American Idealism.

ing to impressions received in Ameri-
ca by foreign travellers that the Ameri-
can in his deepest nature is realist
who strives for power and wealth and
outer, comfort: that the object of his
life is 70 pile up the mighty dollar
People who speak thus seem to me
blind to everything which lies below
the surface. They seem TO have studied
the mills and factories OF the indus
trial centres and to have neglected
to read or understand the character
Of the American man or woman,
Since my first arrival in America
have held that the real spirit is ideal
istic and that the average Individual
American IS controlled by idealistic i'm
pulses, Those who may contradict me
cannot have sounded the depths OF the
philosophy of Ralph Waldo Emerson
or studied the life and read the
speeches OF Abraham Lincoln and con-
sidered their far-reaching effect on the
American people.

can be more striking than the Way in
which he combined reality and the

Teal capacity TO achieve that ideal by

ARCHBISHOP FARLEY.
Has Become Possessor of Every
Title Save That of Cardinal.

John Murphy Farley is tho good old
Irish name of n New Yorker who has
since become Monsignor and an Arch
bishop. He is sixtyive years old now
and Is at tho head of the most important
diocese in the world-the archdiocese of
New York. wherein there are over one
million Catholics including the children
under Catholic care. TIlirty-siX years ago
Archbishop Farley was ordained as priest
in Rome Since then his. rise In The
Papal favor has been SO marked as to
cause n certain whisper to go around
among New Workers. Mgr. Farley Is to
get the red haiti He is, with the excep-
ton of Archbishop Ireland, the one most
likely to become the second of American
cardinals.
Some weeks ago Cardinal satolli. former
Apostolic delegate to the United States,
made the positive statement that Arch
bishop Farley was soon destined to re-
ceve higher honors at the hands Of the
Pope. He has already been made assis-
tant to the pontificial throne, which Of
flee. it is said gives him precedence over
all other archbishops not n"es.cd with
tho same dignity.
AT one time Archbishop Farley was as
sistant rector of the little church OF St
Peters, on station Island Then he became
secretary to Archbishop McCloskey for a
period of twelve years. With Leo XIII he
was a considerable favorite and under the
right of that kindly old Pontiff he be-
cana his favorite chamberlain, with title
of Monsignore, vicar-general Of the arch
diocese of New York. domestic prelate OF
Leo, parliamentary apostolic, auxiliary
bishop of New York. utular bishop Of
Zengma, and-on the death of Archbishop
Corrigan In May of 1902. he was first ap-
pointed administrator Of New York: then
later In the year tho fourth Archbishop
of New York.
He is to-day a kindly old man, dignitled
and courteous, great friend of the news
paper reporters and loyal New Yorker.
His East Side following is made up of
huge numbers of Italians and nnumerahla
italian Catholic churches. He has never
done much public griting. though once he
answered some "ungenerous and unjust
remarks of Bishop Potter In the Catholic
World II he receives the red hat, the
incident will no doubt occur some time
