Denied Hospitality for Practicing
Strenuocity.

President Roosevelt entertained Prince
Henry at dinner at the White House on Mon
day evening. Among the invited guests were
the chairmen of Naval Committees of the
Senate and House and the ranking Democrats
on these committees. The ranking Democrat
on the Senate Committee is Senator Tilman,
of South Carolina, he who put head on Nc
Lauren the junior Senator from the same State
in the Senate last Saturday afternoon. For
this conduct, and because Tillman and Nc
Lauren were adjudged in contempt by the
Senate, the President got Senator Cockrell,
of Missouri, to suggest to Senator Tillman to
decline the invitation to dine with the Prince.
Senator Tillman declined to decline, where
upon President Roosevelt wrote note to
Senator Tillman cancelling the invitation,
saying his presence would be, under the cir
cumstances, discourtesy to the Senate and
an affront to Prince Henry
This of course would have been awful.
But the President is to blame to some extent
for Tillman's exhibition of manliness in re-
resenting an insult. 1t was in exact accor-
dance with the Presidents stump speeches
all over the country. His theme everywhere
was strenuocity, manliness, courage. Be
brave, fearless, strenuous, was his teaching,
and had foreigner heard him and not known
he was vice presidential candidate he might
have imagined him lecturer in the interest
of prize fighting, or boxing contests, as they
are more politely termed by lovers of the
bruising art. In raising knot on McLauren's
head with his fist Tillman was only putting in
practice Roosevelt's teaching. He could not
be brave, and manly and courageous, and sit
in Senatorial dignity and silence when de-
nounced as liar. The Senate is not exactly
the place for fsticuffs, but what else could
Tillman do when highly insulted To have
borne the insult compacently would have
been to forfeit the esteem of the strenuous
President, and no Senator, looking for pa
tronage, could afford to do that And what
would be the judgment of the believers in the
strenuous life, as taught by Roosevelt, had
Tilman not attacked McLauren? 1t is true
he could have waited until after the Senate
adjourned and shot McLauren in the back,
as two Spanish soldiers were shot as they
were running away at San Juan Hill by
distinguished United States volunteer officer,
but very many people would not have thought
that fair and honorable.
President Roosevelt, in requesting Senator
absence at the dinner to Prince
Henry, because of the strenuous action of
the Senator, has denied his own teaching, and
hereafter, should he again go on the stump
and advocate the strenuous life and hold up
10 the youth of the country bravery, courage
and manliness, his words will fall upon deaf
,ars. In recalling the invitation to Senator

A Sample Of High School Manners

MEssRs. EDITORS To-day, as Father Cassidy and
| were passing by the Westminster (Central) High
School we were greeted by "A girls voice issuing
from among crowd of pupils at noon recess, with
the derisive cry, uttered with mocking information
Hello, Father! Hello. Father! am coming to
Confession and repeated, with added emphasis,
either by the speaker some other girl. The voice
was that of a girl apparently fourteen or fifteen
years ofage.
And this from school whose pupils are presum-
ably taught manners, and receive their education
free-at the public expense. The Catholic people
Of this town contribute their share of the cost i'll
educating these specimens of the civilized (or I'M
civilizedl society of Westminster-in learning and
manners.
Is this sample of the manners taught children
approaching womanhood at the high school? 1t
would, perhaps, hardly be fair so to interpret the
incident
On the other hand good manners may rightly be
looked for from children even at school toward the
meanest tramp, and if not good manners, then at
least some sense of gratitude for the free education
they are receiving, to those who from their own
pocket help to educate the girls of this town. though
in this instance there is very little, If any, evidence
of education To the credit of the boys it must be
said, that no such piece as the aforementioned bit
of ibreeding be- in this laid at their door
