ARCHB'P SPALDING
Gives Views Of tho Needs and lntlu.
ence of the Catholic Press.

AfCllDlSnOp JOnn Lancaster SpaId-
ing, in recent article contributed to
the Christian Year, the new Catholic
paper of the Diocese of Covington,
Kentucky, referring to the influence Of
the press says:
Efforts to stimulate and arouse our
Catholic people to more spiritual
life, whether intellectual moral or
religious, deserves the approval and
cooperation Of allss.who are capable
&. t;lsi,ss ., geu,us ss sAs'4a 4a.terest in !. the
welfare of the Church ana the Repub-
lie.
Our doctrines and practices are so
defined and fixed that there is an al
most Irresistible temptation to accept
and follow them mechanically, and
consequently to miss their vital and
educational influence. Conformity
comes to be considered the chief and
all-important religious duty, and when
we comply in a perlunctory way with
ecclesiastical rules and requirements
we consider ourselves practical Cath
olics. But true religion is life and
thought and love and ceaseless striv-
ing for deeper insight and more un-
selfish conduct. If we were more
alive in mind, in heart and in con-
science we should be able to do al
most incredible things to bring the
Kingdom of God to multitudes who
wander beWildercd and lost, because
there is 40 one to throw about them
the light which Christ came to kindle
Not the priest alone is His minister,
We are all His servants, and the SER
wants of all for whom He died, If we
are not recreant and false.
The work which the Catholic per-
iodicals do is Indispensable; it is great
er and more necessary than any one
recognizes or acknowledges. 1t is the
chief means whereby priests and peo.
pie throughout the land, throughout
the world, are made aware of one an
others existence and are brought into
conscious sympathy and communion
They help their readers to live in tn,
things Of the mind and the soul, tt
| swim In a current of ideas which flow
from the fountainhead Of Christian
faith, hope and love, and so to iden
tify themselves more completely ant
more effectually with the life work O
Christ and His Church.

the Empire, and Ireland will remain
a weakness to the Empire so long as
Irish rights are. not conceded. But
the moment You make concessions
and in the spirit in which they were
mentioned by Mr.. Churchill--the very
moment you make these concessions
to Ireland believe every lrishman on
the habitable globe will become loyal
friend of the Empire. and the Irish
people in Ireland will be loyal citi-
zens of that Empire as we'll. We ask
to be allowed to enjoy that oblivion Of
the past which Mr. Gladstone re-
minded England was as much in her
interests as in ours. We want to
have our proper place in the Empire.
With reference to Mr.. ChurchilTs
illusions to the coming Home Rule
bill, I accept them all, and I do not
believe that it will be found that pub
lie opinion in ireland will he dissatis-
fled with any of the provisions in that
bill.
And 1 sincerely hope that in a COM
paratively short space of time this
great healing policy. which has in a
few months obliterated the scars Of
the bloody war in South Africa. this
great healing policy Which has welded
together two races and two c,eeds bit
terly at war only few years ago in
Canada-will have the same effect
here, and that this island will have a.
future of peace, prosperity. unity and
loyalty.

fight really begins.
Even the temper in Ulster has inn
proved in spite OF the INSCRIPTIONS
attempt to create disorder. l have
learned the inside history Of Winston
ChurchilTs meeting in Belfast. Every
body agrees, and especially Churchill,
that it was one of the finest meetings
ever seen and that the disorder was
80 slight that the impotence of the
tories to create any serious disturb
ancc was proved conclusively
The most significant fact is that the
workingmen in the great shipyards
who formerly were the i1crcest bat
tallons OF the Orange army, remained
for the most part inside their works
and declined to follow the lead of the
Orange leaders. The few Kisses di-
rected against Churchill came from the
small clerks and other we'll dressed
rOwdics sent from the merchants Of
fees by their Orange employers.
Insurance Attacks Lose Force.
The attacks on tho insurance bill
bill Is better understood and even tho
doctors, who led the ticccest revolt
now show signs of a better temper
Several reports during the week
have startled the world with expected
changes of tho ministry, including the
carly resignation of Asqutth and the
exchange Of the premiership for tho
lord chancellorship. All such reports
are ridiculous Inventions.
Asquith never showed less of a. dis
position to retire. He is especially in
tcrestcd In the Home Rule bill and
has attended the meetings of the cab
met committee engaged in drawing up
the details.
When he was complimentcd by an
Irish mother the other night on tho
uul,n answered that he would ho in
better form when the Irish bill comes
on. This means that he himself will
take the CHIEF part III plotting the
measure through the House Of Com
mons, which, as his skill Is uncqualed
| as a parliamentarian, does much to
assure its speedy passage
The party feeling still is fierce and
probably will grow as the fisat ad-
vanccs, but for the moment, tho high
spirits on the side of the liberals and
despondcncy OH the side OF the tories
represent tho real mood Of the two
parties.

WON'T CENsURE PLAYS
Father o'Dwysr Thinks 1t Better to
Improve the Public Taste.

Father David O'Dwyer who has
been elected president of the Denver
Drama club as recognition of his
fitness to pass judgment on the merit
of plays, does not think it advisable
to proceed by condemning a play
Speaking of the plans of the Denver
club, he says:
"The club, think, will not try to
censure any particular plays. There
are several reasons why I, for in
stance, should not like to impose my
opinions upon others. But theatrical
conditions themselves make it advis-
able not to place public condemnation
upon plays. Such action often SIM
ply proves a boomerang and aids th(
plays concerned.
"The first purpose of the club, as of
the national body, will be to improve
the taste of the public. 1t seems to me
that the theatrical public just thinks
it gets what it wants and that what
it wants is being given to it. I have
been interested in the last week or
two, for instance-and the same PROV
ed true last spring - in noting the
pleasure people take in Shakespeare.
zone phase of the clubs work, for
example, might be the consideration of
humor on the stage. Now, to my mind.
therf Is no finer humor than that of
Shakespeare, and 1 find that the peo-
pie have genuine appreciation of it.
1t was so recently. And I believe that
the people do generally appreciate the
best. Yet when something is pre-
sented to them as funny, which may
while. it is accepted as funny and
people laugh. If the best is given to
them, it is appreciated. And the fore
most object of the club will be the
education of the taste of the public
for the best.
"The second purpose, as with the
national organization, will be to influ-
ence the playwrights Education OF
the public will naturally react upon
the writer's. And the drama league
! aims to improve the American play
both for moral and literary values
The clubs also will probably be ir
touch with playwrights, and thus work
an influence"

EMPLoYEs DISSATISFIED.
Quidnick- Windham Promised Raise in Wages Not What Was Expected.

That there is dissatisfaction among certain of the employees at the Quid- nick Windham Manufacturing com pany was made known Saturday at 1130 o'clock when the help received their weekly wage. About twelve em- ployes of one department quit then, because they did not get as large a raise in Day as had been expected from the announcement made about the first of the month.
