EDITORIAL NOTES


Archbishop John Irela1d, of St Paul,
one of the most distinguished of the
Catholic churchmen of America, will
be the recipient of congratulations to-
day on his seventy-fifth birthday. The
venerable religious leader has won the
respect and affection of men of all
creeds. His elevation to the Sacred
College of Cardinals was long ago pre-
dicted, but as yet that honor has been
withheld
Born in the green isle the name of
which he bears, on Sept. IL, 1888, John
Ireland came to America in boyhood,
and was educated at the Cathedral
school in the Minnesota capital Later
he studied theology in France, and was
ordained to the Roman Catholic priest
hood in 1861. During the civil war he
served as chaplain of the Fifth Mime
sofa regiment. After the war he be-
came rector of the ST. Paul cathedral.
In 1884 he succeeded to the See of
after entering the priesthood, he was
consecrated bishop of Maronea, and CO.
adjutor to Bishop Thomas L. Grace.
In 1884 he succeeded to the see of
st. Paul, and in 1888 he was. named
archbishop.
The Archbishop has always been
outspoken in his opinions. and all his
utterances command g, large and re-
spectful audience. On the occasion of
the convention of the Federated Cath
Ol1c SOc1et1eS IN milwaukee last month
Archbishop Ireland delivered one of
the principal addresses, taking for his
subject, Catholicism and American
ISM. The most alarming evil in
America today, he asserted, lis the
decay of religion, and, in necessary
sequence, the decay of morals. In both
instances the. cause Of the decay is
the enforced secuIarism of the State
schools He added: mot against
State schools as such do raise objec-
tions, but as to the method in which
they work-methods that, whatever the
theory be, do in fact consecrate secu-
larism as the religion of America"
Grace MacGowan Cooke for a quar-
ter of a century one of the favorite
woman authors of America, was born
in Grand Rapids, Mich, fifty years
ago today. Her education was receiv-
ed entirely at home, and she was only
fourteen when she became the bride
of William Cooke, of Chattanooga,
Tenn. . Her youth was spent in that
city, where her father Col. John E.
MacGowan, was military commander
of the district. In her youth she had
an ambition to became an illustrator,
but after her marriage abandoned that
idea. In beginning her literary career
Mrs Cooke followed in the footsteps
of her older sister, Alice MacGowan,
once rode alone. over thousand

of the South to obtain literary mater
iaI. Mrs. Coke began contributing to
the magazines in 1885, and from the
| first was highly successful. Her mi
tial attempt a novelist was made
in 1902, when, in collaboration with
Annie Booth Mckinney, she published
Mistress joy In the following year
she collaborated with her/sister, Grace
MacGowan, in writing Return,
Story of the Sea Islands, Since then
she has written 'Hu1da,'' "A Gourd
Fiddle" THE Grapp1e,'' s'The Power
and the Glory and 1.-THE Joy Bringer."
The latter novel has been called the
American Garden of AIlah.'' In gain
ing the material for this book Mrs.
Cooke spent some time among the Hopi
Indians, living on the reservation
among them just as they themselves
live. She discovered a variety of peach
grown by the Hopis of the Painted
Desert that was much more delicious
than the California peaches. Mrs.
Cooke is quite competent to make the
comparison, since she has lived in Cal
ifornia for many years. Mrs. Cooke
describes the Hopis very much re-
sennpIing the Egyptians, and their civ
iIization as being Of about the stone
age development.

posed in night in 1892 by Rouget de
Lisle, a young officer, during the siege
of Strasburg. Germany's patriotic
song, Die Wacht am Rhein," was
written in 1910, but it remained prac-
tically unknown until the Franco
Prussian war, when it became to the
Prussians what the ''Marseillaise' was

The French troops suffered severely in

Zeb Rush has asked the CITY for
SIS for calf which he alleges died
as the result of drinking from the
gas drip Of the city on their ea' gas
main. Some six months ago NJ.
Rush had calf die from the same

Business Matters Of
the Commission
A Busy Session for the Board
Monthly Bills Allowed

The regular meeting of the Board
of City Commissioners was held
Tuesday af ernoon.
One of the first matters to be
taken up was the reading of peti
ton asking for a sidewalk on the
west side of North Western Avenue
from Main to Oak Street. The
petition was signed by sixteen of
the property owners. The petition
was put in the form of an ordi'
nance by the &C mmission and placed
on first reading. Included IN this
ordinance is also half block of
sidewalk to be constructed on the
north side of Seventa Street from
the alley between Steuben and
Garfield west to Garfield Avenue
The sidewalk petitions which had
been received for the construction
of walks on North Central and
North Evergreen aad which had
been refereed to Commissioner
Johnson were investigated and the
petition for the walk on North
Central was placed On the table.
The reaso0 for its not beng taken
up was that so few people were to
be benefited by the walk. The
petition for the walk on North
Eyergreea north from Ash Street
was so indefinitely wordsd that i
was referred back to the petitioners
for amendment. The location Of
the walk is known however and
Col. J.. c. Carpenter, one of the
heaviest tax payers for the walk
said th2t he would be ready by fail
to Q his share of patting the walk
in.
The ordinance @acatins the
alley north of f. Street between
Katy and Ashby Avenue. was
passed
The monthly bills Including the
payroils IN the various depart
,nenls were allowed.
