LOUISVILLE, KY,....... SATURDAY SEPTEMBER g. 1911.

Ole negroes attractions of the law
are almost unknown-the jails are
empty, the judges very rarely have
a prisoner brought before them. In
the Protestant district the very re-
verse is the case--crimes and numer-
Gus misdemeanors-showing that
Professionalism is not strong enough
to control the evil tendencies of the
negro population. And the contrast,
indeed, is so striking that non-Cath-
olics who are fully aware OF it have
wondered that we Catholics have not
pointed to these facts as proof of the
church's power over the negro and
the helplessness OF Professionalism.
The church, We know, has the truth,
and she has also the grace of the
sacraments. We do not wonder that
she has the power"

TEACHERS PENSIONS.

Every taxpayer should oppose the
proposed scheme for pensioning
school teachers. This pension bust
ness has already gone too far. Our
teachers are well paid and work
short hours, and if they fail to save
OF their earnings for old age or the
rainy day It is their fault alone.
Under these circumstances we are
at loss for a substantial reason for
making the teachers, who have been
fully paid for their services, a bur-
den on the taxpayers. And right here
we would like to know II those
women who have had to work longer
hours and cor less pay in stores and
offices are not as much entitled to
public assistance as are the more for
tunate teachers? II the proposed
scheme emanates from or is fostered
by the present School Board, that
body, which has been proceeding
with a rather high hand, should be
swept out of existence. Too much
time and thought has been given to
subjects that have nothing to do with
education, for which the people
are already paying more than they
think. With the schools in the
hands of a pension ring, which
would eventually result, their use
fulness would be at an end.

Meeting and Hears
Reports.

Mackin Council met Monday night
with another good attendance,
though nothing but routine business
was transacted. President Robert
son occupied the chair and kept
things moving for early adjourn
ment. A number of sick claims
were allowed, those on the list be-
ing reported as improving. The
committee arranging for the ami
yersary celebration reported what
had been done thus far, and the. pro-
gramme announced was received
with feelings OF satisfaction. No
date was set for the next initiation,
but II is certain to take place as
soon as cool weather sets in. The
Social Club announced that its fall
series OF reception dances would be
inaugurated September 21, and the
number of applications already filed
indicate a larger membership than
ever before. Secretary Frank Adams
and Treasurer w. A. Link stated that
the receipts would swell the treasury,
as all members were coming forward
and making full settlement OF dues
and assessments.

CATHOLIC FOREsTERs.

Assisted by the reverend pastor,
Father Pfeiffer, William Callaghan,
the newly appointed organizer for

pulled off unique event last Thurs
day evening at st. Helen's. A meet
ing of the men of the parish was
called with the hope that a new
court might be established in the
district. Preparations had been
made to have every applicant who
signed the charter role to be exam

who attended the meeting signed
and was examined the same evening
by the six local medical examiners

two weeks.

CHANGES.
Rev. Father Joseph Flynn
Succeeds the Late
Father Major.

The Rev. Father w. T. Whearty,
who for the past eight months has
been assistant pastor of St. Peters
church in Lexington, has been ap-
pointed pastor of the Catholic church
at Georgetown, where he will sue
coed Father Joseph Flynn. The
latter will become pastor of the
Church of the Good Shepherd at
Frankfort to succeed Father Thomas
S. Major, who died recently. Father
Charles Schultz, who was assistant
pastor of the latter church during
the illness of Father Major, has been
appointed to succeed Father Whearty
as assistant pastor at st. Peters in
Lexington. The changes were made
by Bishop Macs and became effective
this week.
Father Flynn's appointment to the
Church of the Good Shepherd is
pleasing to his friends throughout
the diocese, though the people of st.
Johns deeply regret the loss of one
who has been faithful shepherd.

WILSON MADE FRIENDS.

The San Francisco Monitor and
the Portland Catholic Sentinel note
editorially the recent visit of Gov.
Woodrow Wilson. The Monitor de-
clares many persons who welcomed
him to California look upon the
Governor as future President OF
the United States. Speaking of him
as a Presidential possibility the
Sentinel says:
Woodrow Wilson's transcon-
tinental speech-making tour has
heightened public interest in the
New Jersey Governors availability
as Presidential candidate. Gov.
Wilson has some advantages over
other possible Democratic candi-
dates. Coming as he does of a
Southern family, the South takes to
him very kindly. AS the South has
furnished the bulk of Democratic
votes in recent years it may take it
into its head to dictate the nomina-
ton of it's candidate. Gov. Wilson
has another element of availability
in that he has friends and followers
in both Democratic camps, Bryanite
and 'reactionary.' During his re-
cent Western trip the 'progressives'
in his party received him with real
enthusiasm. Yet, the original
Wilson booster is Col. George Har-
vey, of the Harper publications, who
abhors Organism and all it's works."

ELABORATE DECORATION.

Archbishop Moeller has sent to
all Catholic rectors of Cincinnati
archdiocese instructions directing
them to ring the bells of all churches
for five minutes at o'clock on the
morning of September 2S. In honor
of the National Eueharistic Congress
that convenes at Cincinnati on that
day. He also ordered that the ex-
terror of every church be festooned
during the four days Of the copven-
ton. An artistic bronze medal TO
commemorate the OCCASION and to
identify delegates has been designed
and will be worn during the con-
gress. A view OF St. Peters cathe-
dral in relief adorns one side of the
medal. while the Catholic doctrine OF
the Blessed Sacrament is symbollzed
on the reverse.

YOUR DUTY.

If anything were needed to
strengthen the resolution of those
voters who nave made up their
minds to support the Democratic
ticket, which gives promise for
honest and economical government,
II would be the thinly yelled
anxiety with which their intentions
are regarded in Republican circles.
Frantic efforts will be made by
O'Rear, Powers and Langley to dis
parage the ticket and platform, to
cast discredit on their aims, and to
weaken the determination of their
supporters. If those who are follow
ing the lead given by Messrs. Nc
Creary and McDermott were calculat-
ing and self-seeking politicians these
maneuvers might prove successful.
But they will produce no effect on
uShen who are moved by profound
Isense OF duty and who are resolved
In this great and trying crisis to act
at the bidding of conscience. The
accusation that these voters are
yielding to mere passion and impulse
is utterly unfounded. They have
considered the issues at stake in a
| cool and sober spirit, and they have
| determined on their cause OF action
because they believe it to be the
'bnly one consistent with the good OF
the State and the loyal discharge of
the duty that rests upon them.
Knowing that O'Rear and his follow
ers would destroy the safeguards
which are necessary to the safety,
honor and future welfare of Ken
lucky, 1t is almost inconceiyable
how any sensible man could vote for
them. II is now up TO all who have
the interests of the Grand Old Com
monwealth at heart to remember it's
motto and oppose the tyranny OF the
Republican machine. with whom the
shes Of the people count for

The Post is greatly disturbd over
the Democratic primary in Maryland
last week, which nominated Arthur
p. German for Governor. After much
labor the only fault it can find with
him is that he is the son of his
father, the late United States SEN
ator German, and that he had some
friends among the liquor men of the
State. Has the Post become so weak
minded as to believe that all good
rests with the Republicans and
prohibition?

I have watched beside your cradle.
Birdie,
Watched your little dimple chin,
Like | used to do your mamma,
when tiny little thing;
Saw the angels whispering to you,
For you would listen for awhile,
Then affections beams light up vour
face
And blossom in a smile.
May you guardian angel always
Watch closely by your side,
Whispering words Of love and duty,
Be your guard and constant guide.
Let your conscience be its dwelling
place;
Make your mamma the telephone,
So she can whisper to her Birdie
From your guardians sacred
home. p. Finegan.
