OF the McNamaras the report said
"The Mcnamara offence was u social

to realize the poisonous, miasmatic in
fiuences corrupting the atmosphere OF
industrial life, were well nigh overwhelm-
ed by the weight of collective response

of the existence of such conditions. The
McNamars were either erminally insane
or insanely crimnal-either condition due
to imperfect education, incomplete edu-
cation or defective mentality. In any
case society is responsible for not RENE
dying the conditions. What concerns Ia
Dor and society generally is preventive
measures and human betterment. SO that
life and working conditions may be pure

AS TO ST. PATRICK.

The Louisville Times in Its Issue
of March 16 had an editorial entitled
"st Patrick" in which 1t said In
part:
aft NAV be that st. Patrick never
oxisted Into that tangled con-
troversy we decline to enter; put
that he dominates Irish tradition ana
Ir,sh history up to every recurring
anniversary is beyond all question:
There is no controversy among
scholars or gentlemen, tangled OF
otherwise, about the existence OF ST.
Patrick. Only ignorant orangemen
and some few others Of the same llk
in this country have ever denied the
existence of st. Patrick. His name
is in the Roman calendar, and the
Catholic church is an Organization
II nothing else, not given to placing
names on its calendar that never
existed. He existed II st. Peter and
ST. Paul existed; indeed the PROOF
that he existed is attested by his
writings, If not by his great works.
why is 1t that editors persist IN
-aa,ss,t.ags intelligence OF their
readers, many of whom are OF irish
birth or descent, by writing cd
itorials like the one which appeared
in the Times on Saturday? II the
article had been written by cub
reporter it might have been excusa-
BILE. We would like to know where
the editor got his information about
there being any controversy about
the existence OF st. Patrick. II he
can quote any historian or reputable
authority on this subject We would
like to see It in print.
The Irish are getting very tired OF
81. Patrick's day editorials which
laud the saint, but start off with the
declaration, "It may be that 81
Patrick never existed"

FRESHMEN ARE CHEERED.

From the most reliable sources oil
information in London comes news
that Immediately after the Easter
vacation will begin the serious fight
over home rule. The postponement
OF the Introduction of the bill to this
date is accepted by every rational
Irishman as inevitable, for the in
PRODUCTION of an Irish measure
during the existence of such a
national tragedy in England as the
coal strike would have made the bill
al once ridiculous and detested.
Preparations for the bill are proceed
ing quietly even during this tremen-
dous crisis. The Cabinet committee
meets frequently and everything but
the last touches have been given to
the bill The Tory papers continue
to publish reports of disagreements
between the Liberal and Irish lead
ers, but there is not one word OF
truth in these rumors. From the
first OF the negotiations the Minis
tiers accepted the principle that there
was no use OF presenting the Irish
leaders with any bill that did not give
fun measure OF home rule, and no
Minister IS more emphatic or loyal
In this principle than Asquith.
Asquith's promise to take personal
charge of the bill and place at its
disposal his unrivaled parliamentary
gifts has enormously cheered the
Irishmen.
