KNOCKING.

The Indiana Catholic has again
brought forth its hammer and
knocks the home rule bill and the
leaders of the Nationalits party in
Ireland. Despite its assertion, Irish
exchanges show that the great bulk
of the people of Ireland are loyal to
John Redmond and his followers in
Parliament and are fully satisfied
with the success thus far achieved
and which it is hoped will secure
them their own Parliament early
next year. The editor of our Indiana
contemporary is a genial and good
natured man, who should not let his
Indifferent feeling for two or three
individuals ooze through his columns
and initiate against the Irish cause
and people.

ELECTION OF SENATOR'S.

With Connecticut's ratification on
Tuesday of the amendment to that
OBJECT, the direct election by the
people of United States Senators
became one Of the provisions of the
constitution. Thirty-six States, the
requisite three-fourths of all in the
Union, now have approved the
change. 1t remains only for the
Governors of all States which have
acted favorably to formally notify
Secretary Bryan and for him to
issue a proclamation announcing
the change. The amendment to the
constitution is the second within the
last few months and the seventeenth
to be adopted. II reads:
''The Senate of the United States
shall be composed of two Senators
from each State, elected by the
people thereof, for six years; and
each Senator shall have one vote.
The electors in each State shall
have the qualifications requisite for
electors of the most numerous
branch OF the State Legislature.
When vacancies happen in the
representation OF any State in the
Senate the executive authority OF
such State shall issue writs OF cleo
ton to fill such vacancies, provided
that the Legislature OF any State
may empower the Executive thereof
to make temporary appointments
until the people fill the vacancies by
election as the Legislature may
direct"
What effect this change will have
on the situation in Kentucky can
not be definitely determined until
after the proclamation Of the secre-
tary OF State has been issued.

MEANING OF RETREAT.

Though they are increasing In
number. many people have not the
slightest idea of what Catholic
retreat really is. "a retreat is
saws a recent writer who has thor
ough knowledge Of the subject, "a
ouiet. deliberate taking hold OF
oneself. a momentary halt in the
rush of events, an examination oil
the course ahead and behind to find
out whether or not we are really on
the right track. Have you ever
watched an engineer about to start
out on a long, fast run with load
of human freight behind him in the
cars? He goes all over his engine.
Every bar and rod and wheel and
valve is carefully examined. And
why all this care? Why? Because
upon that care depends the safety
of the passengers. A cracked wheel,
a loose bolt or broken valve may
spell ruin. II is the same with life.
A little disorder now may ruin later
on. Life is a serious business,
whether we know 1t or not. We are
here now; a few years ago we were
not; a short time and we shall have
passed away. whittier? It will be
Just to that point toward which we
are now directing our course. What
man is, whence he came and whittier
he is tending are tremendously i'm
portant questions which demand a
straight, fair and square answer
ignoring them will not prevent the
consequence of being on the wrong
course; for like them or not, facts
are facts, and shutting our eyes to
them, strange to say, will not destroy
them. The ostrich buries his head
in the sand and fancies himself safe;
the fox gets himself out of the way.
Why not get right down to business
face the truth manfully, examine life
honestly and see what we are making
Of It? That is just what retreat
is. And nowadays they are open to
all who desire to make them"

BARS UP BY BANK.

Anger and establishment reigns In
Irish home rule circles since II be-
came known that the Bank OF Ire
land, which since 1905 has occupied
the premises OF the historic Irish
Parliament house in Dublin, will not
give up the premises for the new
Irish Parliament unless evicted.
Ever since home rule became a liv-
ing question its adherents have
spoken In whispers of the time when
the Irish Parliament would meet In
the famous old assembly house In
Dublin, with its famous paintings
and pictures Of the old Irish Parlia-
ment as II assembled before the
union. The Bank OF Ireland Is said
tc hold an Understandable lease from
the English Government. The Irish
Parliament is TO meet next year. To
think OF holding the first Parliament
anywhere except In the ancient
building seems sacrilege TO home
rulers. The outcome Is a matter OF
excited speculation.

SHOULD FEEL ELATED.

Col. P. H. Callahan, President Of
the Louisville Varnish Company, has
reason to feel elated over the fact
that all the recommendation pre-
sented by him to the Ways and
Means Committee of Congress last
January, when he represented the
National Varnish Manufacturers AS
ISOLATION, were included in schedule
A of the tariff bill introduced IN
Congress last Tuesday. Col. Gala
han insisted that II American manu-
facturers could get raw material as
cheaply as other nations they could
compete with any other country, and
therefore successfully urged that
protectionism be thrown to the
winds. And this also means that
there will be no trust or advance in
the prices for paints and varnishes.

WELL DONE.

Judged from the expressions heard
upon all sides, President Wilson
made no mistake when he delivered
his message to Congress in person.
And with that message none have
had the temerity to find fault.
While brief It was the document OF
a statesman, indicating what the
masses of the people of this country
desire and should have. The re-
vision of the tariff along the lines
suggested by the President may
temporarily discommode some inter-
ests that are utterly selfish and
foreign to the American spirit, but
the final result will prove beneficial
to the consumer and the worker.
