It was lust after the State election in which Morrow had been chosen Governor by a majority of 40,000. All eyes were on Ken tucky. The big Republican bosses throughout the United States were fawning on Tobe and "Howdy Ed," hoping to get their assistance for their Republican Presidential candi date. Every now and then Tobe, Morrow and Ches would take a trip East where they wore lionized and pointed out as the men who held Kentucky In the hollow of their tiand;. and it would show Republican majorities forever and forever. 'Howdy Ed" Morrow.was even se lected to nominate Vice President Coolldge In the Republican conven tion while there was much talk of -making Morrow the Vice Presiden tial liomlnoe.

The fire foss In the city of Louisville since the first of the year has- been over a half million dollars. The Louisville Food Products flro of last Sunday alone showed a flro Joss ot nearly $400,000, and the two Woolworth store fires a -loss ot over $60,000. This breaks all records tor the city of Loulsvlllo in fire loss, and the Log Cabin says tho de partment Is showing big Improve ment, Sunday the Food Products fire was held to a .$400,000 loss by tho fact that Jupiter Pluvlus came through with a heavy downpour and Ihen again the residents, of the neighborhood showed their confi dence In the "efficient" Are depart' m'eht by using garden hoso and buckets of water all afternoon to save their homes.

Kenedy's Official Catholic Direct ory for 1921 furnishes Interesting statistics, which show that the Catholic Church is still growing, and growing rapidly. There are now 28,122,859 members of tho Catholic Church in the United States and its possessions, and of this large num ber 17,885,646 are in the United States proper. This la an Increase of 150,093 In this country alone, and with the revised statistics from our possessions, shows a total gain of 300,000 over the ctatlstlcs fur nished last year. iSuch figures clearly demonstrate that religion- Is not losing ground in this modern era, but rather Is gaining many new adherents. Statistics for converts reported by seventy-three dioceses' state that in the year 1920 over 39,000 adults became Roman Cath olics. AUXILIARY SCHOLARSHIP.

Presa dispatches state -that Pope Benedict, in .his allocution delivered at. the recent secret consistory, alt ludod to Ireland having her ancient struggles renewed. There .had been an outbreak of appalling violence and crimes in contradiction of the laws of morality, tho Pontiff de clared, "crimes which we condemn by whichever side committeed." It there Is any consolation in that for those who are responsible for the unspeakable crimes ot the "Black and Tans" la Ireland they. are welcome to it. The Pope con demns crimes by whomsoever they are committed. And the burden of tho crimes in Ireland rests on tho British hirelings there and the Lloyd Georgo Government that sent them there to do their devilish work. In spite ot the attempt to cover up and gloss over the mur ders and burnings In Ireland, tho world knows tho record that has no parallel in modern times. In striking contrast to this fear less stand of Pop Benedict XV, appears the action ot the Anglican Bishops of England at their recent coavocatlon at York. Tho convo cation decided by a voto of 17 to 16 not to condemn tho military re prisals In Ireland but to recom mend prayers for tho country. The reprisals consist in shooting inno cent men in their beds as was done in tho case of tho Mayor of Limerick and tho ex-Mayor, ot tho same city last week the wrecking and burning' of homes, stores, fac torles and creameries and the de struction of food supplies of fam ilies wherevor found. If theso things had been done la Belgium the Anglican Bishops would have been swift and sure In their con demnation and la their protest In tho name ot humanity. But because thoy have been dono by British forces In Ireland, tho Anglican Bishops refuse to condemn them Well, they have not made the world think bettor of them or of tho re prisals ,by their silence. A body of clergymen that refuses to condemn crimes of this nature haa forfeited tho respect of humanity every where. FLAGS FOR THE POPE.

Gratitude for President Harding's support of the movement In America to raise funds for the suffering In Ireland has been cabled to the White House by the Lord Mayor of Dublin. "The grand and afflicted peoplo of Iroland," the cablegram said, "aro sincerely gratified by your encouragement ot tho movement to give them financial support.

IRELAND American Citizen Imprisoned and His Homo Raided by British Soldlerj'. tA John Si-anlan Sentenced for Having Ammunition Placed by . Police.

TT la n .victim ot a Black and Tan raid made on his home In Klllaloe, County Clare, ireiana. uis wite, a wow York woman, Is suffering from nervous prostration. Subsequent to the raid In which her husband was taken away her homo was visited three times by the Black and Tans. For tt time It was feared she would not recover. Letters containing pathetic appeals for help written by Mrs. Scanlan to Mr. and Mrs. James Hart, have resulted in an Inquiry Into tho case by the United States Government. Tho letter describes the treat ment to which Mr. and Mrs. Scanlan were subjected. Scanlan was tried by a court-martial and convicted of having ammunition In his home. The ammunition, Mrs. Scanlan says. was brought there by the Blnck and Tans. She and her friends here point out that her husband's phys ical condition has been such slnco 1912 that he could not possibly have participated In any activities against the British Government. Mason Mitchell, American Consul at Queenstown, declined to Intervene after her husband's arrest on tho ground the British Government had then taken no action. After Scanlan was convicted and sent to prison, Iier letters say, Mitchell this Umo declined to Intervene on the ground that a British court had acted and he could not Interfere. ..Describing,. tho raid of -November 25, Mrs. Scanlan'a letter reads: . "The Black and Tans came Into my house.' Most of them were drunk. Some nf tliAm. front nlotnla .'pointed at Mr. Scanlan during the enure penou ot me raid, three and a half hours. Others searched tho house. I gave them every assistance, as I knew we had nothing to con ceal." The followlnc dav the hnmA wni ngaln raided and looted, and it was noi uniu unnstmas evo Mrs. Scan lan learned her husband was In Wormwood Scruhn Prifinn. T.nnrlnn and that he was to bo shipped to an unnnown destination In England. Frantic, the following day, she tele phoned to Consul MltchoM, who answered that "It would be neces sary to know the result before tho matter could bo taken up." Com menting on the fJnnqni'a rnlv Mm Scanlan writes: "You can not imagine the awful state of affairs here. On Christmas nleht the choice lot nf RitiM,- nnd Tans wo have In Klllaloe raided and robbed farmhouses outside the town. They stole everything they could find. Even wedding rings were car ried off. A few shillings, wages of poor laborers, were stolen In many cases." In the earlv nnrt nf .Innnanr 1921, Mrs. Scanlan, who was III. naa another shock, She received a form letter written from Ipswich Prison, England, which told her her husband was there. Only tho Blgnatur was In her husband's handwriting. Again on January 17 hnr llflmo U-flJ Vtolforl nnr 4l.n tiixitaT and outrageous treatment of tho women py tne urown torces Is thus described: "We were tillfAti rinumntnlt-a anil undressed and searched by a woman. Tho Black and Tans went through tne house. After thoy went away again I made a search. Doors nnd windows and furniture had been smashed. My -Jewelry had been taken. One of the pieces was a gold wntfih ir.tfh n olintn anA nrnu with pearls. My handbag caritainlng some money was taken and othor valuables. .When all was over. "I collansed. I could not p-p( n nhvsl. clan until morning. He said I was sunenng irom nervous prostration." Three days later, while Mrs. -Scanlan was seriously 111 in 1ia1 tha raiders again came. This time, her ieuers snow, tney confined them selves to searching tho house and terrorizing the women. Her last lot- ter reads: "I intend to stick hero and de rend my home as long as there; js a, roof over mv head.
