The Y. NJ. c. a. has Il perfect right
to limit it's membership to such
churches as it chooses. That is a
privilege that belongs to every organ

having used it to exclude the one
Church from which every one of the
so-called "evangelical' churches have
taken whatever they have that belongs
to Christian teaching. 1t is making an
open and bare-faced misrepresentation
of itself to the world when it says
that it is a n-sectarian organization
A holder and more dishonest repre-

While this restriction remains, no
Catholic or any other person disquali-

asked to pay membership fees in a
mon sectarian' organization in which
he or she. on account of church adj

rights that the other members exer-
else, is not worthy of membership in

At the coming convention the Y. NJ.

THE LIE FACTORY
Hibernians Still "Wadins Knee. Deep
in Oranae Blood"


The abuse of the Ancient Order of
Hibernians by Irish factionists at
forded the Unionists the best ammu-
milton available nFtheir campaign in
Great Britain against Home Rule.
When all other arguments" failed,
the Unlonist tubethumper could fall
back upon factionist abuse OF the A.
o. Fl. The unionist lie factory felt
warranted in going further. 1t issued
q vile concoction. purporting to be
the oath of the A. O. III. and binding
members Of the latter to wade knee
deep in Orange blood" and breathing
hatred Of Professionals as such. This
oath has been circulated in millions
of leaflets and post cards. 1t was
quoted by Unionists in the Crewe bye
election last year, and MI. Joseph
Dcvlin, M. p, the president of the A,
O. H.. rcpudiated and condemned it:
whereupon the Tory candidate accept
ed Mr.. Devlin's reputation and de-
nounced the libel But the Unionist
lie factory Went on circulating the H.
bel. About Il fortnight ago, Colonel
Hickman, a Tory member for Wolver
hampton, repeated the libel at South
port. A local Home Ruler forwarded
the report Of the Colonels speech to
Mr.. Devlin. who at once raised the
question in the House OF Commons.
Mr.. Devlin denied that any such
oath, or any oath whatever, was TAX
en- by the members OF the A, o. Fl,
Colonel Hickman was not satisfied,
He wanted MI Devlin to read the A.
.. FL. declaration of obligation" Mr..
Devlin did so. on the following day.
Everybody except members of the A.
O. H., was surprised. The "obliga-
ton" was quite innocuous, it insisted
upon members doing nothing con-
trarS to law or condemned by the
Catholic Church. The answer was
complete. and the speakers comments
and the cheers of the Home Rulers
showed how fully the vindication OF
the a. Q. II. was accepted. But, even
then, Colonel Hickman was not salts
fled. He had not the courtesy to
withdraw and make the amende hon
orabe. Instead he tried to dish up
old stories about the Rfbbonmen. But
the speaker cut him short. and the
incident terminated Will it be be-
lieved that tho lie is still being cir
culated by ulster Unionists?

SCIENCE AGAINST SCIENCE,

Now that the aeroplane has been
perfected so that it Is being looked
upon as an effective engine of war,
the next problem is to conquer the
conquerors of the air. A recent an
nouncenent from Paris states that
eminent scientists are already busy
ing themselves with the problem. A
device, according to a Paris dispatch,
Is being perfected to create air dis
turbances such as to capsiZe the best
type OF aeroplane even at attitudes
of II mile or more.
This Is surely case OF science
against science. The solution of the
problem of flight only gives rise to
another problem Of equal magnitude.
The builder gives rise 10 the need for
a destroyer. Power is ever pittcd
against power. There is the everlast-
ing tendency to cqualize things.
The thought of an aeroplanc cap
able of sustaining an accurate flight
suggests the thought of great efficacy
in solving the problems of war; But
if the invention alluded to proves
successful, it would appear that even
mastery of the air will give no create,
advantage in war than the inyention
OF the repeating rifle or the cannon.
In the case of the latter weapons, one
side can equip itself as we'll as the
other and the result is equalization
of power. With the advent of the air.
ship the different armies have still the
power or equal efficacy through equal
equipment and, III addition. means OF
equalizing power. Both sides may
not only be equipped with equal aero
plane facilities but they may also DE
equally provided with the means of
destroying one another's aerial force.
After all, What advantage have we,
with all our modern Instruments of
war, over the arrow and the bow
Armies may destroy one another more
rapidly and eat up the national wealth
more quickly, but was there not as
much chance for science in the an
cient savage methods?

A MAGNANIMous PEOPLE.

1t does not take a prophetic vision
to foresec in Ireland a country bound
together by natural ties, governed by
an Irish parliament representative of
all classes and conditions of people
WORKING for the common end of ma
llo'lal progress and prosperity. The
differences OF today that may be tcac-
ell almost wholly to religious unimosi-
ties duo to England's inhuman efforts
TO deprive the country OF the Faith
to which 1t chung heroically in the
darkest days, will gradually disap-
pear.
The Irish are by nature q lnagnani-
nous people. 1t is in their nature to
forgive and forget. No people can
sheathe the sword more gallantly than
they when Il mutual understanding is
finally reached. The spectre of the
days of Henry VIII and Queen Eliza
beth and Cromwell. when to DC a
Catholic was considered equivalent to
being an enemy Of the government.
Still stalks abroad in the northern
province. The cnmities that arose
then were deep rooted and lasting, 1t
is hard to overcome the final traces
Of their effect and to bring about
complete union and harmony Of in
terests. But union and harmony will
result eventually. Religious preju-
dices are disappearing. The modifica-
ton OF the Kings oath of office was
one Of the most potent indications of
that.
1t will be Il blessed day for Ireland
when that condition is finally real
lied. The horrors OF misgovernment
will disappear, dissensions and unrest
will vanish and in their place will
come contentment and prosperity. The
people will settle down to a discuss
sion and solution of their internal af-
fairs instead OF giving all their time
and effort to the solution of the great
problem Of winning the right to gov
!, ern themselves.

THE sUFFRAGETTE ARMY.

The gallant army OF self-sacrifc-
ing suffragettes is storming WASH
ington. Footsore and weary in their
high-heeled pumps and fashionable
frocks, they are plodding on to meet
and conquer the enemy OF votes for
women. Like Washington, they are
crossing the Delaware weakened by
the hardships of the march. And like
the brave army that fought for the
freedom Of the Union, they are now
and then subject to a destructive and
annoying volley of rebel snow balls
A little banquet thrown in occasion
ally helps, of course, to encourage
them, but it is a severe trial never
theless.
Why are they marching to WASH
Tington? Well, II they didn't march
how could they get there on foot +?
Washington didn't go by rail or auto
mobile and why should they SO that
way? That would not be taking the
city at all. II they stayed at home
how would suffrage ever win? Just

and protruding toes and a lot Of pub

windows and making bloody assaults
on innocent and defenseless mail
boxes. They are at once making
names for themselves and furnishing
copy for the newspapers. They are
progressive and original in their

ULSTER STILL walls.

The rejection Of the Welsh discs
tablishment bill by the House of
Lords was regarded of such little DO
litical significance by even the Lib
eral papers Of England that they con-
tanned but a few lines hidden away
in an obscure corner. The upper
chamber has passed the period of its
existence when it was political fac
tor to be reckoned with. It is now
only a chamber to which the House
OF Commons possesses the key.
With the Lords powerless to inter-
vene in their behalf. the orangemen
Of Ulster are changing their threats
into walls. From present indications
it would look az If Ulster will con-
tinue to resist and as a last resort, try
to be excluded from the Home Rule
parliament. But the signs of the sue
cess of such q policy, though looking
improbable from the beginning of the
present struggle. now look doubly so.
To the Irish party is due the credit
for the present advantageous posi-
ton. Its members though few in
numbers when compared with the ag-
gregate membership Of the house
have proved themselves masters OF a
generalship. that would do credit ia
the best statesmen Of any country in
any crisis. They have fought it out
on rational lines though it has taken,
not only coll summer but many
years.
Combined with the advantages OF
their able generalship are the equally
great advantages Of having the real
conditions in Ireland placed plainly
