over the United States, and which
was hailed by many as a means of
overcoming by law one Of the weak
nesses Of human nature.
Cardinal Gibbons is most DEM
ocratic in his tastes. AS he walks
about the streets of Baltimore, recog-
nizable only by his cardinal tie or
cardinal hose he returns the saIuta-
tion Of the street sweeper and the
corner peddler in the same cordial
spirit with which he acknowledges
the greeting Of the mayor or the
millionaire. He will halt in his walk
either in the streets Of Baltimore OF
in the streets of New Orleans, which
city he visits annually on a visit tc
his only brother, to shake the hand
Of an unkempt urchin Of the street
with the same grace that be would
stop to shake the hand Of President
Taft should he meet him upon
street in Washington.
These manifestations of a democra.
tic spirit in a prince Of the church
are very pleasing to democratic
America, both Catholic and non.
Catholic. In disputes between labor
and capital in the city Of Baltimore
which has, by the way, been singularly
free from serious labor disturbances
Cardinal Gibbons is frequently called
in as an arbitrator. His extreme
conservatism makes him acceptable
to the employers Of labor, while his
character commends him to the mer
who toll with their hands.

HORSES AT SHREVE
PORT FAIR.

Shreveport, Oct. 26.-Secretary
Brueggerhof of the State Fair Asso-
citation, returned yesterday from a
business trip to the Dallas Fair, where
he succeeded in lining up the largest
string Of running horses that ever
faced the barrier at the State Fair
track.
The Secretary reported yesterday
that all arrangements have been made
to bring the horses and Kline shows
to Shreveport Immediately after the
close of the Dallas Fair and all will
be in Shreveport when the State Fair
opens on Monday, November 1.
The Missouri, Kansas and Texas
will run two special trains ont of
Dallas to Shreveport. One will bring
sixteen Kline shows, the six free acts,
and other amusement features, while
the other section will carry the race
horses and live stock coming from
Dallas to Shreveport.
The State Fair force is working
night and day getting the entries re-
corded and compiled into proper form
for the judges and superintendent of
the various departments. The rec
ords show that there are twice as
many entries for the various depart
ments this year as there were last.
Entries came in yesterday for over
$50 additional chickens and seventy
FIVE hogs, these entries having been
mailed on October % when all en-
tries closed.
Everything is being rapidly placed
in shape at the Fair grounds and the
officials are confident that this years
exposition will be the greatest ever
held in Louisiana.

Of years standing has for some time
prevented his attendance upon occa-
sions purely social, where he might
be expected to remain long standing
or sitting in the presence Of crowds.
He seldom dimes out, and recently has
ceased absolutely to appear at public
banquets. But with the natural weak
ening of the bodily functions with
advancing years, the mental Yigor Of
the cardinal remains unimpaired; in
fact, seems to increase with the
steady advance of old age. IL the in
iuence Of personal contact has been
lessened by his practical retirement
from public functions Of purely sec
ular nature, his literary activity has
more than compensated for the loss.
As busy as must be the life Of one in
his position, the American cardinal
finds time to contribute literally to
the magazines, to write occasionally
for the daily newspapers, and to yig-
orously take up the challenge when
ever it is laid down by the advocates
Of agitation against the increasing
activity OF the Catholic church in ma
tional politics in his country.
There are two topics at least upon
which Cardinal Gibbonsi is usually will
ing to express his views with great
freedom. These topics are the divorce
evil in the United States and the fu-
tility Of attempts to promote temper
ance by the enactment Of laws pro-
hibiting the sale of intoxicating liq-
uors. Upon the question Of divorce
and its prevention, the cardinals
views are in direct conflict with those
Of many American publicists and with
those Of at least two members of the
United States Supreme Court. The
cardinal believes there should be no
laws granting divorce. These two
Supreme Court justices believe that
the present laws governing divorce
should not only be made uniform in
all the States of the American Union,
but that the divorce Of those unevenly
yoked should, by law, be made easier
rather than harder. Cardinal Gibbons
would exclude even infdelity as q
ground for q divorce action. At least
one member Of the United States Su-
preme Court is in favor Of a divorce
law by which a decree of absolute
divorce could be granted for deser-
ton, cruelty, failure to support or
from a convicted feIon-in addition,
OF course, to the cause now regarded
as sufficient in all the States of the
Union, the breach of the marital vow.
FOR TOTAL ABSTINENCE.
Cardinal Gibbons is a powerful and
strong advocate Of total abstinence.
He recognizes in the prevalence Of
the thirst for drink one Of the most
prolific causes of human misery. But
unlike most clergyman and most
priests he is opposed to the legal
prohibition Of the sale Of liquor and
on the ground that its prohibition by
law has not served and does not
serve to lesson the drink evil. As q
substitute for the prohibition Of the
liquor trade by law be would have
the State impose a heavy license
upon the traffic, and thus close out
the dives and cheap gin mills, while
legalizing the business and keeping
it as decent as possible. The repeat
ed expression of his views on the
subject of intemperance has done
much to check the wave Of legal pro-
hibition which has been sweeping

New York, Oct. 25.-That much
worn phrase, democratic simplicity"
fits no living product of American
soil 90 completely as it does Cardinal
Gibbons, the head Of the Roman Cath
olic Church in the United States. It
iii not the fact that be is a member
OF the College Of Cardinals and a
prince Of the church that alone ac-
counts for the exalted position the
eminent Baltimorean occupies in the
affections of the American people
without regard to their religious aft
Gians-it is the simplicity of his
character, the modesty of his de-
memoir, his ~tactfulness and unfailing
amiabiIity which explains his tremen-
dous popularity. In the city of Balti-
more, which is the home Of Cardinal
Gibbons, ho is as much beloved by
Protestants as by Catholics. Among
his closest friends and warmest adj
mirers are the leading Jews of that
city. At the year-end reception held
by him all the leading rabbis of the
city, as well as the best known Prot
estant clergymeu may be found ming
ling socially with the highest digni-
taries OF the Catholic Church in Am
erica.
Et is now a trite observation almost,
pet q truthful one, that his elevation
TO the cardinalate has done more than
anything else that can now be re-
called to reconcile non-Catholic Am
orleans to the idea-once most re-
pugnaut-Of q future President Of
che United States who is of the Cath
olic faith. 1t is doubtful whether the
slime has yet arrived or will arrive
within the scope of this generation
when either Of the two leading poll
ticel parties will consider it wise OF
-expedient to select an adherent of
she Catholic Church for the presiden-
tiai, nomination. Hitherto no Roman
CathOlic has ever been put in nomi-
natF6n fer that high Office. and it
may be years before such an event
will occur. But if the time should
come, as no doubt it eventually viii,

Of a large section of the American
voting public toward the Church of
