THE COLUMBUS MEMORIAL.

To the Knights Of Columbus
throughout the United States much
credit Is due for the memorial to the
great discoverer of America, which
was unveiled at the national capital
last Saturday. 1t is fitting that the
discoverer of America should be SO
honored. Two of our presidents we
have honored by making their birth
days holidays. One day of the year
we set aside to honor our soldier
dead. The anniversary of the sign
ing of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence Is each year celebrated with no
diminishing enthusiasm. A special
day Is act apart each year for thanks
giving to God for the well-being Of
the nation. All this is we'll. 1t Is
right that we should celebrate the
anniversary Of our independence. 1t
is right that we should honor our IL.
lustrious presidents and our soldier
dead. 1t Is right that we should give
thanks to the Oliver of all good gifts
for the prosperity and happiness Of
our nation. But to what hero. is not
only America, but the whole world,
more deeply indebted than to the
great navigator who faced the danger
of the antraveled seas, who with cour.
age born of faith risked his life and
disregarded the threats, intrigues and
entreaties of less brave sailors In Or
der to find sea route to the Orient?
He accomplished more than his pur.
pose. He discovered new continent.
To Christopher Columbus the world
is deeply indebted. The people of
America have not honored him as ia
his due. The memorial erected in
Washington is the first step in the
direction Of his recognition. To all
who helped to make it possible the
nation owes thanks
The only distressing feature Is to
hear dtscordant notes among a few
bigots who are distressed to see Cath.

monies Of unwilling a memorial to

DILLoN's CONFIDENCE.

John Dillon is not q man who takes
a narrow outlook on questions affect
ing his country. He is a trained
statesman who is happily blessed with
the powers Of a broad vision. He is
not, therefore, unusually depressed or
unusually overjoyed by trivial circum-
stances bearing on the more important
issues. II am not one Of those who
are over sanguine as to the present
position" he said in a recent speech.
II am aware that there is before us
long and severe fight before we sue
coed and put the Home Rule bill on
the statute book, but We Irish are not
afraid Ct fight. They forget the
struggle we have passed through dur
ing the long years since we first erect
ed the banner of the present Irish
party. When we compare the position
OF our party today with thirty years
ago 1t is not likely that Mr.. Bonar
Law or any of these new.hedged poll.
ticians will terrify US. Whilst we
have long struggle before US, on the
other hand we have secured the CO.
hesion Of an unbroken and united Lib.
eral party. The passing of the Home
Rule bill by majority of 1O1 is a
fact which can never be undone."
Mr.. Dillon does not purposely close
his eyes to the troubles ahead any
more than he would purposely over.
look the achievements Of the past. He
blends both in due proportion and
gives candid opinion which is relia-
ble He has keen eye to passing
events. He notes with unfeigned sat
isfaction the absence of the religious
question during the debate on Home
kule. 1t was practically forbidden

cause the Tories dreaded being worst.
ed, should they bring it forward.
The fact Of the matter is, Mr.. Dill
lon points out, there is no religious
question In Ireland. In the whole of
europe there Is no cleaner record of
religious tolerance than in his county.
The Catholics, while in the majority,
have played fair. Not SO much can
be said for the Orangemen of Ulster
But the settlement is coming. The
people will not listen to charges of
intolerance when the facts prove the
contrary to be true. There is yet much
to be done. There is still hard fight
ahead. But, like Mr.. Dillon, we must
not be unmindful Of the success of the
hight that has already been waged.
We may all share Mr.. Dillon's conf.
dence, for he is not confident without
reason.

THE CHICAGO CONVENTION,

On Tuesday of next week the Ma
tional Republican Nominating Conven-
ton Will convene in Chicago. Every
evidence points to a contest that will
be historical. The outcome will be OF
world interest. For the time being,
therefore. all eyes are turned on the
scene OF the promised battle.
The developments Of the past week
have not been suspicious for Roose.
welt. The contested seats are being
decided in Taft's favor. Roosevelt
supporters charge steam roller meth.
DDS. That there Is little foundation
for such charge may be Judged from
the unanimity with which the deci.
sions are being made for Taft. The
fact seems to be that the contests
were made mainly for the sake of
making 1t appear that the Taft sen.
timent was not as marked as it seem.
ed to be. The pretexts in most of the
cases were fsimsy. They were with.
out foundation. Hence the decisions
of the committee In favor of the Pres.
ident.
Notwithstanding the suspicious turn
OF events during the past week, 1, ia
still beyond the range of probability
that when the convention opens Taft
will command majority of the dele
gates Neither will Roosevelt. The
result cannot be determined in ad-
vance. 1t will have to be fought out
on the floor Of the convention. La
Toilette will have thirty.six delegates.
Cummi1s will have ten. Between
them they may be able to control the
balance Of power. But that will all
depend on how the uninstructed dele
gates vote.
Whatever the result may be. one
thing 10 certain. and that is the divi-
sion between Taft and Roosevelt will
be we'll defined. Both men are we'll

OUR PARocHIAL SCHOOLS.

At this season of the year when
baccalaureate sermons and COM
mencement addresses are so numer-
Gus we are liable to pass over these
events without thinking seriously of
them or considering their meaning for
the teachers and the students who
participate in them. While in the
public schools there is often more or
less Indifference to such matters on
the part Of the teachers, it is not so
in the case of parochial schools. The
reason is obvious enough. The pub
lie school teacher does not remain
long in one place. She does not learn
to know the children or to take a per-
scnal interest in them in the way that
the nun whose life is consecrated to
her work does. The one is laboring
for a livelihood; the other for the
glory of serving the Master Who Is
God.
The commencement exercises of the
parochial school mean much for par
ents. teachers and students. They
mean that a certain amount of work
has been done in accommodating knowl-
edge and in character building. They
mean that the children have become
enlightened in their faith as we'll as
in reading and writing and arithmetic.
They mean that those who are given
diplomas have learned about the
Maker of all things as we'll as about
the world He has made.
On occasions like these Catholics
should. turn out to show their inter-
est in and their approval Of the good
work being done by those whose lives
are consecrated to that kind of serv-
Ice. The nuns do their work silently
and unobtrusively. The year goes by
and no one who does not take the
trouble to find out ever hears of their
firing hours of labor. For nine months
Of the year the exacting daily routine
is kept up. Much Of it would be dull
purpose that underlies 1t all. Day in
and day out the drilling goes on. Then
come the closing exercises. The work
Of the year is put on exhibition. OF
course no one can admire it as well
as those who have given over their
hours to 1t. But can we not take an
interest in what is being done by 9TH
ers and for others as we'll as what is
being done for ourselves? We owe IL
to the nuns and the Catholic brother.
hoods to do as much. They are not
depending on our eulogies or labor.
ing to win them. But a word Of
praise now and then will do no harm.
1t will make the work lighter for those
who have 1t to do.

ROOSEVELT AND GRANT.

In one of his famous oraticns Dan.
lei Webster said: Il know no way of
judging the future except by the
past" If we proceed by that method,
and 1t seems to be as safe as any, to
predict the outcome of the Chicago
convention We would be forced to &C.
cept the conclusion that Mr.. Roose-
welt will not be the conventions NOM
inee.
There has been only one nominat-
Ing convention in this country that
parallels the one to be held next week.
That was the Republican convention
which was held in Chicago thirty-two
years ago this June. To that conven-
ton the name of Ulysses 8. Grant was
presented as third term candidate
There was not the campaigning for
support that characterized the present
struggle. Grant had been urged to
become a candidate. He finally an
nounced that he would accept the
nomination if it were rendered to him.
He remained inactive, ready to abide
by the decision of the convention.
The third term issue was at stake.
Grant was formidable candidate. He
endeared himself to the people by his
great generalship in the Civil War.
During his eight years as president
his popularity was increased. When
his term Of Office sended he went on
triumphal tour around the world. He
was feasted and feted by the mon
archs of the Old World. His home
coming was marked by an enthusiast
tic welcome. The American people
were proud to do honor to their great
soldier end statesman. It could not
have been said that he was ambitious
to become dictator. He had done
much more for his country and talked
much less than the present third term
candidate. He was more popular and
less egotistic than Roosevelt ever was.
The honcrs bestowed on him In Eu-
rope We're limited only by the inability
OF those who carried them out to do
more. Grant was loved for his achieve
ments as general as we'll as for his
work as a statesman. He looked to
win If anyone could. He had large
and loyal following. Would the third
term objection stand the pressure of
his personality? That was the ques-
ton on all lips when the memorable
convention of 1880 opened.
When the first ballot was taken
Grant was found to be the favorite.
The alignment was definite. There
was no swaying of sentiment. Blaine
had his following, ard Grant and Sher.
man had theirs. For thirty-four bal
lots there was scarcely a change in
the results: Then appeared the dark
horse" On the thirty-fourth ballot
Garfield got seventeen votes; on the
thtrty-fifth the number was raised to
fifty; on the thirty-sixth he had three
hundred and ninety-ntne! He was the
victor The principle adhered to by
Washington and Jefferson and Jack.
son was sustained. Grant was de-
feated.
Can Roosevelt do what Grant could
not do? Can he win nomination
that man who was more popular and
who did infinitely more for his coun.
try could not win? If we are to judge
the future by the past, we must say,
decidedly no. If Roosevelt is nomi-
mated 1t will be by boiling conven.
