BOARD OF ERIN
Pledges $4,000 to Help Cause oi
Homo Rule.

Ten thousand dollars to the Parlia-
mentary fund for the Irish Home Rule
campaign was pledged by the Board
of Erin at it's national convention in
Philadelphia last week.
The pledge was telegraphed by
President Dennis J. Hanlon to Thom-
as Fitzpatrick, their American treas
urer at Boston, and to John E. Red
mond, the Irish Parliamentary leader.
The pledge to raise $4,000 was
made with great enthusiasm by the
200 delegates on behalf Of 10000 con-
stituents in the United States and
Canada, to back up their stirring reso-
lutions on the question of Home Rule.
The declarations were presented to
the convention by committee, con-
sisting of Thos. ]. Fitzmaurice, Mich
ael Boyle. Joseph A. B.. Storen, John
Devlin, Timothy Meehan, John Has-
gerty, Thomas Connolly, Hugh Burns,
John Gilmartin, J. w. Doyle and
others.
BY the resolutions the body renewed
its pledges to the cause of liberty and
employed Lloyd-George's word in
charging that the hands of the Brit
ish Lords were dripping with the
blood of sacrilege." The Irish party
leaders and the Liberal leaders,
oyd-George, Prime Minister Asquith
and Winston Churchill. were praised
for their manful championship Of
Home Rule for Ireland.

Love In the Family Circle.

Love and appreciation are to wo-
man what dew and sunshine are to q
flower. They freshen and brighten
her whole life They make her strong
hearted and keen sighted in every
thing affecting the welfare Of her
home. They make her to cherish her
husband when the cares of life press
heavily upon him; and to be very
providence to her children. To know
that her husband loves her and is
proud of her and believes in her; that
even her faults are looked upon with
tenderness; that her face. to one at
least, is the fairest in all the world;
that the heart which to her is the
greatest and noblest holds her sacred
in his innermost recesses above all
other women, gives strength and
courage and energy and sweetness
and vivacity which all the wealth Of
the world could not bestow. Let a
woman's life be pervaded with such
an influence, and her heart and mind
will never grow old but will blossom
and sweeten in perpetual youth.

Praise Marquette.

That the Marquette School Of Jour
nalism is proving popular is evil
denced by the recognition 1t has re-
ceived by some of the leading news
papers. In a recent Sunday issue, the
Chicago Inter Ocean published a long
article devoted to a description Of the
work of that department of Marquette
University. The Milwaukee Free
Press of Sunday, July 7, published an
illustrated article written by a stu
dent of the School of Journalism on
this subject.
Marquette is fast forging to the
front as a first class Catholic Uni
versity. 1t already offers courses in
most OF the professional branches
and is each year enlarging and per-
fecting its facilities for the better a.
commodation of it's patrons.

fight than for weeks and the Tories
more discouraged.
Another remarkable incident is the
abandonment by the Liberal ministry
Of the Tory policy on sugar boNnties.
which had inflicted incalculable dam
age on all English trades associated
with sugar. The Tories demand the
pro!ongation of the session, with the
object of discussing this tremendous
and unexpected departure. The Lib
erals welcome the debate as AFFORD
ing opportunity Of discussing the COM
parative merits of tariff.
The Liberals probably will lose a
Manchester seat, but as it is usually
Tory it will not result seriously in
the splendid strength of the Liberal
position.

ARE NOT IRISH
"Jaok Sullivan" 10 Jew and "Paul
Kelly" an Italian,

kelIy" an Italian.
Referring editorially to the Rosen-
thai murder in New York City. the
Irish World gives this timely Informal
ton as to how prejudice is engen-
dered against the Irish by foreigners
OF various nationalities assuming
Irish names. The Irish World says:
Mayor Gaynor. in referring to it
(the Rosenthal murder) in letter,
addressed to Police Commissioner
Waldo. took occasion to point out. that
the murderers belong to certain
racial element. He wrote: 1.-The
gambling of the city Is almost all In
their hands. not to mention other
vices and crimes. The published
names Of every one connected, nearly
or remotely, with Rosenthal and his
murder. shows them to be of this
same class OF lawless foreigners, to
which he belonged" Some critics Of
Mayor Gaynor may be disposed to
ask, what about Jack Sullivan and
Paul Kelly, who have been mentioned
In connection with Rosenthul's MUIR
der? Are not these distinctively Irish
names? Why try to saddle the entire
odium upon Jewish Americans? Why
ignore the fact that the Irish element
had it's representatives among Rosen-
thal's slayers? !
If Mayor Gaynor should feel dis :
posed to answer these critics, he
might reply that there is not drop
Of Irish blood coursing in the veins
Of either Jack Sullivan" or Paul
Kelly" The latter is an Italian, who
has assumed an Irish name. to suit
his own purpose. and the former is
Jew, who received from his parents
the name Of Jacob Reich, which he
has changed To Jack Sullivan" 1t
is not the only instance OF non-Irlsh
criminals hiding their identity under
Irish names. Police officials and court
officers know how common is this
practice. The Jack Sullivans" and
the Paul KeIlys" in the past have
done much to lengthen out the alleged
criminal record to which the enemies
of our race point as evidence of the
depravity Of Irish character. 1t would
not be a bit surprising IL some future
chronicler of the Rosenthal murder
should try to shield the Jewish ele-
ment against Mayor Gaynor's charge
by Juggling in the names of TACK
Sullivan" and paul Kelly" as proof
that Irish Americans were particle
pants in one Of the foulest murders
in the criminal history Of New York
City.

Their svowed object is simply to

The bill, I will venture to predict,
will be sent to the House of Lords
before Christmas, and whatever may
be its immediate fortunes there, the
House Of Lords, thanks to the legis-
lation of last year, no longer possess
the power Of overriding the consid-
cred judgment of the elected repre-
sentatives of the people.
The bill seeks to give effect to the
demand of Ireland for full Self-Gov-
ernment in purely Irish affairs. That
demand has been preferred by four
ffths of the representatives Of the
Irish people, chosen by a Democratic
suffrage at successive elections con-
tinued during the lifetime of a whole
generation. Those are the principles
upon which we start That is the goal
at which we aim.
I have always maintained, and
have been engaged now in this busi-
ness for a quarter of a century,
have always, and maintain it as
strongly today, that in every relevant
sense of the term Ireland is Nation
not two Nations, but one Nation.
But they may say: 'What do You
mean by a Nation?" I am not going
to embarrass myself by any abstract
definition.

The sunset gun roared dismally out
on the rain swept Patapsco on the
evening Of July 20. as the flag, which
the British could not shoot away, was
hauled down by a lore soldier. No
bugle blast sounded retreat; no SOL
diers stood with barred heads. Fort
McHenry was dead. at Z o'clock,
twenty minutes before the flag came
down, the One Hundred and Forty
first Company of Coast Artillery
marched out through the old gate.
The sentries, who for over a century
have paced the hagstones there, fell
in behind. The iron barriers, which
had seldom been used, because a SOL
dier with musket proved better
guard, clicked together on rusted
hinges and an oldtime sadlock clasped
them together.

When night came the old fort lay
wrapped in gloom and mist. Outside,

every person in the fort-soldier,
civilian and woman-looked up, where
in the gloom the flag hung Imply.
The crunch of the mems heels on the

A Reminder Of 1912.
The flag will still fly on the same
staff where it flew on September 12,
1914, when the British bombarded the
fort. There is one person in the fort
who was anxious about whether the
flag would fly when the troop had
gone. George Thomas, five years old
and son of Sergeant Thomas, has
planted pole in front of his fathers
quarters and a tiny flag flies there.

The Crucial Difficulty.

The crucial difficulty was the Irish
representation at Westminster. In
the first Bill of 1886, the Irish mem.
bers We're to come no more to Par.
Lament, except for one or two special
purposes. The two alternatives to the
policy of extension were either inclu.
sion of the Irish members for all pur-
poses, or else their inclusion for I'm
perial purposes only. In his speech
at Swansea, in 1887, Gladstone fav-
ored provisional inclusion, without
prejudice to return to the earlier
plan of exclusion If that should bs
recommended by subsequent expert
ence. In the Bill (February 13. 1899.
eighty representatives from Ireland
were to have seats at Westminster,
but they were not to vote upon mo-
tions or bills expressly confined TO
England or Scotland. and there were
other limitations. This plan was soon
found to be wholly intolerable to tho
House of Commons. Exclusion having
failed, and inclusion of reduced mem
bers for limited purposes having
failed, the only course left open was
what was called "omnes omnia," or
rather the inclusion of eighty Irish
members, with power of voting on all
purposes.
Each Of the three courses was open
to at least one single, but very direct,
objection. Exclusion, along with the
exaction of revenue from Ireland by
the Parliament at Westminster, was
taxation without representation. In
clusion for all purposes was to allow
the Irish to meddle, in our affairs.
while we were no longer to meddle III
theirs. Inclusion for limited purposes
still left them invested with the pow
er of turning out a British Govern
ment by a vote against it on an I'm.
perial question. Each plan, therefore.

Described by John Morley in the
New Life of Gladstone Just
Published.
The Crucial Difficulty in the Home
Rule Bill Was the Irish
Representation.
In the First Bill Drafted in 1885
the Irish Members Were to
Stay at Home.

Lord Morley in giving the history
of Gladstone's last fight in Parliament
for Irish Home Rule, says:
In December 1882, at Harvard
en-, Mr.. Gladstone said to me one day
after we had been working for five
or six hours on the new Homo Rule
Bill, that his general health was good
and sound, but his sight and his hear,
ing we're SO rapidly declining that he
thought he might almost any day have
to retire from office. 1t was no mo.
ment for banal depreciation. He sat
silently pondering this vision in his
own mind. Of coming fate. 1t seemed
like Tennyson's famous simile-
So dark forethought rolled about
his brain,
AS on a dull day in an ocean cave
The blind wave feeling round his long
sea-hall
In silence.
1t would have been preternatural
If he had shown the same overwhelm-
ing interest that had animated him
when the Irish policy was fresh In
1886. Yet the instinct of a strong
mind and the lifelong habit of ardent
industry carried him through his Sissy
phean toll. Tie routine business CT
head of Government he attended to
with all his usual assiduity, and in
Cabinet he was clear, careful, meth
odical, as always. The preparation
Of the Bill was carefully and elabor.
ately worked by Gladstone through an
excellent committee of the Cabinet.
Here he was acute. adroit, patient,
full Of device, expedient, and the art
of construction; now and then vehem-
ent. and bearing down like a three.
decker upon craft Of more modest
tonnage.

JUDGES AND THE NVINCIBLE GOVERNMENT

doing and are doing. Only it hasn'
been proved by written documents. We
know that like conditions breed like
results. We know that the influences
playing upon legislatures and execu
tives also play upon judges.
That is why the average layman has
little patience nowadays with the con
tention of the extreme type of con
servative respecting the sacredness oil
the judiciary. That is why many
call of judges or the recall of de-
cisiOns does not reach him.
The courts are men, subject to the
same failings, sustained by the same
virtues, as other men. They belong to
one branch of our government which
is no more sacred than the other two.
Therefore today in the critical mood of
the American people we are seeking
to improve the courts as well as the
coordinate branches of our govern
ment. To the Tribune the recall of
judges seems Inherently mistaken,
while the recall of decisions has much
that may be said both for and against
1t. But no attempt to make the ad-
ministratiOn of legal justice serve the
welfare of the whole people, as the
people conceive their welfare, is going
to be defeated by the assertion of a
professional theory of judicial infalli.
bility.
John d. Archbold was not bestirring
himself in the interest of certain can
didates as mere literary exercise or
for his physical health. There was a
reason, and it was a substantial rea-
son.
The professional and business rela-
tiOns, the education and social en-
virOnment and the personal affiliations
of judges are important and sometimes
decisive factors in the making of our
laws from the bench. At the same
time these are factors that ar ethe
most difficult to assay and control in
the public interest, though men like
ArchbOld know how to estimate them
in their own interest. And
since they are often obscure and diff
cult it is natural and inevitable that
we should attempt to devise some
checks or safeguards which We can di-
rect upon their actions. In our sys.
TEN the courts of review have tre-
mendous power. We are taught by
such revelations as the Archbold let.
ters make that 1t is not wise to exalt
this power unduly. We need to be
careful in devising new checks But
some further check we seek, and in
the end will find and apply.
