STATUS OF HOME RULE.

The war in Europe has relegated
home rule to something like COM
parative oblivion; but IL is live
issue still, an donly one lnterpreta-
ton is put upon the Premier's
speech of July 80, and that failing
a settlement which can afterward be
embodied in an Amending" meas
ure, the home rule bill will be sent
to the King for his signature and
placed upon the statute book when
the date fixed for the propagation of
Parliament arrives.
Some Tories may pretend not to
understand the vital importance to
the Government which is attached to
the triumphant passing of the two
measures now ripe for the statute
book under the provisions of the
Parliament act, but great majority
of Unionists are under no delusions
on the point. They realize that fail
ure to pass these measures would
discredit the Government in the
eyes of the country, and might easily
prove fatal to the Ministry and
wholly disastrous to the British en-
pire. If the Orange leaders persist
In ignoring this feature of the I'm
perial situation, they will-to use a
phrase that may be described as
striking-'run their heads against a
stone wall"
Among the dire threats with which
1t is sought to intimidate the British
people is the nerve-shattering state
ment that the Ulster Volunteers will
not leave the North of Ireland If the
home rule bill is passed. AS no one.
officially or unofficially, in authority
or without authority, ever suggested
that the volunteers would be wanted
outside their own country, the threat
leaves the average Britisher ex-
tremely cold"
The bare idea of a German in
vasion of Ireland has scared the
British Government into fits, and
along the Southern coast the most
ridiculous precautions" are being
taken. From Queenstown along to
Berehaven and into Valencia may
now be described as a series of con-
nected Notifications fully occupied
by troops and powerfully equipped
with gunners and artillery Queens
town is absolutely in the hands OF
the military, railway connection to
that port having been entirely cut
off. At the other side of the har-
Dor Crosshaven, popular summer
resort, is also deserted, the women
and children having been ordered out
of the place at two hours notice.
The hotels at this town have been
Communicated by the military, and
are being fitted up for hospital pur-
poses. Even the nuns of the Cross
haven Convent have had to leave at
once. Similar steps have been taken
in Cork City, where all the local
hospitals have been requisitioned.
The Cork Carnegie Free Library has
also been commandered for hospital
purposes.

LABOR DAY AGAIN.

Despite the fact that the European
war has disturbed industrial condi-
tons in the United States tenn
porarily, Labor day will find the
American workingmen enjoying bet
ter conditions than they have ever
known in this country. Antagonist
and hatred, so marked a few years
ago, have given way to mutual help
fulness, and almost everywhere a
hearty cooperation between en-
ployers and wage earners now
obtains.
This is largely due to a realization
of the fact that their aims are
identical and their interests mutual,
which has led to a friendly attitude
that it is sincerely hoped will become
universal. Though there may be
found an occasional unjust employer
and foolish agitator, there is no
gainsaying that in no land on the
face of the earth is labor more
happy than in America. All is peace
here while Europe is convulsed with
war. American factories and fields
are filed with workers i'm the arts of
peace, while the workmen of Europe
are playing the grim game of slaugh-
tering one another America is still
the land of opportunity for those
who toll, and each year the condition
of the workers grows better and
better. The social conscience of the
nation seems to be aroused, and
where fifty years ago the worker had
little consideration his welfare is
today a subject of universal interest.

HENRI CORNERED.

To show his love for John Bull and
Andy Carnegie, Editor Henry Wat
terson came out strong against the
Germans this past week and gre" 50
bold as to say that there was not a
sympathizer of the Kaiser in the
United States outside of the German
Americans and advised the latter, II
they leaned that way, they should
by all means shoulder gun and
Join the German army. The conse-
quence of the above was that the
Courier-Journal was deluged with
protests and Watterson attacked so
vigorously that he contented himseii
Thursday by saying ITO hell with
the Hohenzollerns and the Haps-
burgs."

In accordance with the resolution
passed at its recent convention In
Pittsburgh. the Central Verein, or
National Federation of German Cath

funds for those of German or Aus
trian nationality who are rendered
dependent by the present European
conflict. Such funds are to be sent
directly to Germany and Austria for
distribution there. and are not to be
turned over to the American or Eng
fish Red Cross or any like agency.

ARE AMERICANS ALL.

Patriotism is sentiment natural
TO most men. and even when men
leave the land of their birth and
come TO a new country they find II
difficult TO throw off the ties that
bind TO the old. II Is to be expected
that the present world-conflict will
stir antagonistic emotions among
The children Of the various European
races In this country. But we are
all Americans. and for Americans the
word Of the President calling for
complete neutrality is to be heark'
eped to.

PRESIDENT WILSON'S MESSAGE.

Labor day, a day that brings a
message of cheer to the workers OF
America, is again here. Its observ-
ance, it's recognition, is not only
expedient, but is necessary IN
Justice to the rights of the worker.
In spite of its legalization in most
States, and its celebration in all
larger cities, thousands of men,
employers and employees, remain
Indifferent regarding Labor day.
This attitude is inconsistent with
the principles of the day. Organized
labor, with due limitation, has been
endorsed by Popes. by Kings, Presi-
dents and the worlds greatest bust
ness men. The President OF the
United States, Woodrow Wilson,
whose policies have the admiration
of the world, now comes forward
with this beautiful message to the
laborers of America through the
American Federationist:
81 feel that | can in good con-
science and with a heart full Of deep
confidence send a word of cheer, as
you suggest, to the workers OF
America on this Labor day Of the
interesting year 1914. No one can
look about him with frank eyes.
either in our believed country or in
any Of the great nations Of our time
which have civilization in their
hands without feeling that there is
a steady movement both Of purpose
and action toward justice, and a
fuller comprehension and realization
OF the essential rights and liberties
OF men. The movement may be
slow. may at times seem distressingly
and discouragingly slow, but 1t is
unmistakable; and all that we have
to do to set II forward with ever
Increasing momentum is TO think
Justly, purpose the things that are
right, and be afraid OF nothing ex-
cept to be unfair and selfish and
hasty when interests as great az
the country itself are involved"

while their men were fighting at the front

In the brochure of 10 pages entitled
Dunnett for Congress we read the fol
lowing: His early education wa,
probably no different from other Yer
mont boys, yet one school distinctly re-
mains in his memory as the boy re.
ceived a thrashing from his teache,
every day of the term. Finding that
the birch rod was directed to his bare
legs, Alexander procured pair of
cowhide boots and afterward took his
regular punishment with less pain and
more stoicism. Once, however, he for.
got his boots and the rod was duly an.
piled on the bare legs and feet, anger
ing the boy, not because of the pain,
but because of his thoughtiessness in
leaving his boots at home. " If this
does not constitute qualification for
Congress what does? Hooray for Dun
nett!
