VOYAGE WITH A PRINCE
OF THE CHURCH e wxw

The following article will be inter-
esting to Catholic readers as coming
from the pen of a non-Catholic, Will
liam P. Andrews. 1t appeared in the
Christian Register under the above
caption:
ut has been said that one never
knows man really we'll till one has
taken a voyage with him. Certainly
one could hardly realize the depth of
personal affection surrounding Car
dinal O'Connell till one had seen the
outpouring of devotion from the thou
sands who came to Charlestown to
bid him Godspeed on his journey to
Rome. Nor could one appreciate the
advance that his race had made under
our free opportunities for everyone.
LAS a son of the Puritans, it is
sometimes hard for the old settler to
do justice to another race which con-
stitutes a newer element in the COM
munity we have known and loved from
childhood. But the true American
must have been proud of that capable,
intelligent, well-dressed crowd Of
courteous people who surrounded that
fine result of two widely varying civ
ilizations, and whose career was about
to be crowned by the highest honor in
his chosen path of life.
"The Outlook of the week had spok-
en- of Cardinal OConnell as an aristo-
crat, as being at heart undemocratic,
and certain Protestant readers of that
journal began the voyage with him as
prejudiced against that notability as
was possible to be. Yet one by one
the preconceived dislikes fell away
from them, and turned to an admira-
ton Of qualities which we are glad
to feel distinctively American and
democratic in the best sense of the
word. The strength which comes from
simplicity, the love of humanity as
humanity, and the brotherhood of
man-this Cardinal O'CNynnell has in a
most marked degree, and it was evil
dent equally in his manner towards
all men, whatever their pretensions,
most noticeable, perhaps, in his hearty
recognition of any service rendered
him, his utter lack of that hauteur
which comes from an overweening
sense of the individuals own import
ance in the community.
This last is a quality which we
have come to associate with the hated
term taristocrat,' but this is a misuse
of the word, and with Ben Jonson.
we should protest such men mo aris-
tocracy.' For what is true aristocracy
but the strength that comes from the
cultivation of all that is best in life,
the quality which is contained in the
phrase 'noblesse oblige.' The true
aristocrat cannot be discourteous, be-
cause he feels the obligation of all that
is best in him to be considerable of
others-not to cast down, but to raise
up his brother man.
I'm this latter, better sense, Cardi-
nal O'Connell is really an aristocrat,
a man whose strength comes from
most ardent desire to give forth the
best that is in him for the upraising
of the world about him, to strive ever
for the best with this exalted and ex-
alting end in view.

A MERITED REBUkE,

Commissioner Valentines arbitrari-
ness in issuing an order prohibiting
the use of distinctive religious garbs
in Indian schools under the control of
the federal government deserved the
rebuke it was given in the letter which
President Taft sent to the Secretary
Of the Interior revoking the prohibi-
ton. AS Father Ketcham, Director Of
the Catholic Indian Missions, informed
President Taft, many of these schools
were originally Catholic institutions,
established by the Church to carry on
the work of educating and Christian
izlng the Indian. Now, the Govern
ment being in better position to
maintain these schools, arrangements
were entered into by which those in
Charge of the work after the transfer
had taken place and the schools pass
ed from the possession of the Cath
Ole Church, into the hands of the Fed
eral Governments 1t was obviously
not the place Of Commissioner Valen-
tine to issue such an order until the
matter had been thoroughly investi-
gated and the arguments for and
against such action had been heard.
In his letter the President says:
Il fully believe in the principle of
the separation Of the Church and
State, on which, our Government is
based, but the questions presented by
this order are Of great Importance and
delicacy. They arise out of the fact
that the Government has for con-
siderable period taken for use of the
Indians certain schools heretofore be-
longing and conducted by distinctive
religious societies or churches. AS a.
part of the arrangement Thea made
the school employees then employed
which were in many cases members
of religious orders wearing the dis
tinctive garb of these orders, were
continued as teachers by the Govern
ment, and by ruling of the Civil Serv-
Ice Commission or by Executive &C
ton they have been included in the
classified ser"ice under the protection
of the civil service law.
THE Commissioners order almost
necessarily amounts to discharge
from the Federal service Of those who
have entered it. This should not be
cone without careful consideration of
all phases of the matter nor without
giving the persons directly affected an
opportunity to be heard. AS the order
would not in any event take effect I'M
til the beginning of the next school
year, I direct that it be revoked and
the action by the Commissioner of In
dian Affairs in respect thereto sus-
pended until such time as will permit
full hearing to be given to all par
ties In interest and conclusion: to be
reached in respect to the matter after
full deliberation."
This is only simple Justice. Any
thing less than thorough investiga-
ton of the matter would reflect dis
credit on the Government.

THE BELFAST MEETING.

The Ulster Liberal Association held
their meeting in Belfast and Mr..
Churchill, Mr.. Redmond and Mr.. Dew
lin explained the position Of the Ma
tionalist party on Home Rule and
Ulster did not fight! 1t would not
be becoming for any one to say, II
told you So" because the result was
so palpable that no one needed to be
told. The way the Orangemer tried
to unshouder their contumely is
highly amusing.
The meeting was originally planned
to be held in Ulster Hall. With STRAIT
egy becoming third sergeant of a
Boy Scout company, the Unionists
leased the hall for the evening pre-
ceding that on which the Liberal DEM
onstration was to take place. After
the meeting, according to this ingen.
ious plan, the crowd was not to dis.
perse but stay in possession of the
hall long enough to interfere with the
holding Of the Liberal meeting The
genius in whose fertile brain that Won
drous idea took root ought to be
crowned with fools cap) King of
Ulster and straight way throned in a
conspicuous place in the British mu-
scum.
The gist of the whole matter was
the Liberals secured the Celtic foot
ball field and had rousing Home Rule
demonstration. Mr.. Churchill out
lined his Home Rule policy and MIR.
Redmond and Mr.. Devlin vaporized
some of the principal Home Rule
arguments cmanating from the north
ern province.
When the Orangemen saw that they
had been outwitted by the Ulster Lib
eral Association without the latter Or
ganization having to concede a mite
Of principal they protested that their
only purpose was to prevent the hold
ing of the meeting in Ulster Hall.
That in itself is rather strange vag-
airy. They do not object to the hold
ing Of Liberal meetings in Belfast just
SO they are not held in the sacrosanct
region Of Ulster Hall. And Ulster Hall

died Monday night at the fort hospi-
However the Belfast meeting should
turn out 1t was certain to help the
cause Of Homo Rule. If there had
been rioting it would have placed those
who had melted the riots in a bad
light before the country. AS it was
Ulster unfalrness was shown and the
cause was helped without any harm
having been done to any one. The
outcome is another evidence of the
shrewdness and far sightedness of the
Irish leader. He has given further
evidence of his ability to cope with
the difficult situations in which he has
been placed.
The outcome of the Belfast meeting
ought to put the quietus on the UNI
necessary and groundless babel about
the objections of the northern prov
ince to Home Rule. It's a noise, a
big noise and nothing but noise.

ut is the keynote of all those admir-
able Sermons and Addresses which
have just been printed in three vol
umes by the Riverside Press-a book
of which we ALL as good Americans.
whatever our religious faith, may we'll
be proud, whether we regard it as q
real contribution to our literature, as
an example Of admirable literary
style, or as book whose tendency
must be to forward all that is best in
American life. No Protestant can be
rightly offended by any passage in
this work. for the spirit that breathes
throughout its pages is Of the truest
Christian charity for all men.
In this primitive sense of the word
Cardinal O'Connell is an aristocrat,
and his high cultivation and intimate
association with the most cultivated
society of Europe lends to his graz
cious intention a charm of manner
which is growing too rare among all
peoples, and especially among our
own.
simplicity and real good-hearted-
ness are the keynotes of the man, and
if, in his official character he insists
on close observance of all the conven-
tionalities, it may be said of him, as
Whittier remarked of Charles Sum-
ner's grand demeanor, that his lofty
port was all for her. not for his per-
sonal ACKNOWLEDGMENT, but for the
Church which he loves, and we should,
as honest men, despise him if he did
not adore her.
elm his private capacity it would be
hard to find a more unaffected indi-
vidual and more simple good fellow
ship with all men, whom he shrewdly
estimates at their true valuation, en-
tirely regardless of their position or
surroundings. Such an attitude can
be of service in our democratic COM
munity, and service-service to the
State as we'll as to the Church-is the
dominant force in this strong cfarac-
ter. To have voyaged with Cardinal
O'Connell, and have been thrown into
intimate association with him for
fortnight, is to gain new faith in
the greatness Of the country that can
mould and produce such a well-bal-
anced nature, where obedience and
desire to serve go hand in hand with
the power and will to command for
the good of one and all.
eff in the intense modern desire for
personal knowledge Of the truth we
cannot place ourselves in that atti-
tude of perfect obedience to any es-
tablished authority, we can at least
recognize the Importance of that atti-
tude Of humility. and rejoice in it as a
virtue to be cultivated in every de-
partment of life.
Humility is not so common in our
rushing, successful American COM
munity, that we can afford to cast
aside any aid to the propagation of
that virtue; and, as simple parish
priest once said to the writer in Italy,
in the onward rush of our modern
existence the Catholic Church is at
least likely to prove greatly service
able as a brake, a restraining force,
which may keep us from plunging on
into utter destruction"
