she hasn't got much except worry out

made by Private John J. Kelly, Chi
cago, when told that he had been
awarded the American Medal of Honor,
the worlds highest decoration for
heroism. "But l never thought 1

Private Kelly is the only living mar.
inc receiving the coveted decoration in
this war. Though the marine brigade
had close to 10000 casualties, the
heaviest of any brigade in the expe.

with medals of honor. The other went

Reputation Of
Statement
Dublin Corporation Makes Protest to
the Government Against the Ma
Iicious Propaganda Circu-
lated in United States.

THAT we, the members of the NUM-
cipal Council of the City of Dublin,
enter our strongest protest against
the gross and malevolent misrepre-
sensations of Ireland pursued by the
Government in the United States;
that we repudiate in the strongest
possible terms the suggestion con-
tanned in their publications that the
Catholic population Of Ireland are
actuated by higotry of their Protestant
felloW-cOuntrymen or of any hostility
to them, because of their religious con-
victions or because Of their political
opinions; that we protest against the
moneys for which Ireland is so heavi-
ly overtaxed being utilized in so scan
dalous propaganda; and, that copies
of this resolution be forwarded to Mr..
Lloyd George and President Wilson"
The foregoing resolution was unani-
mously adopted by the Dublin Cor
poration. The mover, Mr.. P. T..
Daily, said very few knew the cam
paign that the British Government had
been engaged in to misrepresent Ire
land in the States. He had in his
hand a document which had been cir
culated in America and from it one
| would imagine that the Catholics of
Ireland had set themselves deliberate
ly to boycott and malign their Pro-
testant fellow-countrymen.
Imagine money which was raised
through the over-taxation of Ireland
being spent in propagating misrepre-
sentation of that character!
Costly Lies.
In the document the Dublin Corpora
ton was denounced, and Belfast ex-
tolled, and it was stated that Ulster
Professionals were opposed to Home
Rule because they believed that the
present system of single Parliament
gave the best security for national
safety, and for just and honest govern.
ment. The Ulster .Protestants were
described as an educated and progress
| sive community, and the Catholics as
backward and largely under the influ.
ence of their priesthood.
| A sum of 10000 dollars per day had
been expended in promoting such pro
paganda. He went on to quote fur
Their extracts which charged attacks
upon soldiers who had been in the
war, and which he described as bitter
misrepresentation of a chivalrous ma.
ton, while they had gentleman who
had attained to Cabinet rank who, be
yond doubt, was engaged in a Ger
man plot. That gentleman was behind
the propaganda.
1t was further said by the propagan
dists that in country where the PEG
pie were overwhelmingly Catholic the
Protestant had no sense of security
He had in his minds eye little town
in the West of Ireland where there
were about seven large employers Of
the Protestant faith respected and
prosperous in the midst of a Catholic

WEARING OF THE GREEN RECON.
STRUGGLED.

(By Pauline Connolly, Florence, XVI
On, people dear, and did you hear,
The news that's going round,
That freedom is denied to those
True Celts on Irish ground.
And when we meet our soldier boys
And take them by the hand,
We say: "How's poor old Ireland.
And how does she stand?"
Oh, say, our Celtic warriors bawl.
Don't worry DER the green,
Just keep your tears for British red
It's very plainly seen.
Confusion is upon them
Who flaunt Bolsheviki red,
st. Michael and st. Patrick
Can avenge the blood that's shed.
Poor British red that no one wants.
They'd better change around,
And shake that color ere they sink
into their quicksand ground.
George Washington our country freed
From Red Coats ever more,
He told them all to "beat" it
From our land and from our shore.

To ask the Sisters to devote part of
their summer vacation to such studies
seems hardly fair, in view of the
fact that so many of them are giving
up part of that time to work along
scholastic and professional lines,
though many Of them would, no doubt
be willing to do so. Fortunately, an
approach to solution of this vital
problem has been made by FIR. John

greatest drawbacks in handling our

THE OCCASION WILL
DEVELOP THE MAN

Republicans haven't any available
man to run against Senator Charles
Curtis in the 1920 primary. If they
had held back Bristow, or Stubs or
Scott in 1918, it might have been
different, but TO use to run loser
AGAINST favorite. So, it's Curtis for
the Republican nomination next year,
in a walk. And what's botherin' us
more than that, is: Who can the Dem
ocrats pick to beat him ?-Paola
Spirit, May 9th.
I We agree with Mr. Sheridan in the
above statement except in the last
sentence. If the Democrats would
enter but one candidate in the sena-
torial primary, and see to it that that
one was the right man, the Kansas
Democracy would next year bring out
the best candidate the party alnd the
people were ever asked to support.
And we admit that's saying whole
lot.
| Kansas Democracy is in better
shape to win than ever before. Fac
tionalism is gone. Factionalism dis
appeared when "the boys" with their
ballots, voted all the Democrats in
Kansas out of office in 1918. Any
one who had an imaginary sore spot
or grudge got even. And it's true we
are better fighters out of the
trenches. Then, have you stopped to
consider that we have more strong
talking points than ever before /?
Our great point, of course, is the
League of Nations as advocated by
President Wilson. The economic
and reform legislation enacted by
the Democrats prior to the war is
also a tremendous asset. On state
affairs Governor Allen has terribly
muddied the once clarified waters,
and in Kansas Democratic success in
1920 is much brighter than it was in
1912. So why shouldn't we trot out
our best men for all the offices e?
Discussing candidate for United
States senator, there is no man more
qualified or more available than Hon.
Jouett Shouse, of Kinsley, at present
first assistant secretary of the United
States treasury. Jouett Shouse is
not only the biggest man in Kansas,
but is one of the truly big men in ma
tional affairs. And he is just as
familiar with Kansas affairs as with
national affairs. During his four
years in the state senate hewas chair
man of the ways and means commit
tee, and his grasp of taxation qpes-
tons was evident from the very first.
His career in congress was both bril-
liant and constructive. To Mr.
Shouse as much as anyone else, we
owe the credit of working out the
scheme for the federal land bank. 1t
is he who came to the front last year
in providing a way for the western
farmers, VINO had lost all for two or
three years, to get seed wheat that |
has put them on their feet again.
Like dozens of others, Mr.. Shouse
was caught in the tidal wave last |
year, and was defeated for re-elec-
ton to congress. Secretary of the
treasury, Carter Glass, familiar with
the superior ability of Mr. Shouse,
Immediately made him his first as
sistant secretary.
In this new position Mr.. Shouse
has clearly demonstrated his bigness.
