to Growing West End
Parish.

Members Of Holy Cross congrega-
ton, Thirty-second and Broadway,
are congratulating themselves on the
appointment by Bishop O'Donaghue
of the Rev. Father ]. s. Henry to the
pastorate of their church, vacant
since the death of the lamented
Father John Sheridan. Father
Henry will come to Louisville next
week, when he will receive a well
come that will at once make him feel
at home in his new and enlarged
field of labor. For years Father
Henry has been the faithful pastor
of st. Patrick's church at Stithton
and the mission at Vine Grove,
where he was held in high esteem by
Catholics and Protestants alike.
Tuesday he preached his last sermon
at Vine Grove, and at the high mass
tomorrow at st. Patrick's will bid
farewell to the people of Stithton,
who have found in him a faithful
shepherd and spiritual adviser. The
Holy Cross parish has been growing
rapidly and will soon rank with the
largest in the city, and therefore its
are rejoiced to have in the
place of Father Sheridan a priest of
the ability and zeal of Father Henry.

&c rye of the parish and made
friends with all, will return to the

RERATED.
knights and Ladies Make
Changes I'm Their
Laws.

The biennial convention of the
Catholic knights and Ladies of
America, in session at Memphis last
week, elected new officers and made
important changes in it's laws. The
report of President Leonard showed
a healthy growth and the legislation
adopted gives this order an in
creased degree of stability. The
question of rerating occupied the
greater part of the time of the con-
ventton, and resulted In the adoption
Of the National Fraternal Congress
Hat rate assessment at entry age,
which means an increase Of at least
10 per cent. This rate will go into
effect next month, but will not apply
to old members until year later.
The following are the Supreme Off

JOHN FACKLER.
Grand Old Man whose Life
Was n Model For
All.

With deep regret this paper an
nounces the death of that fine old
Catholic citizen, John Fackler,
which took place Friday evening at
his residence on Tyler Park drive.
He was born in Bavaria, but had
been so long identified with the re-
ligious, industrial and social life of
Louisville that his removal takes
away splendid example to young
men with nothing in their pockets,
but whose penury is offset by brain,
ambition and energy. John Fackler
was successful wagon builder and
blacksmith, but retired six years
ago. For many years he was a mem
ber of st. Patrick's congregation and
always active in the work of the st.
Vincent de Paul Society and the
Catholic knights of America. For
a long time he had been a sufferer
from heart disease, and during his
illness his wife passed away. Mr..
Fackler is survived by five chill
dren, Misses Lille and Lula Fack-
Ter, Mrs. Edward ]. Bosler, Mrs. A.
NJ. Gregg, of Jeffersontown, and
Charles ]. Fackler; two brothers,
Paris and Joseph Fackler, of Irving
ton, and. three sisters, Mrs. julius
Deuschke, of Cloverport; Mrs. Ern-
est Mitchell, of this city, and Mrs.
James Hardesty, of Irvington. The
funeral took place Monday morning
with solemn requiem mass at st.
James church, and when the last
mournful duty was performed at st.
Louis cemetery there was laid to
rest a man who was loved by his
Inmates, esteemed by his associates
H<sspected by. bis. fellow citizens.

SPRING BANK BARBECUE.

Final arrangements are being
made for the entertaining of mon
ster crowd at the old fashioned bar
becue and burgoo at Spring Bank
Park next Tuesday under the aus
pices of the Spring Bank Club, and
the promoters are prepared to feed
an army If necessary. Jack Badders'
the famous burgoo chef, is preparing
the bill of fare and promises to
surpass anything in this line ever
before attempted. Col. John H.
Whallen is general manager and has
charge of the disposal Of tickets,
which are being sold for 81, en-
titling the holder to all privileges.
The park can be reached by taking
either the West Walnut or West

Of striking the note Of sectarian war
fare at their first meeting"
The two Federal officers referred
to in the above are Postmaster Rob-
ert Il. Woods and Assistant Post
master John @. Morey, who thus far
have given no explanation of their
conduct, which is direct violation
Of Government ethics, IL nothing
else, in aiding and abetting attacks
on Catholic citizens and supporters
Of the Government which pays their
salaries. The Evening Posts part
in the affair being exposed, comes to
the front with a lame editorial on
how much good these patriotic
meetings can accomplish by having
open and free discussion of patriotic
affairs" while at the same time
knowing that the meeting was not
intended to be open and free and
that invitation was by card only
furnished by the A. p. A. promoters,
which fact was published in their
paid official notice.

Much TOuted Percy HaIy Receiving
Credit for Performing
Boys Work.
Senator James Wins a Victory by Sc
curing Instructions for
Clark.
JAMES OPINION OF The POST

The Haly-Beckham machine,
backed up by Gov. McCreary and all
the weight of his administration,
captured control of the Democratic
State convention held here Wednes-
day at Phoenix Hill Park, but not
until after hard fight from Senator
Ollie James, Congressman 0wsley
Stanley, Mayor Head and Frank Nc
Grath, who did not have an unlim-
tied slush fund to carry on their
campaign or the backing of the
States Chief Executive to hold up
appointments for the whipping into
line of unwilling delegates. Credit is
being given Percy Haly for his
political shrewdness in manipulating
the wires at the convention, which
work could have been done just as
easily by a twelve-year-old school
boy IL he was given a lot of State
positions, penitentiary guards, etc.,
to peddle around for votes. In pol
tics Percy is about the most over
rated man in Kentucky and has only
been successful with Beckham be-
mind him as Governor or now with
the support of McCreary. On an
even footing for the Railroad Com
.missionership two years ago, Billy
Klair, of Lexington, made Haly,
Beckham and all their following
look Ike the veriest novices at the
game
The following win go as delegates
at large from the State to the ma
toinal convention Baltimore: John
G. Mayo, Gov. James B. McCreary,
Ollie M. James, Allie w. Young,
Justus Goebel, Ben Johnson and
Owsley Stanley. John G. G. Mayo
was elected National Committeeman,
succeeding Urey Woodson, while
Rufus Vansant was chosen State
Chairman to succeed r. H. Prewitt.
Although defeated for Chairman of
the convention, Ollie James achieved
big victory by securing iron-bound
instructions for Champ Clark, the
Haly-Beckham crew finding this
bitter pill to swallow. One notice
able feature of the convention was
that the followers OF Beckham and
Haly, who were always cheering
and shouting "down with the liquor
trust" were making frequent visits
to the bar outside the hall, putting
down liquor at every opportunity.
The Evening Post, characterized
by Senator James as lying sheet,
and its editor a political harlot, lived
up to it's lying reputation In pub
fishing that the Louisville following
was recruited from bar-rooms and
chile parlors and were attempting to
howl down the McCreary speakers.
The leaders of the local delegation
cautioned them not to resent it even
after being grossly insulted by the
Haly-Beckham tool, H. v. McChes-
ney, and the Post fakir present on
the stage knew perfectly we'll that
there was no disorder from the
Louisville delegation. This can be
proven by reliable witnesses who
were present.

ty-six years, died suddenly Saturday

iuries sustained when a street car

who was driving the buggy died OF
his injuries a few days after the
accident. Mr.. Nitzken leaves a wife
and seven children and a brother
and sister. His funeral will take
place this morning from st. Marys
church, of which he was a life 'ong
member.

and that he was highly astounded 70
hear the bitter TRADES against Cath
olics by Barnett and Haines, and
how they were heartily applauded by
the promoters and their dupes in
the audience. To settle any doubt in
the minds of any fair minded person
as to the proper status of the Guard
ians of Liberty in the eyes Of the
public the following extracts are
taken from the Louisville Herald:
"The Guardians of Liberty is
striking and effective name for a
patriotic organization. No one can
question that liberty needs guarding.
Even in free country where demo-
cratic institutions obtain vigilance is
its price. But the Herald deplores
the launching of a movement of this
character at a meeting marked by
assault upon a religious denomina-
ton. Reports of the gathering at
the Scottish Rite Cathedral repre-
sent two speakers, one a former
Congressman, the other a preacher,
attacking the Catholic church in un-
disguised bitterness. We are told
their speeches were greeted with APP
plause, and an amazing feature Of
the affair is the fact that, among
other prominent citizens, two Fed
eral officeholders occupied seats on
the platform while these speeches
we're being made.
'"The true patriot will not en-
deavor to foment religious strife. No
more terrible curse can come upon
a country than a struggle of people
over questions of creed. With the
declaration of the new league that
no citizen should own allegiance to
any temporal power that he consid-
ers superior to the Constitution OF
the United States, and that no politi-
cal or ecclesiastical organization
should be allowed to manipulate or
control the sovereign citizenship OF
the people we are in hearty accord;
but holding these sound and gem
timely patriotic convictions does not
Justify an attack upon the faith OF
our fellow citizens, such as seems to
have been made by at least one OF
the speakers with the approval OF
the audience.
"No religious denomination in this
country has larger opportunity TO
control political power than any
other, except such as is incidental to
it's numerical strength. The con-
stitutional safeguards against the
peril of such control, should effort
be made at any time to gain 1t, are
surely sufficient. The real menace
In such an attempt is not TO the peo-
pie, but to the ecclesiastical organi-
cation that is mad enough to engage
in II. Liberty has less to fear than
plot of this kind and peace and
concord from the pernicious policy
Of provoking religious III feeling and
making the faith of thousands the
object Of ridicule and denunciation.
'With all that the Guardians Of
Liberty can do to promote intelli-
gent, patriotic citizenship We are in
full sympathy. In the fostering Of
education and the appeal 10 the
spirit OF enlightened democracy will
be found the strongest bulwark Of
liberty. This can be done with the
broadest federation for the creeds OF
others, and without the speaking Of
a single syllable OF bitterness. De-
claring themselves TO be 'nonsec-
tartan, the Guardians OF Liberty
seem to have made the serious error

POSTSHYPOCRITICAL ASSERTION

Following the expose in the Ken
lucky Irish American of the alleged
Guardians of Liberty and the indig-
nation expressed on all sides at the
attempt Of few to arouse prejudice
against Catholics because of their re-
ligion,. many who attended the Gen.
Miles meeting in Scottish Rite
Cathedral are now stating that they
we're there under the impression
that it was to be patriotic meeting
held under G. A. r.. auspices, and
are bitter at the promoters, who
they say secured the presence Of
many by false pretenses. AS was
predicted in these columns last
week, Col. Andrew Cowan, who pre-
sided at the meeting, denies any
intention of fostering the A. P. A.
movement, and in card to one of
the daily papers this week states
that he was there on the personal in
vitation of his old friend, Gen. Miles,
who assured him in advance tfAt
although the preamble of the
Guardians of Liberty sounded very
much anti-Catholic, there would sim
ply be talks on patriotism, which
Col. Cowan neglects to state in his
card was not borne out, as the foul
and bitter attacks of Preacher Bar
nett, of Philadelphia, and ex-Con-
gressman Haines, of New York, re-
fute this assertion, and il Miles is
not attacking Catholics he is in
