BISHOP LUDDEN
His Death Follows Lin
RerinR Illness at
Syracuse.

Both religious and lay circles
throughout the country were great!
grieved on Tuesday to learn of thu
death at Syracuse, N. Y, of the
Right Rev. Patrick A. Ludden. tn,
first Bishop of that diocese, after al
Illness with which he was stricker
Hast October.
Bishop Ludden was born Februar!
A, 1886, in the little village o.
Breaffy, outside the town of Castle.
bar, County Mayo, in the Providence
of Connaught, Ireland. Breaffy is 9
part of the parish of Castlebar
Bishop Ludden had two brothers
James and Edmund, and five sisters
Mary, Anna, Honora, Cecilia and
Margaret. Honora, Cecilia and Mar.
garet became religious, all three
joining the Sisters of Charity at
Leavenworth, Kans., assuming the
names of Sister Agnes Maria, Sister
M. stephen and Sister M. Agatha re-
spectively. Sister M. Agatha died at
st. Vincent's Hospital, Leadville,
Colo. Sister Agnes Maria and Sister
NJ. Stephen are still performing the
duties of their vocation. Bishop Lud-
den was educated first in the village
school at Breaffy, taught by a man
named Mccarthy. Afterward he was
sent to John Beirne's Academy, Cas-
tlebar, from which he was graduated.
He went next to st. Jarlath's College,
Tuam, early in 1859. After a year
and a half he finished his classical
course at st. Jarlath's. In the sum-
mer of 1861 he came to America and
entered the Grand Seminary, Mon
treal, Canada, conducted by the
Sulpician Fathers, where he COM
pleted his theological studies. He
was ordained for the Diocese of AL
bany in the Grand Seminary, May
21. 1864, by Right Rev. Ignatius
Bourget, the second Bishop of Mon
treal.
The diocese of Syracuse was cut
off from the Albany diocese by Pope
Leo XIII. The diocese was first pro-
jected by the Holy See September IL,
1886, and Father Ludden was made
Bishop-elect. In spite of Father
Ludden's refusal, ne was fai1laffy sfp-
pointed Bishop of the new see on
December IA, 1886. His conservation
took place at the Church of the As
sumption, Syracuse. Archbishop
Corrigan, of New York, was the Off
ciating prelate. He was assisted by
Bishop Bernard McQuade, of Roches-
ter. Bishop Farrell, of Trenton,
preached the sermon on the occasion.
His activities during his twenty-five
years as Bishop of Syracuse have
been rewarded with many extensive
Improvements in the diocese. He had
established twenty-eight parishes in
the last quarter of century. He
had confirmed over $4,000 people
during that time. He rebuilt the
Cathedral of the Immaculate Con-
ception at his own expense in 1908,
and made it the Cathedral of the
diocese.

GUARDIANS
Have Not Bettered Meth
DDS of MaIodorous
Predecessors.

The Guardians Of Liberty, who
have assumed the functions of the
defunct A. P. AS, have not bettered
the methods of their malodorous
predecessors. They are publishing a
"Lincoln's Warning" in which the
great war President is made to de-
clare that he feared the Vaccinations
of Rome and the Jesuits and so on
In the usual key. There is nothing
in connection with the warning
which would go to show where or
when it was uttered by Lincoln.
That OF course will make no differ
ence to people who swallow that sort
Of stuff.
Happily we have authentic infor-
nation concerning Lincoln's views of
the precursors of the Guardians. In
a recently published volume, "Recol-
lections OF Abraham Lincoln" by
Ward Hill Lamon, there is an inter
esting letter from Lincoln showing
what he thought of the A. p. AS of
his time. Writing in 1855 to Joshua
f. Speed, an old Louisville friend,
Lincoln said:
"You inquire where | now stand.
That is disputed point. l think l
am a Whig; but others say there
are no Wings, and that l am an
Abolitionist. am not a Know
Nothingl that is certain. How could
| be? How can anyone who abhors
the oppression Of negroes be in favor
Of degrading classes of white people?
Our progress in degeneracy appears
to me to be pretty rapid AS a ma
tion we began by declaring that 'All
men are created equal We now
read IT; All men are
created equal except negroes When
the Know-Nothings get control 1t will
read; All men are created equal,
except negroes and foreigners and
Catholics When II comes.to this I
should prefer emigrating TO some
country where they make no pretense
of loving where despotism
,an be taken pure, and without the
base alloy Of hypocrisy"

ST. ROSE.
She Is Especially Revered
As the Saint of
America.

st. Rose of Lima, whose feast day
is celebrated on August 80, is espe.
clally revered as the saint OF
America. When an infant she was
christened Isabel, but one day a
beautiful rose appeared to rest on
her race, which seemed so strange
and miraculous to her parents and
relations that they determined to call
her Rose instead of Isabel. How
remarkable was the life of a child
who at the tender age of five years
consecrated herself by VOW to .vir-
ginity to our Lord. Surely God must
have marked her out for his own be-
Tore she was born. Her natural
beauty, the complexion of her coun-
tenance, the symmetry of her form
all that nature could lavish on. a
child was consecrated in this, our
saint of America. On one occasion,
we read in her life, our Blessed Lord
appeared to her and said: "Why art
thou attached to flowers which the
sun causes to fade? Am l not the
Flower of the fields, infinitely more
precious than all those which thou
hast raised in thy garden with so
much care? Thou are a flower, and
thou lowest flowers. o, Rose, gave
me thy love; know that it is l who
called thee, that thou mayest no
longer give any creature share in
that heart which belongs to me-"
Nor was our Lords appeal unheeded.
Twelve hours were daily given to
contemplation, yet she was never
known to neglect her other duties.
Ever ready to assist others by her
counsel and labors, she was con-
stantly solicited for aid and advice bNl
those who knew and admired he'd
sanctity. She had the lowest opanf
ion of herself and was never
to speak in loud tone of vol

markable effect, however, asfhe
su0dued air of the Tories, Including
those who had melted such blood
shed, for every one condemned The
acts OF the Orange rowdies and even
approved Birrell's flooding Belfast
with soldiers and police to put down
such atrocities by force. Thus the
singular spectacle was presented OF
orangemen one day melting dupes to
riot and the next day approving their
being shot down if necessary by
bullets of soldiers and police.
Just as the debate was closing a
remarkable incident took place
Redmond challenged Bonar Law to
answer for his words the previous
week. Bonar Law was foolish enough
to rise to the bait and he repeated
his outrageous appeals for civil war
or the previous week. This in turn
provoked the Liberals in return.
Asquith, who was absent from the
House, was sent for hurriedly; he
entered leisurely after Law had
spoken for several minutes, and then
rising delivered an impromptu
speech of such powerful invectiye
1hdt tue hlOSTdlS anu lTlSn cleereQ
themselves hoarse. All the critics
described the speech as the greatest
in Asquith's life. Ramsay McDon-
aid, speaking for the Labor party,
expressed an equally severe con-
demnation of the Orange outrages
and brought out the facts as to the
relief of the expelled Englishmen by
the English trades unions.
The universal impression is that
this premature outburst of Orange
brutality gives a quietus to long
campaign of Orange oratory designed
to produce bloodshed in Ulster. The
Tories announce another campaign
for September in Ulster, in an at
tempt to revive the dying embers OF
religious bigotry. The week wound
up with an all night sitting forced by
the Tories to exhaust the Liberals,
and with an attempt early on Friday
morning to get another snap division
and defeat the Government. Both
attempts failed, and the week ends
with the Liberals more full of fight
than for weeks and the Tories more
discouraged.

He based his estimate of LOO aban-
doned churches, he said, on an actual
count of 500 secured in a survey.
This estimate does not include, DR..
Wilson explained, the churches that
have been turned into corncribs, pig
sites, barns or have been burned or
hauled away, but represent churches
standing idle and unoccupied. Among
the reasons given for this condition
were the false notions propagated by
the ministers and failure to teach
farmers how to spend their money.

SPEEDY HALFBACK
TO BE DISCIPLINED

Rumors from the Moline high school
football camp are to the effect that the
team may be minus the services of
several IF its players when it lines up
against Davenport high school Thurs
day in the annual Turkey day contest.
Il seems that Halfback Stowe whose
play has been little short of phenom-
email together with a lineman of more
or less value to the team, broke the
training rules regarding smoking -.
Coach Burroughs who plays no favor
ties, is considering the punishment
that shall be melted out to the offend
ers. Neither was taken along to
Iowa City Saturday when the team
went there to witness the Wisconsin.
Iowa struggle and it is possible though
not probable that additional punish
ment in the shape of being barred
from the last game, may be decreed.
1t is to be hoped that the coach will
relent as the spectators want to see
the full strength of both teams.

SEVERAL SUBSTITUTIONS.
Coach Corneal tried several substi
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1912-11-25

as a result of technicalities which de-
veloped during the around Lake Mi
chigan" tour of the Chicago Motor
club last month.
The Coey-Mitchell Auto company,
the Stutz Motor Car company, and
the Staver Carriage company were
the Chicago firms to draw penalties.
The Moline Auto company of East Mo-
line, ILL.,, was the fourth firm to draw
firm from the A. A. A. officials. All
four are barred from competing in
contests sanctioned by the A. A. A. un-
til the suspensions expired
Moline and Staver cars were the
only machines to finish the tour with
perfect records. Gus Monckmier pi-
loted a Staver through the five day
trip without mourning a penalty and
won the w. E. Stalmaker trophy for
the touring car class. Molines driv-
en- by Joe Wicke and Frank Salisbury
also made perfect scores, capturing
the c. NJ. C. team trophy and winning
equal right to the Morton J. Luce tro-
ply for the toy tonneau and roadster
class.
Violation Of rule rs of the contest
rules is given as the reason for the
suspension of the Staver and Moline
firms. The machines are said to have
been advertised as stock cars" while
the rules forbid such advertising Of
cars entered in nonstock car tour.
The Chicago Motor club contest was
strictly nonstock event. The ques-
ton Of whether or not the cars actu-
ally were stock machines is not con-
sidered In the penalty.
The Coey-Mitchell and the Stutz
manufacturers were placed under the
ban for failing to report for the start
and not notifying the referee Of their
intention to withdraw, after having
signed the official entry blank for the
tour.

IL KILLED, 1873 INJURED
1912 TOLL OF GRIDlRON

Chicago, Nov. 25.-Twelye killed
and 1S3 injured constitute the toll of
the gridiron during the season of 1912.
The death list exceeds by one those
of 1903 and 1911, but continues small
despite the fact that 1912 rules for
the college sport recall the old style
plunging game.
More injuries were reported this
year than during 1911, which in a
way may be charged to the new game,
but the total is far from the record
of 1909, with it's list of 30 killed and
216 injured, or of 1910, when % sue
cumbed and the injuries mark reach
ed 499. These were recorded under
the old rules, in force this season in 4
slightly modified form.
Besides the II deaths which were
due directly to injuries received in
football games, another death from
pneumonia can be traced to the sport.

High School Football Team
Shows That 1t Has Glass, in
Final Home Game
PEORIA SQUAD DEFEATED
Final Count Is 81 to and Victory Is
Well Deserved One for the
Local Warriors.

The Rock Island high school foot
ball warriors ended their appearances
on the home grounds Saturday with a
brilliant display Of ability which won
the game from Peoria high school by
score Of 80 to o. The team which
represented Rock Island in it's last
home game was as different from the
team last seen here as night is from
day. Coach Corneal spoke truly when
he said earlier in the week that the
team had finally come into its own and
was at last worthy representative OF
a school that always turns out good
squads. Peoria, despite a considera.
BILE weight advantage, was never in
the running and after the first quar-
ter 1t was merely case of how big the
score would be.
Whistler. Willett, Tremann, Glass
and Brough. were the particular stars
OF the day though the playing of every
man on the team was far better than
at any other time this season. The
victory was deserved one and was a
hitting way OF closing the season.
PEoRIANs OUTCLAssED.
A strong west wind caused the col
ored captain of the Peoria team, to
choose he west goal when he won the
toss before the game and accordingly
Rock Island kicked off. For five min
utes the ball seesawed back and
fourth and the teams appeared even.
y matched and then Rock Islands
superior football ability, training and
speed began to have it's effect Finally
getting possession of the ball, the To-
calls rushed It down the field by short
but very CONSTANT gains and when the
quarter ended, the ball was on the FIVE
yard line with two downs remaining
o. make the distance.
MAKE MANY TOUCHDowNs.
When the second quarter opened
Peoria braced and held Rock Island
away from a touchdown, but after Sc.
curing the ball, executed a tumble
back OF their own goal line and Hal
lowell, rushing in from right end, fell
on the ball for the first towndown OF
the game. A punt-out was success
fully executed but Glass missed the
try at goal.
Peoria then kicked of to Rock Is
land and in few minutes the ball had
been rushed back within the shadow
OF the yisitors' goal The Peorians
held for downs with the ball only a
matter OF incnes from goal and kick
