IRISH FREEDOM DISCUSSED

Mention of freedom for Ireland in several addresses at the dinner evoked stormy applause from the audience.

"Eyerywoman" "-Jefferson

Seat sale opens tomorrow for the elao- crate musical spectacle, "Everywoman, at the Jefferson theatre, under the man. agement of Henry w. Savage. The play will run Tuesday and Wednesday, with matinee Wednesday, next week.
 Music lovers have in this play an equal chance with Broadway theatregoers to absorb the main ideas and details of the plays which have made the name Henry W. Savage" famous across the conti- nent The show has the same cast, chorus and scenery that it had while run ming in New York.
 This idea of Henry w. Savage is some thing novel in the theatrical world, for it is seldom indeed that one has the op- portunity to see such play as Every woman" exhibited with the same all-star cast which played in the leading thea tres of America.
 The play is really composed of three separate organizations, the dramatic company, of 37 speaking characters; the grand opera contingent, with soloists and chorus, and a musical comedy company. There are tons of scenery and effect ma- chines,'' and many new and original cos tunes. The symphony orchestra, render ing a special score, was composed by George Whitefield Chadwick, dean of New England Conservatory of Music.

cheering and had to wait until he could conclude-"Ireland hopes that justice may be done"
 Bishop Shahan, rector of the univer- sty, who presided at the dinner, broached the subject again by urging all bishops who could to attend the in Philadelphia Saturday. He also was interrupted by cheering.
 AS an expression of our national ideals. Bishop Shahan said. 'I think we should do all we could to assert the is not shire of England, but an ancient kingdom. which held it's place in the world with honor."
 The address of Archbishop Cerretti and the reply of Cardinal Gibbons were for the most part in praise for the work of papacy during the war. the statement of the papal delegate being in effect a defense direct from Rome against criticism which he said had been made of the pope's attitude in the war.
 Tn every mind that is free from prejudice and passion,'' the archbishop said. the attitude of the holy see throughout this conflict must inspire admiration. For it is evident that the vicar of Christ, as father of all the faithful, must cherish them all with the same paternal love. In his heart there can be no place for preferment or partiality. Hence it is that his ef- forts to mitigate the horrors of war were constantly directed towards the welfare of all

SHOWED NO PARTIALITY

Even when he had to condemn ex- cess or cruelty or violation of the laws that should prevail in civilized warfare, he showed no partiality. That in particular cases the pope did not pronounce explicit condemnation, is quite intelligible, when we consider that in some instances he had no evil dence on which to base his judgment. while in others the particular wrong had already been included in his gen. eral condemnation
 But what proves beyond question the impartiality of the holy see is the fact that only too often one and the same action of the pontif aroused protests from both sides, Each denounced it as mark of favoritism and substantiol sup port accorded to it's opponent
 The American people, I am sure. with their traditional love of fairness. will see the facts as they are and judge them correctly
 Cardinal Gibbons declared the pope had been unjustly criticized and recounted the pontiff's protests against German outrages in France and Belgium and his work in behalf of prisoners of war
 The difficulties of the papacy likewise were touched on by Archbishop Munde- lein of Chicago, who preached the ser mon at the pontifical high mass He said he trusted that the United States never would forget the services of the Roman Catholic church at the declaration of war, when it's ''well-knit, disciplined or ganization,'' under the patriotic leader ship of Cardinal Gibbons, was used to solidify the great foreign population in support of American principles.
 Personal tributes to the cardinal were touched with a great sincerity. Bishop Shane was in tears when he told of the cardinals goodness to the Catholic uni- versity, his gifts this year alone total ing $95,000. of which s500O0 was the jubi- lee gift from the diocese of Baltimore. Cardinal Begin paid a tribute from the ancient see of Quebec Cardinal OCon- nell declared his confrere was living bond between the vanishing pioneer and the working out of his glorious dream in the wonderful reality of today" and Archbishop Mundelein said his eminences s epitaph should be simply ITO God and Country, because his life work had been devoted to both.
 %Friends of Cardinal Gibbons said he never looked better. He sang the mass in clear, resonant voice, his step was elastic and happy smile and twinkling eye lighted his face throughout the day.

Buying Coal Now.

It is desperately hard work centering at
tention at this time of the year the coal
question. and yet it is growing more and more
obvious that something should be done about
it. DR.. Garfield, Secretary Wilson, Roger Bah
son of the information and education service
and great many others proclaim a fuel short
age next winter as inevitable unless there are
immediate heavy purchases so that production
can be increased at least 30 7er cent during
the rest OF this year
F. s. Peabody, chairman Of a special COM
mittee named by the National Coal associa-
ton to deal with the shortage, estimates that
the closing of mines during the first "a weeks
of this year had reduced production IS, OO0. 900
tons below what it should have been. He says
there already is a labor shortage in the coal
business and that car shortage is in prospect
in the fall and winter.
Not everybody will believe that there is any
serious danger but the other hand nobody
hopes for lower prices so it would Seem the
part of wisdom to buy now for the winters
needs.

Morbid Fears.


There still is much of scrapping,
of believing and noise, of biting
and of shaping, of losing sense and
poise, of tommyrot and treason, of
chickering's and tears; but that's no
valid reason to quake with morbid
fears. There still are agitations
that claim our watchful care; and
many foolish nations are way up
in the air; it isn't all smooth sail
ing; the world still swarms with
bats; but there's no use of wall
ing like nine Kilkenny cats. The
moral lid gets leaky once every
little while: we still have bolshe-
Wiki and other critters vile; there's
knocking and there's drowning. and
there are griefs and woes; but
that's no cause for drowning in
juice de lachrymose. Some lands
are still turmoiling and bowling at
their fate; and there are cauidrons
boiling that brew the broth of
hate: the dawn is slow in break
ing; we're not yet through the
night: but there's no call for shak-
ing in senseless dread and fright.
The drought may get our billies, the
world may all go dry; the thirsty
Weary Willies may lose their rock
and rye; the bloats may miss the
bullying of divers gins and beers
but there's no sense INDUCING in
the dark and morbid fears.

In the Days News

Governor Sidney j. Cats an
nouncement that he will be can
didate for the senatorial toga now
worn by the veteran Duncan U.
Fletcher, means that an exciting
primary campaign is in prospect in
Florida. For the governor has \es-
tablished a reputation as a hard
fighter, a reputation that extends
back to the days when he was a
country Baptist minister fighting to
extract dollars from his cOngrega-
ton for the advancement OF the
work of the church. Governor
Cats is an ALBANIAN who attended
Howard college and the Alabama
Polytechnic institute aid studied
law for a spell, before he entered
the Baptist ministry in 1884. Prior
to taking up his residen in Flor
ida he filled several long pastorates
in Alabama and incidentally was an
unsuccessful candidate for congress
in that state. After going to Flor
ida he continued his interest in pol
itics and in 1916 won the guberna-
torial nomination and election in
one of the stormiest political fights
in the states history.
