The Irish standard. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn. ;) 1886-1920, 1919-01-25

Although the work of the Y. M. C. A.
here is not characterized by Mr.. Tip
pies methods, still it is in the eyes of
the Italian obviously Protestant, as
was pointed out in previous letter.
So it is good that the Roman
should see the Catholicism of Amer
lea here. During the war it is to the
credit of the American propaganda
organization that it has not failed to
bring before the eyes of Italians the
great many things American Cardin-
ais, Catholics and Catholic organiza-
tions have done.
In another way the leading Ameri-
can Catholic organization can do good
by establishing itself here and stay
ing here. 1t ca. get into touch with

1t has been said here often lately that
Italy and America have much to gain
by a future knowledge of one anoth-
er. 1t is not for me to suggest which
American or Italian Catholic organi-
zations-will gain more by closer
knowledge and association.
Visitors from across the Atlantic
have confessed that the evident per-
ennial solidity of things Catholic
here. from the Vatican downward,
brought them new and valuable trains
of thought. On the other hand, solid
ity tends sometimes to immovable-
ness; and Catholic thought and action
here has a wonderful deal to gain by
being brought in close contact with
the spirit, that looks around and says:
''Let me see what is it that wants
doing?" and, when it has seen, goes
straight away and does it.

ity, and provides for him like help.
less child.
Even now the labor unions ought to
work in this spirit, educating men to
spirit of enterprise, to social re-
sponsibility and to executive ability.
These manly virtues, however, cannot
be produced spontaneously. And
whence should they suddenly appear
in the Socialist state, if above all the
root of all virtues, religion itself, is
to be torn from the human breast?
In fact, the individual will have no
opportunity to practice them.
And thus the Socialist state would
be a moral desert. For how should
men, who have never exercised these
virtues in their private life, suddenly
be qualified to practice them in the
administration of the public welfare?
How should person, who has never
learned to save in his private econ
omy, know how to manage wisely and
parsimoniously the funds of a politi.
cal household? 1t makes no differ
ence how often it is denied, the fact
remains, the Socialist state fails to
urge the exercise of social virtues;
therefore, it cannot educate man COM
pletely, for man is not here to safe
himself with bread And because it
cannot rear men, it will perish of in
ability to recuperate itself.
Saving exercises wonderful moral
influence. 1t confers dignity upon
man, and self-reliance. 1t teaches him
to calculate, to look into the future,
to conquer himself, to become master
of the monetary pleasure and in
clination. 1t is not BETTING man to
live life of improvidence. Where
does Socialism teach the necessity of
| saving? 1t harbors no intention to
elevate man internally, to ennoble
him and increase his worth morally.
Self-sufficiency and independence is
, the result of saving. But the slave
state of Socialism cannot use self
sufficiency and Independent men

proportion. So it is going to be an
excellent thing that the Knights of
Columbus, the great Catholic organ
ization, should have permanent
home here, a center for American
Catholics, who come as we'll as those
who live here. A center is whole
some thing.
There has been stray talk lately of
an American church in Rome; but,
after inquiry in responsible circles
here, have not found anyone, who
sees the advisability of that. There
is the college, the center for all things
ecclesiastic with the rector as the
representative and at the service of
American Catholics for audiences and
the like. But you do not make ap-
pointments at the college to see your
friends or drop in on the rector to
ask him the best way to see the city.
For confession and Lenten sermons
in English, too, there is the English
speaking Church of San Silvestro Ec-
Realistically Rome makes provision
for American Catholics, but the new
center has it's place.
1t is an excellent thing, to begin
with, that the Roman and the Italian
should realize the fact of the existence

England" and Protestant America"
have been shibboleth here; and the
strength and fervor of the Catholic
church in America have not been real
lied.
Mr.. Triple, however, the American
Methodist minister in the Via Xxx Set
tembre, has never failed to put him
self before the eyes of the public with
an anti-Papal propaganda, the scandal
of which has been as we'll known in
America as here. OF recent years,
since the fall from the capitol of his
similarly-minded co-worker, Ernesto
Nathan, Mr.. Triple has not doomed so
large in the public eye. Possibly the
funds have fallen off; possibly he finds
too much publicity is not good for him.

most conservative country of Europe.
We now see the whole of Russia and
Central Europe formed into new re-
publics. There are mutterings in those
countries which were neutral during
the last war. Is it likely that Italy
and England will be the only king
doms in the world? If so it is be-
cause they are now virtual republics,
but they can be Socialistic, kingdoms
as we'll as Socialistic republics.
The English Government is endeav-
oring to keep down the populace by
supplying cheap food and amusing
them by picture houses, just as, when
the freedom of the Roman Republic
ended, the Roman Empire endeavored
to keep the people quiet by grants of
wheat and gladiatorial contests.

INDUSTRIAL REFORM POSSIBLE
UNDER PRESENT SYSTEM. THE SOCIALIST
STATE WOULD Be A MORAL DESERT

The laborer has the right to organ
ize in order to exercise pressure in
favor of his interests. The immedi-
ate aims of organization are fair
wages and favorable conditions of la
Dor, and protection against the arbitra-
riness of the employer.
Organization elevates the laborer al
so morally; be becomes conscious of
his class, the sense of dependence
diminishes, his interest in the well
fare Of the community increases, a
keener sense of responsibility for the
veal and woe of society awakens
with the consciousness of influence.
The significance of organization is ex-
pressed and recognized in the collec-
tive bargaining. Contracts thus en-
tered upon should be guaranteed by
qualified courts and boards of arbi-
tration.
Gradually it will come to pass that
organized labor no longer represents
mere class interests, but in league
with capital, as recognized and
equal factor in production, regulates
industry in the interests of the
whole community. For both capital
and labor must be animated by the
spirit of solidarity; neither the one
nor the other exists for itself, but
nfyy 1,o
higher aims of civilization.
Labor associations should make the
cultivation of the social and economic
virtues matter of special concern
1t is in this that their high education

sists. Therefore, they must procure
capital and manage it for their com
mon interests. Capital will secure
for them power in representative
bodies and make them independent; il
! will afford them the necessary oppor
tunity for the exercise of the virtues
mentioned.
Socialism never inculcates the prac
tice of social virtues; it's system will
render them superfuous; yet the duty
of society to rear men is prior to its
duty to raise potatoes. A system
which renders the cultivation of so
cial virtues superfluous is not quail
fed to rear human beings. Such &
system would stunt mans moral quail
ties and resources, and, finally, i'm

One Chief Secretary After Anothe
Leaves the Country With Nothing
But Malice Of People.

John Sweetman, in letter to the
Dublin Independent points out that
since 1903 there have been fifty-four
Chief Secretaries of Ireland. He also
states that while the question Of the
hour is to break away from England,
the future form of government will
probably be republic, not a king
dom, as kingdoms are no longer popu-
lar. He also draws attention to the
endeavors of the English Government
to quiet the populace by supplying
them food and amusing them by free
shows, method which was employed
by the Roman Empire previous to its
fall. Mr.. Sweetman's letter is as fol.
Toys:
The French writer, Louis Trequiz,
in his recent work on Ireland, says.
Since 1902 fifty-four chief secre-
taries have passed through Dublin, and
most of them have left without being
initiated into the secrets of Irish ad-
ministration. 1t is the public offices
which rule by means of sixty-seven
Boards, Commissions independent OF
each other, who mutually ignore each
other, and are all-powerful and ire
sponsible."
In these few words the Frenchman
truly describes the Government of Ire
land. Is it any wonder that it has
not been successful?
The Parliamentary Party have pub
licly gone in for Self-Determination for
Ireland, but, at the same time, they
deride the idea of an Irish Republic,
It seems to me to be time enough to
consider the actual form of our future
government when we have the power
to determine it, and that it seems alb
surd to think that any nation would,
at the present day, freely constitute
itself into kingdom, but lovers of a
king can try to persuade Ireland to be
alone in the world, and be kingdom,
when we have the power of Self-Deter-
mination.
John Dillon now heads the great
shop-keeping class in supporting the
landlord class in it's demand to re-
main under the power of England, and
wishes to go to the Peace Conference
with this demand. But is this wise
for their selfinterest? England can
not escape the great Socialistic move
ment of the moment. Lloyd George is
trying to lead it, and has succeeded in
getting the rich to join him, notwith-
standing his old boast of intending to
rob the hen roosts. He will be op-
posed by the Labor Socialists, who are
more honest and do not profess to wish
to rob any one.
AS long as Ireland is joined to Eng
land the English policy for the mo-
ment will be forced on us. If Ireland
were independent, being practically an
agricultural country, she would be the

of the ceremonies of this reception is
the presentation of a sword to the

the Jesuit schools of this country pre-
sent the Marshal with this sword.
Such a gift would be quite appropri-
ate, M. Knecht added, because the
Marshal himself is an old Jesuit
"boy," having received his education
at the Jesuit College of st. Clement
at Metz; and besides, Marshal Foch's
brother, German, is a Jesuit Father

Sir H. PIunkett

Says Peace Conference Can't Ignore
Irish Demand. Choice For Eng.
land Between Force And
Justice.

On the eve of Sir Horace Plunkett's
departure for the United States on
Jan. Is, he published lengthy state
ment of Ireland's case in the Man
chester Guardian Sir Horace said:
Although Ireland cannot get into
the Peace Conference, the Irish ques-
ton cannot be kept out of it,
In the opinion of the former pre-.
siding officer of the Intellectual Irish
Convention, there are only two ways
in which the British can deal with the
Sim Fem situation in Ireland.
One is to employ force, which
method, he says, all Irishmen know
would be doomed to failure. Such a
policy, he says, unfortunately, is ad-
vocated by powerful section of the
Coalition
On the other hand, there should be
made at once "a firm offer of a rea-
sonable measure of self-government. ("
He adds: Notwithstanding the not
unnatural demand of a majority of
the Irish people, the settlement should
come from the free nations of the
world assembled in the Peace Con-
ference. They have the intelligence
to know that prosperous, contented,
united Ireland could be far better
realized by an agreement between
those Immediately concerned"
Sir Horace declares that there is
nothing ridiculous or contemplate in
the attempts of the Sim Feiners to
make the British Government of Ire
land impossible, adding: "By wrong
handling of the situation it may be
made acutely dangerous, while by ju-
dicious methods the enthusiasm and
solidarity which exist now almost for
the first time may be concerted into
a real constructive force"

SEEKING PROTECTION.

Only what was to be expected is the demand that is being made that there be revisions of the tariff whereby American industries will be protected against the competition from other countries where labor is much cheaper and particularly Japan.
 When there was shutting off of the goods that were received in this country from Europe at the opening of the war Japan was quick to see it's opportunities and take advantage of them. In many lines of production has it been undergoing much develop ment for the purpose of supplying the American market. It hastened to take advantage of the chance to furnish toys for which goods so much depend ence had been placed upon Europe be- fore the war. and novelties, buttons pottery and silk are being sent to this country in large quantities.
 According to the figures of the de- partment of commerce the balance of trade between the United States and Japan is held by the latter. Last year Japan sent to this country goods to the value of about $302, 100000 and bought from us goods to the value of about s274.0o0.o00, while the Japan sse trade review shows in the four

A Correction.

Mir. Editor: In reporting Tuesday evenings meeting or the proposed Junior High School your reporter con- fused two sets of figures which I quoted. thus seriously misrepresenting the local situation.
 My two statements were:
 (a) Of those who enter the Fifth grade 12 per cent. do not reach the sixth. 27 per cent do not reach the seventh 42 per cent do not reach the eighth 72 per cent. do not reach the ninth
 (b) Of the Fifth grade 12 per cent do not reach the sixth.
 Of the Sixth grade IS per cent do not reach the seventh.
 Of the Seventh grade 20 per cent. do not reach the eighth
 Of the Eighth grade AS per cent. dc not reach the ninth.
 In the interest of accuracy and ot Justice to the Norwich schools, I beg to request that you print this correc- tion. The problem of loss of pupils is every where serious, in Norwich par ticularly so, but it is not so bad as were the figures in this mornings Bulletin make it appear. Very truly yours,
