ferring to members of Irish party,

nationality OF Ireland in the big

and makes the declaration that the
whole argument on Home Rule
has disappeared. The leading
papers of London, as we'll as other
influential organs outside of
London. not in sympathy with
Irish Home Rule do not take
seriously the declaration of Mr..
Redmond that home rule is alb
solutely assured. No matter what
assurance may be given by Mr..
Redmond. the leading papers of
England assure the country that he
is not talking about the same thing
that British papers have in mind
when they speak of Home Rule.
Not a single Unionist paper has
accepted the declaration. He is
told that England has waived
every other point excepting an
Irish Parliament and that he is
unreasonable and in sense tech

separate Parliament for ireland,

CONGRESSIONAL SENTI-
MENT.

Representatives and senators
who are making vigorous attack
on President Wilson's war policy
charge two counts against him.
First, that the President has
failed to stop British raids upon
American commerce and has toll
Grated British violation in inter-
national law and British breach
of American neutrality that
brands his administration as pro-
British; second. that he has
singled out Teutonic empires to
hold to "strict accountability"
with the result that present and
future relations with those coun-
tries are impaired, while they ar
que that the President is not en-
titled to any credit for keeping
this country out of war because
the Teutonic Allies would gain
by declaration of war; they
would then have free hand in
dealing with shipments of ammu-
milton to the Allies, that it is only
their consistent historic friendship
and friendliness for the United
States in the past that keeps the
central empires at peace with us.
That the American people will
hold the President to strict ac-
countability for the course he has
pursued in dealing with European
belligerents is the prediction of a
number of Democrats and Repub-
licans who are prepared to analyze
the result of the foreign policy of
the United States. The Presi-
dents course has not pleased
many in, his own party, says the
Kentucky Irish American. There
will be a great DETECTION from
party lines, comments the editor
of the True Voice, of Omaha, and
Mr.: Wilson will have a thorny
road to travel during the next few
months.

in all their vigor in the Ancient
Order of Hibernians.
Material results have been ac-
complished which speak compli-
mentary of the vigor and activity
of the order in all sections of the
country. New Hibernian homes
have been erected by the men,
bers. Others are I'M course of
erection. The spirit of Hibernian-
ism is action. Locally the Hi
bernians and the Auxiliary Of
Ramsey County have undertaken
the erection of a magnificent home
which they hope to occupy before
the year draws to a close. New
officers have been elected to do
the work of the divisions for the
ensuing year. 1t should be the
pleasure as we'll as the duty and
privilege of the new officers to
enter upon their work with great
enthusiasm and zeal. A vote of
confidence was extended each
officer when elected. The officers
of each division should take adj
vantage of every opportunity to
bring the work of the order be-
fore the public III a favorable light
and. through social and literary
gatherings, utilize the talent of
the members of the division. In
return for the honor which the
order confers upon members by
entrusting them with the guild
ance of its destinies, the officers
owe it to the organization to give
it their best endeavors in building
of the society and in fostering and
encouraging the spirit OF Hiber-
nianism. Talk the good of the Of
der at all times. speak we'll of the
membership, speak we'll of your
fellow man. 1t is particularly in
cumbent upon the officers to en-
courage among the membership
study and acquaintance with the
glories as we'll as the sorrows of
Irish history. What claim can
ignorance have upon Hibernian-
ism? Should any man or woman
aspire to hold Office by announc-
ing that they had never read
history of Ireland, that the post
man brought to their home every
conceivable form of magazines
and newspapers save those which
were devoted to the interests of
the Irish race? We are nothing if
we are not sincere. Neither the
officers nor the members of the
order will accomplish anything il
they are not deadly in earnest. 1t
is a breach of good faith for an
officer of the Ancient Order of
Hibernians to accept any position
while ignorant OF the fundamental
principles OF Hibernianism. 1t is
safe to say that i'll practically ev-
cry case when division fails
either to maintain itself or make
progress it is due to officers who
have no understanding of the
spirit of Hibernianism and are not
grounded in the history of the
race, and consequently are unable
through ignorance to become en-
thusiastic leaders. federation of
ignorance is not charity, it is pure
indifference.

the remarkable address delivered
by Hon. Burke Cochran, under the
auspices of the Knights of Column
bus, in Chicago. The address of
Mr.. Cochran is reprinted in full

all Americans regardless of creed
or nationality. The circumstances
under which the address was de-
livered, the fact that all nationali-
ties and all creeds combined to
make up the audience, together
with the important facts brought
out and arguments presented by
this noted speaker makes the ad-
dress of Mr.. Cochran one of
greatest Importance.
