FAR RoCKAWAY, n. Y, March IL
Considerable dissatisfaction was mani
tested among the inha bitants of the viii
lage to-day when several men pulled down
the American flag from the flagstaff on the
Town Hall and raised in its place green
one.
The action of the men soon attracted
a crowd of citizens, who demanded that
the stars and stripes be replaced. but
when a permit from the village president
was shown the angry crowd turned their
attention upon the b. ard OF trustees.
Within an hour after the stars and
stripes had been hauled down they were
floating again, but not on the same staff.
1t had been carried to the top of the bell
tower, which is twenty feet higher.
BosToN, March 17.-An enthusiastic
driver of a United States mail wagon to-
day profusely decorated his horse and
wagon with green flags in honor Of st.
Patrick's day.
The matter was reported TO Postmaster
COveny, who sent a mild reprimand to the
driver, with directions TO remove the orna-
ments on the ground that while the wagons
are used by the Govern nent it is not in
GOOD taste to have Uncle Sans mail-car-
riers under foreign flag
ST. PAUL, March 17.--Archbishop Ire
land preached in the cathedral to-day, TAX
ing for his subject 1.-THE Foreign National
ism in America" Foreign nationalism, he
said. must be kept in the background and
give place in church and State to
Americanism. st. Patrick teaches this
lesson. He himself. not native of Ire
land, became a more thorough freshman
shan most Irishmen. If st. Patrick were
Bishop in America to-day he would be
the stanchest of American patriots and the
most loyal OF American citizens. Nation
alism is ana must be supreme in our civil
and social matters-that is, American ma
tionallsm. On this condition has Amer
lea admitted foreigners to citizenship
No political segregation of ctiz-ns
on foreign lines can be allowed. 1t was
wrong to have so-called Irish-American
votes. No one should vote as an Irishman
and seek an office as such. 1t is wrong in
private lie to cultivate the spirit of a for
eign natiOnalism at the expense Of Amer
lean natiOnalism.
