speaking last night at the Y. W. c. A.

on the staying power Of the people.
The Russian army was not beaten
but betrayed by the Germans.

will end this year and maybe not

"You are hereby officially notified
that the holding of the forthy-fourth
national convention of the Catholic
Young Mems National Union has been

your officers deeply regret that
such a step is necessary, but after
making complete canvass of the

A PATRIOT.

A patriot is one who is willing to
overlook his personal grievances dur
ing the period of the war. He is one
who will for the time consent to tear
himself loose from the vanity of his
own opinions if thereby he can assist
the war aims of the nation. A patriot
is one who is willing to eat less and
think more if it will help Uncle Sam.
A real patriot does not measure his
country's success from the viewpoint
of what he is going to get out of it. y
Not on your tintype! The real stuff
sort of patriot is the one who rolls up
his sleeves splits on his hands and
says: "Uncle Sam give me some
thing to dol"
His home, his family, his time, his
money, his opportunities are at the
disposal of the Government for the
asking. And he also is ready to meet
the "acid test" if his life is essential
to the bulwarking of democracy.
In a modest way this is the sum
ming up of patriot. He's good and
faithful sort and may his tribe in
crease. On him Uncle Sam places his
reliance!

Fourth Liberty Loan mas not been Of
fclally announced. 1t is commonly
thought, however, in official circles
that the amount will be SIX billion
dollars. This is twice the amount
asked by the Government for the
Third loan.
What will this mean? It will .neaa
that there will have to oe an IN
crease in the average amount given
by individual subscribers and also q
largely increased number of subscrib-
ers. For the people of the Ninth lis
trict to raise $2UO,0OO,OO0, it will
be necessary for every man, woman
and child to make an effort, to sacri-
flee, to give up many things they
would like to do or buy, and not only
to do their full duty, but make 1t
their business to see that every other
man, woman and child does his or
her duty.
The Ninth District occupies a very
enviable position among the districts
of this great country. The Ninth Dis
trict must retain this position. In
order to do so, there must be put
forth united, whole-hearted effort

FOUNDING OF A PARISH.
One Hundred Years of Dominican Life
Recalled

On the occasion of the centenary of
the founding of st. Joseph's parish,
Perry county, Ohio, August 4, Very
Rev. D. J. Kennedy. o. P, S. T. NJ.
gave passing reference to the honor
able list of St. Joseph's Superiors and
illustrious sons. One hundred years
ago St. Josephs first church and con-
vent were blessed by Father Edward
Dominic Fenwick, the Apostle of Ohio
and the first Bishop of Cincinnati
Here we find, besides the names of
Bishop Fenwick, the names of two
Archbishops and four Bishops, Arch
bishop Allemany of San Francisco,
Archbishop Grace, Bishop Miles, Bis
hop Whelan, Bishop Carroll, Coadju-
tor of Trinidad. This includes Rev.
John T. McNicholas, recently named
for Duluth, MINI. Perhaps his ap-
pointment may be considered as a St..
tJoseph's centenary gift from the Holy
Father, to st. Joseph's Province. Rev.
Charles Plus Montgomery refused the
Bishopric of Montgomery, and there
have been at least six others, begin

Los Angeles Educator Tells Story Of
Doughboys' Fighting Grit

There's the 165th Regiment from
New York. It's the old Sixty-ninth to
the folks back home, no matter what
the new army regulations have named
it. Fight? Why, they go out there
whistling Garryowen and don't re-
member that it's meal time.
But there's a comradship there
that has welded the races and the
creeds almost beyond comprehension.
Everybody knows the rule of the Cath
Ollie Church that forbids it's members
to eat meat on Friday. OF course,
that rule does not hold when a Cath
Ollie is under military discipline.

day morning, sitting beside Father
Duffy, the regiments chaplain. There
isn't man in that regiment who isn't
on terms of intimate friendship with
the priest. On this Friday moring
Father Duffy looked mournfully down
at the plate Of ham and eggs that
were set before him and smiled grim
ly.
Say, Father chirped young

rule against eating pork, this is a

doughboy smiled. Then both ate their
ham and eggs and smacked their lips
when they had finished.

they are singing in the hospital wher
they know, a good parcel of them

The men, women and children of

In fact, the people of the Ninth

they have put this district in a class

Loan campaign, this district started
it's campaign last, finished it first, ex.
ceeded every other district in over
subscription of it's quota, and, in the
sale of bonds, secured a better per.
centage of distribution than any other
part of the United States. Surely the
people of this district have very great
reason to be proud OF their record.

ganization adopted and successfully

carried out throughout the Ninth DIS
trict is undoubtedly responsible to
a large extent for the fine record
made. The natural energy and clear
sighted Americanism of the great ma
jority of its citizens is responsible for
the balance. Whatever the cause, the
results have put this district in class
by itself. The managers of other dis
tricts look to the Ninth Federal Re-
serve District for information and in
spiration. They want to know how it
was done. Many of the rules laid
down by the Government for the
Fourth Liberty Loan campaign in
other districts are admitted to be un-
necessary in the Ninth. The authori-
ties in charge at Washington admit
that the men and women Of the North
west will do what is asked of them
in their own way, out will do it prompt
ly and efficiently.
From all this, it is evident chat a
great deal will be expected from the
Ninth Federal Reserve District in the
Fourth Liberty Loan campaign. The
standard set is so high that it will
take extra effort to maintain it. That
means that all those who worked hard
during the Third campaign will nave

Something That
Is A N yth
Only One Thing Could Really Pro-
duce a Catholic Vote.

There are still people in the land,
there are even politicians, who talk of
the Catholic vote, who seem really to
believe that body of citizens nearly
twenty millions strong-counting the
children-can be handled in bulk, so
to speak, like so many tons of sugar,
says the Catholic Advance of Wichita,
Kansas. "The absurdity of the be-
lief is patent to any sociologist. The
Catholic Church in America has in its
membership people from score of
countries as we'll as native-bOrn
Americans, also Americans of colonial
descent. They belong to all sections
of the country, to all political par
ties, and their local offshoots, to all
classes of society, from the steel mag
nate and to the college professor to
the day laborer at the steel works and
the jaintor at the college. They are
citizens and they exercise their civic
rights exactly as they please.
There is only one thing that could
ever produce a Catholic vote, and a
tragic day for liberty would dawn first,
and that would be religious persecu-
ton, political discrimination against
them as Catholics. So long as they
enjoy the rights given to them by the
Constitution their forefathers helped
to secure there will never be Catho-
lie vote. AS we'll talk of the Metho-
dist vote, or the Baptist vote, or the
Mother Eddy vote; indeed, with far
greater reason, for many a Protes-
tant has refused to vote for a Catholic,
solely because he was Catholic
and no Catholic has refused to vote
for Protestant merely because he
was Protestant.
When Cassius Clay, one of the Or
ganizers of the Republican party,
tried to secure the influence of Arch
bishop Hughes, that prelate replied:
my own principles are that the
American people are able, in their
own way, to manage their affairs of
state without any guidance or instruc-
ton toward any class or religious de-
nomination by either priests or par
sons. AS for myself, l never in
fluence human being, Catholic or
Protestant, as to the party of Which
he might think proper to attach him
self in his capacity as voting

"You can easily perceive by all this
that Catholics vote as individuals in
the proper exercise of their franchise;
but without any direction from their
clergy. So far at least as has ever
come under my knowledge and GER
tainly so far as the clergy under my
own jurisdiction are concerned"
Should there be an anti-Catholic
outbreak similar to the Knownothing
riots, when converts were burned,
priests and nuns insulted, crosses torn
from churches, Catholic homes reduc-
ed to ashes, then indeed would there
be Catholic vote-a vote that would
send bigots to private life very speed
lily. But why think of something that
could happen only when the stars had
fallen from our flag!

that they sure take care of the soil.
