TAFT AND ROOSEVELT THERE
Remarkable Tribute Paid to Church.
man on Fiftieth Anniversary of His
Priesthood and Twenty-fifth as Car
din

dinal.
Gathered from the four ends of the
land, distinguished men of all creeds
assembled at the Fifth Regiment ar
in the most notable and remarkable
tribute ever paid to churchman in
America.
With one mind and with one pur-
pose this concourse of people who
filled the great building came to do
honor to James Cardinal Gibbons in
commemoration of life of good
works, which was crowned by the ad-
vent of his fiftieth anniversary as a
priest and the twenty-fifth anniver-
sary of his elevation to the car
dinalate.
The chief executive of the nation
himself came to laud the deeds of the
venerable and universally loved pre-
late. With him were the vice pres-
dent of the United States, representa-
tives of every branch of the national
government, justices of the supreme
court and members of the diplomatic
corps.
The governor of the state presided
over the assemblage. The most promi-
nent representatives of every creed,
priests, pastors, rectors, elders, rabbis
and other children of churches of all
denominations swelled the throng and
joined their voices in praise of the
exemplary life of their co-worker for
the good of mankind. Such a sponta-
neous demonstration was never be-
fore seen on this hemisphere. Prob
ably the world never witnessed more
generous outburst of enthusiasm for
one with whose theological principles
many of the participants are at vari-
ance.

many ways. 1t brought together for
the first time in many moons Presi-
dent Taft and former President Roose-
welt, and the meeting was so cordial
that even the staid congressman and
senators, who had not been altogether
certain of the relations of the two
men, were surprised.
OF the speeches made, those of the
president and Colonel Roosevelt, next
to that of the cardinal, commanded
the greatest attention, and both dealt
with religious liberty and liberation.
The former president made a decided
hit and was cheered again and again
when in the course of his address he
said the time would come when there
would be Catholic presidents as well
as Protestants and Jews would be
presidents as well as Gentiles.
1t was really jovial event, in which
American good nature found its best
and broadest expression. For three
hours over $4,000 men, women and
children stood, for there were no seats
on the main floor of the armory, lis.

and not one complaint was heard

Forewarned Is Forearmed.

The Orangeburg Sun Is moth
ing if not logical. The esteemed
Sun is an avowed partisan OF
Governor Blease, which is OF
course its privilege. But in last
weeks issue we note the follow
ing paragraph, under the caption
"A Warming:
Former Governor Nardaman, oi
Mississippi, was elected United
States Senator last Tuesday by the
popular vote of the people of that
State. He was opposed by the
present Senator, Mr. Percy, and by
another able man. The mOneyed
interests fought Vardaman. The
newspapers of the State, that is the
majority of them, bitterly abused
him. The personal abuse heaped
upon him was scandulous.
And yet he beat two able men in
the first primary.
Is this not warning to most OF
the newspapers of the State who are
continually abusing and vilifying
the highest official of South Caro-
lima?
1t is natural to suppose that
The Sun desires the reelection OF
It's candidate, then why warm
the Governors opponents that
their methods will result in that
very thing? When the enemy's
tactics are playing into your
hands, the wisest course of pro-
eedure is to smile pleasantly and
let the heather rage" 1t seems
a little unusual, to say the least
of it, to warn the enemy that he
Is doing the very thing you want
Rim to do, that is to say, cut
ting, his. own throat. Better en-
courage him in his suicidal folly;
'forewarned is forearmed,' you
know.

The Medicine Bottle.


In order to avert the most serious
thing of having child take the wrong
medicine, mothers should adhere to the
following rules:
Never give medicine In the dark.
Always read the label on the bottle.
Never 90 by the color Of the medi'
cine.
When the bottle Is refilled see that
the label reads clear.
Keep poisons locked up.
Keep all bottles locked up In draw
er or medicine chest.
Mistakes of giving children carbolic
acid and such like poisons in the night
time make 1t imperative that mothers
study and adhere to these rules, Tor
sometimes such inadvertent mistakes
bring about terrible conclusions.-Cin-

Guvernor-Scnator Smith of Gcor-
gia has the wrong front name;
instead of heing Hoke smith he
should be named Hog Smith. In
this State men are criticised for
holding two offices when one is
without remunaration, such as
school trustee. 1t is hard to
conceive Of the brazen etfrontery
of an individual who clings to
the two highest offices within the
gift of the people. The proper
discipline for Hog Smith is that
he should be kicked out of both
offices.
