the Catholic Association, political or
SANITATION to fight for Catholic emancf-
patton. Finally it was obtained. but only
because disorder in Ireland forced an I'M
willing English government to grant 1t.
That gave the cue to the south of Ire
land. There was confusion after OCon-
nells day, and lack of organization. but
the time came when home rule was de-
manded and when Parnell made the ma
tionalist party an independent organiza-
ton that both British parties must
reckon with.
From the time the Orange order was
established the Protestant party IN Ulster
came to think more and more of loyalty
and came to hate and fear the Catholics
as they had not done even in the days OF
King James. During the long years when
the Irish national movement appeared
simply in the guise of a demand Tor
Catholic emancipation this feeling was
deepened and widened.
Parnell, it is true, was Protestant
Other leaders of the nationalist move
ment have been and are Protestants.
But such as these the Ulster Orangeman
regards as apostates and traitors. He
will have no home rule, because it means
Rome rule. Four-tifths of the people
of Ireland are still Roman Catholics.

Somewhere Off in the wilds OF Mon
tana there Is a great big. fierce, man
eating animal who could justly stand up
under the common, ordinary, everyday
rag-time ejaculation: Hes a bear,' l
suppose he's off there in Montana. I'M
less he has died recently. Assuming
he's alive and well. eating blackberries
and eluding city men who go hunting
for him. he probably will be glad to hear
that Bill Kemeys is going to the Philip
pines to be assistant secretary of the
commission that runs the islands.
That bear is not exactly an acquaint-
ance OF Bill Kemeys but he is respon-
sible in way for Bilrs entry into pub
lie life and his long and praiseworthy
stay in Speaker Clark's Office. Coz.
Roosevelt has his bull moose and
Speaker Clark his Ozark houn' dawg.
President Wilson his Jersey mosquitoes.
but when Bill goes to the Philippines all
ne has Is bear. And beyond these re-
marks 1t is proper to observe that Bill
kemeys is about the only person l have
heard Of around these parts in this ad-
mfnistration who can trace a polltlcal re-
lationship to Boies Penrose and Mon
tana bear. and who at the same time IS
getting any sort of an advancement. 10
a democrat Boies Penrose has horns ana
hoofs-and to some republicans, out ne
seems to be getting to the place he
started for at that.
To dispense with these rambling re-
marks, Bill Kemeys has been clerk
and stenographer In the anteroom OF
Speaker Clark's office ever since the
House went democratic Thousands upon
thousands OF men who have gone to see
the Speaker on big. important things
had to run the gantlet between Bin
Kemeys and Wallace Bassford, and LOT
of them have thought mighty well OF
Bill.
Just to show you what good fellow
Bill is he kept his Boies Penrose job IN
the Speakers office in the face of de-
mand from all Missouri for political pie
and patronage and had his salary dou-
bled to the limit Of its pecuniary quail
fications at that. Any one who remem-
bers the horde Of hungry office seekers
who landed here at the beginning Of this
administration can imagine how their
mouths watered for Bills tob-which Is
by no means a civil service affair.
Wallace Bassford advised Bill to seek
for higher things. telling him the old
story-young man in government job
small future-better strike out into the

the Chicago Record-Herald.

From the Chicago RecOrd-Herald.
The people have been in the dumps,
We shall make no attempt to deny It;
We have bumped an assortment of bumps
But what have we protted by it?
The prophets of evil have sat
In their corners, disgruntled and spiteful
But the world, Notwithstanding all that
Gives promise of being delightful.
1t is time for the douhters to learn
To cease their disconsolate wailing:
There prizes the worthy shall earn,
And courage shall still be unfailing;
1t is time TO be up and at work,
With hopes that are worthy aud boundless;
The fears OF the grumbers who Turk
In their corners complaining are groundless
The past with its troubles is dead;
Why linger inactive and cheerless?
It is time to be going ahead,
Determined and eager and fearless;
There is work for the workers to do,
There is praise for the ones who would win it
new and bright era is due,
It Is time to wake up and get in it !"
