of arms. This is the gist Of the
whole situation.
England feared resistance, Brit
ish government feared resistance at
a time when soldiers could not be
spared. When they could be spared
the military authorities did not hes
itate to slaughter defenseless citi-
zens in Dublin. England was not
in difficulty then, but England is in
difficulty now. That is why con-
scription was not enforced in Ire
land. The Defense of the Realm
Act accomplished the same purpose.
Ireland's best opportunity was
thrown away by those who should
have taken advantage of the op-
portunity offered.

REASONABLE PREPARED
NESS

James K. Mcclure, former may
orof Syracuse, N. Y, and an author
of numerous books, among them
"The King, The Kaiser and Irish
Freedom and "What Germany
Could Do For Ireland" has put
the matter of preparedness" in the
proper light so far as the political
side of the issue is concerned, in a
recent editorial in the Catholic
Sum-"
Mr.. Mcclure says:
In the Presidential campaign, that
will occupy the peoples closest at
tention for some time to come,
there is no end to the variety of
special inducements for nomina-
ton and election held out by am
bilious candidates. Preparedness
will probably be the idea that will
set fire to the imaginative patriot
ism of our countrymen. There is
a certain flare in the blood that
The Irish standard. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn. ;) 1886-1920, 1916-02-12
mounts to the head and, for the time

being, paralyzes our clearer under
standing. 1t is like first love and
commencement day. You are so
overcharged with sentimental prop
critics that brass band and a cam
paign orator, although both are
poor, swell your heart with desires
to show the enemy the finest army,
the biggest navy of any country in
the world. With "Old Glory" wav-
ing in the breeze, and a man talking
as easily as a summers breath, pre-
paredness looks like a spectacular
drama but when our fitness makes
of us people ruled by militarism
then glory departs and grim death
free of any gold lace or slow music
and tableau lights, takes the place
of the brass band, and, then, with

BILL FOR NATIONAL UNIVERSITY
RElNTRODuCED.

n6IN SnOOOS6Os
Senator Dillingham; of New Hamp-
shire last week reintroduced his bill

States, to be established in the Dis
trict of Columbia.
The purpose of the University is
to provide facilities for the highest
possible instruction in the sciences.
arts and letters; to promote the adj
vancement of knowledge by means of
original research and Investigation;
to provide the instruction needed to.
qualify students for important posts
in the service Of state or nation.
The board of regents which is to-
govern the university is to have as
its president the President of the Uni
ted States, and as its members the
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court,
the Attorney General, the Secretary
Of State, the Secretary Of Agricul-
ture, the president of the University,
the Secretary of the Smithsonian In
stitution and the Commissioner of
Education, together with twelve citf-
zens of the United States appointed
by the President and confirmed by the
Senate. Special provision is made
that the University shall be non-poli-
tical from partisan standpoint, and
non sectarian. An appropriation of
100000 is made available for build
ings and site, and 100000 for an en-
Cowment fund.

ANTl.cHlLD LABOR BILL PASSED
BY THE HOUSE.

The Heating anti.child labor bib
went to the Senate from the House
last week, having passed the lower
body of Congress by vote of 1877 to As.
1t prohibits the interstate shipment Of
any commodity produced in part or
wholly by children under fourteen,
years of age, working in mills. Gamer
les, workshops or manufacturing es-
Establishments. In the, case of factories
where children are employed at night
or more than eight hours day the
minimum age is set at sixteen years.
The bill was fought by southern
members largely, for the most part on
the ground that the bill ID, unconsti-
tutional. Representative Webb Of
North Carolina, chairman Of the tudic.
larry committee, took this view. He.
endeavored to exempt the children Of
widows from the scope Of the bill. but
was not successful. Former Speaker
Cannon offered an amendment to ex-
empt canneries, because Of the COM
petition with similar establishments in
Canada, where there are no restric-
lions of child labor. The only ma
terial change made was by the adop-
ton of an amendment to exempt boys
and girls canning clubs.

Who Shall Study for the Priesthood?

fortress, pure, and of hard, grinding
toll, let him not dare to enter the
sanctuary.
If he is to be a priest whose minis
try is to be agreeable to the Great
High Priest, he must look forward to
years of close imitation of his Master,
for our Lord in the text in which He
calls the Apostles to the priesthood in
dicates also the means by which that
priesthood is to be fruitful. He prom

ers of men, The condition He lays
down, then, is the close imitation Of
Himself, and young man who aspires
to the holy ministry must have in his
heart the serious desire to copy in his
life the example of Jesus Christ, the
Great High Priest, and just as our
Lords life in days of old in His public
ministry was characterized by His zeal
for the Fathers glory, a tender and d.
vine compassion for souls, and con-
slant union with His Father in pray.
er, so every young man whose thoughts
turn to the altar must recollect that
his life, while being separated from
the world and worldly ambitions, must
be devoted solely to the Fathers glory.
That must be the one aim of his ef-
forts and strivings, the one purpose of
his toll. In his ministry his heart
must be filled with sympathy and COM
passion for souls, a sympathy as DIFF
ferent from softness as He'll is from
Heaven, but which is tenderness like
the tenderness which was in Christ's
Heart.
Finally, he must look forward to be-
ing a man of prayer, who finds his
strength and courage before the taber-
nacle of which he is custodian.

PRIESTS IN PRISON.

I'VE have fifteen priests in prison
in New South Wales guilty of no
crime beyond that they were born of
a certain nation" said DR.. Kelly, Arch
bishop of Sydney. His Grace asked
for the priests interned in New South
Wales permission to go out on parole.
One Brother had died in the Liver
pool camp and two priests who wen
to read the burial services were sent
to Liverpool. A nun of another coun-
try, who had been seven years in Ire
land, was returning to Sydney, and
got an authorization from Sir George
Reid. Yet when passing Colombo she
was taken from her companions. The
minister of external affairs got her
sent on to Sydney, and then she was
told she had not got an order to land.

Pittsburgh knights of Columbus
are doing things. They have spent
$4,000 in the interest of children
unfortunate enough to get into the
juvenile court. Altogether 5000
children have been benefited and
their faith persevered. These chill
dren have not become the victims
of poverty whose conversion was
then sought by those who would
trade on their poverty and credulity.
The Pittsburgh Knights deserve
unmeasured praise for their practi-
cal work.
