port of the American commission in
vestigating conditions in Ireland states
that the Belfast Unionists are the
wealthy manufacturers and group of
workers dependent on the manufac-
turers who arouse religious prejudices
to create division among the workers.
In 1914 these Unionists workers sign
ed the Covenant against Home Rule
at the dictation of Sir Edward Car
son who said, EFF the English people
throw us over we will enroll ourselves
under the greatest Protestant nation
in the world, under the German ma
tom; and they SO loved the Union
that they armed themselves with Ger
man guns to fight the British Empire.
In 1918 the same group voted for the
Union, and in 1921 they are voting for
Home Rule at the dictates Of their
English leaders. They are consistent
only in their religious prejudices
aroused by their employers for politi-
Cal purposes.

On Saturday evening, June 4, the
students of Saint Clara College pre-
scented a pageant commemorative of
Dante's sexcentenary, which was a
fitting tribute to the great Italian
poet.
The first part consisted Of scenes
from Dante's life. The picturesque
play of the Florentine children and
the charming dances which wer. part
Of the gay life of Florence, and which
were so attractively reproduced on
the moonlit campus made this pageant
one OF the loveliest dramatic pro
auctions ever given at Saint Clara.
The second part presented pictures
from The Divine Comedy. The plan
of this greatest of Christian poems
was adequately suggested by scenes
from the Inferno" the "Purgatorio,' -
and the Paradise" A strikingly ef-
fective scheme of lighting gave
atmosphere to the various parts.
The students are to be congratulate

IRISH M|NOR|T|Es

In the recent election over the Home
Rule Bill, the Irish nation has again
refuted the claim that Ireland is d.
vided. With the exception of four
Unionist candidates from Trinity Col
lege, in the twenty-three Southern
counties, no election was held, as only
Republicans were nominated. In the
six counties of Ulster, arbitrarily cut
OFF by the Bill. the contest was waged
most bitterly. In two Of these coun-
ties anti Unionists prevail. In only
four Of the six counties the Union
lists have majority. and in only one
city. Belfast, is this an appreciable
majority. The opponents of the Union
in the six counties Of Ulster are rela-
lively greater in numbers than the
opponents OF independence In the
whole Of Ireland. Election returns OF
1918, 1920 and 1921 show that Ulster

is Ulster Protestant The latest Brit

IN MEMOR|AM
"REMINISCENCES OF A FRIEND-A
FEW LINES IN MEMORY OF
FATHER STACK.

Communicated by H. II. H.)
There passed away at st. Joseph's
Hospital, Mankato, a man who though
little known to the general public,
has left wonderful impress for good
on the generation for which he work
ed, the Rev. Edward Stack. He died
on June 2.
It was the win of God that his
approach to death should he through
the long, low archway of pain and
suffering, and through all the
weary way his patience and resig-
nation were admirable.
For about eight years he was un-
able to attend to the duties Of a
parish, yet when death came he was
not forgotten by the people among
whom he formerly labored, and from
early morning, on the day of his
funeral the people from Mapleton
streamed in, until the great church of
SIS. Peter and Paul was filed to it's
capacity.
The Office for the Dead was
chanted by his brother priests. Rt. Rev.
Monsignor Devlin of Austin officiated
at the solemn requiem Mass. and
Rev. Father Griffin, the present pastor
OF Mapleton, preached a beautiful and
instructive sermon.
After the services the body was
taken by his own old parishioners to
Good Thunder where it was laid to
rest among the people for WHEN he
had worked so long and faithfully.
Father Stack never did any of
those brilliant things that call for
the acclaim of the public, but his
holy and humble life was filled with
the little flowers of human kindness
and good deeds that only those who
were very near to him knew any
thing about. His tender consider.
alton for little children, his gentle
ness to the sick, his hidden chart.
ties, and above all his loyalty to
his friends makes his memory a
benediction to the people. One lit.
tie story told since his death is like
ray Of light on that hidden life
that was his own true self:
He was at st. Joseph's Hospital, q
patient himself even at that time,
which is many years ago, when an
infant few days old was brought
in. An effort was made to save
the feeble little life that did not
seem to take any roots in the world.
The weather was very hot and sui.
try, and Father Stack, who always
seemed to know what was going on
in the hospital, went to the doctor
and said: "You take the baby and
put it in my room, where there are two
big windows. can go home tonight,
I was going home soon anyway, and
I'll pay the difference in the cost
of the room, and it's folks needn't know
anything about that" This act Is
one of thousands of the same kind
that he has to his credit in the
bank of Gods mercy. The touch of
the brotherhood of man is in the
fact that the child was unknown to
him and belonged to neither his
race nor his creed.
May the Great Father meet him
with smile, in that strange city
to which he is gone, and may we,
who still remain, profit by his kindly
example.
