acnleVlng IN q lew minutes the dream
of centuries of struggle. The man

met on the Hill of Tara when the
Roman Forum and Westminster were
wastes, cannot feel any strangeness
In this country Of free legislative as.
semblies. The courts of America can
not but be familiar to the descend
ants of race which tried in open
daylight, before jury of equals,
those accused of infringing upon the
Brehonic laws. To the well-informed
mind every page of our written Con-
stitution and the entire structure OF
our institutions suggests the influence
of the throng of Irish pioneers, and
turns the mind back to the ages when
the Island Of Saints and Scholars
was the model of nations, regarded
as the seat of learning and the home
of freedom.
1t is sincerely hoped by the State
officers that the December elections
resulted in the selection of the fittest
available men for Division offices
No duty resting upon members is
more important than this choosing of
officers. A Division is either made or
broken by its officers. just as any bat
tie is won or lost by the leaders. If
men of genuine and unselfish inter
est have been chosen-eff1cient and
earnest Hibernians-the Division is
fortunate. for it will then grow and
prosper. In ninety mine cases in a
hundred where Divisions fail to make
progress the cause can be plainly
traced to the inefficiency or lack of
interest of the Division officers. There
are some types which will stand the
test of character. There are other
types which are useful for every pur
pose except the purposes of the Or
der This type is somewhat familiar
or has been familiar in the past.
They shine like human sunbursts on
every occasion except when there is
unostentatious work to be done for the
Order.
Upon the Division officers should
be placed full responsibility for the
conduct Of all Division business. If
an officer be not willing to carry the
responsibility, the Division is not
Obliged to indefinitely carry the
burden of his inefficiency. If an Of
ficer be not interested in the work
of the Division he is surely unworthy
to cucumber the Office. There are
an abundance of capable men in our
Order, and the direction Of Divisions
ought to be in the strongest hands.

Such resolution will clear many

A man or a Division in debt is work
ing with tied hands. There is too
much work to do in America for us to
approach the task handicapped with
any burden.

U. S. FOOD PRICES IN 1914 HIGH
EST IN MANY YEARS.

Food prices in the United States
during 1914 were higher than at any
time during the last 81 years, with
the exception of the year 1882, when
they were per cent higher than
1914 prices; 1888 when they were on
the same level, and in 1912, when they
were 1 per cent higher. The bureau
of labor statistics in its annual bulle-
tin, just issued, on wholesale prices
of commodities reviewing the years
from 1860 to 1914, discloses that in
the fifty-five years food prices were
highest in 1864, when they were 76
per cent more than 1914 prices, and
lowest in 1896, when they were 40
per cent below.

Tobacco In Ireland.

Irish tobacco and Irish cigars and
cigarettes are bought in Dublin with
patriotic pride and smoked with en-.
joyment, and it may be only a matter
of time when Irish cigarettes will be
known the smoking world over. The
raising Of tobacco in Ireland is
one of the new Industries which are
being undertaken, and the quality is
pronounced good.

Irish COLLEGE Grows.

The Irish College in Rome expects
larger body of students this year
than last. The once fourishing
French college has been almost wholly
sacrificed on the battlefields of
France. What France will do for
priests in the next generation is a
problem her Bishops are thinking
about.

sive. The only qualification neces-
sary is a desire to be just human and
of some assistance to our fellow
men. We do not publish the names
of the members nor the names of
the applicants for assistance.
I'VE have up to date relieved 81
III persons. provided 267 with posi-
tons, helped "a ex-convicts and Is
ENTHUSIASTICALLY all victims of q
faulty economic environment.
Gradually the territory of relief
has been extended. 1t now includes
5Oth to Tooth and 25th st, from
Eighth av., to the river, west.
I'VE provide food, clothes and
medicine first and then investigate.
I'VE wish TO inform everyone that
we do not care TO receive old clothes.
Whatever clothes the members
choose to give to the needy is a mat
ter for them to decide, but we do
not believe i'm distributing discard.
ed clothes. 1t does not help the un-
fortunate TO regain or keep his self
respect.
I'VE again ask our members not
to send us cases outside Of this dis
trict as we cannot handle them. A
good many write notes and ask us to
take some cases as personal favors.
We are not doing this work as a
favor 10 anyone; we are doing it as
a selfish pleasure 10 ourselves.
But if we attempt to help the
needy of the entire city. before we
are able to cope with such a large
army, we could find ourselves with
out the time to do real work and
we prefer to stick to one territory
and do the work there effectively.
I'VE can now make the statement
that we have relieved every appli-
cant in our district and that no one
need be in want in that territory.
IF a member feels able and re-
quests it, we send him an unfortu-
nate to care for. and he provides
whatever is necessary. IN case the
, burden becomes heavy some other
I good soul takes up the work.
IF, however. a person is kindly
/ inclined but has not the time 10
! personally look after the unfortu-
nate some other member does the
work, and the bills for merchandise

The land which gave birth to
Tolstoi possesses an atmosphere
which seems to breed genius. on
every hand we hear 1t, see it, and
find it in our midst. A young Rus
sian boy is now attracting the atten-
ton of the musical world with his
marvellous achievements at the age
of 10, and he is but one of many
whose genius is expressed through
the medium of music.
Misha Applebaum. the founder
and leader of the Humanitarian
Cult, is a young Russian, whose head
above his ears looks like the busts
of Shakespeare. and whose wonder
full mentality has turned in the di-
rection OF humanitarianism.
Born in Russia in comparative
wealth, sudden reverses left this
young man when a youth dependent
upon his own resources. In four
years he passed through many posi-
tions. These experiences Were in
America, whittier the young man
had come TO seek his fortune
ON the 9Th of November. 1914, Mr..
ApplebaUm went to the owner Of e
motion picture theater and had a
talk with him. After he had finish
ed he gave the young man the free
use Of his house. Mr.. Applebaum
printed circulars and announced a
meeting for Sunday morning. and
invited 40 Of his friends. Owing TO
rain at the hour of the meeting. 20
strangers were prevailed upon TO
seek. shelter in the building, and TO
the surprise and delight OF Mr.. APP
plebaum. every one ended by Joining
his band.
Referring to this meeting, he says:
ct has always been a question in'my
mind whether it was I who spoke
thai day or the spirit of the sweet
fragrance Of my mothers memory"
The object. Of the Humanitarian
Cult. which vas started on that
rainy November morning, is 10 de-
velop between individuals a proper
sense of responsibility. to develop a
spirit of helping mankind from "a
sense Of duty.
IL is against the system OF capital
that creates poverty and then. under
the cloak OF philanthropy. tries "a
keep its victim from actually starv-
ing.
The cult which was founded or
Nov. 10. 1914, now has a total mem
bership OF $4,000.
The object OF the Cult is 10 up
lift ourselves. 50 that we may create
an environment that viii permit
every one 10 rise 20 our then uplift-
ed level.
The Humanitarian Cult has no de-
sire to establish any new religion
nor is IL interested in the form OF
religion its members practice. II
recognizes only one Ever,
mans" The spirit Of kindness and
love" and consequently is non-sec-
tartan.
It has no officers. and its members

that no money be sent TO Us. as we dc
