IN UNION THERE
Is STRENGTH

The people last November electe
215 Republicans and 215 Democrats
to the House of Representatives. They
also chose five Representatives under
independent classification. Between
that day and the day the House was
organized, one Republican and one
Democrat had died.
The day that Congress organized
there were three Republican Repre-
s~entatives absent, for sickness and
other sufficient reasons. one of whom
has since died. This reduced the to-
tai possible Republican strength co
211.
Upon the vote for Speaker only 205
members gave their support to Mr..
Mann of Illinois, the nominee of the
Republican caucus; two members
voted present; two each voted for
Mr.. Lenroot of Wisconsin and Mr..
Gillett of Massachusetts.
The 205 who stood by the nominee
of their caucus merit the thanks and
praise of all militant Republicans
everywhere. They did much to dem
onstrate that the great mass of Re
publicans whom they represent are
mindful of the party's cause and
mindful that the party cannot exist
and retain public confidence without
solidarity. If Republicanism is to
consist only of a disassociated group
of ambitious individuals, Republican
ism cannot expect to succeed. But ii
Republicanism is to embody a disci
plined force of political co-thinkers,
wherein a majority - fairly secured
and freely expressive of itself is t.
settle mooted questions, then the 205
who voted for Mr.. Mann have given
a pledge for the future of Republican
ism in this Congress and in the next
campaign which will encourage the
party to elect, not 215, but $50 mem
bers of Congress in 1918.

By Mayor Eckert
Mayor Warmly Commended for His
Action in censoring "a Committee
of Patriotic oraanization."

Mayor Frank H. Eckert of West
Hoboken, N. j., has been warmly com.
mended for his action in teaching a
much needed lesson to a number of
people representing themselves as "a
committee of patriotic organiza-
tion," which wished to protest against
the appointment by the mayor of Rev.
Conrad Eiben, c. p, as a member
of the West Hoboken Free Library
Board. The objection was made solely
on the ground of Father Conrad's re-
l1gion and Mr.. Eckert curtly informed
the patriots" that such grounds have
no bearing with me, as Catholic or
person of any other religion is the
same to me if his other qualifications
are equal. If there was any doubt in
my mind regarding the appointment of
Father Conrad, it has now been done
away with because of these OBJ
jections on religious grounds. 1t
is not because of his religion that
Father Conrad will be appointed to
the board, but because of his ability
to conduct the affairs that come be-
fore that body. l will certainly insist
now that he take the appointment"

Irish Literary
Clubs Meeting
a Big Success
A Good Attendance Witnessed spir-

lands M. p. Gathering Was the
Most Enthusiastic Gathering Ever
Held.

The meeting of the Irish Literary
Club held last Monday evening, with
Division /, Ladies' Auxiliary, proved
to be a great success, not only from
the standpoint of the large attend
ance, but more especially from the lit
erary view, as the papers read by the
debaters were excellent and educa-
tive ,and showed genuiness of sinceri-
ty. Mr.. Redmond's ability was ex-
tolled by Mesdames Gage and Dickin-
son, while the negative was taken by
Mesdames Jordan and Webster, who
in turn frizzed Redmond's reputation
for loyalty to FRAGILE. Mrs. Turner
also made few remarks derogatory
to the famous M. P.'s patriotism. The
debate was fraught with all the COM
mending excellence of words and
speech. No decision was rendered by
the audience, as the work of both
sides was pointive and true.
At the conclusion of the debate Mr..
Nolan and Joseph L. Murphy, of The
Irish Standard and Rev. Father o.
Brien made short speeches and were
received with enthusiasm by their
auditors. Mrs. Mary DAILY, in her
usual excellent manner opened the
meeting with few remarks appro.
pirate to the occasion.
After the speeches a short musical
program was given, consisting of
vocal solo by Miss McGrath; song by

The churches of the United States
have not suffered financially from the
European war and the increased cost
of living, nor has their ordinary rate
of growth been reduced during the last
year. They have given freely to the
millions of dollars sent to the war suf-
ferers and yet maintained their own
regular work with undiminishd force.
The 1917 edition of the Year Book
of the Federal Council of the Churches
of Christ in America has just been
issued and the figures show sub.
stantial gain for the Catholic church
in America. The Year Book is edited
by DR.. H. K. Carroll and published
under Protestant auspices. This book
shows that in 1916 the Catholics, Pro-
testants and orthodox religious bodies
had an aggregate of 40,O17,OOO com.
municants or members. The net in.
crease for 1916 was 747,00O, or 2O4, 900
more than the increase in 1915. In
1890 the total religious strength was
20,61S,000, so that in twenty-six years
the net increase was 1898, 900, or "a
per cent. In the same time the gain
in population in this country has been
39,000,00O, or 81 per cent.
DR.. Carroll's figures credit the
Catholic church with gain in this
country for 1916 of 216,OOO, while the
next largest gain is credited to the
Methodist church with an increase of
1876 900. The Baptists ara given 1S2.-
600, the Presbyterians $4,000, the
Episcopalians $4,000 and the Lutheran
bodies 10000. The total gain in
churches of Catholics and Protestants
combined was III, yet the Catholic
churches increased in number 1879, the
Methodist Episcopal showing loss of
68, the Northern Baptists loss of 33,
the Northern Presbyterians loss of
81 and the Episcopalians z. DR.. Car
roll states that churches, particularly
in the rural regions, are being closed
or merged for the sake of economy
and efficiency.
The gain in ministers, according to
the Year Book figures, is 2,643, which
is nearly double that of 1915. The
