LECTURE UPON PROBLEM OF RELIGIOUS PREJUDICE At Knights of Columbus Convention by Joseph Scott of Los Angeles. Speaking before the Knights of Co- lumbus convention in Davenport, Iowa on American_ Citizenship, Joseph ~ Scott of Los An; California, touched sharply upon the i Mr. problem of religious prejudi Scott is lecturer for the Rel Prejudice Committee of the Sup Council of the Knights of Columbus. No matter, he said, how loy: Americans are in the . spirit of patriotism, it i implant the idea of patriotism frmly in the plastic minds of our children. There never was a time since Lin- coln’s presidency when country needed more the spirit of harmony and cooperation from all classes and condi- tions of people. “The only test of loy country,” said Mr. Scott, * lief among its citizens of the American Ideal as being superior to & now existing on earth.” cussing some recent problems Mr. Scott said: “A great deal is heing said now _about the hyphenated American. It would be well to put a soft pedal upon talk of that kind. Let it be remembered that the hyphen originally was put upon the immigra as a badge of exclusion in certain s tions of our country, particularly where the Anglo Saxon stock predom- inated. The Knights of Columbus has no limitation on its membership growing out of radical distinction.

Men, even women, have been going through this country on lecture platforms, and through public pri with a campaign of viiification of the manhood and womanhood of the Ca lic church which would resurrect even the dead to righteous indignation. We Catholic men are just like the rest of you, with a limit of hum tience. For centurie heve 7 respect our mothers, our Wi Sisters anu oo therefore the maiis are fil erature unfit to be read by decent people it is hardly to be wondered at if in certain places impulsive men have resented insults to their women in 2 manner not warranied by law. “I am surprised to note that a great deal of this scandal mongery comes from the south, the land of chivalry and gallantry hardly excelled in his- tory.” Returning to his subject of citizen- ship Mr. Scott said: “My observation has led me to he- lieve that there is some anxiety even among some otherwise well-informed people as to the political power of the Pope. Ordinarily that would be an extensive subject to consider in one night. Contemporary history has Low- ever afforded an illustration that should remove the last lingering sus- picion of doubt from such anxious citizens. “We Catholic Americans owe no po- litical allegiance to the Pope. He has no civil powers whatever over our tivities, I am saying this deliberat and without equivocation or reserv ton, andgam asking you to accept it with the sincerity with which it is ex- pressed. “So long as relgious liberty is prac- ticed under the spirit of the constitu- tion the Catholic would be the veriest ingrate who would not give his whole- hearted allegiance to this country. If | we only look abroad therefore for the illustration to which I refer we will see Catholics of every country dying by the thousands for the flag of their nation. In some instances that flag typifies a country which has in the past promulgated and enforced di criminating laws against the Catholic church and deprived Catholics of their just rights, and positively pre their freedom and happiness, c- but is the flag of their country, and the Catholic’s patriotism is a living vrtue, and he fell impelled to respond to the it call of patriotism and duty of his conscience. “I think I voice the sentiments of the membership of the Knights of Co- lumbus and of every intellizent Cath olic in this coutnry when I say th: we deeply appreciate the spirit of tol- erance and good feeling which for the nrost part exists among our non olic brethren throughout the and breadth of the land. Bishop Mora, the early Spanish hob of Los An- geles, always alluded to his non- Catholic fellow-citizens as his ‘sep- arate brethren,’ a.most charming ref- erence, which never failed to strike a responsive chord. “We are furthermore not unmindful of the fact that elsewhere in foreigr countries the religious line has been drawn sharp and hard, and very ofte it is the dead line of strife and bit- terness. If any of my Catholic fri are doubting the accuracy of my opin- ion in this matter, particularly if he comes from Europe or any other pa of the civilized world, let him go back there and compare the attitude of the atholic of that country with the t _which pervades the non-Cath- of the United States, and he will the value of the conclusion I have arrived.” the bounden THE YEAR THAT HAD NO SUMMER | ©2 and Snow Falls Characterized Sum- mer Months One Hundred Years Ago.

FORMER NORWICH PRINTER FIFTY YEARS AT CASE Alvin C. Bentley, Now in Waterbury, Decides to Doff the Apron. Alvin C. Bentley, printer for over fifty years, who is about to hang up his inky apron, for the last time and spend the rest of his life free from work, was presented with a handsome meerschaum pipe in token of his com- ing retirement by his fellow employes at the Hemiway Press chapel, savs Friday’s Waterbury R#publican. Leroy Bowles, chairman of the chap- el made the presentation speech which he said: “It 1s with regret we learn of your intention to quit the printing business. You say the time limt has come for you. May Father Time deal as leni- ently in the future as he has in the past. Please accept tnts plpe as a token of our deep regard for you. ‘When you draw on the nicotine in! 4 | your reveries, may the soothing effects of a good smoke recall the many bleasant days we have spent together as_shopmates.” Mr. Bentley was taken completely by surprise and was able only to mumble a few words of thanks. Though over seventy years of age, ha is hale and hearty and still able to do a good day's work. He is one of the oldest printers in Waterbury or in the state. Like the majority of printers, Mr. Hentiey was considerble of a wan- derer in his younger days, and he has traveled very nearly all over the country. He has been in the west and south in all the larger citles of Massa._ chusetts and Connecticur, and at last wandered to Waterbury where he has lived for a number of year He is extremely popular with the men of his trade, and they will learn of his pro- posed retirement with resret. Mr. Benfley is remembered by the older Norwich printers for he worked at the newspaper case in this city in veurs gone by until his wanderlust caused him to move on to fresh fields and pastures new.
