MARTIN I. j. GRIFFIN.

The Catholic Church In America lost
valiant champion and a worthy son
in the death of Martin I. J. Griffin.
Mr. Griffin was a man who rose from
the ranks by his own efforts to a
leading place among the Catholic jour-
lists of America He has occupied
important positions on a number of
the leading Catuolic papers in the
United States and through his writ
ings made himself known to the great
body of Catholic people on this con-
tinent as we'll as to thousands of PEG.
pie of other creeds. 1t was as an au.
thority on the history of the Catholic
Church in America that Mr. Griffin ex
cell He wrote much on this sub
ject which was the result of life
time of investigation and research.
Mr.. Griffin was particularly fitted
for just such work. He was a search
er after facts. 1t did not matter
whether the fact was of great or lit
tie Importance, he wanted to be Ger
tain of the authority on which it was
given. ne hunted down many of the
stories purporting to be history, which
go the rounds of the Catholic press
often showing that they had no foun
dation. He had a remarkable faculty
for tracing them to their origin and
not unfrequently his researches re-
suited in pricking a little bubble OF
honor claimed for Catholic priest OF
an Irishman. His accuracy In details
has caused him to be recognized as d
leading authority on Catholic history
in America.
He was an Irish-American who was
a credit to his Church and his race
He was not so old a man but that ii
was hoped he would be spared fol-
many years to carry out in greater de-
tail the work he loved SO we'll. But
the call came and he laid down his
pen. His life affords a good example
for his successor to initiate but hard
example for even the best to follow
May he rest in peace.

that and at no time more clearly than
on his recent trip.
PROTESTANT AscENDANcY.

About seventy-three per cent of the
population of Ireland is Catholic. That
means that twenty-seven per cent, or
a little more than one-fourth, of the
population is non-Catholic. Now the
Catholic majority is strongly in favor
iof Home Rule, but the Protestant min
ority is opposed to it on the ground
that if Ireland were to have her own
government they being in the minori-
ty might possibly be deprived of their
rights. They don't want Home Rule
because that would mean the rule of
the majority and they do not consti-
tute the majority. In other words,
they do not care what kind of govern
ment Ireland has so long as they can
do the governing.
Look at the inconsistency of the
argument They are fighting to pre-
vent the majority from having their
way because they fear that if the will
of the majority is carried into effect
they, the minority, will not have their
way. They are practicing most Wig
orously just the thing they fear the
Catholics may practice If they come
into power. AS. Mr.. Birrell said in a
recent speech, Nothing but the spirit
of Protestant ascendancy has pre-
vented Home Rule being passed a long
time ago."
| It is to be regretted that unscrupu-
lous politicians will persist in drag
ging religious issues into politics
They do no good and only serve to
accentuate religious animosities. If
Ireland were self.governing country
today there is not the slightest reason
to think that religion would form a
basis for political divisions on ques-
tons in which religious considerations
did not enter. And to prevent reli-
gious considerations from becoming a
basis for political divisions there will
be ample opportunity for making pro-
vision in the Home Rule bill. If that
is not showing due consideration to
one-fourth minority it is hard to con-
ceive what due consideration means.

UTILIZING THE MINUTES.

Most people find that they can do
a great deal more than they are in the
habit of doing if called upon by neces-
sity to exert themselves 1t is not
human nature to strive unless neces-
!sity forces the strife. The best time
is made in races when, other things
being equal, the competitors are most
!evenly matched. The student in
school who is taking three subjects
thinks he could not possibly take five,
while a student of no greater capac-
lily for work who is taking five sub
Ijects thinks how easy his course
would be If he had to take only three.
And so it goes. Doing work is much
like spending money, the more we
nave the more we can go through.
Everyone has more or less leisure
which may be utilized for a purpose,
or simply wasted. BY that we do not
mean that devoting an hour to rec
reation is wasting time Recreation
and amusement are as necessary for
the average person as food. But there
are other hours spent which are nei-
Their given to recreation nor amuse-
ment, but which seem long and dull
because they are not filled with &C.
tivity. II we would only stop to think
that 1t Is activity of the proper kind
which constitutes happiness we could
avoid many of the dull hours which
we have to kill"
During the winter season in partic-
ular the long evenings are often found
to be dull. This can be avoided large
ly by cultivating a taste for some kind
of work which can be taken up dur
ing leisure moments. If one were to
spend fifteen minutes day in the
tudy of a subject he would be sur
prised at the amount of ground that
can be gotten over in year. If one
We're to take up the general subject
Of history, or the history of his ma.
tive state, or the history of the Cath
olic Church In America, he would be
surprised at the amount Of pleasure
there Is to be derived from the &C.
emulation of such useful knowledge
as we'll as at the breadth OF view the
accumulation of the knowledge would
give. There are any number of sub.
iects that might he taken I'M nor,
son who is interested in literature
might spend his leisure time profitably
perusing good books. or he might take
up some department of literature, as
fiction, poetry, the short story, etc.,
depending on his inclinations.
What the world regards as geniuses
are commonly men who made the
hours that are wasted by the average
person count in the mastery of their
science Or art.

STILL THE RELIGIOUS QUESTION.

One by one the arguments against
Home Rule disappear, but as they do
the old bugbear about Catholic intol-
erance seems to be utilized as gen.
eral filler for the voids made by the
others. The Protestant Bishop of Os-
sorry now has visions Of the Catholics
under Home Rule taking back by force
all the Church property of which they
were wrongfully deprived in centuries
past. 1t must be admitted that this
clergyman follows rather ingeni-
the fact that there is no Catholic
Cathedral in Dublin. The principal
Catholic church in that city Is called
a Pro-Cathedral Here's the rub, at
least so thinks the Protestant clergy
man. The fact that the Catholics have
not built q cathedral In Dublin leads
the Reverend gentleman to infer that
they have designs on their ancient edi-
flee which was taken from them dur
ing the reign of Henry VIII. The
Archbishop Of Dublin commenting on
this absurd inference remarks:
''Now l must confess my amaze
ment that at this time OF day any man
of education, and of knowledge of the
world in general, and of Dublin in par
ticular, can be found to entertain ap-
ahaY11 1tP ncf1 Nv n
as these. l could understand unscrup-
ulous politicians setting up such a
DOGGY, with the view Of damaging by
an appeal to English Protestant senti-
ment the cause of Home Rule In Ire
land. But l have the pleasure of be-
ing personally acquainted with the
new bishop, gentleman and scholar as
he Is, to whose statement l am refer
ring, and am as convinced that he is
incapable of being influenced by any
such motive. as l trust I am justified
in saying that 1 am incapable of it
myself"
The whole cry is groundless. 1t is
USED ny politicians who realize that It
Is nn easy matter to engender reli-
gious prejudice and very difficult
matter to root it out. 1t does not re-
quire arguments to awaken it, insinu-
ations will do the work, but neither
insinuations nor the strongest logical
arguments can root it out entirely.
The much touted fear Of Catholic as
tendency in Ireland is used as a sub
terfuge for furthering political ends.
Those who make use of it know that
Il is meaningless and yet they unhesi-
tatingly employ it with the hope of

Church would be changed to any re-
markable extent. If an Irish Amer

throne of the Vatican it would not

that the traditional routine of the
Vatican would be seriously altered.

In spite Of the fact that President

increasing the navy by the addition of
