DIsGRACED HIS COLLEGE.

One of our college professors-and Catholic
professor to boot-did very improper thing when
he wrote an admonition to a sheriff upon postal
card This is regarded as violation of the federal
statute and for his act of thoughtlessness through
ignorance of the law the professor is held to ap-
pear before the federal grand jury at Indianapolis
next month.
The motive which actuated this college profes
sor is dissimlar to the motive of another CORE.
spondent, yet the object was the same. Both were
protests against the infection Of capital punish
ment upon Mrs. Mary Rodgers now awaiting tie
death penalty for the crime of murder III Vermont
Her husband was the victim, and according to the
evidence it was a most atrocious butchery. The
first correspondent is native of Vermont, closely
connected with the notables about Washington.
Just now we cannot recall the name, but think ne
is a relative of Admiral Dewey. He wrote to the
governor, but the letter was properly sealed, and
Its appearance In print created VIDE comment
Briefly it recited that no woman was ever hanged
IN Vermont, and it would be foul blot on the talr
fame OF the state if that precedent were interrupt
ed SO foul that Vermonter could hold up his head
for shame of it. In the event OF the prisoners
death by the rope the correspondent SAID he would
dispose of his property in the state and Danish Its
name from his mind forever. The governor paid
attention to the correspondent, but later Oh
postponed the date of execution.
1t may be the publicity of this letter and the
interest it evoked that prompted the college pro-
fessor to similar action. His pity, however, did
not seem to be moved by the sex of the prisoner
or the pride of state nativity SO much as the lear
that the sheriff will commit murder by hanging the
1t is the sheriff he pities, and the sheriff
family. He wrote on the postal card to that ndi-
vidual: Before butchering Mrs. Mary Rogers care
fully consider the command of the highest power
in the universe Thou shalt not kill Do not dis
grace yourself and family by committing murder
even though ii be legal and made SO By men IN de-
fiance of the above command"
This is what got the college professor INTO trou-
bic, His language is not of the kind usually inter-
preted obscene or threatening by the postal au-
thorities, It is simply the indiseretlon OF
thleopghtlesS man who did not perceive the end OF
his folly. He was certainly not professor of the
The Intermountain Catholic. (Salt Lake City [Utah] ;) 1899-1920, 1905-10-21

ology, for no sane churchman would utter what he
wrote on the postal card. If he occupied any po-
sition among the faculty it certainly must be one
at the bottom
The right or the wrong of capital punishment
IS no part Of Catholic creed 1t is a thing
which belongs to the emotions and the conscience
of the individual Thus we see that men drawn
Tor jury duty III murder cases are excused if they
put in answer that conscientious scrupes regarding
the death penalty would prevent return by them
OF a verdict of guilty. There may be division of
opinion among the Catholic hierarchy, but indi-
vidual opinion is never uttered to influence the
ia1ty one way or the other upon a matter which
belongs to the courts exclusively Cardinal Glib
bons, we think believes in the death penalty for
the crime of murder. A late article in the North
American Review would lead to that assumption
While deploring lynch law, he pointed out that
"one OF the causes of hasty and violent executions
without the forms of the law is the needless and
often irritating delay in bringing notorious Grim
nal to the bar of justice and the infection of pun
lshment inadequate to the enormiy of the ofense."
That certainly sounds like belief in the infection
OF capital punishment
No Catholic college is teaching course Of
ethics in opposition to capital punishment There
fore this professor did a most reprohensble act in
bringing his college into public notice in the man
her he has. If he is not punished by federal
court his stupidity warrants his dismissal from
the college he disgraced.

THE GREATEST ACTOR DEAD.

Sir Henry Irving died IN Bradford, England.
last Friday week, shortly after the performance Of
Tennyson's "Beclet," in which he took the charac-
ter of Thomas a. Beckett. His last words on the
stage were:
Through night to light. Into Thy hands, D
God, into Thy hands,
The curtain went down leaving Sir Henry at the
foot of the altar after uttering the words He was
slow in rising and an attendant went to his assist
ance and found him cold. He did not reply to
question as to whether there anything the mat
ter, but rose and went to his dressing ROOM On
being assisted from the cab outside his hotel Sir
Henry faltered as if exhausted and it was noticed
that he leaned heavily on the OF his attendant.
On reaching the hall of the hotel he said: Give me
a chair" These were the last words he uttered.
The chair was provided, but as his condition be-
came worse he removed to E&couch and physl-
clans summoned. He died before the arrival of the
doctors without a murrnur or any other indication
of pain
Sir Henry Irving died a disappointed, broken
hearted man. His last days-eyen his last hours
were tinged with the bitterness of personal hui
initiation He had lost his fortune, had seen the
Ivceum theatre where he had achieved his greatest
fame and where he had produced his sublmest
tragedies, turned into seeond-rate music nall
while he himself was driven from theatre to theatre
taking his chances for favorable dates IN the prov
inces as any ordinary actor.
1t is now known that Irving lost vast sums dur
ing recent years in the elaborate but unsuccessful!
production of "Faust," 'Corioanus" "Robespierre
and Dante" and it was the run of bad luck Whlch
these plays encountered that caused the Lyceum
management to slip from his control two years ago,
compelling him to seek the hospitality Of strange
theatres.
Neither his spirit nor his health survived this
humiliation. His differences with Ellen Terry ag-
gravated the old actors troubles about the same
r., -ba cta IN
count. They never were friends afterwards. Never
theless Ellen Terry was greatly distressed at the
news. She said:
Il know all this has happened as he wished. He
worked to the last in full possession of his facul
ties 1t rejoices me that he finished his evenings
work"
Sir Henry Irving will be buried in Westminster
abbey in the poets corner where lie the bodies of
Garrick, Mrs. Siddons and other theatrical ceebri
ties

The Reformed Church Messenger goes out Of
It's way to show that character is than lnowl-
edge. Says our non-Catholic contemporary
"What a splendid work this universal education of
our youth isl On it depends the right of the
privileges of a free country. But it must always
be borne in mind that the kind of education our
times and for that matter, all times, demand is
not mere intellectual training There is something
more important than that. 1t is morality Character
is more than knowledge Education, with unsound
morals, is greater danger than ignorance with
good character. Ignorance fosters vice and crime.
But education alone will not save us if by educa-
ton we mean mere book knowledge. But educa-
ton backed by character will go great way in de-
stroyng evil and fostering all the virtues which go
to make good people"

The English-speaking world has suffered an IT.
reparable loss in the passing of Sir Henry Irving
The stage is without an understudy to take his
place. The Romeos are gone, and the Juliets are
going, The past half century was like renais-
sance in the beginning, and would have been so to
the end if Irving and Booth and Forrest and Bar
rett had swallowed the draught of perpetual
youth. Nobody who loved the drama for its beauty
and character would leave these Romans of the
stage to chase the butterflies of the footghts,
and as by one these great lamps were extin-
guished we began to realize the total darkness
ahead. So with the poets of the past half century
who await the final resurrection. In vain do we
look for originality strength in the of the
present. We have neither actors nor poets today;
only rhymers who play with words like the ticking
of clock.

the year, despite assurances from the chairman
that it would. The belief that the investigation
must be prolonged is based on a number of consid-

understood, are the farreaching Importance of the
investigation, the newly realized depth and COM

Investigations scope to certain fraternal societies.
