MR.. REDMoND's ZEAL.

Mr.. Redmond is one of the hardest
if not the hardest worker in the Irish
Nationalist party. He is devoting all
his wonderful energy to the attain
ment of the cause which he has made
his life work. Mr.. William O'Malley,
M. p, brother-in-law of T. P. O'Con-
nor, writing on the subject of Home
Rule says:
"Mr. Redmond is quite alive to the
necessities of the situation. No man
is doing more, or could do more. than
he to make the passage of Home Rule
safe. He works like galley slave.
Ever vigilant in the House of Com
mons, which in itself is the most ex-
citing and exhaustive work, he goes
through the length and breadth OF
England preaching the cause OF Ire
land and making converts. He gets
lieutenants to do likewise, for he sees
clearly the necessity of not only en-
Ii. ;htening the British electors, but of
counteracting the lies and calumnies
of the enemy.
II am sure the Irish people have no
true conception of the difficulties that
have to be encountered. If they had,
there would be less captious criticism
and a more enthusiastic support. The
enemies of Home Rule are powerful
and INSCRIPTIONS. They have mex
haustible funds at their disposal. and
they have a prejudice, and as far as
. 1gland is concerned, an ignorant
people to play upon. Beaten on the
Insurance bill they hope to make

and a grand rally they will assuredly
make. Already their new leader has
opened fire at Boote. and other big
guns will open fire on the Party whose
policy they declare means the dis

the criticism seems to have been pro-

TO INVADE ULSTER,

Ulster Is going to have chance to
listen to plain facts on the Home Rule
question from the lips of Home Rule
leaders who are to carry the gospel to
their very doors. On February 8 Mr..
Winston Churchill, Mr.. John Red
mond and Mr.. Joseph Devlin are to
address a Home Rule meeting in Ul-
ster Hall. Belfast. Lord Pirrie will
preside. The meeting is being ar
ranged by the Ulster Liberal Associa-
ton and is expected to attract large
gathering Of Liberals and Nationalist
from the northern province.
The appearance of Mr.. Churchill in
Belfast as champion of Home Rule
will doubtless create no small amount
Of interest as his father, Lord Ran
dolph Churchill, appeared in the same
hall about twenty-five years ago to
declare against this same doctrine
But Lord Randolph Churchill was not
violent opponent of Irish self-gov-
eminent. He felt that the people were
improperly treated and advocated
measures which he believed would
ameliorate their condition.
The demonstration on February
will be watched with interest. The
nurpose of the promoters of the plan
is to eXpel the anti-Home Rule preiu-
dice bv explaining what Home Rule
means. The principal objection made
bv Ulster is that if an Irish Parlia-
ment We're established Ulster would
be helpless to bring about legislation
which it wanted because of the large
Catholic representation there would be
from the other provinces. That, of
course, is assuming that the divisions
in the future Irish Parliament will
take place along religious lines. Now
the purpose of the Nationalist party
is to convince the Protestants of Ul-
ster that politics and religion in Ire
land will be kept as far apart under
the new 10TH Ol SONeilllAlell DIS lHey
are now. If Ulster can be convinced
of that the war threats will fade
away. The appearance of Mr.. Church.
i'll, Mr.. Redmond and Mr.. Devlin in
Belfast ought to dispel some of the
prejudice that now exists. The stand
that Ulster is taking is unwarranted
and absurd. listers representation in
the Imperial Parliament is practically
divided half and half between Home
Rulers and anti-Home Rulers. Why
should the province then be so demon
stratlve? Let the men of Ulster listen
to the logic OF the situation as 1t will
be explained to them at the corning
meeting and act accordingly.

A great friend of every generous
cause, says the Catholic Register, a
for many a year in his newspaper
Truth-and in Parliament, supported
Irish Home Rule when it found few
supporters in England. the wittiest
man of half a century, the ruthless
foe to pretentious sham and quackery,
passed away this week, when Henry
Labouchere died. His wife and chill
dren are Catholics. God give light and
rest to his pleasant soul.

Mr.. SHAW AND IRISH PLAYERS.

The Irish players are making a
unique record in America if not one
that they can take particular pride
in recalling. They are usually re-
ceived with boots of indignation ac-
companied by showers of decayed
animal and vegetable matter when
they attempt to insult the Irish race
in America by presenting their pagan
drama, THE Playboy of the Western
World" In Philadelphia last week
they were hailed before the court
charged with the crime of producing
sacriegious and immoral play.
George Bernard Shaw, the playwright,
interview in London, remarked:
1.-The occurrence is too ordinary to
excite comment. All decent people are
arrested in the United States. That
is the reason why we have refused all
Invitations to go there. Besides, who
am l that l should question Philadel-
phias right to make itself ridiculous?
Il warned the Irish players that
America is governed by mysterious
race, probably one Of the lost tribes
of Israel, calling themselves American
Gaels. 1t is an especially dangerous
country for genuine Irishmen and
Irish women. American Gaels are the
real playboys Of the western world
Whatever Mr.. Shaw is to be given
credit for it cannot be tact. All de-
cent people are arrested in the United
States, he says. Perhaps that is true
If we take into account what Mr..
Shaw means by decent people. We
are glad it is true If he includes the
producers Of the immoral drama, 1.-THE
Playboy of the Western World" in his
class of decent people.
Again note the inconsistency of the
last two sentences. He says America
is dangerous country for genuine"
Irishmen and Irish women and adds,
"the American Gaels are the real
playboys of the western world" On
Mr.. Shaw's own authority then "The
Playboy of the Western World does
not represent genuine Irish char
;.cter. Now that is the point for
which Irish Americans have been con-
tending all along. The play is base,
Immoral and nnrenraSentative of Ira.
land. No genuine Irishman would
make a hero of a man who committed
patricide. The fact that the Playboy
is not genuine Irish character is
, g whole point of contention, the sole
reason why Irish Americans are re-
jecting it. And now George Bernard
Shaw agrees. Thanks, MIR. Shaw, for
the admission!

DEFENDS DIVORCE.

1t is not often that a minister who
processes to be an Interpreter of the
word of God stoops to champion the
cause of indiscriminate divorce Yet
when we consider how many hundreds
of divorced non Catholics are each
year married within and with the full
approval of their churches it Is not
surprising to find minister who
champions divorce. Rev. ]. w. Nor
gan does take such position and at
tempts to bolster it up by arguments
in long article in the Homiletic Re-
view for January. After characterize
ing the indiscriminate refusal to re-
marry all divorced persons as unreal
sonable, he proceeds thus:
"In. fact, the divorce movement is in
large measure an expression of wo-
mans growing independence, and it
is not without significance that the

THE BREWERY IN POLITICS.


ing large amount of attention at the
present time is that of brewery DOM
ination in politics. 1t has become
widespread, is in no wise confined to
Minnesota and bids fair to reach ma
tional proportions. County option in
this state which was made an unsuc-
cessful issue in the last gubernatorial
contest, is largely the outgrowth of
dissatisfaction with brewery control in
politics and for this, if for no other
reason, is bound to grow in favor.
In our own city and state the brew
ery-owned saloon is looked upon as a
corrupting force in politics. 1t would
not be so if those engaged in the bust
ness were perfectly Independent Of
the brewers. AS it is, however, of the
400 or more saloons in Minneapolis
over 80 per cent of them are owned
or controlled by the brewers and the
licenses are paid by them. 1t is but
fair to say, also, that while there are
many good men in the business the
number would be much greater if they
were free from such control.
The power of the breweries to con-
troll saloons on large scale is the
source of the political power of the
liquor interests. Their large capital
and facilities for doing business on an
ir,,p mt in a r,nCifinn
to influence an enormous vote and to
practically dictate how a vast num-
Der of dependents on them shall cast
their ballots. The breweries realize
the advantage they gain by operating
their own saloons. Every wine room
they control means a certain increase
stability for their trade. 1t means in
addition the control largely of the
votes of the men whom they place in
charge of the business. Further than
that it means that those whom they
thus place in charge can, by giving
free beer with free advice as to how
of their patrons. Are the people of
this state going to let the interests
thus referred to go on controlling leg
islation in the future as they have in
the past? The present Governor of
this state is not man who has the
stamina to stand behind and enforce
rigid policy. Public sentiment should
demand that the men who declare
their candidacy for that office should
pledge themselves to use their power,
if elected, to devise law which will
make the control of saloons by brew
cries illegal. If both parties will in
corporate pledge to that effect in
their platforms it will place the brew
cries in a position in which their po.
litical power will be greatly reduced.
Then if the people follow up this lead
by electing to the legislature men who
will pledge themselves to support a
bill making illegal brewery ownership
of saloons, the question can be solved.
There ought to be legal way Of
remedying this abuse, for an abuse IT
is which is grave both as a political
factor and as a destroyer of public
morals.

THE IRONY OF FATE.

i;Oclal1Sm is not q new doctrine in
Germany. For years the Socialists
have had considerable representation
in the Reichstag. Prior to the recent
election they had fifty three members
out of total of $50. The election
has resulted in an increase in their
strength. 1t will mean that the Gov
erni. ant working majority will be de-
creased in the next Reichstag and that
the Catholic centre party will be re-
lied on more than ever to save the
country.
When Socialist leaders proclaim
that the advent of Socialism means
peace for the world, the dawn of an
age when social ills will be reduced to
minimum. the promise sounds flat
tcring enough. But when they pro-
coed to tell the methods by which
they will bring their dream to re-
alization the evil of Socialism be-
comes apparent. Witness this state
ment from the pen of Herr Bebel who
was the leader of the German Social
istic party a few years ago:
1--WE must wage an unrelenting war
against the Church, because she TO-
ments civil war among the workers.
We must take away from her, her
control over public education which
she uses to corrupt children who
would otherwise becomes Socialists.
We must attack her because her eco
Monies, her politics. her ethics are
contrary to our IDEAL"
in SO many words that Christianity
is the greatest enemy to their cause.
They would have the community of
interests extend even to wives and
families. Free love is their ultimate
doctrine. When the chief opponents
of this doctrine speak thus openly it
is time to take warning. The con-
tention that Socialism is no more anti
Christian than other political doctrines
does not hold. We are aware that
there are men in both of the leading
parties in this country who are OPP
posed to the Catholic Church. But
their opposition to the Church is not
a part of their political doctrine. Both
of the parties as parties are opposed
to the introduction Of religious ques-
tons into political matters. 1t is not
SO with Socialism. It's leaders (and
we can judge the party only by the
men who WELD power In it) are out
spokenly and bitterly opposed to
Christianity.
Germany is facing serious prob
lem. The gains which the Socialists
are making seem to indicate that
somewhere there is something wrong.
The Catholic Centre party is MAIN
tanning its strength. In the last
it was the strongest single
party. 1t Is the nucleus around which
the government must concentrate it's
forces if the country is to be saved
from Socialism.
Is it not the grim irony of fate that
the country which Martin Luther per-
verified from the fold should now find
it's main strength in opposing the evils
of Socialism in a party made up of
men who profess the religion he drove
from the land?
