that a new era would dawn with the
advent of woman suffrage But
women are not greatly different
from their husbands in this respect
1t is the indifference of the good men
and women that permits the reign of
evil to go unchecked.
In the first flush Of their en-
thusiasm for the ballot women may
sweep aside many abuses that men
have tolerated. We hope they will
But they will have to keep at the
good work increasingly If they would

They ask for a heavy responsibility
in asking for the ballot. We fear
that most of them are more con-
cerned with getting what they con-
ceive to be their rights than with
the burden they will assume when
they get them.

CONVICTION.

Their many friends were given
quite a surprise when it became
known that Miss Kitty Powers and
Attorney Maurice l.. Calvin were
quietly married Monday night by the
Rev Father James Corey, secretary
to Right Rev. Bishop G. p. Macs, in
the rectory of the latter in Coving-
ton. Mr.. and Mrs. William King, of
Lexington, sister and brother-in-law,
acted as maid of honor and best
man, and l.. b. and Hanseford Will
son as witnesses. The bride formerly
lived in Augusta and TT. Thomas,
but of late in the Marzella with her
mother. She is prominent in social
circles and said to be one of the
prettiest women In the State. Mr..
Calvin is brother OF former Vice
Mayor John Calvin, of Cincinnati;
was Collector OF Internal Revenue OF
the Sixth district of Kentucky and
one of the best known attorneys in
the State. The couple left after the
ceremony for Florida. accompanied
by Mr.. Galvin's two children, Grace

DEMANDS JUSTICE.

The San Francisco Leader de-
mahds Justice for the memory OF
Commodore Jack Barry, and that
his monument, which will soon be
erected in Washington, be properly
inscribed. Urging prompt and
decisive action, the Leader sets forth
as reason the following statement of
Congressman James p Slayden:
1.-The members of the Barry Com
mission could not find, as l remem-
Der it, sufficient historical support
TO warrant them in naming Com
modore Barry as the Father of the
American Navy. That honor was
claimed by others, and to avoid
controversy the commission decided
upon the inscription last quoted. 90
Just who the "others" are who
could with justice be styled Father
of the American Navy" we would
like to know. One other" has
been set up for this honor,
John Paul Jones, but Jones has
been proven to be sailor of
fortune, one whose services wers
at the disposal of any govern
ment that presented the proper
inducements. There is no "other. I"
To John Barry, first Commodore of
the American navy, friend and CO.
worker of the immortal Washington,
belongs by every right the title of
Father of the American Navy"
We ask kind cooperation through
out the United States in seeing that
justice is done in this instance to
the memory of the illustrious Jack"
Barry.

SHOULD PROTEST.

Since the publication in these
columns last week OF communica-
ton relating to the distribution OF
the Menace, Peril and other A. y. A.
literature by Edward NJ. Hughes,
conductor on the c. and o. train
which runs between Louisville and
Ashland. the Kentucky Irish Ameri-
can has heard from many Catholics
and Catholics in regard to the
pernicious activity OF this sell
appointed A. p. A. dissemination OF
anti-Catholic literature to the pa
irons of e public service corporation
of which he is an agent, and whose
duties. in the opinion of the general
public. should consist in devoting
his time to the care and comfort oil
the C. and o. patrons instead OF
promoting a campaign of religious
prejudice and hatred. Lately to his
stock of A. p. A. literature Hughes
has added little pamphlet which
rehashes that oft denied and proven
falsehood Of the assassinations OF
Presidents Lincoln, Garfield and
Mckinley by Catholics, our local
A. p. A. apostle not knowing or
refusing to acknowledge that Booth
was a Mason, Guiteau Second Ad-
ventist preacher and Czolgosz an
anarchist with no religion. But
aside from this, the c. and o. rail
road as common carrier and public
servant can not and furthermore
must not allow its Catholic patrons
to be openly insulted, and a united
protest should be made Immediately
to the officials of the road.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

The woman suffragists of Ken
lucky. like those of Nebraska and
other States, are working hard in
order that woman suffrage may be
submitted to the voters. Like the
reverend editor of the Omaha True
Voice. we have not yet been asked
to assist them. And also like him,
we are just as we'll satisfied that we
we're not. Perhaps the women are,
too, and so there is no ground for
complaint. Here are the views ex-
pressed by Father Cannon, with
whom but few will disagree:
We have nothing against woman
suffrage; but we have never advo-
Gated II enthusiastically. The fact
is we have never been able to place
much confidence in the roseate
hopes OF the suffragists for a new
heaven on earth once they receive
the right to vote. They mean we'll
no doubt; and there is plenty of
room for reform in the politics of
the nation. State and city. In spite
OF several reform" waves during
the last few years. politics in this
country can not be said to have
improved much during the past
twenty years, The "reformers" have
been little better than those they
started out 10 reform.
There Is little likelihood that the
advent of women into the political
arena viii work a great change In
conditions. It would appear that In
our cities at least their influence
should make for diminution Of the
saloon evil and for cleaner moral
conditions. But the history OF the

EQUALITY.

Just now there Is much talk in
Louisville about equal rights, and
equality of whites and blacks, some
wise and some very foolish. This
subject was most intelligently treated
in last weeks issue of the Cincinnati
Catholic Telegraph. which says:
We are sometimes forced, at least
for a time, to think that the misun-
derstanding of the American idea of
equality is responsible for much of
the discomfort everywhere prevalent.
A great many people seem to i'm
agine that the spirit of the United
States demands equality of eating
and drinking. clothing and housing,
leisure and pleasure, on the part OF
the citizens, whereas the constitu-
ton of the country guarantees
simply equality before the law,
1t isn't a very rare sight to see a
young man, whose family was only
few years ago an object of public
charity, treating himself and his best
girl to an elaborate supper at an
expensive hotel or restaurant after
enjoying a two-dollar show at a
theater; nor does he think the price
of an occasional automobile ride be-
yond his deserts. Other people have
these pleasures; why should not he
This is land of equality.
1t is almost common enough to be
the rule for girls, poor or in mod
crate circumstances, to dress beyond
their means in an attempt to clothe
themselves in the style and richness
of women of great wealth.
Everywhere this miserable strug-
gle for an equality. that is impossible
and would be undesirable If 1t were
possible, is going on, causing dis
content, envy and suffering.
We would not for a moment dis
courage reasonable effort on the part
of the lowly to improve their condi-
ton; on the contrary, we would wish
to stimulate everyone to better his
position in the world; but 1t is really
pitiable to witness the sordid, futile
efforts of some people to live beyond
their resources.
There is after all very little
equality in the world. All Of us are
equal as human beings in the sight
of God; but before Him some of us
are saints, and some are sinners.
We are all equal before the law
or We should be. But physically,
mentally and in many other ways II
would be rash to say that any two
of us are equal.
We commend a careful perusal
and study of the foregoing to those
who are opposing proper regulation

would injure our best residence

ASH WEDNESDAY.

February rs will be Ash Wednes-
day, the first day of Lent. Ashes
will be distributed in our churches
after the services. The impressive
ceremony of placing portion of
blessed ashes on the heads of the
faithful with the words, "Remem-
Der, man, that thou art dust, and
into dust thou shalt return" takes
us back to mans first unhappy
fall which brought down upon the
fair face of the newly created
universe the gloomy cloud of death.
The sprinkling of ashes on the head
Is associated now, as il was in the
Old Testament. with mourning and
sorrow and penance. AS the church
uses them the ashes are one of the
sacramentals, their ceremonial eff
caoy depending not on any inherent
virtue, as in the case OF the sacra-
ments, but upon the disposition of
the penitent. that Is of the person
who receives them. The ashes which
will be blessed on this Ash Wednes-
day win be obtained by burning the
palm branches used in the procession
of last Palm Sunday. The palm is the
emblem OF peace. But the palm re-
duced to ashes can never more re-
cover its beautiful verdure. Nature
can not restore the beauty which is
gone. SO the ashes are a reminder
that the life OF grace once lost can
never be recovered by any inherent
power of our own. Therefore we
should approach the altar to receive
the ashes with great humility and
conscious that by mortal
sin we are dead before God, and that
only a penitent spirit can bring back
divine grace, which is the souls life.
The reception of the ashes is our
solemn pledge Of determination to do
penance.
