under any other Pope. and it is generally
recognized that the church now takes a
much higher position. 1t Is looked up to

of the church is. largely due TO his wise
councils and encyclicals Through his wise

/ had seen him before and knew him. Since
that time, however, his activities have been
far-reaching that they have challenged
the admira ton of the world. He has been
a great man and a holy man. His writings
have done great good for society in general
in the dissemination of advice and truth,
and thinkers, irrespective of creed, have
shown their appreciation of his teachings.
While the singular purity and modesty OF
his life have won for him great admiration,
his most lasting monument Will be the
work he has done for the ameliOration OF
mankind, the aid of the laboring classes

chuch he has been a great Pontif. Our deal

The Handicap of Lack of Education.

Many men of wonderful natural endow-
ments dwarfed and hampered in their
life-work because Of their lack Of educa-
ton. How often do we see bright minds In
responsible positions. serving on boards OF
directors as trustees of great business
houses or banking institutions. men who
control the affairs of great railroads and
manufactures, who have good judgment
and great natural ability, but who are so
stunted and cramped by their lack of early
development that life does not yield them
one-tenth of what IL might had their INTEL
lectual and aesthetic possibilities been un-
folded in youth. In social life. public
platforms i'm debate, I'm the higher fields OF
the worlds work, enjoyment and progress
they are constantly bafied, embarrassed
and handicapped by the limitations OF ig-
norance.
Again. thousands of young men and young
women are working to-day In Inferior po-
sitions because of their lack OF mental cUl-
ture Conscious of dormant powers which
they cannot get control of. many OF them
fret and chafe under the restraints imposed
upon them by their own ignorance. They
are in the position of the Chinese and other
nonprogressive peoples, who have great
mineral, agricultural and other natural re-
sources, which. however, do not yield them
a hundredth part sof their value because
they do not know how 20 utilize them. In
the very midst of potential wealth and vast
possibilities those people live I'm poverty
and degradation, just as an uneducated
man or woman. who has never developed
his or her mental wealth, Is doomed to per-
petual ignorance and its consequences.

Terrors of the Tobacco Habit.

wealthy Indiana grocer, whose name IN

He is sure that he received the message,
and that IL warned him that the use of to-
bacco was not consistent with salvation.
Like prudent man. he resolved TO save his
soul and lose his tobacco When he got

that his manager had just put in" large
and expensive stock OF smokers goods.
The grocer ordered them destroyed. The
manager protested. The grocer was firm.
Burn them up. was his order. and burned
they were: and great was the smell thereof.
Here was an iron resolution and a fine dis
regard for profit. But Is tobacco so deadly
in its moral effects as the message from
California asserts? May IL not be In some

BUZZARDS BAY, Mass, July 20-When
informed of the death of Pope Leo this
afternoon, Grover Cleveland, who is at
Gray Gables, his summer home. said:
Although, of course, not unexpected, the
news of the death of this distinguished
man cannot fail to awaken regret in the
minds of all those who are sincerely So
licitous for the betterment of humanity.
L have regarded Pope Leo XIII as a most
important factor in the advancement of
civilization and of material Improvement.
Although at the head of a church to
whose interests he was constantly devoted,
he seemed never to forget that all mankind
is akin when manhood's development and
the promotion of universal brotherhood is
in the balance. Not only his church, but
the cause of humanity has lost strong

To the fiippant paragrapher and to that

people which looks upon the lieutenant gen.

we commend the ride from Fort sin to Fort
FL Reno-ninety miles in nine hours and ten
minuteS-or eight hours of actual riding.
How many men Of sixty-five. soldier or civ
ilian, could have ridden with General Miles?
Not many. IL is safe 10 say. and with the
admission let us have no more gibes at the
general commanding. with their unpleas-
ant inuendoes. He has given us a lesson
in finished horsemanship. in physical hardi-
hood preserved by clean living well into the
years when most of US prefer an easy chair
and a newspaper 10 a hard saddle and
dusty road.
After ALL it's only another modern fall
lacy gone by the board. Time was when
the man of arms delighted in his physical
beauty and his gorgeous panoply Of plumes
and flashing mail. Sydney and Essex and
Raleigh and Rupert did not disdain the
graces: yet they were good soldiers and
sailors withal- Why, then. with such splen-
di0 traditions, should the warrior OF our
day look askance upon the gallantries OF
and go sadly in khaki. even when the
high-powered rife in hostile hands is
searching them out from some remote
trench below the horizon?
General Miles is young; he has proved
il. He is sound, he is comedy. He is q hard
rider and a hard fighter They may retire
him in the full flush of his manhood, but
his star sets not in obscurity but in splen-
dor.

man who was foremost in all the events of
the world. His decision was felt alike in

province was not politics or diplomacy, but
his hand was visible in most of the prom

good. There has not been a character in
our day or In any day in the history of the

TO pass upon, and his judgment has always
been right"

CHICAGO, July 20.-Archbshop Quigley
said: at has been the life work of Leo
XIII to arouse the Catholic body in every
nation to enlightened organized effort

he has thrown the defense of God and His
church upon the enlightened democracy so
strongly represented in the Catholic Church
throughout the nations of the world.
Shall his pontificate be recorded in his
tory as the dawn of restoration of the
worldwide power of the papacy, as of old
built upon the Catholic faith and conscience
of the masses of the people? Will the
divine founder of the church grant ii a
