March 20, 1928
The appearance of the serpent of
personal animosity and misconception
was shown editorially in local paper
Saturday evening, st. Patrick's Day,
with no other intention than to
create divisions and poison the minds
OF its. readers which, so far, has been
fairly successful. When the fair
minded people of New Britain realize
the sugar coated pills they have re-
ceived in the past they will readily see
the old motto Of divide and con-
quer."
The appearance of the serpent's
head was on the day the Irish the
world over laid away all their walls
and woes and joined in as one to do
honor to the patron. saint of Ireland
when millions the world over were
singing the following chorus as one:
God, save Ireland! said the heroes,
God, save Ireland! said they all.
Whether on the scaffold high
Or the battlefield we die,
oh, what matter, when for Erin dear
we fall?"
When the Irish people join hands
as they joined their voices the serpent
of animosity and personal attack will
Ito longer appear, the sugar coated
pill OF. bigotry and strife will dis
appear from amongst the Irish people
at home and abroad. s
