Stage irishmen.

Two young trishmen. dressed in
knee breeches, green stockings, ragged
swallow tail coats and wearing dilapi-
dated hats and green neckerchiefs-
they were stage Jrishmen---walked up
the stairs to the platform where irish
dances were being danced in Gaelic
Park. Chicago, July 25 They did not
get quite up to the platform before
two Of the officials saw them.
The two young men were firmly but
thrust back down the
steps by the officials. They we're told
they could not enter the Irish Jig
dancing contests.
I'VE have been fighting this sort of
thing IS years." explained Donald
O'Connor, master of ceremonies at the
first annual Chicago Feis. This Is

men,

Jewish Tribute to Church.

The american Israelite' in a recent
issue pays the following glowing trib-
ute to the Catholic Church.:
1T must be said of the Roman
Catholic Church that 1t always was
able to inspire a considerable number
of it's priests with the spirit of self
sacrifice In mission service. We are
reminded Of this by the report of the
death Of the Jesuit priest. 1sador nu-
puy, who succumbed to leprosy in
Madagascar, after having served as
in that country for seven
teen years. He Is the tenth priest
stricken with that terrible malady
within fifteen years. Surely, there can
be no stronger proof Of devotion to a
cause than the fact that the devotee
is willing to face a danger or, one
might say, almost the. certainty Of
death. and what is more, of a slow
death, resulting from the most terrible
malady in the catalogue Of the affiic.
tions Of the human race.

Again in 1S93 when the second
home rule bill was before parliament,
similar scenes were enacted. The riot-

Fiendish Atrocities Committed.
With the introduction Of the third
home rule bill came recurrence of
the bluff and bluster SO frequently
heard in the past. Came. too, a rccur-
renee of the rioting, wrecking. and
looting which accompanied the out
bursts of past years. Came also Hend :.
ish attacks on inoffcnsive, unprotected
home rulers.
Cable dispatches have told of Ul-
ster's protests; have told, too, Of ul-
stermens dread Of an Irish parliament.
They have told naught, however, of

ped a workman naked in a Belfast
shipyard and held him over a fire un-
til driven off by men armed with ham
mers. Neither have they told Of many
hundreds Of English and Scotch work
mon driven from their employment
simply because they were known as
f;ivoring home rule. Why they have
not told of these and hundreds OF
other cases seems a pertinent 1ues-
ton. Can 1t be that the charges of
| bias sometimes made against them are
justified?
! Opponents Fear Loss Of Power.
The question remains why a. section
of Ireland opposes the granting to the
/ Irish people Of the right to make their
own laws, as every state in this union
does now. Their reasons are purely
selfish. For three centuries they and
thsar- ancestors have been the rec'pi.

most Of this period the laws proscrtb-
ing Catholics prevented any division

Dean Henry Wade Rogers, Of the Yale
Law School, in an article written FOR

grounds on which, in his opinion, Presi-
dent Taft and Mr.. Roosevelt should be

From a STAFF Correspondent OF The Tribune
Beverly, Mass, Sept 26.-Charles u.
Hllles, chairman OF the Republican Ma

into Governor Woodrow Wilson on the
Subject OF the tariff and the Democratic
attitude thereto In a statement he gave

is the Issue upon which the thousands OF

found voting for him again this fall.
