LOUISVILLE, KY. MAY 3, 1919 MARY'S MONTH. With Thursday we welcomed the beautiful nionth.

of May, which Is dedicated to tiro Blessed Virgin Mary It Is a beanm or universal and extraordinary devotion to tho Immaculate Mother of God. So Intimately "was the Blessed Mother associated with her Divine Son that we could not, if wo would, hondr and it fits in well with the prevalent philosophy that discards tho spirit ual and supernatural in its specula tions. Tho primary cause for the growth of Socialism may oe found In the fact that the model rystom of education prepaies minds to accept tho specific remedy for social and Industrial evils in Socialism. It Is puerile as well as futile to deny the existence of such evils. Wo would despair if we must" at- hei without honoring, loving and adoring Him.

Ict us 1iave true de- tribute these evils to tho ion laws votion to Mair 1f we wish to be of political economy and deny that said: "I society can supply a remedy.

In all tho churches public devotions are held during May to honor Mar'- Let us attend them and beg the intercession of our Heavenly Queen who has always been known as the safe refuse of sinners. situation ix Ireland. Extension of the Limerick strike against martial law from that city to tho whole of Ireland Indicates that a condition has developed there from which serious consequences may flow.

There Is no doubt that for some time a tense situation has prevailed throughout Ireland, owing to, the garrisoning of a large army there and' the praotical enforcement of martial law by tho British Government. It seems to "be the intention of the military authorities to piovoke open rebellion. All know what that would mean. A general strike in itself means passive resistance only. But the danger of disorder and conflict is greatly increased by the strike.

If it can be kept within limits by tho Irish labor leaders all may be well. But the danger of further trouble is imminent. We can only hope that disorders will not follow the proclamation of the strike. 8ECIIET TREATY. seciet Jtrcaty Qf London, which was enfeied into by England, France and iRussia Italy is now returning to plague its promoters.

Italy exacted her price for participation in Hhe war. The other nations were willing to grant it in order to secure her co-operation against the central empires. That wis before President Wilson's idealism was introduced to European politics. This country was not a party to the treaty of London and our President Ary properly refused to be bound by it. Italy, with the other allies, accepted his principles as a basis for peace terms.

They should not now attempt to escape from them. has its duties and defines tho uses of wealth and lays down the only principles on which social peace can be secured. The Catholic Church has always been tho one organization that has apprehended the full meaning and menace of Socialism. It has stood alone In uncompromising position. When political paities used it as a recruit grounds for votes or a store from which to borrow campaign thunder tho church saw and pointed out the danger.

If wo would de stroy Socialism, or Bolshevism, wo must have a definite programme. Wo must fight the devil with Ore. Remove tho prerent cause of ifnrcst in America. The gospel of So cialism is a gospel of action and we must answer in Its own terms. May and 7 Annual charity en-' tertainmont of Ladles' Sewing Society for St.

While all our available ships aie engaged in bringing tho boys home the British ships which carried them over are carrying British goods to the markets of the world, and ousting the United States "from her commercial hunting grounds on the American continent. Tbls has not surprised us.

In fact, it" Is the very thing we expected to happen; we have said so time and again. Bring the boys home and let the Allies do their own policing of Europe; that is one way of squaring accounts with Great Britain, and an effective way, too. ar CHURCH IX FRANCE. WORLD XOW KXOWS. All the world knows that It was Northcliffe who made Lloyd George the Coalition Premier, and now these two have quarreled quarreled about a question of foreign policy wo are told, although it Is well known that the policy George adheres to -Was fathered by Northcliffe In January 6f this year.

Well, one excuse Is as good as another for the man in the street who does not look very deeply Into political matters. The truth is George has outlived his usefulness from the Northcliffe point of view. He is a Liberal of some kind and consequently was better fitted to deal with the crisis arising out of the demands of the workers than a Tory would be, but now that affairs are ibecomlng normal the crisis being passed Northcliffe wants his place for a Tory. That is the sum and substance of their differences. MENACE SURE ENOUGH.

The American. Defense Society 'has 'saued a statomont which contains tlvls, sentence: 'VTOie man who thinks that Bolshevism. Is not a menace to Atnorica Is himself a sourco of dan- gef- to tho state." Two thoughts may be gathered Bolshevism, which is nothing more than applied Socialism, can not be ignored and a "watchful waiting" policy wU tjpajl social suicide. It Is a mistake to believe that all Socialists laro elthor ignorant or deluded and that tho rank and 'file is nothing tout an unthinkable, mob. Tho virus ot Socialism is found in all walks of life, and the causo of Socialism extends for beyond the numtoor of professed Socialists.

In the extensive literature ot Socialism is ound evidence of (hard study and dp thinking. With an ttorce appeals to those (who ard imlMwd with modem t- Bofore turning over the fund of five millions which it is proposed to raise in America for the reconstruction of French churches, would it not be well to make certain that the Government there will not seize the churches as soon as they are finished? All church property In France was taken over iby the Government some years ago. It "should be the duty4of that Government now to repair the churches which have been wrecked In the war. And in comparison with the 'billions that have been shot away in the war the little Item of lhe millions Is a mere trifle. DISGUST OK CARSON.

Sir Edward Carson is so disgusted with the manner that government in Ireland Is being carried on that he has actually threatened to turn Home Ruler. The arrests and imprisonments and persecution of Irish Nationalists do not seem to satisfy him, although it is hard to see what more he Government can do to assert Its authority except introduce the policy of the Turks in Armenia. Carson's attitude toward organized labor has opened the eyes even of his Shankhill constituents and ho feels that his day amongst them is over. Whither shall he go? This is to him the all-Important question, and the Belfast workmen answer it by saying "he can go to (Miss Mildred Rapier has returned from a visit to her sister, Mrs. J.
