1AEr,s CANDIDACY.

President Taft has announced his
candidacy for the Republican nomin-
alton in an authorized interview
which appeared in recent issue Of
the Outlook" In the course of this
interview the President said:
II am very grateful for the honors
the people have given me. do not
affect to deny the satisfaction
should feel If, after casting up the
totals pro and con, and striking a
balance, they should decide that my
first term had been fruitful enough
Of good to warrant their enlisting
me for another Any man would be
proud of such a verdict. But 1 have
not been willing, nor shall l be, to
purchase 1t at the sacrifice of my free
dom to do my duty rs see 1t. My
happiness is not dependent on hold
ing any Office; and l shall go back to
private life with no heartburnings If
the people, after an unprejudiced re-
view of my administration, conclude
that some one else can serve them to
their greater advantage"
While, of course, there is nothing
surprising in this announcement, since
it has long been known that the
President would seek second term,
yet there is in it significant note.
Mr.. Taft Is not afflicted with over
confidence. He is not certain that
when the totals pro and con are
taken there will be a balance in his
favor. His statement has none of
the Rooseveltian big-stick flavor 1t
sounds like a candid statement. While
1t Is true that the President has not
proven very popular with the mass
of the people, still If he was actuated
at all times by desire to do his duty
as he saw it he must be given credit
for his integrity. And yet it is hard
to reconcile his utterances on the
tariff question with this statement

advantage of the ignorance Of the
people when they themselves are bust
ly trying to~delude the people into the
belief that Socialism is a panacea for
all the ills of our present form of gov
eminent.
Socialism. is the most illogical of
theories, II It may be called a theory
at all. The out and out Socialist is a
budding anarchist He has little or
no respect for established authority,
he puts no trust in the ruling class.
Debs says, Professors, pulpiteers and
politicians, While pretending to edu-
cate the people, are the chosen in
strumentalities of the ruling class to
keep their subjects in darkness and
slavery" That is typical declara-
ton of a typical Socialist. According
to it we have no honest men in the
professions or in politics. And yet,
in spite of the corruption they COM
plain of and the number of dishonest
and corruptible men they speak Of,
they promise system which will rev.
olutionize all this and give us an ideal
| form of government in which the "peo-
pie" will rule. No matter how much
power the people have, corruption will
exist as long as corruptible men are
placed in office. And who will say
that Socialist is less corruptible
than a Republican or Democrat?
Or who will say that there will be less
incentive for corruption under So
| cialistic regime than there Is now?
They win their disciples by offering
f1attering, but impossible things.
Gompers does we'll to oppose the
encroachment of Socialism in labor
organizations. All labor organizations
would do we'll to oppose this menace
to the countrys welfare. Let US not
be fiattered into supporting theories
which are impossible of realization
and nothing more nor less than sug-
AIRED nonsense

DANIEL O'CONNELL
Catholic Emancipation Was Produc4
of His Effort,

Of His Effort.
The last issue of American Cath
Ole Historical Researches which was
prepared by the late Martin I. J. Crit
fin, contains the following interesting
tribute to O'Connell:
The Irish Shield and Monthly Mile
sian of New York, April, 1929, Vol. 1,
p. 100, in speaking of Catholic Eman-
cipation, George Pepper, Editor, said:
English Justice, aroused from it's
torpid trance of ages by the loud clank-
ing of those CALLING chains of oppres-
sion, which have corroded the very
sinews and gangrened the very flbres
OF Erin's heart, has, at length, in the
terms of her fears, annihilated the
hydra of exclusion and thrown open
the gates Of that Constitution, which
was extorted from King John by Ro-
man Catholics, to Catholic Ireland.
O'Connell, the great architect of that
impregnable fortress Of consolidated
opinion and unanimity-the Irish
Catholic Association, is the Orpheus
whose harp has charmed and lulled
the Cerberus of prejudice to an inter-
minable repose in the temple Of Con-
cord. The professors, in England and
Ireland, of the creed of the Messiah
of saints and sages-of heroic mon-
sarchs-the Napoleons, the Alfreds, the
Brians and the Edwards, will never
again be alarmed or intimated by the
horrid growl of the monster. The
Upas-tree Of Discord, whose roots
poisoned the soil, and whose branches
diffused pestilence through the moral
atmosphere Of our native land, has
fallen beneath the Herculean axe of
Daniel O'Connell, with tremendous
crash, that has appalled, Intolerance
and Orangeism. Bigotry and her bale

horizon; the Sun of Justice, rising

THE MCNAMARA CASE.

The confession of the Mcnamara
brothers that they are guilty Of blow
| ing up the Los Angeles Times build
ing, put an unexpected ending to a
trial which promised to be one of
the greatest criminal trials ever held
in this country. 1t was terrible adj
mission for any one to make. To plan
the destruction of newspaper plant
and to destroy the lives of more than
a score of innocent persons in exc
cutting the cold-blooded and nefarious
plan is one Of the blacklist deeds in
the history of crime. 1t is hard to
understand how men who We're so
desperately criminal would weaken
and confess their awful deed when
confronted by the penalty which by
their act they knowingly detled.
The Mcnamara case is bad blow
to labor organizations. AS these con-
fessed criminals were prominent in
labor union circles, the natural infer
ence which will be made is that the
men who belong to labor organizations
are anarchistic at heart. And those
who are opposed to organized labor
will continue to remind the unions of
the San Francisco case. 1t means
not only a setback for labor unions,
but what is worse, 1t means that
there will be prejudice against them
which 1t will be difficult to, remove.
And yet the confession of the Grim
inals in this case Is most fortunate
solution. Had they been convicted 1t
would be difficult for the people at
large, and particularly the people who
We're in sympathy with them, to be
convinced of the fairness of the trial.
The Socialists were backing up the
Mcnamara defense and had the Grim.
inals been convicted by due process
of law, unless the evidence was so
apparent as to make doubt impossible
there would result a howl among the
Socialists which would gain hearing
among many people. The cry would
go up that the prosecution and convic.
tion was the result of conspiracy OF
capital against labor and the Socialist
party would thrive on the bait
That this terrible crime can be
associated with organized labor be-
cause the confessed perpetrators were
labor leaders. is, too bad. Labor

This should be strong argument
for Irish Home Rule. If self-govern-
ment then was so much q. boon to the
country which has since become i'm

that self-government was the cause

UNDER eRArTAN's PARLIAMENT

UNDER GRAT TAN'S PARLIAMENT.
If the prosperity of Ireland under
Grattan's Parliament may be taken
as criterion of the effect Home Rule
will have on the country, it must be
conceded that the country has hal
cyon days ahead. Historians concede
that during the years of that men,

time. In her history Of this period
Miss Murray of the London Univer-
sity writes:
Ruined factories sprang into life,
and new ones were built. The old
corn mills, which had ceased working
so long, were everywhere busy. The
population of the towns began to in
crease. The standard OF living among
the artisan class rose, and even the
condition of the peasantry changed
slightly for tie better. Dublin, in
stead of being sunk in decay, assumed
the appearance OF thriving town. In
fact, the Independent Irish legisla-
ture set itselfto promote the material
prosperity of the country in every pos
sible way, and there Is no doubt its
efforts had much to say to the really
surprising commercial progress which
was made from 1880 until the years
Immediately preceding the Union. The
Irish fisheries became the envy and
admiration of Great Britain, and agri-
culture increased rapidly. Various
manufactures in Ireland began to
thrive, the manufacture Of hats, Of
boots and shoes, Of candles and soap.

It's a pity that two such men and

One of the first fruits of self-gov-
eminent in Ireland, said John Red
mond in speech before the London
Liberal club, will be now, as in 1872,
and wherever you have extended self
government, a revival of industrial
prosperity in many directions. Al
ready, in the present circumstances,
there is a revival in Ireland. Little
factories are being started, and bet
ter methods are being employed in
various walks of industrial endeavor.
But these are comparatively small and
unimportant, and until you have a
native government, composed of men
who live in the ct-Intry and who
understand the country, and, above
all, who can give all their time to the
country's service, you will never have
these great questions, such as cheap
transit--which lies at the bottom of
all industrial questions in Ireland
you will never have questions of that
kind settled, and, therefore, it is hope
less to expect that Ireland can raise
herself from the slough Of Industrial
dependency until you have granted
to her own sons, in their own way, on
their on soil. and with their own fit
ness and knowledge, the right to man
age their own affairs.

Governor Cole Blease of South Car
DINA in public speech following a
lynching which took place in that
state lauded the mob violence by
which the law was thwarted. He is
quoted as saying, "1f the mob had
not acted as it did I would have been
greatly disappointed" AS if that
statement were not strong enough, he
added that rather than prevent the
lynching, he would resign his office
and lead the mob himself. When a
man who is sworn to execute the laws
of state can be so easily and COM

it is time that the people ceased to
