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?

MUST NOT KILL.
Sir Roger Casement has been
convicted. 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. By her death the
Sisters ot Charity, "the city and
State, suffer a distinct loss. Sister
Aurea was born in County Cork,
Ireland, seventy years ago, coming
to this country In her twentieth
year. For a time she lived at
Frankfort. Deciding to devote her
life to the religious state she en
tered tho novitiate of the Sisters of
Charity at the motherhouse, near
Bardstown, when twenty-one years
old. She was professed forty-seven
years agq, and the following year
sent as a nurse to the old St. Jo
seph's Infirmary, her only mission.
Sixteen years later sho was made
Mother Superior of the hospital.
Her administration was such that
St.. Joseph's was soon recognized by
the medical profession one of the
finest hospitals In tho South. 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." Be
sides receiving and caring for thou
sands of the poor sick and injured
it is known that Sister Aurea
caused hundreds of poor men,
women and children to bo cared for
at the hospital during the rigors
of every winter. She is survived
by a sister, Mrs. Kate Ryan, of this
city, and two brothers, Michael and
Thomas O'Brien, of Medford, Mass.
The remains were taken to Naz
