1T is in our youth that we receive our
ideals, and 1t is by young men that good
young American should be enlightened by
an EXTENDED system of moral education
and be instructed in all the great elemen-
tai truths which elevate the mind and
purify the heart Of man. that he may be-
come n leader In our system of self-gov-
eminent. and that he may properly guide
the thoughts of the people and raise such
issues as involve the real welfare of our
couDtrymen.
And I ask "" my friends. where can
a young man secure a better training for
a political life than in your societies that
are represented here tonight? And YOU
must see that your members at home take
an interest in politics. that they may ac-
complish as much for the political well
fare of your several communities and for
the Advancement of mankind rs young
men of your religious and moral training
ought TO. .
The good that young men can accom-
plish in politics is ~boundless. BY politics
l do not mean the mere holding of an
Office for the sake of the salary. but the
actual working for the good of your COM
munity. You must see that the laws are
impartially enforced: you must see that
officials who have sworn to execute the
laws do not neglect to execute the same
from political expediency.
1T is only by the faithful execution of
all the laws that we can overcome the
Ieelfflg OF dlStruSt that demagogIIeS an
archists and socialists are creating
throughout the country.
This is the work to which young men
like you ought to apply their energies"
Father Coreoran selected several strong
points of Mr.. Mason's speech, and among
others was that of the people to see that
the public officials perform their duty ac-
cording to their oath. The Essex official
was applauded for several minutes as he
took his seat. and later was greeted by a
delegation of Newarkers as Our next
Sheriff"
Mart King. the Newark story teller.
reeled off several witty tales which caused
all hands to laugh, and after Mayor Jacob
Haussling was introduced as the Mayor
of the greatest city in New Jersey Mr..
King went Father Corcoran one better by
remarking Yes, and I'm the next
Mayor"
Mayor Haussling realized that the hour
was late and he stated that as a result he
would not make any extended speech.
"All / can say, gentlemen he began. us
that Mayor Ryan has a right to be proud
of the city of Elizabeth. We find that it
is all Mayor Ryan claims 1t to be. I my
self know it is a lucky city and know 1t
to be a fact for I was married here by
the Rev. Father Henry t~hirty-three years
ago and | have been lucky ever since"
The speaker then extended an invitation
to those who intended to remain in Jersey
to take a run over to Newark and ascer-
tain how great it Is.
II think you'll find that 1t is one of the
greatest cities in the country" he re-
marked.
Martin Conboy, of East Orange. was the
last speaker, and in view of the late hour
he was brief. He told of the necessity of
Catholic young men interesting themselves
in not only church work but that pertain
ing to their local government as well.
Mr.. Slattery, the new president, was
escorted to his quarters in the Burkley
Hotel by a number of the delegates.
