WORTHY OF NOTE.

The death of the late Bishop
Doran of Providence. X. L.. was
the occasion of resolutions cx.
pressing feelings of regret by the
Congregational ministers OF
Rhode Island and the Ministers
Union of Providence. The reso.
lutions adopted by the different
bodies read as follows:
Through the entire commu-
nifty and state the members of the
Rhode Island Congregational
Ministers Association in their an,
nual meeting assembled, would
express their sincere sense OF loss
in the untimely and unexpected
death of Bishop Doran.
I'VE feel that III his going from,
us we have lost strong and Wig
orous champion of righteousness
and one who was always ready
and willing to cooperate in any
movement that looked for the
Fastening of the Kingdom of God
on earth.
Wherefore, be it resolved, That
we extend our sympathies to the
great church of which he was an
honored leader: to the many men
and women who have shared in
and been inspired by his vision
and who feel in his death the loss
of a personal friend. and to all
those who have labored with him
in the great task for which he
gave his life"
The Ministers Union. adopted
the following resolution:
'Whereas, The Minister'S Union
of Providence and vicinity, having
learned with sorrow of the death
of Bishop Thomas F. Doran it is
voted that we express our appre-
citation of his exalted Christian
character, of the breadth of his
sympathies and of our sense of

for appearing on the streets with their
brown habits
Another member of the Council, Mr..
John Smith, told of scene which he
and other citizens Of the town had
witnessed at the outbreak of the war.
IF some Of the Local Government
Board" he said, were in Athlone at
the mobilization they would have seen
the soldiers called up starving on the
streets because the military authori-
ties could not accommodate them, and
the Franciscan Fathers bringing them
down to their monastery and feeding
them out of the little they got from
the people for themselves. If they saw
that, as and so many others did, they
would not regard them as outlaws -"
Only bigotry, as brutal as it is
blinded, could brand as outlaws"
persons who have thus lived up to the
teachings of dear St. Francis of Assist
The bigots responsible for this attempt
to revive the penal laws in Ireland
may find that they have overreached
themselves. What they have accom-
plished is the riveting of the atten-
ton of the public, both in Ireland and
Britain, upon the possibility of en-
forcing the penalties provided by the
most atrocious laws that ever defiled
the Statute Book of civilized coun-
try. A correspondent of the Dublin
Freeman's Journal, dealing with this
4! revival of anti-Catholic bigotry in it's
most repellent shape, suggests that
Sir Matthew Nathan, Under Secretary
for Ireland and virtual ruler of that
country, should make a clean sweep
of all the property of the religious
orders in Ireland"
mo outlaw" writes the correspond
ent, "has any legal right to have or to
hold any real estate or property and
Sir Matthew Nathan would be neglect
ing his manifest duty if he did not
take care to secure the reversion of
the property which Franciscans and
other OUTLAWS" have accumulated
with the aid of illegal abettors. Why
| should not Sir Matthew take an inven-
tory of these outlaws" and have them
utilized for public purposes?"
That would be the logical result of
classifying as Outlaws" men and
women who have consecrated their
lives to the services of humanity. If
the British Government is unwilling to
go this length, then it should take
steps to make it impossible for any
Jack-in-ofiice to insult it's Catholic sub
jects in the manner in which the Lo-
cal Government Board in Ireland has
done. 1t is standing reproach to the
British Government that the penalties
embodied in the atrocious laws enact
ed for the purpose of stamping out
the Catholic religion in Great Britain
and Ireland were not repealed long
since. It is surprising that the Catho.
lies of the United Kingdom have not
purged the Statute Book of all traces
of the infamous penal laws.

WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR
HIBERNIANISM.

There is bill now pending be-
fore both branches of the national
legislature of Importance to
Hibernians. The object OF the bill
is to obtain from the national gov
eminent site for the monument
to the "Nuns of the Battlefield"
Write to your Congressman and
request him to vote for the bill
which directs the Secretary OF
War to apportion site for the
monument to the Nuns of the
Battlefield"
Interest your division i'll this
project, so that every member of
the A. O. II. will use his personal
influence with your representative
in Congress.
An appeal is directed to every
member of the Hibernians and
the Ladies Auxiliary of the United
States by the National President
Joseph Mclaughlin i'll the recent
issue of the National Hibernian
from which we quote the follow
ing:
"Thc prospect OF erecting this
monument inaugurated by the
National President of the Ladies
Auxiliary, Mrs. Ellen Ryan Jolly,
stirs to the depths the feelings Of
all Irish American Catholics. No
narrative of sacrifice, of patrio-
tism and of Christian humility
could surpass the story OF the ser
vices of the Nuns of the Battle
field Gifted writer's have painted
their deeds in words that are wet
with tears. Their sufferings we're
borne in silence; they did their
duty with smile OF joy; they
moved to the place of trial or
danger with that celestial sweet
ness which can only spring from
the soul of the Christian. They
served The nation in it's hours of
travail. Yet the Nation forgot
the services until the Ladies
Auxiliary approached the tickle
memory of mankind and turned
the page of history so that the
light of fame could illumine it be-
fore the eyes of the children of
the men those Nuns lived and
died to serve. Many monuments
have been erected by reverent
hands in the city parks, the
thoroughfares of teeming marts,
on historic fields of carnage, and
over green graves in silent ceme-
teries to Irish-American heroes,
poets and statesman. But no
memorial yet shaped by Irish
hands will appeal to posterity with
the same exaltation of loving
honor as will this memorial which
shall stand as a sign of Irish
gratitude and proof that, al
though historians and govern
ments may forget, The Ancient
Order of Hibernians and it's
Ladies Auxiliary do not forget
those who live and die for God
and Country"

Would Renew Penal Laws

Declaring members of Catholic re-
lgtous order OUTLAWS" in the most
Catholic country in Europe-that is
what took place recently in Ireland
The story, as told in the columns of
the Dublin Freeman's Journal, fur
nishes interesting reading. The Local
Government Board brought to task a
number of the Athlone Town Council
for renting the rates to monastery
of the Franciscan Fathers. Under a
clause Of the Penal Laws that is still
unrepealed, members of Catholic re.
ligious orders are outlaws. Conse-
quently the Franciscan Fathers who
had been exempted from the payment
of taxes have no legal standing in Ire
land. The reason given by the Ath-
lone Town Council for not taxing the
Franciscans was that the Fathers had
no money. In accordance with the
spirit of st. Francis of Assist, the
Founder of the Order, they had spent
what little they had in feeding the
poor of Athlone. But English law de.
creed them to be Outlaws" and as
such they had no right to perform the
corporal works of charity which had
earned for them the respect and love
of the inhabitants of Athlone.
Such was the ruling of the Local
Government Board, ruling that was
emphasized by imposing surcharge
upon the members of the Athlone
Council, who had allowed their appre.
citation of the work done by the Fran.
ciscan Fathers to take precedence of
their respect for English statute law
The action of the Local Government
Board in Furnishing them for so doing
is equivalent to notifying them that
they should have known that the sons
of st. Francis of Assist are placed by
English law in the same category with
criminals who may be arrested and
imprisoned on sight. The members of
the Athlone Council who have been
penalized in the form of surcharge
for not taking the outlaw view in
respect to these heroes of charity,
show that they belong to "the fighting
race" They have made it known that
they will not pay penny of the sur.
charge.
One of their number, Mr.. Burke, in
dealing with the subject, said: "The
Local Government Board have select.
ed queer time, when we are in the
height of world war, to air their re-
ligious bigotry by reviving the penal
statues against the Franciscan Faith.
ers." He went on to say that the
British Parliament does not regard the
Franciscans as outlaws, as many of
them at this moment are serving as
chaplains with the British army at the
front.
The member of the Athlone Council
we have quoted, expressed his sur
prise that the Government authorities
who have classified the Franciscans
as outlaws" did not go the whole
way and get the Franciscans arrested

In connection with reference to these
chapters that the work was written
and issued more than 100 years ago.,
Henry Plantagenet, King of Ireland
and the first of the French race, had
long entertained thoughts of extend
ing his power over Ireland. The crazy
state of the Scotic Constitution, long
rent by intestine disorders, fattered
his ambition, and the perverse licen-
tiousness of rival princes reused it.
Several obstacles, however, hindered
the improvement of this favorable
con1uncture, and although any scru-
pie arising from the injustice of the
cause was not really of the number,
yet the want of any claim or preten.
sion to this nation was, and probably
was one of the chiefest. To remove
this obstacle one expedient was, in
those wretched times, absolutely nec-
essary-an alliance with the Court of
Rome' In a seeming regard for the
good OF Christianity; and that in an
instance, where the laws of religion
must be tortured and its plainest die

the Inauguration of the superior coun-

The labor entailed in the prepare
