The Dawn of a New Era.

When Columbus discovered America
Savonarola was preaching in Florence
and the renaissance was making new
sunrise over Europe. Martin Luther
was little tad learning the German
alphabet. It was the end Of the cen
fury in which John Huss had started
the reformation, Joan of Arc had be-
gun the naturalization Of France, and
printing had been invented. America
chose the best possible time to get
herself put on the map and also select
ed the best possible man to do it. At
any rate, that is more comfortable
view than the one held by the icono-
clasts and pesstm1sts.
By all means let us have Columbus
day. Looked at from every standpoint,
he is worthy the honor. Besides, with
the finding of the north pole the age
Of discovery is about over and we
should hold the chief event of it in
perpetual remembrance.
The king Of Spain repudiated Colum-
bus. and now the new world has re-
pudiated Spain. She has not a shred
of land left in the western hemisphere,
where once she had practically all Of
one continent and nearly half Of the
other. This territory Columbus gave
to her in return for chains. Fate has.
evened the measure, after habit Of
hers. Spain is stripped bare and Co.
lumbus is honored among the bene-
factors of mankind
The Knights Of Columbus.
The history of the establishment of
Columbus day is briefly as follows:
For many years the Knights of Column
bus and the Italian societies have cele-
brated what was at first called dis
covery day on the 18th of October.
In the city of New York yearly meet
ing has been held in Carnegie hall in
celebration Of the event, addressed by
some speaker of national prominence.
This year Governor Hughes will be
the speaker. The governors connec-
ton with the day has been somewhat
peculiar. The first bill passed by the
New York legislature making Oct. II
legal holiday he vetoed, alleging GER
tain defects. Such a protest went up
that he promised to sign a bin cor
recting these defects If passed by the
next legislature, promise that he
kept in affixing his signature to the
law enacted this year
In addition to the Carnegie hall
meeting, a great banquet win be held
in the Hotel Astor on the night of
Oct. IL at which there will be 1000 in
vfted guests. Elaborate ceremonies
will also be held in Connecticut, where
the knights Of Columbus have their
national headquarters; in New Jersey
and elsewhere throughout the country
DR.. ]. G. Coyle Of New York, who is
said to know more about Columbus
day than any other New Yorker, as
sured me that he believed this holt
day would grow in popularity more
rapidly than did Labor day. In addi-
ton to the states that have already
adopted 1t, he stated that a half dozen
more are on the eve of doing so, among
which he mentioned Ohio, North and
South Dakota and Louisiana. The
first official recognition of the day. ac-
cording to DR.. Coyle, came from Colo
RADIO when Governor Alva Adams
called for its observance In procla-
nation. This was followed three
years ago by Mayor Dunno Of Chicago.
Now the observance Of the holiday is
swiftly spreading throughout the land.
There are nearly 34s,ooo persons en-
