DEMOCRATS Jndignant at Possible Appoint ment of Percy Holy as Itovenuc Collector. Slaly-Bcckham Crew Are Dem ocrats When It Suits Their Own End. Vslng Candidate For Sheriff as an Opening Wedge Into Local Politics. (HEADLEY FOR REPRESENTATIVES Tho "feeler" thrown out by the Haly-Beckham paper last Saturday that, In tho event of tho removal of Collector lien Marshall at Frankfort, Percy Haly would be chosen to succeed him has caused such widespread dissatisfaction among Kentucky Democrats that tho first announcement from this sourco has alsio been the last. From one end of tho State to the other -came telegrams and letters to the officials at Washington protesting against Haly's appointment, -which they know would bo the greatest calamity that could befall Ken lucky Democracy since tho election of Beckham to tho United States Senate. Tho spectacle of a politi cal prohibitionist serving as Col lector of Internal Revenue with Frankfort and Lexington under his jurisdiction is enough to dismay and appall any Democrat who cares anything for the future of his party. To begin with Haly and Beckham can not be considered loyal mem bers of the Democratic party, and they have supported the ticket only when It suited their own wishes and purposes. Four years ago Haly dipped enough into Louisville pol itics to support the Bull Moose nominee for Mayor here, and In that was assisted by all of the local Haly-Beckhamites, who just like their bosses arc Democrats when it suits their purposes. Despite this overy now and then a slquawk or tiwo comes from tho Haly-Beckham press about the men who refused to vote for Beckham In tho Sen atorial contest a few years ago and supported Bradley Instead, when Beckham left them no other alternative, playing the dog in the manger,' refusing to withdraw for some other Democrat whom all could support. According to their logic iti is treason not to support the Haly-Beckham crew when they .are given the nomination, but it is smart politics for this) same gang to knife other Democratic nominees. Ask the average Democrat today what lie would have, done in the same situation as these Senators nd Representatives in the Beckham-Bradley contest and he will approve of tho stand taken by the men who refused to vote for our prohibitionist Senator. Everyone knows that Gov. Stan ley was! knifed by so-called Demo crats of this caliber In 1915, and profiting by this last year Congress man J. C. Cantrill guarded against any treachery by having only .friends on guard, rolling up the hig hest majority for a Democratic President in years. It Is hardly necessary to add that Beckham and Haly had no part in Cantrlll's or ganization, as ho does not like a hair in their heads! and has defeated them In every primary contest. Beckham's plan to have Haly as Collector is the -first blow. aimed at Ollle James and Cantrill, as It is planned to oppose Cantrill, the logi cal candidate for Governor, with McChesnoy, the prohibitionist, and attack Ollle James with our own Col. Patrick Callahan, a newly born prohibitionist with United States Senatorial aspirations. Haly and Beckham are not madly in love with Callahan either as a politician or brother prohibitionist, but they will .give him plenty of calcium light and advertising as long as he sup plies the campaign barrel. Since tho repeated warnings In theso columns of the danger of tho Haly-Beckham Influence creeping into local politics through tho Sheriff's race there has been & wide murmur of dissent and hun dreds of Democrats have said that although they have nothing per sonally againslt Mr. McNally, tho Haly-Beckham candidate, his nom ination would weaken tho ticket In November and no man or -set of men has the right to jeopardize the positions ot policemen, firemen or ther city employes simply to give tho Haly-Beckham crowd a foot hold in tho Sheriff's office and con trol ot tho election machinery. Mr. McNally's candidacy has aroused no enthusiasm, being practically un known to nine-tenths of the voters, arid his reception at tho ward and club gatherings! should serve as a forewarning to tho mon who aro trying to foist him on the ticket by methods of torce and coercion. Senator Sam Robertson is by long odds the popular choice with tho Democratic voters, and when you Attempt to quell popular sentimont ia a political party then the suc cess of that party in the future is in grave doubt, None aro so blind pg those who will not see. It was predicted In these col umns! two weeks ago that seeing the drift in the County Judge'B nice the present Judge, Sam Greene, would soon send out the S. O. S, Mil to his friend and -adviser. Gen. W. B, Haldeoian, editor of the Tlinw, and this came true Wednes day when Judge Greene's request tor Om, Haldeinan to act as Chair- of hi eampaign eowwltiee wwiPaul' ehureh, Lexington, t Jaiae 24. published and also the response, in which the Times editor agreed to do so. There are many 'Democrats who do not envy the General his job, as it will take almost a super human effort to make Judge Greene an active contender In tho race, Squire Wheeler and Loralne Mix having pretty near corraled tho en tiro Democratic vote between them selves. One of the Brumleve leaders Is anthnrltv for the statement that William M. Bohon will bo brought out as a candidate for tho Demo cratic nomination for State Sen ator against Senator Charles! H. Knight In tho Thirty-sixth district, and it is rumored that Ids an nouncement will bo made in the next few days. There is no Demo crat in the city who stands higher than Senator Knight with tho men of all classes and his record in tho Senate has been highly commended by men of all parties, the business man and working man alike, and in their opinion he deserves an in dorsement, and furthermore that it would bo but fitting that he should bo given the nomination without opposition In the Democratic party. As a nominee he has proven a splendid asiset to the ticket In the general election and Louisville and Jefferson county Democrats always found him a willing tbrvant at Frankfort. Candidates for tho nominations are getting right busy these days and there are big gatherings of candidates at every club meeting. Some of those who aro campaign ing this way aro Senator McNutt, Adolph Schmltt, Dr. H. E. Mech- ling, Senator Sam Robertson, Will iam T. McNally, Fred Heffernan, Joo Nevin and others. The latest rumor emanating from the Brum leve ranks Is that the first of the month a full ticket will be an nounced, one of the leaders telling' tho writer that candidates against Pred Ray. Allen Smith, Adolph Schmltt. Clay Hall and Charlie Fos ter had already been selected, all to be announced together, uumor has it that Frank Schuster, of tho County Clerk's office, and Scott Miller are preparing to run as an entry In the County Assessor's race, but it appears that Allen Smith has gotten too" big a lead to bo even in danger in this race. James D. Headley, a well known young at torney and Democrat, has an nounced for Representative In tho Sixth and Seventh wardst SUCCUMBS TO APOPLEXY. Grief spread over tho city when announcement was made of tho death Sunday afternoon of Mrs. Annie Jennins Wathen, widow of M. A. Wathen. at one time Presi dent of tho Old Grand Dad Dis tilling Company, 'at1icr-homc,-123 G Garvin Place. Mrs. Wathen was stricken the preceding Monday morning by apoplexy.

The National Conference of Cath olic Charities isl eager to collect records concerning activities of all Catholic relief organizations during the present national emergency, so cieties and heads of institutions which engage in any form of social work are expected to do their tun share In anticipating problems of civil and military relief and to co operate as circumstances may re quire with related efforts) In this field. It is Important for our his tory to assemble records which will show the patriotic response of Cath olic organizations to this call of our country. Copies of resolutions adopted, and accounts of meetings, addressed and of all arrangements mado separately or in conjunction with other civic bodies should be gathered, classified and presorved for the use of tho historian. Offi cers of orcanizatlons and others in terested in social work are urgently asked to sond information to the National Conference of Catholic Charities, Catholic University of America, Washington, D, C, In or der that this may ho done. Neglect of this thoughtful service will rob tho church of a golden opportunity to show tf the world tho spirit of her benevolence in its Incomparable splendor. ORDAINED FOR ICENTUCKY.

He will nine hie 'first solemn mase in St. IRELAND Convention lias Been Called and Slay Solve Homo Kule Problora. Premier Lloyd George An nounces the Intention of thoGovcrnmcnt. .John Itcdniond and the Nation alists Favor Move With Hope. ALL CLASSES IN THE ACTION Fori the first time in modern .history the destinies of Ireland are to bo placed in tho hands of the Irishmen alone. British Prlmo Minister Lloyd George announced to tho Houso of Commons on Mon day that the Government will call a convention of Irishmen to frame a constitution for Ireland, and If Irishmen are able to agree upon any scheme for the administration of their country will attempt to enact it into legislation without delay. All sections, parties, creeds and factions, with clorgymen and laymen as well as politicians and even the Irish Sinn Fein Society, will be Invited to get together. Both housles of Parliament dis cussed Ireland with hardly a ripple of the old animosities and feuds disturbing their harmony. "Tho patient must administer to him self," said Lloyd George, and a noteworthy feature of the discus sion was an agreement that poli ticians must play a secondary part to the men from other walks! of life. The Premier specified tho Nationalist factions, of which John Redmond and William O'Brien aro the leaders, the Ulster Unionists, the Southern Unipnlsts and the Sinn Feiners as the political bodies which will be represented In tho convention, but said the Govern ment considered It most important that representatives! of local govern Ing bodies', the churches, trade unions and commercial and educa tional interests should participate. Mr. Redmond agreed in this policy and the veteran home ruler even offered to obliterate himself In tho Intorests of harmony. But tho House refueol loudly to accept his offer. Even Lord Lansdowne, who has been charged by slome with the wreckage- of Lloyd George's previous work of reconciliation, told the Lords that the road to home rule had been traveled too far for turning back, and referring to tho Importance of facilitating the task of "those who are our friends in America." Former Premier Asquith, com mended the Government's proposals heartily. "If the convention fails, then Heaven help us," he said. They would have to admit that, though problems! similar in charac ter and not les difficult had been settled elsewhere in the world, "we are so wanting In resources of statesmanship that we can not set tlo hero at our own doors what is most, vital both to our interests and to our honor." John Redmond said that if thero were any feeling that he had slaid things which had left bitter mem ories ho would be willing to step down In order to promote the har mony of tho proceedings of the convention. This was recolved with cries of "no" from all parts of tho houso. Redmond said the conven tion not only should be free, but should be ropresntatlvo of all classes and sections. County coun cils, corporations, trades unions, the various churches, the teaching profession, Irish Peers and tho dif ferent political parties) should bo represented. Ho was willing to agree to a limited representation Of the Irish party, an equally largo representation of tho Ulster party and a generous representation of Sinn Feiners. He approved the oroDosal to have a small nominated element, and also the suggestion that the Chairman should be nom inated by the Crown. Ho hoped tho Chairman would bo a man of distinguished Judgment, proved experience and undoubted impar tiality. Earl'Curzon made a statement in the House of Lords similar to tho Premier's in the Commons. He said, the subject was one which called for restraint, moderation and forbearance. Earl Curzon said it was tho war which led the Govern ment to try to solve tho difficulty. In the war Ireland had been a source of weakness ana not oi strength. Never a month or evon a week passted that the specter of Ireland did not cross tno Govern ment's path. A settlement ot this question would mako it easier for America to throw her full weight into the struggle. Speaking In a serious tone, he continued: "It will bo a national misfortune If any ono of the Irish parties stands aloof, and grave" responsibility will rest on those leaderB who should elect to abstain." William O'Brien, leader of tno Independent Nationalists, said no Irishman would discuss the pro posal of tho Government without grave and anxious consideration. A homo rule settlement by the consent of all parties and by his country men of all persuaslpns had been tho great object of his political life. The Government's plan might well make the ears of every Irishman who had fought with him tingle with satisfaction, because it showed the Government had begun to find out that the only way of dealing 'with the Irhfc difffeultj wa Jby con- ference, conciliation and consent. O'Brien warned tho Government there would be grave difficulty to overcome In the election or selec tion of the members of the conven tion. The Dublin Irish Times, com menting on the proposed conven tion, says it is folly to think the recent course of Irish politics has fitted Individual Irishmen for the supremely difficult task of leader ship. The Irish Unionists do not pretend to be hopeful, It says, al though they refuse to take the re sponsibility for dosing thelr ears to tho Government's appeal.' Tho Freeman's Journal says the prospects for the convention have been Improved by the discussions in Parliament. Premier Lloyd George's! promise to accept the decision of tho convention in regard to both the character and scope of tho Irish constitution gives even greater importance to the convention, the newspaper says, arid will increaso enormously the force of the appeal to all genuine Nationalists. The Irish Independent says it is Idle to pretend that anything slhort of full colonial home rule will bo regarded by Irishmen as a final set tlement, and a final settlement Is what the Government pretends to have In view.

H., spent Tuesday and Wednesday in Louis ville, where she received a joint Kentucky and Hibernian welcome that gave her Inspiration. Mrs. Mc Whortbr is well known in this country and Ireland and Is a woman of great personal popularity. A woman of Intelligence and practical experience, she has ever taken a lively Interest In the affairs) of tho Ladies' Auxiliary and its 75,000 members, and is indeed well quali fied to dischargo overy duty of her responsible office. By reason of her genial disposition, fair mlnded ness and level headedness she has1 won tho respect and entire good will of all with whom she has come in. contact. Sho has the welfare and best interests of the Irish peo ple at heart and Is thoroughly capable of taking care of any In terests committed to her. ' Mrs). McWhorter while iiere was In charge of Miss Mary Corcoran, Miss Fannie Kennedy, Mias Bertha King, Miss Maggie Hourlgan and former and present officers of tho local Ladles' Auxiliary. Tuesday night she addressed the ladles at their meeting In tho HIbornlan Home, which was) tastefully decor ated for the occasion, tho national colors predominating. After an eloquent address there was a bounteous luncheon, during which all were introduced personally to the honored guest. Wednesday vis its were mado to the Academy of the Sisters of Mercy and Holy Ros ary Academy, where Mrs. McWhor ter spoke on the sltudy of Irish his tory, anl also the Visitation Home for working girls, where a dinner was set In her honor. Wednesday night a splendid audi ence assembled In St. Patrick's Hall to hear Mrs. McWhorter and were well repaid.' Upon her en trance into the hall the audience arose and applauded. Upon the stage were Rev. James P. Cronln, County Chaplain; Rev. T. L. Crow ley, Division Chaplain; State Presi dent William Connelly, Miss Mary Corcoran, Miss Fannie Kennedy, Mrs. Dan Dougherty ana .miss Bertha King. Father Croulu ex pressed great pleasure In welcom ing to St. Patrick's the Hibernians and their guest, following which vocal solos were rendered by Mlsslas Gorolng and Corlnne Bates and selections on tho violin by Misses Marie and Estello Dougherty and Master James Curran, who were given enthusiastic encores. Rounds of applause greeted Father Crowley, of St. Louis! Bertrand's, who was happy because he was present and had followed with interest the workings of the ordor. Ho con cluded with a glowing tribute to Mrs. McWhorter and the Ladles' Auxiliary, the largest organization of women of one faith in tho coun try. State President William Con nelly said the ocaslon was one that anidnm mmos to the Hibernians of Louisville and he felt confident tho visit of the National President ivnnlrt he fruitful of good, as tho Louisville auxiliary stood second to none in tho country. Miss Mary Corcoran was happy and graceful in her Introduction of Mrs. McWhorter, who held the audience spellbound for over an hour, her frequont witticisms evok ing prolonged laughter. Tho speaker dwelt principally upon tho mission of the Ancient Order of Hibernians and their unswerving loyalty every where to the prlesjt and faith. Their great work was the preservation of tho two grand ideals love of faith and race. Her picture of tho Irish homo made an Inmression that will be lasting, tho reference to "her self," "himself" and tho children and tho respect for parents and religion affecting every hearer. She made a forceful appeal to tho mothers, upon whom rests the coun try's welfare, to follow the oxamplo set in the old land, whoro the little homo was the" sflirlne of all that was holy. Mrs. McWhorter made one con vincing statement which appealed to her hearers in speaking of the close alliance between Holy Mother Church and tho Irish peopio ever since their conversion by St. Pat rick. She said "Show mo tho IrisOi man or Irish woman that aro not proud of their Irish ancestry and identified with keeping alive .the Irish spirit and I will show you one that Is lukewarm in his or her Catholic faith. The clas3 ashamed of their Irish blood will be found ashamed of their Catholic taiin ana la a hotel or public place will eat moat on Friday or fast day rather than acknowledge their Tellglon among etrangors or ariEltocratlc friends." , RnnaiHne of Ensrland. Mrs. Mc Whorter eajd that, although allied with that country now, no Irishman or Irish-American was ju hm1- bound to stop speaking of the wrongs done Ireland, by this moat cruel ot all -satfoos". The speker said that although Bolgium, Sorvla and othor small countries) deserved sympathy, their suffering had been but a drop In the bucket compared to tho persecution of Ireland, which had lasted for several hundred years; hor peopio scattered to tho four corners of the earth, driven from home through oppression, her population today 5,000,000 less than .fifty years ago, and many of our older folks illiterate because of England forbidding schools! for tho Irish youths. Mrs. McWhorter com pared our alliance today with the traveler who is compelled to take tho same road with a thief or vaga bond that the traveler Is not com pelled to thank his road-mate for the undesired company at the end of the Journey, nor are we com pelled to thank England for tho ill desired alliance at the end of tho war. . In discussing tho home rule question of today Mrs. McWhorter said not much can bo expected of tho Irish convention, which Lloyd George knew in advance would not accomplish any end as long as that scoundrel and traitor. Sir Edward Carson, Ulster's leader and Eng land's pet, was allowed to block real home rule plans and dismember Ireland. The real Irishman and lover of home rule today was in the position of tho real mother before Solomon, who did not want tho child sacrificed for so-called justice, nor does the Irishman or citizen of Irish blood want to see the little green Isle torn asunder to suit the fancy of Carson and his traitorous associates. Tho speaker said that England was on trial, fac ing world-wide opinion today, and that we in this country, where thero aro 23,000,000 people of Irish blood, should Influence our American statesbnen to demand that Justice and liberty bo given Ire land. She also made an eloquent appeal fo rthe study of Irish his tory and urged her hearers who could to become members of the grand old order that took the world's prize at the Paris Exposi tion. When Mrs. McWhorter had con cluded Miss Bertha King camo for ward and in a short address pre sented her a beautiful basket ot Klllaraey roses. Upon all sides the hopo is expressed that Mrs. Mc Whorter may be Induced to corao to Louisville for St. Patrick's day. CATHOLIC KNIGHTS.

Michael Quinn, of iNew York, Supreme Trustee of tho Catholic Knights of America, ar rived in Louisville from St. Louis, and wero met by n reception com mittee composed of Gen. Michael Reichert, Eugene -McCarthy, Joseph P. McGinn and Joseph A. Fleck, of the Social Club. After attending mass the Tyler Hotel Was made headquarters and in the afternoon Dr. Gaudin and Capt. Quinn ad dressed the Social Club at the Knights of Columbus Hall, giving much encouragement to tho move ment for a ladies' branch. Presi dent Gaudin emphasized the fact that the Social Club has brought tho Catholic Knights of America info further prominence in Louis ville. Also that ho heartily en dorsed the club and would do any thing in his power to assist Its growth. Capt. Quinn said the Social Club was one of tho desires of his heart. He was hopeful that It would rapidly increaso in member ship and keep up the good woik it was accomplishing. In tho evening representatives of the Central Com mittee and the Social- Club gavo an informal dinner in honor of the visitors. A delightful audience greeted Dr. Gaudin at St. Martin's Hall, where ho lectured Sunday night. The lecture was preceded by three mu sical numbers, the first an artis tically rendered piano selection by Miss Olivia Wempe, who was ac companist for tho vocal solo by Harry Clark, who wa3 compelled to respond to the hearty encore, tho final numbor being a piano selection b Miss Matilda Everln. President Fleck Introduced William Cushlng, who delivered tho address of wel come and presented Dr. Gaudtn. To describe his lecture would be difficult, as to the enthusiastic audi ence alone was it fully convoyed, and elicited such rapt attention that not one left the hall during its delivery. Tho way Dr. Gaudin ex plained tho pictures thrown on tho screen and tho points of Interest about Jerusalem and the Holy Land, tho Catacombs, the arena in which tho blood of tho first Christian martyrs was shed, tho manner In which tho Romans persecuted the Christians by burning and feeding them to wild animals, tho magnifi cence of tho churches In and about Rome and the great wall of Jeru salem, brought such reality to the minds of his hearers that ono could not but feel that the Catholic church has Indeed fulfilled the say ing that "Tho church will bo per secuted until tho end of time." Tho history of tho life of Christ on earth was most instructive and very interesting. Monday as guests of tho Social Club tho visitors wore show tho many points of interest about the city and witnessed the races at Churchill Downs. CEDAR GROVE.

WARNING A Voice of Patriotism Prom the Island of the Living ' Dead. Brother Dnlton Pleads For Study of Constitution and -Against Division. In War Whole Strength of Our Whole Country Will He Needed. PATRIOTISM MUST BE NATIONAL In a recent number of the Para dise of the Pacific, a monthly pub lished in Honolulu, Hawaii, Brother Joseph Dutton, the devoted suc cessor of the noble Damlon on Molokal, the Island of lepers), gives voice to some reflections on pa triotism well worth our considera tion. Thero In tho midst of the beauties of the semi-tropical Island, close to nature In her most gen erous moods, but still closer to the sobering influences! of disease and death and selfless sacrifice, the mind is freo from the influences of passion and sees things clearly and in correct perspective. And surely now if ever thero is need of clear, dispassionate thought on the much discussed theme of patriot ism. For a falsely understod patriot ism is a serious menace, to th unity and strength of our country. As In our midst, Brother Dutton, who served as officer in the civil war, siays: "Upon Molokal't little peninsula, sticking out from the base of our noble mountain head lands, we hear strange hints ot some naturalized citizens. Disloy alty Is mentioned. This is very hard to believe. In our civil war nearly every nation had repre sentatives. Their people by birth become loyal American citlzdns and gbod sbldiers as a rule. My own regiment every regiment I knew had some. A number of them -were among our highest and best offi cers. To me it is unthinkable that an Intelligent man, honest and Just, as we have known these naturalized citizens to be, who takes a solemn oath to support the constitution or the United States, and absolutely and entirely renounco and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any forelgn prince, potentate, state or stoveioignt of which he was be fore a citizen or subject, and to suport and defend tho constitution and laws of the United States against nil enemies.' foreign and' domestic, and bear true faith and allegiance to the same, that any such man, understanding this sol emn oath, could take a stand against the United States in any manner or form toy will or deed." Brother Dutton sounds! a- timely warning against anything like sec tional or partisan patriotism, for as he says: "True patriotism must be national. It springs from the home, from the family. The nation must bo a large family so far as concerns patriotism, and It muslt be united. It can not recognize any such situation as ono section against another, or anything leading thore to. The times aro dangerous; If drawn into the war the entire strength of our whole country will he Tipoded." Not only must our patriotism oe charitable, recognizing the duty of thinking well and harboring no suspicion or Ill-will against any one .-ri. 0 -..- .UUnnnliln' Tint. IHllV ciasu ui uui wnouo...j.i .-.-- - -must it bo a national patriotism, united and strong, but above all It must also be an intelligent and rational patriotism. For thero are signs which make it evident, that thero is danger that while seeking to extend the charter of liberty to other nations we bo unmindful of what liberty means to ourselves. To ward against tho danger Of not un derstanding our own liberty we muslt ifollow tho excellent advice of tho Molokal missionary, who tells us that: "One of the most Im portant Items of preparedness would k -tnv nil Aitlzons to study and re- study tho Federal constitution. This especially for the young men just now coming upon mo yuu..v affairs. We aro coming into experi ences', very likely, that will depend largely upon tnis greai iusuuiucuv, whether in its original sense and full import or under attempts to Ignore some of Its features. I be lieve wo should all enter a constitu tional kindergarten and make ready for anything that could endangor the stability of our Government un der Its Federal constitution." Theso last words! of Brother Dutton are well desorvlng of care ful thought and consideration. The price of true liberty Is, as has heen said so often, eternal vigilance.
