early history Of the state. Both have
left their mark. While Colonel Shee-

ever remain prominent in the history
of Minnesota, Mr.. Mccormick will be
remembered in connection with the
early beginnings of the Catholic edu-

The veterans are rapidly passing,
but they are passing with honor. They
do not need praise. Better it would
be for the rising generation of Irish
men to try to serve their state as

The vote of the House Of Lords on
the Home Rule bill was taken last
Tuesday. Needless to say the bill
was rejected by an overwhelming ma,
jority. The count stood 3O2 against
and "a in favor Of the bill. But the
result is not the cause of worry for
the members of the Irish party. The
result was Inevitable The only means
by which anyone expects Home Rule
to be adopted is In spite Of the House
of Lords, not by their consent. The
bill has now passed two sessions Of
Parliament. 1t needs to pass but once
more when 1t will become law with

June unless the unexpected happens.

MAKING CAPITAL OF THE

Republican arguments in opposition
to the tariff measure were opened in

Cumber of North Dakota. The Sena-

and oratory In which the farmer was
declared to be the one who would suf-

McCumber. you are about to commit a
greater crime against the American
farmer than has ever been perpetrated
by any political party against any class
Of people during any period OF re.
corded time"
That is strong statement too
strong to have real force. II the pro-
posed tariff measure Is as bad as all
that, we cannot understand how any
man or class of men of ordinary intelli-
gence could for a moment think Of vot.

1t is gratifying to learn that the de.
mand for books by Catholic writer's
is steadily increasing; and that the
success Of Monsignor Benson's recent
historical novel Come Rack! Come
Rope!" has been unequalled by any
Catholic work of fiction published in
recent years.
We are informed that the Kennedy
editions of standard Catholic books at
fifty cents each which were placed on
the market in the early spring are
meeting with exceptional favor. In
an interview with the head of the
firm Of P. J. Kennedy & Sons, Mr..
Arthur Kennedy said: 1--WE attribute
the success of our efforts to supply
Catholic classics at low price, large.
ly to the extensive advertising cam
paign which We have maintained for
the past few months; then Of course
our Catholic press is helping US con-
siderably by calling attention to the
merits Of these books, and the value
of clean, wholesome and interestins
reading in the Catholic home. We
confidently expect the sale will not
be seriously impaired in the autumn.

editions will be lessened in order to
make room for our new publications. :"

SHOULD HE HAVE TOLD?

When should boy tell on COM
panion who has committed an Of
tonce? This question is interestedly
discussed in q recently issue of The
Outlook. 1t is put concretely in this
wise:
Good and Bad are two boys, each
fourteen years of age. They attend
the same school. One day Good said
to Bad, Il am going to throw a snow
ball through the window" Good made
no reply. Bad threw the SNOWFALL
and broke the window, and Good saw
him do It. The next morning at school
the teacher asked the pupils singly
and privately the questions, do you
know who broke the Window" and
who broke the Window"
Scores Of prominent authors, journ.
alists. lawyers, judges, churchmen
and men who were particularly ASSOC
ciated with boys were asked to give
their opinion of what Good should
say to each Of the questions, and
whether the teacher should ask the
questions. strikin9ly enough. out Of
about forty responses, one or two
answered conditionally. four said the
boy should have told and all the 9TH
ers said the boy should refuse to an
swer and that the teacher had no
right to put tho question.
The answer Of Most Rev. James H.
Blenk. Archbishop Of New Orleans,
Is typical Of all those who took the
position that Good should refuse to
tell. Archbishop Blenk said:
Good should say, I do not feel
that I should answer this question.
The teacher should not have asked 1t.
II the teacher can ascertain that the
damage was done by one of email
sroup, then these should have the A.
Tentative Of either paying for tho win.
dow or making Bad to confess. The
teacher has not the same right as
the court. The attempt to enforce
such right would initiate strongly
