THE OLYMPIC GAMES.

American athletes are proving
their prowess in the Olympic games
at Stockholm. They are demonstrat-
ing to the world that in the con-
tests for which ancient Greece was
famed they are worthy competitors.
The American team is making a rec
ord in which Americans may justly
take pride.
The makeup of the team is char
acteristic of our Heterogeneous popu-
lation. 1t Is a mixture of many elc-
ments. 1t is made up of young men
of German, French, Scandinavian and
Italian blood. There are negro
youths and Indians, Hawaiians and
Irishmen and men of Yankee stock.
It Is a representative team - repre-
sentative of our population as we'll
as of vast army Of athletes from
which it was chosen by preliminary
contests.
That America is able to put such
a team in the field Is an Indication
of the advanced condition Of whole
some sport in our country. Athletics
under proper supervision are to be
encouraged. They afford an outlet
for the excess energy of youth which
could easily find less worthy over
flow valve. There is, Of course, An
extreme in either direction. The
gruelling exercise Of the football field
is not always conducive to good
physical development. An athlete
may overtax himself in any of the
various contests. Good judgment
must always be counted on. But If
moderation is adhered to the result
Is sure to be beneficial. A nation Of
athletes means a nation Of manhood
that Is sound morally as we'll 70
physically.

tention has arisen over the right of
the United States to allow free pas
sage to our own ships and to dis
criminate against foreign vessels by
charging them a toll. Great Britain
claims that according to the terms of
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty foreign
ships are entitled to the same privi-
leges granted American ships. SEN
ator O'Gorman of New York declares
that such is not the spirit Of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty. He contends that
the United States has the right to
grant her own ships free passage
through the canal and that England
has no ground whatever for objecting.
Senator Lodge believes with Senator
O'Gorman that by the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty the United States does not
surrender it's right to allow free pas
sage to it's own ships, but he thinks
1t would be better to pass a bill by
which the tolls would be related to
American ships. Senator Cummins
does not think the canal case could
ever be submitted to the Hague court.
He said, II would as soon submit the
case to Great Britain alone" SEN
ator Percy and Senator Brandegee De-
lieve that American ships should not
be favored by the remission of tolls.
They contend that the United States
has granted equal right to all nations
including itself.
We are not familiar with the terms
of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, but it
does not seem that it could be the
spirit Of that treaty to bind American
vessels by the privileges given to for
eign vessels. No nation is going to
surrender its right to manage it's own
affairs. That is what the United
States would be doing If the Hay
Pauncefote treaty is to be construed
as Great Britain CONSTITUTES it.

A GENEROUS GIFT.

No better proof could be given of
the loyalty of the Hibernians to tine
faith of st. Patrick than the action
Of the recent convention in Chicago
by which the sum of $4,000 was Civ
en- to the Catholic Church Extension
society. This organizat ton, as is well
known, has for it's purpose the build
ing of Catholic schools and chapels
and the conducting of missions in
backward places where are to he
found scattering Catholic families
who are dependent on the charity OF
their more favored brethren for the
privilege of hearing Mass, receiving
the Sacramento and having their chill
dren baptized and brought up in the
faith.
By giving SO literally to the Elk
tension society the Hibernians are at
once proving the depth of their faith
and assisting in labor which is as
mertorious as any that can be done.
The amount of good that can be ac-
complished by $4,000 spent in bring
ing the Gospel to backward places,
where the people are seldom reminded
of the souls salvation and soon re-
lapse into careless Indifference, can
not be estimated. One Mass, one SER
mon often fans into flame the smoul-
dering embers ofs7a dead faith. One
word of advice spoken at a critical
time in a mans life will often save
him from a course which, once en-
tered upon. would make his conver-
sion hopeless. With the $4,000 which
the Hibernians have donated for this
purpose the Extension Society will be
able to bring the Gospel and the Sac
raments to many who would otherwise
never have that privilege.

to dethrone bosses and to right their
wrongs through the medium of the
ballot. They may be, and are, some
times betrayed by the men whom they
put in high places But the betrayal
cannot go on Indefinitely. Man is by
nature lover of justice and fair play.
The dishonest man must inevitably
wilt away under the hot sun of scorn.
Our government is happily not re-
pressive. All men are given an equal
opportunity to express their opinions
and to influence thought. Our gov
eminent is thus provided with ample
safety devices for relieving, the pres
sure of hostile opinion. Monarchies,
like corked bottles, burst when boil
ing takes place inside; democracies,
like uncorked bottles fume, but never
blow up on account of internal pres
sure.
Under our government there is no
need for civil war to right the indus
trial wrongs of any class. An appeal
to justice will accomplish more with
out the spilling of blood. We must
not think that Americans as people
are devoid of conscience. The ma
ton was never more ready to reward
right and punish wrong doing where
ever found than it is today. The time
has come when crime has ceased to
have one meaning for a corporation
and another for an individual.

CONFIDENCE IN THE PEOPLE,

Some days ago Senator Bailey made
the statement that if conditions in
the United States We're to continue
for the next thirty years the way they
are now the nation would be the
scene of civil war as bloody as the
French Revolution. Cardinal Gibbons.
commenting on the statement heartily
dissents from Senator Baileys view.
He says he has more confidence in
the people of this country than to be-
lieve that such condition could
come to pass. THE men of the coun-
try like to shout their ideas from the
rostrum." said the Cardinal. ''o.her
countries could not do this. In this
the founders of the republic showed
inspiration. This government is like
wheels within wheels. Though some
great calamity should come to the big
wheel, the central government, as
Senator Bailey fears. the little wheels
of the state. city and county govern
ments would move on"
So long as our government is a

pie by the people an industrial revo-

The Socialists are preparing to test
the constitutionality of the new pri-
mary law. They say the provision
requiring candidates for city offices
to file as non-partisans is discrim-
nation against them. Under the new
law the names of the two candidates
at the primaries receiving the highest
number of votes will be placed on the
ballot at the general election. This,
the Socialists think, is ar effort to
eliminate their candidate from the
general election ballot entirely.

Congressman Nye in a speech in
the House OF Representatives We'd
nesday which was warmly received
took an Indirect fling at Mr.. Roose-
welt when he said: "a man to be a
true reformer must not be an office
seeker There is too much finn fam,
too much hippodrome in many of the
specious pretensions and arguments
Of many reformers." Mr.. Nye is
right. There are too many Sophists
and self-seekers among our polit-
clans. Too many of the men who
are prating about the country's woes
and letting off high sounding but alb
stract and meaningless speeches are
thinking of nothing more than their
own interests.

THE THIRD PARTY MOVE.

When Mr. Roosevelt met his defeat
at the Chicago convention he declared
his willingness to lead a new party,
but he advised delaying action until
public opinion could De sounded. 1t
Is now obvious enough that he in
tended to go forward with the forra-
ton of the proposed party regardless
of what the people thought about his
action. His ruse was to wait and see
what the Democrats would do at Bal
timore. If they failed to nominate a
satisfactory candidate his case would
be strengthened and he would be Civ
en- credit for prudence and the desire
to be guided by public opinion; il on
the other hand the Democrats named
a man who was satisfactory to all
elements of the party he would still
have the same excuse for becoming a
candidate. Now Mr.. Roosevelt ia de-
termined to run at the cost of wreck
ing the party that honored him with
the presidency and in the face of the
fact that the Democrats have put in
the field a man who is sanely progress
slve and beyond all question more
popular than Mr.. Roosevelt himself.
What then is the issue which ne
cessitates Mr.. Roosevelt's candidacy?
What is the principle at stake that
this man who was twice president
should seek the office third time,
contrary to the precedent established
with the founding of this republic?
All of Mr.. Roosevelts ideas are to be
found in the platforms of the other
parties. Why then is it necessary for
MIN to found new and independent
party? There is but one reason: Mr..
Roosevelt wants to be president
The question to be decided by this
years campaign is whether this re-
public has reached stage where its
well-being is dependent on the will of
any single individual Have we only
one man out of a population of nearly
hundred millions who is really COM
petent to rule? If we have reached
that pass, then by all means let us
crown Roosevelt king and say no more
about 1t. If we are convinced we
have not, We should welcome the on
portunity to give popular express
sion of opinion on the issue that Mr..
Roosevelt's ambition has created. The
coming election will fix precedent
for the guidance of ambitious men of
the future who feel that their 'coun-
try's welfare is dependent on their in
dividual effort.

THE ALDERMAN CONVENTION.

The Hibernian convention which was
held in Chicago last week proved the
genuineness of its Catholicity and its
patriotism by taking an absolute
stand against the spread of Socialism
in any of its forms. The sermon of
Bishop Carroll at the opening of the
convention calling on the members to
face the issue squarely and fight it
with all the energy of their being and
the subsequent adoption of a resolu-
ton against the spread of this delu-
slve and pernicious doctrine should
receive the hearty commentator Of
all who love their country and are
anxious to perpetuate the best form
of government that civilization has
evolved. regardless OF race or class
or creed.
The Hibernians have a large organ
ization in this country. They WELD
no inconslderable influence in the af-
fairs of the nation. They form a
body of patriotic men whose interests
are identical with the best interests
Of the country. Their outspoken and
determined opposition to propa-
ganda that wins support by delusion
will have good effect, the extent of
which will, of course, depend on how
conscientiously the individual mem
bers put into practice the spirit of
the convention.
which will receive the commentator
of loyal Irishmen throughout the
world was the passing of a resolution
congratulating the people of Ireland
on the progress they are making in
the direction Of Homo Rule. The
work of the Irish Nationalist party
has been such as to highly merit this
recognition. Ireland Is emerging
from the gloom of long years Of OPP
preston and poverty which have re-
suited from hostile laws made by a
foreign government. The new era is
full of promise for the country. 1t
holds out hope for an Ireland that
will administer her own internal af-
fairs. 1t has already seen the decay
OF landlordism and the return of the
people to agriculture. 1t has seen a
new impetus given to the developing
of home industries. 1t has seen the
stream of emigration drop to the low
|, water mark. 1t has seen the condi-
ton of the laboring man made better.
1t has seen the irish party, supported
by the people of Ireland and aided
financially by the Irish people Of other
nations, fight for and win these meas
ures against an opposition that gave
way only inch by inch. For this
heroic work done at the cost of great
personal sacrifice and effort the Irish
party deserves the commentator and
support Of every Irish organization in
! this and every other country. They
need such support to nerve them on
through the pending climax of their
great fight. The Hibernians in con-
vention did well to express their
gratitude for what Mr.. Redmond and
his colleagues have accomplished.
