Poles says the Sacred
Heart Review. ITO Catholics, par
ticularly, inasmuch as the Poles are
as intensely Catholic as the Irish, the
progress in New England of the peo-
pie from the land of Kosciusko and
Pulaski should be matter for con-
graduation. As agricultural workers
the Poles are an interesting study.
The first annual Polish-American
Farmers Day held at the Massachu-
setts Agricultural College at Amherst,
March 81, brought fully 100 Polish
farmers from the surrounding coun-
try to the college in the morning to
hear the lectures. These were prac-
tical, and, if we may judge from the
Springfield Republicans report, in
Spring. They dealt with farming for
the most part, but there were wise
words spoken as well on the contribu-
tion of Poland to the building of the
American nation

LUTHER AND LUTHERAN|sM
English Version of IDENTIFIES Classic
Work Soon to be Issued by the
Rosary Press.

The Rosary Press under the direc-
ton of the Dominican Fathers of
Somerset, Ohio, has in preparation
an authorized English version of
Denife's immortal work on Luther
and Lutheranism." The translation is
being made by Father Albert Reinhart,
0. P, priest of the Dominican Order.
The first volume is on the press and
will be published shortly. The en-.
tire translation will embrace five
volumes, the volumes to be issued
in as quick succession as possible. The
first edition of the original German
work was exhausted in two months
and today it is considered by both
Catholic and Protestant scholars as
the final word on the Reformation,
and all admit that 1t is work OF
such worth and critical and scientific
value that it must be reckoned with
by any one who will in the future treat
OF either Luther or Lutheranism.

O'CONNELLA AND THE NEGRO RACE
EVEN TO HELP IRELAND HE
WOULD NOT FORGET THE
NEGRO.
Interesting Incident in the Career oi
The Great Liberator Recalled.

The following letter appeared re-
Gently in the columns of The American
Israelite. 1t is written by a Jewish
rabbi-Rev J. Koplowitz-and recalls
a glorious incident in the life of Daniel
O'Connell.
How akin the whole world is when
we find a Jewish rabbi quoting, in aid
of the prosecuted Jews of Russia, the
words of Catholic Irishman speak
ing in behalf of the colored race!
"Sir-In recent issue you cite the
following from the Outlook: eft is
only in Russia that military despotism
still rules; it is only the Russian Jew
that needs refuge. And it is not our
duty, nor even our right, to allow our
whole International policy to be de-
termined by sympathy for him.
"This sort of selfish and inhumane
patriotism may find an analogy in the
words of Kossuth. When the aboli-
tionists appealed to him, o, eloquent
son of the Magyar, come to break
chains, have you not word, no pulse
beat for four millions of negroes
bending under a yoke ten times
heavier than that of Hungary?' he ex-
claimed, I would forget anybody, l
would praise anything, to help Hun
gary!
"But, thank heaven, history has
furnished us with nobler characters
than Kossuth and the twentieth CEN
tury apostle of the Outlook
O'Connell! When, in 1880. O'Connell
first entered Parliament, the anti
slavery cause was weak O'Connell
came with one Irish member to sup
port him. A large party, the slave
party, went to him, saying, 'O'Con-
nell, at last you are in the House with
one helper-if you will never go down
to Freemason's Hall with Buxton and
Brougham, here are twenty-seven
votes for you on every Irish question
If you work with those abolitionists
count us always against YOU
1T was terrible temptation. How
many so-called statesman would
have yielded! O'Connell said, Gen
tlemen, God knows I speak for the
saddest people the sun sees; but may
my right hand forget its cunning and
my tongue cleave to the roof of my
mouth, if to help Ireland--even Ire
land-I forget the negro one single
/ hour
These memorable words of Ire
lands stoutest and noblest patriot
have the true ring, the echo of which
reverberates within the bosom b
each and every free man that sets
principle higher than money Did tht
| Outlook ever hear of O'Connell?'

100 YEARS OF TEMPERANCE
Presbyterian General Assembly Cele-
brates Anniversary of Its Decla-
ration for the Cause.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. To-day
marks the completion of the first
hundred years of temperance work
under the official direction of a gov
erning church body. 1t was on May
16, 1911, that a Presbyterian Gen
eral Assembly first authorized the
carrying on of a temperance propa-
ganda as a duty of the church. The
General Assembly, which convenes
here day after tomorrow, will set
apart day, next Tuesday, for the
observance of the centenary, and
Sunday school throughout the coun-
try are asked TO celebrate the ami
versary next Sunday, the occasion of
the quarterly temperance lesson.
DIR. Benjamin Rush of Philadel-
phia, signer of the declaration of
Independence and a noted scholar,
as well as a physician and a pro-
fessor of medicine in the University
of Pennsylvania, started the move
ment in 1888, when he published
''The Effects of Ardent Spirits on
the Human Mind and Body" and
it was the reading of this essay that
led the Presbyterian General Assem-
bly,, at its meeting century ago, to
declare for temperance.

date consideration:
The Secretary of Commerce and
Labor is requested to institute a
thorough and immediate investiga-

special reference to Sea Island cot
ton; the cost to the cotton producers
resulting from said cotton buyer
combination, and with suggestions
as to remedies, also with view to
criminally prosecuting parties COM
