THE ANGLO-sAxoN PRESS.

Without doubt the Anglo.SaXun
press is the most unreliable and most
Enthusiastically in the world. 1t has
Ill the characteristics of falsehood. 1t
supprcsscs truth and suggests untruth
in the news it gives to the English
reading public in both hemisphcres.
What it gives as facts today it con-
tl1dicts tomorrow; but frequently the
lies of yesterday are not contradicted
today nor tomorrow, but are accepted
rs truth and pass into history. This
is more often the case when there is
war or when rumors of war are afloat.
Everybody distinctly remembers
how the press of London and New
York hoodwinked the American peo-
pie into believing that during the
Spanish American War the United
States had but one true friend in
Europe among all the great powers,
and of course that was England.
BLOOD was thicker than water" you
know, and England. the Mother
Country" sympathized deeply with her
The Irish standard. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn. ;) 1886-1920, 1902-12-27

paper is to be pitied. How can its
members understand their religion if
they read nothing about it? They are
culpably ignorant of their faith if they
fail to read the Catholic press.
The Irish Standard, as it's name indi-
Gates, is published in the interests of
American citizens of Irish birth and
decent. In it's devotion to the race it
represents, The Irish Standard is not
inferior to any paper in the United
States. Though it is known as Irish
it is truly American, and never to it's
knowledge has it been false to true
principles of Americanism. In the
future, as in the past, it will be Ameri-
can, Irish, and Democratic. We ask
all our readers to assist us in the per-
Torrance of our work by prompt pay
ment of their subscriptions, and in
return we shall give them the worth of
their money during the coming year.
