Two Claiming Governorship

Little Rock. Ark, March 13.-Two
State senators laid claim to the office |
of governor of Arkansas today, ea-h |
esta ablished an Office at the capitol and |
as result the affairs Of the State are
in tangle, which it seems only the
court can unravei.
The resignation Of Gov. Joe T. Rob
inson last Saturday 10 assume the
duties Of United States senator, to
which cffice he was elected by the
Legislature, brought about the muddle.
The Arkansas constitution does not
provide for a lieutenant governor, but
in the event of the resignation of the
governor the president Of the senate
succeeds TO the Office arbitrarily.
Last Saturday Senator William F. Old
ham, brother-i r-iu-law CT Gov. Robinson,
held this Office and when the governor
resigned Oldham took possession of
the governors office Monday the SEN
ate elected Senator John NJ. Futrell,
president pro tempore, to act as lieu
tenant governor until the legislature
reconvenes two years hehce. Today
the legislature adjourned and Futrell
appeated at the governors Office and
demanded that Oldham retire in his
favor. Oldham, backed by an opinion
of the attorney general, who held Old
ham was legally the governor, refused.
Futrell then established himself in the
Office of the president of the senate,
aud is endeavoring to administer the
affairs of the State while Oldham is
making the same endeavor in another
part of the building. Each has a
strong following and have declared
their intention Of fighting the issue to
| the end.
The law provides that if such a va
| cancy occurs within year of the ex-
| piration of the governors term spe-
| ciai election shall be called at once to
choose an executive. Futren says he
will call all election INN; edistely.
! Oldham says he will do the same
thing 'as soon as matters quiet down
| q little"

ULSTER AND CARSON.

! The failure Of Carson and his mis-.
guided followers to impress upon the
| mind Of Englishmen their loyalty and
devotion to the crown while they are
at the same time preparing for rebel
lion and secession, has, to say the
least, put the Ulster movement in a
very bad light, light which may
we'll lead those interested in Home
Rule to question their sincerity and
demonstrations of loyalty.
British simple mindedness has
shown its inability to understand the
Irish character. but in the last quar-
ter Of a century British justice has
been moved to at least a point Of Civ
ing Ireland hearing. There Is some
recognition of the evils which the
English government has inflicted upon
Ireland. No conclusion can be drawn
in favor of Ulster by their attempt to
prove the possibility Of religious in
tolerance under Home Rule.
Ulster is aware Of its centuries Of
prosperity under the Union and the
patronage of the government, natur-
ally they are suspicious but they fail
to recognize in the argument, the al
tentative of allowing Ulster to pros
per at the expense of the remainder Of
the country or grant some measure of
prosperity to those who have so long
contributed to the present rebellious
territory.
At the worst it could not compare
with what the Irish Catholics have
suffered and at best it offers to Ul-
ster the opportunity for prosperity in
which all of ireland might unite.
A great body Of the English public
have overcome their prejudice and are
studying the question Of Home Rule
as it should be enthusiastically, po.
litically and economically. True there
always will be a vast majority Of
Britishers who will think in terms Of
superiority, hatred, enmity and scorn
when thinking of Ireland, but econom-
ic. and political conditions in Europe
will no longer permit her wisest
statesmen to be moved by these preju-
dices. The business of the day is too
important to England In maintaining
her position in Europe - position
threatened by German ascendancy.
England sacrificed prejudice in a
time of necessity before and wiser
craftsmanship directs the same step
in the present instance. The old pref
udices make no appeal in time of need
and the sorest spot of the English
body polite at the present time is Ul-
ster and its declaration Of loyalty.

MEXICO.

The Mexican situation has had q
special political meaning in American
politics and combinations Of interests
and money have been prominent in
Mexican affairs in this country for
many years and they have been able
to direct whatever attention has been
given to Mexico. The situation has
changed in the present instance and
the other considerations which the
problem merits. This country was to
endure English criticism or hastily in
tervene.
What surprise it must have been
to those who clamor for immediate in
tervention to be told that II it were
as bad as pictured they should leave
the country. In Mexico democracy has
been a failure. With us it has been
successful. but the temperament of the
people and the conditions Of the coun.
try together with its history are de-
termining factors which the theory of
democratic ideas must take into ac-
count before actual practice In the
science of government can be applied
If the country were not protected by
the Monroe Doctrine the steps taken
by the British government for in
creasing her territory would already
have made US aware Of the purpose
behind the demand that something be
done. Mexico did not prosper until
ruled with an iron hand and when the
grasp was loosened rebellion again
broke out. Each successive band of
revolutionists have styled themselves
the saviors Of the country, only to
prove their lawlessness as they made
their opportunities for plunder.
Truth has been disregarded in deal
ing with Mexico, every private investi-
gator who came from the country af-
ter few months Of so-called investi-
cation entertained the American pub
lie by coloring the facts and malign-
ing the Church-even the Outlook
took its turn at this. No doubt the
angels fear at present to tread in Mex
leo but the fools who wish to rush in
are legion.

CATHOLIC PRESS.

The claims of the Catholic press to
news recognition is an important sub
jedt for discussion In Catholic press
circles.
b is now many years since the
Catholic Press was established In the
United States, and while some Of the
hsSdest battles Of the Church have
beSn fought and won by 1t, while 1t is
today the strongest power for defense
when defense is needed, still is 1t left
to osstruggle along as best it can on
the difficult way toward efficiency,
writes DR.. Thomas A. Hart in the
Catholic Telegraph of Cincinnati.
And the Catholic journalist, who has
succeeded, would have been wealthy
and famous, had he given to any other
profession or, business the time and
energy and talent he has had to con-
ceHtrate upon his paper.
The average Catholic editor does
n6x ask for any favors, but he does
exhect, and rightfully, some consid-
Grafton in the department which he
has specialized. Catholic news be-
longs first to him, and not to the daily
press, which more readily publishes
what is slanderous against the
OAu1IA SlA041 I" AkS Az "a OuAtekOAO0 hAAV"
ing It thereby, satisfies q desire on
the greater part Of its readers.
The recent convention Of the Cath
olic Press Association, the report of
which has been published, makes the
following point, which should be
borne in mind by those who are the
custodians Of Catholic news:
:..rhe local Catholic paper is by
every right entitled to preference in
the giving out Of any special news
from churches or affiliated societies
within its field. AS emphasized by
the Holy Father himself, the Catholic
paper renders great service to the
Church In defense of Catholic inter-
ests and rights, and therefore should
have the consistent and practical sup
port Of every Catholic. The type Of
individual who thinks first of secular
papers when there is Catholic news to
be- given out, and of the Catholic
paper only when special service or
personal publicity is desired, should
be given. to understand that there Is
such q thing as reciprocity"

AN. IRISH MAGAZINE.

Many literary men interested In the
progress Of Irish affairs are advocat-
ing the establishment of an Irish
monthly magazine. The Chicago Cit
izen has attempted to crystalline SEN
tfment In Chicago. We can say with
Prp4 Cahill that we also believe that
there ID genuine need Of such a pub
hcation. There are many questions
bearing upon the past, present, and
future of the Irish race which cannot
be adequately treated in q weekly
paper. The wealth Of spiritual pow.
err which the Englishmen, Begbie.
and Belloc. consider 1reland's especial
possession Is not given due consider
alton in this land. The children Of
Erin and more particularly her chill
dren's children, are growing forget
full, Of their Inheritance amidst mate
riatisttc surroundings. The conse.
quence is that while Celtic views Of
life are receiving an increasing at
tention elsewhere, they are passing
through an ebb tide here. The cause
to- some extent, is that we have no
adequate medium through which
these Views may receive expression.

we're formerly buried in the cloister.
