Archbishop Ireland leaves Omaha enthusi-
astic over omaha's reception OF Cardinal
Vannutelh Discussing this he said:
"of course l am pleased with the recep-
ton given by the citizens Of Omaha to
Cardinal Vannutelli. The reception GER
tainly was all that could have been wished,
all that could have been hoped for. The
crowds in the various corridors and halls
of the Paxton indicated the universally of
good feeling toward Cardinal Nannutelli
and did honor to Omaha. Everything was
we'll ordered, showing a high degree of
citizenship and no small degree of social
culture
Il am very glad that Omaha was one OF
the few cities having the honor of enter
tanning the cardinal Every city Of any
size claimed the honor but few received
It. and among those marked in the pro-
gram was the city Of Omaha This shows
that in the eyes Of Cardinal Vannutelll
merit is not always measured by density
OF population or by air-rending noises OF
factories
Defender of Principles.
"of course the visit Of the cardinal ap-
peals more directly than TO others to Cath
olcs who see in him one of the great rep
resentatives Of their church; but to all
citizens of America he looms up as great
prelate of large-minded culture and warm
sympathy for all that is good and great in
any and all countries. He represents in a
special manner the Papacy which, without
entering into theological questions, all will
recognize as the potent factor during past
centuries in the formation of Christian CIV
ilization, and today as the tireless and au-
thoritatlve defender of the vital principles
underlying the growth of moral progress
and the preservation OF social and civil
order.
Cardinal vannutelli is pleased beyond
measure with what he learns and sees oil
America Intelligent and well read about
America and American affairs as men
may be in other countries, they cannot
realize wildly what America is, what
America means, unless they have contem-
plated IL with their own eyes. In view OF
the great part allotted to Cardinal Nannu-
tell in the general government OF the Cath
Ollie church 1t will be an immense benefit
to him and an immense benefit to the
church in America TO have seen America
anear, to have been able to have an imme-
date vision of its resources and posi-
bilities.
Country OF tine Future.
HE frequently repeats, America is the
country of the future AS America moves
forward It leads and as America leads, sc
moves more or less of the world. For the
sake Of the world and. OF course, for Its
own sake. America should be on Its guard
to prevent its liberties from degeneratne
into licenses; to uphold in the midst of its
liberties civic and social order, to defend
valianuy the great principals Of morality
which make for the preservation OF the
family and true national veal.
these are the thoughts that seem to bt
before the cardinals mind as he passes
through our country and to which, nov
in one form and another, he has given ex'
pressson In his public addresses
