Support Catholic Pres:
BISHOP McNICHOLAS PLEADS
FOR THE CATHOLIC PRESS

Msgr. McNicholas, the new Bishop
of Duluth, in the first circular ad-
dressed to his clergy, says:
1T is a matter of regret that the
Catholic press is not better supported,
and that Catholics of the United States
are not more interested, generally, in
the events of the Catholic world"
He ascribes this deplorable state of
affairs to the desire for the sensational
developed by the secular press, and
suggests as an antidote the placing of
Catholic papers in the higher grades
OF the parochial and in all classes of
the high schools. His idea is that
every teacher should devise some plan

either by asking for a summary of
their contents once a week or once a
month or by requiring an occasional
composition based on articles appear.

En- NETS Day In
Duluth A Success
A. o. H. Hold Open Meeting at cathe-
dral High School.

Duluth. March s. - The motives
which inspired Robert Emmett to do
and dare so nobly are today the mo-
tives and purposes which are underly-
ing Ireland's struggle for a govern
ment by and for the people," Rev.
Brother Bernadine of Cathedral high
school said last night when members
of Division No. 1, Ancient Order of
Hibernians. observed the one hundred
and forty-first anniversary of the birth
OF Robert Emmett at an open meeting
held in the lodge room.
"The new day of liberty, which has
dawned upon the world, brings with 1t
the assurance that Ireland's ancient
title to self.government must be rec
ognized by all liberty-loving peoples"
Brother Bernadine continued The
cause must triumph because it repre-
sents the aspirations of a people who
will no longer brook the denial by any
hostile government of the reasonable
demands of people who refuse to re-
main as bondmen in a world redeemed
to liberty. Thus, the Irish people and
their descendants in this and in every
other free land may we'll lift up their
heads and with beaming eyes and
bounding hearts behold the old ma
! tion's Ship of State proudly breasting
the surging tide that is waiting it
safely, securely. into the harbor Of ma
! tionM freedom and independence.
"Emmet's epitaph VIII be inscribed,
not. indeed. on the lowly stone that
! marks all that was mortal of the
| noble patriot. but gloriously blazoned
| on the topmost arch of the new Tenn
pie OF Liberty. which the Irish nation
will raise to his memory and that of
his compatriots. An admiring world
| shall read the inspiring legend: Ire
| land. Il nation once again, redeemed to
liberty through the splendid courage
and unwavcring fidelity of her people
| to the glorious cause consecrated and
| sealed for cvermore by the blood of
! their best loved martyr-patriot, Robert
Emmett"
Recites Emmet's Speech.
] Edward j. Sheppard of the Cathe-
dral high school gave the speech which
Robert Emmett delivered from the
dock. Miss Eva O'Neill with Miss
! Theresa Lynn as accompanist, sang,
! Relieve Me If All Those Endearing
Young Charms" and when Irish Eyes
Are Smiling" Great credit was due to
members Of the Cathedral high school
orchestra, whose selections included
america" "The Star Spangled Ban
lner." Come Back to Erin" and "The
Harp That Once Through Tara's
Halls"
Fred l.. Ryan, who presided at the
meeting, reminded the audience of the
vote that was passed In the house Of
representatives the day before to con-
slider favorably the claims of Ireland
to the right of self-determination.
