CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS
Correspondent Voices His Opposition To
Several Proposals.

Editor, Barre Times THE discussion
ON the constitutional amendments ha,
been so limited that few people hav.
considered them at all Some OF them
are very Objectionable. The first, sec.
ond and fifth should be rejected.
As 10 the first, which Lieut.. Gov
Howe opposes, there is little to be said
in its favor IL proposes that instead
OF majority as at present, il shall re-
quire a two.thirds vote To pass bill
II the governor opposes IT, so that he
can crush any legislation II one.third Of
either house will aid him, This can
hardly be called progressive or making
the rule OF the people greater.
There is more to this 10 conside. At
| present when candidate il being Sc
lected for governor ii is enough TO in
quire il he is likely TO make good
executive officer. But If his opinions on
controverted questions were TO be 50.
riously considered, would not available
csndida be difficult to find and when
found be men either unknown, or those
who have no positive convictions on de.
batable questionsf Is it not probable II
the amendment is adopted. that ii any
man who favors license should aspire
TO be governor, prohibitionists would op-
pose his nomination, or ii he were nom
mated be lukewarm in his supports On
the other hand, how many votes would
a prohibitionist lose? Men of positive
opinions would often be impossible can
didates though their executive abilities
might be ever so great
The second amendment is plain. If
the voter wishes TO surrender the prom
inence which Vermont has by its Sep
TENDER election throughout the nation,
and all the free advertising that goes
with it, and prefers November TO a
September day for voting, and wishes
to have an extra session of the legisla
ture called, then he will vote yes ON
this amendment. Will he not sell his
birthright without even getting mess
of pottage for il?
The fifth proposed amendment is the
most Objectionable OF ALL IL proposes
TO take away from the legislature all
power to grant, extend, change or amend
charters for any and all business pur-
poses, including banks, railroads and |
power companies. General laws must |
be formulated to cover all cases that !
may arise. Can it be donef
Why surrender to courts and public |
service commissions the power that can
make or change charters as the public |
good may require? The reason for this /
Is that some time can be saved to the
legislature. We can now compel the
business interests to more generally OBJ
tain charters under general laws, but let

We regret to note that Wilson thu:
carly has felt called upon to organize
an Ananias club and begin electing mem,
bers; but the fact remains that the
famous organization is again before us
with Clip. Castro as first member, This
Venezuelan finds membership by reason
of assertion, credited to him, that Will
son invited him to the Inauguration.
Wilson ought to have learned ere this
that it is idle to attempt to deny all
that is said about the president; for
the more he denies the more some peo-
pie will give him opportunity to deny.
The better way is to keep still and they
will get tired of bringing him into false
light over trivial matters like this.

Senator Dillingham; and Representa-
tive Plumley certainly reflected the sen
timent of Vermont when they appeared
before President Taft and opposed the
new customs distribution plan, which
would unite the Memphemagog and Bur

customs service. They might have add.

tain line barriers and no material les
SEEMING of expense by the union, that
Vermont wants two separate districts
because the emoluments of a united
district would bestow on the single Gus
toms collector too much of this worlds
goods, whereas if the two-district idea
is continued it would spread the re-
turns more equitably. Perhaps it is a
localized argument merely for Vermont,
but it is quite a strong argument in
Vermont.

Rather bit if irony that the man
who is about to 60 out Of the presi-
dents chair is to receive $1,000 year
for serving as professor at Yale, while
the man who has been his secretary is
to receive $4,000 year in business. In
their relations about to be severed, the
former received $4,000 per year and
some accessories, while the latter re-
ceived 81 800. Still we imagine that
the retiring president smiles at the sit
uation as much as the general public
will.

O'Connell," the Father of Catholic
Emancipation. Taken suddenly sick
at Genoa, Italy, he died on the 18th
of May, 1S47.
Before this period the history of
Ireland for hundreds of years was
written in innocent blood by the
cruel and inhuman Penal Laws of
England.
The Irish people preferred death
before dishonor The Cross of Jesus
Christ conquered the sword.
But, ITO live in hearts we leave
behind is not to die" Poor O'Con-
nell! how he suffered for the faith
of his forefathers and the Irish peo-
pie whose cause he was always fight
ing!
When the awful famine in 1916
swept over Ireland, O'Connell plead
ed piteously with the English gov
ernment to aid his starving people,
but he only received a cold refusal.
During that terrible period of starva-
ton in Ireland about two millions
of the Irish people suffered death.
Badly broken In nealth and short
ly before he died, O'Connell set out
for Rome to visit Pope Plus $4X
then the reigning Pontiff.
He closed his lips in death after
leaving his farewell message to his
friends in these pathetic words:
When l am dead, take out my heart
and send it to Rome; let my body be
brought back to mingle with the
dust of Ireland" What a sad but
beautiful farewell address-his SOU
to God; his heart to Rome; his body
to Ireland.
Thank God! on this 18th day oi

church are rapidly disappearing, and
let us ask God to spare us our life
until some day in the near future
we shall see the old racial and po
litical hatreds of by gone centuries
blotted forever from the map of the
| world.
Meanwhile, let us fervently ask
the Father of all Good to lull passion
into repose, dissipate prejudices, anc
kindle in the breasts of our religion:

labor for the Emancipation of Cath
olics.
In the election that followed sew
,eral members of Parliament pledged
to support the cause were elected,
where, previously, opponents of
Catholicity had always been return
ed.
O'Connell was one of the elected
members, but his political and re-
ligious enemies wore a smile of ap-
parent satisfaction, because they
knew that, although the government
could not prevent the election of
Catholics to Parliament, unless they
took the oath required of all men,
bers of Parliament-the oath which
denied certain doctrines of the Ca
tholic church-Catholics could not
take the seat to which the people had
elected them. O'Connell did not
take his seat, and scorned all offers
of compromise with a silent and cool
determination until his eloquence
and the doctrine of passive resist
ance finally won sufficient public ap-
proval of the justice of his cause and
forced the government to pass the
Act of Catholic Emancipation on the
18th of April, 1929. Just after the
passage of the act O'Connell present
ed himself in Parliament to take the
oath. The old oath denying the doc
trine of his faith was offered him,
but he refused to take it under the
law of emancipation. With his re-
fusal he terrified the Speaker and
members present with this eloquent
statement: I'm the name of millions
of men; in the name of the Irish
race; in the name of the God of
Heaven and the God of earth, I re-
ject that blasphemous falsehood
against my religion!" When the
speaker of the House of Commons re-
covered the shock caused by such a
declaration, he ordered O'Connell to
leave the house, which he at once
did. O'Connell went forth and
pleaded his case at the bar of JUS
, tice until the government ordered
new election, in which the Liberia
tor was unopposed.
His reelection from the County
Clare sent him again to Parliament
to take the oath, but he was not Of
fered the old one. He smilingly
took the new oath which was not
against his faith and became a men,
ber of Parliament on the 4th of
February, 1880. On that glorious
and victorious day, quoting Lacor-
daire, "Seven millions of Irishmen

"THE GOSPEL OF The DAY"
Subject of Father O'Toole's Sunday
Sermons, Delivered April 18th.


Last Sunday in St. Johns church
Father O'Toole spoke at both masses
on the subject of the Gospel of the
day-"Amen, Amen, / say to you,
that you shall lament and weep, but
the world shall rejoice; and you
shall be made sorrowful, but your
sorrow shall be turned into JOY"
Nations are afflicted just as peo-
pie are afflicted, and the disasters
and miseries caused by the elements
of nature or the prosecutions of a
government are no signs in many
cases that God is angry with ma
tion or people, but the distress is
sent for some good and kind pur-
pose, whether we understand it or
not.
Deep in the human heart God has
planted a consoling sentiment which
prompts us to admire great and Writ
uous deeds, and to esteem the men
or women who have performed them.
The world honors her heroes and
statesmen, as America her Washing
ton, France her Napoleon, England
her Wellington, so to-day, the 18th
day of April, Irishmen and the sons
and daughters of Ireland celebrate
IuC OtIh VI SdIhOllC
Emancipation in the Isle of scholars,
doctors and Saints; in the imperish-
able memory of the Father of Cath
olic Emancipation, Daniel O'Connell,
the most eloquent son that ireland
ever produced, English penal laws
prosecuted the Irish. No Catholic
could sit in the House of Commons
unless he took the oath which de-
MED certain doctrines of the Catholic
church
In 1928 English statesmen were
amazed at the fearless O'Connell
who majestically stepped into the po-
litical arena with this declaration:
" Ireland cannot fight England, but
we shall use a weapon which will
surely vanquish our enemies-that
weapon shall be Passive Resist
ance."
Then it was that O'Connell began
a whirlwind campaign all over Ire
land teaching the doctrine of PAS
sive Resistance" He organized the
Catholic Association" the object of
which was the promotion of Catholic
Emancipation by means of meetings
held throughout the country, by pub
lie discussions, and by the return of
members of Parliament pledged to
