control over the voting in his state.
One significant part of their pro.

Would Trust People
To Obey The Law

In reply to your communication of
January S, asking me to be present
or be represented at a meeting Of the
clergy Of New York city and vicinity
under the auspices Of the Antf-Saloon
League, l wish to say that l cannot
see my way to accept your invitation %
wrote the archbishop. Permit me to
assure you that the Catholic Church
awaits no such occasion to lay stress
on the plain duty Of obeying the law
of the land. Obedience to authority in
Church and State is the very breath
Of Catholic discipline.
1T is extraordinary that the federal
prohibition amendment should be
singled out for particular attention
above other statutes equally binding.
The American people can be trusted
to obey every constitutional law.
II think that the function of the
churches IL to teach the virtue Of obe-
dience and then leave the enforcement
Of law to the properly constituted
agencies Of government"

Facts and Figures
About Ireland

Imports and exports of Serbia
amounted to $47,500,000.
Imports and exports of Greece
amounted to s61,500,000.
Imports and exports of Bulgaria
amounted to $75,000,000. $685..
Imports and exports of Portugal
amounted to $115,000,0O0.
Imports and exports of Rumania
amounted to $205,O00,000.
Imports and exports of Norway
amounted to $210,OO0,OO0.
Imports and exports of Denmark
amounted to $325,OOO,OO0.
While the imports and exports Of
ireland amounted to $500, 100000.
But more than 95 per cent of it was
done with England.
These figures prove the natural
wealth of Ireland.
The indisputable facts above pre-
sented clearly prove that Ireland can
stand alone and pay her own way as
nation. Judged by any standard,
Ireland is equipped for freedom. She
asks no favor, save recognition from
America, now that the elected govern
ment of the Irish republic is function
ing. England has shut off Ireland
from direct intercourse with the out
side world, with the result that Eng
lish middlemen secure not only double
freight charges and commission on
Ireland's exports to and imports from
other countries, but also England con-
trolls Irish trade by the operation of
English state departments, with great
consequent loss to Ireland.
Irish Independence means an in
creased trade with America-to the
advantage Of both countries.
A free Ireland with normal popu-
lation Of from fifteen to twenty mill
lions Of people, trading with all the
world as matter Of right, instead of
with England as a matter of compul-
sion, would mean another great mar
ket in which America could sell to
advantage many hundreds of millions
Of dollars worth Of American products
annually and from which we could buy
directly products now exported by Ire
land, but which reach England alone.
Irish freedom means prosperity and
peace and good will to all the world.
A failure to do Justice to Ireland
means that there will be no lust or
permanent peace.

Ireland is large enough, populous
enough and rich enough to run her

own money, for her own people, in
her own land, developing her anthra-
cite and bituminous coal, her enor-
nous peat deposits, her marvellous
possibilities in the linen and leather
and many other industries, as well as
in developing her great water powers
and using her unrivaled harbors.
Ireland does more business than
many other smaller nations-in 1917.

PariShiOner Has a
ga ga fright to Services

OF Priest But Should Also Assume
Responsibility to Church and Be
Known to the Pastor.
The members Of the congregation
have their rights defined and speci-
fed, when these rights may be OBJ
tained through the services of the
priest, says the Chicago New World.
It is therefore plain that parishion-
ers should be known to the priests.
They should be Of creditable standing
families and individuals. Rights to
the services Of the priests and to the
sacraments carry with them obliga-
tions. These should correspond, and
where obligations are thrown over,
rights are correspondingly obscured.
It is therefore against the spirit of
the law Of the Church and against the
truths Of religion to ignore or conceal
ones relations to the Church. The
burial in consecrated ground is for
hidden to those who deny their Catho-
lie faith. Tho priest at the funeral
services must know the relations Of
the dead in life to the Church, yet, un.
less he knows them % living accord
ing to the rules and the teachings Of
the Church, he does not know them as
their pastor. Catholics should blush
to be discovered" This is not to their
credit. To be found" only when in

We have such a large number of
those who apparently conceal them
selves, or at least their Catholicity.
We find so many who confess to nv-
ing in a parish for a period Of years
and who do not know even the name
Of priest when asking his services
In case of sickness. What is the
answer. unless that they do not care
to be known, since they do not take
the trouble to become acquainted? A
priest does not dare call upon fam.
fly or person of this class. Either he
will be insulted at the door or through
a speaking tube, or else, he will be un-
able to find anyone at home.
The obligation of contributing to the
support Of ones pastor follows on the
period of reaching financial RESPONSE
bflity. Young people are quite free
with spending money now. more so
than ever before. They earn money
at an earlier age. They earn greater
amounts than ever. Why should the
