And with a reed I wrote upon

But from the highest mountain

Was 1t Racial or Religious z

The following letter appeared in the
Boston Pilot of last week:
During the Knownothing period, be-
tween 1854 and 1860, the Catholics of
| New England We're subjected to Il con-
| tHuous persecution from those native
to the manner born. Nearly all Catho-
| lies in New England in those days
were Irish. This persecution has
been attributed to religious differences.
but was it? Let us see.
AS early as 1877, or thereabouts
there was quite colony of Irish Pres
byterians in Worcester, Mass. No two
of the Protestant sects are closer, theo-
logically. it has been said, than the
Congregationalists and the Presby-
terians. Yet here in Worcester so in
tense was the feeling against these
Irish Presbyterians among the Congre-
gationalists, of English origin that the
frame of church put up by the Irish
about the year mentioned was torn
down during the night and not a
stick of timber could be found the
morning following. Surely this was
racial and not religious prejudice.
Again in 1925 when the town of
Penacook now Concord, N. H., was
laid out the deeds of the homesteads
sold the settlers by the proprietors
contained a condition to the effect that
no lot could be alienated without the
consent of the proprietors. This is
mentioned in Bouton's History of Con-
cord, and in connection with it was a
statement that this condition was in
serted in the deeds to prevent the Irish
from getting possession of any land in
, the town. The Irish meant were the
Presbyterians of Londonderry, who
had located in the Colony six years
before. Surely the prejudice here. as
in Worcester, was racial and not re-
ligious, for the Londonderry settlers
were staunch Protestants.
Again in 1856, one hundred and
thirty years later, similar clauses were
inserted in deeds of transfer of lands
in Concord, N. II. The clauses read
something like this: "The condition
on which this land is sold is, that it
shall not be sold. transferred to, or
occupied by an Irish person."
In this instance the Irish were
Catholics, but not word was said
about the religious belief of the Irish
of 1925 and 1877 who were Protes-
tants, or the religious belief of the
Irish in 1855 who were Catholics.
They We're prescribed simply because
they were Irish, regardless of their
faith.
So it must be that the prejudice was
racial and not religious. Let it be as
it may, it furnishes food for reflection.

Every one knows that the life-giving

Every one knows that the life-giving
property of the air we breathe is oxy-
gen, and the evidences indicate that
the atmosphere was once vastly more
rich in oxygen than it is now. The
enormous types of saurians in the age
of reptiles and of mastodons in the
age of mammals show this. 1t is even
possible that it has changed perceptib-
ly in the age of man. The wisdom of
the ancients which staggered such
men as Bacon may have been inspired
by a richer atmosphere. Certainly the
physical endurance of some of the an
Gent races would be impossible now.
The long run the Greeks took on en-
tering the battle of Marathon required
stronger action Of the heart and lungs
than the present conditions afford.
Now every fire that burns destroys
some Of the oxygen in the air, and
the same destructive forces that are
consuming the fuel are ut once de-
stroying the life-giving properties Of
the atmosphere. If the oxygen of the
air decreased before the all-consuming
fires Of the present generation started
how long will it continue to sustain
the highest kind of life at the rate the
world is now going? This question is
looked upon seriously by men eminent
In science, but confess do not see
any remedy. We cannot even draw it
into politics, since no trust has yet
got an option on the air. Do you
know what sigh is! It is an oxy-
gen starvation. We assist breathing
unless we forget it. But when we
are wrapped up in thought we neglect
it. Then the involuntary muscles
force a breath which becomes audible
and we call it sigh. 1t also occurs
in the WORKOUT atmosphere of close
room and is then Il warning that
health is beginning to suffer. The
time will very likely come when the
all-consuming furnaces have turned
the wood and coal and ore of the
world into dust that the atmosphere
will be less stimulating than the worm
out oxygen Of crowded room and
the race will struggle for life in thin,
cold air. There will be signing then.
