TIE CODE OF HONOR.

Time of Richclieu.


The passion FOR duel!ng, which had
cost France, 1t was said, between
1000 and s.Goo lives during the twenty
years OF Henry Tvs reign, was at its
height when his son came to the
throne. The council Of Trent In 1915
Ind solemnly condemned the practice
OF single combat, impartially includ.
ing principals, seconds and spectators
IN its penalty Of accommodation. In
1902 an edict OF Henry pronounced the
"dhmnable custom Of due,ing intro.
duced by the corruption OF the cen.
tury" to ba the cause Of so many pite
GUS accidents, TO the extreme regret
and displeasure OF the king and to the
irrepGrable damage of ihc suite, "that
we should count ourselves unworthy
10 hold the scepter if we delayed TO
repress the enormity OF this crime"
= whole series OF edicta followed to
tie same effect, but ii was easier to
make elicts Than to enforce them.
Degradation. imprisonment, confsca-
tion of. property, loss OF civil rights
and death were the penalties attached
TO the infringement OF the laws against
duel1ng, anu still the practice pre-
vailed. III 1926 Richelleu published &

Is Amencsn Patriotism Dead /?

The patriotism which once fired the
hearts of our forefathers, which spurred
them on to noble, daring deeds, is now
a smoldering fire. We no longer see
that real, true, inspiring, wholesouled
patriotism which characterized the
men who fought and died to make the
country what it is to-day. 1t seems
that true patriotism died with them,
and although day has been set apart
to honor the memory OF the men who
struggled so bravely from 1861 to 1865,
how many pass the day without a
thought of its real purpose ? How few
pay tribute to those heroes whom every
American should respect, honor and
love ? How is our Decoration Day
spent !? With drunkenness, gayety
and sports. Saloons doing a rushing
business and young boys reeling on our
streets. All, shame ! Is it any wonder
that an old veteran with tear-filled eyes
and trembling voice should say /: IT
hope and pray that our President will
order that Decoration Day be observed
no more, for then the spirits OF the dead
could rest more peacefully in their
graves" Fellow-countrymen, it's high
time we were doing something.

ORDINATION ANNIVERSARY.
Father T. Brady Given Reception and
Valuable Presents.

Mention was made in The STAR last
week that Tuesday, May 29th, was the
twenty-tifth anniversary of Father
Terrence Brady's ordination into the
priesthood, but on account of going to
press early Tuesday evening to give
the Office force vacation Decoration
Day, we were unable to give any
particulars of the reception given to
Father Brady Tuesday evening
The reception was held in the
parochial school hall, there was large
crowd present and it proved to be a
very pleasant and profitable reception
for Father Brady and an exceedingly
enjoyable occasion for all those who
were present. P. A. Hardman presided
and introduced the speakers and proved
himself a capable man for that position.
Lawyer Clement W, Flynn, in his
smooth and eloquent way, in behalf of
Father Brady's friends, presented him
with S32500 in cash, gold headed cane
and morris chair. The chair was the
gift of the school children. Father
Brady responded to the presentation
address, He was greatly surprised at
the large sum of money presented to
him, especially at this time when the
miners have been on strike eight or
nine weeks. He appreciates the
presents because it is an evidence to
him that he has large number of warm
friends in this place.
Interesting and excellent addresses
were made by Father McGivney, of
Dubois, Father John Kearns, of Green
vile, former Reynoldsville boy,
Father Joseph Zubrzcki, of Adrian, and
Father Lynch, of Reynoldsville. Mem
bers Of :he l.. G. B. A. served refresh
ments.
Father Brady was born in the north
of Ireland. Early in life he came to
America. He graduated in St. Bona
venture College, Allegany, N. Y. He
spent one year in New Bethlehem after
being ordained and served the Reyn-
oldsville Catholic church during that
year, and twenty-four years ago was
sent as resident pastor of the church in
this place. On account of his long
residence here he is known to a large
circle of people and is greatly beloved
by his Pensioners.
The above picture OF Father Brady
was taken several years ago, when he
was heavier than he is now, but it is
the last picture he had taken. The
appearance of the picture will be
surprise to him, as the, photo was OBJ
tanned without his knowledge or consent.
