IRELAND's RosARiEs.
written for The Catholic Bulletin by
Dr.. James Henderson,

Soft as feet of down go Ireland's ros.
aries,
Up heavens stairs ascending,
There ever in their sweet intonement
A soft murmur never ending;
In lonely wales and on mountain top,
Beside wild glens, morasses,
And bog and fen, o they ever climb,
And their sweetness never passes.
By the dead. lone bog the murmuring
tongues,
Sad eyes to heaven peering,
That Erin's cloud may forever pass
And Erin's. skies be clearing,
Till each bead is prest, each cross is
kist,
And lips and fingers wear them
Smooth as the trodden rounds
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1919-05-03

We know that God shall hear them.
Sweet as the Irish rills that flow
To break in spray far yonder
Those prayers; these beads unceasing
sung,
And no tongues can say them fond
Than Irish tongues; and if Irish hearts
Can storm the gates of heaven,
o we know St. Peter shall yield the
key
And an answer shall be given.
Murmuring rills hold no sadder plant
Nor the rune Of her rivers flowing
More sweet intent, on their onward
way
Than the silvery rosaries going;.. s..
The hroguish tongue or the childish
tongue 5@. ,''@ .2.
Or that of the weak and olden,
The strong men of God, as they up
ward flow @rs.-
To heaven in rivers golden. -, ~. =
Kiss your rosaries, kiss your rosaries
And join in the dear, weel pleading
Where the mystic thread leads far
above
From the heart Of Ireland bleeding,
That God will soften the hearts so
hard,
Sf1ards from bruised feet be taken,
Till they walk soft paths where roses
lie,
That earth may to justice weaken.

PRACTICE OF sELF-lDoLATRY.

When we used to read ancient his
tory we could hardly account for the
fact that such wise and eminent men
as those whose masterpieces we were
admiring could be addicted to idola-
try, even though only for the time be-
ing. Cicero, indeed, no longer heliev-
ed in idols, inasmuch as he raised the
question how it was possible in ancient
Rome that two pagan priests or sooth-
sayers could look into each others
faces without laughing.

perform in heaven. Many an old man,
whose hair has become bleached by
the many years, with pleasure speaks
of the moments he spent as g good
little boy, serving at the altar. Boys.
Practice now such things, which will
be happy recollections to you when
you become old and gray.

LIBERTY BUILDINGS
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE.

'tWhen the war is over and the
boys come home every community
will feel like doing something to per-
petuate the memory of their par
ticipation in the most stupendous en-
terprise in history. Unless some
thing is done to prevent it there will
probably be an extensive building of
monuments of stone and bronze such
as now adorn the public squares of SO
many towns as memorials to the sol
diers and sailors of the Civil War.
"The sentiment which built these
monuments is commendable. It was
the effort of community to do honor
to its heroes. The judgment, how
ever, that was displayed IN selecting
this form of commemoration is oper
to criticism.
Monuments to great men anG
edifices to commemorate great oc
casions are as old as civilization
Even our graveyards at present are
full Of elaborate tombs. But thinking
people have often doubted whether
a mass Of useless display is the bes
form in doing honor to useful life
Common sense would indicat.
that the most fitting way to do HON
age to the dead is to construct some
thing that shall serve the living.
The American City, magazine
devoted to civic ideas, now comes
forward with the suggestion thai
after the war each town shall cree

The shooting and suicide of Fri
day has given the he and she Cos
sipers a choice morsel to roll about
their tongues and the character of
the unfortunate woman has been
dragged about in the mud the past
week. 1t is passing strange that a
man can get away with stuff that at
once brands woman as the lowest
Of the low. The police court blot
ter of a few years ago showed up the
husband in no sanity manner and the
mere fact that the woman was the
mother of eight children should be
a redeeming trait that should at once
make her martyr. keep your
mouth shut" is homely but trite
saying that will apply in all cases.
How many of you who have been
playing shuttlecock and battledor
with the reputation of this mother,
can stand the light of publicity?
The gossips, be it he or she, is
an abomination which should be am
putated from the terrestrial sphere in
stanter. The gossip is destroyer
of regulations, homes and families,
A life that has taken years in climb
ing to the top is torn down and
trampled in the mud in few min
utes by the tongue of gossip and
scandal. Man and woman builds ur
but the gossip tears DOWN. Some OF
this brand infest every town and
their sole ambition seems to be to
drag those above them down to the
level they themseles occupy and
with "they tell me" and 81 hear
wriggle about like a snake in the
slime and filth they with their gossip
I, have created. ''Let them without
sin cast the first: stone" spoke the
Ilowly Nazarene. The. same apple:

and similar structures in the camps
and environments. Soldiers speak
gratefully of the light and cheer that
they have received in these huts.
They will carry this memory forever.
Why not put this memory into brick
and mortar?
"This war has speeded human
progress in many ways. Why should
it not mark our progress also in
tomb building? Would not mem
orial building in every community,
constantly used by the living, be a
more practical and even more beau
tifully sentimental object than a
pile of stone or bronze?
Anyway, the erection of statues
and shafts and mausoleums belong
to the era of kings. The appropriate
monument for a democracy is a
warm and useful structure that shall
be an integral part of the peoples
life.
"Mr. Howard Strong, Secretary of
the Minneapolis Civic Association,
says: "The war is not being fought
for material victory alone. That
victory is but the means to an end.
The war will be worth while only as
the way we utilize our victory shall
serve the ends of real democracy.
know of no better medium for the
working out of common fellowship
than the community center which the
American City suggests"
SIT is sincerely to be hoped that
this idea will receive the enthusiastic
support of the towns and cities of the
United States. This is, or ought to
be, as President Wilson says, "The
birth of new day" and the manner
in which we show it forth IN our arch
itecture should signify something -
its meaning that hereafter the ener-
gies of government as we'll as of
science art and religion are to be
devoted to giving the struggling
mass of men and women a better
chance"

The biennial game of Getting
Something for Nothing" was begun
in the legislature Immediately after
the senators and representatives took
their seats when the tonnage tax
bills on iron ore were introduced.
The Non-P Partisan members are given
the credit for the bills and at once
and early in the game show their
hand. The same bunch is also said
to be opposed to the good roads pro-
gram, in fact they are opposed to
everything anybody else wants.

LEGISLATIVE LETTER
BY z. W. HITCHCOCK.
Representative Goth District.

Wednesday at eleven o'clock Cover
nor Burnquist delivered his inaug-
ural address before joint session of
the senate and the house in the house
chamber. Promptly at noon the
legislature adjourned out of respect
to the memory of Theodore Roose-
welt. ~
Committee Assignments.
Committee assignments in the
house are not worrying the members
as much this year as usual. Most of
them know-or think they know
what they are going to get. They
have worn the carpet on the halls
of the second floor of the st. Francis
Hotel threadbare in their pilgrimage
to room 100 where for the past month
Speaker Nolan has sat enthroned on
a hard bottomed chair working out
the organization of the house.
The road committee, which will be
known as highways" this session,
has given Mr.. Nolan his biggest
bunch of grief. In all 70 of the 131
house members asked to be placed
on this committee of 81. Oscar
Swenson of Nicolett will probably be
chairman of the committee which will
have the big task of properly franz
ing comprehensive highway law
that will enable Minnesota to acquire
from 1000 to 5000 miles of hard
paved roads within the next six
years.
The Rules committee, really the
steering" committee of the house,
was appointed Tuesday. w. /. Nor
ton of Minneapolis is its Chairman
and Charles T. Murphy of Aurora is
a member.
Theodore Christensen of Lac qui
Parle county will be chairman of the
most important committee of the
house, the appropriations committee.
Nonpartisan Gossip.
Labor, which lined UP with the
Nonpartisan organization at the
election in November, quit the
League in the organization of the
house. Every labor representative
voted for Nolan for Speaker. A
good many of the Nonpartisan men,
bers did not want to put up can
didate for Speaker, but rumor has it
that A. C. Townley stood out for
presenting solid Nonpartisan
front. The big boss had his way and
the League members voted solidly
for Urness who thus becomes the floor
leader of the League in the house
with total following of % members.
Patronage.
The eighth district members had
no fight over patronage. Nobody
up our way seemed to want an Office
in the legislature, and it looked for
a time as If the district would have
to hand the Office assigned to it, the
second assistant clerk, over to some
other district to fill. At the eleventh
hour, M. E. Altman, bright, clean
looking young fellow from Duluth,
applied for the position and got it
without struggle.
Oscar Arenson, formerly of CHS
holm, was elected Chief Clerk, re-
ceiving 100 votes. All other house
officers were also elected unanimous
ly.

tail placed w. /. Nolan of Minneap-
oils in nomination for Speaker.
Holmquist of Kittson, Berve of Mar
shall and Enstrom of Roseau nom-
mated the Nonpartisan candidate,
John A. Urness of Douglass. The
Nonpartisans, % in number, voted
solidly for Urness, and Nolan re-
received los votes.
Nolan Stirs the House.
Speaker Nolan electrified the
House in hissshort speech of accept
ance when he declared that 1.-THE
government of America is the best
government on earth. If there be
any who think they can improve that
government by sedition and anarchy
that shall have our swift God Speed
to those countries where the kind of
government they want now prevails.
The members leaped to their feet and
Speaker was also roundly applauded
cheered for several minutes. The
