DEAN POWER AND "YOEMAN."
(To the Editor.) Sir, —Tf "Yeoman," whom I recognise to be a worthy man, will communicate with me personally, I will lend him a very remarkable article, by the illustrious English non-Catholic writer, H. W. Mullock, written towards the end of October, ill which he shows that it has not only been the duty of the Church but her constant practice, from the days of Constantine, to engage actively in social politics, not in party politics, and to lean towards the'working-man, who is least able to defend himself. I am and have been consistently opposed to taking any part in party politics, and if the man whose slander of the working-man I have repelled happened to be the leader of a political party, that is an accident or n circumstance for which, I am not responsible. Notwithstanding "Yeoman's" failure to discover the fact. I did on the occasion of the strike condemn, and strongly, the false leaders who had badly advised' the strikers, lmt I more strongly condemned the Government who, by their masterly inactivity, left the worker to their mercy.—l am, etc., P. J. POWER.
