CONTINENTAL CONGRESS
TO THE PEOPLE OF IRELAND
o the Editor Of THE TIMES:

To the Editor Of THE TINES:
In Mondays issue. October 30. Mr..
James McDonagh quotes from Wash.
irgton's address to his Catholic fellow
citizens-and II may here be pertinent
to briefly quote from an address OF the
twelve Union Colonies Of North Amer
lea in 1775 by the representatives In
Congress:
ITO the people Of Ireland, which. be-
Ing read and debated, was agreed to-"
And here permit US to assure you
that II was with the utmost reluctance
we could prevail upoa ourselves to cease
our commercial connection with your
island.
.sYour parliament had done US no
wrong. You had ever been friendly to
the rights OF mankind. and we acknowl-
edge with pleasure and gratitude that
your nation has prcduced patriots VINO
have nobly DISTINGUISHED themselves In
Accept our most grateful acknowi-
edgements for the friendly disposition
you have always shown toward US. We
know that you are not without your
your distress. and are pleased to find
that the design Of subjugating us has
persuaded the administration to dis
pense to ireland some vagrant rays Of
ministerial sunshine"
Nor aid Congress stop there. for the
address in full contains about 500 words

ment and the people Of Ireland that

he might have applied his universal
genius to the contrivance of an adorn-
ment which would meet the needs of
the women of the day. Da vinci was
astonishingly skillful az an architect,
q sculptor, a painter, and in practically
every other branch of human activity
as 1t was known at that time. Diving
bells and flying machines were among
the very toys he turned out. Nothing
short of such genius could have de.
vised a bonnet which would have won
q lasting place in feminine affection,
but perhaps he could have done IL.
Left to hands less skillful one can
only wonder what the new bonnet is
to be like. We can only hope that It
will approach as near as possible the
headgear of the Gioconda herself
whose only covering was her we'll

VIII you give me space in The Times
to echo sentiment Of approval that
seems to be unanimous In Catholic cir
cles. over the refusal Of Rome to eIe-
,vate Archbishop Ireland to the College
Of Cardinals? Ireland has been the
most audacious and offensively partisan
Republican In the Roman Catholic
hierarchy. Time and egain he has Of
Tended Catholics who happen to dis
agree with him In his advocacy of the
principles OF the Republican party,
which have enriched the few and Inn
poverished the many. He In objected
to not so much because he is preach
Ing an unsound political doctrine, but
because of his high position In the
church. which gives to his IDEAS undue
Importance and prominence, calculated
to deceive the unthinking and unwary
citizen. who Is either too busy or too
ignorant to study political and econo-
mical questions himself. He has as
sumed. in his high position in the
church. to dictate and advise its COM
municants how to cast their votes in
Presidential elections, and always for
the Republican candidate. Just after

Know Nothings were prophets, ahead OF

saved this nation it's vicious immigration

be sad day when Protestant American
free institutions of separation of church
and state are Romanized into hierarchi-
cal absolutism of mixed government of
church and state. as history shows 1t
has been of all papal states from their
beginning. and recently, witness France
and Portugal shaking off the shackles OF
the pernicious influence of mixed gov
ernment of church and state, and in the
throes of which even Spain Is throbbing
and shaking. What they are trying to

Masons are not entitled to Government
time in ungovernmental matters. and
Co more in building their temples than
Protestant and non-Frotestant in erect
ing their churches. 1t Is true that the
Masonic order Is not a church or re-
lfgious order, being, as 1t is, open to all
creeds and attached to none. Therefore.
1t is true. also. that the giving OF Cow
ernmAnt time to the Masons for such
purposes is In no wise mixing of church
and state in government. Nevertheless,
1t involves the principle OF eronorny,
and Is had precedent, in that any fra
ternal society may hereafter demand
exception In the society of the Knights
Of Columbus. for It Is religious and

by priests for church ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
The Government, therefore, in giving it's

AND NOW COMES THEMoNNA
LISA BONNET.

Every current event which attains
worldwide Importance is more than
apt to find certain passing immor-
tality, as the Irish would say, by hav-
ing a hat named after it. The Empire
and Consulate, for example, may even
give an impress upon the whole range
of fashion, in gowns, in furniture, and
even in architecture.
1t was rather to be expected, there
fore, that the theft of the Monna Lisa
would soon give occasion to the crea
tion of a new style bearing the name
of the winsome, mysterious woman
upon whose countenance the brush of
Leonardo left the ineffable smile. Just
what is to be the size and shape of
this new bonnet has not yet been made
clear on this side the water-for, of
course, the creation is to come from
the other side. One can only hope
that it will be something in the nature
of an improvement over the Persian
turbans and Tapping sugarloafs which
are doing temporary service as head
gear.
II the painter of the Monna Lisa
had only anticipated the Importance
which feminine headgear would attain
