ST. PATRICK.

1t has been truly said that "a
nations greatness lies in men, not
acres" and judged by this stand
ard Ireland is worthy of a high
place among the nations of the
earth. In every age of her his
tory-even in her hour of deepest
gloom and humiliation-she begot
sons whose nobility Of soul and
strength of character qualified
them for lofty inches in the temple
of fame.
But on the bead-roll of her i'm
mortal sons one name outshines
the rest, one figure towers high
above all others, one leader, cast
in heroic mold, graces pedestal
of splendid isolation and compels
the loving veneration of every son
of the Gael-St. Patrick, the pa
iron of the Irish race.
No other saint has left so deep
and abiding an impression on the
people among whom he labored
and died as st. Patrick on the
people of Ireland. Fifteen cen
turtles have elapsed since he laid
down the burden of an apostolate
unparalleled in the history of
Christian missionary endeavor,
and yet his memory is as fresh
and green as the verdure Of his
adopted land and the fruit of his
labor as rich and copious as it was
in the golden age of "the Island
of Saints and Scholars. -
"A sower of infinite seed was he,
A woodman who hewed towards
the light"
1t is safe to say that no saint
is so universally honored as st.
Patrick Yeas after year, on each
recurring anniversary of his
death, his career and labors are
pictured in words sublime by mas
ter minds; the peaceful revolution
which he effected in his adopted
land, and the precious heritage
he bequeathed to his children, are
celebrated in poetry and song and
made the theme of the orator.
graceful tributes. Wherever peo-
pie of Irish birth or descent are
found and what soil has not been
pressed by their footsteps they
have kept the sacred fame of
reverential love for st. Patrick
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1914-03-21

glowing in their bosoms and have
enshrined his name and memory
in deathless remembrance in their
hearts. Each year, in recogni-
ton of all that he did for their
sire land, they raise aloft Erin s
flag with it's green immortal sham
rock, symbolic of the indissoluble
union Of faith and fatherland, and
unite in welcoming with accents
of love the feast day of their
glorious patron. In European
lands, in the distant East, beneath
the Southern Cross, and in almost
every hamlet of the Western
World, the exiled sons of Erin,
their descendants and friends
unite in paying tribute to him
whose unique privilege it was to
enrich the Church of God with
nation of saints and scholars and
loyal sons whose fidelity to the
highest ideals of Catholicity have
ever been the emulation and won
der Of the civilized world.
The Irish people whom he con-
verted to the one true faith did
not keep the precious jewel of
divine truth hidden in the re-
cesses of their sea-girt isle. They
rushed forth to evangelize the
world and lead other nations with
in the confines of the Catholic
fold. In every age Irish mission
aries have been among the pio-
neers Of the faith who planted the
seed Of Christian truth on alien
shores and laid deep and broad
the foundation Of the Church in
lands without number They
have been leaders in the onward
march of the Catholic Church
wherever the seed of Christian
truth has sent forth it's richest
poisoning. With truth did Car
dinal Manning say that Gin the
Vatican Council, no saint had so
many mitred sons as st. Patrick, "
for no people, as a whole, have
done more than the Irish for the
propagation Of the true faith.
It is not to be wondered at,
therefore, that St. Patrick's day
evokes so universal tribute in
honor Of Ireland's patron saint.
This year the commemoration of
it was more unreservedly joyful
than heretofore because Of the
hope which thrills the heart Of
every loyal Irishman that, before
many months, the century old
struggle to cast off the yoke. Of a
foreign power will have been
crowned with victory. The dawn
of a new era is about to break
over "the Niobe of nations, and
the hopes and aspirations which
have sustained her children for
weary decades will soon give
place to the unfeigned joy with
which they will acclaim her re-
entrance into the temple of ma
tiOnhOOd.

In two opinions handed down
on March II, the state supreme
court of Oregon upheld the Mini
mum Wage Law and the Ten Hour
Law passed by the last legisla-
ture. The ground on which both
were declared valid was that it
was within the police power of the
state to enact laws for the protec-
ton of the health, morals and well
fare of its citizens. The minimum
wage law is for the regulation of
the wages of women and minors by
an Industrial Welfare Commission.
The ten hour law fixes the maxi
mum limit for any employment
except that of Waterman or emer-
gency work.

A NEW ATTACK.

The Indian Appropriation Bill
which recently passed the House
Of Representatives is believed to
be a covert attack on the Sisters
who are teaching in the Indian
government schools It is sequel
to the attempt made by Commits
sioner Valentine to GUST the Sis
tiers from their positions as teach
ers in these schools by issuing the
=" Anti-garb" order which was
modified by President Taft in such
a way as to allow the present
staff Of Sisters to continue teach
ing in these schools.
True, the new measure is not
aimed directly at the Sisters AS
originally drafted by the sub-com-
mittee of Indian Affairs, at the
head of which is Representative
Stephens of Texas, it made pro-
vision for an appropriation of
81, 100000, for the support Of
Indian day and industrial schools
not otherwise provided for and
for other educational purposes IN
connection Herewith pro-
vided that no part of this appro-
priation or any other appropria-
ton provided for herein or here
after shall be paid any
employee in any position in the In
dian school service who does not
hold certificate showing that
such employee has passed the neces-
sary examination required by the
Civil Service Commission for such
position.
This provision would have
eliminated"certain employees from
the Government schools as well as
the Sisters whose entrance into
the Civil Service was covered by
an executive order and who could
not, therefore, show a certificate
that they had passed the examina-
ton required by the Civil Service
Commission.
Evidently the promoters of the
bill felt that this provision would
not be allowed to go unchallenged
and so the committee added a
clause to the effect that the pro-
visions of this bill would not apply
to "such employees as are exempt
under civil service rules"
At first it was thought that this
clause would protect the Sisters in
their civil service status, but many
Congressman were in doubt about
the matter when the bill was I'M
der consideration in the House,
and efforts were made to obtain
from Mr.. Stephens information as
to just what persons in the Indian
service would be effected by this
legislation. Mr. Stephens reply
was so unsatisfactory that the i'm
preston remained that the bill
would affect, among other en-
ployes in the Government schools,
the teaching Sisters. All efforts
to eliminate this Objectionable fea-
ture were defeated and the bill
passed the House by a majority
of nineteen. 1t has not yet been
taken up by the Indian Commit
tee of the Senate.

European dispatches announce
the appointment Of Signor Ernes-
to Nathan, former Mayor of Rome,
as Italian Commissioner to the
Panama Exposition to be held in
San Francisco next year. There
can be no doubt that the Italian
Government made a most serious
blunder in choosing for it's official
representative on such an occasion

office as Mayor Of Rome, went out
Of his way to make himself OBJ
noxious to the Holy Father and
the Catholics of the Eternal City.
He lost no opportunity to show
himself an avowed enemy Of the
Church. He is a blatant bigot
who disgraced the position he held
by unwarranted attacks on the
Papacy and vile insults hurled at
the venerable head Of the Church.
The decent, liberty-loving peo-
pie Of America, irrespective of
condition or religious afiliation,
should raise their voices in pro-
test against the affront offered to
this nation by such an appoint
ment. Many Catholic organiza-
tons have already given express
sion to their disapproval, and this
tide of justified opposition should
be swelled to such proportions
that the officials in charge Of the
Panama Exposition will not dare
to run counter to public sentiment
by accepting Nathan as the official
representative of the Italian gov
eminent.

Thomas lyman, warden of the

"More than IS per cent of the

penitentiary are the products of

dragged by their parents through

The Senate Committee to which
was referred the Burnett Immigra-

decided to report the bill to the
Senate without change. It was
hoped that, in view of the opposi-
ton to this feature, that the Sen
ate Committee would eliminate
the literacy test; but now the
matter is in the hands of the
Senators. IF they follow prece-
dent they will pass the bill with
this Objectionable clause, and it
will then go to the president for
final action. A similar bill was
vetoed by Presidents Cleveland
and Taft.
