JOE HIGGINS IN STATES.

News was received here Wednes
day night that Joseph N. Higgins
son of Mr.. and Mrs. William NJ
Higgins and a member of the Ken
lucky Irish American force, has
landed at New York and was sent
to Camp Merritt, N. J. Joe is a
member of the famous Fifth Regi-
ment, United States Marines, who
obtained world fame and made a
page for themselves in history by
stopping the German rush on Paris
last July in the battle of Chateau
Thierry. In that battle our young
marines not only stopped the rush
of the Prussian guards, the flower
of the German army, but turned
them back in utter rout, this battle
in the opinion of army critics being
the turning point of the war in
favor of the Allies. Just previous
to the close of the war Joe received
a wound in the shoulder from
bursting shrapnel and was in the
hospital for several months. He
has been overseas for year and
wrote recently that he will be con-
tent to get back to the land OF
peace, liberty and happiness and
will want nothing more exciting for
the next few months than to pick
the winner OF the Kentucky Derby.
Joe is sure of a real welcome from
the folks back home and the many
friends who are proud of our young
marine

SEMINARY COLLECTION.

Tomorrow in all the Catholic
churches of the Louisville dioceses
the annual seminary collection for
the education of priests will be
taken up. Following is the appeal
of the Right Rev. Bishop O'Donag-
hue:
Dearly Beloved Brethren: Dur
ing the season of Lent, now drawing
to a close, we have been meditating
on the sufferings of our Blessed
Lord as shown in the stations or
Way of the Cross. Next week is
way of the Cross. On Sun
day, April 20, will be celebrated the
great feast of Easter, commemorat-
ing the glorious resurrection of our
Blessed Saviour. 1t will be a day
of joy for all the faithful children
of the Blessed Lord.
CAS- you are aware, Easter Sun
day is the day appointed for the
annual seminary collection, to be
taken up at each of the masses on
that Sunday. This is one of the
important collections of the year,
and we respectfully request the rev
erend clergy to give its announce
ment special attention, together
with whatever explanation they may
see proper. We take pleasure in
mentioning that the Easter collec-
lions in past years have been uni
formly generous, and for this we
are sincerely thankful.
can efficient and jealous clergy
is necessary for the propagation and
preservation of our holy faith. The
priest is taken from among the
people, and is ordained for those
things that pertain to God His
office is to lead. to preach and to
baptize, and his life work is the
salvation of souls. Each year death
or disability lowers the number Of
active workers, and the ranks must
be filled up. otherwise the spiritual
welfare of the people would suffer.
The clergy are requested to take
up this collection at all the masses
on Easter Sunday"

sLANDERoUs PROPAGANDA.

Again the anti-Irish propaganda
is at work in this country. In a
number of dailies there appeared
the heading, Wave of Crime Sweeps
Erin" The basis for this sensa-
tional caption was a dispatch from
some Dublin correspondent to the
London Daily Maitland thence
carefully cabled to this country
which alleges that Ireland is merit
ing the title Land of Assassins. -
Organized murder and outrage stalk
through the country, this CORE
spondent states, and scarcely a week
goes by without some terrible crime.
1t is said a secret society is respon-
sible for this organized crime. This
society, which is strong, is de
nounced by the Catholic church.
Faced by community too terrified
to expose the crimes. the police
are helpless and it is impossible to
gain conviction. Only the powerful
influence of the church can prevent
these crimes.
Note the broad charge and the
flimsy evidence for it. Scarcely a
week passes without some terrible
crime. With population of about
four millions. entire freedom from
crime could scarcely be expected in
IRELAND. But even one crime a week
amid such a population-even if it
were true that the average is so
highs scarcely sufficient to justify
the heading in big type that wave
Of crime sweeps Erin. A secret
society is alleged to be behind these
crimes Organized murder and out
rage stalk through the country. The
society is not named, though it is
strong and denounced by the Cath
Ollie church. Strange that it is not
named. if that is the case. The po-
lice are helpless, and only the
church can prevent these crimes.
Blame the church for not preventing
them-that is the obvious thing TO
do. Blaclcen ireland as much as
possible, and lay the blame on the
church. That is killing two birds
with one stone. This is but sample
of the propaganda that is being
spread in this country by press
agencies that are hostile to Ireland.

THEY SHOULD LOSE.

English journals quite frankly
admit that British rule in Ireland
has not been a success They now
say that it is imperative to grant
some sort of self government to
Ireland. Just what form that will
take they do not tell us; probably
some new edition of the home rule
bill that was treated as a scrap of
paper by Lloyd George and his Min
listers. We have no expectation
that such a bin will now satisfy
Ireland. Nor will it placate the
friends of Ireland in America, Can
ada and Australia. 1t is to these
that can be ascribed the present
attitude of anxiety of the English
journals. Above all these do not
want to lose the friendship of
America They are in a fair way
to lose it unless something is done
for Ireland.

INTO ETERNAL REST.

Mrs. Ellen Hallinan's death on
Tuesday at the home of her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Joseph Dougherty, 3SOy
West Broadway, removes well
known and lovable Catholic woman
from this community. All through
life her genial disposition and In
clination to be of service to others
won her the friendship of a wide
circle of friends and acquaintances
Mrs. Mailman was seventy-eight
years old, and is survived by her
husband, Thomas Mailman. HeI
funeral took place Thursday morn
ing from Sacred Heart church, Rev.
Father Patrick Walsh celebrating
the requiem high mass. A tribute
was the presence of so many old
neighbors and associates.

MADE FRIENDS HERE.

Gen. John z. Mcmahon. formerly
commander Of Camp Zachary Tay-
lor, has been placed in charge Of
the army recruiting offices in Phila-
delphia. His appointment to this
position, IL is believed, will makS
him ex-officio head of all recruiting
work in the district. Gen. Mcmahon,
who has been on sick leave for two
months at French Lick, left Tuesday
to assume his new duties. He re-
ported at Camp Zachary Taylor last
week. While on overseas service
in France Gen. Mcmahon command
ed the Fifth Regular Division of
the army, which saw fighting in the
Argonne Forest and in Belleau
Wood. The assignment of Gen. Nc
Mahon to Philadelphia will place
him near his son, Major John q.
Mcmahon Jr., who is commandant
of the Officers Training School at
Princeton University. Gen. McMa-
hon made legion of friends during
his short stay in Louisville, and
every soldier found him his friend.

ANARCHY AND LABOR.

1t is not through anarchy that
the laborer can achieve his end,
but by a sane progressive system of
trade unionists that will not disre-
gard the dictates of religion; by a
rightful use of the ballot which shall
assure him the legislative measures
that can safely and surely help to
bring about true democracy in
industry as in politics; and finally
by a gradual education in co-opera-
tive enterprises that will enable him
to take an intelligent part in the
ownership and management of the
means OF production on which his
livelihood depends. SO alone may
we hope for peace. contentment and
popular prosperity.

FRIEND OF SMALL NATIONS.

We haven't heard any of the pro-
English boosters on this side an
swer or deny the charges of Arthur
Grifith, who in addressing the Irish
Parliament this past week said that
the British Government in the past
two years had undertaken the fol-
lowing measures in and against
ireland: Two hundred and seventy
one raids, thirty-four meetings sup
pressed, ninety-nine bayonet or
baton charges, 1,242 sentences, six
deaths from treatment in British
prisons and twelve Irish papers sup
pressed.

Take Labor by Hand,
Not Throat, Says Banker
F. H. Sisson Advocates Special
Training for Management
of Workers

OLD POINT COMFORT, Va, June
19.--Francis II. Sisson, vice-presiden mt
of the Guaranty Trust Company, speak
ing here to-day at the convention of
the Virginia Bankers Association, de-
clared that in the long run those Amer
lean employers of labor who take their
workers "by the hand rather than by
the throat" will fare best.
Labor" the banker insisted, "will
doubtless insist increasingly on the
right of collective bargaining. Those
laborers will gain most and perma-
rently who deserve to be taken by the
hand"
Labor, Mr.. Sisson said, is not al
ways sufficiently interested in the
quantity and quality of production.
For this attitude" he added, labor
is not solely to be blamed. The ad-
vantages which may revert to the work
ers as consumers generally are too re-
mote to elicit any special concern in
individual efficiency in production
Profit-sharing schemes and the like
are often suspected because arbitrarily
controlled from above. Scientific man
agement, so-called, whatever may be
its potential merits, has had few. if
any, real trials, for it can have fair
test only when more cordial relations
exist between labor and capital than
are usually to be found to-day.
Something may be gained, the
speaker said, in the recent spread os
the idea that the management of men
is function that not every man with
money and factory under his control
can exercise; that it requires special
ability and special training. The en-
ployment managers to-day represent
a departure in industrial engineering
which merits encouragement, he de-
clared.
After warning against pessimism,
the banker added: Il cannot view
the long future with alarm. I am con-
fident that we will Solve the problems
which have grown out of the war as
successfully as we met those created
by the crisis through which we have
just passed-provded only we stand
together and our government stands
behind business generally, instead of
