His Holiness the Pope in the per-
son of Michael Gillian. Mike
had a great sense of humor-
and. what is more important in
certain parts Of Ireland, great
restraint. His place of refresh
ment was crowded every foot
ball night by players and fans
in this bad-mannered football
league. There was a lot of leg
pulling about the Bishops skull
which might easily have brought
bloodshed but for Mikes good
common senSe-and respect for
his good right fist.
WELL" he made retort one
night to a barb, "his grace is
standing up well. I'd say he
was about the hardest-headed
man in all Ireland"
A T LONG LAST came Boxing
"A Day, and the finalists. the
team from Ballycastle and that
from Moyarget, met in the for
mer village. It was grand foot
ball weather, and Orangemen
from all over the county assem-
bled to watch the game. Digni-
taries Of the order were present
in force and, of course, there
wasn't single Catholic on the
field. Ballycastle won by three
goals to nothing.
In presenting a small silver
cup to the winning team, the
county grand master Of the
Orangemen took occasion to
touch on "this heroic gesture"
and declaration of independ-
ence" and wound up with a sug-
gestion that for next season the
brave souls procure the skull of
a cardinal. He was, of course,
loudly applauded. AS he con-
cluded, a small boy came for
ward and handed the Orange
leader a note. It read:
Wash away the mud from
the inside Of the skull and read
what's written there"
TH1S was done-amid much
perturbation-and the fol-
lowing message was disclosed,
Scraped deep into the bone:
This is the skull of the Rev.

Of Down-and-C Connor from. .....

by the undersigned after your

Grace ...... Lie

It speaks well for the sense Of

there was little or no fighting

DIR. MOrgan's Latest Outburst

Dr. A. E. Morgan, dismissed by President
Roosevelt as chairman of IVA, has turned
propagandist for the Power Trust Before
the congressional investigating committee
Morgan declared the other day that IVA was
"giving alDay polUer" so as to injure the pri-
vate power companies by forcing down prices
During the next few years that statement
will be repeated a thousand times by oppo-
nents of public ownership and by those who
wish to discredit the power program spon-
sored by President Roosevelt and Senator
Norris.
The fact that the engineers who are hand
ling IVA fatty contradict DR.. Morgan will
be ignored, and many citizens earnestly de-
sirous of securing the facts will be confused
That Morgan's statement is pure propa-
ganda is amply demonstrated by Hydro"
the power system in which the Province of
Ontario has invested hundreds of millions
of dollars and which has been such an out
standing success that the citizens Of Ontario,
without regard to their views on other ques-
tions, are unanimous for "Hydro,"
In the city of Ottawa, capital of the Domin-
ion, the rate for domestic consumption is less
than cent per kilowatt hour-far beIo10 any
rates suggested by iva Even that low rate
has not ruined private enterprise in Ottawa.
A privately-owned plant continues to actively
compete with the municipal system and both
plants are making money
With the reduction in rates has come a
tremendous increase in consumption, The
average householder in Ontario uses three
times as much 'juice" as the average house
holder in Washington, D. C,--and Washing
ton has just about the lowest rates for pri-
vately-owned plants in the United States.
1t is this increased consumption which
makes it possible for either privately-owned
or publicly-owned plants to make money and
at the same time cut costs to the consumer.
The iva is not losing money. 1t is one Of
the soundest enterprises launched by this
administration. 1t Is not running pTiUate
enterprise On the contrary it is teaching
private enterprise how to earn big profits
legitimately-by decreasing rates and IN
creasing consumption

Union Smashing Police
SQUAD Abolished in

LOS ANGELES.-(FP)-The no.

terrorized labor unionists and lib

of Acting Police Chief Davidson, new
appointee of Mayor Fletcher Bow
ron.
Capt. William F. (Red) Hynes,
leader of the squad, is under inves-
tigation by the LaFollette civil
liberties committee, which has re-
quested Mayor Bowron to turn over
all records of police action in strikes.
HyneS, it has just been revealed,

from the Los Angeles Cleaners and
Dyers Assn. In 1884 he was paid

workers.
Hynes's men had a long record
of strikebreaking. The squads tech
nique was to single out active union
lists for brutal sluggings.
Dissolution of the squad was the
result of victory for CLIO and AFL
voters in municipal recall election,
which recently swept Judge Bow
ron into office on reform platform.
