The third finger on Corbett's right
hand, which is noticeably bent. Is re-
sponsible for the little grip that Is
used in the boxing glove OF today as
q general thing.
That finger was sore during one OF
Jim's fights. He worked the hair in
the glove into a little roll during the
fighting so that he would have some
thing to grip, giving less leeway to
the hurt finger whenever he hit a
blow.
1t worked excellently and he
brought II to the notice OF the manu-
facturers who began making that style
Of glove.
Corbett says that he never remem-
bers OF being knocked out. When he
woke up after Jeffries had administer

Corbett renewed his acquaintance
with Bob Farrell while in the city. Cor

all right when he was at his best. He
fought in the days OF Billy Edwards
and his class and was one OF the
cleverest lightweights in the game.

interested in fighting, she has never

Mr.. Windle uses arguments to de-
molish Watson's base, unfounded as
sertions. He shows up Watson's pas
sion and prejudice. He presents his
case fairly and honestly. He appeals
to history, ancient and modern. He
shows that the southern hater of all

ministration equivalent to two terms
If he was convinced that his party
needed purging (and it seems strange
that it should have grown so horribly
and hopeleSsly corrupt in the four
years following his seven years OF
righteous labor) he might have entered
the lists with propriety. But he might
also have avoided the fatal delusion
of thinking that he had no peer among
the progressives and that to fight for
the nomination of a third man would
be utterly hopeless while he himself
Stood to win.
Roosevelt has all along claimed to be
fighting for the great, fundamental
principle of popular rule. Indirectly
he was wagng violent war against
that very principle. His election would
bring about a condition that could
easily result in new form of i'm
perialism with Roosevelt as the die
tator. Washington, Jefferson and jack
son expressed their dread of such a
condition so much so that it has be-
come a custom Of the nation to oppose
any move looking to that end.
Were Roosevelt as modest before the
campaign began as he was after the
Chicago convention closed he would
have Jared better. When the mass
meeting was held to take steps to for
mulate third party movement, Mr..
Roosevelt not only expressed his will
ingness to lead the party if it desired
his leadership, but he meekly asserted
that he would be perfectly willing to
fight for the election Of some other
progressive if the party should prefer
some other progressive for it's candi-
date. That is remarkable statement
firm the lips of a man who, at the pre-
convention mass meeting but a few
days before asserted as his belief that
no other progressive would stand any
chance of winning and that the bosses
were afraid of him, whereas they were
not afraid of anyone else.
AS someone has we'll said, "the bull
moose has been lassoed." He is tame
from exhaustion. He has made his
best fight and lost. 1t only remains
to be said that had Mr.. Roosevelt
showed himself to be more concerned
about purging his party of its defec-
tives than about winning the nomina-
ton himself he would not be a de-
feated man even though his cause
failed and he would be a greater force
in the nation today.

THE FEAR,AN THE FACTS.

Ihose who picture to themselves
the possible dangers of Catholic as.
cendancy In Ireland under Home Rule
surely nave some ground for their
dread If they are disposed to accredit
to Catholics their own disposition in
the matter Of usurping power. If they
VIII think back on the days of the
! Penal Code when to be a Catholic was
to be felon and assume that if the
catholics We're in power the Protest
ants would be outlawed, they must
necessarily look upon the dawn of SELF
government in Ireland with fear and
trembling.
But the Protestants who are now
plcturing the horrors of Catholic as
eendancy have not to look back SC
far for instances of the injustice
of Protestant ascendancy. In
1880. less than century ago
a frotestant colonization society
was formed in the north of Ireland for
the purpose of bolstering up Protest
ant power. This society had for its
object to increase the Protestant pop
ulatlon Its nature and it's aim can
easily be understood from its rules
two of which will suffice to show how
intolerant and unfair were the Pro-
testants even after Catholic Emanci-
ration had been won. Here are some
of the society's provisions:
Every tenant distinctly under
stands and agrees that no Roman
Catholic, under any pretense what
ever, shall be allowed to reside or be
employed in any colony of the So
ciety.
amy colonist who shall marry a
Roman Catholic shall, after due no.
tice, retire from the colony, he being
permitted to dispose of or carry away
his private property"
If the Orangemen of Ulster are OF
the opinion that the Catholics will
treat the Protestants as the Protest
ants treated them. then they have good
reason to be afraid. But has not his
tory shown Irish Catholics to be fair
In dealing with their Protestant coun-
trymen? There has been Protestant
intolerance in ireland in. abundance
but Catholic intolerance, never. The
whole cry is due to dread that it
may come to pass. History proves that
the fear is grquAalsss. There is no
religious question in Ireland except in
the minds of those, who. having been
intolerant themselves, expect their VIC
Tins, when they are placed in power,
to go and do likewise.

COLLAPSE OF RoosEvELTisM.

Mr.. Roosevelt is q beaten man. His
defeat is no surprise to the nation. He
tried to do what few other men would
dare attempt. He received the same
fate that Grant, greater but less am
bilious man than he, received. He has
reduced himself to lesser factor in
the nations welfare than he would be
had he re-entered the arena to fight
for the peoples rights instead of for
a third term nomination.
Mr.. Roosevelt had much in his favor
in the fight that had its denouement at
the Chicago convention. He was the
expressed choice of nearly million
and half Republican voters. That
can hardly be called a representative
number when it is considered that
Taft's Vote at the last election was
approximately seven million. But COM
pared with Mr.. Taft's vote at the
same primaries Roosevelt was the win
ner by vote of practically two to
one. In eight of the eleven states in
which Republican primaries were held
Roosevelt was the victor. He, there
fore. had a fair basis for his appeal
at Chicago.
But Roosevelt made his serious mis-
take when he set out to win the NOM
nation for himself. He was twice hon.
ored with the presidency he himself

A REBukE TO WATSON.

Mr.. c. A. Windle of Chicago editor
of "Brann's Iconoclast," has published
in pamphlet form a series of articles
which appeared in that paper in an
swer to the wild and venomous charg
es that one notorious Watson has beer
making against the Catholic Church
Mr.. Windle says he is neither Pro-
testant nor Catholic nor yet an In
fidel. He has his own personal belief
and has entered the arena, not for
the sake of defending theological
points or forms Of worship, but to
answer the question, HAS Watson told
the truth?" His conclusion is that the
southern editor is sadly swayed by
passion and prejudice whenever ne at
tempts to write about the Catholic
Church.
Mr.. Windle does not believe that
there is any danger of religion ever
destroying a nation. Those who are
familiar with history, he says, know
that the governments whose wrecks
line the pathway of human progress
have never traced their downfall to
religion. "Moral decay" political cor
ruption, graft, bribery and greed
writes Mr.. Windle, may undermine
and overthrow a just government, but
religion-never."
Mr. Windle points out that those
who fear the power OF Catholics in
politics most are themselves the worst
offenders. He appeals for fail deal
ing thus: when Catholics continu-
ally vote for Protestant presidents
without murmur, why should Pro-
testants hesitate to vote for a Catho-
lie? Can it be that Catholics are
more liberal than Professionals? This
fact alone shows the absurdity OF
Watson's contention
Mr.. Windle gives the Catholic
Church due credit for the influence II
had in the advancement of civiliza-
ton. He shows tn, conditions undo.
which the Church Fathers na,: to
wrlk, the obstacles tl'at confronted
them on all sides and the tremendous
task that was theirs. He proves that

A Paris dispatch says that there is
France. The contempt for religion has
gone out of fashion and now the most
brilliant and talented thinkers and
writer's of the younger generation are
looking to the Church as their guide.
They are being gradually drawn back
to the deepest source Of all thought
and action; namely moral and religious
ideals. France which was Catholic for
SO long and which is today still nor
mally Catholic cannot wander long or
far from the true fold. The seed has
not been destroyed 1t has only been
prevented from taking root.

In spite of all the luminosity and
opposition that Orangemen are able to
muster the Irish party are still able
to secure funds with which to carry
on their vigoroues campaign of en-
lightenment. The cheerfulness with
which the friends of the Irish party
have contributed financial aid even
when they were carrying on losing
fight is an excellent index of the gen.
uineness of the Home Rule spirit
Such perseverance cannot go forever
unrewarded.

Unique Nominating Speech.

John Sharp Williams says the best
nominating speech he ever heard was
made by Private John Allen, who
used to be a member of the House
from Mississippi. The man Allen
wished to get on the ticket was an
ex-Confederate soldier who had lost
both legs and had a crippled arm.
There were many things that could
have been said about the mans war
record, but Allen wished to be brief.
He got up, looked at the fellow, and
brought the entire gathering to its
feet by his speech. He said: II

gust the Roosevelt enthusiasts will be

their lll-considered determination. The
third party will very probably not get
past the threatening stage. If it does
1t is not likely to do much harmon
