Address all Communications to the KENTUCKY IRISH AMBRICAN, 319-21 West Green St. PRINTING TRADES UNION COUNCIL LOUISVILLE, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1914 LIBERTY IN MEXICO. The triumph of the Constitutionalists was heralded as the beginof an era of liberty and ning of the people; the end of protection and oppression. Alas! tyranny Villa and their subCarranza, ordinates, in the exercise of power, show their true character-adventurers, plunderers, most cruel opworse than Diaz, Huerta or pressors, ruler of Mexico. Whatany previous ever may be charged against their it was against those predecessors, their authority, but the who opposed of the neutral, the alien, of rights religious persons and instireligion, of all creeds, immunity of tutions women, were respected and protected.

The Constitutionalists, despite their high-sounding title and professed love for right and the welfare of the people, respect and protect nothing nor anybody. Their edicts and acts are those of the degenerate and brutal outlaw, regardless of age, sex or condition. They levy tribute, plunder and destroy property, imprison, banish or murder helpless women and children, whose men, life work and institutions are not of war and hate, but of peace, love and beneficence to all humanity. Those who war upon religion and women have outlived their time by centuries. Religion of any creed arouses the enmity of all reprobates, and the rulers of Mexico only reenact what has been done by their kind in the world's history.

Such "government," by whatever title or right, is condemned by all right-thinking people, while to the average American it is without any palliation; utterly indefensible. The American is prone to sympathize with the oppressed, and often without forethought or investigation. Hence the all but unanimous approval of the Constitutionalist revolt in Mexico and rejoicing at its success. That conditions in Mexico are now worse than ever in its history is now so apparent that none can deny, except the ignorant and, we regret to say it, those who approve as advance of liberty anything which oppresses the Catholic church, priests, nuns and people, and even they are beginning to show an awakening to the horror of the deeds of those whom they lauded. That the sense of the American people, regardless of creed or political party, is opposed to such brutality and favorable to any legitimate action on the part of our Government to put an effective stop to it, is becoming plainly manifest as the true facts develop.

A move to make this known to the Government in Washington has been started by the American Federation of Catholic Societies, not only as Catholics because Catholics are the principal victims, but as American citizens, with the right to protest in behalf of justice humanity. In this all Americans of whatever creed should participate in petitioning the Government to unequivocally protest against the wanton destruction of life, liberty and property of people in Mexico in time of peace; against desecration, confiscation and plunder of religious institutions; against imprisonment, tribute, exile and murder of non-combatants; against insult, brutality and outrages of women; that a condition recalling the dark ages of barbarism cease, and that without much parley. THE WAY TO DO IT. E. M.

Lawless, editor of the Waterville (Minn.) Sentinel and member. of Knights of Columbus, was charged by the Mankato Morning Journal with taking the "fake" Knights of Columbus "oath" as published in anti-Catholic papers. Mr. Lawless had the editor and publisher of Morning Journal (A. M.

and G. E. Morrison) indicted for criminal libel. At the trial witnesses who testified for Lawless included the Rev. H.

E. Chapman, pastor of the, Congregationalist church, and the Rev. Thomas Billing, Methodist minister, was foreman of the jury, which returned a verdict of guilty and sent the Morrisons to prison for a term. At Salem, J. E.

Hosmien, editor of the Silverton Journal, was convicted of libel and sentenced to a hundred days in jail for publishing slanderous charges against the Benedictine Sisters and priests. In addition Hosmer has to meet a suit for damages for libel. It is, indeed, time Catholics sought protection of the law against the persistent calumny 80 generally circulated in this country.

1483 and their families, visiting Knights and numerous of their Catholic and nonCatholic friends. The committee that brilliant had charge of the most social function that has been given in Frankfort tin recent years Knight was composed of Grand J. J. King, Secretary 0. S.

Canty and Chairman of Entertainment Committee John W. Williams, who left nothing undone to enable their guests to have a pleasant time. A splendid musical programme was rendered and impromptu addresses made by several local and visiting Knights. At 10:30 o'clock the commodious ball room was turned ever to the younger members and dancing to the music of the celebrated Second Regiment band and orchestra was indulged in until after midnight. The affair was by far the most enjoyable given by Council No.

SEWELL. DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM. We declare our faith in the wisdom and patriotism of Woodrow Wilson and pledge him our support in discharging the grave duties and solving the complex problems imposed upon him by the high office to which he was called by the people. With singular fortitude and patience our President has stayed the impulsive spirit of war and translated for all mankind the meaning of a Republic intent on liberty and peace. In dealing with the painful problems of the stricken Republic of Mexico he has won and deserves the unstinted approval of his fellow-countrymen.

We indorse the Democratic administration of the affairs of the Federal government, an administration cleaving to the line of party progress and keenly sensitive to the settled will of the York Democratic Declaration. BOMBS IN CHURCHES. Tuesday afternoon a bomb exploded under a pew in St. Patrick's Cathedral, New York. A hole was blown in the floor, another in a window, three pews destroyed and pieces chipped from a granite pillar.

Two persons worshiping were injured. In St. Alphonsus rectory, West, Broadway, a bomb was exploded Wednesday night, shattering the windows. It was in this church Tannenbaum, an Industrial Worker, and 200 of his followers were arrested last winter for disorder and damaging property, for which Tannenbaum and others were sentenced to imprisonment. The authorities are aware of the existence and teachings of the Industrial Workers, yet there is no effort tc restrict or suppress them.

They have no more respect for law and its officials than for God, rights of property or individuals. The leniency of the authorities emboldens outlaws to acts of violence to intimidate people cr seek revenge on those who disapprove their teachings and criminality. And now the Progressives in 1llirois, Indiana, Ohio and Nebraska approve and advocate prohibition of the liquor traffic, and in his speeches in Ohio Roosevelt indorsed this proposition and urged election of the entire Progressive tickets in those States. The "platform" of the Progressives seems to lack boundaries in all directions. Temperance is one thing; prohibition another.

See the dictionary before you argue about it. Teaching "No God, no master," 1t is not surprising anarchists explode bombs in Catholic churches erected in honor of God and to teach reverence and obedience. COLUMBUS DAY IN COVINGTON Brilliance was the keynote of the Columbus parade in Covington Monday night. Knights of Columbus division was a blaze glory. Red lights burned along the line of march and hundreds of lanterns were carried by marchers.

Chief Schuler was Grand Marshal and Chief Griffith headed the fire department. There were five divisions, including Knights of Columbus, Knights of St. George, Knights of Pythias, Knights of St. John, Ancient Order of Hibernians, Moose, Red Men, Catholic Foresters, the fire department and civil officials; organizations from Newport, low, Dayton and Bellevue. At termination of parade State Senator Walker C.

Hall and Postmaster Orie Ware made short addresses, interspersed with patriotic songs and music. CHILDREN CELEBRATE. In Portland, 2,000 children of the Catholic schools observed Columbus day with a parade through the streets to the A silk American flag, a exPresident Taft, led the marchers. At the Cathedral solemn high mass was offered, the singing was by a choir of 230 children. Before the mass the choir sang "San Salvador," in honor of Columbus, and after mass the 2,000 children sang "The Star Spangled Banner." The Archbishop reviewed the parade and complimented the children.

J. McDermott, speaking on "Education," said: "True education of the head, the body and the soul, only helps to provide for our 'success, but also to increase our chance happiness and for the esteem of our neighbors. To educate is not merely to give useful knowledge nor merely to train the intellect. To educate in the proper sense we must also pacify the heart and give mastery over the will. We must not only make brighter men and women; we must make better men and women.

Our aim must be to' make our boys and girls intelligent, upright, diligent, useful, thrifty, virtuous, in order that they may become independent and contented and thus improve our citizen- James W. Dougherty, who is well known to many here in Louisville, has just moved into his new home in Hill, a Cincinnati suburb, and writes the Kentucky Irish American a copy of last week's issue, which he tailed to receive.
