THE PITY OF IGNORANCE.

Il is with pity, not rancor, that
every tolerant man and woman in
the United States will regard the
spirit of intolerance that showed
its head at meeting of the General
Assembly of the Southern Presby-
terrain church in this city last
Monday evening. The mover OF
resolutions denouncing the Roman
Catholic church as a menace to civil
and religious liberty went little
beyond himself. He also said that
history would show his statements to
be true. The preachers remarks
came as climax to the tercentenary
celebration of the King James
Bible.
Where would the English speaking
people Of the world today had a
Bible were it not for the Catholic
church? Who guarded the Bible,
who made the arts and sciences
popular and kept them alive in the
so-called dark ages? Who provided
education in Europe when it was
overrun by the Goths, the Huns and
the Danes?
The Catholic church.
Who discovered America? The
Catholic Christopher Columbus,
financed by Ferdinand and Isabella,
the Catholic King and Queen Of
Spain. Catholic warriors, fired by
the zeal of st. Bernard, fought the
Crusades that prevented Moham-
mechanism from overspreading Eu-
rope. When the spirit of religious
and civil intolerance ran riot in New
England the Catholic Lord Baltimore
and his colony established a seat of
religious and civil liberty in Mary
land. Sullivans, Waynes, Murphys
and Barrys are numerous in the war
of the Revolution, and what signer
of the Declaration of Independence
had more at stake than Carroll of
Carrollton? When Jackson fought
at New Orleans in the war of 1S12-15
his ablest supporters were the Jasper
Greens, a regiment of Irish Cath
olics. There were Catholic soldiers
as we'll as Catholic leaders like Gems.
Shields and Phil Kearney in the
Mexican war. What American is
there who would detract from the
fame of a Sheridan, a Rosecrans, a
Corooran and his gallant Sixty-ninth.
or of a Cleburne and a Beauregard
during the civil war?
Would this pitiful Presbyterian
say that Father Abram Ryan was
foe to civil and religious liberty
because he gave to the people of the
South 1.-THE Conquered Banner"
All the Presbyterians are not to
be censured for the offenses or mis-
takes Of few.

wholesome, rollicking show, the
kind that makes oze forget troubles
and starts one out with a new lease
on life.
1t will not 40 to particularize on
the stars, because each boy and girl
was a star in his or her part. Miss
Abbie Chester, as the leading lady
was as dainty and winsome as ever
Yet she was generous enough to d.
vide honors with Miss Lama Long
and Miss Bertha Cohn. They were a
trio of American beauties that would
attract attention anywhere.
Thomas ID. Clines, Aulyn Kanston,
Louis Kieffer, Patrick King, George
Kieffer and Adolphus Andriott had
the leading male roles and each &C
quilted himself admirably. The
great interest centers around the
prize fight at the close of the first
act. Women and children get ex-
cited and hold their breath until
this scene is over.

We are all more or less prone to
pity poor Ireland. but why? Ireland
has little material prosperity, no
national freedom, but she has the
grandest heritage in the world, an
unbroken possession of the true
faith. While England and the
United States reek with the weeds
of divorce and others :crms Of
Mormonism, Ireland proudly refuses
them a root in her soil. Do not pity
her then; admire her. for her glories
are the eternal glories that can never
fade.

MIR. BRYAN'S COMMENT.

St Paul. Minn.. June When shown the Associated Press report of the action of the democratic caucus on the wool schedule. William J. Bryan this morning gave out the fol- lowing statement;
 The democrats of congress are responsible to their country and their constituents and it remains to be seen whether their action will be endorsed. The brief report I have seen shows that the matter was fought upon a false basis and I shall be mistaken if the public is deceived by the pre- tense that it is levied for revenue.
 The tax on wool would never be thought of but for the protective ben eft it is supposed to bring to wool growers. l think the party would have done better if it had honestly stated its reasons and declared itself in favor of protection to that extent"

 While direct reference to Bryan by name was not made by Chairman Un- derwoOd or others who spoke during the day in favor of the 70 per cent duty. they replied to the free wool democrats by pointing out the absolute necessity for small duty on raw wool

A BAcK-BREAKING RIDER.
A Purpose to Overload the Reciprocity
 Bill

Washington. Jute "A crisis in the nate fight on Canadian reciprocity is expected to be reached when the demo- cratic farmers free list bill is offered as an amendment to the bill carrying the agreement into effect. That such an amendment will be offered for the purpose of embarrassing the democratic supporters of reciprocity seems certain. It is toward this critical contingency that President Taft just now is de- voting his attention. He is holding daily conferences at the White House in an effort to keep republicans and democrats alike in line for the pact.
 President Taft is certain that the re- ciprOcity bill will pass the senate by a comfortable majority if it can be brought to a final vote without amend ment He feels that the test for the true friendss of reciprocity will come in dealing with the proposed amend mentS to be offered from the floor. NIT. Taft recently had assurances that the bill would be reported out of the finance committee without amendment and without recommendation. This is what he desires.
