RECENT DEATHS. aeeraes an Cssj swinHM te tat KWfTUCKY II AMERICAN, J-ZI West 8mi St. TOAgj)eoK LOUISVILLE, KY SATURDAY, JANUARY 2, 1915 WItONO TEST. Promoters of the immigration bill 'want action at the present session of -Congress if possible. Opposition to this bill Is based chiefly on the obnoxious and Illogical provision which Imposes a literacy test on all aliens coming to the United States. The theory on which this is based, obviously fallacious as it is, is that because a person is unable to read and write he is not capable of be coming a desirable citizen. Other merits of qualifications might render him a valuable addition to our cosmopolitan population, but such things are overlooked. No account Is taken of his moral virtues, of his capacity for earning a livelihood, of his Industrious bent, or whatever other attributes he may, possess to make him a worthy and useful member of society. If because of circumstances for which he was not accountable he has been unable to avail himself of the advantages of even a meagre education, he Is to be placed under the ban. On the other hand, aliens who may bo criminally Inclined, anarch lata who are a menace to all govern ments, scamps and disturbers of all kinds who can meet this test, are to find an open door and bo permitted to enter, unless perchance the Government officials should dis cover something that would warrant holding them up. This would be the casa In but a small percentage of Instances, says the Catholic Advance. The injustice and ab surdity of the proposed bill are apparent. 'If the purpose Is to re-. strict Immigration some otner ana more sensible plan should be de vised to accomplish that end. Illegal act and bo liable to arrest and imprisonment. Colorado has also adopted prohibition, but Its amendment contains the proviso that permission may be granted for tho sale or gifts of wine for sacra mental and medicinal purposes. And this proviso requires a special act of the Legislature to give it force. Bishop Granjon will base his suit on the contention that Arizona's new law Interferes with the right of religious worship guaranteed by the constitution of the United States. It is to be hoped that the case will decide once for all, and in a most conclusive manner, this question that has arisen so often wherever the Prohibitionists have had their way. Whatever one s opinion may be on regulating or suppressing the sale of liquors, he can not but fail to see the absurdity In extending prohibition to such a ridiculous length. There is, says the Irish Standard, more than a suspicion that malicious bigotry lurks In the hearts of those who would provent by law the Catholic church from per forming the supreme act of worship, which Is the chief reason for her existence.

Brooklyn priests have this fall been quite successful in getting young men out of unwholesome en vironments, and their work is a most powerful argument for the es- bllshment of Catholic young mena clubs. Many of our Catholic young men, after leaving the ennobling in fluence of the parochial school, radually drift away from their re- iglon, from every uplifting ifactor, nd eventually are lost to tho church. Why? The answer Is found only too clearly In the condition of life young men must face In our large cities. Taken away so abruptly (rom the protecting folds of Cathollo teaching and advice, and limiting their religious activities to one mass a week on Sunday, the Catholic boy frequently succumbs to the gradual and seductive call of the pool room, dangerous company, risque plays and that sensuous brand of literature with which the papers and magazines of today areifilled. Now what Is the remedy? Too many cities and townB offer no lnduceemnts to the young man. That should be remedied, for there Is little strength In the argu- J meut offered to a young man to keep off the street corners and away from tho pool parlors unless some sub stitute is offered. Tho one available substitute offered in many places is the Y. M. C. A. and a young man can scarcely be blamed .for affiliating himself with that organization when he finds himself convinced that he should keep off the streets and out of pool rooms, but with no place else to go. Hence It is readily seen that Catholic young men's clubs would a potent factor for practical con- ructlve work along the lines of ffering a substitute for the pool m, etc. Louisville Iibb several y active Catholic clubs of this notably Mack In and Trinity noils and the Columbia Athletic b; and these havo accomplished e really fruitful work. Too eh credit can not be given them, d parents should see that their become members, as upon them oh will depend in the future. Entering upon the new year, It Is appropriate to call attention to the advertisements In this paper. The names of our advertisers should be familiar to every reader. They rep resent firms that are well-wlshern and benefactors. It is their con tinued patronage that enables us to carry on the mission of tho Catholic press. The point is this the adver tisers are our friends. They deserve loyal patronage. They help to pay the bills each month. They show their friendship, by using space, whether one or fifty squares each week. We ask our subscribers to noto the names of advertisers and to mention this paper when writing to them or when making u. purchase. We ask that ithey be given prefer ence in trading. A response to this request will be helpful to the Ken tucky Irish American and will be ap preciated by Its advertisers. Joseph P.
