IRELAND AMID GREECE.

Not unfrequently one hears the re-
mark about Gaelic, how like Greek
the letters look. There is some SINH
larity in the shape of the letters of the
Gaelic and the Greek alphabet, and
for good reason, according to his
torians. The accepted belief is that
Ireland was colonized in the very early
centuries by an invasion from the far
East Later, it is thought, the coun-
try felt the effects of an adventurous
visitation from the shores of Greece.
The general impression is that the
Phenicians came first and after them
the Greeks came to leave their i'm
press on the future Irish character.
In the early literature of Ireland
there is to be found much that illus
trates the Homeric character. Legend
airy fancies and mythical creations
have always interested the Gael. My
thical heroes, legends and poems
abound in early Irish literature. The
sentiment Of nationality pervades the
literature of Ireland from the earliest
times down to the present day. And
as it was with the Greeks, SO it has
been with the Irish, there has ever
been bright and refreshing strain of
humor running through their litera-
ture. Like the wonderful heroes Of the
myths and legends, the Irish have
fought of all attempts at stamping
out the use of the Gaelic language.
They have preserved their identity
despite the flow and fux of the cen.
turtles. ....

ECHO OF MEMORIAL DAY.

The barbarity Of war and its incon-
sistency with the advance of civiliza-
ton was the note most frequently
heard in the addresses on Memorial
Day. The doctrine of world peace is
having its effects. Without attempt
ing to stifie patriotism. leading states
men are beginning to feel that inter.
national disputes should be settled by
reason rather than by force of arms.
The reports Of the financial condition
of the belligerent Balkan states helps
to impress this doctrine. 1t is now
stated that when the war was at its
height the cost to the countries con-
cerned aggregated no less than $5,OO0.-
600 day. AS a result the financial
condition of the victors as well as the
conquered is becoming perilous.
Modern facilities for prosecuting war
are such that the expense Of waging
war between two powers of the first
class would be greater today than ever
before in the history of the world. 1t
would take but short period of time
for the richest nation on earth to be-
come bankrupt. The spirit Of the suf-
fering poor would revolt. 1t is a ques-
ton IL any country could long carry

winter time. it is true, his working
day is shorter. But even in the heart
of winter he does as much as the aver
age eight-hour day man.
Suppose the farmer were to cut down
the number of hours of toll and hire
extra help to do the extra work, what
would be the effect on the cost of liv-
ing? Considering the tremendous num-
Der of toilers there are on the farm
in the United States who put in the
long day. the conclusion is inevitable
that the cost of living would go up.
Working eight hours day does not
decrease ones living expenses, but it
does decrease ones income and it does
decrease a mans output of whatever
naming constant and the supply de-
he is making. With the demand re-

DEDICATION
Of New Knights Of Columbus Homo
Took Place Last Tuesday.

The formal dedication of the new
knights of Columbus hall, Smith ave-
nue. and West Fifth street, was held
Tuesday evening in the assembly room
of the building, which was completed
a month ago at a cost of over $15O,O00.
The ceremonies were conducted by
Archbishop Ireland, assisted by Bishop
Lawler and other clergy of the do
cese. Supreme Knights James A. Fla
herty of Philadelphia was q guest of
honor, and delivered an address, and
there were speeches by local knights
On Wednesday from 2:So until
p. m. the building was thrown open
to the public. Supreme knight Fla
herty visited the building and was
surprised to find it so elaborate. He
said while there might be larger build
ings in other cities, he had found none
more complete or beautiful
The auditorium is one of the largest
in the country. The stage is lafge and
the decorations are simple and eHsc-
tive.
The roof garden is one of the finest
features of the new building
Nearly all the rooms have been TAX
en- by members. The gymnasium and
swimming pool are not completed.

Something must be done to mitiga,

Something must be done to mitigate
the speed mania. Every hour in the
day in every city in the country
where there are automobiles in use
the laws are being broken and disre-
garded and human life is being sacri-
feed to the God of Speed. The
wealthy and influential ones are usu-
ally the offenders. The tendency has
been to let them off easily in the
courts. The time has come when Il
man is not safe walking the streets.
Though he may exercise the greatest
care, he is still in danger Of the care
lessness of others. The remedy lies
in not only Furnishing those who kill
and MAIN innocent people, but in pun
fishing every one who is found break
ing the laws regardless of whether he
does positive injury to any one. The
man who drives an automobile along
thoroughfare at break neck speed
where people are passing and repass-
ing endangers the lives of the peo-
pie on the street. He is guilty Of
criminal negligence and should be
punished for disregarding the rights
OF others. The cost OF enforcing the
law strictly would be high, no doubt,
but what amount of money is ex-
changeable for human life?

LIVING COST AND HOURS OF
WORK.

Suppose the farmer were to fix the
number Of hours to constitute a days
work on the farm at eight or nine, or
even ten. What effect would it have
on the cost of living?
The people who have speculatei on
the reasons for the present high cost
of living have, for the most part, been
content to attribute it to the high tar
lift or to high living. Not many have
taken into consideration what the con-
nection between the cost of living and
the number of hours the average man
works per day. The working day for
city employees in most places is eight
hours. Anything over ten hours for
employees in any Of the lines of work
may fairly be considered exceptional
But take the case of the farmer. In
the busy season he rises at five o'clock
in the morning, often earlier. He goes
to work at once feeding his horses and
hogs and milking his cows. He works
all day in the fields and at night he
has to go through the same process
Of doing chores. II he has everything
done at eight In the evening he is
doing as well as the average farmer.
There is fifteen hours from the time
he began in the morning until he
has finished his day. Taking out three
hours for his meals, which is more
time than he takes. he has a record of
thirteen solid hours of toll. That is
one and five-eighths as many hours
as the city employee works and one
and three-tenths as many hours as the
average factory laborer works. In the

Cardinal O'Connell was so favoraoly

Pope that he remarked after the
audience:
"The Pope seemed like new mar,
who, after sleep, had awakened
fresher, stronger, revitalized."
The reception Of Cardinal O'Connell
by the Holy Father was beautifully
informal. The chamberlain conducted
him to the library where the Pope
was seated at writing table. Taking
off his scull cap, the cardinal was
about to kneel when the Holy Father
stretched out his hand and prevented
him with the words: "O'Connell, come.

DIES SUDDENLY
Thomas Davis Is Victim of Old Age
Installed First Heating Plant
in Minnesota.

Thomas Davis, pioneer resident of
st. Paul, who installed the first heat
ing plant in Minnesota, died at his
home, 666 Laurel avenue, at 9 o'clock
Wednesday night. He apparently had
been in good health until week ago,
When he suddenly weakened. He was
60 years old. ..
Mr. Davis was born in Ireland. He
was a Civil war veteran, serving on
the river fotilla, and was in the Fen
ian raids in Canada.
He came back to st. Paul in 1869.
For forty three years he handled some
of the largest heating contracts in the
state.
He is survived by his widow and ten
children, four daughters and six sons.
They are Mrs. G. w. Griffin, Mrs. w.
P. Fitzgibbon, Miss Alice and Miss
Margaret Davis, Thomas Davis, oper-
ator at the fire alarm signal station;
Edward T., Samuel, George F., Robert
b., and John j. Davis.
The funeral was held from st.
Lukes church.

REMAINING FIRST AVENUE.

A movement has been started in
Minneapolis to rename First avenue
The promoters of the change have sug-
gested Marquette as distinctive
name FOR the thoroughfare. A hum
dred other names have been suggest
ed, most of them names of persons
connected with the early history of
Minnesota and the Northwest.
Although history does not record
that Father Jacques Marquette was
ever in Minneapolis, We know of no
name that would be more appropriate
than his for one of the thoroughfares
of the metropolis of the Northwest
Though his travels never brought
Marquette to Minneapolis it is to the
part he took as an explorer of the
Mississippi river that his name is
known in the history of the United
States.
Father Marquette was born at Laon,
France, in 1887. He entered the So
ciety of Jesus in early life and in 1866
sailed for Canada where he spent a
year and a half in the vicinity of
Three Rivers. He founded the Mis-
sion of Sault Sainte Marie in 1868 and
three years later followed the Hurons
to Mackinaw. In 1878 he, with Joliet
and other companions, made a trip
down the Mississippi river. The party
divided, some going up the river and
some following it southwark. Mar
quette went with that part of the ex-
petition that went southwark. He
died on the banks of what is now the
Marquette river, May IS, 1915.
Marquette was one of the most
prominent, if not the most prominent
of the missionaries connected with the
early history of the Northwest. He
was one of the first men to make an
effort to learn about the course of the
great river on the banks of which
Minneapolis now stands. His name
would sbe an appropriate name for one
of the leading streets of this city.

Lost Pin Mystery.

One Of the mysteries Of the world is
certainly the pin. In astounding guam
titles they pour from numerous fac
tories, principally in Birmingham. One
mill alone is credited with turning out
nearly 100000 pins a day, and no
one has ever attempted the calcula-
ton of the worlds output. A pin is
a thing which, in the ordinary way,
would last for years, and it is a prob
lem to account for the necessity for
making such enormous quantities.
The explanation is undoubtedly that
pins are SO cheap that every one
throws away or loses them as fast as
they use them. Thousands and thou
sands Of them enter the sewers of our
towns, and solid masses are often
found where innumerable examples of
these tiny articles have become welded
together in their passage through the
sewers.
The output of a pin factory includes
uOAeIlS OIL OlLcfGNl Sizes, lrOIH the Tiny
pins used by naturalists, only d quar-
ter of an inch long, and as fine as a
hair, to giant blanket pins four inches
in length, and nearly as thick as a
wire nail.
Hairpins are another example of
useful articles made to be lost; they
follow the fate of the common pin, and
descend in a continual shower on the
paths and floors of every civilized
country. One observant visitor calcu-
lated from careful examination that
on an ordinary day there were over
5000 hairpins lying on Llandudno
parade. All pins are made by auto
matte machines, which complete 1.-THE
transformation from wire in single
operation.

THE GHOSTS OF B|G0TRY
Six Lectures by
Rev. P. c. Yorke, 0. D.

"The Ghosts of Bigotry' is the title
of volume of lectures from the pen
of Rev. P. G. Yorke and recently pub.
llshed by "The Text Book Publishing
Co.." of San Francisco. 1t is the Sec
ond edition published within year;
and, therefore, bears witness to the
growing popularity of the work.
In the preface to the second edi-
ton Father Yorke throws some light
upon the contents: "The following
lectures are an attempt to give in pop.
ular form the main features of the
treatment meted out to the Catholic
church in England and America by
English Professionalism. They were
written after a four Years campaign
against the A. P. A. in California had

the Most High. The pious Protestant
stops his ears and is ready to fly
from the accursed spot. But when
the night is over, and the sun rises,
all these ghosts HE them away. II
the terrors of his midnight experience
will permit the Protestant, he may
now examine the house from garnet
to cellar; the ghosts of his diseased
and distorted Imagination have all
fed-there is nothing to be found"
AS an example of the historic value
of the volume one may instance the
"Gunpowder Plot'-how cleverly the
House of Cecil (now known as the
House Of Salisbury manipulated the
details of this infamous piece Of
work so as to implicate the English
Catholics and thus pave the way for
another persecution. The motive and
methods of the Prime Minister of
James are all laid bare. 1t is now a
clearly established fact of history that
the "Gunpowder Plot" had it's origin
in the brain of the British prime min
lister who wished to retain his politi-
cal position under James, and. who
was in imminent danger of being GUST
ed by a northern rival. The Cum
powder Plot" accomplished double
purpose: it kept James an unwaver-
ing Protestant. and it kept the House
of Cecil in power. What matter If a
few thousand Catholics lost their
property and their lives in the perse-
cution that followed! What matter
if another historic lie be added to
the list that blacken the fair name of
Catholicism in England! What in
deed!
We may close this review of most
valuable book with the words of it's
learned author: there is no senti-
ment which so destroys human rea-
son, eliminates common sense and up
roots natural affection as religious big
otry. Only one weapon seems to have
permanent effect. 1t is education, en-:
lightenment.'
And, we add, for this purpose-the
better enlightenment of the public
has Father Yorke published his
'Ghosts of Bigotry." j. ]. R.
