Tor Mayor, but the Judge splrW1 tne
beans by registering as a Democrat,
thinking at the time that the Repub-
lican party and its appendages in
Louisville were hopeless.
While trying to create dissension
in the Democratic ranks the Pro-
gressives have overlooked the merry
little war going on between their
party and what is left OF the
q. o. p. the leaders of both being
at loggerheads in regard to their
tickets in the August primary, which
both have to nominate according to
law. There is no chance at all for
Fusion after the nominations are
made. as there are candidates on
both sides blaming each other TOT
the wreck of the Republican party
here. and neither will help the other
10 pull chestnuts out OF the fire.
Ex-Nfayor Grinstead wants the nom
nation for Mayor on the Progressive
ticket, but the younger element
want Fl. I. Fox, who made the race
for Congress against Swagar Sher-
lev. and his friends insist that he
be given the nomination as reward
for his splendid race behind Roose-
yelt They contend that Grinstead
has had his chance and should
stand aside for the younger man.
Anyway there viii be fur flying In
the Progressive ranks soon, as IN
ambition to the Mayors fight many
Of the old Republican office-holders
under Grinstead want to try again
for the pie counter, while the orig
tnal Progressives can't see them
for a minute. On the Republican
ticket only one candidate for Mayor
mas been mentioned thus far, that
Of Robert L. Harris, ex-memDer OF
the Legislature.
Another bone Of contention be-
tween these two parties Is the coll
ored brothers vote, the Republicans
hoping to get them to vote under the
log cabin. while the rrogressiyes are
hoping against hope to keep them
in the Bull Moose ranks, but are
little doubtful. about this. Many be-
iieve the elderly and illiterate
negroes will stay with the G. 0. r,
while the elite among the colored
folks will adopt the new party for
guide. From this II can be seen that
the Republicans and Progressives
will have enough trouble In their
own ranks to smooth over. let alone
worrying over the possible entries In
the Democratic primary.
In a fair and open primary the
Democrats will nominate a strong
ticket and not, as Argus intimates,
mt up a ticket OF favorites, and
with a solid phalanx OF $4,000 votes
10 start with, the Democrats have no
fear OF the Republican OF Progressive
Opposition, or both, and feel confi-
dent that the race will not even be
close. as the local Bull Moosers won't
have Teddy Rooseyert's kite TO hang
onto next year.

the Sacred Heart, for our Lord says
II Is his delight to be with the chill
dren OF men, and He calls con-
tinually from the tabernacle Come
to me all ye that labor and are
heavy burdened; will refresh you"
Here is the bread Of life, and the
waters OF salvation, eat and drink
that you may have life in you. Who
soever, says He, shall eat my body
and drink my blood / shall abide in
him and he in me-and as I live by
the Father, so you live by me-"
The church tells us to receive
frequently. She would have us, too,
give ourselves to the honoring of our
Lords heart. For this has she in
dulged that devotion with so many
privileges, and wishes that the faith
full give their names to the CONTRA
ternities established TO further this
devotion. Let this month of the
Sacred Heart be marked by loving
union with the Divine heart through
many prayers and frequent holy
communions.

of Gods mercies the Governor says:
with love and veneration we
should offer praise and thanks to
God for the manifold blessings con-
ferred upon us and unite in earnest
supplication for their continuance.
The year now drawing to a close has
been conspicuous and notable. Our
republic has been at peace with the
whole world; our State has had
rich harvests, productive industries;
happy and contented people find
abundance at home and overflowing
markets; law and order have been
preserved; the glorious heritage of
self-government has not been Inn
paired, but strengthened, and wher-
ever we may look or whatever we
may think, we have abundant cause
for satisfaction and for gratitude
to God. Therefore I. James B. Nc
Creary, Governor of the Common
wealth of Kentucky, designate
Thursday, the 2Sth day of November,
1919, as Thanksgiving day, and
call upon all the people of Kentucky
to give thanks and praise to God for
the blessings He has conferred upon
US, and to humbly beseech a con-
tinuance OF his great mercies."

This enthusiasm is due to the untir-

WHAT The CHURCH TEACHES

The month Of June, the month of
roses and sunshine, is set apart by
the church for special devotion to
the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The
Feast of the Sacred Heart falls in
the middle of the month-June IA.
A month more fitting for the tender
devotion could not have been chosen.
Set as it is in the center of the year,
all the other months seem to di-
verge from it, as all devotion must
center and diverge from the heart
Of God. It's roses are emblematic OF
the Saviour. The Sacred Heart de-
votion is the chief devotion Of the
day, and though not new, 1t is still
of great antiquity. st. Gertrude
tells of 1t in the twelfth century, and
that il was to become one day uni
versal we know from the revelations
made to her, viz, "that it was a de-
votion reserved for these latter
ages" This time came and to the
sainted Margaret Mary Alacoque, a
humble nun of the Visitation order,
was made known the full wishes OF
our Lord regarding his gift. "Be-
hold this heart" said He, (which
has loved man to such an excess that

satisfy the heart OF man, put tnat
there is a home for everybody; one
that is awaiting every man and his
children, and that 1t is the duty OF
parents to prepare their children for
their home. He said all the studies
of the world can not make a good
woman. They need religious train
ing. he said. Father wilkins told OF
what he said was great mistake
that made by Catholics who fail to
send their children to Catholic
schools. He called attention to the
fact that in the public schools no
religion is taught. He declared 1t
was impossible for parents to send
children to the city schools for years
and then expect them to acquire a
knowledge OF their religion in few
months prior to receiving their first
hold communion.
Father wilkins said the Catholic
church frequently has been accused
of being opposed to science. He said
ne not only denied, but resented that
charge, and said the church not
alone teaches the children the things
of the world, but also religion. He
asked II the new school would have
been erected had the people OF st.
Philip Neri congregation been op-
posed to science. He gave the names
of many leaders In drawing, med
lcine. music and painting who were
Catholics. He said science was not
enough-there muAk be religion.
That the parents must cooperate
with the teachers was maintained by
Father wilkins, and he praised the
parent-teacher organizations OF the
public schools for bringing this
about.
After the vespers the Rev. Father
Cronin, accompanied by Fathers
Ratio and Felten and a long line OF
priests. proceeded to the hall, which
was solemnly blessed and dedicated.
When this had been done all re-
turned to the church for the benedic-
tion, at which the Vicar General was
the officiating priest.
The day was brought to a happy
close with an elaborate banquet, for
which over 500 covers were laid.
While the courses were being served
the school children re1dered solos,
choruses and recitations that evoked
much enthusiasm. Rev Father
Bchuhmann acted as toastmaster,
and besides paying tribute to the
great German statesman was most
happy in his introductions. Vicar
General Cronin said Father Acker-
mann and his people had reason to
feel proud OF their work, which will
stand for centuries. The good that
will come from Windthorst Hall, he
said, will be more fully realized
when those who are now children
there become young men and women.
Lieut.. Gov. McDermott spoke eio-
quently and paid nice compliment TO
the young ladies who served the ban
quet, expressing surprise that there
should be any old bachelors In that
part OF the city Frank A. 0eher
was the last speaker, and his re-
marks. which were thoughtful and
carefully prepared, were given close
attention. Taken altogether this
wss a celebration that will long re-
main a pleasant memory to those
present.

Federals who want horne rHie
round detect some obstacle to
symmetrical settlement on Federal
lines, owing to the extension as to
customs to Ireland of provisions
which would be impossible in the
cases of Scotland and Wales. This
group of dissentients claimed at
moment to have no fewer than
seventy Liberals, but further dis
cussion and further explanation of
the provisions of the bill removed to
great deal the discontents, and
anyhow the spirit of loyal support
to the Government and enthusiastic
support to home rule by the whole
of the Liberal party will succeed
finally in overcoming this last
difficulty, and the Government
counts on practically the same huge
majority as on all the previous
clauses of the bill.
The next week will be entirely
occupied with the customs and the
other financial proposals OF the bill,
and when the week ends an easy
passage of the bill through the
House of Commons will be abso-
lutely assured. Premier Asquith
repeated last week his prediction
that the bill should get through
every stage before Christmas. More
perplexity and misgiving exist with
regard to the Welsh church discs
tablishment bill. While the feeling
of the liberals toward the prin-
ciple of disestablishment is unan-
Imous, no such enthusiasm is behind
the Welsh as behind the Irish bill,
and a small group OF Liberals still
hold out against the disendowment.
The Presidential election in
America excited comparatively little
notice in the English press owing to
the immense pressure OF the war
news and the home rule debates on
their space. The main point dis
cussed was whether the triumph
of Wilson means a triumph for free
trade or the continued adhesion to
protection in moderate form, and the
Liberal free trade and Tory pro-
tectionist journals hammer away on
this theme. But even that topic
sank after a few days into insignifi-
cance owing to the absorption OF
England In her foreign affairs and
her own internal struggle.
