Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1896-12-29

Our Catholic friends carried out q
very pleasant surprise upon Rev. FIR.
p. Garrahan last Wednesday evening,
in honor of the twenty-fifth anniver-
sary of his ordination as a priest of
that church. Early in the evening the
DEBORAH City Band went to his home
and serenaded him, after which pro-
gram was rendered in his honor at the
Immaculate Conception Academy,
which had been prepared by the Sisters
and students of this school. He was
presented with some beautiful silver
ware, and the occasion was thoroughly
enjoyed by all concerned. Rev. FIR.
Garrahan has, with the exception of
four years, served the people of Decor
alb and Bluffton i'll the capacity OF
priest for quarter century, and this
surprise was but token of the esteem
in which he is held by the members OF
his church, which esteem is also parti.
cipated in by his many friends in this
county outside of the Catholic church.

HoNoRs TO CLARA BARTON.

There are victories greater than those Of
war and it is one of these that has been
achieved by Miss Clara Barton. whom Wash
ington has the honor to count as one OF
its most eminent residents. The president
of the Red Cross has just completed her
labor of love and seli-sacrifioe OF carrying
relief TO the wretched ArrIenians, the vic
Tins of Turkish cruelty. The task was
inyolved in difficulties almost Uncomfortable
at this distance, for Miss Barton had To
reckon with Moslem fanaticisni, hatred of
the Christian, stupidity, prejudice, igno-
rance and cupidity, aud TO less with the
anxiety of the Turkish government to con
ceal as far as possible from the eyes of
an Intelligent observer the full extent of
the slaughter and rapine it had permitted
10 be wrought upon tens of thousands OF
its Christian subjects. She knew also that
she not only would have to face these OBJ
stacles but that she was taking her very
life in her hands in going among mob OF
bigots who are only too ready with dagger
and sword.
All these things, however, counted as
nothing against the cry of suffering hui
inanity that came to her from that far
eastern land She thought not of herself,
she rocked not peril OF life or sufferirgs
of body and mind: she thought only Of the
thousands of widows and orphans who were.
hungry and naked and without shelter and
surrounded by hostile population, and
She and her companions went to bring them
solace and comfort and make their lot
little more bearable. So well did she sue
coed and so discreetly did she labor that
even those who had looked upon her com
ing with angry eyes became her admirers
and friends, and she left tie Turkish domin-
ions not only with the blessings of those
whom she had succored. but the commenda-
lions of the Turkish authorities who htrl
had the opportunity to observe her single
ness and dsintercstedness of purpose.
1t is eminently fit that proper lonors
should be paid Miss Barton upon her re-
turn. and her reception in Washington
should be no less distinguished than those
which await her in several of the capitals
of Europe and in New York.

LABOR DAY.

Labor Daysas a rational holiday Is a
high and Just recognition OF the oldest
aud most honorable of oallings "A calling
which is at the foundation OF every industry
and of our national progress
These words, addressed to an assem-
blage OF workiDgmen by one OF the PresI-
Dental candidates a day or two ago, epit-
omize the true significance of a day which
In the language of the same speaker gives
them "a place in the permanent statutes
of the United States. =" Lator is indeed the
Oldest and most honorable calling, although
unfor tune tely in many countries those who
earn their bread by the sweat oftheir brows
are looked down upon as unimportant fac
tors in the social equation. AS matter
of fact, the workingman is one of the fore
most figures in the material progress Of
any people and country. By the status and
condition of the workinsman the social
structure of any state can be more accl-
ratel determined than by any ether meas
ure. AS the workingman is intelligent, in
just that proportion will the whole Iopula-
ton rate in intelligence; as he prcspers
whom he is part.
In no country has labor attained that
dignity which it has in the United States.
for under our free institutions the work
ing man is rot chained forever to the one
calling. He may labor with pick and

master of the mine or the workshop, and
yet another win see him in the councils Of
the nation engaged in making laws for the
welfare Of his fellows He is barred from
no place of profit or honor The whole
history of the United States is an aim ost
uninterrupted succession OF instances OF
workingmen rising to the highest honors.
In the Presidential office, in Congress, in
every branch of the government, in the
great Commercial and industrial enter
prises of the country the wOrkingman has
left his marx, and to his credit 1t can IL
said that, with but rare exceptions, he
has always been true to every trust re-
posed in MN.
Nott:ag can be more mischievous than
sny attempt 10 set aside labor on one side
and ca.isGl ON the other; to array the one
against the ether. 1t Is not only mischiev.
Gus, but foolish as well, for the laborer OF
this year may be- the capitalist of the next,
and, on the other hand. through misfortune
or bad management the ca pitalist of today
may be compelled tomorrow to earn his
living by the labor of lis hands. Labor,
therefore, is Jignified not only by what it
is, but by the possibilities IL has within is
grasp. For both these reasons it is the
bone and sinew of the social anatomy. and
because OF this fact 1t was meet and proper
that Congress should have accorded it recoS
milton in the legal enactment OF Labor Day.

thing needed to place the terminal facilities

plane commensurate with the Importance
of the city. Inone way or another obstacles
