''Who fears to claim the Irish name
Who will forswear his blood?
Who holds in shame the deeds and
fame
OF Emmett, Grattan, Flood?
When the men of our race, forced
by circumstances to labor in the les
ser walks of life, are asked the con-
public that opened its arms to re-
ceiVe their kin and gave them lib
erty and the right of citizenship, let
them not be content by merely recall
ing the heroic sacrifices on the battle
field of the nation, but what is even
as necessary and essential to the
greatness of the natfon,-a solid pha-
lanx of men and women leading in
every avenue of endeavor and making
this country the more prosperous be-
GAUGE Of their industry, and better be-
cause of their great civic virtues.
The work of today and tomorrow is
the struggle OF races and of men for
place in the great workshops of the
world. The men Of Irish nationality
must not only give, and continue to
give, its youth to serve in the ranks
of the clergy, in the professions, in
the business and in the Industrial and
commercial life, but they must all be
men who shall in no manner be in
ferior to the best in American life;
and above all, when a call comes to
the men of Irish blood to serve their
fellow men in public office, then let
no man dare to represent US unless
he be a true representative of the
best heart and mind and conscience
of our race He who values wealth
more than honesty, rank more than
character, amusement more than i'm
provement, ease more than reform,
falls below the highest standard of his
countrymen. Upon the conscience of
every man and every woman in this
country who is called to represent US,
is laid the weight of obligation to GER
tify the success of our great in herit-
ance and to certify the fitness of the
men of our race to self government.
But should our young men be en-
couraged to enter politics? The word
politician is not a respected name in
America today. In many quarters the
difference between the title politician
and statesman depends upon ancestry
and wealth rather than upon useful
ness as a public servant. I fear the
distinction between the activity of cit
liens of foreign blood in politics and
that of the men who represent wealth
has resulted in proclaiming the men
of recent foreign ancestry as politi-
clans, while the son of inherited
wealth often, regardless of his abi1-
ity, earns the title of statesman.
But there should be a limit to our
activity in politics, for too often the
influence OF politics is debasing. To
be successful in politics, unfortunate
ly, often means an alliance with meth
DDS an honorable man cannot admire.

The appearance OF Lieut.-Governor
Walsh was the signal for an outburst
of applause that developed into an
ovation. The speaker having smiling
ly acknowledged his appreciation first
paid a lofty tribute to the Catholic
priesthood, in acknowledging the
pleasure it gave him to speak on
such an occasion, and then took up
his theme, 1.-THE Irish Heritage and it's
Responsibilities"
He said:
Every heart bounds with joy and
pride as he recalls the glory of his
race at home and in exile. We give
our first love and affection to him
who brought to our ancestors, not
riches, nor firearms. nor power; but
the Cross, the emblem of Christ, the
symbol of Christianity. And why not :?
What conaueripg hero, what great
scholar, brought brighter gems or left
a mightier legacy than that which
Patrick brought and left to Ireland :?
The lone messenger of truth who
over fifteen hundred years ago came
to Ireland, brought to our land the
very same message that Christ four
hundred years before had brought to
Jerusalem.
Hence it is most fitting that at the
very outset of my address I should
ask you to join in reverencing his
name.
You ask me tonight to give express

PatriCk'S Parish

The annual lecture and concert I'M
der the auspices of st. Patrick's par
ish, held at the Plaza theatre last ev-
ening, proved the most successful in
the hitory of the parish. The brilliant
oratory of Hon. David I. Walsh, lieu

the splendid concert combined to de-
light an audience measured only by
the utmost capacity OF the theatre
Hundreds were turned away at the
last moment, the advance sale hav-

Congressman jeremiah Donovan Of
Norwalk preceded the orator of the
evening with brief Introductory
speech. He was enthusiastically
greeted, while the reception accorded
to the distinguished Massa chuse it's
statesman took more the form of an
ovation Throughout his stirring ad-
dress on ''The Irish Heritage and Its
Responsibilities" there were outbursts
of applause, and in the more sornbre
portions of his address, when he scam
ned the dark pages of Erins history,
tears stained the cheeks of many OF
his auditors. Gifted with a magnetic
personality and commanding presence,
he swayed the emotions of his audi
tors at will.
The concert was one of the best.
The vocalists were Miss Margaret Ho-
gan, Mr.. John f. Fay, Mr.. Charles
J. Francis Quinn was at the piano. Al
most every number was encored.
The audience included a large repre-
sentation Of the Catholic clergy, in
Guiding a number Of priests from 9TH
er cities. Though the main body of
the attendance was recruited from ST.
Paricks parish, there were many
members of other parishes, and a
large number of those not of the
Catholic faith who had come to en-
joy the oratoricaI efforts of the noted
speaker.
After several musical numbers, At
torney John H. Casey in a few well
chosen words briefly introduced Con-
gresham Donovan, who received an
enthusiastic welcome. The Congress-
man took time only to express his
pleasure at having an opportunity to
introduce the distinguished son of

ST. PArR1cK,s DAY MEMORIES

Here in Bridgeport's grand old city
The winds blow sharp and keen
But over the sea in Ireland
1 know that the fields are green
1 know that the fields are green and
From the hills of Darragh have melt
ed away
And the blackbird sings and the sham
rocks springs
On Dear st. Patrick's Day.
1 know that the bells are ringing
From many a be1lfry quaint
In many a chapel the "sagairt tells
The glory of Ireland's saint
From many a house lowly and poor
From many a mansion gay
The strains arise to the listening skies
On sweet ST. Patrick's Day
1 know that the boys are gathered
Outside on the village green
Where many a feat of stalwart strength
EnIivens the sunlight scene
And who would be blaming an Irish
lad
For letting his chances stray
To the coleens dressed in their Sun
day best
On dear st. Patrick's Day
Here in Bridgeport's grand old city
Are fortune and fame galore
The poor mans son may win if he will
A measure of golden store
And ever when spring time comes
again
I wish I were far away
Where the Shannon flows and the
Shamrock grows
On dear St Patrick's Day.
Mrs. Minnie Ginane, Burr Road.

There is a distinction between &C.
tiVity in politics and a persons duty
as a citizen. All must perform the
duties of citizenship to the extent u
insisting upon decent political meth
ods,, upon the nomination Of reputa5ls
candidates, upon wise measures %
legislation, and upon the s1bordfna-
ton of personal interests to the pub
lie good. This duty can best be per-
formed by the outspolceu and the
brave; aye, it can be effectively done
only by those who ask no reward
from the powers that be- and no
salary from the public treasury.
Thinking, patriotic men agree that
the great danger of the future to our
country is irreiigion. And here We.
who have sprung from q, people pro-
found1y religious have a great ad~
vantage in the opportunity our rs1l-
gton affords US to contribute 20 the

American citizenship. What = great

The story is told of a famous for
eigner who desired to write a story
of Irish life. To write such q. story
he made up his mind he must learn
their language very thoroughly and
know their character; and hence he
went out on the roadside and talked 70
the peasants day after day.
He wandered among them and stud

dirt and physical sufnerfnezs Of the
peasants in ireland he d1scerned a
quiet contentment and sense OF happl-
ness that troubled him. How is IT.
he inquired, "that this people live
without money and are happy; ] can
not understand it. That are really
happy, they know what # is to live.
yet we, who have everything that
money and eductfon can give us, are
without this peace?" The awaken
ing came to him. TT is religion he
cried, ''tEle church gives them peace.

forts when they feel the consolation

moral balance to the human race.
The result of the efforts OF nations
to live without Christian guidance
can be seen in the present state Of
civilized Society-discontenf, hatred
and profound Jnhappfness."

That scene and the thought it in

our inheritance? In order to under

something about the origin, the race

of this remarkable people.
We have already noted the fact thai
Patrick brought the word of God to
Pagan people and planted the Cross
where Christian foot had never trod.
When he died they were not the same
people. They were transformed and
filed with an apostolic zeal. Their
children overlooked the mainland of
Europe, and for many centuries no
figures are so familiar on the high
ways and byways of Europe as the
wandering Irish missionaries. From
the fifth to the eighth century the
Irish monks were the leaders of Chris

A few years ago I witnessed a
pathetic scene on the deck of a great
ocean steamship as it left the Irish
shore in its course to America Up
on the deck of the steerage cabin
stood a young Irish girl, her eyes fix
ed for the last time upon her native
land, the distant lines of which were
gradually receding from view. AS the
last green hill disappeared behind the
horizon, she turned, and w1p1ng away

she now displayed? 1t was apparent
that she carried no name that would
give her place or prestige in the land
toward which she turned. She had
neither the wealth nor the influence
that would make a place for her in
the New World. Her life was crying
out for encouragement, strength, and
inspiration; and she turned to get it
from that passing scene. The aid she
needed she received, in part at least,
from the race that had preceded her.
She had more than wealth or name;
she possessed a rich inheritance from
