From All Sections Rap Straddling

Press.

Senators.
Some Spirited Democratic Contests
With Best of 'Harmony
Prevailing.
MORROW CAN'T LOSE WARLEY.
Democrats from all parts of the
State report that tho prospects for
success In November are most flat
tering, tho "weakness of Morrow aa
head of tho Republican ticket be
ing apparent to everyone, and it is
now whispered in the O. O. P. that
Hert and Searcy certainly pulled a
"boner" when they awarded Morrow
tho Gubernatorial nomination with
out a contest. Either Gov. Black,
Judge Carroll or Col. Noel can de
feat Morrow, the Governor being tho
strongest of the three Judging from
tho attitudo of the Republicans -who
want Carroll for tho nominee. So
fearful havo the Republican machine
become of Gov. Black that is was
reported at a meeting Tuesday night
in the Tyler Hotel that the "boob
Keystone" police are tearing Gov.
Black's cards down in this city, that
Is those of tho comedy cops who
can read and tell the difference be
tween the cards posted in public
places.
The other State races are shaping
up so as to give one a line on the
winner, and many are busy picking
the winning slate. In the Lieuten
ant Governor's race W. H. Shanks,
of Stanford, although getting a lato
start, has now assumed a strong
lead and should win easily. In the
Auditor's race Col. J. P. W. Brouse,
of Somerset, has been making an
energetic canvass and his friends
predict that tho Bosworth followers
will bo given tho surprise in their
life. Strange to say, R. C. Muslck,
of Jackson, is developing remarkable
strength in, the cities for Attorney
General and his managers predict
him a winner. 'In tho contest for
Clerk of tho Court of Appeals W. G.
Baxter, of this city. Is making the
race with John A. Goodman, of
Todd county, and plans to secure a
big vote here from the local Demo
cratic organization. Alvin Steger,
of Owen county, the other candidate,
has been making a State-wide can
vass, and ciaims that he will run a
better race than four years ago
when he lost the nomination on a
"fluke." Prof. R. S. Eubank is mak
ing a runaway race for Superinten
dent of Public Instruction, and the
same applies to John W. Newman
for Commissioner of Agriculture.
Mat. S. Cohen made every post a
winning one, as the turf sheet says,
in his race for Secretary of State
and needs only wait for the certifi
cate of election.
In tho Republican ranks thero is
one Important feature but It Is a
forbidden subject with the G. O. P.
press and leaders and that Is tho
candidacy of the colored Republic
ans. Tho candidacy of Warley, the
colored man for Legislature, is not
confined to Louisville but the colpr
ed voters of Kentucky have made it
a State issue and the only way for
Warley to lose Is to be robbed by
tho Republican machine. But the
cure for this lies In the Warley
campaign slogan; which is now in
print: "Mr. Morrow Is sure of de
feat if Warley Is cheated at the
polls."
The Shelby Record has caught on
to tho curves of' the Bingham press.
Judging from tho following in its
last issue: "The Courier-Journal
and Times, while they have not
said who they are for Governor,
have endeavored in every way to
embarrass Gov. Black, and it is a
ten to ono shot hey are either for
Carroll or Morrow. They claim to
be Democratic organs, yet they take
part for candidates in tho primary,
and In doing so do not hesitate to
mako Republican capital for tho
nominees of that party between
August and November. Judge Car
roll Is already handicapped by tho
support of these Louisville dallies
that claim to do uemocraiic.
County Attorney C. E. Evans, of
Simpson County, in an address to a
gathering of Democrats at tho Tyler
Hotel Tuesday) evening, also threw
a broadside at the Courier-Journal
and Times, calling attention to their
present ' "straddling" performance
and their continued attempts to stir
up strife in tho Democratic party.
Mr. Evans said that Democrats
throughout the. State are predicting
that the Bingham press will support
Morrow and the Republican party.
The opinion of tho Shelby Record
is now becoming wide-spread and
Democrats throughout Kentucky
havo become wlso to tho fact that
thero Is method in the madnes3 of
tho Bingham press. The attacks on
Gov. Black, Senator Stanley, Demo
cratic appointees, Democratic organ
izations, etc., are delivered In a
"holier than thou" spirit, but they
unn Hi olr nnrwiftd-i ammunition for
Mr. Hert and tho Republican party.
Many Democrats havo solved the
purpose of tho Hert-Blngham combi
nation in this way: The Courier
' Journal and Times will torpedo the
Democratic party from all angles,
and if wrecked Mr. Bingham and
his.frienda will assume control. Mr,
Bingham will obtain the nomination
for United ?tate Senator: Ws friend,
.Bom Hert. of the Republican party,
will .have the G. O. P. elephant lie
down that year allowing Mr. Bing-
ham to go to the Sonate. Tho
following Senatorial election Mr.
Hert will secure tho Republican
nomination for the Senate, Air, Bing
ham will have the Democratic
donkey play dead and, presto! Mr.
Hert will Join his friend as the other
Senator from Kentucky. Sounds
.plausible and -will be a pretty plan
that Is, If it works.
INTO ETERNAL REST.
Though not unexpected, tho Rev.
Gustavo A. Vantroostenberghe, chap
lain of tho Good Shophord Convent
at Eighth and Madison streets, died
Tuesday morning of kidney and
stomach trouble at Sts. Mary and
Elizabeth Hospital, where ho had
been ill for ten days. Father Van
was a priest widely known through
out Kentucky, where his big heart
edness and genial disposition won
tho friendship of people or all
classes and religious beliefs. The
history of his life is very interesting.
Father Vantroostenberghe was- born
In Bruges, Belgium, February 2,
1849. He attended the Louvain
College, finishing his theological
studies at old St. Thomas Seminary
in this diocese. When he arrived in
America for tho American missions

was for many years pastor of St
Raphael's church in Daviess county,
then went to St. Charles In Marlon
county. Because of poor health he
accepted the chaplainship of St.
Joseph's Hospital In Lexington, re -
maming mere ior some ume. txa-
turning to this diocese, ho became
chaplain at tho Little Sisters of tho
Poor, then pastor at Hodgenville.
Some years later Father Vantroos
tenburgho was called to Loulsvlllo
to act as chaplain of the Good
Shepherds, on Eighth street, whore
he remained until death. , He ob-
served on last May 19 the forty -
fourth anniversary of his ordination.

Tho word 'secession,' as
applied to our movement for In

tho term, for there 'has been no

"Our only demand of England is
that her forces of occupation be re
moved in order that the Government
set up by the Irish, of which I have
the ihonor to bo tho Chief Executive,
may function as thoy desire it to

Government and of tho republic by
the American nation as tho true
Government of Ireland will assist us
materially In our efforts to carry
out the will of the Irish, I feol
certain that the American Govern
ment will lespond to tho wishes of
the American citizens, and I believe
that this demonstration is a clear
Indication of the wished of the

residents of this' great city of
Chicago."
Referring to tho hissing of the
name of President Wilson at De
Valera's New York meeting the
speaker said: .
"What I think is this: I would
be humiliated deeply if my presence
in your country and my advocacy of
the Just and reasonable claims of
the Irish should bo made the occa
sion of any demonstrations of hostil
ity to your President. Ho- is your
President, and while as Americans
no doubt you havo a light to criti
cise, you will forglvo me for saying
that I feel it is not In good taste be
fore a stranger. I am here to ob
tain the aid of all lovers of liberty
in America, and they embrace all
sections. Those who would identify
us with any sections and those who
act unworthily of what is a holy
cause, are the worst enemies of Ire
land, even though it bo unconscious
ly. I can not see any good purpose
that it served by tho press exaggera
tion of the New York Incident. As
I pointed out this morning one or
two in a meeting can make a great
noise, and it would be an obvious de
vice for thoso who arc opposed to
our cause tc send agents for that
purpose."
IRISH RACE ARMY.
Fot' seven hundred years England
has fought and has sought to de
stroy the Irish nation by uprooting
it mrom its natiyo sou ana anving it
with the scourge of flro and flame,
with tho scourgo of famine and per
secution, with the scourgo of degra
dation and calumny, to tho four cor
ners of tho world, thinking that at
last the might of her empire would
bo opposed .only by the enfeebled
remnant of the race clinging to the
homeland.
The glory of the present Irish
movement is that it is showing Eng
land that she is confronted not by
four and ono-half million people in
Ireland, but by an aroused and en
raged Irish race thirty million
Btrong, meeting her with the face of
Nemesis wherever her agents go
throughout the length and breadth
of tho United States, in tho Island
continent of Australia, under the
Southern Cross, and within tho trip
ly locked gates of tho Peace Con
ference. This Is tho army of the
Irish race, springing, to arms, an
embattled nation, purposeful and de
termined to end the long enslave
ment of tho motherland.
Every Irish man and woman in
whose protestations of a desire "to
see the old land liberated thero has
been any sincerity should be enroll
ed today as soldiers of this great
army, in some 'branch of the Friends
of Irish Freedom or other society
afflWated with that nntlonal organiza
tion, for every such society ia a regi-
meat standing' to arms for th- laat
great battle on the field of world
wide public opinion. Bveryona

Joseph Patrick Crowe, the fearless
K. of C. Secretary, has Just recoived
word in his home in Binghamton,
N. Y that Gen. Petain, Commander
of the French armies, has awarded
him tho Croix de Guerre with a gold
star. Tho citation was issued May
5, and lie was then praised for his
bravery In tho Argonno wh'en he was
wounded again.
Shortly after tho United. States
went into tho war "JoeM Crowe tried
to enlist in the army, but was too
old. As a "Casey" under flro Major
Castle, of tho Eighty-second division,
says Crowe was a "man clear
through."
Tho thousands of mothers and
fathers of heroic American soldiors
nnd sailors who died in England,
France, Belgium and Germany will
Boon receive photographs of the
graves whoro these boys lie. Re
cently tho "Casey" workers deco
rated all the mounds with laurel
wreaths, and so many letters were
received from heart-broken parents
and sweethearts and wives, asking
for a description of tho last resting
place of their loved ones, that the
Knights of Columbus decided to
photograph all the graves and send
them to the nearest kin of tho fallen
fighters.
Above each mound, In serried
rows, white crosses mark tho graves
and on each cross Is plainly painted
tho name of tho dead American, Jds
company and the date ho was killed.

With the last mail from tho A. E.
F. word was received of tho pro
motion of Second Lieut. William
Shiuniek to First Lieutenant of the
Fourth Infantry, Second division,
now with the Army of Occupation at
Coblenz. Germany. This Is quite a
distinction for tho Shelbyville boy
because of the fact he was a Provis
ional Second Jjieulenant from the
first training camp and at the ex
piration of two years ho was to have
taken an examination for secona
Lieutenant In the regular army, and
this: promotion coming ahead of the
time allotted speaks well for his
ability as a soldier. Ho has been
overseas since April, 1918, and was
in the major offenses. He is the son
of Mr. and Mrs. Ed: D. Shinn!ek,
Shelbyville, who gave also another
son to the eei-vlce of his country.

Well, tho local "reform" adminis
tration is skidding badly again and
an S. O. S. call has been sent for
the Men's Federation leaders to
bring their anti-vico chains around:
gambling, bootlegging, negro hold
ups and ono or two negro shootings,
tho usual murder in the number, be
Ipg on the programme this past
week. In the negro murder case
the "reform" administration fol
lowed its Usual procedure. No re
port was made by tho Coroner, no
report was made by tho Chiof of
rPolice, and the same old alibi was
thrown out by tho Keystone police
that they believed tho negro was
killed by unknown soldiers from
Camp Taylor. Whenever our wear
ers of the rusty uniforms don't ar
rest or are afraid to arrest negro
gamblers or murderers tho crlnle Is
charged to unknown soldiers at
Camp Taylor. Our Shelbyville Chief
staged another of his famous shake
ups this week in tho police depart
ment, but In line with nast perform
ances there was no change that
would glvo us somo Teal police In
stead of a bunch of "yap" motor
men and conductors. Secretary
"Jimmy" Cunningham was made
Captain in the Sixth district, prob
ably because ho already had a
Captain's uuilorm, and Judging from
appearances uniforms are scarcer
than men. Speaking of Shelbyville,
that thriving little burg is well re

to orato from the housetops about

hanging around the Mayor's door
every morning to register a protest
about this or that what they charged
to mls-goveinment. Imagine if you
can these things happening under
any other aJmlnistratlon but a "re

ing houses wide open within a few
Miuarea of the City Hall, prisoners
bound for Frankfort start a riot in
the Jail, and the Jailer asks tho
Warden at the Frankfort Penitent
iary to please punish them and put
them to bed for misbehaving ia the
Loulsvlllo Jail; tho poor and un
fortunate are charged a fee of $1.83
per day to enter tho City Hospital,
although the citizens of Louisville
pay taxes for tho upkeep of this mil
lion dollar Institution; the city
charter is violated week in amTweek
out by tho appointment of police and
firemen who are not residents and
Ineligible in other ways; and last
but not least, Juggling of rules and
ordinances to benefit the machine
bosses. As for Instance, the arrest
and backdown in the Searcy auto
caso.
Early Monday morning tho Key
stone pollco seized a big auto outside
of the Inter-Southern building, and
In accordance with tho usual custom,
hauled it to Central Police Station,
where a fee of ? 3 is extracted from
the owner before the machine is
released. But horror of horrors!
the poor old Keystonors who
brought the auto were called all the
boneheads ia the category when It
was discovered that the auto was
the property of His Most Royal
LUighness Chesley Searcy, Chief
Gazaboo and Trusted Keeper of the
Wampum in tho Republican party.
For punishment tho poor Koystoners
were forced to clean oft the car, fill
up the gas tank and bring tho car
back to its proper place. Then for
further punishment thoy were forced
to go up the Inter-Southern steps
on their hands and knees, and on
entering tha presence of His Royal
Highness with many a salaam and
kowtow offer abject apologies for
tho mistake. It is further rumored
that instead of securing tho custom
ary 3 for tho auto seizure the auto
pirates had to cough up ?3 for the
reform fund.
But ihere is the point we want to
make. What does ithe Men's Feder
ation think of this case, which is
but a duplicate of the result when
tho cars of Lewis Johnson, of the
Board of Safety, and Judge Bing
ham wore picked up for violation of
the auto ordinance lawB? And out
side of our non-working Men's Fed
eration what a holler should como
trom tho auto owners who are
forced to come down to Central
Station and cough up $3 for their
cars, the $3 evidently being punish
ment because the owner is not a
prominent or Influential Republican.
Speaking of the auto ordinances, the
actions of the near detective who
spots cars in the central part of the
city is sure amuIng. This bird
prpwls from curb to curb wlthi a
big piece of chalk in his hand, and
after saying "ene-meae, miney-mo,"
a few times marks a ear with the
hoo-doo sign, wWeh means the own
er la to be nicked for $3. Now and
then he gutters a .big audience
about him( delivers a' little lecture
on Col. Potty's auto ordinances and
passes out a few pamphleU. Many
strangers haven't gotten tho angle
yet, and. thoy think the auto detec
tive is a corn doctor with the regu
lar ballyhoo lecture when they see
tho daily performance By tho way,
many would like to hear from Col.
Potty on how much has been gath
ered In on this auto seizure fund,
What it Is applied to or w,ho gets it.
Members of tho General Council
took a round about fling at tho Key
stone police the other night in cast
ing reflections on tho seedy, rusty
uniforms of tho "yap" cops. Tho
speakers didn't want to come right
out and knock the Joko police, but
used the attack on tho uniforms as
a subterfuge and as a hint to Chief
Petty and tho Board of Safety that
the public were souring fast on tho
deteriorating police department.
Along thJs lino the Chief tried to
offset the failure of his Keystonors
as mounted police by purchasing"
wholesale a lot of flivvers to carry
tho "hicks" around. This hasn't
worked very well though, as tho
"boys from the sticks" Just don't
seem to bo ablo to handle tho pesky
Fords as well as street cars and
there are numerous smashups and
wrecks. This week the Lieutenant
In tho Fourth Police district lost all
control of the. "gol dcrned thing"
and the flivver and Its rider climb
ed the sidewalk, thence Into a
citizen's yard and made an effort to
go uninvited into the man's house,
only being balked by the narrow
ness of tho door. Of course, some
Women and children narrowly es
caped getting killed, but Pctty'a
Keystoners must havo their fling.
cosh dash it." No. there wasn't
any mention of this in the daily
papers, as it didn't
get past tho
censor.
The fire department hasn't filled
up with "hicks" as fast as the po
lice department, because the nre un
denwriters kicked so strenuously, but
the insurant men ought to give fa-
vorablo mention Ip their next Teport
to the reel driver who drove away
tho other night to a flro holdings an
umbrella as a protection against tho
rain. Spectators along the route
roared with laughter, but the one
handed driver probably believed he
was living up to tho Republican doc
trino of protection at least fiom
the rain. There Is a man on South
Eighteenth street who, in company
with the insurance men who had to
pay, can't see anytning junnj . in the following narrative: He was

YOUR OWN HOME
The stronK tendency
for homo
ownership to make for stability of first appointed chaplain of St. Jo
the owner and to bring out in him soph's Orphanage, later becoming
the best traits of citizensnip are
thus stressed In a statement made
by Cardinal Gibbons:
"The root of the commonwealth
Is the homes of the people. In pro
portion as our people own their
homes, the country gains In stability.
Home is the primeval school. It
Is the best and most hallowed and
most potential of all academies, and
the parent, especially the mother,
Is the first and most influential and
cherished of all teachers. The In
dividual and national character may
be traced to tho training imparted
under the domestic Toof, and its
beneficial of baneful Influence may
be gauged by the religious and
moral standard of tho family circle.
Let your homo bo your own home;
the sanctuary of domestic peace,
sobriety and parental love. Let dis
content and angry words be ban
ished from it, and under such in
fluences your children will grow In
virtue. Above all, let it be the
asylum of daily prayer and then tho
angels of God and tho God ot angel3
will be there."

Will Bo a Solemn, Interesting and

ACTIVE AND EARNEST WORKER.
The celebration of the twenty-fifth
anniversary of the ordination of
Rev. Father Francis Felten to the
holy priesthood will be one of tho
most solemn, Interesting and largely
attended religious occasions of tho
Catholic dloceso ,of Louisville. Not
only is Father Felten well known in
Catholic ministerial circles, but he
Is also the treasuored friend of the
most, prominent citizens of Louif-
Mile. At present the lubllarl.in la
the belove.l pastor of St. Martin's
cnurcn on Shelby and Gray streets.
wiucn uirougn nis executive ability
has become one of the most prosres-
bivo pansnes ot tno city.
itev. Francis Felten was born at
Osnabruck,, Hanover, Germany, on
March 6, 1872. After completing his
college education thero in 1888 ho
made his study of philosophy at the
university or Vienna, Austria, and
later studied theology at Eichstadt,
Bavaria. His last year in the
seminary was spent at Chur, Switzer
land, On July 22, 1894, with Papal
dispensation, ho was ordained to the
holy priesthood at tho age of twenty
two. How tbe'young neophito hanDened
to come to America will be found
her telling her that he was about to
bo ordained to the priesthood. 'She
in her Joy at the news told the late
Rev. Francis Zabler, pastor of St.
Martin's church. Ho in turn spoke
to Bishop McCloskey, who availed
himself of the opportunity of having
the young neophite ordained for his
dlocose Father Felten arrived in
ijSLtouisvttle on October 6; .'1894,'s-an'd
Uls first mass in America was
celebrated In tho church of which
, he is uow pastor. Father Felten was
pastor of St. John's church near
Paducah. From there ho came to
Louisville and presided at the
Church of tho Blessed Sacrament on
Washington street during tho vaca
tion of its pastor.
His permanent work really began
with his accepting tho appointment
as pastor of St. Augustine's colored
church at Fourteenth and Broadway.
His work at this church, of which he
was pastor for eighteen years, stands
out like an open hook and needs no
comment further than to say: "He
who runs may read." One event we
might mention in connection with
his work at St. Augustine's was tho
disposal of the property at Four
teenth and Broadway and the
purchase of property and tho erec
tion of a now church and tectory at
Thirteenth and Broadway, accom
plished by his Judgment and fore
sight. On May 13, 1917, Father Felten
was appointed to succeed tho lato
Rev. Louis C. Ohio as pastor of St.
Martin's church. With his usual
energy he went to work, and tho
evidences of his short pastorate can
best be told by looking over the
field of his work. The parish has
been fully reorganized, the buildings
have been rejuvenated and the sur
roundings have taken on a park-llko
appearance, which1 speak moro
eloquently than words could express.
As an acknowledgment of Us
earnest labors, tho following Jubilee
programme has been briefly out
lined: Sunday, evening, 8 o'clock, the
celebration wJll be for the parish at
large, consisting of musical numbers
