President Harding, Secretary of State Hughes and Secretary of La bor Davis are all three members of the Baptist church, which fact wor rles no one, and is told only to cite what a turmoil there would be In Baptist circles especially If any three of the Presidential Cabinet were Catholics. There Is a little clique of Baptists In the South led by the narrow-minded Western Be corder and Its followers in this cltv. who see red every time the name of Catholic is mentioned With three Baptists at the head of our Government and not a single Catholic in the Cabinet these esniug faced Christians ought to free us from worry now about the Pope controlling America. HIGHEST TYPE CITIZEN. Many editors, public men and non-Catholic ministers of the Gospel have, In speaking ot-.Cardlnal Gib bons of venerated memory, declared him to be an American citizen of the very highest type. Not only a good and loyal citizen, but of the highest type. This admission should silence, If anything could tho threadbare slander that a Catholic can not be a good American. In connection with the honest admis sion and truthful declaration that Cardinal Gibbons was the very high est and best type of" an American citizen, don't fall to remember that he was In favor of the freedom ana Independence of Ireland. One of his last utterances was an appeal In be half of the suffering people of that outraged country. So the best of American citizens has set an exam ple In this respect as well as in others. BETRAYER Foxy England tied up the Allies during ths -war. All did her bid ding. Then peace came and there was another general agreement, part of which was that there would be no recognition of the Russian soviet republic. First Franco refused to trade with Russia, then the United States took similar action. English statesmen were In the habit con stantly of referring to the founders of the new republic as murderers, cut .throats and tyrants. On March 16 a trade agreement was signed in London between the "Government of the Russia Socialist Federal Sov iet Republic" and tho British Gov ernment, toeether with a declara tion of recognition of claims signed by M. Krassln and Sir .Robert Home, President of the British Board of Trade. No better evidence is needed to show England can not be trusted, especially where her own selfish in terests are concerned. MUST BE FREE. Despite the talk of peace and of truces In Ireland, hostilities there have not abated during the past few weeks. We read of murders and "reprisal" burnings Just as fre quently as ever. We believe that tho situation is growing more seri ous every day. One thing is cer tain: The policy of British terror ism can not overcome the spirit of fredom In the people of Ireland. Lloyd George may sanction murder and his Infamous "Black and Tans" may commit the most savage atroc ities, but Ireland will yet be free. has no fourteen -points for the world to adopt. He believes, in America first. Wo should not be Indifferent to tho welfare of Eu rope; but neither should we un dertake tho direction of affairs there. -'We have plenty of troubles of our owm Those who find ifault with the vagueness and apparent Indecision of tho President should remember that he faces the most difficult problems in the nation's history. Before them a certain dif fidence and lack of cock-sureness is fitting. We hope that President Harding will do his share toward solving the difllcult problems of tho day. But we do not expect him to do everything. Only time and hon est endeavor can settle the ques tions that now press for settlement. We have confidence In the ultimate triumph of right in America. And we believe- that President Harding will do his share in assuring this triumph. VERY SORE. Sir Edward Carson is today prob ably the most disappointed politi cian in the British Empire. Some time ago Sir Edward resigned the leadership of "Ulster," and an nounced that he did not intend to retain any connection with Ireland. We said at tho time that Carson knew his party could not maintain Its ascendency In "Ulster," conse quently ho thought it best to get out while the going was good. We now know that Sir Edward had an other motive, namely, he wanted to be free to work for the leadership of the Tory party on the retirement of Bonar Law. The Tories, how ever, would not have him; the hqnor was given to Austen Cham berlain, and therefore Sir Edward Is "eore," as the boys say very sore Indeed. GIVEN GOOD START. With tho approval of Bishop O'Donaghue, plans 'for tho .building of a Catholic church were discussed and ofilcers elected at a meeting of the St. Benedict's Church Commit tee at the Alfred S. Brandels School riast week. Several large subscrip tions wero made toward the fund of $45,000 estimated to ho necessary for the building of the combined church, school and parish house de cided -on. Ofilcers were elected as follows: Chairman, Otto E. Ernst; Vice Chairman, L. C. Marchand; Financial Secretary, Otto Wirth; Recording Secretary, J. P. Long, and Treasurer. G. P. Wahle. The Women's" Auxiliary will hold a May Festival on the site of the proposed church iMay 25 and 26.

The True Voice finds It hard to get at the real significance of "Pres ident Harding's message to Con gross. Newspaper headings flatly contradict each other as to the mpanlnir of the President on our foreign relations. There 1b no doubt that he opposes the. League of Nations covenant and that he is in favor of a declaration of peace by Congress. But he does not fa yor any definition in the declaration of ouT future policy toward other nations. This he holds to be the function of the executive depart ment of our Government. Some take it that he favors the treaty of Versailles with reservations. Others that he repudiates all that -nfes done there by President Wil son. We rather think that he fa vor a waiting . policy. Dovelop meate must determine our altitude toward the nations of Burope, and the freedom of America from all MjOT-geverament, of leagues or as BOoiaUoBA of nations must be main tained. This, we believe, Is a sensi ble attitude for the President lo take. He" does not- claim oaante- cieaoe h international affairs, Daughters of Isabella of Jeffer sonvllle received holy communion In a body Sunday morning at St. Augustine's church, preparatory to the initiation of a class of thirty five candidates In the afternoon.

Roused from sleep by the fires, half clad women snatched up their terrified children and tramped to Belfast, in search of shelter. When they arrived in that city, their bare feet were bleed ing. They and their families were ex hausted. Lisburn is still in ruins, its business completely stoppedj. Since August the inhabitants have been living on a fund administered by a non-sectarian, non political organization in the Ulster cap ital. That fund is now gtjne. There are too many other ruined towns in Ireland demanding help for that country to longer 6upiort Lisburn. To supply money to alleviate such acute distress the American Committee for Relief in Ireland has been formed. It is an organization of American business and professional men started for the purely humanitarian purpose of saving children and women from starvation. It needs $10,240,000 to carry out its pro gram. A campaign for this fund is now m progress under the direction of Captain John F. Lucey, Mr. Hoover's first aide in Belgian relief.
