Edward ]. McDermott. form

Edward ]. McDermott, former
Lieutenant Governor of Kentucky,
and now a practicing attorney here.
is being complimented by fellow
members of the Louisville bar and
by friends all over the country on
an article appearing under his
signature in the Observation-Disclosures
issue of the American Law Review,
one of the oldest legal publications
In America. The article is entitled
Some "reminiscences of the Louis
vile Bar" and was read by Mr..
McDermott at the monthly dinner
last June of the Lawyers Club of
Louisville. In addition to printing
the article, the American Law Re-
view published an editorial concern
ing Mr.. McDermott's career, which
is reviewed in a most compre-
hensive manner. Mr.. McDermott's
article, introduced with a number
of recollections of unusual or humor
Incidents before the bar here, all
recalls to memory the best traits of
many famed attorneys who were
leaders in legal affairs here in years
gone by.

the market place seems not alto
gether unwarranted.
Distinction and similar meas
ures seem also to have been rigidly
enforced in such critical times. We
know that in the Duchy of Franco
mia. in the eighteenth century,
when news had come of the prev
alence of the plague at Marseilles,
strict precautions were ordered
taken. A rigorous embargo was
placed on the shipment into the
country of worn clothing, rags and
hair as possible carriers of the
contagion. When the pestilence APP
preached closer to the borders,
more rigorous measures were en-
ployed. Only such travellers and
goods were admitted as came from
sections known to be free from the
disease. Guards were placed on all
the roads leading to the borders,
and entrance through other than
the regular avenues was penalized.
travellers were obliged under oath
to state whether or not they had
passed through infected districts. 1t
was furthermore provided that any
village or hamlet stricken by the
scourge was to be isolated, after a
physician and a priest had been as
signed to duty within its walls.
Fires built in public places were
used in some countries at an early
date to combate epidemics. Aromatic
herbs were burned in small fires in
the houses; deodorants, including
specially prepared fumigating can
dies or pastills. were used. and
vinegar was utilized as a sterilizer.
Its value is still appreciated, though
it can not compare with our mod
ern disinfectants. In the episcopal
city of Mayence. during the cpl
demic of 1667-1e68 the bed-straw
used in houses visited by the
plague was ordered burned. A
quarantine of six weeks was pre-
scribed and enforced on all inmates
of dwellings thus afflicted and the
quarantine was not lifted for six
weeks and not before the house had
been fumigated. The preparation to
be used for this purpose had to be
purchased from the public apothe-
carries. In the latter city public
burials and marriages were for
hidden during the epidemic, and
even IcliSlOuS PROFESSIONS were
placed under the ban. Thus a
procession planned by the pastor OF
the Cathedral of the city and the
usual Pentecostal procession were
prohibited. An exception seems to
have been made in regard to two
meetings only, one being the occa-
sion of solemn VOW of the citizens
and the other the laying of the
cornerstone of the chapel of st.
Sebastian.
From all of this it may readily be
seen that certain effective measures
of precaution and cure during cpl
denies were we'll known and prac-
ticed by people in Catholic cities
and countries at an early age. To
pretend that the knowledge of
these means is altogether modern.
or that formerly people submitted
passively with a sort of religious
fatalism to such visitations, is un-
just and unscientific.

The people of the United States
are generous and charitable. When
ever there has been need the heart
of America has always and readily
responded. And now, when the
comfort. the morale and the morals
of the boys in the camps, on the

stake we feel certain that the re-
Spouse of the people will be prompt

THE MONTH OF THE DEAD.

The church teaches that the souls
of the just who have left this world
soiled with the stain of venial sin
remain for a time in place of ex-
piation, where they suffer such
punishment as may be due TO their
offenses. II is a matter of faith
that these sufferings souls are re-
lieved by the intercession of the
saints OF heaven. and by the prayers
of the faithful on earth. To pray
for the dead is then both an act
of charity and OF plety We read
in Holy Scripture: ut is holy and
wholesome thought to pray for the
dead, that they may be loosed from
sins" And when our Lord inspired
ST. Odilo, Abbot of Cluny, toward
the close of the tenth century, to
establish in his order a general
commemoration of all the faithful
departed. it was soon adopted by
the whole Western church, and has
been continued Increasingly to our
day. Let us ever bear in mind the
them. BY showing this mercy to
the suffering souls in purgatory we
shall be particularly entitled to be
licdtcu Will merry dL Jul uC-
parture from this world, and to
share more abundantly in the gen.
eral suffrages of the church, con-
tinually offered for all who have
slept in Christ.
Let us be especially mindful dur
ing this November of 1918 of the
souls OF the many who have fallen
in battle. and perhaps have none to
pray for them. Let us be mindful
of the many who have been called
to the eternal seat Of judgment
during this epidemic. which has left
no section OF the United
States, and whose hand has fallen
so heavily upon our own city and
State. and upon our boys in our
service. over 1890 of
our brave boys have died during the
past few weeks. The toll, Gen.
March tells us. has been greater
than that of the entire period since
we entered this world war. Let us
their souls and the souls
Of all who have fallen in battle
since.

ENGLAND AND IRELAND.

Major Stuart Stephens, of the
English army; Prof. Zion MacNeill,
of the University of Ireland, and
Austin Harrison, of London, editor
Of the English Review, have car
ried on remarkable series of dis
cussions in that publication in ref
erence to the status of Ireland at
the approaching peace council. Mr..
Harrison, after several visits to
Ireland, says:
Nobody can fail to be struck
with the wonderful discipline dis
played by the Irish people through
out the severe crisis. So far as
religious antagonism is concerned

just and fair; the agencies recog-
nized all are worthy; all that are
recognized are included, so there
can be no reason, no excuse, but
only dark, hidden motives for any
to refuse to contribute according to
their means. Catholics will not be
found lacking, we know. They will
vindicate the judgment of the
President, justify the hope of the
hierarchy and earn a rich bless
ing for themselves by joining all
hands to make the drive a triumph
of united action, and this will be
message of encouragement to our
soldiers that will be ever sweet to
their memory and to yours. Sim

says, military control of Ireland is
not necessary" for the great
British fleet controls the ocean all
around, and there could be no
danger of Ireland becoming a danger
to British power.
An Englishman of great expe-
rience and a leading Irish statesman
and professor of economics agree
that the trade relations of England
and Ireland would multiply and
grow and prosper under mutual self
respect and liberty.
We wish some of our American
friends who desire to be enlight-
ened on the question would occa-
sionally take look at the English
Review.
