CAPT. IiAUKIX'S FUNNY STOUY.
One can not help chronicling the
fact 'that all te not joy and fierone
In the Republican ranks, either
State or locally, nor is that har
mony present which one would ex
pect considering that the party is
in power 'Jn ithe nation, State and
city. The pussy-footing of the Hard
ing administration in regard to al
liances amid disarmament has dis
gusted many ipeople, but the great
est worry of (the G. O. P. is that
the millions of unemployed men ami
-women throughout the country are
wondering what has beoomo of the
full dinner parti promises. In the
State the Republicans outbid of
Louisville are bitter against the
Searcy-Chilton machine, claiming
that every thtolng has been sacrificed
to akl the parity In Louisville. Na
tional Committeeman. Searcy gave
out the statement the other day that
the stinging defeat given the parity
In the recent State elections was due
to the fact that Harding and Post
master Hayes hadn't kicked out
enough Democratic Postmasters.
This 1s to laugh. The majority of
Kentucky voters attribute the de
feat to ithe rank failure of itihe
'Howdy Ed" administration at
Frankfort. How it'hne flies. Eigh
teen months ago (the Seartey-Chllton
organ and ithe G. O. P. (bosses were
carrying Morrow around on a sil
ver platter at the Republican, na
tional convention, and claiming that
he was the logical ndmlnee for Vice
President, because he just had car
riod Kentucky by 40,000 majority
Now he just lost it by fiO.000, and
they jaro ready to throw bricks at
the Republican Governor.
Boss Searcy also gave out the
etateemnt that he was running back
and tenth to Washington to urge the
appointment of Republicans as Post
masters, but doesn't seeni to hare
the co-operatom of Senator Ernst
and Republican leader Maurice Gal
vin or Covington, who appear to
have joined the big army of State
Republicans to opposition to the
Louisv'Iio machine. Somle of the
State leaders aver that Ches' fre
' quent trips to Washington mean
that he is laboring hardi to land the
appointment to the Louisville Post
mastership of his cousin, CaL Petty,
Chief df Police. And strong rumor
has It that both President Harding
and Postmaster Hays are a little
lukewarm oni Potty's appointment,
both being opposed to a man jump
ing from one position to another.
Senator Ernst and Mr. Galviu don't
seem to be fretting over the matter
and a strong inside tip is that the
plum will go to Herman Monroe,
one of tho old guard of the G. O. P.,
who seems to liavo acquired consid
erable backing for the place. All
of the above sounds very plausible,
-as one would hardly expect Boss
Searcy -to be hot-ftoating back and
fonthl to Washington just to secure
the Postmasterahip appointments for
same State Republicans at Hickory
Corners or Gravel Switch. Naturally
he would be more 'interseted in Col.
-Lad."
Tho 'coming session of tho Leg
islature promises much, for tho
State and the future Of the Dem
ocratic party. The party is on rec
ord .tor beneficial legislation that
wlM insure success la the next State
races. Many guesses1 are being
made as to probable starters for tho
Democratic nomination in 1S23, and
the general opinion 'is that (Crom
the present trend! itihe) nomination
wIH be like In the old days equiv
alent to an election. Senator Slm-
mens, of tho present Senate, da be
ing groomed by Percy Haly and El
wood Hampton. Congressman Al
bea Barkloy, of the Fired district,
1 receiving quite a boom from his
home section. Congressman Camp
bell Canitrill has been in the lime
light as a probable starter for some
time, but "has nover offiiolally an
nounced he would be a candidate.
Our own James Garnett, former At
torney General, has a big following
throughout the State who want him
to be Ahe Democratic standard, beax
4r, and it goes without saying he
woHta make a formidable candidate.
Many wonder how long Mayor
Huston Quint is going to keep up Ills
iwwontt berfes of continual perform-
. nc in regard, to betterment of
ojidiitoljus morally. For the past
.two weeks: we have been reading
"" daily- of how Mayor QuIbi addressed
meeting of bulneM men, goodi
oviwimnt 'representatives, mlnis
tm, Swiday-sehool workers or sim
itar bodies, and In every lnkuce
ibe wtMiajor came out with, the
wtrhe Hwe of tlk. Ilia teewea were

' slstance of Bible class workers, min
isters, business men, civic workers
or anyone else. Mayor Quin can
take a fTfteenHmniute stroll away
from the City Hall, go through Wal
nut, Tenth, Chestnut and West
streets and see crowds of negro
gamblers, loafers and Vicious crooks
hanginigMn front of and Inside tough
negro dives that pose as soft drink
etandsi.
Mayor Quin can take a shorter
stroll than that to pee that his po-
j lice department is not enforcing the
laws. Let him go for a three-
minute Walk over to Cedar street,
going West from Sixth street, and
for four or five brocks he will see
the scum of our negro population
and from whence came a big portion
of his 27,000 negro votes in tho
election. For another jaunt let him
go In the neighborhood Of First and
Liberty and see the hundreds of
tough negro men and women (Con
gregating there day and night wlth
put being molested bv the police.
These thousands of Idle negroes
depend on either gambling or burg
lary for a living, with election re
peating as a side lino in campaign
times. Frequently we hear of tho
police raiding a dice or poker game,
(lie police and the Searcy-Chilton
organ mnklng much over the fact
that a Democrat was caught In the
raid, but one never hears of a raid
In tho negro sections where hun
dreds of negro crooks and dope
fiends are living a dangerous men
ace to the community.
So the next time Mayor Quin
addresses a gathering and ladles
out that "bull" about wanting the
co-operation of that particular body
In cleaning the town, let some pub
lic spirited hearer tell him to put
the police on tho Job. Many have
begun to doubt already that Quin
the man will pull away from the
clutches of the Searcy-Chilton ma
chine. The first instance was tho
promotion of Sergeant Baker to a
lloutenantcy, after Baker had been
exposed as an election offender by
tho Mayor's Election Committee. Of
that Injustice there hasn't been a
word from tho Mayor, nor has ho
discussed th6 Baker appointment
with any of the gatherings ' from
whom he solicits advice and coun
sel. No one has heard yet of Quin
announcing that the police, fire
men and city employes must not
contribute monthly to the Republi
can League, this being tjic claim
shaving method of the Searcy-Chilton
machine.
Irvln Cohb, a humorist of national
reputation, relates a funny story In
the columns of the Evening Post
every day, but Capt. Edmund
Larkln, of the Police Department,
related one tothe press the otheF
day that surpasses anything of Mr.
Cobb's and is excruciatingly funny.
Here Is Capt. Larkln's funny story:
"My men patrol ,the district from
Preston to Sixth and from Broad
way to the river. Hero Is a list
of the cigar stands, soft drink es
tablishments and such places In my
district. The list shows the pro
prietor's name, phone numhor' and
home address. If. I hear that the
Yellow House, or tho Green House,
or the Pink House is violating the
law I don't want to have to go In
and ask a lot of bums who runs the
place and where he Is." That's a
corking good story, of Capt.
Larkln's, isn't it, and Is especially
amusing to those that traverse his
district. Wonder if the Captain's
complete index system will tell
just how much each of those soft
drink men and Green, Yellow and
Pink House proprietors contributed
to the Republican campaign fund,
and who made the collection.
You can bet that "Governor
Paul Burllngame is a bitter oppo
nent of women dn politics. During
the campaign the "Governor" had
two scrub women of itihe City Hos
pital force thrown out in the cold,
cruel world for daring to register
as Democrats. The hullabaloo that
was raised pretty near drove tho
Board of Safety Chairman crazy.
This Week it developed that the
"Governor" was accused by Miss
Emma Hunt of having tried ibo have
her removed from this zone of tho
United Public Health Service. Miss
Hunt is a State politician of renown
and a Democratic fighter of the old)
school. She enlisted all her power
ful friends In both the State and
nation, charging that the local Re
publican machine was tryta'S to
force her removal because she dared
to register Iher views-. The result
Was another solar plexus for "Gov
ernor" Burllngame, and if you wont
to make Paul mad ask him what he
thinks of woman suffrage.

THE SHAME OF LOUISVILLE.
One of the Board of Trade officials was quoted Saturday
incidents of the recent political campaign, and Jus views are the
.the anti-Catholic agitation. Concerning this the fallowing is taken
"If the Mayor and his committee, want, togojinto'tho damage question, the-Times would
like to submit a few facts: To begin with, it knows that a very wealthy Catholic capitalist
recently declined to invest in a Louisville proposition because of the scurrilous and untrue A.
P. A. campaign made by the Republican committee -at the fall election. Here is a definite in
stance of damage done that can not be charged to Mr. Harris. The Republican organ was sown
with aoti-Catholic innuendo for weeks before the election. Men who are now occupying judi
cial and other offices, and some of the foremost private citizens, signed an advertisement cal
culated to arouse religious prejudice. Shoddy anti-Catholic organs, published elsewhere but
remarkably full of religious 'argument," were circulated by tho thousands. The "pink circu
lar', against which Doctor Mullins righteously inveighs 'in another column of the Times to
day, was distributed widely in the interest of the Republican ticket." .
Rev. Dr. E. Y. Mullins, president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, said in
a published letter: "The odiousness of the pink circular as a political method appears when an
other list of names issued by the Republicans in a tract entitled 'Some Things You Should
Know About.' It gives a list of the present police force, and contains 347 names. On that list
there are ninety-eight Baptists, or a fraction over 28 per cent, of the total, On the pink circu
lar there are ninety-one names of Democratic candidates and' a little over twenty names of
Catholics on the corrected fists; that is the Catholics number a fraction over 27 per cent. 61
the total. Now, if 27 pef cent, of Catholics prove a sinister bargain with the Democrats, does
not 28 per "cent, of Baptist policemen prove a sinister bargain between Republicans and the
(Baptists? That is the clear indication of. the pink circular. Baptists today have twice as
many policemen as any other denomination and seven times as many policemen as any other one
denomination. Do the Republicans mean to boycott the other denominations? Now, I do not
believe the Republicans are trying to bribe the Baptists or boycott others more than I believe
the' Democrats are trying to bribe the Catholics. There are valid reasons for tho 27 per cent,
of Catholics and for the 28 per cent, of Baptists, urmy opinion. If not, let the whole truth be
known. Baptists will be the first to revolt against any corrupt combination of political parties
with religious bodies. I have written the above simply as a protest against what to me is an
unworthy political appeal."
The sentiments expressed above by avProtestant editor and a Baptist minister can be
construed to mean that serious damage was .done to Louisville by the Louisville Herald, the
Republican leaders and the Republican Campaign Committee, which attacked Catholics living
and dead. Tho campaign committee were William Heyburn, S,- Thruston Ballard, James C.
Willson, A. E. Willson, Arthur D. Allen, Charles G. Middleton, Frank B. Russell, Mrs. John Mid
dleton, Mrs. A. T. Hert, Mrs. Morris Gifford, Mrs. James A Leech, Mrs. Herbert Bronner, Al
fred LeGros, Charles F. Huhlein, Henry G. Knadler, B. Bernheim, C. C. Mengel, C. C. Stoll, Mar
vin H. Lewis, Ben L. Bruner, Chester K. .Reed, Richard M. Bean, Arthur Peter. The above
list are the ones referred to by the Louisville Times as "foremost private citizens" and they
should take the lead in repairing the damage done to Louisville's good name and the injustice
done Catholic citizens. If they lead a movement to destroy religious political prejudice in this
city they will have done a good work and earned'the gratitude of all fair-minded citizens.

LULL.
to take a short
I
as saying that all must forget
views of those responsible for
from the Louisville Times:
Tuesday the wonld wab electrified by
the announcement from London that
the Government officials and tho
representatives of tho DaSl GIreann
"had reached am agreement, the
terms of which will he submitted for
the acceptance of Parliament and1 Df
tho Ball Elmeann. After a session
which lasted more than ihxee hours,
from 11:15 at night until 2;20 in
the morning, ithe meeting of tho
Government Ministers and Irish rep
resentatives in the Downnlg street
residence of the Prime Minister sep
arated, and n mdmber of the Cab
inet, replying to a question as to
how things stood; saldi;
"The news Isn't bad; an agree
ment, in fact, has been reached, tho
terms of which will bo cOmmuni1"
cated to ithe press in time for tho
Wednesday morning papers."
The trelaty as signed conHlstB bf
eigMeen articles and giving to Ire
land the titlo of the Irish Free State
and the same const! tuloiikl status as
Canada, Australia and other over
Beas dominions. The question- of al
legiance, which up to the last mo
ment threatened to wree.k the nego
tiations, wafei surmounted by permit
ting the members of the Irish Par
liament to wear allegiance to the
ConMtttutkm of ithe Irfeb Free Slate
ard "be faithful to Hfe Majesty, the
King," The tretetj; yet ha to run
'Uie gaunlet of the UWr Govern
ment and of the Imperial Parlia
ment. The Imperial Parliament jnas
been summoned to meet December
14, and will be opened in, state by
t!he King, who 'has taken the closest
personal Interest in tho Irish nego
t!ilIons since he practically insti
gated them when he opened the
Ulster Parliament.
Approval of the Imperial' Parlia
ment is a foregone conclusion, ns
the Government has an overwhelm
ing majority In the House df Com
mons favoring its Irlslh policy, and
the action of the British representa
tives In reaching the agreement al
ready has been Indorsed unanimous
ly by ithe Cabinet. The pos'ition of
Ulster is less cortia'sn. Evidence
comes from Belfast that tho treaty
will be subjected to the most search
ing examination before receiving as
sent, and doubtless many modifica
tions will be proposed- Tho King
hastened to send a telegram to the
Prime Mi mister congratulating him
on the success of the negotiations
and. declaring: "I am overjoyed to
hear the splendid news."
Tho treaty was signed by nil the
members of the British and Irish
delegation participating in the nego
tiations, the Irish delegates signing
tnelr Gaelic names. Ireland s treat
ed as a single, entity in the pro
visions of the treaty, with Bneclal
clauses providing against the pos
sibility that Ulster ehou'Kd refuse ac
quiescence In the settlement, in
which oaee the Government of Ire
land Act of 1920 will remain in
force so. far as the Northern Parlia
ment is concerned, but with the
stipulation that a special comm'lsslon
shall determine new boundaries for
Northern Ireland. Provisions also
are made for the co-operation of
the two parliaments in providing
certain safeguards in tho event o
Ulster 'remaining out of the new
Free State. Neither parliament,
however, will be permitted under
the treaty to make laws endowing
any particular religion or to impose
any leliglous disability. Tho treaty
leaves to Ireland in tho future un
dertaking Its own coastal' defense
and provides that Ireland In time of
war shall give tho British farces
necessary harbor and other facilities.
It further, by providing against in
ternational limitation of armaments,
recognizes the Inish Free State's
right to maintain -its own military
defense force.
Austen Chamberlain, who is lead
er of the Government In the House
of Gammons and of tho Unionist
party, speaking at Binminlghaim
Tuesday, expressed, thoi conviction
that before Chritsmas peace and!
good-will' would be established, be
tween "the parent races OB the
British XtommoawcaitiV and he ap
pealed With emotion io Northern
Ireland to join the new Free State.
The Irish delegates reiturm home
fully satisfied wlith the result of the
negotiations They expect some op
position In the Da&l Blreann, but,
with the influence of Grifllitih and
Michael Collins, as WelV as the other
delegates, they have little apprehen
sion ns to the outcome.
With the tension and anxiety of
the! ipast weeks giving place to gen
eral rejoicing, Wednesday was a day
of all-round congratulations, of re
ea'lllnig tho memories of great figures
In the Irish struggle, whose work
and sacrifices .paved 'the road to to
day's accomplishments', and of
preparations) for the necessary for
malities for bringing the new Irish
Free State into being. Nowhere Is
there any real idea that anything
dan now happen to prevent Its birth,
although difficult detail may have to!
be encountered.
One of 'the first fruits of the peace
probably arranged for at the con
ference when the treaty was dratted
: was the royal proclamation lib
erating more than 3,000 prisoners
Interned in Jreland.. It is reported
also that there may bo reconsidera
tion of the sentences imposed on
thJofcae Irishmen convicted of polit
ical crimes. Preparations are afoot
in London, Dublin and Belfast for
the consideration of the treaty. Tho
Kirtg has summoned Parliament to
meet at Westminster December 14
to ratify ithe treaty, and. Cabinet
councils have been summoned at
Dublin and Belfast. Eairiann dd
Valera has as yet given no hlht of
his attitude, hut It Ss generally as
sumed as the delegates to tho Lon
don conference were plenipoten
tiaries that ithe treaty will be ap
proved at least in principle.
The signing of the treaty has been
received joyfully by tho Labor party.
A jolnlt manifesto was Issued, by
the various bodies comprising the
party, expressing satisfaction and
the hope that Ulster would whole
heartedly adopt the agreemient, and
also appealing to tho Belfast work
ers 'to secure Industrial peace In tho
Interest of trade union solidarity.
The Irish: delegates on leaving
London for Dublin 'had a wildly en
thusiastic sendoff from thousands
of London Irishmen and women
gathered In Eustoru station. The
large force of police present tried!
vainly Ao control the excited1 crowd,
but the delegates had literally to
fight their way to tho train.
Michael Collins gavo a brief state
ment to the press Wednesday even
ing, but made no direct comment on
the treaty, confining himself to re
marks on tho possible Influence, of
the Irish Free' State on world, pol
itics. The royal proclamation calling
for the assembling of Parliament
next week orders tho members to
attend for consideration of "divers
urgent and Important maittera" Un
der tho proclamation the Sinn Fein
members, who have heretofore dis
regarded thfet summoning of tho
House of Commons, may take their
seats. It is doubtful, however, it
they wSli'. There, are serenity-th-ree

SPHERE OF GREATEST" SUCCESS.
Modern science has given us cheap
reproductions of tho world's famous
paintings. Their study should be an
Incentive to spend evenings at home,
for they allow us to share in tho
noblest emotion of the race and in
troduce us to the thought of some
of the world's greatest artists. "A
great picture Is like a poem, it be
longs to the generation and Is to bo
looked at and enjoyed." Applying
the hand in useful and artistic work
in the family c'ircle was likewise
once"a factor In home-Building.
Drawing, painting, sketching and
clay modeling hold out many oppor
tunities more refined, a place worth
wHIle, for making tho home more
lovely, where Ithe old folks gladly
rest and whore tho children find
their greatest delight and pleasure.
What makes this decay of home
life so pitiable from tho Catholic
point of view is that the family, audi
hence ithe home, are such vital and
Important institutions of social wel
fare, the foundation of progress in
every order, the root of social peace
and prosperity. Our Divine Savior
Himself sanctified the home and
home Hfe. He enjoyed the sweet
and Simple pleasures of the holy
family Hfe at Nazareth. His most
happy years, and by far the largest
portion of his blessed life, He passed
In the humble home in tho little
town of Palestine. He wrought bis
first miracle at the foundation of a
new homo at Oana and for the hap
piness of a family. . Into how many
a home Ho hrought comfort by his
miracle, his wondrous cures ana
manifold acts of well doing!
Modern education! has takeii up
the problem of home training and
has Introduced elaborate industrial
courses and domlestlc sdience teach
ing into the curriculum. But let us
reason Cor a moment concerning tho
real object of these studies. Tho
word "domestic" In domestic science
is connected with the Latin word
"domus," homo or house. There
fore th5s kind of training IS intended
to prepare girls for tho great and
all-essential work and duty of home
making and home-building and
homo-keeping. In other words, they
are to learn how to make tho homo
a place which will be gladly sought
by all the members of .the family,
especially when after their mlamlago
they have founded a home of .their
own. What would we think of a
student who, after having success
fully completed a medical course at
great expense to his parenlts, should
ahandonn the fruits of his years of
study and turn to some1 other work?
What should we say of the young
man who after spending years In tho
study of law, and1 after having grad
uated In tho profession, should neg
lect it, sell his few books and turn
to some entirely different field?
But yet many girls today, who
have an opportunity to acquire a
good training In domestic sclonco
and household economy, that is to
the art of home-making, show by
their conduct that they do not ap
preciate thdir opportunity. They nrd
doing little to make the home a
pleasant abode, and to help their
mothers by practising Tvhati they;
have acquired in tho schools. They
are like tho student who gives up
the results of years of study and of
hand1 work fa some profession td
take up some other duties.
Now this lis not because girls
really do not see the value of the
training ithey are getting along thesel
lines or becauso they havo a proju
dice against practising what thoyt
have learned: They are simply im
bued With the foolish notion that
there are higher and better and no
bler spheres of action open to them
than home-making. Perhaps there
are for soma. But not for tho vast
majority. Mrs. Nefwell Dwight HilUs,
a woman well known in Brooklyn!
society, some time ago contributed;
a paper on "Some. Successes, ot
American Women" to thd Outlook,
In which she' says: "But the sphere
whore woman has made her first,
lost, and greatest success, and whens)
there Will always be the first, IaaW
and greatest need of her service, M
In home-making. The. tendency oil
tho day Is (towards fewer homes, buti
though the h'omeemaker Is rarer for
tunately tho type Is far from ex
tinct." PEACE On earth.
At tWs season of hoty peace it
will not be amiss to remind our
selves of the "Important conference
that will take plaice next May atl
Rome, 'the center ot Christendom.
Catholics from every country in the'
world will assemble to pay public
homage of love and obedience to
the King ot Kings, the P.rtoee of
