Our friends on the Firing Line

popular phrase. clip one over on them.

Redmond and Home Rule

John Redmond. the Irish member of
the English Parliament, In a recent
interview, clearly showed himself
TO be either a Jesuit or an unit per.
son TO sit In Parliament.
AS every one knows, Mr.. Redmond
is advocating home rule for ireland
and says. ''the simple fact is that for
a century. under the operation OF the
act Of Union, Ireland has been bled
at every pore"
We wonder which Is the worst; 10
be bled by the papacy. or TO be bled
by the English Government.
That Ireland has been bled. none
can deny. The hierarchy has exacted
about all the wealth. manhood, intel
lect, morality and progress that coun-
try ever possessed, and now that Il
has been able to catch its second
breath the papacy Ia eager TO grasp
It's throat and wiring a few more due
ats out OF Il.
But II is presumed the Irish have 20
die like all other mortals. and the
dread Of purgatory is the chief asset,
hence those who know the greed Of
the Romish priestcraft can readily
suspect the reason the papacy Is after
barying the Irish.
Purgatsry WIN twist the ducata out
of the mos. abiect poor when prob
ably nothing else will.
But the overworked pope needs
money 10 pay for his keep, and thus
IT goes from century to century.
