Abstract

It Seems to Heywood Broun
Broun, Heywood | October 2, 1929 issue

add to cart   close window

The author is concerned about the destructive coalition which has been made between the old New England stock and the Irish-Catholic infusion. Whenever Boston, Massachusetts, bars a book it is customary for cartoonists to picture a Puritan in a tall hat burning witches. The author's point is that the onus for Boston's backwardness cannot justly be placed at the Puritan doorsill. There has been much wailing about the diminution of native stock in Massachusetts. Boston is the most predominatingly Catholic city in the United States, but though the Irish have made a complete political conquest of the Minute Men they have lost the savor of their own faith in the victory.
