THREE OTHER CLERKS

Aahlon c. Hamcr that letter she had

Edmund X. Bennett and Joseph Mid
dleton. clerks at the postoiiice, have
been dismissed and John W. Oroney,
another clerk, had his salary reduced
from 81 200 annually to 5000. Two
other clerks. Harrison Gould and James
Sculley, were each given 100 demerit
marks. Orders to this effect were re-
ceivod by Postmaster English yester-
day from the Postollce Department at
Washington, and they take effect ON
July !, except in the case OF Bennett
who was suspended several days ago.
The dismissal of Bennett and Middle
ton, both of whom had been employed
at the postoflice for several years, came
as surprise, aud IL is understood they
win ask for a hearing before the Civil
/ Service Commissioners. Bennett, It is
understood, has engaged J. Frank Ball
/ TO represent him in fighting his dis
missal.
When Postmaster English was spoken
TO about the matter this morning hc
refused to announce the names of those
involved, adding that this information
would have TO come from the Postoihco
] Department at Washington Postmaster

own good judgment as we'll as trib-
ute of worth to Mrs. jolly by plac-
ing her upon this important commits
sion. Mrs. jolly is public spirited
woman of known ability and her
work on the commission will sub
stantiate all of the compliments
which her friends have ever been
eager to pay her. The commission
is directed to make a final report to
the Governor not later than Jan. Is.
1915. Social workers throughout
the country will eagerly await the
report of the Rhode Island commits
sions with view of obtaining val
liable information along which to di-
rect their work. 1t is pleasant to
note the prominence of Catholic
workers and the confidence which
public officials place in their judg-
ment in undertaking matters of So
cial reform. Many Catholic work
ers are being placed on prominent
committees and given important
places in the work of social reform.
The prominence of the Catholic
Church in industrial and social mat
tiers has attracted the attention of
the nation at large and it is recog-
nized as the only bulwark against
the encroachment of socialism and
against industrial and social fads.
Hence 1t is to be expected that
prominent Catholics will be named
and trusted for their sanity and
soundness of social doctrine by be-
ing placed on important commits
sions.

REDMOND's ASSURANCES.

The action of John Redmond in
the House of Commons in assuring
the English people that the Irish
volunteers would defend Ireland in
her time of danger and her time of
peril from the invasion of the Teu-'
ton, coming as it did on the heels
of the butchery by the kings own
volunteers in the streets of Dublin,
gives remarkable evidence of the
it still seems necessary to pay for
Irish liberty in the cause of Home
Rule. 1t is certainly worth while
specializing now that the English
government is about to put the Irish
volunteers upon war basis to pro-
tect the shores of Ireland when the
English army is withdrawn, or If
it need be, to place them to fight
the cause of Britannia in Europe.
The volunteers have been armed in
many instances through the re-
sources of their friends in America
and money forwarded to them. very
clever indeed of John Bull to take
advantage of the present fighting
equipment there is in Ireland to en-
gage in a European war with the
basis of supplies and one source of
his funds originating from the Irish
in America. 1t should be the bust
ness of some one to see to 1t that
the Irish volunteer war chest and
the Irish volunteers rifles are used
first to obtain Home Rule and If
there is an English army left at that
time it will be better for King
George to keep the savages at home
rather than to turn them loose in the
streets of Dublin.

SOUTH AMERICAN IRISH.

An Irish flavor will be gievn to

HONOR FOR MRS. JOLLY.

Mrs. Ellen Ryan jolly of Provi-
dence, Rhode Island, and the ma
tional president of the Ladies' Aux
Hilary of the Ancient Order of Hi
bernians, has been honored by Gov
ernor Pothier of Rhode Island by
being appointed on the immigration
committee. The purpose of the COM
mission is to study the social and
economic conditions of foreigners
coming to the State of Rhode Island
and to make further inquiries into
the statistics and conditions of i'm
migrants. their way of living, social
conditions, business opportunities
and facilities and also their relation
to the industrial, social and economic
conditions of all the people of the
State. The Investigations Of the
committees will be made with the
view of obtaining information for
the enactment of such laws as will
bring non-English speaking foreign
ers in sympathy with American in
situations and customs. The ap-

BAR ANTI-CATHOLIC LECTURER.
Anti-Catholic Speaker Not Wanted

chester, Iowa.


Ralph Conger, manager of the
Central Opera House of Manchester,
Iowa, found himself in a peculiar
situation because of Catholic
lectures which were scheduled to be-
gin on Wednesday night of last
week, says the Western World. The
business men of Manchester brought
pressure tWbear upon the manager
of the opera house. and doors were
closed to the anti-Catholic lecturer,
w. H. Boles, of Marion, Ill. The
streets of Manchester were strewn
with handbills, with glazing head
lines-''The Rottenness of Roman
ism," and on the back of the hand
bill was printed the alleged fourth
degree Of the Knights of Columbus
oath.

splendid progress in all directions,
and the enthusiasm of the people
shows no sign Of abatement. The
arming and equipment of the men in
Ulster is rapidly proceeding, and, if
there is to be "a war of extermina-
tion," the Nationalist of Ulster will
not go down without some show of
resistance. The Carsonites and their
Tory hackers are living in FOOLS
paradise about Ireland and Ulster.
They do not realize what has hap
pened in Ireland during the past
thirty years. Professor Kettle puts
this view with force and precision in
an article in the Daily Chronicle"
in the course of which he says:
"The cardinal mistake that vitiates
so much discussion of Irish affairs is
chronological illusion. People inn
agine that the Ireland of 1914 is the
same as that of 1893 or 1885, or even
1879. Ireland has, on the contrary,
passed into wholly new phase of
her orbit. She is no longer latter
demalion and unsupported Cinderella.
The farmers have security. Capital
is growing. Education has been
transformed. New ambitions are
everywhere stirring. The lease of
Orange favoritism has run out, and
something like fair start is now pos
sible. The glamor of industrialism
has been a good deal furnished by our
ripper knowledge of the human price
that had to be paid for it. A COM
munity which at present, alone in the
United Kingdom, could face closed
ports without fear of starvation, has
come to the conclusion that if places
in the sun are going it ought to have
one.
"The note of Nationalist Ireland is
no longer the desperate appeal of
misery; it is the note of strength.
The notion that such a country with
its military tradition is going to allow
itself to be bullied by mechanics,
counter-jumpers, and Kings Counsel
is too ludicrous for discussion. We
should be sorry that any conflict
should be forced on us, whether in
the sphere of arms or in that of in
dustry. We feel it an outrage that
our national organism should, even
for a brief period, be subjected to
cuts clean or dirty. But it is not we
whom the phraseology of your pop
ular song-will either get out or get
under"
The Howth Gun Running.
Public feeling has been stirred to
its depths by the accounts published
this morning of the successful gun
running by the Irish Volunteers at
Howth-a feat which puts quite into
the shade the much-vaunted Unionist,
gun-running at Larne-and by the
details of the shooting of men, wom-
en- and children by the soldiers of
the Scottish Regiment stationed in
Dublin. Some four persons have been
killed, and some eighty wounded.
One of the killed is woman, and
little boy is amongst the wounded.
The facts must be thoroughly investi-
gated, and adequate punishment met
ed out to those responsible. The
Irish Party demand the fullest in
quiry into the whole matter. Mr..
Devlin is asking the Chief Secretary
why some FIVE thousand Carsonite
Volunteers were permitted to parade
with arms and machine guns in Bel
fast on Saturday, whilst the streets
were kept clear for them by the
police, and why different treatment
was resorted to in the case of the
Irish Volunteers in Dublin.
