Asquith Defends. Bill
The Cardinals Convert.

When the late Cardinal Cullen Of
Dublin, Ireland lived, there was a
sick call for priest from the Pro-
Cathedral. The sick person was at
the --- hotel, the proprietor of
Which was IL Protestant.
A stormy, wet. dark night it proved.
AS soon as the messenger got there q
priest started. Through mud and
slush he made his way. and at last
arrived at the hotel. saw the sick
person and gave him sacraments. Ev-
ervthing went OF as usual thus far
but now the curious part began. The
proprietor OF the hotel. q good ma
tured. earnest man, thinking to do a
little proselytlzing, invited the priest
to come into his own sitting room.
After administering some welcome
refreshments, this Protestant evange-
list let himself out.

THE CASE OF JUDGE ARCHIBALD.

The conviction of Judge Robert w
Archibald OF the commerce court Nv
the senate OF the United States on
INC charge of misuse of his high Office
i"s a twofold significance: IT shows
that throwing all the :afcsuards Dos
s'hie around man does not make
Ann immune to graft and it is an in
ClCatlon that the moral consciousness
CT the nation is awakening and that
misuse CT power even i, high places
IS becoming Il dangerous thing.
Judge Archibald held high, honor
able and influential position. The SAL
AIRY OIL the office assured him certain
means of support for the balance OF
his life and the office itself placed him
in u position where he could be an
Influential factor in the nations well
fare. He in a position where IL
position is ever II sufficient protection
against temptation, he had nothing to
Lear and no reason to fall.
But Judge Archibald was fonnf,
guilty. not on ono, but Oh several
charges of misuse of the power of his

emy taught him no lesson. nor his
second Tor his third. Tie went the
unit, and now he must suffei. tile
maximum penalty. which is loss Of
Ills honor as a judge and Gepr!val OF
the right to hold federal Office mn
der the United States government.
The conviction OF this man whose
circumstances in life make lis guilt
doubly great. would be a d:snppoinr-
inent to the men Who framed the con-
.afitution, for they made a srec,al AL

which at once made the office inao.

HOME RULE MEASURE
Debate Begun on Its Final Passage il
House Of Commons.

LONDON, Jan. 16.-The Home Rule
Dill started on it's final stage in the
F:ouse OF Commons yesterday and the
occasion was marked by two speeches
seldom eXcelled In the House, by the
prime minister. Herbert A. Asuuiti,.
end Mr.. Balfour, the former leader of
the opposition. who have few equals
as parliamentarians.
Other speakers, representing all par-
ties, followed, and the debate was fin
ally adjourned until today, when di-
VISION will be taken.
The bitterness which previous bills
OF Il similar nature aroused in the
past was largely absent in the dis
cussion yesterday, but with the harder
hitters ON the program for today this
may not be continued
When the orders Of the day were
called, and Mr.. Balfour, 1T the re-
quest OF the opposition lcade: Andrew
5onar Law, moved the rejection OF
the measure. the House wa: crowded
to its capacity and every seat in the
galleries was occupied by visitors.
Delivering Telling Speeches.
Mr.. Balfour, who has been absent
from parliament for some weeks.
while not SO fluent as the prime min
lister, delivered one OF The telling
speeches for which he is famous ana
which rouscs his supporters to great
enthusiasm. He dealt with the bill
i'll IL general way and particularly
laid stress ON the case of Ulster. the
present condition OF which he likened
tr that of the American colonies be-
fore the revolution. He charged the
government with showing :, DANGER
Gus want Of appreciation o. the posi-
ton of that section.
Pointing his finger at the govern
hent bench, Mr.. Balfour concluded:
1T blood be spilled-which God for
.bid-the real assassins will be those
who have never had the courage TO
lace the situation"
Asquith Defends, Bill.
Premier Asquith defended the bill
from every standpoint. He pleaded
with the House to forget the past and
give Ireland what the VAST majority
demanded. He laid stress on the safe
guards introduced in the bill to pre-
vent Professionals from being oppressed
by the majority, and repeated the
governments offer to insert any other
reasonable safeguards. if only the OPP
position would tell what was wanted.

SCIENTIFIC LAwMAKlNe.

This is the season when legisla-
lures are busy making and unmaki1e
laws and legislators are as busy try
jnG to make regulations. Between
now and the time the sessions end
reXt spring, thousands of bills will be
proposed and rejected and hundreds
&C others will be passed. Some of
the new laws will be for the benefit
OF all the people and others will bcnc-
fit the few. But. whatever is done
will give rise to new issue, and ef-
tcct. in some degree, the future OF
the nation.
The one thing that is likely to OPP
crate against tho passage of laws
beneficial to the whole people is the
tendency on the part of the law
faakers to be provincial That is, the
men from one section OF IL state will
work diligently for the interests OF
the people of their part of the state
and at the same time disregard the
rights of the people Ct another part
OF the state for whom another set of
legislators are working.
The result of a state of affairs of
this kind is often a compromise in
tho way of bartcring power, rather
than an honest study Of the merits of
the demands under consideration. A
set OF legislators interested in one
project may be able to carry their
point by exchanging totes With an
other set of legislators who have en-
tirely different interests to look after.
but the result will not be well rea-
soncd and sound legislation.
What is needed is unity. Every
Ian i'll q legislature ought to stand
for the interests of the state at large
as much as for the particular inter-
ests Of the people of the section from
which he comes. There ought to he
Il bureau established at every capitol

Questions that come up foi discus

prejudice in lawmal1ing would then be
m!nimized. The men who have it in
their power to pass or reject bills
would then have an opportunity to
get their information from an UNI
biased source and WOlll no ul,clitjcl
to act intelligently.
The legislature OF Wisconsin was
the first in the country to make a
start in this direction. Other states
are falling i'll line. but not with the
rapidity that the merits of the inno-
walton warrants. 1t will become more
general some day, no doubt. but it

Fought in Egypt.
These martial experiences came to
the Bishop in the early eighties and
nineties, or when England was fight
ing her foes in Egypt and the Sou
dan. Born in 1887. he was ordained
at the English College at Lisbon in
1862, and after mission work in Ply
mouth, became Il chaplain in the army
in 1874. In 1882 he was drafted to
Egypt, being the first chaplain to ar
throughout the whole of the Egyptian
campaign. He was present at the bat
ties outside Suakin: in 1854, and took
part in the Nile expedition, captaining
one of the boats OF the Royal Irish
regiment, which won the prize given
by Lord Wolseley to the first boat to
complete the river journey.

n1anded Gunboat in Egypt has been
ordained fifty years.
At the end OF the campaign, Fathe,
Elindle, as he then was, was ordered
tc Aldershot, the military healquar-
ters near London, and spent ten years
there. but he was back i'll Egypt again
in 1886. 1t was in the Eongola eXpe-
ditlon of that year that he took a gum
BOAT into action, being the only priest
who ever has commanded such a ship
i'll the British service. He served un-
Ger Lord Kitchener il the khartoum
expedition in 1898 and got tho D. S. O..
FOR his conduct in the field at Atbara
and Khartoum. No other chaplain
ever had gained it.
Became Bishop.
He left the army in 1899, and became
Cardinal NauShans assistant Bishop
at Westminster. Three years later he
was translated to the see of Nothing
ham. where he has remained since, 1t
was he who received the present
Queen OF Spain into the Catholic
Church previous to her marriage, and
for this lie was decorated with the

The medals and decorations which the
Bishop is entitled to wear for service
in the field include beside the ID. S,

LEO XIII ON LABOR.

Pope Leo NH as Il writer on labor
problems holds the position of Shake
spearc in the field OF the drama. His
great encyclical on that -engrossinr
problem is as far beyond the weak
attempts Of modern writer's on polit-
zeal economy as the plays, OF the grea
English dranatist are beyond the
Plays of the present day. .
Pope Leo understood the signin-
canoe OF the labor problem He knew
it's meaning and it's cause and saw
the futility of the solutions that are
being propounded. With the analytic
mind OF an Aristotle combined with
the breadth OF view aad thu foresight
that few men have ever possessed, he
saw the difficulties that wore certain
to arise He went further beneath
the surface than any writer that pre-
ceded or followed him to the present
day. The problem has as deep ~ root
as life itself. Pope Leo n.ade this
Plain. Socialism with it's advocacy of
state ownership of all public utili-
ties. Leo XIII foresaw woult. be dctri-
mental to the welfare of the family
the unit which forms tho very founda-
ton of the state.
THE idea," he wrote. "thst the civil
government should, at it's own dis
erection, penetrate and pervade tic
family and the household, is Il great
and pcrnicious mistake. True. ir a
family finds itself in great difficulty
utterly friendless and without pros
pect OF help, it is right thai extreme
necessity be met by publ. aid; for
each family Is a part Of the common
wealth. In like manner, IL within the
