Cardinal Gibbons SeventY-Elght
Years Old.

AS happy as a boy out of school and
beaming with the spirit of optimism, Car
dinal Gibbons on Tuesday last celebrated
his seventy-eighth birthday at the home
of Mr.. 7. Herbert Shriver, near Union Mills,
Carroll county.
AS the Cardinal looked down Tuesday
upon his long life. he repeated his optimism
in the world about him and viewed with
confidence the future.
For a brief moment in conversation he
touched upon the awakening of his follow
countrymen on political conditions. express
ing his belief that the men Of today are
guided in the exercise of the ballot more
by the voice of what is conducive to the
cOuntry's interest than has been the case
in the past.
81 think" said the Cardinal, that the
great mass of voters are more intent upon
principles than they are upon men. They
are learning to think for themselves. They
are breaking away from the habit of blindly
following leaders. no matter where such
leaders would lead them. They are more
concerned with what a man says than
with who says il"
The Cardinal discussed. too. the high
cost of living and said that he believed
that the reason why the people OF years
ago lived more cheaply than do their chill
dren of to-day was because Of the fact that
they had not many Of the luxuries enjoyed
by the people of to-day and because. too.
they were more thrifty. He said
People cannot live luxuriOusly without
paying for it, In making a comparison OF
the way we live today and the way our
ancestors lived in years gone by, we must
realize that we cannot expect TO partici-
pate in the comforts Of life without paying
dearly for them. There is one thing that
we should be mindful of. and that is that
we owe grateful recognition to Divine
Providence. which gives us an opportunity
to participate in these domestic comforts
Il do think. however. that some of the
people of today could follow the example
of thrift set them by their forefathers
Thrift is not incompatible with real enjoy
ment. The spendthrift is not the happiesI
of men. Nature. content with little
teaches US lesson
MAN wants but little here below
Nor wants that little long.
Thrift and economy give the best hope
Of green old age. There are not many
things in life which are needed to make
us happy and contented. II we make use
of these few things in a sensible way W.
will live wisely and well.

Governor Marshall's Tribute To
His Mother.

[Gov. Thomas R. Marshall, of Indiana.l
think back through the years, the lean
and the fat, the good and the bad ones,
to my earliest recollection. see woman
with an eye that flashes swift as an arch
angels wing and a mouth that breaks
with laughter and hardens at sight of
wrong. singing lullabies; woman who,
with hand graspine the Unseen Hand, walks
the briar- bordered paths of life unashamed,
unafraid, unframed. She is clad in gar
ments of beauty for me, and age does not
soil them nor years make them cheap and
tawdry. Her tongue is without guile, hav-
ing never been the messenger of lie.
1t is seventeen years since her soul went
home to God and her fingers became for
me the fingers of an angel, but have not
forgotten all she said. She told me there
was Santa Claus. and believe her. He
brings me no LONGER drums and flies. But
he still brings to me the vision of my
mother and the music of that angelic
chorus which sang at creations dawn and
at the hour of mans redemption.

A progressive is one who is moving for

pertains to the handiwork Of man. A
progressive is seeking TO make improve

provement is possible. As the trend is
more and more toward popular govern
ment. the progressive is. Of course, going
In that direction. He has faith in both
the right Of the people to safe government
and their capacity for government.
He believes that government is secure
and strong in proportion as II draws its
maturity from the people and is reponsibe
to the will Of the people.
The progressive favors justice in govern
ment and believes that this can be secured
through the application in all departments
Of his government Of Jefiersonian doctrine
Of equal rights to all. II follows that, to
be a progressive. one must be in position
TO do his own thinking. No one can be
expected to 90 forward II he must ask
permission Of the benefciaries Of privilege
and favoritism. A progressive. in other
words. Is free man whose sympathies are
with the people and who has the intelligence
to see what needs to be done and has the
