Candidate for Judge.

The following news appears in the
of Aug. %:
John T. Casey was born on a Wis
consin farm, forty years ago. In the
family were sixteen children. His
parents and fourteen-ten brothers
and four sisters are living. Three of
his brothers are Catholic priests. He
worked at various trades and occupa-
tons to secure an education and took
the degree of L. l.. B. from the Law
Department of the Wisconsin Univer-
sfty in 1896. Coming west the follow
Ing year he began practice at Anacon-
da, Montana. where he was in the
Prosecuting Attorneys office for three
years. He came to Seattle in 1901 and
has handled many important cases in
his practice here. He has always taken
an active part in movements for the
uplifting and betterment of the people,
He says:
when those who toll are we'll of,
the community in which they live is
certain to be prosperous. No one can
see large part of the people in want
or distress and feel satisfied with the
conditions which require them to mere
ly exist Man himself is, intrinsically,
most important. Wealth and power
are mere incidents in life and make
the individual neither better or worse
except as they are used or abused
Labor and capital, are both neces-
sary to each other and to the public.
One should be reasonable in demand
and the other just in treatment, that
goodwill and order may prevail and
conflict and confusion avoided"
The many friends of Mr.. Casey at
the Head of the Lakes and in Mime
apolis will be pleased to hear of his
election to the exalted position of
judge of the superior court of WASH
ington. The readers of the Irish
Standard in that state will not forget
to mark a cross after his name on the
ticket.

Tho Burden of Office.

From the time Of Washington down
to the present, there has hardly been
President who has not expressed a
feeling Of relief when another citizen
was chosen to administer the affairs of
that great Office. The burden is heavy
says the Intermountain Catholic. Open
at all ines to the criticisms Of many
whose natural abilities and training in
no way recommend them to the office
of critic. the President especially in
these latter days, is made the subject
of sarcastic comment and vicious at
tack such as were almost unheard of
IN the first century Of our national lite.
These circumstances, with the blan-
dishments Of the mighty to lead astray
the judgment, the claims of politicians
to the good offices of the President,
the charges Of incompetence and dis
honesty made by irresponsible persons,
add heavily to the burden of respon-
sibility assumed. with the obligation.
Perhaps no other President than
Washington, certainly no President of
modern times, would dare to address
the public in the words used by the
Father Of His Country when he an
nounced his intention of retiring.
Though in reviewing the incidents of
my administration I am unconscious
of Intentional error" he said, Fl am
nc hn1 f10
not to think it probable that I have
committed many errors. Whatever
they may be, fervently beseech the
Almighty to avert or mitigate the evils
to which they may tend. shall also
carry with me the hope that my coun-
try Will never cease to view them with
indulgence; and that after As years
of my life dedicated to it's service, with
an upright zeal, the faults of incom-
petent abilities will be consigned to
oblivion, as myself must soon be to the
mansions of rest"
1t would be hard to imagine Mr..
Roosevelt or Mr.. Taft, the only living
former President and the President,
taking the public into such close con-
f1dence as to admit it probable that
they had committed many errors, but
they must have a feeling that perhaps
they have made one or two mistakes
in the administration of the people
affairs. The eagerness with which the
Office is sought in contradistinction
with the eagerness with which Wash
inston sought to lay aside it's burdens,
would seem to indicate lessening Of
the weight of responsibility in these
modern days, but the burden is heavy,
and it is probable the strenuous cam
paigning preceding the election added
to the work of the office, has short
ened the lives of virtually every man
who has occupied the presidential
chair.

WHO ARE oRANeEMEN?

They are the successors of the Peep
of Day Boys and originated in the
northern part of County Armagh in
1895. Thomas Werner enjoys the bad
eminence of being the first Grand
Master" of the order whose members
were required to take the following
oath: Il do solemnly swear that I
will, to the utmost of my power, sup
port the King and the present govern
ment, and I do further swear that I
inmate all the Catholics of the king
dom of Ireland" "This oath being Sc
cret," says John Mitchell in his His
tory of Ireland, has latterly been de-
MED by the Orangemen Of respectable
ity and consequence. 1t has been gem
orally credited that it was taken by
all the original lodges, and continued
afterwards to be taken by the lower
classes. But whatever may have been
the original form of engagement, or
however it may have since been
changed by more polite Grand Mast
ers, nothing is more certain than that
the Orange Society did Immediately
and most seriously apply themselves
to the task Of exterminating the Cath
olics."
In September of 1895 the Orangemen
| of Armagh began to carry out their
oath of determination by attacking
Catholics, and they succeeded in kill

men resorted to the burning of Cath
olic habitations in Armagh and by the
end of the year from five to seven
thousand Catholics were driven from

In January, 1896. the Irish parlia-
ment assembled and the atrocities of

them the odious name of "banditti,"

conspiracy existed unmolested, and
depredations on life and property were
committed from time to time until
1911 when O'Conpell at a mass meeting
in Dublin denounced them in the most
scathing language, but none of them
were ever punished by the authorities
then in power.
The foregoing facts are related by
John Mhchel-an fisherman himself
and a Protestant, who detested big
otry and intolerapce Of every kind and
sacrificed his liberty in 1913 by advo-
eating the determination of the British
government from ireland by force of
arms, He was banished to Van Die
mems Land, formerly Tasmania, and
escaped to the United States.
On every 18TH Of July since the or
ganization of the Orange Society, the
Battle of the Boyne has been celebrated
with violence by the members thereof
in parts of Ulster where they form a
majority of the population. There is
to be celebration on a large scale
on the 2Sth of this month througho out
Ulster, and the Liberal government Of
England deems it of sufficient signia-
canoe to have troops there on the &C.
caslon to protect the life and property
or Home Rulers from the ravages Of
the Orangemen. There is a party in
power that will enforce law and order
and the Orangemen know it. If nee
essary, any violence offered by these
lawless conspirators to constituted an-
thorlty will be put down by the armed
forces of the crown. 1t is about time
to teach these ruffians a lesson thew
will not soon forget. Carson, Camp
bell and Bonar Law the spokesman for
and the leaders of the Orangemen, if
present to inctte to disturbance, should
be arrested and Jailed to await their
trial for intimidation of his majestv's
subjects in Ireland. Until Ireland gets
the right of self government, it is the
duty of the crown to protect the Irish
from such rabid bigots as the follow
ers of William of Orange. When Ire
land is governing herself she will not
ask England to help her in any emer-
gency that may arise. Her own sons
will protect her.

American continent was unexplored

sparsely settled. Ohio was the far

Father curran displayed his great in

with him was present in wilkesbarre
when the great miners meeting and

same time.
The Armory on the occasion of the
public meeting held in connection with
the jubilee was packed. All the speak,

There was a parade of Catholic and

there was a dinner at Harvey's Lake,
to which three hundred sat down.
In the course of an address deliv-

me most in what he said a while ago
is that he has made good every word
of it with deeds. Words are worth
nothing unless they are translated in

absolutely borne out by his life. He
has indeed been the servant of his
flock.
Father Curran is one of those for

soft heads do almost as much harm
as people with hard hearts. He has
rendered efficient service to all about

He has combined the qualities IF

oppressed by the strong. There isn't
anything in life quite as we'll worth

CATHOLIC WOMEN
Advised to Vote by Archbishop Of San
Francisco.

FRANCISCO.
An appeal to women to make use of
their right to vote has been made by
Ut Rev. Patrick,.W. Riordan, arch
bishop of San. Francisco, through the
pastors of the vaarious churches in his
diocese. In a letter addressed to the
pastors the archbishop suggests that
the matter be brought to the at.en-
tons of the congregation and that
women be urged to register that they
may be able to vote
The fact is pointed out that all ,eu-
pie having the right to vote incur
thereby civic responsibility. Re!ig-
ious responsibility is not the only
thing to be considered, and the duty
OF good citizenship is of immense i'm
portance, he says. Whether or not
giving the ballot to women was neces-
sary or for the best is completely be-
side the point, and, inasmuch as it
has been 4 given, the responsibility
should be taken up by them.
b. The letter follows:
REV. and Dear Father: While our
Catholic people, with the high ideals
which the church holds before them,
ought to be models of right living and
exemplars Of the highest Christian
virtue, they should also possess a high
degree of civic virtue.
THE enjoyment of the privileges
and blessings of citizenship imposes
correlative duties and obligations
which no citizen should ignore. Among
these duties the chiefest is voting. Es-
pecially is this true in a country with
our form of government in which a
vote has but an arithmetical value.
Majorities rule, both in making the
laws and in choosing our officials;
hence it is clear that the stability Of
our government depends ultimately
upon the civic and moral virtues of
its individual citizens.
"our Catholic people, theref ore,
should be not only law-abiding citi-
zens. but should take part in the max
ing of the laws under which they live,
and in the election Of officers worthy
to administer the laws when made.
This is true for women as we'll as for
men.
I'm California woman suffrage is
now an accomplished fact. Women
ought not, therefore. to premit their
traditional love for the virtues of the
home, their innate dignity and becom-
ing reserve to prevent them from dis
charging the chiefest of civic obliga-
tions. I wish, therefore, you would
take a seasonable opportunity of adj
vising our new electors to register.
that they may be at all times prepared
to give their services in making Cali
fornia a model state and Of handing
down to the children that come after
them tradition of righteousness and
of unselflsh patriotism. Yours sin
cerely in Christ.

ROMAN CATHOLIC

Since Bryce's 1.-THE Holy Roman
Empire" appeared, just fifty years ago,
some idea of what Rome has meant in
the history of mankind has filtered
into the mind of the educated public.
The fact that for eight or nine centur-
les, about a fourth of all the time of
which we have distinct knowledge, 1t
comprised the whole civilized world
has been ,srasped pretty generally. So
has the fact that the idea of tts uni-
Iversal empire survived till the day of

A DAUGHTER OF THE PUR,rANs

A DAUGHTER OF THE PURlTANS.
On the first page of today's issue
we reproduce from the Literary Digest
a most interesting article on Mrs Rose
Hawthorne Lathrop, the Mother AL
phonsa of the Servants of Relief for
hcurable Cancer. Mrs. Latllrop is the
daughter of Nathaniel Hawthorne, the
American novelist, and the widow of
George Parsons Lathrop, who edited
the Atlantic Monthly for many years,
After her marriage, Mr.. and Mrs.
Lathrop, who were both Of Puritan
ancestry for generations, took up the
study of Catholic doctrine by mutual
consent, and being highly educated
and intellectually honest, they in due
time became convinced that the Cath
olic Church, and the Catholic Church
alone, was the only church for them
Having the courage of their convic-
tions, they embraced the Catholic
faith of their English forefathers.
Before the death Of Mr.. Lathrop, he
was requested by a Puritan friend to
give his reasons for becoming a Cath
ole. and this he did in an article
which is now published in pamphlet
form by the Catholic International
Truth Society with headquarters in
New York. Every subscriber of the
Irish Standard should read the pam
