Day Speech.
HANLEY MAKES ADDRESS

HANLEY MAKES ADDRESS
Irish womanhood in all its beauty
was lauded in the highest at the St.
Patrick's Day banquet at the Ex-
change on the South Side Sunday eve
ming. OF all the high compliments paid
by Archbishop J. J. Harry, who spoke
at the conclusion Of the program, his
tribute to the woman and girl Of Ire
land was most beautiful.
while you may all speak with
praise of the beauty of South Omaha
Irish women with the exterior in
mind, see still farther. As thoughts
OF my Irish mother fit for a moment,
l see that deeper, grander, nobler
woman who has made character for
her people and for the world. In
praise of them, God has blessed
them"
Praise to the Order.
The archbishop extended his praise
to the Ancient Order of Hibernians,
Under whose auspices the banquet
and entertainment was given. He
urged that in the highest, noblest and
truest sense of the word, Irish Hi
bernians spelled loyalty that has
written itself on the pages OF
United States history. "The arch
bishop wishes to express his appreci-
alton of you tonight and of the order,
the ability of which l know so well. ="
Hanley on Nationalism.
The nationalism of the Irish people
in America was enlarged upon by
James H. Hanley, secretary to Con-
gresham Lobeck, who had journeyed
from Washington to be the speaker
of the evening.
Mayor Dahlman, one of the speak
ers, was applauded when he spoke for
Americanism. "The constitution" he
said, "the greatest document known
to mankind, grants equal rights to
man, woman, boy or girl. Millions
read this declaration and migrated
here. Out of all has sprung a new
nation in which we live, stanch in
the wisdom of our flag. We are
Americans and are behind the presi-
dent to a man. Let him be right or
let him be wrong-we are ever for
him."
