To deport the Bolshevlst is perhaps
the easiest way to rid this country of
his inane and insane mouthings; but
Uncle Sam would hit him = heavier
jolt by forcing him to bathe and go to
work. Your soap-box orator loves
dirt and despises honest labor.

PRACTICAL ANARCHY
ATTEMPT TO BLOW UP CHURCH
AND SCHOOL IN TOLEDO.

The receipt Of threatening letters
by Rev. Anthony A. Pirnat, pastor of
Holy Rosary (Slovak) Church, and an
attempt to blow up the combination
church and school building at Toledo,
Ohio, has created a feeling of uneasi-
ness in the foreign section of the city.
A stick of explosive, placed in bar
rel in closet of the school, recently,
was discovered when the fuse had
burned to within an inch of the stick.
The fuse was eXtinguished, and the
two hundred children in the building
at the time were sent to their homes.
Father Pirnat believes agitation, TO-
mented by Bolshevists and [. w. WIS,
is responsible for the situation.
Two men and a woman, all Russian
born, have been making speeches for
a week in hall near the building, in
which they urged the overthrow oil
our present government.

QUEST OF 5000 TO ARCH
BISHOP IRELAND.

The estate of Archbishop John Ire
land of ST. Paul was left 5000 by A.
l.. Larpenteur, pioneer st. Paul resi-
dent, who died recently, according to
Mr.. Larpenteur's will filed in probate
court
An estate of $4,000 was left by Mr..
Larpenteur to be divided as follows:
5000 to Archbishop Ireland, $1,000 to
his daughter, Mrs. M. E. Briggs, with
whom he lived for the past few years,
and the remainder of his estate to be
divided equally among his ten sons
and daughters.
Mr.. Larpenteur's diary, which he
had kept since he was young man,
was given, together with his library
and some other historical relics, to
the Catholic Historical Society.
The diary must be edited by the
society, according to the terms Of the
will, and printed in pamphlet form
to be sold for the benefit of the So
ciety.

would fain have themselves called
Catholics, yet to the inquiry of any
stranger, Where is the assembly of
the Catholic Church held?' no hereto

house" When the Bishops of the
early centuries gathered in solemn
council and insisted upon the term
Catholic they showed that it was the
common term applied to the Church
to distinguish it from sects that were
never Catholic in extent, nor in doc
trine, nor in time.

edge was the hunger of his intellect
for the truth. The dazzling vision of
the great verities that hedge round
the throne of the Eternal ever called
him to greater attitudes of intellectual
effort He knew that the knowledge
of the divine projections inevitably
engendered love Of the Most High in
the human heart. That he was so
convinced he tells us in that simple
yet beautiful reply which he made to
his Lord after the delivery of lucid
exposition of the dogma of the Blessed
Eucharist We are told that his Di-
vine Master was SO pleased with his
treatment of things sacred that He
vouchsafed him a vision of himself,
saying to him: Thou hast written
we'll Of Me, Thomas, what reward wilt
thou have?" And the faithful servant
nobly replied: None other than thy
self, Lord Only too well did Thomas
realize that he could not have chosen
better His life had been one long
pilgrimage towards the Possessor of
all Truth. He had measured the
worth of things created by their prOX-
unity to or distance from, the living
Fount of truth, and now that the
Source from which all truth and
beauty emanated was within his grasp
he did not hesitate to accept it as his
supreme reward.
And as ST. Thomas loved the truth
so should we in like manner. We
were created to love and know the
supreme truth and we should regard
whatever tends to separate us from
our final goal as amongst the greatest
create a cleavage between us and a
happy destiny is sin, deviation from
the moral order All sin is funda-
mentally false and walking it's ways
we can never expect to attain to the
| dwelling place of truth. Christ the
| Lord has told us that He is ''the Way,
| the Life and the Truth" We cannot
expect to reach the Truth if we cling
here below to the ways of falsehood
And the world is replete with false
hood, with a teaching and a spirit
which are at war with Christ and all
| that the Christian idea represents.
Such spirit runs riot in social life,
| in books, in the daily press, in the
stage and commercial activity. We
can never hope to rid ourselves of it's
poisonous presence and can never af-
| ford to cease from the struggle
against it. We have to fight whether
we will or not if we wish to be vic
tors in the strife. Laying down our
arms means defeat and the triumph
of falsehood. We were given a des-

mortal beings, and Providence did not
consult us when 1t committed to us

remember that we have to do business
with the Almighty That business is
the saving of our souls, the plotting
of them over the seas of life to the
harbor of Eternal truth. To that SUI
preme business we must make all our
undertakings subsidiary. When SO we
live we shall act as Providence de
mands; we shall find the way that
leads beyond the changing things OF
time and space to the immutable
Truth that abides with the Eternal, to

Authority and Discipline.

And the reverence which we main
tain at home we should carry with us
when we become units of the larger
collegiate family. Here, too, authority
must be enforced and its effectiveness
is considerably dependent on the dis
position of those who are bound to
obey. If we regard those who are
placed over us at school as rigid task
masters who revel in doing unpleasant
things for the mere reason of making
their victims unhappy, we are labor
ing under a radically wrong concep-
ton OF the ends of discipline Such a
belief will inject a poison into our
academic life and render useless the
splendid opportunity given for moral
development through the agency of
self-denial and self-sacrifice Our
obedience shall be merely a physical,
servile one resulting from fear or
some kindred motive. We will not
have the feeling and conviction that
what we are doing we are doing as
free and willing individuals aiming at
self-betterment.
And in proportion as we reverence
authority in the home and at school
we shall become good and useful citi-
zens of this Republic. The seeds of
all good citizenship are sown in family
life for the family is the most essen
tial unit in the composition of a ma
ton. The family is the oldest social
entity on earth and if it's life is dis
| torted the life of the national super
structure will suffer in like manner.
If tiliaf respect does not govern our
actions at home where the voice of ma
ture calls for submission much more
clearly than in the state, where our
relations with those who govern
should be of the most sacred char
acter we cannot hope to read sa-
cred meaning into the duties of citi-
zenship. Yes, we must bear in mind
that as we honor authority in the
home and in the school we shall honor
i it when it speaks through the rulers
of our country. If you love your par
ents you cannot dishonor the flag.

Congress Urged to Act.

Finally, we urge this claim that
peace and order may be brought out
of the chaos with which the whole
world now seems to be threatened
In this great hour when governments
are being reformed, and when peoples
long oppressed by tyranny, are emerg-
ing again into the sunlight of liberty,
let there be sincerity and unselfish-
ness upon the part of those who are
controlling the Peace Conference, to
the end that the mistakes of the Con-
gress of Vienna may be avoided and
a peace made that will be lasting and
permanent, because it will be just and
right.
Upon the shoulders of our Presi-
dent and Congress rests in the last
analysis the responsibility of the
peace that shall be made. We urge
them to act in accordance with the
doctrines laid down on our behalf
when we entered the war, and in &C
cordance with the resolution recently
adopted almost unanimously by the
Foreign Affairs Committee of the
House of Representative to the end
that autocracy and militarism may be
forever destroyed, and that the right
of self-determination shall be given to
all the peoples of the earth.

FOR FREEDOM OF IRELAND

in every way to coerce or to persuade
or to cajole the people of Ireland to
give up their devotion to their ma
tional aspirations and tried them all
in vain. Lloyd George within the last
few months has been compelled to
assert that Ireland is at present as
much opposed to British rule as in the
days of Cromwell.
Determined to Be Free.
The industries of Ireland have been
destroyed; her trade and commerce
wiped out; her population cut in two;
her leaders deported and held in Eng
lish jails without indictment or trial;
and yet within the last two months
the people, with an unity never be-
fore attained, have again declared
their utter dissatisfaction with Eng
lish rule and their determination to be
free. England refuses to listen to the
voice of Ireland, but we point out that
England likewise refused to listen to
the voice of the American colonies.
England was compelled, less than a
century and half ago, to recognize
the independence of the colonies, and
within the last year the efforts of our
country saved England and her Allies
from total defeat at the hands OF the
Central Powers. The land to which
England was thus compelled to do
justice has just saved England in her
hour Of need. Let England now real
iZe that justice to Ireland, which she
has SO long denied, with grievous loss
to Ireland, but also with great loss
to herself, will now remove from her
path the bitterest hostility which she
has to encounter all over the world
and will convince mankind in general
of the sincerity of her declarations
when she says that she believes in
liberty and justice for others as well
as for herself.

TEXT OF RESOLUTION ADOPTED
BY IRISH RACE CONVENTiON-
PRESIDENT WILSON ASKED TO
lNTERCEDE FOR IRELAND'S
RIGHTS.

Following is the text of resolution
adopted on February 90 by the con-
vention of the Irish race in America,
in session in Philadelphia, calling on
President Wilson to urge the Peace
Conference to grant Ireland the right
to national self-determination:
The Resolution.
We, the delegates to the convention
of the Irish race in America, assem-
bled in Philadelphia, the city in which
the immortal Declaration of American
liberty was given to the world and
speaking for many millions of Amer
lean citizens, call upon the President
and Congress of these United States
of America to urge the Peace Con-
ference, now in session at Paris, to
apply to Ireland the great doctrine of
national self-determination and to rec
ognize the right of the people of Ire
land to select for themselves without
interference from any other people the
form of government under which in
future they shall live.
We urge this claim, in the first
place, in the name of justice, recog-
nizing and insisting on the truth set
forth by the founders of our Republic
that all governments derive their just
powers from the consent of the gov
erned.
We urge this claim in the name of
America, insisting, as we have just
shown in the case of France, that we
are not an ungrateful people and re-
calling that no other people have con-
tributed more than those of Irish
blood to the creation, the upbuilding,
the development and the preservation
and defense of our great country.
Unparalleled Struggle.
We urge this claim in the name of
Ireland, because of the unparalleled
struggle for now seven and half
centuries that Ireland has carried on
for national existence and liberty, be-
cause all efforts to break down and
destroy that existence have failed and
because of the extraordinary majority
by which less than two months ago
the people of Ireland declared not
alone their dissatisfaction with the
government of their land by England,
but also their determination to gov
ern themselves without interference
from any outside influence or power.
We urge this claim in the name of
humanity, because we believe that
war cannot be ended and just and
permanent peace cannot be brought
about unless the doctrine of self-de-
termination be applied to Ireland and
the people of that country be permit
ted to decide for themselves the form
of government under which they shall
live.
We point out that England has tried
