various churches. Is it not little sur
prising that in view Of the vital moral
issues involved this great organization
has had nothing to say? i have been
expecting a call for conference of the
leaders of the federation on this tre-
mendously important matter.
POSSIBLY the leaders are not yet
ready to act decisively. But permit me
to express the hope that before long
we may have some ringing expression of
dissent concerning this fragrant viola
tion Of the law by persons high in au-
thority who should be the last men
among us to break the law or defy the
Christian sentiment of The city.

A NE " RULING
WINE FOR SAcRAMENTAL PUR-
POSES NOT BANNED.

Regulations just issued by the bu
reau of internal revenue afford every
religious organization in the United
States opportunity to obtain wine for
sacramento purposes.
Where sacramental wines are pro-
duced and distributed under clerical
supervision, as in certain monasteries
of the Catholic Church, the usual in
ternal revenue tax must be paid and
accurate records kept of all shipments.
Churches not having hierarchal organ
izations, will obtain wine on the appli-
cation of the minister or duly author
lied officer of the congregation.
Jewish congregations, each of which
is separate entity under no superior
prelate, will obtain wine for their
services on application of the rabbi.
The historic mead, brewed from grapes
and honey, will continue to be used in
the Passover Feast. The bureau has
ruled, contrary to erroneous reports,
that mead was prohibited, that the
drink may be made in accordance with
ancient custom in the homes of Jew
ish families when intended for use in
the religious festival.

If the people of the United States
have not succeeded because of the
failure Of their representatives in Paris
in releasing the oppressed nations
under Great Britain's militaristic and
imperialistic sway, they still feel that
they have the right as citizens of this
free republic to sympathize with these
oppressed subject nations and to hope
that they, too, in time may secure
their independence as a justification
for the American blood shed in this
war in behalf of the liberties of the
world.
The United States will mind its own
business, but it will not abandon it's
democratic principles, it's humanitari-
an sympathies and its international
rights.
Finally, we suggest to Sir Edward
Carson as a preliminary to his advis-
ing the United States to mind it's own
business, that he advise Great Britain
to mind her own business; to stop
flooding this country with pro-British
propaganda and antiIrish propaganda
and propaganda opposed to everything
that Great Britain is opposed to; to
stop distorting news and falsifying
facts and misinforming our people as
to the occurrences of the world; to
/ stop interfering with our personal and
domestic affairs by plotting to control

government.

Mr.. Cudahy retired from active bust
ness in 1915, appointing his son
Michael, the executive head of his

sons entered the war he again be-
came the chief executive.
Mr.. Cudahy was born in Ireland.

SISTER MARY GERTRUDE
DEATH OF VISITATION NUN IN
ST. PAUL is SEVERE Loss
WAS EVER A MODEL RELIC
iOUS,

Last Tuesday morning, at nine
o'clock, the funeral obsequies of Sis.
ter Mary Gertrude Farrell were held
in the chapel of the Visitation Con.
vent, st. Paul. Very Rev. J. C. Byrne
officiated, assisted by Rev. Francis
Burns. After Mass the reverend
celebrant spoke of the virtues of the
deceased and emphasized the neces-
sity of leading a good life as a prep
aration for holy death.
Sister Mary Gertrude, Honora Far
rell, was born in st. Paul, May %,
1873. She was educated at St. Bene-
diets Academy, st. Joseph, Mimi, and
finished her training at the st. Paul
Normal School. Miss Farrell then en-
tered the Sibley School, as teacher,
where she evinced great strength of
character, a lovable disposition and
deep piety. This combination of gifts
enabled her to exert most favorable
influence over every character, even
the most unruly. When she entered
the Visitation Convent in September,
4o1Oi ICI llSlpdl lclL I1ldC lll6 OiUlGy
School had sustained an almost ire
parable loss.
AS religious, Sister Mary Gertrude
simply changed the field. of her activi-
ties and usefulness. Of her it may
be said that she truly fulfilled the in
junction of Holy Writ: Bear ye one
another's burdens, and thus fulfil the
law of Christ" for she was a source
of strength, comfort and consolation
to everyone with whom she came in
contact. She served the community
in various capacities. Sound judg-
ment, coupled with tender sympathy
and deeply religious spirit, rendered
her invaluable in whatever position
she was placed. ....
Her fatal illness came ten days be-
fore the final summons. Wonderful
endurance in the midst of excruciat-
ing pain, and sweet resignation to
Gods holy will, testified to the degree
of sanctity that her soul had reached.
Sist.r asary Gertrude's death was
symbolic of her life, calm and peace
full. Her loss will be deeply felt for
years to come. May she rest in
peace!

AME RIGA - CRITICISM, LIKE
CHARITY, SHOULD BEGIN AT
HOME.

Sir Edward Carson forgets more
than his good manners when he says
that the United States should mind
its own business, notes the San Fran
cisco Examiner.
We would like to call Sir Edward
Carson's attention to the fact that if
the United States had minded its own
business the Germans would now
probably be in full occupancy of Eng
land, be demanding of England the
oppressive indemnities and the terri
torial extensions which the Allies are
now demanding of Germany.
II the United States had minded it's
own business and not taken any action
in regard to the late European con-
f1ict, another German house than the
House of Hanover would be heirs to
the throne of England, or would hold
England as a dependent province, with
Canada, Australia, Ireland and other
parts of the British Empire separated
from Great Britain and at liberty to
conduct themselves in individual in
as they might see fit.
Even minding it's own business, the
United States has a perfect right to
be sympathetic with Ireland.
We are supposed to be genuinely
democratic government and people
favorable to democratic institutions
and republican forms of government
everywhere, solicitous for oppressed
nations and for weaker countries held
in bondage by the military force OF
stronger nations.
There is not one subject nation
which the Convention of Allied coun
tries at Paris has released from the
domination of Russia or Austria OF
Germany or of any European power
which can show the same ineradicable
and uncontrovertible record of oppres

government as Ireland can show.
