Vice President Sherman Lauds Nuns.
On May 1S Vice President Sherman
was the honored guest Of Nazareth
Academy in charge of the Sisters of
st. Joseph, Nazareth, Kalamazoo
County, Michigan. In the address to
the large distinguished audience as
sembled to greet him, he made the
following statement: "To me, the
Catholic Sisterhood seems to be one
of the strongest proofs of the exist
ence of hereafter. I speak, not as
member of the Catholic Church, or a
sectarian, or a member of any reli-
gious belief. These noble women have
given up all that they have in this
world, their wealth, their homes, their
hearts, their lives, and have devoted
all their enegries and entire attention,
to the rearing of others children, to
the guiding of youths, and to the
turning of mature minds to loftier
sentiments with no hope whatever of
any reward, except that which they
hope for in the great beyond. There
is no more potent demonstration of
the existence of God than the work
of the Sisters. All praise, all honor to
the great army of the Catholic Sis
terhoods."

COMM ENcEMEN

Every zephyr that blows our way
watts with it announcements of COM
mencement exercises. Since the be-
ginning of June thousands of young
people have enjoyed the pleasant sem
sation Of receiving diplomas all their
own. Some will continue their edu-
cation in higher institutions but the
majority ATE through with school
when their high school work Is fin
ished. The latter will begin their
course in the institution of hard
knocks. They will go forth full of
youthful spirit and ambition, hopeful
of accomplishing anything that any
one has ever accomplished before.
This is the spirit of unbridled vigor,
the spirit that seeks to know in the
words of Wordsworth
what one is,
Why may not millions be? What bars
are thrown

MNNocENcE ABROAD"

Since emerging from the jungles
our ex-President has been leading a
strenuous life giving foreign powers
lessons in the art of government. In
his capacity as General Manager of
the Nations he has had occasion to re-
lieve himself of numerous ideas. He
told the Egyptians how fortunate they
were in being subjects of British tyr
amy. He went to Rome and made a
noise. In France he gave them the
necessary instructions on how to man
age a republic. BY way of variety he
added a few lessons on world-peace.
In England he subjected the govern
ment to his powerful x-ray analysis
and photographed the backbone of it
so clearly that all the defects became
evident. One of the flaws that Theo-
dores picture made plain was the len
iency of the administration in Egypt.
This he deplored for no doubt in his
African travels he has seen that the
weak animals are always the prey of
the strong and why should it not be
the same with nations?
Now some people have been so I'M
kind as to criticize the Colonel when
all the time he has been doing what
he considers as his duty. He knows
that he Is better informed on Euro
pean politics than European states
men and in his modest way has
deemed it incumbent on himself to
give them a few tips. No doubt he
would be glad to offer further valu-
able suggestions if it were not for his
dislike for publicity which he shuns
like an ambitious actor.
Anyway, the Colonel has finished
his tour of inspection and he is to be
with us again. Surely it is a great
relief. 1t is true we have gotten along
for a year without him but in his alb
sence we have been as helpless as an
automobile without horn-we could
get along we'll enough but, alas, we
, could not make noise. No more OF
this trouble, the honk- honker is back

b1tion. Let no one think the days OF
great possibilities are past There
never was a time when the opportu-
mites for doing good work were linn
tied for those who work in earnest
There never was a time when heroic
Valor could not win from Victory a

Dame is willing to come whenever she
is properly. hidden and glad to re-
main as long as her company Is ap-
preciated.
The great danger that confronts
most of us is that enthusiasm is like
ly to wane under the stress of hard
work. We know that the frisking colt
soon ceases to play when hitched to
the pillow. And so it is with many
young men and women. They do not
find the road to the realization of
their ideals a curbed boulevard; they
are disappointed and the rosy picture
begins to take the form of an ugly
cartoon. The mistake is not in hav-
ing too high an ideal but in over
looking the work it's attainment is
likely to entail. High aim is neces-
sary but of little use unless linked
with high endeavor
To those who are to begin life's
serious work we would say, have high
ideals and expect disappointments.
Blows are necessary to draw out your
steel to cutting edge Welcome them
and plod on. Aim to do noble things,
to live life in the record of which
the world may never find a flaw. Try
to be, rather than to appear; to seek
the applause of your conscience
rather than that of tickle public,
and you cannot fail.

THE CONQUEST OF THE AIR.

Like young, ~ unfeathered birds
around their nest, aviators have I'M
til recently been content to indulge in
little spurts of flight at home They
have delighted the public by rising
over chosen spots, circling about and
descending in places provided for the
purpose. But it seems that increase
of appetite still grows by what it
feeds on for they are no longer con-
tent to hover over crowded parks for
the dedication of admirers; they
want to get away, to skim falcon-like
through the air while daring ambition
directs the rudder. One man makes
a worlds record and it lasts until the
news is flashed to a competitor who
straightway sets another mark. Cur
tiss winged his way from Albany to
New York and Hamilton's vaulting
ambition soon lead him to establish
a round trip ,record between New York
and Philadelphia. eg,ea
The things that have been accom-
plished in the last three quarters OF
a century through the application OF
scientific principles are truly wonder
full T,te inventions that have been
made have transformed the surface OF
the globe and all this has been due
mainly to the discovery of electricity
the miracle worker Of modern science
The steam engine, the telegraph, the
telephone, the dynamo, all wonders in
themselves, have been relegated to
the commonplace things of daily life
and now the airship Is drifting in that
direction.
Aerial navigation is an accomplished
fact though it is far from being prac-
tical yet. There is reason to believe
that the airship of the future will be
very different craft from that which
is attracting the public gaze today
The elements of danger are too great
for the airship in its present form to
become a practical commercial ma
chine. BY experimenting many of the
present defects will be removed and
the airship WILL no doubt, in due
time become a practical means OF
transportation.

A WORD FOR THE SISTERS.

The excellent programs that are
given at the commencement exercises
Of our Catholic schools cannot fail to
win the heartiest appreciation of those
who attend them. The priests, Chris
tian Brothers and Sisters are to be
complimented on the excellency of
their work and of these the latter de-
serve special mention. These devoted
seclusion from the world and are de-
voting themselves with heroic valor to
the service of God In the noblest of &C.
cupations-that of training Christian
men and women. Their only pleasures
are those they receive from doing their
duty, but for them these are the sweet
est pleasures in life. Their work is
not done for any applause it may
merit but for the greater glory of God
to whose service their lives have been
consecrated.
And to what worthy cause are
they devoted. They are implanting
Christian ideals in the hearts and
minds of the young and those in turn
whose characters have been moulded
by their benign influence will go into
the world to transmit by example the
lessons they have learned. And thus
the good results of their labor are not
limited but go on accommodating. They
are sending refining influences into
society, improving the standard of
citizenship in the state and nation. The
evils, such as divorce, dishonesty and
loose morals, that are stalking about,
defying correction at the hands of
legislators are being more successfully
eradicated by this silent army or work
ers than they can ever be by the most
exacting DEGREES of the highest civil
tribunals. The evils that threaten
society can be best eradicated by in
culcating In the minds of the young
love for God and, horror for all
those influences that are debasing.
This is what the Catholic sisterhood
Is doing. To them we owe much and
for the still greater success Of their
noble work we wish Heavens choicest
blessings.

General Ulysses Grant once declared
that the war against Mexico was II
crime, and If what is now being dis
closed about the sinking of the Maine
turns out to be true, the war against
Spain was still greater crime, says
the Catholic Standard and Times The
late ex-Speaker Reed is quoted by ex-
Congressman John G. Lamb as author
tty for the statement that President
Mckinley knew that the Maine was
not blown up by the Spaniards, and
that the explosion was internal and
not external, and that the President
was Influenced by the late Mark Han
ma and some others to alter a concil-
atory message to Congress into one
which made war inevitable for fear the
Republicans would lose the fall cleo

kill one another than to kill them in
cold blood. These exhibitions delight
ed the heathens until it became pas
sion with them. Condemned criminals
slaves, captives, knights, senators and
degenerate men of all classes focked
to the arena. At last gladiatorial COM
bats became the fashion at festivals
and entertainments and the wealthy,
and in fact all who sought social dis
tinction, were supposed to have them
as an essential part of their banquets
But Christianity finally came and put
Its ban on these inhuman exhibitions
Early in the fourth century Constan.
tine issued the first edict against them
but not until a pious monk lost his life
in an attempt to separate two angry
combatants did the public conscience
awaken sufficiently to disapprove of
this brutal past time.
The ethics of the present would not
tolerate gladiatorial exhibitions but
still people will rush to the ringside
to see scientifically trained brutes
spatter each others blood or, as is
more often the case, act their parts in
a ''framed-up" fight. The action of
Governor Gillett in his attempt to up
hold the laws of California and stop
the fight is to be commended. The
people of California should voice their
approval in no uncertain terms.
We have no sympathy for either of
the contestants in the bout that is to
desecrate the birthday Of our nation,
but if it is to be fought we should like
to see each pummel enough common
sense into the other to turn him to fol-
lowing worthier means of gaining q
livelihood.

Mary Eva Kelly, wife of the late
Kelvin Izod O'Doherty, died in Aus
tralia on the 23rd of May at the age
of 70. Mrs. O'Doherty's life was
one of unrelenting devotion to Ire
land. In her girlhood days she was
seized with an ardent desire to work
for the betterment of conditions in
her country. When she was but thir-
teen years old she wrote poem en-
titled the "Banshee" which was pub
lished in the Nation. She afterwards
became writer of distinction and in
everything she wrote she shows Ian
ardent love for Ireland and desire to
teach her people to be proud of their
past and to endeavor to accomplish
still greater and nobler things in the
future. She was engaged to Kelvin
O'Doherty at the age of seventeen and
in the same year her betrothed was
arrested and sentenced to ten years of
penal servitude for participating in the
rebellion of 1848. He was told that If
he pleaded guilty his sentence would
be cut short. He did not care to do
this. He told his young fiancee of his
condition and asked her what he
should do. She told him quickly to
be true to his country and she would
wait for him. He served his ten
years sentence and returned to find his
promised bride true to Ireland and to
her lover.
