SPECIALIZING.

The game of baseball, which is just now again
is of the best examples of specializing which
can be found. The game is no doubt develop
ment of town ball. or round town. as the boys played
the game thirty years ago. In round town
there three batters, who, being put out, were
compelled to start in the field again, and work
around playing the three fielding positions the
three bases, shortstop, catcher. and finally become
batter again. In that game there we're usually a
great many made, and the game, while inter
esting, lacked that perfection which came when
players began to specialize in one position. Out
elders, nfelders pitchers and catchers were devel-
oped and they perfected themselves in the tricks
which they had to meet. As a result we have team
work today which could not be imagined in the old
round town game, and this specialization is one of
the really great developments of the game.
But it is not alone in baseball that speciaiza-
tion has shown its Importance. Mr.. Paul Morton
railroad man, secretary of the navy in the Roose-
welt cabinet and life insurance president, insists
that this is age of specification He says:
"At no stage in civilizations progress has the de-
mand for specialists to do the important work of
the world been so great In all the multifarious
are differentiated. Hence special skill is required
to achieve not only the highest results but also to
win the highest compensation"
1t is great deal due, no doubt. to the failure
to recognize the fact that the world needs men who
can do one thing better than anybody else that
there are so many failures and discontents in the
world. Young men starting out in life should
choose wisely and stick their choice until they
have reached the topmost rung in the ladder which
they have attempted to climb If they choose well
they will always have something to learn something
to demonstrate, and something to do which some one
else has done before, or never done it so
we'll
The way to be a specialist IS to learn, in early
life to do small things well. Having learned that
foundation secret of success the larger things
which come must be done well if only to please
ones conscience. Doing things well becomes
habit, and habit is a mighty factor in life There
are habits of punctuaty and loyalty and fidelity
and truthfuness without which failure is written
into young mans character mora surely than sue
cess is with such habits. These must become part

AS OTHERS SEE US.

We of America are much given to criticism of
our governmental policies, and of the activity of
the government in all lines. This is a condition
which might be cause for feeling of discourage
ment were it not that from that criticism has grown
up system which has the admiration of the world
No matter how much we may disagree with certain
activities, the fact remains that the United States
of America is ideal government for which GER
tain leaders in the political world of Europe have
begun an agitation the ultimate object being the
consolidation of the United States of Europe into
a federation, each state independent in local af
fairs, i'll the states of America yet each united
into an indissoluble union on lines approxmating
as closely as possible to the United States of Amer
lea. There assembled in Rome on Wednesday of
this week conference of eminent from every
European country, where the principal subject UNI
der discussion was the federation of the European
nations along American lines This assembly is the
outcome of pilgrimage of Sir Max Waechter a
German naturalized in Great Britain, through the
continental countries for the purpose of sounding
the opinion on the continent with regard to such
federation. Sir Max conceived the idea number
of years ago. and his great admiration of America
and American ideas and progress has caused him
to take up actively the work. He has watched the
growth of America, and has made careful compari-
son with the decay of the European nations He
has found that America has outstrpped the nations
of Europe in the struggle for commercial suprem-
acy and that the people of America enjoy far
larger proportion of the fruits of their toll than OBJ
tains in any nation of the world. His conclusions
are based the theory that the governmental sys-
TEN of Europe is not right; that the system in
America is the ideal to which Europeans should
turn their attention and to inaugurate which in
Europe should be the work of the leaders of the
political and economic thought in those nations.
In his words his conclusion is as follows:
Europe is gradually losing its position in the
world and this will in course of time be usurped by
other nations which rapidly coming to the front
unless we pull ourselves together and abandon the
vicious system now prevailing in Europe which
handicaps so seriously in the commercial strug-
gle for existence"
No one at all acquainted with the enormous cost
OF the military establishments of England Ger
many, France, Russia and the other powers of Eu-
rope which cost is a constant drain upon the peo-
pie, can doubt that the system, as Sir Max calls it.
is vicious" But whether the leaders of the politi-
cal life of the various nations will be satisfied, or
whether the people of the various nations would be
satisfied to abandon their national independence to
secure greater proportion of individual independ-

NOVEL WEDDING BANQUET.

Il he young ladies III training at the Holy Cross
hospital gave pretty and exclusive entertainment
at the hospital last evening. The attendance at the
entertainment limited only to the nurses and
one or two especially invited guests. The enter

groom, clergyman, flower girls and guests.
Miss Wicklund was the happy groom. Miss
Stansfed the charming bride, Miss McMillin the
staid motherin-law. Miss Davis the dashing brides
maid and Miss Benedict the wnsome flower girl.
Miss Ladd and Miss O'Connor were fetching in
their representations of physicians of the hospital
staff. The fun took place in the nurses parlor, and
finished with wedding banquet and hop"
The above clipped from last Saturdays Herald
does not seem to be in accordance with Catholic
feeling and sentiment. In Lent when marriages
not solemnized with all the pomp Of the ritual,
"a mock marriage with bride, groom, clergyman
flower girls and guests" in Catholic institution
sounds in the ears of the ordinary lay man as
very profane and frivolous amusement.
T. F. CAHILL
Salt Lake City, March 2S 1909.
Our correspondent is quite right. Not only in
Lent but at any season of the year and not only in
a Catholic institution but in any Catholic home the
burlesqung of the sacrament is worse than profane
Marriage is of the seven sacraments blessed
and sanetifed by Christ. To profane what Lord
elevated to the dignity of sacrament is periousy
to sacrilege. Disregard for the sanctity and
indssolubility of marriage is the crying sin of the
age. The Catholic church stands alone in fighting
the evil of the divorce any attempt to cast
approbrium the sacrament of matrimony Hence
the action of the foolish nurses in parodying the
sacrament of the church and in publishing their
Novel Wedding Banquet" is not only "a very pro
fame and frivolous amusement but undermin-
ing of the teaching of the church regarding the
sacrcdness of the marriage tie.
