American Cardinals.

As to the question of the new American
cardinal. it is quite certain that there
will be no red hat for the United States
for some time. The intention Of the holy
father is to create only cardinals who
will be near him. He thinks that the men
composing his cabinet ought to be within
easy call. Your President would not
like to have his cabinet members in Eu-
rope" he Is said to have remarked. II
must have my cabinet about me; these
are my consultors."
If Cardinal Gibbons should be called
to Rome permanently as a member OF
the cabinet, Archbishop Ireland would
probably be created cardinal. simply be-
cause he has impressed the holy father
as a great personality and stands In age
and service very high. Besides, one must
remember that q cardinals creation Is not
the creation of an ecclesiastic. 1t has a
political significance.

keen rivalry is developing among the diff

as to which shall have the largest per-
centage of actual delegates in attendance
at the convention.
The number Of delegates to which each
denomination Is entitled IS determined by
the total membership in the several Wash
ington churches Of that denomination.
The friendly rivalry now being evidenced
by UNCONVENTIONAL rallies Is to stimulate
such interest that the number of actual
delegates in any denomination shall as
nearly as possible equal the number Of
delegates to which 1t is entitled. The APP
proximate number to which each denom-
nation in Washington is entitled is as

HE amazing growth Of mems
organizations in Protestant
churches has its counterpart in
the recent rapid rise of the
Holy Name Society of the
Roman Catholic Church. More impress
hive ocular demonstrations of interest and
might have been made by the latter than
by any other religious organization of
modern times. Even the monster Chris
tian Endeavor conventions, which at their
zenith gathered $1,000 delegates from
many lands into one city. pale beside
some public gatherings of this body, which
Is composed Of grown men. In the city of
Newark alone more than 5000 men
marched behind a big Holy Name banner
and American flag on q recent Sunday.
October Is the month most popular for
those great public displays of the So
ciety's strength and purpose. In all parts
OF the United States these parades were
held, especially on the second Sunday of
the month. Reports of these demonstra-
tons have found their way into news
papers. but the significance of the growth
OF the Holy Name Society as a national
organization has been generally overlook
ed. In a single CharleStown, Mass, parish
200 men recently paraded. In Brooklyn
more than $4,000 men were in line for the
last parade. while Jersey City sent 2O.OOO
for local demonstration. Last spring
1000 Philadelphia Catholic laymen
marched as Holy Name members.
The growth OF the society is on the
snowfall order, within the past five years
641 new organizations have been erected,
and. with fuller supervision and a ma
tional organ, this now looks like only a
beginning.
Stopping Profanity.
-Four laborers were engaged in a diff
fcult JOB of erecting four huge poles A
bystander remarked that despite minor
accidents and annoyances, not u single
word of profanity had been uttered. He
was puzzled TO explain this, until his
attention was directed to the fact that
the men were Catholics. and members OF
the Holy Name Society, who had pledg-
ed themselves Ito abstain from cursing,
swearing and all blasphemous and i'm
modest language, and to labor earnestly
90 prevent the use of sucn language by
pthers."
This is the explanation of the extra
ordinary dImlnution which many per-
sons have noticed in the use of profanity.
The laborfnG men. who have often been
most addicted to this thoughtless habit,
have gone into this new society in such
great numbers that In many places they
leaven the whole industrial community.
This accounts in good part for the les
sened amount OF cursing and swearing
generally used.

NEW RECORD Is SET;
ANOTHER IS TIED
Islanders Win More Games Than Any
Other Three-Eye Team and
Reach Percentage of .G52.

The Islanders established Il new
record and tied an old one when they
wen the last game of the season yes
terday afternoon. incidentally Jack
Tighe's ambition to win go ball
sets new record in the Three-Eye
league, as no team in its history has
ever before won 80 ball games during
the playing season. The winning OF
this large number of games gave the
Islanders a percentage of 652, which
ties the mark they set themselves in
1907. At that time they won IS
games, but they did not play quite
as many games as they did this year.
