K. OF C. SECRETARY TO
Y. NJ. c. A. IN FRANCE
Jubilatlon Of Papists in New York
Celebrates AppOintmentof Knight
Gormley as Y, N. CA. Official

One of the things that mark
camp life among the soldiers, is a
publication called Trench and
Camp. The Camp Lewis Trench
and Camp, in its issue for January
27th, contains an eulogy of a GER
tain papist, F. Joseph Gormley,
who is to take charge Of social and
recreational activities as secretary
for the Y. M. G. A. in France.
We take it from the manner in
which the eulogy is introduced that
Roman Catholic if not a Knight
Of Columbus, is responsible for the
article. A portion of it says:
The fact that Mr.. Gormley has
been prominent and conspicuously
active in the Knights of Columbus
and in the Society in the st. Vincent
de Paul for upward of twenty years
was dwelt upon in a most impressive
address, delivered by the Rev. James
F. Cornin, c. S. P.
Said address was part Of the
happenings of a testimonial dinner
rendered Gormley by his associates
of the "St. Vincent dc Paul, the
Apostle" at the Catholic club in New
York City. This occasion was 9

UNITED CIGAR STORES
and MILITANT KNIGHTS

February 14th was Knight Of
Columbus Day in the United Cigar
Stores throughout this country. On
that date the United Cigar Stores
donated five percent Of, their gross
receipts throughout the country to
the Knights Of Columbus war fund.
What subscriber to this paper
who lives in a city Of any consid-
cradle size, but passes one of these
stores almost daily, yet IS not aware
of the fact that no lesser authority
than the Catholic Citizen, itself, is
responsible for the statement that
George j. Whelan, an Irish Roman
Catholic is head of this corporation
which owns and controls this end
less chain of cigar stores. 1t was
Mr.. Whelan's oldest brother,
Michael, who opened a store in
Syracuse, New York, right after the
close Of the Civil War who really
started the United Stores Company
He prospered to the extent that he
was able to place each Of siz
brothers in charge Of stores in other
cities, and it is no exaggeration, but
rather an understatement, to say
this Roman Catholic concern il
nov doing a business amounting tc
$3O,OOO,O0O annually. The 85 per
cent of the non-C Catholic population
is contributing its proportion o.
this huge income and pockets it
coupons without q thought as to th'
channels through which the S5 per
cent of the $30,OO0,OOO may be dis
tributed.

authorized and before at least two
witnesses; (2) q marriage between
two Catholics or between a Catholic
and baptized non-Catholic; by

public, or Protestant minister, is

marriage is licit or lawful unless
performed by the pastor Of the bride
or by priest delegated by him or
the bishop of the diocese; az those
of the faithful who are Of mar
riageable age or who may be con-
templating marriage in the near
future should secure positive and
correct information as to the date
and place of their baptism"
That is all the priest needs to tell
the faithful. Nothing need be ex-
planned as to difference Of relig-
ion" making a marriage null and
void and the children of such a
union bastards. That only comes
out when the Roman Catholic
party to such marriage gets tireo
and then his church informs him he
needs no divorce as he was never
really married.

In order to satisfy the curiosity
of its own people as to "why does
the church ordinarily impose an

ton? The priest is taught the an
swer that ut is with view both
to lessen the number Of requests for
dispensation, and to make compen-
sation by good work for the break

Money can break law. In plain
English the church is perfectly will:
ing to break a law if it gets paid
for it. A money consideration is
such a good work. that even a
moral law may be violated as a re.
ward to the donor. For Of course
Rome claims her laws are based on
morality.

PERSONS MISSING (
IN PAPAL News

In an attempt in late number Of
the Western Catholic to be facetious,
the editor sarcastically inquiries,
what has become of Bishop Burt,
the tool Of THE MENAcE?" Bishop
Burt, who, by the way, instead of
being a "tool," agent or instrument
of any one, is evidently a double
edged sword, unfettered in its action,
of which the Catholic priests are
afraid. He is busy attending to his
duties as a bishop of the Methodist
Episcopal Church and preaching
Christianity as he believes it to be,
as is his right, the Catholic church to
the contrary not withstanding. He
is also ready at any moment to cross
swords with anyone he considers an
opponent of righteousness or the up
lifting Of humanity; as Catholic
leaders know to their cost.
Were we disposed to retort in kind,
we might ask the Western Catholic
what has become of the militant
Catholics who labored so hard to in
volve this country in a war with
Mexico and threatened political re-
prisal on those who stood in theil
way. Or we might inquire into the
whereabouts of Father Yorke and
De Lacey, of the San Francisco Lead.
er, or of one jeremiah O'Leary, OF
Judge Cohalan and other brilliant
members Of the Irish faction of the
Catholic church, who so assiduously
labored to violate the neutrality laws
of the United States and produce q
rupture Of the relations between this
country and England, greatly to the
benefit of Germany, in winning It's
war against humanity, and whose
activities were frowned upon by the
government. AS the subject is an
embarrassing one for the Catholic
editorial fraternity, and we wish tc
be merciful even to our opponents
we refrain from inquiries of the
kind.
Another answer to the Western
Catholic is, that the Catholic press
having ceased It's attacks on the
bishop and the war news engaging
the attention of the public, to the ex.
clusion Of the other news, the in!
dividual was lost sight Of by the
readers Of the papers, Just as the
public generally lost sight of one
Joseph P. Tumulty, the one-time pei
of the Catholic papers, and who, 6
few years ago, was called by them
the assistant President Of the U
s." When the Catholic papers fell
out with Mr.. Tumulty, or pretended
to do so, and the news of the wal

into obscurity so far as the papers
were concerned. "Father" Foley, W,

inst1nced one experience which re-
suited IN the elimination Of certain
literature, Objectionable to Catholics,
from the reading rooms Of the Y. M.
C. A. promptly after he had COM
municated with a certain official. He
stated that the official Immediately
made II copies Of his letter and sent
it to each member of the board Of
directors and that a response came
back from every one of the II saying
that he was decidedly opposed to hav-
ing any such literature in the Y. M.
c. A. reading rooms. He gave other
instances which showed that he had
met with neither hostility nor bigotry
from the Y. M. C. A., and indicated
many ways in which Mr.. Gormley
would serve our soldiers in France
with greater efficiency and human
sympathy in all the requirements Of
the Y. M. C. AS activities because Of
his 20 years experience as a Vim
centian. He further stated that Mr..
Gormley would reflect credit upon
himself and uuon the societies in
which he had given so many years of
helpful service and that he would be
serving not only his nation as a cit
izen and as a humanitarian, but also
his church as a Catholic, as a Vim
centian and as a Knight Of Colum-
bus.
We have little doubt that CORN
ley will serve his church "as q
Catholic, as a Vincentian, and as a
Knight of Columbus" but we fail
to see how his twenty years as q
Vincentian is going to aid the Y
NJ. G. A." unless one Of the object:
of the Y. M. G. A. is to become
Romanized, and adopt RomisE
methods.
One Of the pleas Of the thrifty
Knights when seeking to establish
recreation buildings in canton
ments was that the Y. M. G. A
does not permit Roman Catholic
representation. Now they are es
pecially represented by their owl
peculiar sect in their own peculia
way in their X. G. recreation build
L
ings, and they are likewise gaininI
representation in Y. NJ. G. A. posi-
tions. To a man up tree it nigh
look reasonable to suppose that on
or the other would be sufficient, bu
nothing is ever sufficient for Rome
Let some man who is as thorough
Protestant as Gormley is thorough
ly papal try to land a similar iC
with the Knights of Columbus an
he and the Y. NJ. G. A. will dis
cover that Romanism is an ir
fernally close corporation.

THIS ROMAN PRIEST
SUED FOR SLANDER
Condemned Marriage Ceremony Not
in Accordance With Roman Law
Sued by Communicates

The Springfield (Mo.) Leader
for February goth tells about a Ro-
man priest being sued for SANDER
by a justice Of the peace who had
married parties in accordance with
our civil marriage law. This case
which, if the details were known
would be equally as outstanding in
its brazen defiance Of law as were
the Panama cases recently recorded
in these columns is related without
comment in the paper mentioned,
as follows:
Father P. ]. Kilkenny, pastor Of
st. Lawrence Catholic church at Mo-
nett, has been made defendant in a
suit for $4,000 damages, alleging
defamation Of the character of the
plaintiff in utterances from the pull
pit Of the church. The suit was
brought by E. A. 0'Dwyer, a justice
Of the peace at Monet, and will come
up for disposition at the next term
Of the Barry county circuit court.
The suit is an outgrowth Of mar.
riage performed by Justice 0'Dwyer
the contracting parties being mem
bers of the Catholic church and q
woman who had obtained divorce
The justice of the peace was sought
for tyiAg the nuptial knot, for the
reason that the Catholic church does
not sanction such marriage.
According to the allegations in the
petition, Father Kilkenny at morning
mass after the marriage took place
severely arraigned those concerned in
the marriage, although the priest die
not mention any names.
The petition Of the plaintiff recite.
that the language used by Father
Kilkenny in referring to the mar
riage was slanderous and that he at
tackled the justice "as a public ser
want holding q position of trust, II
a manner highly displeasing to him.
It is understood that the conten

ton of Father Kilkenny will be that
he was fully justified in speaking of
the marriage in his church and that
in making the utterances complained
of by Justice O'Dwyer he was only
upholding the teachings Of the Cath
olic church.
Justice 0'Dwyer is one Of the men,
bers of Father Kilkenny's parish. =.
The priest must have INDUCED ii
some very abusive language ant
strong adjectives to have drawn the
fire Of the justice, a communicate
of his own church, in slander suit
for $4,000 and his tacit admission
Of guilt is very apparent in the last
paragraph Of the foregoing quota
ton where it is predicted his de-
fense will be an attempt to justify
his abusive language on the ground
that he was only upholding the
teachings of the Roman Catholic
church. So while admitting the
charge the admission also shows
that the Roman church and its
priests do teach, owe and pay first
allegiance to the pope Of Rome and
his DEGREES in all matters where Ro.
man Catholic and American laws OF
ideals conflict.
We recently showed how the
pope approved the teachings Of
Lepicier that, heretics might well
be murdered, yet we would hardly
expect a jury to acquit this priest
if he had killed a non-C Catholic
simply because he happened to be
upholding the Roman Catholic
church and its Doctrines. If the
charge is substantiated that The
priest has slandered the justice
would it not be dangerous practice
to free the priest simply because his
church insists on governing its owr
instead Of perm ting them to bc
governed by the same law as Amer
leans. Would it not be equivalent
to establishing, by court decision
supremacy Of Roman over American
law?
