also accepted the invitation rendered
by Supervisor Hogan, to off1ciate at
the great X. c. indoor athletic meet to
be held in the 22nd Regiment Armory

that they were genuinely devoted tc
the cause of liberty, and that they
would never become participators in
any imperial combine intended to
crush liberty.
I'VE knew in particular of your sym

1T Is an economical and political
one, pure and simple, and I would be-

any people from the human liberty
and freedom that Is rightfully theirs.
1t is contrary to Gods law of human

Il have studied closely the new con.

In conclusion, Senator Norris said
that no man, Protestant or Catholic,
could read the history of Ireland
without weeping. "She may be SUBJ

jected, and she may be sabjugated, but
Ireland will never be conquered"
Resolutions calling on President
Wilson to recognize the Irish Repub-

INFORMATION GIVEN ABOUT
MEMBERS OF PoPE's CABINET.

One OF the most august bodies in
the world is the College Of Cardinals.
1t is, in fact, the Holy Fathers cab
met. All members Of this important
organization are conspicuous for
learning, diplomacy, or some particu-
lar attainment which qualities them
for this important office. The various
congregations which transact business
with all parts of the Catholic world
are under the direction and personal
supervision of a cardinal. Occasion
ally number of cardinals are con-
nected with important tribunals.
It is interesting and at the same
time instructive to note the age, ma
tionality and history Of these men. At
present there are sixty-three members
in the college. In all, the college con-
tains seventy members, but It is only
at rare intervals that there is not a
vacancy. At present, out of the sixty
three members, thirty-two are Italians
and thirty-one are from other coun-
tries. Cardinal Gibbons is the second
oldest member of the cardinals, and is
the only bishop surviving who was a
member Of the Vatican council.
It is one of the facts which should
not be ignored that the conservative
and careful policy so characteristic of
all the business dealings of the Holy
See is partly due to the conservatism
and ripe experience of these men. On
the other hand, 1t cannot be denied
that at times men of such advanced

canon de Valera, president of the
republic of Ireland, came to Chicago
at $3.50 Saturday night and left Chi

the 35 hours of his stay there was
crowded one of the greatest tributes
ever paid a cause and a man by the
people of this city, says the New

"The tribute paid to the republic of
Ireland last night is a convincing
proof to me that the cause of the Irish
people has gained beyond all expecta-
ton since my first visit here last July.
And by that token must conclude
that the cause of Ireland has so gained
through the entire nation that the
people of America are ready and will

of America recognize the republican

are so familiar with in the example Of

Our Catholic papers are performing

come when our press like our national

not and never can be the commercial

work 10 never, and can never be apart
from that of the church, and the ad.

So far our Catholic papers have been

They have been even az scouts in any
