IRISH TEXT SOCIETY
Efforts Being Made to Have Sub
Council Established in CHICAGO.

Chicugo Ill.-A commeuuable effort
is pclng made to establish here in
Chicago sub-council OF the Irish
Text society.
The Irish Text society, with head
quarters at London, England, has for
Its purpose the publication of import-
ant works in Irish poetry and prose.
accompanied by English translations,
notes and glossaries. What is known
as the carly modern Irish period
That is the literature from the seven-
teenth century onward, will occupy its
chief attention.
The society has already published
several volumes, among which are DR..
Gcoffrcy Kcatings History Of ireland:
the Poems of Egan O'Rahic, the chief
bard of Munster; and an Irish medi-
eval version of Virgils "Acncid." In
course of preparation are "A New
Version of Agallahm na Scnorach"
(coHoquy of the ancicnts), by that en-
lnent Irish scholar and patriot, who is
also president of the society, DR.. Doug
las Hyde; an edition Of the poems of
Teigne Dali O'Iliggins, edited by
Eleanor Knott, and "Thc Flyght of the
Earlys." from the unique MS. in the
franciscan monastery, Merchants

Is prominently the province of small
holdings Altogether it had in 1910
only 1864 holding exceeding fifty
acres in extent, whereas it contains
12,2O2 holdings of ar extent above one
and not exceeding t.ty acres. More
over, of these the greater number are
between five and thirty acres in area.
On the other hand, Munster is pre-
eminently the province of holdings be-
tween thirty and two hundred acres.
In 1910, of it's total humber Of hold
ings, exceeding one acre, that is 114.-
995, no less than 5,1S6 were Of q size
above thirty and not exceeding two
hundred acres. Further, it may be
noted that among these holdings the
proportion not only of those above
fifty acres, but of those exceeding one
hundred acres in area is, when COM
lively large.
The report states further that of the
605,S96 holdings in Ireland at present
555,125 are in the hands of the occu-
piers. the numbers being in Leinster,
4,102; in Munster. 126,S91; in Ul-
ster, 1SS,612; and in Connacht, 115, $50.
Approaching the matter from a some
what different standpoint, the same
result is apparent, namely, the steady
wiping out of agricultural tillage, and
allowing the land to run into pasture
in recent years, because of the total
area of 20.35O,725 acres in 1910, IT,
249,059 under crops and grass, there
were 12,456,33S acres devoted to graz
ing purposes. This furnishes addi-
tional proof that large part Of the
cause of the decline in population has
been the ruinous landlord system, now
happily paralyzed, by which the peo-
pie were driven from the soil in or
der to make room for the cattle

OPPOSES DIVORCE
Judge Would LegaIize Separation But
Not Re. MARRIAGE.

"Abolish the divorce laws Of Mich
igan,' is the advice of Judge E. D.
Kline, who has sat on the Circuit
bench at Ann Arbor for the last
quarter of a century.
Hitherto, as a rule, I have admin
istered the laws as ], found them on
the statute books" said Judge
Kinne. 1T seems to me that divorce
was the only escape from brutality,
wretchedness and hopeless unhappi-
ness. but of late the privilege Of di-
vorce has been SO misused and I have
witnessed such fragrant disregard for
truth, morality and decency that my
former convictions have evinced con-
siderable modiication-if not revolu-
ton.
"In urgent cases let there be de-
cree of separation but no dissolution
of the marriage contract

GAELIC IN BERKELEY
Large Glass at "U" of California In.
terested in Irish Language.

Less than two years ago there was
opened in the State University at
Berkeley a class for, 4the study Of the
Gaelic language. Professor j. j.
O'Hegarty was assigned to the chair
of Celtic, and entered on his duties
with an earnestness that augured we'll
for the success of his department, says
the Leader. San Francisco.
With little or 10 boosting" as far
as newspaper publicity is concerned
Professor O'Hegariy has gone on with
his work in q systematic and busi-
nesslike fashion until now the study
of the Gaelic language at Berkeley is
as popular almost as any other.
1t is pleasing to record the fact that
this years registration in Celtic stud
les has exceeded I'LL records since the
establishment of the Celtic chair in
the University. over seventy students
have already registered this semester.
And it is likewise gratifying to learn
that there is a general increase in in
terest among the students in matters
appertaining to Irish history in gen.
eral.
1t will not be long before Berkeley
will realize the supreme Importance of
knowledge both Of the language and
the history Of the Gael. That the day
is not far distant when this will hap
pen is evident from the splendid prog
ress already made by Professor Ole
garty and his devoted students.

CARDINAL O'CONNELL
Received Warmly BY People of Bos-
ton on His Home Coming.

Returning from Rome on Monday
with the new honors recently accorded
him by the Church, Cardinal O'Con-
nell received from his homo town one
of the finest demonstrations OF respect
ever accorded a citizen OF the old town
of Boston. Citizens OF all sects united
in paying him honor. who was born
there poor boy, and who, through
such an eminent place in Church and
country.
When the steamship Canopie reach
cd tho dock, Cardinal OConnell was
greeted by Bishop Anderson. v. G.,
head of the committee on arrange
ments. and by other members of the
committee. He was welcomed by
Mayor Fitzgerald on behalf of the city,
after which tho Ninth Regiment under
command of Col. John j. Sullivan,
formed an escort to the Cardinals
house. All the Catholic societies of
Boston took part in tho parade and
people from many points gathered
along the line of march to greet tho
new Cardinal. 1t is said that 100000
people wore on the street. Business
houses We're decorated in the Amer
lean and Papal colors and the whole
city presented u gala appearance.
Thursday morning at 10 o'clock the
solemn high Mass Of Thanksgiving
took place. The beautiful Cathedral
was filed to the doors an hour before
the services began. The first 12 pews,
six OH either side of the center aisle,
were reserved for the Governor and
his staff. the Mayor and City Council,
the Port Officers and representatives
OF the United States Government, the

some other friendly way, il sing
strange that the men who ha rallied
against 'Quantavis Diligentia' appear
never to have opened their eyes to
the fact that the whole trend of Papal
legislation against arraigning ecclesi-
astics before the ordinary courts was
to enforce the submission of the case
to the experiment of trying friendly
arrangement before legal contention,
with all its consequences, is allowed
full swing. If peaceable settlement
be not reached, a Prelate is not per-
mitted to forbid recourse to the ordi-
nary courts, when layman chooses
to sue priest for a temporal matter,
even where the law against implead-
ing ecclesiastics before lay tribunals
is in full force.
"But in this country it does not re-
main in full force, though it had been
designed as a prop to freedom, and
never produced the effects wrongfully
alleged by those who have assailed it
as a menace to liberty. AS regards
secular concerns, SO far as Canon Law
required the permission of ecclesiast-
ical authority before layman might
institute civil or criminal proceedings
against a clergyman in the courts of
the country, it's obligation here was
long ago set aside by observance
and contrary usage; and no decree,
such as 'Quantavis Diligentia,' wheth-
er interpretative or enacting or both,
sets established custom aside unless it
be distinctly stated that it prevails
Notwithstanding any custom to the
contrary. Nothing of this kind is in
timated in the recent 'Motu Proprio.'
Consequently it leaves things with us
just as they were before it's publica-
ton in the matter of summoning
clergymen to take their trial on tenn
poral issues in the ordinary Courts of
Justice.
GAS one who twenty-five years ago
had charge of the Canon Law class in
a great College, I feel it may be USE
full to make this statement to the peo-
pie Immediately committed to my
care" -.-.,,..s.-. g.
