ROBERT EMMEI.

Yesterday (Friday) was the 1S2nl
anniversary OF the birth Of Robert
Emmett, to whose memory the world
over the Irish people paid tribute. He
was born or the 4th of March, lbs,
and on the goth of September, 1903.
that country he loved so well. En-
NETS career was Il short one, but no
man ever devoted n life so earnestly,
conscientiously M! faithfully to any
cause in any land than did he in the
few years that had been allotted him
here. The rebellion of '9S had been
cXtinyuishcd the leaders were dead or
in exile and Ireland was manacled
like hclnless slave to England when
up the gauntlet and in a few short
months had tho land once more ailaTe
with the spirit or revolution. and hops
again sprang forth in every patriotic
breast that richards redemption from
tyranny Hn'. oppression was near at
hand. All the zeal of his young life
was thrown into the movement and
history rotcs' the fact that success
would have been the outcome but for
series of accidents, mshaps and acts
of treachery that befel the cause in
its progress. and that led to its final
defeat, together with the capture and
execution OF the man whose very
hear. and soul w1s wrapped up in his
countrys freedom and whose sole am
bition was to see her take her stand
equal Of any country beneath the sun.
In this he was disappointed and for
this he offered Up his life, but the
right for which he so nobly, so fear
lessly commended, lives on. He failed
in his hopes AMI aspira tons. but no
one has ever quest toned the motives Of
Robert EmmCt. not even his judges and
executioners. There was no selfish
ness or personal ambition in his make
up. Hc was gifted with great talent
and was remarkable among his COM
paninns for the purity Of his life and
the inhexibility of his principles. His
splendid character, the romance con-
nected with his life, his youth and the
immortal speech which he delivered
in tho prisoners dock in answer to
the question why sentence should not
be pronounced against him will live on
forever IN the hearts not only of his
countrymcn, but of all lovers Of free
dom in every land and cline.

VIEWS OFOTHERS.
IreIand's Big Wind.
Editor Irish Standard:

Editor Irish Standard:
Dear Sir-Tn regard to the big wind
in Ireland, as stated in your paper last
week. wish to say it was not the rea!
big wind which blew the horns off the
COWS. This happened on Shrove Tues
day, 1922.
Your correspondent says it was on
Tuesday, January 9Th, 1889. You can
see it would be impossible for Shcove
Tuesday to fall on the 9Th of January
as it most always happens i'll February
or March. OF course, there have been
lots of big winds in the last eighty
years.
I have seer r1cn here who remem
bered that big flood in Limerick. 1t
must have come from the south, as the
city of L:meric. is about sixty miles
from the mouth of the river. I often
heard the old folks talk about Shrove
Tuesday and the big wind. In conc'u-
sion, it is an i'll wind that blows no
body good. Certain it is for the time
being it saved them the trouble Of saw
ing off the horns as we do.
Very respectfully,
THOS. FINN.

CALL FOR PRIESTS
More Are Needed in the West, Says
Bishop LiIlis.

Bishop Lillis.
More priests are needed in the West,
says Bishop Lillis, of Leavenworth,
Kansas, in a pastoral just issued
There are more vocations than ever
but the needs of the Church are great
er. What the Church needs more than
anything else, are more seminaries,
and especially, more preparatory semi
naries. In my diocese there are &c
churches having resident priests, and
46 missions and churches without resi-
dent priests. Besides these, thing
which can happen only in dioceses
which include a military reservation,
there are four priests in chaplaincies
under the supervision of the govern
naries.
"The phenomenal growth in wealth
OF the American people, strange as it
may seem, demands more priests. Ten
years ago, missions, which with a pop
ulation of fftv families. were unable
to support a resident priest and pay
his salary, are now not only able to
do this but even forty families build
a church and support priest.
FARMERS in Kansas who, a decade
ago, purcha sed land and raised fam
lilies, have now become rich enough to
retire to the town. All this swells the
population of the churches, and re-
quires new parishes
'"The course of study in preparation
for the priesthood covers a period OF
ten to twelve years, the best years
of a young mans life, but it is neces-
sary. If young fellow decides to en-
ter the ministry he should have ade
quate PREPARATION
And SO Bishop Lilis, realizing the
pressing need Cor more priests, in his
LenteD Regulations calls upon the
priests ard the people Of the diocese to
help get them. Nor is there any mine
ing of terms. lie says:
"The boy or young man feeling b
vocation 10 the priesthood must not
fail to sec the realization of his hearts
desire because NJ lack Of funds. Where
there is a will way can be found. II
should be the ambition of every parish
to have at least one of it's sons study
ing for the priesthood"
Rt. Rev. Bishop Hogan also urges
the faithful Of the Kansas City diocese
to assist and encourage young men
who wish to become priests in their
laudablc desire, calling attention to
the scarcity and need of laborers in the
Lords vineyard.

no income"
1t is comforting to think that this
harrassed family will now be given a
chance tt. live more comfortably. From
the Carnegie commission Mrs. Walsh
will receive silver medal and twenty
hve dollars per month for life, and five
dollars per month for each child under
is years. Those who have faith in the
God who provides for the widow and
the orphan will find something very
significant in the fact as given by the
reporter, that when he entered the
home Of this poor widow, she and her
four little children We're on their knees
reciting that prayer of hope and con-
ISOLATION and holy patience, the Rosary.

AS testified to in his own diary
George Washington, who never told
a lie, was born on February II and
not on February p. This may seem
just bit startling, but the fact is
that the first president was born be-
fore the adoption of the Gregory cal
endar in tho colonies. At the adoption
of the new style Of daily timekeeping
all dates We're put forward eleven
days. The Father of his Country was
twenty years old in 1852, when the
change affected the American colonies.
and until then hc had held his birth
day celebration February II. Further
on, when his birthday began to be
looked upon as a public event, there
were celebrations and receptions held
on the 18th. 1t was in 1890 that the
Tammany Society of New York de-
cided to celebrate February % as the
real WashngtoD's birthday and the
new style spread from that time on.
