CATHOLIC SERVICE CLUB
WOMEN PLAN TO MAKE CON-
MUNlTY HOUSE PERMANENT
INSTITUTION IN NATIONAL CAP
lTAL.

The fact that in January alone near
ly $4,000 persons availed themselves
of the various activities of the Ma
tional Catholic Community House in
Washington and that over $1,000
meals were served in it's cafeteria
during the same period has convinc-
ed the Catholic Women's Service Club
that such a community center, pri-
marily for Catholic. girls-though
others are always welcome-should be
of as permanent a nature as possible.
Consequently it has embarked on a
campaign to raise the moderate sum
of $4,000 with which to purchase the
building now occupied by the com
munity house.
At present there are living accom-.
mOdations for nineteen girls. 1t is
the ultimate intention to make the
house a home for transients and girls
who are looking around for accommo,
dation, and q two-week limit will be
enforced
There are classes in first aid, parlia-
mentary law, etc.
Rev. Lewis J. O'Hern, c. S. p, is
chairman of the club.

PRAYING FOR VICTORY.

The recent titanic world strug-
gle taught the nations one means
of achieving victory. The value
of prayer was impressed upon the
peoples as it had not been in
years. Lord Roberts recognized
this when he said that all England
needed was to get down on her
knees. In fact, that is just what
all the countries of the world
needed. Prayer rose to heaven
from out Of every land and God
disposed the victory according to
His will.
The Irish bond issue is pro-
crossing favorably throughout the
United States. The sons and
grandsons of Erin have hardened
to the call and have offered of
their substance to assist the
motherland. We have yet to hear,
however, Of public prayers being
sent heavenward to further the
cause. In the depths of the Win
ter at Valley Forge Washington
was found ON his knees in the
forest, begging the divine help
and assistance. Foch requested
the prayers Of the little children,
and our own soldiers went into
battle fortified with the reception
of the sacraments and the prayers
Of their chaplains.
Would it be out Of place, there
fore. to institute novenas and
prayers for the freedom of Erin
1t is said that in a great cause one
should work as if all depended on
work, and pray as if all success
depend solely on prayer. Is not
the present an appropriate time
to put into effect so salutary a
counsel?

SHOOT THE IRISH LIKE DOGS

That was the advice given by
the followers Of the gentle Naza-
rene who came to America to
"put an end' to the talk about
Irish freedom. The gentlemen did
not use these words in America
they were too canny for that
they reserved them for their Ca
madam brethren.
An article in the "Ottawa Citi-
GEN. February 20, said:
The keynote of the Ulster mis-
sion in Canada was given by Mr..
Coote in Toronto, when he said,
with reference to the elected rep
resentatives Of the Irish people:
They (the British government
should have shot them down like
dogs ON the Streets The Ottawa
addresses were quite in harmony
with the spirit that prompted the
utterance. If the purpose of this
delegation were to educate the
people in Canada upon the real
merits Of the case against self
government for Ireland, then the
mission was a dismal failure.
Whatever may be the opinions Of
the majority of Canadians OH this
great world issue, there are very
few who will subscribe to the
brutal sentiments expressed
above.
We can understand the rage
and chagrin Of these men coming
from the United States, where
they were unwilling witnesses to
the mammoth receptions given
to De Valera, and the welcome by
governors and mayors in many
states and cities. If they them
selves were as well received as
they allegc, why did they not ac-
cept the challenge given to them
by De Valera to meet him on any
platform, to discuss the issue on
it's merits before a representative
American audience?
These men. seven in all, could
not, with all their braggadocio
about fighting till the last ditch
stand up before the whitening
llogic of canon De Valera, but
they must needs go to Canada
and HE themselves into churches
and there raise the old-time re.
ligious cry.

An experienced exchange says
that running newspaper is just
like running a hotel. When a
man goes into a hotel and finds
something OH the tables which dis
pleases him, he does not raise
hades with the landlord, but Sc
lects from the many dishes offered
one that suits him. Some news
paper readers-and the Catholic
press in particular, seems to be
blessed with such-follow quite a
different policy. If they find an
article in their paper that does not
suit them, instead of passing it
over with the thought that it may
interest and please others, they
make grandstand play and tell
the editor how the paper should
be conducted and what should be
put into it. If he refuses to allow
their dictation, they ''stop the
paper" Our contemporary
thinks that this class of subscrib-
ers is growing smaller. We hope

full. He has adorned the many
apartments in his castle with the
fairest trophies OF virtue and of
honor. 1t is a joy. privilege to
be admitted to this. castle, rich
with wealth Of truth and nobility.
On the other hand, certain per-
sons dwell in inaccessible dun
geons. Their mind-castle is rem
devious for all things dark, sinis-
ter and vile. Their retreat is peo-
pied by full-grown thoughts of
hatred, ambition and treachery, or
by the budding thoughtlets of fu-
ture villainies. 1t is unnecessary
to warn off visitors: no one cares
to enter, as the external aspect is
alone sufficient to repel the most
hardy. Now and then a sign Of
gaiety is perceptible, but it is of
the hollow, hooking variety that
portends stratagems and spoils.
A man has it in his power to
adorn this mind-castle and to rule
it as he so desires. 1t is his by
natural right. According as his
nature is straight and true, or low
and despicable, will be the build
ing thereof. Useless it were to
feign what he possesses not: such
deception would ensnare only the
imbecile.
There are men moving among
their fellows today. men whose
mind is a deep and horrible dun
geon of basest designs. Their
look alone speaks volumes: it is
an open guide book to the wind
ing galleries Of darkness within.
Contrasted to these are those up
right and straightforward beings
whose castle Of the mind is place
Of joy and rest. Invitation to
view the beauties within is gladly
accepted, eagerly desired. Admit
lance thereto is by card only. The
card bears the single word :

A MANS CASTLE.

The English have a pretty say
ing, one recognized by modern
law, to the effect that a man s
home is his castle: intangible, in
violate. A man possesses also an
other retreat no less sacred and
exclusive. 1t is the castle of the
mind.
The mind of a man is sur
rounded by an impenetrable fort
ress: he admits and excludes
whom he may. To his friends the
portcullis is down, the gate is
open, and Welcome greets them at
every step. To the enemy, to the
prowler or the mere curiosity
seeker the walls bristle, with artil-
lery.
Some mind-castles are beau
teous things to behold. Within
and without they bear evident
signs of mental prosperity. Their
owner is known at once as a lover

EAM0N De VALERA
STANDS PAT NOTWITHSTANDING
OPPOSITION OF SMALL FACTION
GABLES REINSURANCE TO
IRELAND,

A disagreement has arisen in the
ranks of the American Friends of Irish
Freedom over the advocacy by Presi-
dent De Valera of the Irish Republic
of the application to Ireland of the
principle of the Plat amendment gov
erning the relations of the United
States and Cuba.
AS soon as De Valera came out with
this proposal, he was assailed by John
Dewey in the Gaelic American and
charged with hauling down the Irish
flag" Justice Cohalan of the New
York Supreme Court, lined up with
Dewey, and the word went forth to
repudiate De Valera. 1t is reported
that the leaders of independence in
ireland were advised that De Valera
had deserted the cause.
De Valera Cables.
De Valera is standing pat in the
belief that Cohalan and Dewey repre-
sent only small faction. With ref
erence to the charges made against
him, De Valera sent the following
cablegram to Arthur Griffith, Acting
President of the Irish Republic, care OF
the lord mayor of Dublin:
THE declarations of allegiance to
the republic made by the newly elect
ed municipal councils and executives,
when known to the American public
and their significance realized, will be
of vast assistance to us in our cam
paign for recognition. Now, word to
the wise is enough.
1.-The Irish people are too wise to
allow themselves to be disturbed by
Misrepresentation, no matter how
adroit, no matter how cunning, no mat
ter whence they may emanate.
This is not the time to sidetrack
our advance into the by-paths of a
profitless discussion based on a series
of ifs. My attitude is, of course, the
same as ever. All is WELL"

POLITICS AND RELIGION.

A correspondent writes to in
quire if a Catholic may become
President of the United States.
By all means he may if he receives
the required vote. Such a con-
tingency, however, seems remote,
considering the mental com
plexion of the average voter. In
this country a mans religion is
strictly his own private affair as
far as the public is concerned
provided he is not a Catholic run
ming for office.
Every man is at some time Or
other a paradox to his friends, if
not to himself. The foundations
of our glorious republic were ce-
mentcd by the blood Of men be-
longing to almost every creed:
one kind of blood was considered
to have as permanent a quality as
another. The business Of govern
ment is conducted by men of all
and Of no UNCONVENTIONAL affilia-
tons: and, as a rule, the govern
ment is just and upright. But
when a Catholic shows his head
upon the political horizon, it is
thought by many to portend com
plete eclipse of the whole nation
should that head be permitted to
cast it's shadow upon trembling
and Mortified people. Now, just
why this should be so constitutes
paradox. People will trust a
Catholic in business; they will buy
from him, sell to him, form a part
nership with him; they will marry
Catholics, send their children to
a Catholic convent, and praise a
Catholic who has distinguished
himself in the realm of science,
literature Or. war: But certain
people will not vote for that same
man, simply because of his faith.
During the past war Catholics
held positions Of highest trust in
every branch Of government: and
they were uniformly successful.
Perhaps it soothcs the susceptible
tiles of hyper-nervous persons to
limit Catholics to the sphere OF
hewing wood and hauling water );
but let such an one elect to aim at
political preferment He is a
Catholic! exclaim the un-Amerl-
can, he must be disloyal. Well, it
he be disloyal because of his faith
then the Catholic "disloyalists'
who formed thirty-eight per cent
Of the army, and about fifty per
cent of the navy in our recent war,
did fairly we'll What could they
not have accomplished were they
thoroughly loyal! .....
Every man has his Vulnerable
spot not a few Americans, broad
and undetermined in everything
else, show the rift in their armor
of Americanism precisely in this,
that they hate to vote for Cath
Ollie for public office. "A man who
can fight and suffer for his coun-
try may not prove SO disloyal,
after all, in guiding that country
on the road of success and pros
perity in public office. Anyway,
it's worth trying once: maybe a
Catholic President would surprise
/ some of our fellow-citizens. He
might possibly not be an Abraham
Lincoln; neither would he be an
