OF THE FACT THAT EDITOR

FALSITY.

Certain parties in Minneapolis and
elsewhere are circulating lying
pamphlet which is supposed to have
been printed by a paper which never
existed. It is evidently being sent
broadcast in the interests Of the
republican presidential candidate.
While we refuse to enter the political
arena we emphatically denounce the
Catholic origin Of this mendacious
filth monger. Here is the history Of
the lie.
The following story is taken from
the Kansas City Catholic Register:
That "catholic" Article.
The Masonic Chronicler Of Chicago
prints an article from the National
Catholic Register about the Holy
Father Of Rome's right to temporal
and spiritual leadership, and refers to
Secretary Tumulty, President Wilson
and the Democratic party as the best
friends Of the Catholic Church, etc.

LAST SUNDAY-AGED IRISH
scHooLMAsTER MAKES FIRST
NATloN-SEcoND DISTRICT
TO BE INVADED SUNDAY, oc-
ToBER II.
That the Archbishop Ireland Edu
cational campaign being launched in
this Archdiocese has awakened wide
spread interest may be apparent from
the following incident. Last Monday
morning very aged man walked into
the editors office of The Catholic Bull
letin. He appreciated the value of
Catholic education, since for more
than three score years ago he was
well-known schoolmaster in Ireland.
Age had greatly dimmed his sight and
enfeebled his frame, but his spirit was
still alert and flashing. In trembling
accents he said: Father, | have no
children nor kindred in whom | might
be interested. Neither have / any
thing of this worlds goods, for l make
my home with the Little Sisters of the
Poor in Minneapolis. Still l want to
do something to help our Catholic
children to get an education where
God is known and loved" With this
he drew forth his entire wealth, two
one dollar bills. Extending one-half
of his wealth he said, Father, give
this to Archbishop Bowling for his
campaign, and tell him it is from Ed
old Iris
schoolmaster.
If this generosity of spirit is char.
acteristic of our people as a whole,
the campaign for five million dollars
for our educational institutions should
at least double the amount asked.
Campaign is Opened.
Last Monday morning the first gun
of the campaign was fired. Every
pulpit in the Twin Citihs, comprising
the first of the five districts irto which
the Diocese has been divided, rang
with the appeal for the generous sup
port of our people. Reports from the
many priests who explained the OBJ
iects of the campaign indicate that
tremendous SuIuuSldSul lldS lSetuy
been aroused Our Catholic people
seem to be awake to the fact that the
call of their Archbishop is the sum-
mons of the Church pleading with
them to give concrete evidence of
their Catholic interest in moment
ous Catholic work.

young men from the various parishes
