Wise Words From Cardinal Gibbons

Chicago Inter-Ocean: That profound
thinker, James, Cardinal Gibbons,
preached a sermon last Sunday at the
ancient cathedral in Baltimore con
corning the election. 1t was. OF
course, nonpartisan, and it's sound 40.
vice and far-seeing common sense
made it worthy Of careful reading by
every American citizen.
Every word of the sermon may be
read with profit. It was calm, sans
patriotic. And there are some phrases
which stand out like letters Of fire
and are well worth repetition. He
said.
1t Is my profound conviction that i!
ever the republic is doomed to decay
if the future historian shall ever re
cord the decline and fall Of the Amer
lean republic, its downfall will be
due, not to a hostile invasion, but tc
the Indifference. lethargy and politi
eal apostasy of her own sons. And II
all citizens are bound to take an In
terest in public affairs. that duty es
pecially deyolyes upon those who are
endowed with superior Intelligence
and education and who ought to be
the leaders and exemplars of the peo
pie, guiding them in the path of polft-
ical recitude.
That arraignment of the man who
neglects his duty as citizen should
be taken to heart by every American
We must realize that the destinies OF
the republic are the sacred heritage
of each OF us, and nothing shouio
stand in the way of our giving them
our personal attention.

Neati

A Washington man called upon a
charming but homely woman, who had
not long before had her portrait paint
ed. The artist had done his work we'll,
from a friendly point of view, and the
lady was correspondingly pleased.
She was not. however, so blind as not
to see that the portrait was, as one
might say, trifie "idealized.'
As she exhibited it to her caller she
said: What do you think Of It? Has
not the artist rather fattered mel"
The visitor looked at the picture,
then at the lady, and with an eloquent
sigh answered: "Ah, my dear lady,
how could painter sit in your COM
pany and not fatter your"

doctors said that before death the
slayer had fastened his teetD in the
child.s neck.
The police were in touch with the
Buffalo authorities today prepared to
follow any clues that might develop
there which would be useful here.
However, they do not think the miss
ing murderer was a native of New
York. They are inclined to believe
the Buffalo theory that he is Bos-
ton man, in extremely well.to-do cir
cumstances, who has mania for
murder and goes far afield when he
feels the desire coming on. However,
they do not believe that he will sur
render.

thing but his present whereabouts is
known to the officers Of the law, Off
cials here declare.
Chief Of Police Ray r. ellison OF
I.ackawanna says publicly that an ar
rest may be made before night.
It is learned that the alleged mu-
derer OF the Josephs BOY was employ
ed up to year ago, by the Lacka-
wanna Steel Co.; that he was well
connected socially; that In his right
mind he was a valuable employe; tina.
there were times when he exhibited
the characteristics Of the pervert;
that he frequently was absent from
the steel city for weeks at a time /;
that when he finally was driven out
of the Lackawanna steel plant, he
went to Boston.
1t is understood that up to Sunday
week ago. he was In Boston but at
the first hint Of the discovery of ne
body of the boy, he left.
