FATHER PHALAN DEAD.

Rev. David S. Phelan, editor Of the
Western Waterman which he founded
in 1865, and pastor of Our Lady of
Mt Carmel church, st. Louis, died on
Tuesday. Father Phalen was born in
1871 at Sydney, Nova Scotia. He was
ordained in 1868. He was an editor
of much ability and forceful writer.
Among his books are The Gospel
Applied to Our Times-Christ the
Preacher, and three different books
compiled from the French. Father
Phalen was one of the best known
Catholic editors in the country. He
delighted in friendly controversy. He
never hesitates to speak out his mind,
whether complimentary or uncompli-
mentary. His publication, The West
ern Waterman is one of the most
widely read publications. His pointed
remarks and the expression of his per-
sonal opinions often got him into diff
ficulty The Irish Standard is sorry
to learn of the death of Father Phalen;
we enjoyed the Western Waterman.
Father Phalen's trenchant pen will be
missed among Catholic readers.

THE LOAN TO THE ALLIES.


What does the loan to the Allies
mean? That is the pertinent question
which the Americans are asking them.
selves. The West is asking the ques-
tion-what will it do for the lumber
ing interests? The South is asking
what will it do for the cotton inter-
ests? The central states of the North
west have been told that it will mean
the moving of the wheat crop. What
the Allies want is munitions. Canada
has wheat in unlimited quantities.
tiful crops in all the countries of Eu-
rope. This does not mean that the
Allies need to buy wheat. That rep
resentatives of the Allied government
would come here to make a loan to
buy food stuffs of any kind does not
seem reasonable. They want war sup
plies and they want them badly. Who
is going to be the guardian of tho
billion dollar loan, il it is made? Who
will supervise its spending, to see that
it is spent for food stuffs? Already
thousands upon thousands of dollars
have been withdrawn from banks in
different sections of the country, not
only as a protest against the loan, but
as a desire to protect the interests
of America. In making the loan 1t
is plain that an attempt has been
made to maintain London and Paris
as the financial centers of the world,
and make the> English pound supreme.
With a billion dollar loan to their
credit the national policy of this coun-
try regarding the war is in absolute
control of the countries interested In
the loan. The protest made by the
withdrawal of deposits from banks is
an effective one. A commercial al
lance with the allied nations is dan
gerous, both In precedent and in prin-
ciple. Handing over our reserve cash
to the control of any number of for
eign countries is most serious mat
ter. The details of the expenditure
are minor matters. The American
public can not be satisfied with the
explanation of those who can and will
make millions out of this financial
deal. 1t is too soon to predict all the
evil consequences which will follow
this radical departure from the safe
position we have maintained from
keeping free from both political and
financial foreign entangling alliances.

RED CROSS BENEFIT.

General Samuel Pearsons, repre-

garian Red Cross organization will de-
liver a lecture at the auditorium in
Minneapolis on the evening of Octo-
Der 9Th, for the benefit of the Red
Cross, a society of which he is the Off
cial representative in this country.
Seven thousand feet of war pictures
will be shown at the same time, illus
trating every phase of German mill
tary activities in the war zone at the
present time. The nature of the films,
the details of military life with which
they deal, will give the audience an
insight into military matters, impos-
sible to obtain in any other way. The
personality of the lecturer, General
Pearsons, guarantees the value of the
program at the auditorium in way
that should command the attention
Of every individual interested in pub
lie affairs. During the Boer war; Gen.
eral Pearsons espoused the cause of
the Beers in South Africa. and his
services in their behalf were recog-
nized by the important position which
he held in the Boer army. He was
sent as their representative to the
United States to solicit sympathy in
behalf of their cause and explain his
mission to the president of the
United States. 1t may not be surpris-
ing to know that Roosevelt. then presi.
dent of the United States. was neither
interested nor sympathetic with the
gallant Beers in their fight for free.

Scranton, Pa. With his family he was
living in Europe when the war broke

He is a man of wide experience, and
has fund of information in all mat
tiers concerning the war. and knows
the country of Europe intimately. His
lecture at the Auditorium on October

Sunday, Sept. 9Th, Most Rev. Ed
ward J. Hanna, D. D., dedicated the
costly memorial to the late Arch
bishop Patrick w. Riordan, of San
Francisco, which has been erected in
the Knights of Columbus building.
The bas-relief is the work of Sculp-
tor Joseph Mora of that city, who has
been engaged in its production for
about six months. 1t is cast in endur-
ing bronze, and is supported by an or
namental stand holding an open book
in which are engrossed the resolu-
lions adopted by the knights.
The sculptor has perpetuated the
features of the late Archbishop with
consummate skill, and surrounded his
profile with prayerful angels. In the
arch at the top is represented the
burial of our Lord in the tomb, and
below. in Latin, are inscribed the Of
ficial ecclesiastical titles of Arch
bishop Riordan.

ALIKE BEFORE THE LAW.

Governor Phillip of Wisconsin,
made some timely utterances at the
laying of the corner stone of the new
Knights of Columbus club house in
Milwaukee recently. The principles
of religious liberty affirmed as prin-
ciples of the American government,
were emphasized by the governor. The
hearty response which greeted his ut
terances gave sufficient evidence of
the desire of his audience to coop
crate in carrying out the foundation
principles of American religious lib.
erty which was the theme of Cover.
nor Phillips utterances. Referring to
the subject, the governor made these
telling remarks concerning the posi-
ton and rights of all religions in the
eyes of the law, he said:
Religion Is matter of conscience
and everyone has a right to follow
the dictates of his conscience" he de.
clared.
1T is with the deepest regret that
we see in this country feeling OF
religious intolerance. Those senti.
ments have no place in the twentieth
century. In the position I now hold
it has been said to me don't do this
and don't do that. That man is a
Catholic and that man is Protestant
To all Of these questions I have the
same answer.
"The church and state should for
ever remain separate. 1t matters not
whether a man is a Catholic or a
Protestant; he stands alike before the
law.
Whoever says that Catholic is
not good citizen does not know him.
The Catholic is made of the sort of
stuff that built up good Union army,

Pope Benedict is untiring in his ef-

PEACE CONVENTION ADDRESS
Continued from page 2.)

Columbia speaking to the. emigrant;
Columbia speaking to the refugee from
hundred lands, from hundred sun
kissed plains, telling them, Lay down
your burdens upon the shores of my
new Republic; lay down your griefs
by the waters edge, here is "a new
temple dedicated to humanity, and out
upon the prairies and by my flowing
streams, bright as the streams of sill
yer, you shall have your future home,
where poverty shall not come and the
hand of tyranny shall never crush"
And they have come, and they have
peopled the lands, and they have sung
the poems Of glory and they have
brought their children forth in patriot
ism and righteousness in Americas
sublime humanity.
Oh, America was humane when,
looking over her cotton fields stretched
under her torrid sun, she saw the
slave of America bending in clanking
CHAINS and looking down to his end
less toll; America spoke to her peo-
pies and called them to a task that
humanity required, but sacrifice was
necessary. They made crimson the
cotton fields and sank to everlasting
rest in the land where the slave found
lncessant toll, but in the heroic strug-
gle for a better day and before the
nnal hour came they had unlocked the
gives and piled into one heap the
chains of the millions and babe them
turn their faces from the sod to the
sun in freedom.
America was humane when her SOL
dlers marched forth to the war with
the order from their splendid CON-
mander to gather the wounded enemy
from his battlefield and bring him as
their brother to their own camp fire.
These were the days Of Americas hui
manity and they are the flaming pages
Of American patriotism and American
honor.
When American Is False to Herself.
America is not humane now when
she allows the pathways Of the sea to
be crossed by the warships of a hos.
tile nation and leaves the products of
our empires of grain in our own har-
bors and unanchored in the ports be-
You'd the water while the millions cry
for bread that we cannot bestow upon
them in their hunger. America is not
humane when she turns her factories
from useful pursuits of national de-
yelopment into the mandatory of in
struments meant to destroy the human
race, and instead of their products turn
America into land of plenty, turn Eu--
rope into a charnal house of death.
The time has come for American con-.
science to assert itself; the time has
come for American manhood to rise in
Its might and proclaim the virtue of
the land; the time has come for us to
open the seas and feed the hungry, to,
close the mills and stop the slaughter,
aud that is the. purpose of this as
sembly called from every quarter of
the great America.
When we have accomplished that.
we write the glorious deeds of hui
manity in this age that should be writ
ten; when that is done, we can then
look with confidence upon posterity
giving us place in Americanism and
civilization, placing us beside the
glorious periods that were crowned
with the splendid men of the race on
back through the glorious time when
the world was redeemed and mankind:
exalted by the splendid figure of the.
mighty Washington.
