CATHOLIC HOSPITAL
DEFIES The COURTS
officials Are Learning That Only
Orders From Pope Are Obey
ed By Papists

We wonder how the health au-
thorites Of Waterloo, Iowa, are
coming out in their attempt to get
the Roman Catholic hospital to aid
in relieving the influenza epidemic'
The Waterloo Epening Courier
for December 7th tells Of the board
of health having obtained an in-
junction intended to operate against
both the Presbyterian and Roman
Catholic hospitals. We suspect the
Presbyterian hospital was included
in the attempt to force the hospit-
ais to open their doors to influenza
patients merely as a matter Of
form, but be that as it may an at
tempt was made to get court or
der that would stick and thus help
to relieve strangers and others
without suitable surroundings for
treatment Of the dread disease.
1t seems that the first thing the
board Of health did after getting
the injunction was to order two.
influenza patients taken to the Ro-
man Catholic hospital at once. The
patients were taken and. the Of
foials got their charges as far as
the vestibule.
After the sick persons had lain
there for two hours, during which
time we suppose the sisters were
having the usual consultation with
the priest, the nuns informed the
officers that all beds were full and
that they would not admit the pa
tients.
The patients were then taken
clear across the city to the Presby-

WANTED n. Y. PAPlSTS
TO HELP GUST Cats
Florida Patriots In No Mood to
TriAe With Outside Meddling
In Political Affairs

A reader Of The Enterprise sends
us a copy Of paper containing the
following marked item:,
The little handful of Catholics in
Florida can do nothing with their
ballots, but their rich and powerful
and numerically strong brothers in
other states can go to their assist
ance. There is still such recourse
as impeaching an unworthy public
servant, and--as much as funds are
needed for war work and charity---a
hundred thousand dollars of Cath
olic money could be raised in five
minutes in the city of New York
alone TO hurl Sidney J, Cats, from
the governors chair.-CGtholc Adj
vance.
It is not the mission Of The En-
terpriso to mix religion in politics.
This sort Of mixing process has
been a source of disturbance and
distress since the beginning Of his
tory. Our opposition to mix
ologists who attempt the operation
is responsible for what we say here.
But where religion and politics
ARE. ALREADY MIXED, we
claim the right and recognize the
duty of taking a hand and doing
what we can to unscrumble the
mixture.
The Catholic Advance is one Of
the leading organs Of that church
in America and may be considered
as one Of its officially confirmed
mouthpieces.
The question arises: If Florida
people want Sidney J. Cats for
their governor, what business is it
of "the RICH AND POWERFUL
CATHOLIC BROTHERS OF
NEW YORK;" Why should they
raise a 'hundred thousand dollars
of CATHOLIC MONEY in five
minutes" OR ONE MILLION
TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND
dollars in On hour, to hurl Sidney
J. Cats from the governors chair.
How would they spend such sums
Of money to accomplish the end
desiredH Would they corrupt the
legislature and subsidize the
press? Would they hire some Of
New York City's powerful" gun.
men to wait on Florida's governor
and hurl 'fhim out Of the capitol? ?'
Perhaps they would call out the
military power Of the church the
Knights Of Columbus-to perform
the "hurling' operation.
We would like to pass this ar.
ticle from The Catholic Advance by
as an idle threat Of diseased brain,
but no one who knows the history
Of the Roman Catholic church
doubts for a moment that it would
hesitate to 'fhurl" Protestants from

POLITICAL TRADING
POST FOR THE CHURCH
The Irish-CathoIiC Bunch in Louis
vile Given Trading Post by
Administration

Une year ago the people oI
Louisville, Kentucky, aroused to
the menace of letting Romanism
longer remain in control Of its mu-
nicipal affairs defeated the whole
papal coterie running on the demo-
cratic ticket. Charles ]. Cronsn,
candidate for mayor, was one of the
many who went down in ignomin-
ious defeat.
But the democratic party went
into power nationally. And now
since Mr.. Mayes, President Will
sons appointee, as internal reVe-
nue. collector, is to retire to take up
fruitful practice in certain
branches of law, Charles ]. Cronan
has been appointed as internal rev.
enue collector for the fifth district
Of Kentucky.
On December 14th the local press
Of Louisville told all about it; ex-
cept that Cronan is scheming
papist who is, next to the bishop
and Boss Whalen, at least the nom
inal head of the Irish Catholic ma
chine in Louisville. We clip the
following significant paragraph
from one Of the evening papers:
Mr.. Cronan was indorsed for the
position Of collector in this district
by Mr.. James B. Brown and other
prominent citizens, and was support
ed by Senator Beckham. His ap-
pointment Is understood To have been
agreed upon some days ago. He
succeeds MIR. Scott Mayes, who was
named as collector Of internal reve-
nue. In this district shortly after
| President Wilson took Office in 1913
! The predecessor Of Mr.. Mayes was
Mr.. Ludlow Petty, a republican, and
now chief Of police in Louisville
The chief deputy in the Office, who
will probably retire with Mr.. Mayes
Is Mr.. Roger Gore. There is a great
deal of political patronage connected
with the Office, but 1t is understood
that Mr.. Cronan will manage the Of
| fee, which collects many millions ot
dollars annually, along strictly bust
ness lines.
So Mr.. Beckha1n, senator, sup
ported papist Cronan's claims to tin
office and the appointment wa
agreed upon some days ago was it
Who did the agreeingP What kline
of an agreement was it? Why thi'
surrender to the demands Of th'
papal machine in Louisville? VIII,
pick the man above all others TIM
The Kentucky IriSh-Amsrican, rab
i'd Irish sheet, would rather see il
power than any man in Louisville
Why subject this 'office to the dan
ger Of becoming an annex to tn,
Irish Catholic church?
There is a great deal Of politica
patronage connected with the offic'
is there' And Mr.. Gore, chief dep
uty, is going to retire? What j

is it necessary to have a reall,

More Light on italy

Signal honors recently conferred

ton as a scholar and historian re-
call to the mind of patriots his
masterful discession Of the part
played by Italy in the recent world
war, which was published in the Au-
gust number 5f Current History.
In that discussion DR.. Thayer
stated that thGsterribls, reverse and
disaster to the Italian armies in the
fall Of 1911? was due to the treason
Of Roman Catholic chaplains in
those armies.

Thayer as an authority on current
events and especially on current
Italian history. The National In
