NEWS FROM IRELAND
The White Marble Priest.

while passing one day through the
rotunda Of the Capitol two little Irish
lads asked me where was the marble
Priest" l sought the proper official,
and took them to the statue Of James
Marquette, Wisconsin's gift to the
United States. The incident gave rise
to the following lines:l
No room in your hall for the white
marble priest,
o long boasted land of people op-
pressed?
Your face full of terror, your heart
full of fears?
The man has been dead full two hun
dred years!
Ashamed to confess that you owe
him debt?
You've room for Columbus,
But not for Marquette.
Twelve million people, part of your
whole,
With Macs and Maloneys on Your
pay-roll;
They help fight your battles and help
build your roads,
They help pay your taxes and help
bear your loads;
Ashamed to confess that you owe
him a debt?
You've room for Columbus,
But not for Marquette.
You've room for Dc Soto, the man Of
the sword;
No room for the priest, with the word
of the Lord
For he stands in his robes. with his
cross and his beads,
Afraid of pater Nosters, of his rites
and his crceds!
Ashamed to confess that sou owe
him a debt?
You've room for Columbus,
But not for Marquette.
You have room for the Pilgrims, as
forth they embark.
Gods rainbow above them. in Free
dom's fl1il ark;
No room for the freedom of speech
and of thought
That over the wave Of the ocean they
brought?
Ashamed to confess that you owe
him 4 debt?
You've room for Columbus.
But not for Marquette.
o nation. first Graded in the bosom Of
O nation. whose fathers the martyr
path trod!
o fear not the Bible that fostered
your youth,
And fear not the churches, the pillars
of truth.
Rise up and confess that you owe
him a debt;
You've room for Columbus.
Make room for Marquette.
