lines the necessity and Importance
of an Irish Race Convention when
he says:
Every portion of the island
should be planted, under proper
instruction, to gain the largest
harvest, not to feed England, but
to be retained with the utmost
vigilance for home consumption.
No price should tempt the people
to part with the food within their
reach to be exported as usual.
Pay no debts with it as of old,
and resist every attempt to seize
it. The first struggle for indie
pendence will be made on this is
sue, and will simply be one of life
or death. With this war and the
great demand for food, Ireland,
without this precaution, is
doomed to suffer from famine
which may easily exterminate the
race. At no time has the future
welfare of Ireland been in greater
jeopardy than at present"

Congratulates Mayor Curley

The Hon. James M. Curley, Mayor of

to the everlasting glory of the Irish
race,
Dearly Beloved Mayor Curley:
What shall say to you to convey
to you even the trillionth part of the
pride and satisfaction feel in your
splendid philippe against 1--WE Anglo.
Saxons, antecedent, Mr.. Moors? It
sounds like I'VE the tailors of Tooley
St."
l could not tell you how many a
time, reread your superb castigation
of the puny presumption, rife and
rampant, in certain secluded, and self
styled intellectual (?) sections of Bos
ton. How finely and deftly your ex
ploded their cobweb theory of Saxon
superiority! And some of your pc
RODS poured out with Niagara elo
quence that makes Cicero's speech
against Catiline wan and weak. Again
they came out with the tremendous
energy of medieval catapult. All
could say was THANK God" and
would to God our Irish mothers, in
Guiding my own exiled mother, who
came broken-hearted to Boston, in
that same English made famine epoch
were alive to hear their holy cause
INDICATED by a mayor of Boston Of
Irish Blood
In those days the gentle-hearted (?)
Anglo-Saxon had as merciless slo
gan, mo Irish need apply" The Irish
did apply, but the application was
along the lines of industry, economy
and the firm determination to give tt
their children the education which 8
brutal Anglo-Saxon government had
denied, for centuries, to the children
of the beloved green isle.

Emigration from Ireland in
1915 dropped to the surprisingly
low figure of 5000. This says
the Catholic Advance of Wichita,

land-(If it were as difficult and
as nearly impossible for men who
went to Kansas in the years that
have passed to get out of that
state as it is for men to leave Ire
land now, men would be as numer-
Gus in Kansas as toads are in
Egypt. Ireland has less than half
the population it had so years ago.

land a desert that she might cali
it peace, has fairly we'll sue

I've read works before that fired my
blood with enthusiasm, burning words,
which upheld the sacred cause of Ire
lands glory, but outside of Father
Cavanaugh's "Vindication of the
Hyphen" nothing in recent years has
made me feel SO triumphant as your
success in putting the debris of small
and conceited coterie of bigots in mag
nificent Boston in its proper place.
And all so fearlessly, so plainly, so un-
mistakably. You surely struck the
solar plexus In Moors' anatomy. It will
take some time for the elderly gent"
on the Finance Commission to get his
second wind after these gladiatorial
round-ups. My tongue was actually in.
toxicated tripping over the judicious
wordy ammunition, which, with the
strength and purity of diction of an
Edmund Burke you taught the autocrat
of the Back Bay English Tea Party
a lesson in Irish-American history
which he will not soon forget.
Well! God love and bless you, our
own Jim Curley!" May you be spared
many day and year to champion Ire
land and the race of which you are a
splendid example of peculiar excel
lence. Thanks be to God that Boston
has as its mayor prince of the blood
true American, proud of his heritage
the blood and the faith of Ireland,
Hoping to greet you in Boston at the
Htbernian reception on Thursday nigh,

and appreciation of your defense Of
