Mr.. RoosEvELT's CAGE.

A case that is unique In the history
of the United States Is being tried at
Marquette. Michigan, where Ex-Presi-
dent Theodore Roosevelt is defending
himself against the charge that he is
addicted to the drink habit. In the
testimony Mr.. Roosevelt has admitted
that he is not a total abstainer, but as
serted very strongly that he is not in
the habit of using strong drink to ex-
cess. He said he has never drunk
whisky or brandy except when it has
been prescribed by doctors or on some
occasions after great exposure. He ad-
mitted having drunk in all half dozen
mint juleps while at the White House.
The case is one that is attracting
worldwide interest, involving, as it
does, a man who has been known and
admired not only by the American
people, but In every country in Europe.
The charge against him is serious
one. It>reflects on his character and in
this age when sobriety is becoming so
highly priced as an attribute Of man.
illness, Mr.. Roosevelt could not well al
low the charge to pass unnoticed. II
he wins his suit it will mean that he
will retain the higher place in the es-
timation of the public.
1t has a higher significance than q
matter personal to the Elk President
1t has bearing on the entire temper
ance movement in the country. II
young men can point to Mr.. Roosevelt
as man who drank to excess and at
the same time attained to the position
he held in the esteem of the nation,
they might use it as an argument why
they should use drink. Mr.. Roosevelt's
successful refutation of the charge
brought against him will remove that
ground for argument.
How this will terminate will be in
teresting to watch.

AMERICAS DEBT TO ENGLAND

Under the above caption The Min
neapolis Tribune last Sunday carried
syndicate story written by William
w. Young in which Thomas Canty,
formerly Of this city, is named as one
of the prominent and influential men
from whom America is indebted to
England. Mr.. Canty is no longer in
Minneapolis. He removed from here
some time since to go to Brazil and
the story will probably not come to
his attention. II he were here we
would not attempt to speak for him,
because we feel the author of the ar
ticle would hear from him, and that
not in a complimentary vein
Mr.. Canty is of Irish blood and as
staunch q defender Of Ireland and her
rights as ever set foot on American
soil. While here he took a leading
part in every movement for the good
of Ireland. He was believer in the
right Of Ireland to govern herself and
used his influence wherever he was
able to further that cause. He be-
lieved in Home Rule and was never
backward in cheering and defending
the men who fought for the realiza-

ton of that ideal. We have no doubt

ton Of that ideal. We have no doubt
that he is of the same mind yet.
Another name mentioned in the ar
ticle is that of Rear Admiral Charles
o'Neil. Mr.. O'Neil may have been an
Englishman in the sense that he was
born in England. But the name does
not brand him as a man of English
blood. In his case it would seem that
America might be indebted in some
degree, If not entirely, to Ireland.
But it is not an uncommon thing
to see England given credit for the
deeds of men Of Irish nationality. 1t
happens in the case Of men of let
tiers, of jurists and men in every other
walk Of life. What we need is to have
Irishmen known by their rightful ma
tionality so that their deeds may
shine, not on the land which most of
them strongly oppose in it's treatment
of Ireland, but on the land OF their
birth.

CHURCH MEMBERSHIP.

Only fifteen per cent of the popula-
ton of Minnesota is identified with the
Churches of all Christian faiths in the
state, according to a statement made
at the Northern Baptist convention,
now in session at Detroit, by Rev. L. A.
Crandall, a Baptist minister of this
city.
"a study of twelve large American
Cities" DR.. Crandall said, Shows that
in but one Of the number do the COM
municants Of Christian bodies-Catho-
lie and Protestant combined-equal the
nom Christian population"
The same speaker asserted that on
the best obtainable data only two per
cent of the population of Minnesota
belongs to Protestant bodies exclusive
of the Lutheran church.
If the statements of DIR. Crandall are
look is truly dark for Christianity. 1t
behooves the churches to investigate
the cause of this woefully small per.
centage of church membership. More
than that, since it is conceded that the
Catholic Church has by far the largest
membership Of any of the churches, it
speaks we'll for its rigorous rules an.
the strict requirements for member
ship.
May not the laxity In church mem
bership be properly attributed to the
fact that the non-Catholic churches
are lapsing into mere social centers in
stead of maintaining the position of
institutions where the great truths Of
religion are taught? Once a church
attempts to become popular by getting
away from the strict teachings of the
Gospels 1t loses hold on the people. No
church can retain membership that
has not something concrete and def
mite 10 oHer. ,.i,-e sSsl&t4.s- xsssy,5.

lament. This IL not at all probable
unless some unforeseen issue should
arise that would divide sentiment to
such degree that the Liberal and
Irish parties would be in the minority
when it came to a vote. If that
should happen it would mean that
Parliament would be dissolved and
another election declared. Even if
the Liberals were to win the election
it would for the cause of Home Rule
by two years at least, for the bill
would have to be started all over on
its course.
In the present situation, therefore,
it behooves the party now in power
to avoid all stormy sallies. The work
OF a year, so far as the Irish party is
concerned, is now staked on the main
tenance Of the present party align
ment.
There is hope in the outlook that
year hence the Irish Government
bill will be going through its last
stages. 1t will be an exciting time, a
time when the attention of the entire
world will center on Ireland. To win
the fight after all those long years
Of struggle since the act of Union
was passed will be the occasion for
jubilation in Ireland such as the
country has never known in all it's
history.

NO AMENDMENTS ALLOWED.

The clause in the Government bill,
by which the right of veto was to all
purposes withdrawn from the House
Of Lords, providing that bill which
passes the Commons three times in q
period of two years without being al
tered, assures the Home Rule bill
quick passage a second and third
time. According to the conditions of
the law. it would be useless to debate
the bill. because no change will be
allowed in its wording. Otherwise it
would be the same as starting the bill
through the house for the first time.
Owing to that condition the bill will
be introduced as minor measure on
which there is little chance for divi-
sion. 1t will pass as it did before and
with practically the same majority.

Capt. James Connolly, we'll known

"The Magic of the Sea-" a novel that
is attracting much attention, in a re.
cent letter to the editor OF the Irish

concerted effort to boil it down" to
a compelling historical drama. There
is ample material and We arc deter
mined not to relax our efforts until
we have made the best possible use
of it.
My present highest aim and dearest
hope is to have this play produced
in, the national capital during the
week of the unwilling ceremonies of

American Navy Commodore Joan

THE TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT.

THE TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT.
1t is now more than half a century
since the eloquent Father Theobald
Mathew. the Apostle of Temper
ance." rose up as a breakwater against
the flood Of intemperance in Ireland,
Although no successor of his has ever
gained the worldwide fame that he
gained in his opposition to drunken
ness. the movement has not abated
one little and today Ireland holds
higher rank as a temperate nation
than it ever held before. The mighty
influence of Father Mathew gave the
temperance movement an impetus that
1t has never lost He did not rail
blindly against drink. He took the
question in hand, studied it, reasoned
about 1t and in the end gained such
knowledge of it that he reasoned his
auditors into his way of thinking. He
pictured the effects of drunkenness in
their natural colors and demonstrated
the folly Of it all.
1t was a national question as well
as religious question with him.
Drunkenness he knew was running
the country. ''It is the cause Of all
evil, of the crimes and outrages which
have degraded this land" he said. In
this vein he attacked the curse Of
drink and with such strength and
conviction did he oppose the use Of
intoXicants that his fame spread
across the ocean and when he arrived
in America in 1S49 he was acclaimed
by thousands and entertained at the
White House by President Taylor.
His speeches are as readable today
as they were the day they were de-
livered by him.
1T is now time to wipe off the foul
stigma on the name of Irishmen," he
said in one of his famous temperance
lectures, land cease those religious
and political dissesions which have
hitherto distracted this land. There
will be no necessity when you become
good and useful members of society
for your leaving your native country.
Your landlords, seeing you worthy
and Industrious, will help YOU"
The words Of Father Mathew are
as living and as vital today as they
were sixty years ago. Reading them
would be time we'll spent.
