DIscoURAGING REPORTS.
As To the Future Of Christianity Il
Japan.

Reports from Japan concerning relig-
ion are not encouraging. Four years
ago one of our Bishops there sounded
a warning which appeared to some to
be the plant of pessimist. 1t has
since been justified. New government
edicts will work harm to the Church.
One of the edicts states that religion
must not be taught in the schools dur
ing the hours for secular instruction.
It is the design of the government to
use the public schools to revive MI.
kado worship. The decree, states the
Bishop, spells disaster for the Chris
tian schools which have been erected
and maintained at great expense.
There is a second decree which or
ders that hereafter all missionaries
must have government authority to
preach. No building may be erected
for religious purposes and the person
mel of a mission may be changed at
any time at the discretion of the gov
ernment. 1t is said that the recent
DEGREES are designed to control the
pagan worships. but there is the old
charge, which was used in old Roman
times, that Christians are opposed to
the gods, that may be brought up at
the convention of the officials of Japan.

IRELAND Must

Eminent Jesuit Scholar Will Have No
Halfway Measures-A Re-

Chicago, Dec. 24-"Ireland must be

clared the Rev. John J. Wynne, S. j.,
the great and learned Jesuit, whose
herculean labors as Editor-in-Chief of
that colossal literary monument of the
century, the Catholic Encyclopedia.
are known and recognized the world
over.
Father Wynne gave expression to
this truly American principle at the
monthly session of the New York
Chapter of the Knights of Columbus
held in New York recently. In scath
ing terms the distinguished Jesuit de-
nounced the malignant efforts of those
who were trying to cast aspersions on
the loyalty of Catholics, especially

"for our own American ideals and not
for the ideals of any other nation.
"The President put this clearly
for freedom and democracy, not for
one nation, but for all nations, big and
small. Why clarnor about Alsace-Lor
raine and not about Poland? Why
clamor about Belgium and not about
Ireland?"
Father Wynne advocated free and
open discussion in the press and on
the platform of all these matters. He
said Englishmen in England, scholars
and writer's, had declared in favor OF
an Irish Republic. How could it be
reasonable here to do the same
thing?
Closing, he said: "Persistent attacks
on certain men of our race in New
York and elsewhere, attacks on theil
citizenship and their loyalty to Amer
ica, are without particle of evidence
to back them up.
The attacks on men Of our race in
this country are not of American in
spiration. They originate beyond the
sea. These attacks must STOP
If need be, he said, he would organ
ize a nationwide campaign, himself
against the slanderous attacks on men
of the Irish race, than whom none
were more loyal to America.

Official Publication penounces Conduct
of the Alleged Masonic Leaders of
Mexico and Says They Have Nothing
In Common With u. S. Fraternity.

New York, Nov. 26-The Masonic
Tidings," one of the leading publica-
tions of the American Masonic Fra
ternity, has Joined in the general de-
nunciation of the acts of the Latin"
or Oriental Iasons in Mexico, and
makes it clear that American Masons
desire to disown any afliliation with
the actions of certain Masonic leaders
in Mexico. The following is from a
rec ent issue of the Masonic Tidings":
We have the authority of the Ma
sonic Standard of New York City that
recently, in this country, Right Wor-
sllipful Egon Edward Schoenwald Of
Mexico City made the statement that
nearly all men of prominence and in
flucuce in the republic Of Mexico were
members of the Masonic fraternity;
that Scottish Rite Masonry was the
strongest power recognized in that
country.
Governs All Latin Masons.
Moreover, he makes the remarkable
statement that nearly every governor
in Mexico is a thirty-seccnd degree
Felix Diaz were thirty degree
Masons; that Madero, who was presi-
dent of Mexico was a thirty-second
degree Mason, and that at the time
he captured Diaz and Reyes trebels
against the then government) that he
ordered them shot; that they were
finally saved the death penalty and
ordered to be imprisoned for life, be-
cause, as states Brother Schoenwald,
they were Masons.
He further stated that Huerta, who
also was thirty y-second degree Ma
son, when he captured Madero, or
dered him shot, and for this act was
expelled from the institution of Free
masonry.
We have no doubt that these state

were true and historically correct;

to convey the idea that these distin-

PEACE But not
AT AN PRICE

The Irish Ecclesiastical Record" is
evidently not in favor Of the policy of
hush that is sometimes advocated by
we'll meaning and peace-loving Catho-
lies. Treating of this matter the "Rec-
ord" says: "It is mistake to imag-
inc that the people approve of the
policy of hush When the faith they
cherish so dearly is maligned or ridi-
culed in any way, they naturally ex-
pect someone to take up the cudgels
for the Catholic Church. They are
proud of the man who ably and openly
defends the cause of country and reli-
gion. How slow we are to speak!
How cautiously we write! How blind
we are to what is going on around us!
How many misdeeds and falsehOods
we allow to pass unnoticed, or at the
very most refer to only indirectly and
in polished language. We are more
inclined to attach more to expediency
and to certain false notions of eti-
quette than to duty, even CT sacred
kind We try to justify our silence by
holding that the best way to treat
present-day opponents is to ignore
them; that to be rushing into print in
defense of Catholic teaching at the
beck of every bigot or carping critic
is only calculated to be-little religion
and to magnify petty difficulties"
There is much truth in the forego-
ing. We desire to be at peace with
all men as much as possible, but we do
not for moment purpose having
peace at the sacrifice of principle or
honor. We shall, however, always be
found ready to grant unto others the
same consideration that we would ex-
pect for ourselves.

MASSES FOR SOLDIERS.

The members of the Mater Dolorosa
parish Of Madelia, Minn., have set a
worthy example of remembrance of the
dead.
The Catholic Order of Foresters, the
st. Joseph Verein, the Christian Moth
ers' Society, the Young Ladies' Sodal-
ity, the Young Mems Society and the
children OF the parochial school bought
one Liberty Bond each. The interest
on these will be used for offerings for
Masses for the deceased soldiers of
the American army in the present war.
This will insure one Mass every month
for thirty years to be celebrated in
this church for the deceased soldiers.

The knights Of
Columbus Drive
Everything Is In Readiness To Raise
the Minneapolis Quota Of Three Mil
lion Dollar Fund-Sunday, Jan. 20,
From 2 to 9 P. NJ, Will Be Devoted
to This Beneficent Project.
Many Cities Have Already Completed
the Work Allotted To Them-Rocke..
felIer Foundation Has Contributed
100000 and May Give More.

An earnest, determined and perse-
vering corps of women of the Henne-
pin Minneapolis Council of the Knights
of Columbus have almost completed all
arrangements for the big drive of Jan.
Goth, and are surely going "over the
top" on that day to raise the quota
of 100000 assigned to this city as it's
contribution to the big three million
dollar fund which the order has un-
dertaken to provide for the welfare of
the soldiers and sailors in service.
Between the hours of 2 and p. m. on
that day workers will call upon the
people of this city to add another star
to the municipal service flag by roll
ing up subscription list that will
generously exceed the modest allot-
ment of 100000. In the several par
ishes of the city volunteer workers
will be enrolled tomorrow and next
Sunday to cooperate in the movement.
1t is expected that the pastors will
take occasion on at least one of these
days to exhort their congregations to
lend a generous hand to the work, so
that the people will be prepared for
subscriptions when the campaigners
call upon them at their homes.
Owing to various conditions and Cir
cumstances, Minneapolis has fallen
somewhat behind her sister cities in
this benevolent project. Many COM
munities have already completed the
task of raising the quotas allotted to
them, and in many instances these as
signments have been exceeded from
so to 100 per cent and upwards. Pitts
burgh, for example, has raised 100000
which is equivalent to $4,000 for it's
entire membership of 1000, and Hart
ford, Conn.,. has contributed $4,000,
with membership of 1,200. These
are over 800 members in Hennepin-
Minneapolis Council of the knights, so
that if the campaign were compared
with that of Pittsburgh, $4,000 would
be raised. 1t is hoped that an ap-
Proclamation to this figure may be
reached, so that this city shall rank in
accordance with it's wealth and i'm
portance among the municipalities of
the nation, and shall maintain the
eminence it has achieved in respect to
the other great patriotic movements
that have arisen since the beginning
of the world war; Let it not be said
that the Catholic people have been sur
passed in generosity and sacrifice, by
the people of other creeds along the
lines of furnishing support to the
brave boys at the front or in prepara-
tiOn for it.

Of Irish History.
"The ancient Irish,'' wrote Patrick
Weston Joyce, the most eminent and
reliable of all Irish antiquarians of
our time, were highly intellectual
and interesting people, and the world
owes them something. From the evil
dences adduced we may see that the
ancient Irish were as we'll advanced in
civilization, as orderly, as regular as
the people of those other European
countries of the same period that
like Ireland-had proper settled gov
ernment; and it will be shown further
that they were famed throughout Eu-
rope for religion and learning"

ance which we must dissipate through
the enthusiastic and ceaseless vigor OF
our own knowledge of the glory and
achievements of our ancestors. The
declaration, oft repeated, that it was
"the English who civilized the savage
Irish," must be illumined in all it's
falsity. 1t IS this duty which the An
cient Order of Hibernians has deter
mined to execute. Through the a.!

of that Order in America alone it is
possible in one decade to establish in

left no trace. This was the fate which
almost befell the Irish race. Had not
the single tie of religion-binding the
people with changeless devotion to
God-also linked them with unconquer-
able attachment to liberty, it is almost
certain that the Irish race, long be-
fore the nineteenth century, would
have been submerged in all that makes
a race proud and great. The Ancient
Order, during the centuries of the
Penal Laws, when it's members were
defending the priests of our faith from
peril and death, builded better than it
knew. Eibernians were then, as they
are now, the Defenders of the Faith,
and they were then, as now, foremost
in guarding the fires of freedom. That
these fires do not glow with stronger
is not preserved with greater intelli-
gence-is due to the negligence of our
own people and. their failure to recog-
nize that they constitute a distinct
racial entity in the brotherhood of the
world. 1t has often been asked: "Why
has not this recognition been accorded
and established?" l quote DR.. Joyce,
who briefly summarizes the reasons:
"The Irish race, after prOtracted
struggle, went down before stronger
people: and in addition to this, from
causes which it would be out of place
to discuss here, they suffered almost a
total eclipse at home during period

century. Chiefly for these reasons, the
Old Irish people have never, in modern
times, received the full measure OF
credit due to them for their early and
striking advance in the arts of civil
iZed life, for their very comprehensive
system of laws, and for their noble
and successful efforts, both at home
and abroad, in the cause of religion
and learning"
What We Ought To Know.
We ought to know-and our children
ought to know-that the Brehon Laws
of the ancient Irish contained very
many of the principles of what is rec

courts, and that the land laws and
the jury system of the Old Irish race
approached closely to the highest
forms ever applied in any modern form
of society We ought to know, and
our children ought to know, that the
laws governing crops, fencing, tillase,
herding, grazing and pasturage were
in advance Of corresponding laws then

installation Of.
A. 0. H. Officers
1t Will Take Place on Thursday Eve
ming, Jan. 10, at !. o. o. r. Hall,
Central Ave. and 22nd Ave. N. e.
Prominent Speakers, a Lively Enter
tainment and Banquet Will
Be Provided.

The A. O. H. of Minneapolis is to
break all records of past performances
in the line of installations at the grand
joint installation of the officers of all
of the ten Divisions of the city, which
is scheduled for next Thursday eve
ming, Jan. 10, at the |. o. O. F. Hall,
Central Ave. and 22nd Ave. N. L. The
exercises will be under the direction
of Division No. 10 with the co-Opera-
tion of County President Frank d.
Feeney. The preparations have already
progressed so favorably that the gen
tlemen in charge feel confident that
the occasion will prove one of the most
inspiring and entertaining in the his
tory of local Hibernianism
Every member of the organization is
invited to participate and bring a
friend or two along with him. The
hall is large and will accommodate
lieved that the attendance at this func-
tion will take it's utmost capacity. 1t
has been several months since any
thing has been attempted by the A. O.
Fl. in the way of a rally on a large
scale, so that the time is now ripe
for such big gathering as is con-
tempated for Thursday night.
Good speakers will deliver short,
snappy addresses on the questions of
the hour, that will be a stimulus both
to American and Irish patriotism. Mu-
sical and other numbers are also on
the bill, some of them being in the ma
ture of a pleasing surprise.
Among the matters that may be dis
cussed will probably be the coming
National Convention of the A. o. H.
and l.. A., A. o. H., which is to take
place at San Francisco in July of this
year. For many months the enthu-
siastic Hibernians of the coast have
been actively preparing for this great
assemblage, which is likely to prove
the greatest in the history OF the order.
They have set out to raise a sum of
money that is surprisingly large, in
order to leave nothing undone to meet
the needs of the Convention.
Another subject suggested for con-
sideration is that of a general joint
celebration of st. Patrick's Day by the
Irish Societies of Minneapolis or by
the Hibernians themselves. In respect
to the observance of this great inter-
national holiday the Irish-Americans of
the northwest must be regarded as
slackers, in comparison with Irish Or
ganizations in other parts of the coun-
try. 1t is altogether probable that be-
fore that time the Irish Convention
will have made it's report, and if it's
findings are of a satisfact nature
the st. Patricks Day Rally might we'll
take on the form of a jubilation Of the
event. If not satisfactory it would
furnish an opportunity for the collec-
tive expression of the Irish-Americans
of this great metropolis in respect to
the measure.
Great events are Immediately before
u.s. Let us take advantage of the pres
ent to make adequate preparations for
their appreciation and utilization in
the interests of the old land
