Sir Edward Carson and the other
leaders apparently expect to be at
tackled with guns, bayonets and regI-
ments, or at least with sticks and
stones and knives. But there are other
and more effective means of enforcing
lawful authority. They forget that now
adays a government gives more than it
takes, that it furnishes the mail ia
cilities, attends to the clearing Of
ships, provides for the probating of
estates Of men who have holdings in
foreign countries and does many 9TH
er things of vital Importance to the
citizen. All the government will have
to do II it does not care to oblige Mr..
Carson by sending regiments to Ulster
is to stand aside. If Ulster should in
sist upon going out, why Ulster can
be allowed to go; but suppose at the
same time listers mail service stops.
The facilities for feeding a great city
are largely carried on by mail, and
cities live from hand to mouth. In
three days Belfast would feel the pinch
of hunger, and Sir Edward Carson in
stead Of leading shouting supporters
would be flying from hungry and an
cry multitudes.
add to the stoppage Of the malls
the fact that Ulster standing alone
could not clear ship SO that the ves-
sci would be admitted to another port,
and that the will of man having an
estate in another country If probated
in one of the courts established by this
Ulster government could certainly not
be acknowledged by any other nation,
+ and you get an idea Of what might
happen. And remember a government
has the right to choose its own method
of enforcing it's authority, that is to
say Of preserving peace. it's most i'm
portant function. and certainly no gov
ernment can be expected to furnish
rebels with facilities to carry on resis-
; tance and thus finance opposition
against itself. If fight comes it will
be Belfast against itself-fury and big
otry against bread"

San Francisco May Establish a Little

Already the greatest interest is be-
ing manifested in the Forthcoming
production in San Francisco of two
new Irish plays by the well-known
Irish playwright Seumas O'Brien.
O'Brien's comedy. Triumph of Fail

Thanksgiving time by the Dramatic
Club of St. Domnics, while his one
act tragedy, Malachi Desmond" will
be put on December 10 by the Irish
Players and Singers Club.

the notable series of entertainments
for which the noble edifice Is thrown

days in November. His subject will
be ''The Hour and It's Opportunity. -
He will take up the problems of edu-

point the way for education for citi-
Zenship. It was for this civic purpose
that the committee Of prominent men
chose Mr.. Coler as one of the speakers.
He comes heralded as one of the
few men Of the country fitted by rea-
son of their natural aptitude, personal
experience and official career, to speak
authoritatively on the solution Of in
tricate municipal and civic questions.
He is the man who, after being elected
to the controllership Of New York city
on the Tammany ticket, drew attention
to himself by his downright refusal
to allow his department to be drawn
into politics to the public disadvan-
tage, and by his blunt charges of cor
ruption among city officials and thus
winning the disfavor Of Tammany hall
The courage with which he fought
corruption surprised the public as well
as the politicians. His very courage
defeated his political future for Rich

nominated for mayor Of New York
city, and. though he won the nomina-
ton for the governorship of New York

poles.

ing of Silverton Oregon
journal

]. e. Hosmer, editor of the Silver
ton Journal, has been found guilty Of
libeling the Benedictine Convent of
Mt. Angel and has been sentenced to
pay fine of 5000. The case was tried
at Salem, Ore, Oct 81, before a jury
in Judge Kelly's department of the
Circuit Court.
The libelous statements were made
in a pamphlet published by the de-
fendant. He published an interview
with Mary Laseman, said to have "es-
capped" from the institution, rejecting
upon the morals of the convent. A
suit for $4,000 damages also is pend
ing against him.
Kidnapping Charge Disproved.
A fight for continuance was made
by the defense on the ground that
Miss Laseman could not be brought
to court at present, but Judge Kelly
overruled the motion and ordered the
empaneling of jury. The defense
also insisted that there were two
charges in the indictment, one that
the institution had been Hbeled, and
another that persons connected with
it had been nbeled. Judge Kelly was
asked to instruct the prosecution to
elect one of the charges upon which
to proceed, but the court held that
the Institution and those connected
with its management were so closely
allied that the allegations virtually
amounted to one.
Sister Mary Agatha, mother supe.
rior, testified that there was no truth
in the charges. She denied that Mary
Laseman had been kidnapped in the
East and brought to the convent, de-
claring that the woman applied at
the branch convent in Portland for
admission to the institution. The wit
ness testified that Mary Laseman left
the institution without obtaining per
ndssion about three months after sh
was admitted as nun. She violated
her pledge in leaving, said the mother
superior, but the authorities made nc
effort to restrain her from going.

Tunultuous approval swayed the
great audience which assembled to
hear the second lecture in the civic
symphony which is marking the dedi-
cation Of the magnificent new Pro-
Cathedral. The Hon. John Barrett,
director general of the Pan-American
Union, was the speaker and he voiced
tremendous Americanism that found
most cordial response in the hearts Of
his hearers, while his eloquence
thrilled the $500 persons who had as
his audience by the wonderful tribute

Mr.. Barrette pronounced his encom-
ium, and only ceased when Archbishop
Ireland acknowledged the response Of
the audience to the tribute, with smiles
and bows.
Minneapolis and the Northwest are
to be Congratulated upon the approach
ing completion Of this noble house of
Cod" Mr.. Barrett declared. "But Min
neapolis and the Northwest are to be
even more congratulated upon the fact
that they have in their midst, in the
great character which has conceived
and forwarded the movement for this
edif1ce, one Of the noblest men Of the
nation-Archbishop Ireland.
IF the first ten men," he continued,
"in the constructive history of the
present were to be selected by the vote
of the American people, I have no
doubt that among these would be the
name of Archbishop Ireland"
Mr.. Barrett was introduced to the
audience by Mayor Wallace G. Nye,
who spoke in praise Of the men who
had made the Pro- Cathedral possible
and thanked them for their contribu-
tion to the beauty Of the city.
When Archbishop Ireland led Mr..
Barrett forward the vast audience
rose as one to meet them. After read
ing in rather a perfunctory manner a
few paragraphs of set lecture, Mr..
Barrett threw his manuscript aside
and launched with fervor into a bril-
liant exposition of his subject "Amer-
lea and Her Sister Americas" For an
hour and half he poured forth tor
rent Of eloquence working to the climax
of urging the North American people
to stand by their "Sister Americas in
the south. He urged his audience to
stand by their president and not to
demand Intervention of Mexico.
ARMED intervention in Mexico" he
said, would in moment bring the
greatest disaster in American history.
1t would mean almost interminable
war and at what cost? Thousands of
lives Of your own national guard boys,
billions of dollars, and oceans of tears.
To what end? The eternal enmity Of
not only Mexico, but of every Latin
American republic: the destruction Of
their trust in US, confidence that
should be our most cherished ideal.
Back your president in his efforts for
peace. Hush your cry for war.
