Tho Kentucky Irish American mourns tho death of Sister Aurea, who for years had been Its true friend. May her heavenly reward bo commensurate with the holy and. exemplary life she led hero on earth. CATHOLIC POSITION. Among the resolutions adopted by the Catholic Educational Associa tion at Its convention In Baltimore last week was one declaring that the American Catholic school sys tem stands for thorough-going and complete Americanism with undi vided allegiance to our country Xrom all, whatever sympathies they may legitimately entertain for the land of their ancestors. This Is the spirit of our Catholic people as well as of our schools, and any In dividual deviation from it Is an In jury to Church and State. GENEROUS AMERICA. We are so often called, says the .Catholic Advance, a nation of money grabbers, that it might not be un profitable to take a look at the other side of tho picture. After two years we are able to declare that Americans havo done far more than alj other neutrals of the world combined In deeds of hu manity and philanthropy for the victims of the European war. We have been generous and even prodi gal in extending aid to the wretched sufferers among the civil population In those areas that have been de vastated. On the battlefield and In military hospitals the American Red Cross and other organizations sup ported by private contributions have been conspicuous In the work of relief to the wounded. Money has been poured like water Into the treasuries of these noble enter prises. American men and women 'have devote! themselves in large numbers as nurses and surgeons and In other useful capacities untiringly and unselfishly. ' Never In the world's history can be found anything to compare with the record the American people have been making In this respect since the war began. Not only have they given up millions freely and un grudgingly, but In their devotion to their self-imposed tasks many have sacrificed their lives. All this has been done without expectation or hope of reward, out pt sympathy for suffering human kind and for the satisfaction that accrues from worthy work well performed. The good work still goes on. As a contemporary- points out, there are at the preesnt time fourteen public funds to which the people of tho United States are contributing with unbounded generosity, besides the mall bags of private money orders that go from this side of the water to relatives abroad. It Is estimated that the money given to these public funds exceeds twenty-five millions. The Red Cross on battlefields and In hospitals Is supported for the most part by American money. The best of it Is the money Is being spent judiciously and honestly, so that American contributors may feel that their donations, reach the suf ferers, which could not always be said when, In times past, the money of our own people has been freely given to help afflicted American cities. defense and that appeal he made in an address whose energy and pathos must elicit the sympathy and the admiration of every good and right thinking man in the world. The result of that appeal to the present judgment of mankind and to the future Is foregone. Tho prisoner at the bar is acquitted and goes forth to meet tho applause of the wise and virtuous in all countries and the deathless honor and affec tion of the Irish people till the last generation shall have been born on the soil of Erin. But there is another anglo of vision. The student of contem porary history will ask himself what effect the trial and condem nation and eloquent defense of Sir Roger Casement must havo upon England, and what should be the comportment of liberty-loving Eng lishmen toward this martyr of lib erty, who risked all that England might do justice to tho people of Ireland. Thus the New York American ex presses Itself, and likewise many other-papers not under British Influence. Fifty-one divorces were granted In tho Jefferson Circuit Court last week. This does not reflect any credit upon Louisville society. Tho divorce evil grows here and the wrecked homes aro found every where. When will tho State legis late for bettor conditions and abate this terrible evil? WAR AND LAW. COMING EVENTS. July 10 Picnic of St. Louis Bertrand's church at Fern Grove.

In the eye of tho law, by the verdict of the jury and the sentence of the court, he Is a traitor to tho realm, an enemy of the King and a foresworn villain who must die tho death of shame on the abhorrent gallows. In the supremo court of the future that verdict will be reversed and that sentence set aside. At the Judg ment bar of history, this felon, now .condemned to die for a most high crime, will bo hailed as a hero and a martyr. Ho will take his hon ored place with Emmet and with John Brown 'and the others of the innumerable company of Just men who, la all ages and In many lands, have gone through paths or hatred, worn and death to the bright goal ot Immortal renown and the In creasing applause of mankind. As It was with Emmet, so was It with Casement. His condemnation waa assured before he was ar raigned, and all that was left te him was to Jake advantage of the forme of the law and the estab lished procedure of the courts of England to make his defense at the bar of wbllc ofnioa and his appeal to the verdict of the ages. That God has called Into heavenly rest Sister Aurea O'Brien, Mother Su perior nf St Joseph's Infirmary, who had spent her life In religion and for forty-six years had been the loyal and devoted friend of tho sick and injured.

Sister Aurea had a wide acquaintance among tho leading members of the American medical profession as well as the clergy and the prominent men and women of the city and State, many of whom she had nursed to health. She was noted for her kindly disposition and keen humor. Sister Aurea possessed such. iiuimiiiy inni strangers coming to the hospital never suspected she was the Superior. She was so beloved by the Sisters under her rule that they Insisted from year to year that the authorities of the order return her as head of the St. Joseph com munity. When her death was an nounced there was not a dry eye among all the Sisters at the hos pital, who mourn tfor their Superior as a mother. One of them said: "Only sho and God know tho ex tent of her charity, her good works. her piety and loyalty to her relig ious vows renouncing everything tor tne service of her Master."
