ENGLISH AUTHOR WRITING IN
1906 FoRETELLs GROWTH OF
SlNN FEM MOVEMENT.

Sidney Brooks. an English writer of
some distinction, writing in the Daily
Mail in December, 1906. of the Sim
Fein movement, says: ireland is be.
coming Irish. A movement
is on foot broader grander than any
she has ever known. 1t is movement
of national resurrection, of national
self-realization and self-dependence.
In Hungary, Bohemia. Finland and
Poland we have applauded and SYM
pathiZed with similar movements in
the past. In Ireland, whether we ap.
plaud or not, we may at least try to
understand"
The Larkin-C Connolly element which
has always, like the continental So
cialist parties. been the revolutionary
factor in Dublin is less we'll known
to me, says Katherine Hughes in the
Catholic Record. But am morally GER
tain that If any live Canadian were
condemned to live the horrors of a
Dublin slum he would have spirit
enough to follow Larkin, or any man
who came along with an offer of SYM
pathy and promise of extrication from
the muddy hell of such an existence.
Up to the outbreak of the Euro
pean war no Sim Fein in good
standing was an advocate of physical
force. The reversion to insurrection
methods is due to the failure to have
a satisfactory Home Rule bill put in
operation in 1914 - to the general
stimulus of warlike feeling the world
over-to the persistent recruiting for
| soldiers in a country which has al
ready so many soldiers at the front,
and which in itself was so bled by
the famine and emigration to escape
poverty that in seventy years Ireland
alone of all the civilized nations has
seen her population fall from 10000
900 to 100000; this the Sim Feins
called the economic conscription of
Ireland" which had already drained
her of the young and fit and men Of
military age-and of men and women
of an age to repopulate their coun.
try.
They were men in every walk of
life, intensely national in sentiment.
Their leaders were young men Of
wide education and usually the mas
tiers of three or four languages and
literatures. From my own observa-
ton of their unselfish devotion and
singleness of aim, I fully agree with
the Chicago writer who stated: THE
party has been led by group of high
spirited young men Of remarkably
keen intellectual powers who in any
country more happily placed would
be the leaders of progressive consti.

life as the priest; she seems trans
figured by the light and hope and
love of the hour in which the d.
vinity OF the great High Priest
streams upon her in crucial glory.
The memory OF such an hour
should be for the priest an inspir-
alton to new efforts for God and
His Church, as the hour itself was
the roseate morning Of an eternal
summer.

Minneapolis is soon to be hon
ored with the presence of dele
gates to the convention of the
American Federation of Patriotic
Societies which will meet at the
Masonic Temple on July 22d to
24th. Reports regarding the con-
vention are somewhat vague but
it is rumored that the patriots
are working zealously and that a
great gathering of the faithful is
expected to be present. Mime
apolis has been chosen as the con-
vention city, because those in au-
thority believe that this city is the
most fruitful field in the entire
country to carry on their work.
In other words, there is supposed
to reside within the corporate linn
its of this town, more patriots"
than in any like number of square
miles in America. In order to live
up to its name, the American Fed

According to correspondent
who has been connected with the
Associated Press and who con-
fesses to have written great
many tales of heroic deeds per-
formed, but which in reality oc-
Cured only in his own fruitful
brain, there is no reliable war
news. This gentleman is author
ity for the statement that most
of the fighting is being done by
"shirt-sleeve correspondents" and
that events have been recorded
and interpreted by men in the Of
fees of the various newspaper
syndicates, who are hundreds of
miles from the scene of action and
who wouldn't know Calling gun
from German Zeppelin. In his
interesting article he makes the
further assertion that this war is
and has been largely a war of fake
stories and transformation. By
reason of her control of the cable,
England has virtually become the
Editor-in-Chief of all the belliger-
ents. She not only edits her own
copy, but the copy of her enemies,
and when the occasion demands
it, the copy OF her allies. The
correspondent further adds:
have seen many cablegrams
from our Berlin correspondent,
going also into the enemy's hands,
that had been so scissored as to
resemble Mexican drawn-work.
Edited to taste, these cablegrams
are stamped "Passed for publica-
tion," and may be forwarded to
America, provided they reach the
cable Office with no alterations
whatsoever. There is censor on
duty at the cable office to see that
there are no interlineations on
passed matter.
The night of the first great Yep
pelin raid the writer watched the
huge air ship with professional
anguish that burns within me
yet" but there was no hope of
forwarding any copy. An official
version was given for transmits
sion containing just fifty words.
Yet "here was the biggest thing
that happened to London since
the start of the war" From such
sources Americans are forced to
gather their impressions of the
great European conflict.-Ex-

The Priests Mother.

In this season, when so many
young men are ordained. a letter
Of a priests mother in the Mes
senger OF the Sacred Heart" is of
interest, says an Exchange. The
letter is descriptive of the writer's
emotions at her sons ordination
and first Mass. Talk of eloquence
that voices the depths of ones
soul! The mothers mind. in its
glistening picty. is hoated forth on
tears of grateful love. Truth, in
timately felt, overpowers the read
er OF the fervcnt periods. stamped
with exquisite humanity as they
are with thoughts that faith alone
can yield. Here is a passage that
should inspire any mother to give
her beloved to the altar:
1T was to you | wrote twenty
five years ago when the child was
given me. | recall it | was fool
lsh with joy; stretched out my
hands towards him: | touched
him as he lay in his cradle as if
to assure him that | really poss-
essed him.
"Ah, what a distance between
the joys of then and those of to-
day which lift up my soul and fill
it with sentiments it has never
known before! Today, am the
mother OF priest!'
Could anything surpass the
unique and ecstatic character Of
the words in which the dear de-
voted mother portrays her feel
ings as she is about to receive
Holy Communion at her child's
first Mass
my poor boy, a sob has es-
capped him; he takes the holy
ciborium; he has come to me; nv
son brings me my God. What a
moment! What union! My
God, His priest, and l."
Such dashes of rare feeling and
unique thought would be worthy
of a St. Bernard. Lacordaire's
sweeping periods are in contrast
to these of this entranced mother
AS moonlight unto sunlight,
As water unto wine"
The mother begins as new a

Bishop Busch, OF the diocese of
St. Cloud, has commenced the
publication of MY Message,
which is to be his official organ.
He has called the attention OF
the clergy to the fact that it is the
duty of all Catholics to support
the Catholic press and that it is
a matter of conscience for people
to subscribe to some Catholic
periodical and thus render their
support to the cause of Catholic

cAvAN COUNTY BOARD
PROTESTS AGAINST
PARTITION OF ULSTER

At meeting of the Cavan Guar
dams resolution was passed protest
ing against the partition of Ulster
Resolution and discussion were as fol.
lows:
THAT we, the Cavan Board of
Guardians and Rural District Council,
most emphatically protest against the
proposed settlement of the Irish ques-
ton by the exclusion of any portion
of Ulster from the operation of the
Home Rule Act"
Mr.. Mclaughlin have much pleas
ure in proposing the adoption of that
resolution, and that copy of it be
sent to 1.-The member for Ireland" Mr..
Laurence Ginnell, the only representa-
tive Ireland has in the British House
of Commons.
MIR. P. Fitzgerald seconded the
adoption of the resolution. Chairman
SO far as can see there is not a
single independent man in favor of
exclusion.
Mr. Tayior-Let all pull together.
Mr.. McIoughln-We don't want few
in Belfast to rule all Ireland.
Chairman don't see why the Irish
Party should have takeE upon them
selves to put these proposals before
the country; they should have rejected
them at once.
MIR. McLoughlin-If they tried a few
townlands they would soon find out
the feeling of the country. Chairman
From the action of the Irish Party
in recent years l would not be sur
prised at ANYTHING they would do, but
this is great betrayal. 1t is time
people opened their eyes; that they
would begin to think for themselves.
MIR. McLoughlin-They will need to
rely on themselves.
A new version of America" said by
many who have read it to be superior
to the original has been written by
a nun of the Carmelite Order. The
author is Mother Superior of west
ern convent and wrote the poem on
the occasion of a recent Fourth of
July celebration held in her home city.
The new version is as follows:
Columbia, land of peace
My heart shall never cease
To beat for thee.
o peerless, whitest dove
Lead all to light above
And thus unite the love
OF bond and free.
The cry I'm God we trust
Shall lift us from the dust
To mountain height
And lead us on to dwell
In Heavenly citadel
Where Angels voices swell
In songs of light.
United shall we stand
In that victorious land,
Ger cruel foe.
The vision fair to see
In endless Liberty
While lost in ecstacy
Our God we know
There may we all as one,
With Father and with Son
And Spirit Dove,
Fer bless the hand that led
Us to this land to tread
The sacred heights that wed
Us to Thy Love.
