YEATS AND HIS IRISH PLAYS,

Mr.. w. F.. Yeats with his Irish actors
is now in Boston representing to the
people Of that city so-called Irish
plays" which, according to all reports,
come as near to representing modern
Ireland as an Indian tepee demonstra-
ton would come to representing mod
ern America. Yeats has put on num-
erous plays in the Able Theatre in
Dublin where he disguised his own
countrymen in their own capital. The
objection offered to the plays that Mr..
stage is that they represent pagan
Ireland, not Ireland as it is today and
has been for centuries.
The Irish people have good reason
to condemn the Yeats productions. He
ia going before the American public,
purportng to be showing them Irish
plays-plays which represent Irish life
and customs-and naturally the Am
erican public will conclude that they
GU iS'i lllIl6 nun all authoritative
source what Ireland actually is today.
They will see depicted on the stage
scenes that are as foreign to modern
Ireland as they are to modern Amer
lea and from what they see they will
form their opinion of the country
which Mr.. Yeats and his proteges are
representing.
New York papers state that the
1rish-American societies of New York
City are up in arms against Yeats and
his false and inanc plays. At Il Joint
meeting a resolution was passed con-
demning the presentation on the AM
erican stage of the play which was SO
hostilely criticized in Dublin, 'The
Playboy Of the Western World" writ
ten by Synge. An attempt will be
made to prevent the production of this
play in New York. The play is not
representative of Irish life and not
ranked high by critics from the view
point of dramatic art
In America such unrepresentative
plays will do more harm than in Ire
land. They will give thousands of
people a false impression of the coun-
try, which false impression will be
accepted as genuine because most of
those who will see. the plays are tot
ally ignorant of Irish customs. 1t is
to be regretted that man of the cal
ibre of Mr.. Yeats chooses to put upon
the American stage dramas that are
mnartistic and unrepresentative Of Ire
land of today when there are many
ADLER productions from which he
might choose

WARS IN THE EAST.

simultaneously with the declaration
OF war between Italy and Turkey come
reports of a rebellion in China which,
If the reports published are correct,
has already reached serious propor-
lions and cost hundreds of lives. It
appears to be the hope of those be-
hind the revolutionary movement to
rout the old regime and establish re-
publican form of government. The
sleeping empire is awakening, but un-
fortunately it is awakening piece by
piece, instead of all parts at once. The
result is revolutionary atrocities in
stead Of an evolutionary change. The
revolution in China is premature. The

Mr.. Redmond is no blind optimist
who voices words with his lips and
tongue. that his ears may have the
delight of hearing them. He has the
reputation of not having INDUCED in
false prophecies and when we hear
from him the promise that Home Rule
is at hand we are prone to believe
what he says. 1t is good and well
come news and not based on wild
speculation. In the destruction of the
veto power of the House of Lords the
shoal on which the Home Rule hopes
of the past were stranded has been
dredged to a navigable depth and the
next Home Rule barge that sets out
on the once perilous course will have
plain sailing. 49,

TO DEDICATE FIELD
St. Thomas College Athletic Field
Formally Opened.


Formally Opened.
The new athletic field of the Col
]ege of ST. Thomas, Merriam Park,
which was fenced and equipped at a
cost of about $4,000 and which is one
of the largest and best College ath-
letic fields in the Northwest, is now
ready for the future athletic contests
of the students. AS we go to press
arrangements are in progress for the
formal opening on Friday of this
week.
A varied program has been arranged
with the game between Manchester and
Saint Thomas as the concluding event
Mayor Keller of ST.. Paul and other
prominent citizens are down FOX
speeches. The presidents of Carleton,
Hamline and Manchester colleges will
also speak. The corps of cadets will
present regimental parade and re-
view, and the entire 900 student-sol-
diers will be in line At stated inter-
walls during the afternoon the battery
will fire salutes.
The game between Manchester and
Saint Thomas will be the: final event
on the program. This game will have
much to do in deciding the state cham
pionship and the cadets are out to win.

RELIGION FOR HOME RULE!

The other day an English tory who
became, thought exhausted made the
remark that the Irish would give up
their. religiohf: for Home Rule, 1t is a.
rather senseless expression in view of
the fact that the same people were
willing to suffer all the atrocities that
English genius could devise rather
than give up their religion. Comment
ing on this remark Cardinal Logue
said in a recent sermon:
THE other day in England one of
their prominent politicians assured his
audience that the Irish people are
prepared to- give up their religion for
Home Rule. II suppose he expects to
have his forecast verified. And with
what arms Apes the Vicar Of Christ,
all the churches weighs SO heavily in
those days of stress and trouble, en-
counter the evils by which the faith
full are assailed? Happier
Gays, ! trust, are daWning for our
country: but, if they come, they must
come with the unclouded light of Gods
blessing Frightening their morning,
flashing on their noontide, and she'd
ding on their eve that rosy glow which
promises the calm of everlasting
peace; otherwise we will have none of
them. No, the Irish people will not
give up their religion for Home Rule.
Had they given up their religion in
the past, they would long since have
had Home Rule, or rather they would
have had no need of it. They would
have had at their back full partici-
patton in the emoluments, the honors,
the influence, and the glory of this
great empire"
In one word the Irish won't give up
their religion for Home Rule because,
In the first place, they have always
priced their faith above everything
else; and in the second place they are
going to get Home Rule without bar
tering off their religion for it.

the customs and traditions of the past
| a democratic form of government. 1t
may come eventually but not until the
people as whole become educated
in some degree to the new ideal.
While the newspapers have been
busy reporting the progress of the
rebellion in China they have also
given space to some ingenious specu-
lations as to the purpose of the Turko-
Italian war. They state that semi
official" information is to the effect
that Pope Plus x. is in league with
the Italian government in an attempt
to wrest Jerusalem and the Holy Land
from the Turk. The presumption is
that if Italy turns over the Holy Land
to the Catholic Church, the Pope will
accept the gift and forget all about
how the King of Italy wrested the
temporal power from the papacy. To
give color to the wild speculation it
is pointed out that report credits
the Holy Father with blessing the
Italian sailors before their departure
to the war.
The whole speculation bears the ear
marks Of gross absurdity. For several
months the Italian government has
been holding a celebration which is
scarcely more or less than an insult
to the Pope. That in itself is sufti-
cient proof that the Italian govern
ment and the Holy See are not in COL
fusion. And finally it is as far from
the mind of the meek patriarch of the
Vatican to cause the shedding of one
drop of blood in extending his king
dom as it is from the minds of the
Mohammedans to give back the Holy
Land to the Church.

When Bishop Koudellla was about
to leave Cleveland to take up his new
duties as Auxiliary Bishop OF Mil
Waulee, services were held in honor
of the departing prelate and a purse
of $4,000 was made up to be presented
to him. The Bishop thanked his peo-
pie for their kind offering but asked
them to spend the money to relieve
the suffering of the worthy poor in
the parish instead. He came to the
parish poor man, he said, and he
was willing to leave it with no other
riches than tho loyalty Of his people.

THREE LEADING PARTIES,

Seldom in the history Of the United
been seriously contested by more than
two parties. There have been numer-
Gus candidates in the field at the vari-
Gus elections, it is true, but aside from
the two leading candidates the others
simply ran to advertise the principles
for which their parties stood, or, per-
haps, themselves. How many people
can recall off hand, the name of the
prohibition candidate for president in
1908, or the name of the man whom
Hearst had in the field or the name
OF the Socialist leader, though the lat
ter is the habitual candidate of his
party? Few of them are known out
side their own limited circle of SYM
pathizers. But as the 1912 election
approaches the probability of there be-
ing three leading parties, or three
parties the candidates of any one of
which might capture the office of pres
ident of the United States, or at least
throw the election to the House of
Representatives assumes Importance.
There is decided split in the ranks
of the Republican party at the present
time, a split which future develop
ments will accentuatc rather than
heal. The progressives are pledged to
certain policies which are as strongly
opposed by the other element. The
TWO elements do not agree on. the tar
iff question: they are at wide variance
on questions affecting the control Of
monopoies: the recall of Judges is as
Violently opposed by one faction as it
is upheld by the other They disagree
on other questions of first Importance.
Now should the Republican nominat-
ing convention draft platform in
which resolution favoring the recall
of judges We're embodied, for example.
Mr.. Taft could not consistently be-
come it's candidate. On the other
hand. if the convention were to draw
trary to Mr.. I4aFolette's expressed
policies he could not consistently be-
come the party's standard bearer, If
the progressive Republicans gain suf-
ficient strength before the national
convention is held such contingencies
would be possible. Again, assuming
that the regulars will control the con-
vention, 1t would be no surprise to see
the LaFollette men bolt the convention
IL the strength of the LaFollette fol-
lowing is strong enough to warrant
such action. Or course many who
would favor LaFollette as leader of
the Republican party would be unwill-
ing to go to the extreme of boiling the
convention and yet, should the con-
vention be divided nearly half and half,
it would be a likely outcome.
Should such a contingency arise
and should all three candidates fail
to get a majority of the electoral votes
cast. which might easily happen, the
present House of Representatives
would elect president from the two
candidates receiving the largest num-
Der Of votes. In that event the next
president would in all probability be
a Democrat since the house is now
Democratic.
