AN APPRECIATION BY
PROFESSOR MICHAEL G. ROHAN
MILWAUKEE,, WIS.
Marquette University.

What sable pail was cast over the
large circle of friends when they
learned Of the death on Saturday
morning, Dec. goth, of Patrick R.
Courtney at the family residence, 6316
Drexel Ave-, Chicago. He was pres
ent at Mass on Christmas Day, and
on his return home contracted chill
which developed, despite the best
medical skill, into pneumonia, which
caused his death few days later. So
the end of this noble scion of high
ly respectable family was in strict
consonance with the entire life of this
exile of Erin, q gentleman in the best
sense of the term, credit to the coun-
try of his birth and his adoption, and
an honor to the family whose name he
bore.
He was member of the Chicago
police force for 81 years and his
ready wit and inexhaustible fund of
Irish humor, combined with a natural
philosophy, made him the beau-ideal
Of his comrades and the admired of
his superior officers, who saw in Pat
Courtney man who could be depend
ed upon to do his duty even in the face
of grave danger, for all that this pa
triotic and courageous Irishman even
know of fear" was the definition of
the word.

Pope Thanks Romans.

Rome, Jan. I'm thanking the Ro-
man aristocracy Saturday. for their
Christmas and New Years greetin9a.
Pope Benedict expressed his apprecia,
ton that the nobility has indorsed
our words with which we recently
invited the peoples of the earth to re-.
turn to God with the view of Fastening
the end Of the frightful misfortune
which has afflicted the world for more
than three years."
We must return to Christ, his holi-
ness added, Gin order once more to
enjoy the benefits of civilization"
The pontiff said the road whereby
to return to Christ was that of justice
and love. He expressed satisfaction
that the nobility had joined with the
Holy See in condemning the recent air
raids, which were against the rights
of man. The Pope raised his voice
against the form of warfare which
is used against undefended cities with
out bringing military results and which
causes victims among on-combatants
besides damaging churches and art
treasurers, thus increasing national
hatreds.

WEAPONS. or TIE TEACHERS
Evil Methods Inspiring Fear in Heartl
Of Children Not Conducive i:
to Best Results. p,

= Power to produce fear is q poor
weapon. The teacher who uses it Is
not doing his best work.
Snakes are feared by reason Of their
sting. So are lions and tigers for rea-
son Of their power to produce harm.
Fear is the weapon of an enemy.
We do not fear our friends, nor can
we fear anything that we love.
Evil is just absence Of good; for It
cannot exist where good is. And
evil chooses fear for its weapon.
Neither evil nor fear should exist In
the schoolroom, says an exchange.
Good is always stronger than evfl3
love always stronger than fear. Why
should teachers employ evil methods
and inspire fear in the hearts of chill
dren when springs Of love are bub-
bling up on every side?
There are smiles, and kind words,
and kind thoughts, and deeds of kind
ness and-but the list Is too great to
complete. These inspire love, and az
weapons are much more efficient than
Is fear.
And then there is faith! When
good loses its trust in it's ability to
overcome, fear disarms and evil con-
Quers.
An animal will not attack q man
who has absolutely no fear of it.
That is the secret of the iontamer's
power. Evil cannot defeat man who
Is strong in good, and therefore he has
no cause to fear evil.

the most momentous in the annals of

Subscribe to the Liberty Loans.
The Third Liberty Loan must find
Hibernians in the United States ready.
That immense strength in war which
comes from money must be lent to our
Government. Among all the elements
which make our population the richest
in the world, the Irish element, is,
probably, the most energetic. This
energy has made our race prosperous.
That innumerable multitude of exiles
which streamed across the Atlantic
during the middle of the nineteenth
century, obscure and burdened with all
the evils of poverty, have been succeed
ed by, a generation whose resources in
all forms of wealth is proof that the
Irish character has responded to the
generous opportunities Of free institu-
tions. These institutions are now in
peril. This wealth which we have won
from America must be lent to America.
The hospitable hands which welcomed
us when we were poor must be armed
to defend us. The National Board rec
ommends that Divisions, County and
State Boards be in readiness to sub
scribe to the Third Liberty Loan. 1t is
further recommended that each mem
Der subscribe for at least one Fifty
Dollar Bond-and' for higher bonds if
means permit. All intelligent men and
women understand that these bonds
are equivalent to money-that they are
guaranteed by the power and the honor
of the mightiest government in the
world,-and that they, bear interest
greater than if the money were left
on deposit in savings banks. It is
proper to point out to all holders Of
these Liberty Bonds the advantages of
retaining them in their possession un-
til the war is over. Harm is done to
the holder and to the nation through
transferring bonds. The business sense
of any holder Of these bonds should
urge him to hold fast to them, and the
pride in aiding the Government should
prevent any holder'from giving up his
share in saving the Republic

Thrift stamps-Raby Liberty Bonds.

Thrift Stamps-Baby Liberty Bonds.
These Thrift Stamps-baby Liberty
Bonds-should appeal strongly to all
parents who desire to give their chill
dren lessons in thrift and patriotism.
There should be several in every Hi
bernian home. Hiberians should ask
their children to save the money they
would otherwise fritter away on trifles,
and loan it to the Government. Their
compliance is an expression of their
confidence in, and their love for, Amer
lean institutions, as we'll as fine mani
festation of thrift. War thrift cards
have sixteen spaces for stamps; the
cards will be furnished free, on appli-
cation at any post Office, or from any
letter carrier. Banks and trust CON-
panies will also supply the cards and
sell the stamps. We would recommend
that all A. O. H. Clubs and Divisions
arrange with the local post office to
handle cards and stamps: If any Di-
vision should fail to take the matter
up. the members and their families can
secure cards and purchase stamps at
rier' A completed war thrift card with
all the spaces filled is baby Liberty
Bond-with the same great nation be-
hind it. 1t is issued on payment of
twenty-five cents for thrift stamp
that must be pasted on the first space
on the thrift card. At intervals dur
ing the year 1918 additional twenty.
live-cent stamps must be bought and
pasted on in the rest of the spaces, of
which altogether there are sixteen.
So when your little boy or girl has
saved one by one sixteen quarters
and pasted the stamps bought with
them on the card, it will represent an
expenditure of four dollars. When this
has been done you can take forth your
boy or girl to the post office to make
his first Understanding loan to the
Government. There, upon the pay
ment of from twelve to twenty-three
cents, according to the month you
bring it in-the sooner the cheaper
he will be given war-savings bond,
pasted on war-savings certificate. In
1923 the Government will pay him IS
for his bond. 1t costs him little
more than 81, and he would probably
have spent for candies the pennies that
went toward the buying of his baby
bond if the country had not asked him
for loan. This saving in small bits
is the biggest inducement in the world
toward the permanent habit of system
attic saving.
The Conservation Of Food.
One OF the vital needs of this ire
mendous struggle is the production and
conservation of food. Only part of
OUR membership is engaged in the
growing of crops or breeding Of food
animals. But every member can join
in the saving of food. Not only should
there be no waste, but there should
be a return to that frugal system of
life which was sufficient to nourish
both the bodies and the minds of our
hardy ancestors. Those simple habits
which conduce to plain living and high
thinking should be adopted during the
course of the war. Rich dishes and
costly meals may be given up in a
spirit of sacrifce-a sacrifice that will
be rewarded with improved health and
a retrenchment of resources. The Ma
tional Board suggests that our mem
