GEN. EGAN DEAD.

Gen. Patrick Egan, one of the
founders of the home rule move
ment in Ireland and former United
States Minister to Chile, died in the
home of his daughter in New York
on Tuesday night after an illness
of several weeks. Born in County
Longford, Ireland. August 10. 1S41.
Gen. Egan became an influential
business man in Dublin. From
boyhood he was identified with the
Irish Nationalist movement. In
addition to being one of the found
ers of the Home Rule organization
in 1871, he also helped to found the
the Irish Land League in 1879. Gen.
Egan was one of the defendants
with Parnell when the Irish leader
and number of associates were
prosecuted in Dublin in 1880 for
sedition and conspiracy. Gen. Egan
came to the United States in 1888,
settling in Nebraska. where he estab-
Iished a number of grain elevators
The next year he was elected Presi-
dent of the Irish National League of
America, holding the position until
1886. Identifying himself with the
Republican party in the United
States. he took an active part in
Nebraska politics, and headed the
Nebraska delegation to the Repub-
lican national convention in 1888.

surely Messrs. White, Brumleve and
Miller will furnish it, and that is
how many of the Board of Works
employees We're used in making
precinct canvasses for the Re
publican machine on the taxpayers
time and how many of them will
serve as registration officers next
week also at the expense of the poor
taxpayer? That's economy-for the
Republican machine.
The Board of Safety gave old
economy" another whirl this week
by introducing an ordinance to raise
the salaries of our keystone police
and chick" firemen, which will cost
the citizens of Louisville about
$4,000 annually. But here's the
rub. No one would object to the
raise if we had real police and
fire department, but when we have
a comedy police force, which has
received the attention of the entire
world because Of buffoon perform
ances, and a fire department COM
posed in the main OF "hicks". then
you can't blame the public for kick
ing, and there is sure some kicking
being done against the raise. The
street car strike proved to the salts
faction of everyone that we bad a
rare Banu Cd nsysroners masquerade
ing as policemen, and the fact that
the Board of Fire Underwriters
classes Louisville officially as a
"third-rater" is sufficient 9 to the
quality of our firemen. Ms-ybe the
Board of Safety members have been
reading about the big salaries given
Charlie Chaplin, Fatty Arbuckle and
the other screen artists. so why not
reward our keystone police, who are
comedy daily
The strike has been a real treat
to the comedy cops, who are riding
around in "flivvers" having the time
of their life, and judging from the
actions of one Saturday night at
Fourth and Walnut they stop some
times at places where they don't
know we are living under prohibit
tion reign just now. This flivver"
came through Fourth street at a pace
that would have made Barney Old
field look like he was standing still.
People were scattered right and left
and the fact that the semaphore
was against them did not worry the
jolly comedians as they came right
through singing merrily as they
went along. Here's one firm that
won't approve of the raise of the
keystone salaries: The Associated
Bottling Company on Tenth street
was robbed last Saturday and next
,morning at s o'clock the book
keeper called up police headquarters
and asked for police assistance. He
was told to call again at 10 o'clock,
when some one would be around.
Can you beat that? The Keystoners
have office hours, and it's cinch
our burglars have office hours &C
cordingly. Speaking of sleuths the
Detective Department pulled funny
one recently. A detective and news
paper reporter took a long joy ride
to Dallas, Texas, to arrest
suspect. Well they came back with
a two-column story about the re-
markable resemblance between the
Dallas and Louisville absconder. The
story went all right until they
published the photographs and that
spilled the beans. The man whom
they went all the way to Dallas 10
look up at the city's expense looked
as much like the man they were
seeking as he did like the detectives.

CARSON WITH WILSON.

The President says that article IL
of the constitution of the League OF
Nations opens the door of the league
for the consideration of Ireland's
case. Is this really so? When we
remember that in article 10 the
league is pledged to respect and
preserve the territorial integrity of
its members, we can see that not
only has ireland nothing to hope for
from the league. but that the league
is artfully designed to keep her and
other nations in a like situation in
condition of perpetual enslave-
ment. Had the President been
candid he would have told the
people that when ne accepted the
British view that the Irish question
was purely British domestic ques-
ton, he virtually made 1t impossible
for ireland to bring her grievances
to the official attention of the
league. That the wise ones under
stand this is evident from the fact
that Sir Edward Carson favors the
league.

Several men were found capable of

We rejected all consideration of jobs

We did not want any man who had

that was the smallest sum on which
he could live properly and clearly

more than 500 of the first 5000

might be called silk stocking jobs
and we didn't bother with them.
We went after the cotton sock and
beefsteak and potatoes stuff for
men. And we found it to an extent
that exceeded our expectations.
"While we rejected several thou
sand so-called opportunities as not
worthy of the men, we found that
we had openings for more men than
applied for work Employers had
places for 70,023 men; there were
62,211 applicants on our books.

ly we could not find more than
fifty-three men suitable for that
kind of work. Requests came to
us to supply tailors. locksmiths,
shoemakers, BARRIERS and detectives,
for whom places are yet open.
1--WE were gratified, of course, to
see men put forward by us land
happily in $1,000 a year jobs. But
there was a sad incident in con-
nection with the highest-salaried
place on our list. 1t was manager

had all of the mental qualifications,
but he was turned down because of

Reconstruction it not merely a
material thing of dollars, buildings,

personal thing of spirit. All the re-
construction remedies in the country
can never restore the broken trust
OF men and nations, the proper
respect for righteous authority, the
great ideals of truth and justice,
unless there be a spiritual repair
ment as well. Genuine, lasting re-
construction, conducive to greater
good, comes not from doing out to
frenziend, starved people new gov
ernments. new religions, fantastical
theories, etc., but from a training
of the heart and will follow out the
great principles OF Him who is the
origin of all trust, OF all authority
and of all truth and love. 1t has
been with this basic ideal in mind
that the National Catholic War
Council has made such great
progress on the European side of the
Atlantic since the signing of the
armistice in November 1918. This
organization, one of the seven co.
operating in the united war work
campaign, has labored necessarily
since its inception, not only in the
handling OF the grave problems dur
ing the worldwide conflict, but In
dealing with the far more serious
ones that came In the wake of the

Fifty million dollars a year, That
is a lot of money. 1t represents the
yearly earnings of 1892 discharged
soldiers who have been placed in
the professions and the trades in the
Northeastern States through the
efforts of the Knights of Columbus
Not one of these men has been sent
to a job that pays him less that SIS
a week--the X. of G. does not con-
slider offers of less than that sum
for the work of a returned soldier.
The story of what has been done
in seventy-five days by the X. of c..
to open the door of opportunity to
overseas men reads like a romance of
the modern business world. First
of all the X. of c. sent out an
army of soldier and sailor can
vassers. They visited 248,3S4 en-
ployers in the New England States,
New York, New Jersey, Pennsyl-
vania, Delaware and Maryland. They
found 70,023 jobs waiting for cap
able men.
The work in the Northeastern
States constitutes about one half of
the national effort of the X. of c.

of the country have not yet been

tell the story:
"In the Northeastern States alone
we have found employment for 3d.
