Catholics of the United States are
about to be enrolled in the campaign

of indecencies from motion pictures
and the stage.
The National Catholic Welfare

Welfare Council is soon to add to it's
present activities it's own Bureau of
Review, which will furnish criticism
and information to Catholics concern

purpose of effecting concerted Cath

HANGINGS IN IRELAND.

AS each press report comes in
more details Of gruesome murders
by the English government in Ire
land are brought to our notice.
The loathsome black and tans, re-
cruited from the scum Of London
and the jails of the empire, are
given carte blanche to perpetrate
any and every sort Of heinous
crime and outrage that the most
debauched imagination can con-
Jure up. At night they enter a
peaceful home, assault the de-
fenseless women, shoot any men
or boys who may be in the house
and depart for the next scene OF
slaughter. So far have things
gone that at present we learn each
night the male members of the
family are forced to leave their
homes and seek refuge somewhere
in the open, for the black anc
tans make speciality of murder
ing such persons while asleep
Marching along the countr,
roads, these blackguards take {
pot shot at any man or boy seel
working anywhere within gun
shot.

take of attributing such tactics t,

new EDUCATIONAL BILL
STATE SUPERVISION OF PARo-
cHIAL SCHooLS-BIsHoP KEEL.
LY FAVORS LAW - SAYS
CHURCH WELCOMES HELP OF
STATE IN KEEPING SCHOOLS
UP TO STANDARD.

AS the result of a meeting of church
and state officials in Lansing, Michi-
gan, last week to review the proposed
bill providing for state supervision of
private and parochial schools, objec-,
tionable clauses in the measure have
been eliminated and it now apparent
ly meets the satisfaction of all de-
nominational heads concerned, says
the Catholic Vigil
The Rt Rev. e. D. Kelly, Bishop
of Grand Rapids, who with Ernest, A.
O'Brien, Detroit attorney, represented
the Catholic Church at the conference,
declared that the assistance of the
state in the supervision of Catholic
parochial schools would be great
help in keeping these institutions up
to high standard of efficiency.
"The Church." he said, lis as anxi
Gus to keep pace with the prBgress in
education as are the officials of public
schools, and | am sure every Catholic
would welcome the cooperation of the
state in the effort to keep our schools
up to the mark"
Make RevisionS.
Revisions made in the bill since
the meeting provide that the sanitary
conditions Of private and parochial
schools, the courses of study and the
qualifications of the teachers shall be
of the same standard as those re-
quired by law in the public schools
and that the private and parochial
schools shall be subject to the same
supervision as district boards of edu-
cation exercise over public institu-
tions in their charge.
The bill allows teachers in private
and parochial schools until Sept. l..
1925. to obtain certificates equivalent
to the certificates held by public
school teachers teaching in the same
grades. Originally the bill set the
time as Sept. /, 1923.

GETTING BACK TO FIRST
PRINCIPLES.

A year ago last September the
Catholic Hierarchy of America
met in Washington and formulat-
ed a code of principles for social
action and betterment. The pro-
gram of the Bishops was hailed
everywhere as wonderful piece
OF social legislation. Civic bodies
OF every persuasion looked upon
it with an admiration akin to rev.
erence. While Catholics paid it
the usual respect they manifest
for all the pronouncements ema-
mating from legitimate authority.
This document was quoted in
courts of Justice and in the halls
of national legislation. When
the "Great Commoner" made a
faux pas before a senate investi-
eating committee, he was told by
a senator present to read the
Catholic Bishops program. "
English social bodies recognized
it's worth and applauded its wis
dom. just recently the Federal
ed Protestant Churches in Amer
lea decided to issue a program of
their own, and they paid the gra-
cious compliment Of incorporat-
ing in their own document large
portion Of the Bishops outline of
social legislation.
The strange part Of all this is
the fact that all the Hierarchy
did was to recall to the minds of
men the age-old principles of jus
tice and charity. Nothing new
appeared from their delibera-
tons; no new doctrine was
launched, no revolutionary meth
DDS proposed to meet present day
problems: the centuries old COM
mand to render unto Caesar the
things of Caesar, and to God the
things of God, was the founda-
ton and basis of the admonition
given by the Catholic prelates
So far had men wandered from
this ideal, that at the voice Of the
Church the world appeared
startled, then pleased, and finally
applauded.
The whole solution of present
evils consists in getting back te
first principles, the laws of jus.
tice and charity towards all, and
the nauseating emotionalism and
sentimental, enervating laxity
towards evil will quickly run its
course. Without just such prin.
ciples the world will labor in vair
to readjust itself.

Indians to lay waste the Thirteen
Colonies of our own Republic: the
same eXecrable spirit that raised
Mortified hands, red with Irish
blood, when outrages-much less
than reported-occurred in Bel
GUM.
As Chesterton remarked short
thine ago, England is laying ira
dition right now by her brutal
treatment of Ireland that will rise
up and stare her in the face in her
future moment of need. The
world will remember and will sus-
pect even her overtures for peace
and friendship,
The press Of Europe is not
slow to condemn these outrages
against every known law of civil
lied nations. The French papers,
especially, are bitter in their con-
demnation of the acts Of their late
allies. Thus, LIE Correspondent
says: "One must be prepared to
see in the will to fight for free
dom periods Of abatement and
periods Of intense effort. In this
sense it is the very soul Of Ireland
which today, no more than in
184S, 1900, 1851, 1641 or 1907, is
not reconciled to English Domino
ton. Ireland alone may never
be able to wrest her independence
from England, but in her great
ness she will be for the latter a
source Of trouble, sometimes a
danger, always a shame
This week brings the news that
the government has now resorted
to hanging: Carranza preferred
shooting his prisoners, while Nero
burned those whom he disliked
But Lloyd George likes shooting,
burning and hanging when there
is question Of the Irish.

POPE INVITES K. c.
HOLY FATHER REQUESTS
KNIGHTS TO INTRODUCE AMER
IcAN WELFARE METHODS INTO
ITALY.

Organization of the American meth
cd of community welfare work
throughout Italy is the task which
Pope Benedict XIV has asked the
American Knights of Columbus to un-
dertake. In communication to the
headquarters of the organization in
this country European Commissioner
Edward L.. Hearn of the K of c.
states that, after numerous confer
ences with Vatican officials, the prop
osition to be laid before the Knights
is that they organize throughout Italy
with Rome as the seat of radiation,
athletic clubs for the benefit of the
Italian youth.
Established Reputation.
The people Of Italy have great es-
TEEN for the Knights of Columbus, he
reports. The recent K. of G. pilgrim
age to the Vatican, witnessed by large
crowds in every city through which
the knights passed, confirmed the rep
ed in Italy through the Italian press
reports and the verdict of the Italian
military authorities on the war well
fare work conducted in Europe by the
knights. Pope Benedict believes that
the K. of C. are the only force that
can successfully introduce into Italy
American welfare methods that will
mean the social salvation of the coun
try of Columbus.
The work, if undertaken, will be
supported absolutely independent OF
the X. of C. war fund. The entire
matter will be decided upon at the
next meeting of the K. of G. board Of
i directors in Washington, April 3.

in Rome by Pope Benedict he stressed
the necessity of their undertaking thi:
new work.
