BY WILLIAM PEET,

| The renewal OF athletic relations be-
tween Georgetown and George Washing
ton Universities after a lapse of seven
years is gratifying to hundreds of alum
nj Of both these big schools and opens
the way for a football game each fall
which in time should rival those former
clashes between the Hilltoppers and Vir-
ginia.
AS a matter of fact Georgetown and
George Washington never should have
broken relations, and probably never
would had 1t not been for a lot of un-
| savory newspaper notoriety concerning
the actions of a lot OF thoughtless stu
dents at a football game on the Hill in
1907.
1t is known that il George Washing

on their schedule for the downtown col
legians
George Washington in the fall of 1905
had football team that ranked with
the best minor colleges in the country.
The sport was continued for two years
and then dropped. 1t has never been
revived.
The Hatchetites. as they are familiarly
known. may decide to put a football
eleven in the field next year as the old
athletic debt has been wiped out ahd al
track.
That there is plenty of nrst-clsss foot
ball in the downtown university goes
without saying, the principal handicap
would be the lack of a proper athletic
field and the raising of enough money
to hire a competent coach and to buy
equipment.
With a representative team and a place

An annual game between Georgetown

Professional boxing in San Francisco

follow the sport can see only gloom
ahead. It was only a short time ago

PEOPLE FOR PEACE.

Peace treaties between the United
States and Great Britain, France,
Spain and China-four countries
whose combined population is more
than two-thirds of the total of the
earth-have been signed by the
respective nations. The Washington
Government attaches the highest
Importance to the signing of the new
treaties, because it believes the
peace of the United States will be
made secure with 94s,0OO,OO0 peo-
pie. 1t is happy news indeed that
amidst all the alarms of war Mr..
Bryan's Peace Commission treaty
with Great Britain is now ready for
signature. The treaties provide for
a permanent Joint Commission
which will be able to undertake the
investigation of disputes. The
greatest danger of friction between
nations is thus removed by postpon-
ing all hostilities for one year.

WANTS TO PUNCH.

When we see ignorant pulpiteers,
political pot-boilers and rag-time
newspapers prating about the Cath
Ollie church as an enemy to our
country and its cherished institu-
lions, and again, when we find that
nearly one-half of the army Is
composed OF members of the Cath
ole church with numbers OF Catholic
priests as chaplains-all sworn to
defend our country with their lives
we feel like punching the empty
skulls of these stupid Uriah Heaps
who are perpetually weeping over
the delinquencies of the Roman
Catholics and inferentially advertis-
ing themselves as the salt OF the
earth. That's the punch that Rev.
Father Maher hands out in the
Catholic Advance.

KNIGHTS AND LADIES.

Louisville branches of the Cath
Ollie Knights and Ladies of America
held a joint mass meeting Tuesday
evening at the knights of Columbus
Hall presided over by Rev. Charles
p. Ratio, Supreme Spiritual Director
of the order. c. II. Mari, of Wyan-
dotte, Mich, Supreme President, and
Henry F. Hayes, of Chicago, Su-
preme Secretary, made addresses in
the interests of the order, following
the Introductory remarks of Father
Ratio. The speakers made strong
pleas for activity among the mem
bers of the order, placing especial
stress on each branch and each
individual member being ready to
assist in all works of social service
and in all undertakings of the
church and of their respective par
ishes. The order should receive
enthusiastic support, but the
church and the parish should never
theless come first, as the G.. K. and
l.. of A. is a society of Catholics, and
it's members owe their first duty to
God and his church, and in this way
more benefit will ultimately come to
the society than by devoting all en-
ergy and enthusiasm to the order.
DR.. Charles Edelen, the Supreme
Medical Director of the order, a sec
ond Supreme officer of Louisville,
was also very much in evidence in
arranging details of the meeting, and
also made a short exhortation to
Louisville members and put their
shoulders to the wheel and boost the
order. The greatest harmony pre-
walls among all the membership at
present, especially in Louisville, and
as the order is showing rapid gain
in financial strength since the
adoption of National Fraternal Con-
gress adequate rates on July 1, 1913,
it is expected that corresponding
gain in membership must inevitably
result. The local and visiting su-
preme officers went to Frankfort for
meeting there Thursday evening,
Jeffersonville on Friday. New Albany

DESERVE EXTREME PENALTY.

The fact that horsemeat was
being sold here was made known
this week and aroused intense in
dignation. This violation of the law
has been suspected for some time
but it was not until Tuesday that
the health officers could secure
evidence upon which to base war
rants. The horsemeat, it is alleged,
was worked into hamburger and sold
to street stands, cheap restaurants
and INSCRIPTIONS butchers. Any
one guilty of this offense should be
made to suffer the full penalty OF
the law.

NOTHING NEW IN SOCIALISM.


There is nothing new in Socialism,
so far as it offers a scheme for the
betterment of social conditions. 1t
is nothing new that the State should
own railroads, telegraph lines, or
what are termed the tools of labor,
and a man does not have to be a
Socialist to believe that the parcel
post is an Improvement over express
companies, and that the Government
might run the telegraph systems for
less money and under more salts
factory conditions than a private
corporation. All those theories have
been or are now being put into
practice in some part of the world,
and they were carried out years
before Karl Marx was born or
Socialism was invented. Even in
this country the Government owned
the railroads and the canals at
first, and still owns most of the
canals of the country, notably the
Erie. The Government owns rail-
roads, particularly the Panama. II
runs steamship lines and is con-
templating the exploitation Of
mines and doing other industrial
work, so that there is no need of
man becoming a Socialist in order to
favor and advocate public ownership
OF utilities Neither is II necessary
to believe In Socialism TO favor the
extension OF Government control
from railroads to other occupations
and business enterprises. II the
Government owned the railroads II
probably would speedily go into the
business OF making cars and engines
and conducting steel works, and
there are many other lines Of work
that IT might take up--in fact. any
one has perfect right to decide in
his own mind how far the State
should go in that direction. That is
not Socialism-it is simply carrying
out policies that existed long before
Socialism existed. and which Social
ism has appropriated and is endeav-
oring TO claim as its own. Never
before was the vast majority OF the
human race as well clothed and fed
as today. and n the conditions are
yet far from ideal the wonderful
progress OF the past is q sure guar
antee OF the progress yet to come.
Socialism would tear down. not build
up. thus for instance The ideal

AGREE WITH BETS.

We rather like the definition of a
boss as explained by Brother Belts
of Lyons. Here is the way it appeals
to him:
A boss is a man who has the char
acter, the intelligence and the
influence to succeed. An anti-boss
is a man who has neither the charac-
ter, the intelligence nor the influence
to succeed. The man who is for you
is a leader, the man who is against
you is boss. That is all there is to
the boss question.
Has anyone got a more pointed
or comprehensive explanation OF
the matter?

HELP THEM.

The Sisters of the Convent of the
Good Shepherd on Eighth street,
Louisville-the cradle and original
mother house of the Sisters of the
Good Shepherd in North America
ask their friends and they, in turn,
each to ask three of their friends, to
give them a dime-ten cents--to as
sist them in securing a new convent
in locality more suitable for re-
ligious community In so doing they
have the approval of the Right
Reverend Bishop of Louisville, as
will be seen by the following letter:
Bishops House, Louisville, Sep
TENDER 7, 1914.-The plan proposed
by the Sisters of the Good Shepherd,
on Eighth street, Louisville, to Sc
cure means for the establishment of
house in better location than the
one they now occupy, very much
needed, is heartily approved.
1t is hoped that this appeal will
meet with a liberal response. This
is the first convent of the Sisters of
the Good Shepherd founded in the
United States; and in the long
period of it's existence the Sisters,
hidden from public view, have with
much sacrifice and discomfort to
themselves. labored for the welfare
and the uplifting of the fallen and
abandoned poor.
Let the people of Louisville then,
and others to whom this appeal may
come, help the good cause with a
generous hand. + ID. O'Donaghue,
Bishop of Louisville.

Made in Endeavor to Poison the
Minds Of People of
Lead.
Frowns Upon Organization For
Spiritual and Intellectual
Improvement.
LESSON IN THIS CASE IS CLEAR

The reports of the Central Bureau
of the Central Verein on the inves-
tigation by the United States Com
mission on Industrial Relations of
the conditions in Lead, s. d., pub
lished in the various Catholic papers
Of the country, have aroused the
wrath of the Lead Daily Call, the
mouthpiece of the Homestake Mining
Company. In its issue of August %
the Call reiterates its previous at
tacks on Bishop Busch, declaring
that the whole trouble has arisen out
of his "egomania," and draws up a
lengthy indictment of the Bishop
covering a full half-page. In this
TRADE there occurs a sentence which,
because of the fact 1t furnishes the
key to the whole attitude of the
Homestake Company, is worthy of
quotation. HE (the Bishop)," SO
the writing runs, "sent an outline to
the Superintendent of the Homestake
for the formation of Catholic
workingmen's guild in the camp that
would, had it been carried out, have
practically turned the management
of affairs in the camp to the Bishop
The charge in this quotation
against the Bishop is absolutely
ridiculous, but it is inserted to poison
the minds of the people of Lead and
to draw up before them the drear
vision of ecclesiastical tyranny. The
company, too, jealous of its power,
fears the advent of any one who may
in any way modest it, suspecting
every agency that will not bend its
knee before 1t of desiring to usurp
it's place. The important thing in
dictated, however, is the absolute
denial of the right of the workers to
organize into associations of any
kind. In Canada organizations such
as those mentioned by Bishop Busch
have been formed in several places,
and it was the constitution of the
one at Chicoutimi that he referred
to the Superintendent of the Home
stake Company, asking him, since he
was opposed to the Western Fedora
ton of Miners, if he would consent
to this form of association, which
concerned itself mainly with the
spiritual and intellectual improve
ment of the men. But even this was
frowned upon.
The lesson in this case is clear.
Such great concerns as the Home
stake Mining Company wish to DENY
their men the right to organize, not
merely into certain organizations,
but into any organization. They
want them in all things to be de-
pendent upon the all-wise company.
Time after time in recent Industrial
disputes has the song been sung by
certain companies affected that their
objection to organization among the
men lay in the particular union then
in existence. In some instances this
claim may have been put forth in
good faith, but from the actions of
such companies as the Homestake,
we discover that many of these bust
nesses are opposed to the funda-
mental right to organize, which has
ever been championed by the Cath
Ollie church as natural right of man,
embedded in the natural law. 1t is
important that this fact be clearly
recognized. C. B. of C. ".

AS a tribute TO the memory OF
Michael Feeney, an old employe OF

Company. all of the street cars OF
Lexington were stopped for three
minutes Friday morning when his

several years ago.
