A press dispatch from London last
"Wednesday stated that between 5000
and 1000 rifles packed in boxes ready
for shipment, were taken in Il police
raid. The raid followed the seizure of
consignment of rifles and bayonets
on steamer at Dublin a week before.
They were addressed to Baron Farm
ham, an Irish peer, at his country seat
in County Cavan. Can it be that the
Ulster Orangemen are preparing for
that "bloody" war of which so much
has been heard: Or is this only Il
ruse to revive the worn and thread
bare threats of war? If the Baron
means it seriously, he must be pa
triotic little gent, Haunting his title
and threatening the government by
which he was given the title at the
same time. But the Orangemen
should lose no time in making prep
arations. They need all the exercise
in arms that they will be able to get
before Home Rule is adopted and they
are forced to take their final stand.
They need the weapons, too, and fin
ally, they need as much common
sense as they can smuggle into Ul-
ster with their ammunition.

Justice Hughes by whom the decision
was written, extends to every part of
interstate commerce and to every in
strumentality or agency by which it
is carried on; and the full control by
Congress over the subjects committed
to it's regulation is not to be denied
or thwartcd by the commingling of in
tcrstate or intrastate operations"
In these words the Supreme Court
points out that the burden of proper
regulation rests with Congress. Each
state has certain rights within it's own
limits and over the whole vast fabric
the federal government is superimpos-
railroads can claim to be their own
sovereigns. The old theory that at GER
tain border points in a state neither
the state nor the federal government
had clear authority TO act goes by the
board with the Minnesota rate case de-
cision.
The decision makes it clear that rail-
roads hereafter must recognize the
right of state legislatures to enact
laws binding on them: that the two
cent fare has come to stay; that the
inevitable solution of the whole ques-
federal government.

HOME RULE MOVES FORWARD.

The Irish Home Rule bill success
fully passed another stage on it's way
to final realiza ton when last Tuesday
night it was adopted by the House of
Commons on second reading without
division. Mr.. Balfour moved for the
rejection of the measure as it was in
cumbent on the tories to do. The mo-
ton was lost by vote of 1853 to 27O.
The majority was therefore ninety
eight, which is practically the same
as the majority on the other readings
OF the bill A demonstration OF cheer
ing on the part of the Irish National
lists and the Liberals naturally greet
ed the announcement of the vote.
The victory was clean cut and de-
has been no change in sentiment since
the bill was first introduced in Par
lament. The Liberals and the Irish
Nationalist have taken their stand
together. for it with the conviction
that it should be made the law of the
land. They have brought it to it's
present stage in its progress to adop-
ton and, barring an unforeseen in
Iervention of circumstances, it will go
into effect year hence.
Another reading and the bill will go
"a second time to the House of Lords
where it will be again rejected beyond
~ doubt. That is to be expected and
the announcement Of the vote in the
upper house will be no more Of a sur
prise than the vote in the Commons.
But the Veto bill was adopted two
years ago for the express purpose Of
cZlrtailing the power of the upper
oh amber and the fact of it's rejection
will bring no dismay TO the hearts Of
the supporters of the measure.
The fight is progressing with salts
flying rapidity. Never was there a
time when it behooved the Irish peo-
Die to stand together behind the Ma
tionalists. Whatever differences Of
opinion there may be on the merits of
tine Home Rule bill, this much is GER
tain that the measure will in part at
least, retrieve the rights lost to Ire
Lard by the Act OF Union. 1t is not a
compromise Nospromise is made that
the Irish will not ask for fuller power
over their own affairs. Whatever is
gained is clear gain. On this prin-
cfa1le the party should have the moral
and active support of the whole peo-
Pile.

CATHOLICS AND THE CABINET.

The fact that there is not Catholic
in President Wilson's cabinet has been
the subject of a good deal of comment,
especially in the Catholic press, since
the personnel OF that body was an
nounced about four months ago. The
Catholics in this country number APP
proNimately 100000. They outnum-
Der the members of the strongest
Protestant churches by two to one.
In view of this strength of numbers as
well as the complimentary things that
Mr.. Wilson said about the church in
his campaign speeches, and the
fact that there We're Catholics eligible
for the positions, it was somewhat of a
surprise to learn that he failed to
name a Catholic among the body of
men with which he surrounded HIM
self.
Notwithstanding that, We do not be-
lieve there is any good reason why
Catholics should worry or take occa-
sion to be too harsh in criticising. A
Catholic in the cabinet would, undoubt-
edly, have given d better balance to it
in that it would be recognition of
that great body of men and women in
this country who claim adherence to
the Church.
But there is another consideration
that we may not overlook There is
no union of church and state in this
country and the less religion and pol
itics are allowed to mix, the less fric-
ton there is likely to be and the pleas
-anter it will be for all concerned. In
our national politics there should be
no religious lines. AS the citizens Of
a great commonwealth we have inter-
ests in common apart from our reli-
gious affiliations. These common inter-
ests should guide us in our choice of
candidates for public office.
We can best show a broad interest
in the welfare of our country and a
patriotism that is not tinctured by re-
ligious bias by not feeling hurt in mat
tiers of this kind. So long as our rights
as members of the Catholic church are
not Disseminated against we may rest
content with the present choice.
Should such discrimination be made
then we would have valid grounds 70

CHIEF RANGER SUGGESTS STATE

Winona, Mimi, June 1O.-Reports of
P. Fl. Martin Of Duluth, chief ranger,
and George w. Stenger of ST. Paul,
secretary, today at the opening bust
ness session of the state court Of
Catholic Order of Foresters, discussed
the decrease in membership due, it
was declared, to the new law cover
ing fraternal insurance organizations
The reports showed that during the
last two years. since the last conven-
ton. there was loss of one local court
and $40 members.
The chief ranger urged united eff
forts to prevent suspensions and the
continuance of the office of state or
ganizer as remedy. The officers de-
clared higher rates are necessary to
perpetuate the order.
The day was crowded with the
scheduled events. Mass at the Pro-
cathedral in the morning was attend
ed by the 300 delegates. Bishop Hef-
from celebrated mass and Rev. Father

THE MINNESOTA RATE CASE.

y decision which will mark an epoch
in railroad legislation was handed
down this week by the Supreme Court
in the Minnesota rate case. In that
decision, which is unanimously agreed
to by the nine members of the Court,
the two-cent fare will again be re-
st ored in Minnesota. But that phase is
orly q mere incident in the extended
sweep of this remarkable document.
Though the decision is variously criti-
cizesl as being vague and lacking in ex-
pliritness in prescribing a basis for
the valuation of railroad property,
thsa,e is unanimity in the feeling that
it marks far step toward the con-
troll of railroads by the federal gov
err,lrlent.
I'lle point raised in the case which is
and has been Of greatest concern to
Mi pnesota was whether Or not the
rates prescribed by the state were con-
tisc utory, and consequently it will he
restored. That is the important and
welcome feature Of the decision for the
people living in the state. 1t means
the reduction OF railroad fares by one
third and that those who could i'll af-
ford to pay the former rate will be
benefited to that extent.
Tlae second and broader question
raised was who should have control
over rates. On this point the decision
of the court is not as explicit. 1.-The
COMPLETELY internal commerce Of the
stateJ' the decision says, may be con-
siderel as reserved for the state itself"
To this it adds: "This reservation to
the state manifestly is only of that au-
thoritv which is; consistent with and
not opposed to the grant to Congress.
There is no room in our scheme of
cover ment for the assertion of state
power in hostility to the authorized
exercise of federal power
Here it is very clearly pointed out
that the federal government is to be

rate matters. To the state, the deci-
sion comedies the right to enact in
specticn laws. quarantine laws and
health laws as it sees fit in the regu-
lation of its internal commerce. No
direct general power over these OBJ
jects. the decision says, is granted to
Congress and as consequence they
remain subject to state legislation.
Whatever the individual states do.
therefore, in regulating rates must be
accepted as binding until Congress by
virtue Of it's power is entitled to act
to secure the complete government OF
Interstate commerce.

Haste stiles the genius responsible
for the best books of the ages that
are past. The novels that best repro
duced the conditions in society at the
time when they were written were the
work of those men and women who
had time to reflect and to see them
selves as we now see them. Until a
time comes when conditions will be
more settled in this country and peo-

3 President Wilson is accused of be-
ing dictator in the matter of form
ing the tariff bill. There are people
who maintain that a clergyman should
have nothing to say on the political
issues before the country because he
would have undue influence with the
people of his church. Have things
reached that pass where. if man
speaks. he is a dictator and if he keeps
still he is unpatriotic and has not the
interests of his country at heart?

BRITISH ARBITRATION TREATY

SeHtlHenl mas arisen In the Sem
ate against the extension of the pres
ent arbitration treaty with England.
The reason for this opposition is OBJ
vious. 1t is due to the attitude Eng
land has taken in the matter OF Canal
tolls. England called into question the
right of the United States to allow
American vessels to go through the
canal free of tolls. Tho contention
was made on the grounds of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty, and English papers
have gone so far as to say that il the
question We're arbitrated the claim
that England makes would be upheld
There are a number OF enthusiasts
in the Senate who have maintained
that the United States ought to har-
ken to the request of British states
men and charge equal tolls for Amer
lean and foreign vessels. The alb
surdity of the contention is obvious
The United States has spent millions
of dollars in building the canal and
now they would give foreign nation
as much right to say how it should
be used, though the canal has cost the
foreign nation not one cent 1t is a
wonder England did not think OF hav-
ing the United States make the canal
years ago.
The opposition in the Senate to the
extending of the present treaty is
based on good grounds. If this coun-
try is to make treaties with foreign
nations by which foreign nations are
to dictate to us how we shall manage
our internal affairs, it were much bet
ter that none was made, for such
treaties. instead Of being a means of
preventing troubles, will only bring
them upon us. The American people
will not tolerate the dictation OF any
foreign nation.
The Irish in America have always
and will always continue to oppose too
close utilization of this country with
the British Empire. They are not OPP
posed to peace or the use of every
legitimate means of maintaining it.
But they do oppose alliances by which
this nation would surrender any of its
rights to manage it's own affairs. The
trouble over the canal tolls question
which has arisen out Of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty is case in point
that justifies the opposition of the
/, Irish to entangling alliances. The
/ Hay Pauncefote treaty looked limo
cent enough for many years. Later
developments have shown that it con-
tanned a germ of contention that is
extremely dangerous. England is at
tempting to move too rapidly in this
matter of peace treaties Our repre-
sentatives in Congress should see that
it moves little slower. We want to
maintain peace and for that reason we
do not want to hasten into belligerent
treaties.
