General Patrick A. Collins was
not only reelected Mayor OF Boston
on Tuesday, but was given the
largest majority ever received by
Mayoralty candidate in the history
of that city. This speaks we'll for
the Hub, where fifty years ago an
Irishman holding the Office of
policeman was so rare as to be a
curiosity. The campaign just closed
was marked by the apathy of the
Republicans, who seemed from the
first to despair of electing their
ticket. Mayor Collins will be
supported by an entire Demo-
cratic Board of Alderman, and will
have a majority of Democrats to
back him in the Council.

CHRISTMAS GREETING.

The Kentucky Irish American
with pleasure greets its friends with
this. its annual Christmas number.
In this, as in every issue of the
paper, its editor has striven as best
he knew how to do good, to let It's
readers know what is going on in
Catholic and Irish circles in Ire
land. in the United States, in Ken
lucky, but principally in LOUISVILLE
Jacksonville and New Albany. 1t
has never set itself up to be a mag
azine, but simply a newspaper,
chronicler of events; not dictator,
but a secretary, as it were who
seeks to record events as they are.
In these days of push and enter
prise, where the many are striving
for the almighty dollar, and who
seem to think it eau only be reached
by trampling under foot their neigh
Dor, the Kentucky Irish American
has been content to stand aloot
from strife, and occasionally to
warn others against quarreling and
lack of charity. 1t has ever sought
to be broad in its ideas, both from
an Irish national and an American
political standpoint. 1t has sought
to give the people journal tit for
the home and the family; to print
nothing that would cause the blush
of shame to mount the cheek of the
purest; to be just to all; to give
praise where it was due; to censure
only when censure was justly nee
essary, but in all cases to temper
Justice with mercy. If it has dis
pleased some, we regret and At At
the same time realize that no one
can pleaseeverybody.
We extend our thanks to the bus
mess people who have taken advan-
tage of our advertising columns,
and hope that through the medium
of the Kentucky Irish American
their generosity will be returned a
hundred fold. At this season, when
angels sing GLORY to God on high
and peace on earth to men OF good
will" the Kentucky Irish Ameri-
can wishes its subscribers and pat
rons, one and all, merry Christ
mas and a happy and prosperous
new year.

The Catholic Citizen, the leading
Catholic publication of Milwaukee,
has issued a twenty-four page
paper in honor of the sixtieth an
niversary of the establishment OF
the diocese, now the archdiocese OF
Milwaukee. This issue of the
Catholic Citizen is full of historical
facts bearing on the settlement OF
Wisconsin, on the early days OF
Catholicity in that State, chrome
logical table of leading events in
the history of the archdiocese OF
Milwaukee, and many other affairs
of interest to the Catholic historians
and statisticians. The Kentucky
Irish American hastens to congrat-
ulate the editor of the Catholic
Citizen on his enterprise and on
the excellence and taste displayed
in the selection of his reading
matter.

Telegraph in using much of the
matter printed in the Kentucky

readers when they get the same and
more news in the Kentucky Irish
American a week earlier for 81 per
annum.

Milwaukee. Although the diocese
was established on November 20,
1s43, its first Bishop, the Right
Rev. Martin John Henri, was not
consecrated until March Io of the
following year, so that the Wis
consin people have period of four
months during which to celebrate.
1t was raised to the dignity of an
archdiocese in 1875.
The Catholics of this North
western State do we'll to celebrate.
Their growth is something to be
proud of. In IS43, out of popu-
lation of 60, 900 people there were
10, 900 Catholics in the whole State;
and of 5000 people in Milwaukee
!, 500, or one-fouth, were of the
Catholic faith. And now, sixty
years later, of the 2,2oo. 900 popu-
lation in Wisconsin Co., 900 are
Catholics. Of the $4,000 that the
census gives Milwaukee 10000
are Catholics. In other words the
Catholic population has relatively
increased more than the total pop
ulation; and from one-fourth of
the population of Milwaukee in
IS43 the Catholics have increased
to more than one third of the pop
ulation. A steady tide of Catholic
immigration has caused this rapid
and sturdy growth.

ALAsl POOR FRANCE.

1t was hoped that France S
troubles were nearly over when a
few weeks ago Premier Combes
announced his wish to retire to
private life. But the rejoicing
came too soon. On Tuesday M.
Combes communicated to the Coun-
Gil of Ministers the text of bill
forbidding all teaching by the re-
ligious orders, even those now act
ually authorized. The purpose is
to Danish all religion from the
country. Five years are allowed
for the complete carrying out OF
the proposed law, and Its adoption
will entail the closing of 1929
schools for boys and 2,I95 schools
for girls. The bill also provides
for the dissolution, accompanied by
the sequestration of property OF
such congregations as exist solely
for the purposes of teaching, and
for the partial sequestration OF the
property of those congregations
which, in addition to teaching
also conduct hospitals for the in
digent. 1t is estimated that the
complete operation of the law will
entail an expenditure of $1,000, 900.
Poor France The waste OF
money is nothing in comparison to
the loss of religion. Look out for
another French revolution. With
the loss of religion there will be a
consequent loss of morality. After
that comes anarchy.

How Fair Managers Will
Catch Voters
All Ballots Not VOttd viii Be
Counted For

The Portland papers are not only
threatening the people with all sorts
OF things, II they even sign petitions
for the referendum on the 100000
Worlds Fair appropriation, but they
secured special legislation for a spe-
cial election. where all votes cast
blank on the subject will be counted
for the fair appropriation bill.
A special act of the legislature was
passed. ostensibly to give the people
the referendum on the fair bill, but in
reality to take the last chance out OF
the hands of the people of defeating
that appropriation. In other words,
the Portland managers are playing
the game with loaded dice.
The Little Joker.
In the end of the act are the follow.
ing words:
The ballot to be used at such cleo.
tion shall have plainly printed there.
on. for the use Of the voters, the title
OF said act so to be submitted, and
the date Of the approval thereof by
the governor. II so approved; and i'm.
mcdiately following thereafter have
the words which shall mean, when
used by the voters, the approval or
rejection of such act, as follows For
the Lewis and Clark Centennial Ex.
position-Yes." For the Lewis and
Clark Centennial Exposition-No." And
II the majority OF the ballots so cast
shall be Yes" the said election shall
be declared in favor Of said Exposi.
tion, and II the majority be NO" the
measure will .be considered rejected:
provided that II any ballot for such
election shall be cast by any legal
voter who shall have failed to indicate
hereby whether he has cast his ballot
for or against said act, Il shall be con.
presumed that such voter in.
tended to cast the same In favor Of
said act. and such ballot shall he so
counted and declared.

ton will be submitted at the special
