WHAT ABOUT HARVEY S?

The recent campaign for state
and national Offices was marked
by an unexpected outburst Of ran
cid bigotry against everything
Catholic. AS usual, the Catholics.
with sheep-like dumbness, went on
their way and more or less ignored
the insults to their religion. An
individual member of the Church
would bitterly resent any implica-
ton or charge against his faith !:
the Catholic body bows it's head
and waits for the next storm. A
handful of insolent bigots and
blackguards is able to stir UP the
country with their blatant cries
of Roman peril :: twenty million
Catholics are unable to silence the
scoundrels. 1t is high. time that
we cease Dragging about our num-
bers, or else act in conformity
with this strength.
Roarback tactics were used by
political parties, and letters and
pamphlets were rushed out at the
last minute in an effort to
strengthen this or that candidate.
In one case the same letter was
made to do duty for and against
the same candidate, with the re-
suit that the contras won by a
wide margin. Truly, in politics Of
a. certain color the end seems, to
siustify the means, at. least iin the
minds q, B,
.sters.

AUSTRIAN CATHOLICS WIN
ELECT 70 REPRESENTATlvE TO
NATIONAL ASSEMBLY - WON.
EMS VOTE FACTOR IN ELEc.
TON.

Practically complete returns of the
Austrian elections held recently give
the Christian Social Party IS votes in
the National Assembly, the Social
Democrats 63, and the n-German
Party IS. Fifteen additional seats are
to be apportioned from the excess
vote, of which the Christian Social
Party will probably receive the
majority.
The women's vote was a marked
factor in the success of the Christian
Social Party in Vienna. In the better
class residential districts it exceeded
the male vote for the party by thirty
three per cent, and even in the poorer
districts the womens ballots for the
candidates of the Christian Social
Party outnumbered those of the men.
In two strictly workers districts the
female Christian Social Party vote
exceeded the male by $500.

!. Who WROTE IT !?
1.-THE EXILE OF ERIN AUTHOR.
SHIP DISPUTED-CONTR
VERSY is RENEWED.
(By n. G.. w. G.. News Service

(By n. &. w. &. News SerVlce.)
The authorship of the song, '"The
Exile of Erin" has been a subject of
controversy for many a year. One
school asserts that Thomas Campbell
was the author; another is equally
emphatic in maintaining that George
Vincent Reynolds West of Ireland
landowner, who died in 1902, was the
writer of the famous ballad. Today
the cudgels have been taken up by two
eminent Catholic authorities. DR.. W.
H. Grattan Flood, the musician and
writer, insists that the Campbell au-
thorship is beyond all doubt. In his
opinion, Reynolds claim to ''The Exile
of Erin" has been sufficiently dis
proved by M. J. Barry, in the second
edition of his Songs of Ireland in
1916.
Rev. P. A. Walsh, C. NJ, st. Peters,
Phibsborough, Dublin, has entered the
list on the other side. He states I'M
hesitatingly that any unbiased man,
reading the arguments, pro and con-
will declare Campbells claim to the
authorship of the Exile to be that of
barefaced plagiarist. He reminds
Dr. Grattan Flood that the first edi.
ton of NJ J. Barry's Songs of Ire
land" triumphantly establishes the
claim of Reynolds to the authorship
of the Exile" Father Walsh is about
to issue his second series of Songs
of the Gael and in the new work he
intends to set forth the arguments to
show that Reynolds, the Irish patriot
and poet, and not Campbell, wrote the
"Exile."

visit to Ireland and takes occasion
to write apologies to the shades of

to them: 1.-The conduct of our own

memory Of those whom the bright
company of Heaven holds in it's high
embrace. And it is fitting that your
brother Knights should be the COM

that in paying this tribute to you we

back in memory to rather Informal

rooms a few blocks away. A little
group of us had met to wish bon
voyage to one of our comrades, tic
one who proved to be the first Minno-
sofa soldier to step on the soil of fair
France-Our own Colonel Donahue.
On that night | too was the spokes-
man. 1t was long before the wild anti
German propaganda was let loose on
this country. But assured him in the
name of our brother knights that we
actually envied him, that there was
not one among us who was not pre-
pared to follow him, and that come
what whether our lot would be
to serve at the front or in somesneces-
sary work at home-he could ALWAYS
count on our loyalty, and that for US,
one and all, there would be no land but
the one land and no flag but the one

kept our troth, that we at home we q

America Becomes One.
Not the least of the attained results
on this side of the Atlantic has been
the cohesion of the various particles
of the melting-pot. If the map of
Europe has been dislocated the mind
of America has been solidified Pole,
Jew and Italian, Irish, Scandinavian
and German have drawn to the same
cradle, and Americanism, which somo
spoke of as an abortion, is now a
Legitimate and lusty offspring of
American soil. If League of Nations
was projected from the vitals of Yer
sailles for the aspirations of Europe,
a League of Americans for America
has been also procreated from the
womb of this war. This Republic, al
ways one territorially, is now moral
unit as well, with the Constitution of
the Fathers still for its instrument,
the Goddess of Liberty still for it's
symbol, and the Lord of the Sabaoth
still for its guide.

Soldiers Went Joyfully.
But some one may say, do not speak
to me of the soldiers cause: he has to
go. Our American soldiers had to go.
They had to go. Yes, but they went
with no goose-like or craven step.
They were craftsmen, not volunteers.
Yes, but they met the draft more than
halfway. Why were they thus eager?
Was it through mere love Of .adven-
ture as is natural to young and vigor-
Gus men? Was it through curiosity to
see strange lands, to learn new ways,
new modes of pleasure? These per-
haps in measure; but there was some
thing more, infinitely more. It was
because our Statue of Liberty pointed
tragically to Europe and beckoned
them imperiously away. The watch
full waiting was over; Athena had
sprung full-armed from the head of
Jove. To call them Crusaders would
be to repeat the complimentary exag-
geration of those excited days: they
