HOME RULE SURE.

The new session of the British
Parliament, two weeks old, prom
ises to be short, though for Ireland
a very important one. The royal
speech contained an intimation that
the home rule bill will be reintro-
duced and also measure to
facilitate the progress and secure the
completion of land purchase in Ire
land. With regard to the home rule
bill. it is interesting to note that the
leader of the Unionist party admitted
that it was more than probable"
the Government would keep their
majority together in order to carry
their bill a second time in the House
of Commons. This is, as everybody
knows, decidedly more than prob
able" The average Government
majority in the House of Commons
in favor of the home rule bill during
the protracted debates of last session
was 116. The position today is
unaltered. The majority stands as
it did then and the fate of the home
rule bill is in no position of uncer-
tainty. The only question that re-
mains to be answered is whether the
House of Lords will respect the will
of the people or whether it will ex-
pose it's own impotence by rejecting
the bill a second time, thus exhaust
ing such power as remains to it.
Under the Parliament act, should
-the lords reject the bill this session
they will have nothing more to say
to it. In the next session of Parlia-
ment ii will receive the royal assent
Immediately on being passed a third
time by the House of Commons. And
then Ireland will have freedom and
its own Parliament meeting in
Dublin.

MONEY MADE MORALS.

The Catholic Register expresses
the truth when it declares that the
low wage girl is the good girl more
often than not. The minimum
wage" law will help her If she has
character, and If not it will give her
start in dress competition with her
erring sister. But the good need the
minimum wage law and should have
it. Money will not preserve virtue,
but it will buy bread. Virtue is
its own reward" in this life, and
there is no buying it with a price.
BY the way, when man takes the
place of the girl at the higher wage
and drives the ladies home" will it
be to a home provided with an old
fashioned kitchen or just one of
those kitchens that pull out" from
the wall and connect with the gas
Jet?

OATHS ARE ALIKE.

Talking about the Jesuit oath and
the Knights of Columbus oath, why
don't the manufacturers of such
articles catch on to the oath which
janitors of Catholic churches are
obliged to take when they are
entrusted with guns and ammuni-
ton, which they care for under the
churches, along with the coal? It
is more horrible than any we have
yet discovered and is just as truthful
as the other oaths with which we
are fortified. This pointer is given
to the Guardians and their kind by
the Catholic Advance.

Notorious Delaney Meets
Death I'm Mining
Town.

The notorious w. ]. Delaney, who
for the past twenty years, under the
name of Rev. Delaney, has been
preaching against the Roman Cath
Ollie faith and assailing the nuns aud
priests of the country, on March %
died, penniless and alone, at
Bokoshe, a small mining town near
Muskogee, Okla, of spinal menin-
gifts. Delaney claimed to be an
ex-priest. Fifteen years ago he was
a sensation in the larger cities, where
the Catholics made up a large per
cent. of the population. Like all OF
his kind he met death poor in money
and friends. Had he been near some
of those good priests and nuns whom
he had so often wrongfully assailed
they would have comforted him in
his last hours on earth.

GIVE AT ONCE.

The suffering and loss following
.he floods that have prevailed
throughout the country are the
worst ever recorded and are almost
impossible of description. Fortu-
nately the raging waters have come
TO a stand and further damage
escaped. Those who have been SO
fortunate as to be out OF the
devastated territory should be
prompt and generous in their re-
Spouse to the appeals for aid for the
sufferers, many of whom have lost
the fruits of their life's work. NO
matter how much or how little, give
something for the relief of the un-
fortunates, and remember that he
who gives promptly gives doubly.

IMPROVING.

Michael Sheehan, who for the past
four weeks has been seriously i'll at
his home at Second and Hill, is now
thought to be convalescent and on
the road to recovery. For many years
he has conducted the grocery bust
ness at Nineteenth and Portland ave-
uue, and few men in the city have a
wider acquaintance than Mike Shee-
han. A pioneer among the
Hibernians of Louisville and always
interested in the city's material ad-
vancement, his speedy recovery is
sincerely hoped for.

UNDULY AGITATED.

Rev. Father Cannon, in the
Omaha True Voice, is in line with
the Kentucky Irish American. Some
of our Catholic contemporaries, he
says, seem to be much disturbed
over the fact that no Catholic has
a place in President Wilson's Cab
met. This fact, we confess, does
not give us any concern at all; and
we see no reason for attaching any
particular significance to it. To
appoint a man to Cabinet position
solely because he was a Catholic
would be indefensible, and to pass
him by solely for the same reason
would be equally indefensible. We
have no right to assume that the
President would be guilty of either
act. Common decency should forbid
us to attribute unworthy motives to
the Chief Magistrate of the country
when other explanations easily sug-
gest themselves. Mr.. Taft, we
believe, had no Catholic in his Cab
met; but no one, for this reason,
thought Of limiting that he was
bigot. The Catholic church is too
old, too great and too dignified a
body to care much because some
Catholic politician does not obtain
the political recognition that he
thinks is his due. For our part, we
have never known Catholic who
became a better Christian through
his having filled a political office;
while It is much to be feared that a
political career and sanctity Of life
do not go hand in hand.
"But II is our due" some one will
say. Nonsense. Let us safeguard
our self-respect, and the office will
seek the man; and II II does not, the
man can well do without II. Quer-
ulous newspapers hold no brief for
the great Catholic church Of
America, and they are not author
lied to speak for It. They allow
themselves TO be unduly impressed
by the ranting Of few anti-catholic
bigots-without influence and with
out repute-who claim 70 control
the President, the Cabinet and the
whole country. Just as Three Taiiors
Of Tooley street claimed TO represent
the whole people OF England. There
r. no better way of encouraging
those persons and playing into their
hands than by noticing them.
