LIKES THE SOUTH.

Attorney ]. j. Kavanagh, who was
the st. Patrick's day orator at
Mobile, Ala, arrived home Che first
of the week, and is loud in praise OF
Mobile and its citizens. During his
stay there he had the great pleasure
of meeting Right Rev. Bishop Allen,
Bankers McDermott and Staples,
John A. Hughes, Major Glennon, Col.
s. j. Lyons, Hon. II. A. Craft, Dr..
Rabbi Moses and others prominent in
the business and social life of the
city. Mr.. Kavanagh says Mobile is
one of the most progressive cities he
ever visited, with the hospitality of
the South and the hustle and hustle
of the North evident on every side
The city is metropolitan in every
respect, and the st. Patrick's day
parade and banquet equalled those
of New York, Boston, Philadelphia or
Chicago, where the sons of Erin are
more numerous. He was also struck
by the bay and harbor, which are
only rivaled by the Bay of Naples
Mr.. Kavanagh also spent several
days in New Orleans, where he was
entertained by Walter Higgins, for
merly of Louisville; DR.. Felix
Gaudin, Raoul Ruz, James B. Pike
and T. G. Poole. His trip was most
and he says that he now
likes no section of the country better
than the South.

ST. MARY's CHURCH.

Tomorrow evening at 1880 O'Clock
there will be beautifully impressive
ceremony at st. Mary's church,
Eighth and Grayson streets, of which
the Rev. Father b. H. Westermann
is pastor. This will be the blessing
of a most artistic and handsome ST.
Joseph group, the work of one of
Germany's most famous artists. 1t
was received here this week and was
at once placed in position just out
side the altar railing. 1t depicts the
death of St. Joseph, with the Saviour
on the right and the Blessed Virgin
on the left side, the figures being
life size, the whole being about
twenty feet in height. The facial eS-
preston of each figure is sublime
and portray the feelings of the three
most forcibly. This group is indeed
a real work of art and is the gift of
a lady, who desires that her name
remain unknown. The blessing will
be made memorable by the presence
of those priests who were ordained
from this parish and the old mem
bers, all cf whom are extended an
invitation to be present by Father
Westermann. The blessing will take
place during the solemn vespers,
when Father Westermann will be as
sisted by Fathers Reverman, Weiss
and John O'Connor. Rev. Father
Schuhmann, of st. Johns, will
preach the sermon. The choir will
render a special musical programme,
and all the old members and friends
of st. Mary's will be welcome.

LEXINGTON.


John e. Fitzgerald. born in Mason
county forty-five years ago, but a
resident of Lexington for the greater
part of his life, died Saturday at his
home in that city following an ILL
ness of several months duration.
Ten years ago the deceased entered
the City Auditors office as a deputy
under Mayor Thomas A. Combs and
was appointed Auditor to succeed
Moses Kaufman when the Commis-
sion Government when into effect in
January, 1913. He was considered
one of the most expert accountants
in the State and was an unusually
popular official. He was the son of
John c. Fitzgerald. who for many
years had the contract to repair the
road and keep the toll gate on this
end of the Lexington and Maysville
pike. Mr.. Fitzgerald never married,
and surviving him are his aged
mother, Mrs. Johanna Fitzgerald; a
brother, w. G. Fitzgerald, Secretary
of the Central Construction Com
pany, and three sisters, Misses Kath-
crime, Margaret and Josephine-all
OF Lexington. He Yves a member Of
the Y. M. l. and OF the Knights OF
Columbus, and was one OF the most
widely known and highly respected
men in the Bluegrass section.

and which is attested to by the diff
ferent representatives. Schneider
was also given undue credit for the
passage of the workmen's compensa-
ton bill. according to reliable
authorities.
AS predicted in the columns of the
Kentucky Irish American recently,
the proceedings of the Kentucky
State Federation of Labor. which are
just being issued, will put an awful
crimp in the Gubernatorial aspira-
tions of Agricultural Commissioner
Newman, as It contains photograph
checks of one-fourth of the annual
salary of former Labor Inspector
Ben Sand, same being indorsed by a
n. Mccarthy and then in turn by
Newman himself, which role is not
very consistent with the high and
mighty attitude he assumed when
dismissing Sand for exposing the
labor record of the then Bull Moose
candidate for Mayor, and which at
titude was highly approved of by
the Haldeman papers, which in their
further regard for Democracy en-
deavored to show the Democratic
campaign committee in the light of
falsifier< after the recent election.
Now that It is practically con-
ceded that Congressman Swagar
Sherley will have no opposition In
the Democratic primary of August
next, the attention of all the local
politicians is being directed to the
judicial nominations of the August
primary of 1915. which is free-for-
all one, and to date there have been
many names suggested for entrance
in the contest for the six Democratic
Judgeship Nominations, among whom
are Charles F. Taylor, Clem Huggins,
Lorraine Mix, Edward P. Humphrey,
Eugene Atkisson, Merit O'Neal,
Thomas A. Barker, R. J. Hagan, r.
w. Bingham, Robert L. Page, Morton
K. Yonts, Thomas Walsh and others.
It is also expected that Judges
Lincoln, Field, Quarles, Smith, Cor
don and Gregory will all be candi-
dates for reelection.

PROTEST TO SENATOR'S.

The executive officers of the Louis
Vile Federation of Catholic Societies
met last week and adopted a strong
protest against the literacy test in
the immigration bill now pending in
the United States Senate. The fol-
lowing telegraphic protest, signed by
President Peter s. Ganz and Secre-
tary Thomas j. Dolan, was sent to
Senators James and Bradley and
President Wilson:
1--WE, the officers of Jefferson
County Federation Catholic Societies,
in special meeting assembled In
Louisville. wish to register our pro-
test In the name Of $4,000 Catholics
of this county against the pending
immigration bill as to the lteracy
test, as such measure Is too re-
strictive. proscriptive. unreasonable
and un-American."
Senator James presented the pro-
test In the Senate on Wednesday,
together With others from this city.
Newport, Coyington, Latonia and
Dayton. The sentiment In Kentucky
is AGAINST the Burnett bill as II now
stands. .l,.t

ALWAYS LABoR's FRIEND.

Socialists and numerous other
clans of their ilk strive to persuade
thoughtful people that the Catholic
church has ever been allied with
what they derisively term capital" :"
BY this they mean that the church
has taken her stand on the side of
the predatory rich" to help crush
the poor With their false state
ments they win many to their cause.
Prof. E. Francis Mohler claims that
instead of being the enemy of labor,
the Catholic church is the mother of
labor unions. He writes: "It takes
but slight knowledge of history to
refute such contentious. Labor
leaders, God save the name. have
from time to time striyen to turn
the modern labor movement to their
own personal gain with the cry that
the Catholic church is opposed to
the organization of laboring people,
and that she has ever discounten-
anced such proceedings. In the
Age of Faith purposely miscalled
by many The Dark Ages Catholics
went to the extreme of sacrifice to
erect throughout Europe those
churches and converts which are the
wonder of the world. They labored
not for years. but for centuries, put
ting into each simple task all that
was best In their nature. These un-
dertakings we're so gigantic that they
necessitated the dwelling OF the
laborers and the artists in the neigh
borhood of the work they were doing.
Vast numbers of men of trades re-
(uiring mechanical skill and long
practice built their simple dwellings
around about the work they were
engaged in. Sanctified both by their
purpose and the surroundings, mason
Glove to mason. carpenter to car
penter, goldworker to goldworker
for temporal advantage. These men
were Catholics, their work was de-
voted to Catholic purposes. These
Catholic labor unions Of the olden
day accomplished great things
which led to insurance of many
kinds, and In some OF the continental
wars their love OF country was so
strong that they were mustered into
service. Other things they did, but
In each endeavor Is apparent their
Catholic origin and their Catholic
aims.
