A Political Sermon.

Don't ALLEVIATE your friends be-
cause you differ from them in poll
tics There is particular danger of
this now, when political parties are
being rent asunder and realignment
under way What makes a man
worthy to be your friend is not his
opinion on the tariff or on reciproc-
ity, or the integrity of Taft or Roos-
evelt or Wilson, but his honesty,
his integrity; not his head power
mainly, but his heart power; his
sterling manhood. We have had no
trouble in finding such friends
among democrats, among socialists
socalled, among Catholics. among
Protestants and among men who
affiliated with no church. We plead
with the democrat not to lose conf
dence in his democratic friend who
cannot see his way clear to vote for
Woodrow Wilson; and with the re-
publican not to lose confidence in
his old.time republican friend who
thinks it his duty to sand by my
dear Will" or the one who feels he
must support my dear Theodore.
Friendship is too sacred a thing to
be sacrificed for difference of po-
litical opinion.
Don't imagine that this campaign
will usher in the political milenni-
um. 1t is after all only skirmish
in the age-ing warfare between right
and wrong, in which good men often
get on the side which they think
for a time is right, but which in the
! end proves to be wrong. themselves
being the judges; and in which bad
men sometimes get on the right
side for the time being, and bring
the cause into disrepute. There will
be wrongs to right after November
and after other Novembers for hun.
dreds of years even until the end
of time.
Therefore, don't waste your
! breath. You know it will be vast
ed. if you but stop to think. Don't
lose confidence in your friends who
do not see it as you do. Make up
your mind conscientiously where
your duty lies, and do it with NAL
, ice toward none and charity toward
all."-Wallace's Farmer.

MATTHEW CUNIFFE.

Matthew Cuniffe, sixty-seven
years old, a native of Ireland, but
for half a century a highly esteemed
resident of this city, died at his
home, 534 Baxter avenue, Tuesday
morning, the result of a paralytic
stroke suffered two weeks ago. For
over forty-seven years Mr.. Cuniffe
had been a trusted employe of the
Louisville & Nashville Railroad
Company, and at the time of his
death he was clerk at it's Crescent
Hill freight office. Quiet and unas-
Stunning, lhe made friends everywhere
and was a strong supporter of local
Catholic societies, being one of the
pioneer members of the Catholic
Knights of America. Thirty years
ago his wife died, and since he had
lived with his children, Misses Fan
ME and Julia Cuniffe, and Matthew,
John, William and Bernard Cuniffe.
His sister, Miss Jane Cuniffe, and
two grandchildren, Ella Marie and
Julia Cuniffe, also survive him. The
funeral took place Friday morning

attended by old friends and ac-
quaintances from all parts of the

tire company and producers are de-
serving of the eRconiums now being
showered on them from all sides.
Although/a perennial favorite with
ackiR/ Council audiences, Miss Abb
bic Chester added new laurels to her
wreath of past successes by her char
acterization of Ophelia, the slavey,
and her Interpretation of the part
would do justice to Rose Melville,
the original Sis Hopkins. In addition
to her acting Miss Chester's singing
was all that her friends could desire
and her solos were heartily encored
at each performance. The spe-
cialities introduced by Miss Chester
and Mr.. Thomas ID. Clines were
easily the features of the production,
their baseball stunt with local refer
ences being a big hit and brought
down the house. Their singing OF
"Ophelia," the song hit of the
piece, was especially good, although
Mr.. Clines was slightly handicapped
by a severe cold. Another old
favorite of Mackin audiences, Mr..
Charles Parsons, kept the house in a
continual roar of laughter with his
Dutch mannerisms, and had a good
foil for his talents in Miss Marie
Louis Michot, who was the very per-
sonification of grace itself in her
dancing, besides being possessed of a
good stage presence. Miss Bertha
Cohn and Mr. Aulyn Kantson gave a
neat exhibition of dancing. in addi-
ton to rendering some clever song
hits. Miss Johanna Kraft proved a
pleasant surprise with her solo OF
the Spring Song" and the only dis
appointment was that she was lin
tied to one number on the pro-
gramme. In his female impersona-
ton George Cuscaden looked and
acted the ideal Fourth avenue belle.
The chorus gave a good account of
itself, especially in the difficult
drills executed, and made very
favorable impression by their neat
entrances and exits. part Of which
credit is due Sherley Cuniffe, who
acted as assistant stage manager.

INDIGNANT.

The Louisville Herald, like many
other reputable Republican news
papers. is Justly indignant over the
ugly personal campaign being
waged by President Taft and Theo-
dore Roosevelt. Here are some OF
it's conclusions:
beginning with the BELIEF tnat
each was a man of high honor ana
splendid patriotism, we now can not
helieve either of them without be-
lieving that the other is repre-
bensible character unworthy OF
nublic confidence. II we are to
listen TO the President, Theodore
Roosevelt is a man who breaks his
word. maligns his friends, misrepre-
sents facts and seeks to overthrow
those institutions upon which the
safety of the republic is based. IL
we are to heed Col. Roosevelt
President Taft is a man who mas
been the tool of bosses, corrupt
interests and plunderers OF the
people. He is untruthful, disloyai
and reactionary. The beneficiary
with his own consent, Of fraud. How
can the party be expected 70
nominate either man? And how II
il does. can it reasonably or right
eously ask the country to support
him? Who knows Taft better than
Roosevelt? Who knows Roosevelt
better than Taft? Once bosom
friends, they are now bitter OPP
moments, and each is doing his best
TO discredit the others character IN
the eyes of the public"
The Democrats should nominate
and elect Speaker Champ Clark,
which would put an effectual end to
"a struggle that has been one OF the
most discreditable in the anna's Oh
American history" The people OF
this country should not bear with
either Taft or Roosevelt. We oplne
fhev will not.

INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS.

The proposed examination of our
laws bearing upon the relation OF
employer and employe" and OF the
general condftIons of labor o'Hafi-
principal industries" appeals
strongly to Cardinal Gibbons. Il am
greatly interested in the proposal to
create a Federal Commission on In
dustrial Relations" said His EN-
lnence recently in reply to a ques-
ton. 81 earnestly hope that the
Congress may find it possible to act
favorably on the suggestion of Presi-
dent Taft that such commission De
created. Industrial peace must be
made relatively secure; justice TO
both capital and labor ought to be
assured at least substantially, and
confidence ought to be restored be-
tween our social classes. Thorough
going knowledge of the facts in our
industrial situation is absolutely
necessary to these ends. Only a
Federal Commission could undertake
a giagntlc task of this kind with any
promise of first-rate efficiency. 1t
Is to be hoped that the American
public will endorse the action OF
President Taft in asking Congress to
treate the commission. ] know of no
other proposal in recent years which
would promise better results for
Industrial peace and social justice"
The Mcnamara trials, the Lawrence
strike, the coal mines recently idle
in Pennsylvania and the FESTIVE
railroad engineers all teach that the
time has come for new approach TO
the problems underlying industrial
conflicts and for the elimination of
such OF their causes as are pre-
ventable. 1t is time to know the real
facts about labor as basis for in
telligent judgment. and therefore
there should be no opposition to the
Hughes Borah bill in Congress.
