GOOD MARTIN

Something real sad is going to happen to IT, II.
Martin, the dignified and complacent Hicockalorum
of the Tacoma Commercial club at the next meeting
of the board of trustees of the club in all probability
To be brutaly short about it, Martin is going to
get neat tin tied to him. He is going to have
the skids put under him. This is the prophesy of a
of the younger members of the club who called
at The Times offices late yesterday afternoon to con-
graduate this newspaper its utterances regard
ing the idiotc farce of the tremendous publicity
movement" that Martin has headed since he blew in,
handpicked by couple of realestaters three years
ago.
On Wednesday, The Times gave Martin some
credit for helping to publish the beautiful book,
Tacoma which was issued by the club, in coop
Grafton with the O.-W. railroad two years ago.
This sad error on the part of The Times
The book had been contracted for some time before
the doughty Martin dropped in The work was

bership of the club is insistent that Martin go and

There is said to be member of the board of
trustees, rather prominent real estate broker who
at sure that he wants to vote for Martins re-

the futility of trying to the ponderous pet of
the Amen Corner boys of the club is obvious The

Important Addition to State Historical
Library.

The State Historical Library,
through the efforts of Prof R. T. Ely
and Father P. B. Knox, of Madison,
has now become the recipient of a
collection of works on Ireland which
will, if the founders hopes are real
ICED, in time become the most impor-
tant Irish collection in America.
Professor Ely's interest in the mat
ter grew out of his economic studies,
which imbued him with the conviction
that America has much to learn from
the history and culture of the Irish.
He interested Father Knox in his am
bition to collect at Madison a refer
ence library on Ireland, and Father
Knox in turn prevailed upon the An
cient Order of Hibernians to contrib
ute $500 for the purpose of initiating
one. It is expected that further sums
of money will be. contributed from
time to time for the purchase of adj
ditional books. An appropriate and
artistic book plate has been designed
for the collection by Mr.. Arthur Pea
body, the University architect.-Wis.

THE MEXICAN SITUATION.

Affairs in Mexico have taken an
unexpected turn. Huerta has refused
to make amends for his insults to
the flag and the American Marines.
The waiting policy of the Presi-
dent has had little effect on Huerta.
1t has convinced the world of the
good faith Of America in not wanting
or wishing to enter into a war of
conquest in Mexico, thus good faith
having been established the question
now arises whether or not the policy
of non-recognition of Huerta by
President Wilson was, after all, the
best policy. Certainly it had the ef-
feet of giving encouragement to the
rebels and all who, for one reason or
another are opposing Huerta and the
present government in Mexico.
American forces are now concentrat-
ing in Mexico. American warships
are in Mexican waters and United
States troops are in possession of the
custom house at Vera Cruz. War has
not been declared, but the: situation
is serious. All Mexicans are uniting
unedr Huerta as against what they
may term the common enemy. 1t is
Huerta's only chance to save himself,
and his regime. AS for America, no
one knows how far we may now have
to proceed in Mexican matters since
we have taken this decisive step.

Lack Of sociabiIity.

The modest Catholic goes to Mass,
assists devoutly, Sundays and holy
days, and goes home. So he may go
on for twenty years, but none of the
household" will venture to say
word to him or give him grasp of
the hand. Meanwhile, however, the
priest. who may never speak to him
outside the confessional, would, if
necessary, suffer death to give him
the last rites.
The modest Catholic may attend all
the lectures of the summer school
extension, or any other course" and
at the end of each the audience will
pass out, as if it were tn atre they
were leaving, with never so much as a
kindly glance for the brother to whom
they have not been introduced, and
are not likely to be introduced. Yet,
all would stand together and suffer, If
need be, for the faith. In a word, we
are strong in essentials, but negligent
in courtesy. Yet courtesy is a flower
Of faith.-America.

CATHOLIC SCHOOLS WIN.
Council Of Paris Approves PROPOSE.

A victory has been scored by the
free Catholic schools of Paris. In
connection with the French schools
there is a system of aid for poor
scholars in the shape of clothes,
meals, necessary expenses and goods
of all kinds which are given out to
the children of INDECENT parents.
At the last sitting of the city coun-
Gil of Paris, M. Alpy made PROPOSE
ton that this aid, hitherto confined to
the lay or anti-religious schools,
should also be available to scholars
of the free schools. His plea that po-
litical passions should give way be-
fore the helplessness and needs of
infancy was supported by M. Rolin
and NM. Hebert and Deville. The
former pointed out that instruction
given in the free schools was legal in
struction and that benefits should be
independent of religious and social
questions. M. Deville deprecated the
portion of funds which should 60 to

A PITlFUL PLEA,


Bonar Law made pitiful plea for
a judicia Investigation of the move
ment of the Army in Ulster. He
made various charges against the
government and sought to prove the
attempt on the part of the govern
ment to coerce and disrupt the or
ganization of the Ulstentes. Premier
Asquith refused the request for the
investigation, stating that If Mr.. Law
could make an yspecific charge he
was at liberty to do so and the gov
eminent would then order an investi-
cation. This adroit answer from the
Premier put an end to the controver-
sy. The Orange men are desperate.
They are looking for any excuse and
seeking any pretense that may be
brought forward to kindle the fires
of hatred and rebellion, but the bub-
BILE has bursted. The treachery and
treason of Seely and the army has
had it's results. Home Rule is no
longer local problem. 1t concerns
the very life of the English nation
and as such it is receiving the atten-
ton of the members Of the British
Parliament, who are concerned with
the integrity of the nation as a whole
and they realize the dangerous posi-
ton of any betrayal of the Irish

Church Schools Would Be Doomed
Under Socialism.

In the event that Socialism got the
upperhand, all elementary religious
education would. be doomed. John
Spargo, member of the National
Executive Committee of the Socialist
Party, has the following to say:
Whether the Socialist regime could
tolerate the existence of elementary
schools other than it's own, such as
privately conducted kindergartens and
schools, religious schools, and so on,
is questionable. Probably not. 1t
would probably not content itself with
refusing to permit religious doctrines
or ideas to be taught in its schools,
but 1t would go further, and, as the
natural protector Of the child, guard
its independence Of thought in labor
life as far as possible by forbidding
religious teaching Of any kind in the
school for children up to certain age.

THE SCHOOL AND SOCIALISM,.

There is not a loyal American in
any corner of the country or any sec
ton of our land but recognizes the
evil of socialism and is daily be-
coming more and more acquainted
with its immoral tenets and sinful
teachings. Neither is there a section
of the country but recognizes the
fight being waged by the Catholic
Church against socialism and the
Industrial Workers of the World.
Single handed and alone the Catholic
Church stands out in her fight
against the destruction of the home
and the family, against the attempts
made by socialism to oevrthrow all
that civilization has stood for and
built up to preserve society and ad-
vance the interests of humanity. How
little they read and how frail the un-

side of the church for protection

attitude in educational matters. One

combination of patriotism and anar-
chy could hardly be imagined. Yet
