(From the Dublin Daily independently
Paris. Sunday.-I have spent con-
siderable time going through volu-
minous batch Of press cuttings, all of
which show that the question of Ire
lands claim to be considered as dis
tinct nationality, with the right of au-
dience by the peace conference, gains
ground in the Continental press. The
papers which have seen are too nu-
merous to set out in detail, and
merely give a few of the more i'm.
portant ones.

lican appeal to the free nations of
the world" and, commenting on it,
the paper refers to Ireland as being
one of the oldest nations in Europe,
having maintained it's national stand.
ard in spite of 700 years of foreign
oppression" Then Avanti goes on
to say that from the International
standpoint, the question of Ireland
is of the greatest interest.
"She is," says the journal, "at the
gateway Of the ocean-in fact, she is
the last sentinel of western Europe,
a point where meet the commerce of
east and west. Therefore, her inde-
pendence seems indispensable in or
der that the sea may be assured.
Aarbors Open to World.
"Her harbors should be open to all
nations, and not merely to English
control. These magnificent harbors
for too long have been empty owing
to English imposition, which has con.
sidered Ireland only as a buttress or
fortress for the protection of her i'm
perialism. The excellent geographic
cal situation of Ireland instead of be-
ing an opening to Europe and Amer
lea is reduced to the position of a
mere 'out-work' of England"
"Avanti" proceeds to argue that
the English Government has abso
lutely no right over Ireland, and that
it's power up to now has been main
tanned through the treason of anti
Irish Irishmen.
La Prensa," an important Havana
journal, refers sympathetically to Mr.
OCeallaigh's efforts to be heard at

tility to the cause of Irish Freedom,
and convey the inference that their
policy is to promote English domina-
tion, not alone in Ireland, but on the
Western Continent. It would be in
judicious to allege that their resources
are being augmented as a recompense
for the policy they have adopted, or
that they are the victim of sinister in
fluences. We all are entitled to our
opinions, and are not to be deceived
by editorial Establishments, however
cunningly worded. The worthy jour-
nails that ignored the resolution of
sympathy for Irish Freedom, passed
by the State Legislature, are, indeed,
open to suspicion. Even in England
spirit of individual imitators is
visible in the Press. Northcliff's
shadow does not appear to be reflected
in the editorial columns of such papers
as the Manchester Guardian, the Lon
don Nation, the New Era, or the Lon
don Herald Contrast any of those
papers with the dailies of this coun-
try.
It may be averred that prudence
should dictate a more conciliatory at
titude towards such organs of power
as our newspapers undoubtedly are.
Cancellation is profound policy when
the eXigencies of the occasion demand
it; but when it is case of truth
against falsehood, conciliation mani
tests weakness, and weakness, not un-
like familiarity, breeds contempt Ger
tainly, the more friends that can be
won to the cause of the Irish Repub-
lie lighter will be the burden. If the
American Press were sympathetic, the
path leading to Irish Freedom would
be made considerably shorter and less
thorney. The Irish people, however,
are determined to no longer appear in
the garb of a beggar beseeching elem
ency and paltry concessions. They
are influential enough to cause a few
pigeonholes in the so-called League of
Nations if their just demands are ig-
nored.

THE AMERICAN PRESS
AND THE IRISH QUESTION

give but vague conception of the
the magnitude of English influence in
the realm of American newspaper
dom. The great press agencies, chief
among which is the Associated News
Agency, must depend, to great ex-
tent, on the good will of England for
access to the sources of foreign in
formation. The requisite dope" from
abroad must percolate through Eng
lish capillary tubes before it is permit
ted to reach the Atlantic. Those chan
nels through which the information
has to pass are subject to the direct
supervision of English officials who
are wise at the game and who take
good care that nothing shall escape
that is the least detrimental to their
own interests or to the Integrity" of
the Empire. Almost invariably the
news is so scientifically doctored
that when the prescription appears
in our morning or evening papers, it is
the reverse to what was originally in
tended, and we must perforce take it
in doses regardless of the consequence.
This, I suppose, is one of the many
advantages accruing to England from
being mistress of the seas" She is
our great doctor and teacher. We
must accept the medicine as she gives
it to us. 1t is sad commentary on
our American manhood that we so
complacently consent to such fragrant
outrages upon our rights. Are we not
entitled to have our news come to us
untainted by English interference?
Are we not entitled to know the truth
The daily neWs-sheets circulating in
the Twin Cities, without going further
afield, illustrate Enthusiastically the con
ditions against which the friends of
the Irish Republic have to contend.
The supineness of these sheets is pro.
voking, and their calculated disre.
gard of the aspirations of the Irish
people is an insult to our intelligence

MICHAEL K. STACK
OF DULUTH IS DEAD

land, Where His Parents
Survive Him.
Highly Esteemed BY Business And
Organization Associates and BY
The General Community.

The death of Michael K. Stack, who
died after short illness from pneu
monia at st. Mary's hospital at 1890
o'clock Thursday afternoon, came as
a shock to numberless friends and
acquaintances. Mr.. Stack was mem
ber of the firm of Stack & Co., and
one of the best known merchants at
the Head of the Lakes.
His parents, living in Ireland, seven
sisters and three brothers survive
Mr.. Stack was unmarried. Duluth
relatives were at his bedside when
he passed away.
Mr.. Stack was born in County
Kerry, Ireland, April 5, 1859. He
came to America about 40 years ago.
settling in Indianapolis, Ind, where
he, became associated with Bannon &
ago and became member of the
firm of J. K Stack & Co., which later
became Stack & Co.
He was a. member of the Duluth
Commercial club and of the Elks, the
Knights of Columbus, and the Ancient
Order of Hibernians.
The funeral was from Grady &
Horgan's undertaking rooms at II A.
M. on Saturday. Automobiles con,
veyed friends from the undertaking
rooms to Calvary cemetery. Rev. w.
J. Powers of Sacred Heart cathedral
officiated.
A requiem high mass was sung at
the cathedral Monday at 10 A. M,
which the knights of Columbus at
tended in body.
Editorial Tribute Of the Duluth News
Tribune.
In the passing of Michael X. Stack,
Duluth has lost fine citizen, most
successful business man and a man
who had that rare quality of heart
which knew his fellow men only as
friends. He brought with him from
his native land the charm of Irish fel-
lowship.
Mr.. Stack was one of Duluth's prom
inent merchants. He had built his
business from the ground up. He
gave it always his personal attention
and nut himself into it. But he did
not forget the other side Of life.
Today the universal comment is:
"a finer man and better friend never
lived" It is much to leave that leg
acy and. whether the span Of life is
long or short, to leave this influence
for good, to be missed with both sad
ness and the feeling Of rich gain
through touch with q fine character
is. after all. the dearest wish Of US
all.

THE IRISH QUESTION AGAIN BE
FORE CONGRESS.

Washington, April 10.-The ques-
tion of freedom for Ireland will be
raised in Congress again. Efforts
will be made to get the Senate to act
in the extra session. The House at
the last session passed the Gallagher
resolution favoring self-determination
for Ireland.
Senator Phelan presented In the
upper House a resolution similar to
the Gallagher resolution, but the
Senate adjourned before action could
be taken. The plan is to reintroduce
this resolution, though 1t may be
altered to conform to the resolution
passed by the House.

English Catholics Aetive|
In Social Economic III
~ and Political Projects
6 penses of Parliamentary
Campaigns.

London, March 2O-The Westmins-
ter Catholic Federation has deter.
mined on an ambitious project, which
has been in the air for some time
and which has the full approval of
Cardinal Bourne. 1t is nothing less
than to take tenancy of the large
piece of vacant land adjoining the
Cathedral and to erect thereon a
building, which shall serve to house
all the Catholic organizations, social,
charitable, etc., of the metropolis
Many projects have been mooted from
time to time for the occupation of
this waste land. Had funds admitted,
it would have been laid out as a gar
den, to set off the grand proportions
of the Cathedral; but the fact that
the Cathedral already shows signs of
wear in the fabric, which has to be
placed under the vigilance of experts,
emphasizes the need of turning this
ground into revenue. The alternative
of Catholic Central House is GER
tainly better than the block of flats,
which might have obscured the view
Of the metropolitan church. Large
funds will be necessary, but, if all the
Catholic bodies work together, these
should be obtained with little diff
Guilty.
Federation's Program.
The Catholic Federation has other
important works in hand. It proposes
to subsidize suitable Catholic candi-
dates for public bodies and for Parlia-
ment, who would otherwise be un-
able to stand. After Lent it will pro-
mote dances and entertainments for
the purpose of bringing the young
Catholics of both sexes together, with
a view to promote Catholic marriages,
which, since the latest figures show
deaths as exceeding births in this
country, is an essential to the future
welfare of the nation. A comprehen-
sive policy for British Catholics on
social questions has also been drawn
up by Father Platter, and will receive
the attention of the Federation.

LIMERICK STRIKERS oUTWIT

BRIDGE GUARD.
Limerick, April 23.-Limerick was
laughing today over the manner In
which the strikers, who Monday after
noon attended a hurting contest across
the river and in the evening were re-
fused permission to return home over
the Sarsfield bridge, outwitted the
military and got home. Marching
from the Glare end of the bridge to
a long pavement, they boarded train
for Limerick. When the station was
reached four persons left the cars
and tried to pass the soldiers at the
gate. While the argument was pro-
ceeding the other passengers, who
had remained concealed in the train,
darted for another door and window
and scattered in every direction. The
guard was unable to halt them and
they all soon were home.
