LAND.

The Right Honorable Redmond
John Barry, recently appointed
Lord High Chancellor Of Ireland
by His Majesty, King George V, is
the third Catholic since the union

THE NEED OF "A RELIGIOUS
TRAINING.

The following extract from a
speech Of Arthur Balfour, the
English statesman, is significant of
the trend Of opinion among those
who have at heart the welfare of
the rising generation. They be-
lieve that the education needed
today must be carried on in a re-
lgious atmosphere He thinks
that the time will come when a
religious training will be given in
the elementary schools to the
children who attend them. In this
connection he says: IT hold it
dangerous for the State to ignore
the subject Of religious education,
and to treat it as matter not of
public but of private interest. But
I recognize the difficulty of dis
covering a satisfactory solution,
and consider that, if the State will
not provide one, it should at least
permit and encourage societies or
communities or individuals to do
what it declines to perform. Ger
tainly, for myself, I have always
looked forward to the time when
it will be possible to give in the
public elementary schools that re-
ligious teaching to every child or
to the great majority Of the chill
dren which the parents desire.
That, it seems to me, is the only
solution perfectly consistent with
the idea Of religious liberty, with
the idea of. parental responsibility,
and with the fundamental princi-
pie that it is a grave misfortune
for child to be brought up with
out any religious knowledge what
ever. I plead for solution which
will give us school system where
in it shall not be made difficult to
teach religion. But do not let us
frame our system SO as to pro-
duce the fantastic illusion that
there is such a thing as undog
matte religion. Let us frame it in
such a manner that the. legitimate
wishes Of the parent can be eff
fectively carried out in the case Of
the vast majority Of the children
Of this country

TEMPERANCE IN LABRADOR.

Practically no alcoholic liquors are
sold in Labrador, says DR.. Grenfeil,
not a licensed house exists. Thousands
of our fishermen are absolute abb
stainers on principle. We have not
one policeman stationed along the
whole coast, not one among $4,000
people. We have no penitentiary, and
there has not been, to my knowledge,
a conviction for drunkenness
Surely, in great fishing communi-
ty, amid extremes of cold, with little
variety in food, and that often poor,
this is a remarkable statement.
There is no need for liquor in
these subarctic climates" adds DR..
Grenfell "On the contrary, the first
man to 60 down in hard physical con-
ditions is almost always the drinking
man."

HENRY CLAY ON FATHER
MATHEW.

Henry Clay, in supporting the reso-
luton to honor Father Mathew with
a seat on the floor OF Congress, said:
1T is but merited tribute of re-
spect to a man who has achieved a
great social revolution-a revolution
in which no blood has been shed,
which has involved no dissolution; a
revolution which has been achieved
without violence, and a greater one,
perhaps, than has ever been accom-
plished by any benefactor Of man.

Thus Father Mathew was ac-
corded an honor never granted to a
foreigner up to that time, except the
gallant Lafayette. Two days later
President Fillmore entertained Father
Mathew at a dinner, at which were
present fifty Of Americas foremost
citizens

During his Swing round the
circle" President Taft visited the
st. Louis University in company
with Archbishop Glennon of ST..
Louis, and made brief speech to
the six thousand football fans who
had gathered on the University
campus to witness the first game
between the st. Louis University
and Shurtleff College.
He also visited Nazareth Acad-
envy, Michigan, which is under the
direction Of the Sisters Of st. Jo-
seph. In his address he said among
other things: IT understand the
great tenet Of the Catholic Church
is loyalty to constituted authority
and love of country. The great
welcome which I have received at
this notable institution of learning
shows that, instead Of love of
Church and interest in the Church
being inconsistent with the love of
country and the interest Of the ma
ton, the better Catholic you are
the better American you are. I do
not doubt that the Sisters are
building character in the students
of this great school to make them
good and useful citizens in every
way, and congratulate them upon
the success Of their work, and wish
this institution God-speed in every
one Of its departments. =

At the request Of His Eminence
Cardinal Gibbons the ordinance
declaring Monday, October 16, a
municipal holiday in honor Of his
double jubilee was laid on the
table at the recent meeting Of the
Baltimore City Council. AS soon
as the Cardinal learned Of the pro-
posal to grant a holiday in his
honor he begged the members of
the City Council to reconsider
their action and withdraw the
resolution. The reasons he gave
for this request were: First, it
might not be acceptable to the
parents Of thousands of children
attending the schools who would
be released from discipline and
spend the time in idleness; second
the business interests of the city
might be interfered with; third
many of the laboring class would
be thrown out Of employment and
would lose the days wages.

SATURDAY. OCT. 2, 1911.

The October grand jury began
it's sessions in St. Paul this week.
There is not single Catholic name
on the list of grand jurors. 1t
would be interesting to know the
reason for this omission in a city
which is at least fifty per cent
Catholic. Is it possible that those
whose duty it is to prepare the
list believed that there was not
a single Catholic business man in
St. Paul worthy to serve the public
in this capacity? Who is to blame
for this state of affairs? The Cath.
Olics?

REPUBLICAN TRIUMPH" IN
PORTUGAL.

When the Provisional Govern
ment Of Portugal assumed the
reins Of power a year ago, after the
Punishment Of King Manuel, it
showed no disposition to 60 to the
people for ratification Of its ac-
ton. This was practical confes-
sion Of the insecurity Of it's posi-
ton. If it were convinced Of their
sympathy and support it would
not have postponed the general
election as long as it did. When
the appeal to the country was
finally made after eight months Of
waiting the result was victory
for the republican form Of govern
ment that had supplanted the mon
archy.
In not a few quarters surprise
was manifested that the people Of
Portugal who had lived so long
under monarchical form Of gov
eminent, should have expressed
such a unanimous verdict in favor
of republican regime. Not sin
gle monarchist was elected to the
Portuguese parliament
1t is needless to say that this
was not the result Of the free
choice Of the people Of Portugal.
During the eight months that in
tervened between the establish
ment Of the republic and the gen
eral election, the government had
not been idle. It was sowing the
seeds Of republicanism throughout
the country; and, lest there should
be any doubt about the result of
it's appeal to the electorate, it pass
ed law the primary purpose of
which was to destroy the free
choice Of the people and insure a
victory for the new form of gov.
eminent. The most important fea-
ture Of this law was a pro.
vision that the names Of all candi.
dates for parliament must first be
submitted for approval to the gov.
eminent itself. Under this enact.
ment thousands of names Of pros
pective candidates were struck of
the list by the government officials
Is it any wonder, then, that none
but supporters Of the republican
form Of government were elected
to represent the people in parlia
ment? The friends Of the old con
stitutional monarchy refused tt
vote at all rather than do violence
to their convictions by voting fol-
the republican candidates.
With these facts before us it il
readily seen that the result Of the
general election in Portugal was
not such a triumph for the gov
eminent as the world has been lee
to believe. There was no free ex
preston Of popular wishes. Vic
tory for the government was as
sured before the polls opened; anc
the measures taken to stultify thu

DOMAIN OF TEMPERANCE.
FATHER MATHEW.

Can Anniversary Poem)
Thy festal day is here, Helper and
Friend
OF many torn on life's sore pilgrim
age
Priest Of the God Incarnate, with
strong hands
Uplifting from the dust, as He was
wont,
Downtrodden sinners dying in des-
pair
The past unveils thy monument. We
feel
Thy power redemptive-see the man
who wrought
At home, abroad, imperishable good.
For Jew and Gentle were alike thy
care,
Deflowered, defiled, slain by one COM
mon sin.
The past unfolds-we see thy early
shrine,
The staggering victims of hell-bred
plague
Reel from their drunken dens into thy
sight;
And 10! the cross is shining in thy
hand
Above the kneeling hamlet, and thy
Shifting an ancient curse, as Michael's
sword
Flashed in the fields of heaven when
the fiend
Opposed to God rebellious insolence.
Once, more thy voice swells on the
trembling air:
Behold the demons work-your hap
less homes
Your mothers bow in grief-your Or
phans wall
to shame,
And sons, all sense of manhood slain
Wallow in drunken cesspools of their
sires..
Swear by the ruin that this fiend has
wrought
Your trampled wives, your children
clad in rags,
Your blasted hopes and dreams of
honor dead,
Swear by Gods image in your souls
| defaced,
That nevermore the fatal glass will
yield
For parent lips the sparkling draught
of hell"
The hamlet swears the oath,-aye,
hundreds more
From vale to vale thy native hills
among,
And far beyond the Emerald Isle tbs
sworn
In Britain's purlieus, Scotia's dens of
death,
And where, alike in guilt and peni-
tence,
Columbia's children watch beside the
wave.
Five million pledges! God! what man
may do
A. single soul athirst for righteous
ness
What may he not achieve for earth
and heaven!
i Such was of old the great Apostle,
Paul
Who brought the pearl of price to all
mankind;
Or he who braved a thousand leagues
of sea,
The unknown, billowy depths, and
gained a world;
Or he who prayed in gloomy Valley
Forge
While freezing night benumbed his
bleeding train,
And saw above the fields of stained
i. snow
The high, white, star of freedom shin
ing fair.
So runs the bead-ro1l of undying fame,
And such thy brethren are-that
galaxy
Wherein we gaze with awe, saint,
hero, sage,
Immortal lamps lit by the torch of
4 heaven,
Star-dials on our thorn-set pilgrimage,
That point through darkness to a
grander day.

NO MUNICIPAL NOISE
ON INDEPENDENCE DAY.
July Fourth to Be More Safe
and Sane.

Newark's city fathers have learned
at last the folly of giving a fiery ceIe-
bration on the part of the city on July
4 and at the same time restraining
the population from indulging in the
danger of fireworks. : Accordingly the
Fourth of July committee of the Com
mon Council decided last night to
abandon the time-honored customs of
in the evening of Independence Day.
Incidentally. the only fatality last
year occurred at the city celebration
when a bomb exploded prematurely
and a man vas instantly killed.
Instead of this Newark safe and
sane" celebration of the Fourth is to
be by municipal din. So far
as the general public is concerned the
ban upon fireworks has been made
more strict than on last year.
The usual morning exercises will be
held in the Newark Theatre. at which
it is proposed to have an elaborate
program arranged for the entertain
ment of the public, and in the after
noon and evening there will be band
concerts in all the public parks. For
those who live a distance from the
parks the committee will make ar
rangements to furnish music to them
in the several city Fairgrounds, at
which the best vocal talent will be
heard, which, the committee thinks, will
provide sufficient enjoyment for all and
give the residents of every section of
the city an opportunity to enjoy the
day.

WE'RE ARTISANS; LET'S NOW
BE ARTISTS, SAYS T. r.
Colonel Addresses 5000 at Uni
yerSity of California.

BERKELEY, Cal, March 24.-Oyer
5000 college students and invited
guests greeted Colonel Roosevelt this
morning in the Greek theatre on the
University of California grounds when
he delivered the annual Charter Day
address. The address was an eloquent
plea for higher education which had
no. monetary return in view. Roose-
welt grew genuinely eloquent when he
pleaded for the development of scholar
ly spirit which would result in achieve
ments In literature, art and science in
this country which would equal our
achievements in material things.
President Wheeler introduced the coll
onel as follows: 1.-THE office of the
tribune of the people is not limited to
two elections. l present to you Colonel
Roosevelt" Cheers and the college
yell greeted the speaker.
The colonel opened his remarks by
facetious. reference to the African bull
elephant which he promised the uni
versity. He said 1t was being ex-
amined at the Smithsonian Institute
with the leisurely minuteness that APP
peals to the scientific mind" but he
added that 1t was now ready for ship
ment west.
Colonel Roosevelt in his address de-
veloped the central idea that we had
now subdued all the new country and
hat we s.iould turn from material to
intellectual things. He Shove that
the purely military and leading nations,
the Carthaginians and Phoenicians
had left no trace on history, -'hereas
the Greeks and Romans, by works in
literature and art and Jurisprudence,
were a vital force today and impreg-
mated all modern thought. He declared
that two American achievements which
Europe today found noteworthy were
the digging of the Panama Canal and
the sending OF the battleship feet
around the world.
