THE FLAG UNDER HOME RULE.


In discussion ON the flag to be
used in Ireland under Home Rule, on
the last committee. day in the House
of Commons, MIR. aMacVeagh stirred
up the Unionists by saying there
was no such thing as the Union
Jack" typifying the union of Great
Britain and Ireland. :,
MI. BirreYt, CHEF secretary, said it
was not surprising that Irishmen who
disliked the Union should DISLIKE the
flag that reminded them of that
Union, but that feeling did not inter-
fere with the loyalty of the Irish
people to the British Empire.
Mr.. Balfour, the nephew of the late
lord Salisbury, who threatened
twenty years coercion or Manitoba"
on the Irish if they did not give III
their aspirations for self.government,
followed Mr.. Birrell and brought Mr..
McVeagh to task for pouring ridicule
OH the Union jack" the flag of the
Empire. "If, after this bill was
passed." said Balfour. "they were 60
ing to fly purely Irish flag in Ire
land, if they were going to appeal to
pure Irish sentiment, and if they
thought that after that they would
make Ireland bear the same relation
to the United Kingdom and the En-
pire which Scotland bore to the Uni.
ted Kingdom and the Empire. they
We're srievously mistaken"
Balfour prides himself on his Scotch
origin and on the loyalty OF the
Scotch to the Empire. and he wants
the Irish to initiate the subserviency
of the Scotch and lose their identity

THE ARCHBISHOP
Asserts That a Church Without a
Doctrine Is Absurd,

Doctrine Is Absurd.
"A church without dogmas or doc
trines is the absurdity of all absurdi-
ties" said Archbishop Ireland in
powerful sermon at the Cathedral last
Sunday, and in which he criticized
many of the later day churches, and
indirectly the new church that Rev.
c. w. Barnes. former pastor of the
First Christian church, proposes
starting January 5 in the Grand Opera
house.
In published statement Rev. Mr..
Barnes said any religion that does not
conserve the physical, social ana NOR
al welfare of society is not to be toll
Grated. He said the social revolu-
ton now in progress demands new
statement of the teaching Of Jesus
Christ in terms OF our own civiliza-
ton.
''I1 this age of great inventions and
discoveries. hardly a week goes by
that we do not have some re-state-
nent or new statement Of the teach
ing of Christ" said Archbishop Ire
land, "and these simply mean that
man has grown too big and too ma
jestic for the Savior Of 1000 years
ago. Let the world so on in it's folly,
but the pure soul will attune itself to
God and spread it's heavenly lights
about us. The newspapers and re-
views of today say that humanitarian
ism is religion: in fact religion passes
away. Christ proved his divinity by
his miracles. One hears in the world
today people saying, I want to be
good, 1 am good husband. am a
good father, ! am charitable and I
lead good life, but do not want a
church with a doctrine 1t is not
enough to be good husband, a good
father and a good citizen, for the first
commandment says one must love and
adore God with his whole heart. his
whole soul and his whole mind. Christ
was the supreme lawmaker. and he
did not come to teach us of earthly
things, he left that to our own in
genuity. He came to teach us of our
spiritual welfare. II the church was
this worlds things, it would be your
enemy. 1t is the duty of the church
to teach You not Of these few years,
but Of eternal life.
"a church without doctrine is a
rebellion against Christ's teachings,
and Christ is God. Our miseries are
the consequences Of our sins and
pride in this world, and the teachings
Of the Savior who came 1000 years
ago cannot change. There Is no re-
statement or new statement OF the
teachings of Jesus Christ. 1t is only
that man thinks he is more majestic
than Christ the Son of Cod"
The Archbishop said one OF the
,, great troubles was that men let
Christmas go by without ever stop
ping to analyze what it means or why
Christ came to earth. He said that
man was supposed to gather such fair
store of this worlds goods as came to
him legitimately. but that Christs
missio:, was to teach Of the life here
after and how man must secure his
| salvation.
The Cathedral was crowded to the
doors when the Archbishop began ia
speak. Although at no time preach.

| The official organ of Apaism pub
lished in Missouri has addressed an
open letter to President-elect Wilson
requesting him not to appoint any
Catholic citizens to any Office in his
gift on the ground that they cannot
be true to America and to their
church at the same time. OF course,
President Wilson will pay no heed
to such request. He knows no re-
ljgion in politics and will exercise
the functions of his high Office re-
gardless of the religious faith of his
political adherents. He is historian
who knows that at all times since the
establishment of the republic, in peace
and in war, no citizens have displayed
more patriotism than the Catholics of
this country.
On the other hand who are the
self-styled patriots who cast reflec-
lions on the integrity of Catholics
as loyal citizens? Are they not the
offspring of American Tories who
sought refuge in Canada after the
termination of the Revolutionary war
to escape lynching at the hands Of
their American neighbors for depreda-
tons committed in the cause of King
George? Are they not the descend
ants OF copperheads who fled to Can

Is NEW AUTO BANDIT GANG AT
WORK IN CHICAGO?
The probability that there is new
auto bandit gang operating in Chi
cago, more deadly and more cunning
than the Perry-Webb band, has been
advanced by the police, following the
murder of a Waterman in a raid on
Mandel Bros branch delivery sta
ton at 1855 w. VanBuren street,
early this morning. ..
Four masked robbers drove up in
an automobile, bound and gagged
two employees at the place and shot
down and killed Michael Waschuk,
the night Waterman. Then they
calmly broke open the safe and fled
with $4,000 in bills and silver.
The robbery occurred shortly after
o'clock. Watson Smith, the night
foreman, gives the following account
of the crime: ...
There were only four of us on
duty when the robbery occurred. 1
was in one of the wagons fixing a
wire. Suddenly heard Pete Tonish,
one of the Poles employed here,
shout. l turned around and found
myself looking into the muzzle of a
revolver
'The light was dim, but the rob-
bers cut the wires and left the place
in darkness. Before the lights went
out saw four men. 1 don't think
there were any more.
"Tonish and Waschuk began to
struggle with the men. 1 jumped
down and went to their assistance
While we were fighting a revolver
went off right behind my ear. 1
thought was shot. Then, by the
light of the window, 1 saw Waschuk
fall to the ground.
with him out of the way the four
men soon overpowered us and gag
ged us. Then they tied us to the
wagons. They turned on DOOR Was

Tonish. Then they called the police.
Mrs. Catherine Vendetta, 1852
Congress street, right behind the
Mandel Bros barn, said she heard
four men running past her house.
She thought they were speaking
Italian.
Waschuk, who lived at 729 w. 18th
place, leaves a wife and four chill
dren.
1t is thought by the police that the
robbers had an accomplice, who wait
ed about a block from the place with
the auto. Capt. Ryan of the Warren
avenue station, thinks that it might
be the same gang that held up the
Garfield State Bank messenger.
A high-powered automobile, con-
tanning four men, and with all the
lights out, was. seen in the loop this
morning. So far the police have re-
ceived no report of car being
stolen.
Officials of the firm believe the rob-
bers may have been aided by en-
ployes. Today was to have been
payday at the place.
One man is being held as suspect
at the Warren avenue station.
