leaders OF the Home Rule party Car
dinal Manning had publicly qualified
himself as Home Ruler. The Ma
tionalist newspapers and speakers
expressed in the most fervent terms
their admiration and gratitude for the
chivalry displayed by Cardinal Man
ming in coming to the rescue in his
letter to the Times" of Archbishops
Croke and Walsh. No inconsiderable
difficulties were experienced by Car
dinal Manning in explaining to criti-
cal friends his views as to Home
Rule. To one or two personages,
entitled by their intimacy or position
to question him, he gave a most sat
isfactory account, and left them under
the impression that his views as to
Home Rule and its limitations were
in full accord with their own. In a
letter dated St. Patrick's Day, 1891, to
Mr.. Justin Mccarthy, M. p, Cardinal
Manning said-"1 see Ireland rising
and recognizing itself, after a pass
ing observation, upon the old and
only lines which have unfolded its
noble life throughout the world"
The fear so widely felt in the North
of Ireland, that if ever the Nationalist
Party succeeded in forcing Home
Rule on the minority, the Protestants
of Ulster would suffer persecution at
the hands of the Catholics, Cardinal
Manning repudiated as an ignoble
suspicion. Catholic Ireland, the
martyr nation" he contended, had
never prosecuted their Protestant
neighbors in the matter of religion.
"The children of martyrs are not per-
secutors." The warm-hearted peo-
pie of Ireland were deeply moved by
such words of sympathy, expressed
with such delicate regard to their
national feelings and aspirations.
Though an Englishman, and for a
long time regarded with suspicion, in
the latter part Of his life, he was be-
loved not only by the Irish in Eng
land and in his own diocese, but by
the people of Ireland. Cardinal Man
ming, unlike his brother Bishops of
Ireland, and one of his own suffragan
bishops, was no militant Home Rul-
er. In spite of his boast that che
was second to Gladstone only as a
Home Ruler in England" the Arch
bishop of Westminster wisely bore
in mind that he had no call to play
the part of a politician. He OBJ
served, at all events in public, a
benevolent attitude between Home
Rulers and anti-Home Rulers.

The Correct Thing at Confession

It is the Correct Thing:-
For parents to have their children
go to confession as soon as they
reach the age Of reason, generally con-
sidered to be when they reach their
seventh year.
For adults to go to confession at
least one month, and oftener II ad-
vised to do SO.
For women and children and those
who are not employed during the day
to go to confession in the afternoon
and leave the evening for men and
women who must work for their liv.
ing.
To examine the conscience well and
with thoroughness before going into
the confessional, and thus avoid un
necessary delay.
For penitent to take his proper
turn in going into the confessional
and not to try to get in ahead of some
one else.
To courteously ask the one ahead
for his turn If it is absolutely impos
sible to wait.
For a woman of leisure and piety tc
offer her turn to man in a hurry
or workingman whose time is pre-
cious.
To reserve all matters extraneous
from present sins about which one
may want the advice of the priest fol
some other time than Saturday even
ing, when the confessional is sur
rounded by weary waiting sinners.
To speak in a whisper, but distinct
ly. In a tone audible to the confessor
but not to those kneeling around the
confessional.
To recite the Confiteor before going
into the confessional, If time is a con
sideration.
To begin with the formula, Father
bless me, for I have sinned. Since my
last confession which was one month
ago" Tor one week, two weeks, as the
case may beg. Il have"-then follow
the sins.
To tell the number of times sir

cause they want to have good time,
partly because Of athletics, partly be-
cause Of social distinction, partly be-
cause they have heard companions a
little older tell stories of particular
college life. All Of these are absurd
reasons, some of them even vicious.
Physicians are now agreed that COM
petitive athletics do much more harm
to health than good, the fraternities
and social life have ruined scholar
ship. and social distinction has hurt
the fine democratic life and conse-
quent influence that used to mean so
much in our educational institutions.
Send your boy and your girl to an
institution where Catholic discipline
will mean much for the training Of the
will. It may seem sacrifice Of op.
portunity. It is not really, for none Of
us who were educated in Catholic col.
leges that fact, and know many who
have envied me the education given
me by Catholic training, and know
that many other Catholic graduates
are to be envied for their scholarship
If it seems sacrifice there could be
no better example to give the young
folks than your readiness to make II
for them In order that they might
have proper influences. If you do not
make 1t, remember the example that
you give them of being willing to sac
rifice their deeper spiritual interests
for the sake of material or social con
siderations. Do not expect them a lit
tie later in life to be willing to make
sacrifices for their faith. They have
not been shown how.

Knights of Columbus in Baseball

The Knights of Columbus mean a
great deal for the perpetuation of
our national game. There is not a
club in any of the big leagues that
has not from two to half a dozen
Knights of Columbus under contract.
These men, many of them veterans
of the game, have proved their re-
markable influence for good, not
alone by their sound advice but their
conduct, their physical, mental and
moral training. I know for a fact
that the personal lives of these men
have often influenced erratic, stub
born and independent ball players.
These young Knights of Columbus
attending strictly to their religious
duties, give a splendid lesson in self
denial and discipline. Discipline is
everything to the professional ball
player and naturally no player could
be more subject to discipline than a
good Knight of Columbus.
They come from many sections Of
the country and at once show real
brotherly feeling. 1t is not surpris-
ing therefore that the game is spoken
of with increased respect wherever
the Knights gather.
The personal influence of the bali
playing Knights is not only a benefit
to the players with whom they min.
gle, but also to small army of fans
who watch every move of the player
and love the very ground he walks
on. I have met many of these
knights during the last ten years and
found that while they were loyal tc
their Order they never looked TO,
any aid to pull them through but
relied on their own natural ability tc
make good.
I have not room here to mention
the great number of Knights in the
baseball profession, but to show how
their local Councils follow them

success that they insist that the local
papers give a full description of Mr.
Bcehling at his work whenever he
appears on the ball field, and when
Brother Joe returns each fall he is
presented with a substantial gift
This is only one of the many cases
that I can cite. Now while these
ball playing Knights are, by their
conduct, doing splendid work for the
elevation of the game, the great body
of Knights all over the country are
doing more for the national game
than any other society of men.
In the last few years I have ad'
dressed several leading Councils each
winter. Wherever I have gone to
talk baseball the halls have been
literally crowded and the treatment
have received we'll paid me for the
time and trouble. For I could well
appreciate what a national society

has been committed, also any circum-

like the Knights of Columbus could
do for our young men by giving
encouragement to the national game.
l have talked for hours at these
Councils and the Knights never
seemed to grow tired of stories of
the ball field, of its actors, the vet
Grams passed out and the unpublished
stars breaking into the armament.
The attention that these Knights
give to baseball is supremely inter-
esting. They were all of an age
when they could attend the games
and all fixed with the wherewithal
to pay their way and they seemed
to appreciate what the sport meant
to our country, what it meant to our
youth, what it meant for discipline
and the stubborn resistance it had
for anarchy and Socialism. For the
ball player is taught to respect the
leader and pull together for one OBJ
pect, that the game may grow better
at the time of growing stronger
financially.
I know that in Philadelphia Broth
er Charlie Doom, manager of the
Phillies, has done much for his team
through the support of the Knights
of Columbus. Doom himself is a
willing, agreeable, grand young fell
low who makes hosts of friends, and
they, finding that he has executive
ability, naturally back up his propo-
sition and strengthen his hands by
their loyal and liberal support. Per-
haps one of the greatest ball play
ing Knights we ever had was Her
mann Long, the famous Boston
shortstop of the nineties, without any
question in my mind the most bril-
liant infelder that ever wore a pair
of spiked shoes. Hermann Long was
a Chicago German who emigrated to
Boston, got tied up with the Hugh
Duffy, Tom Mccarthy angel boys
crew, and one warm evening in June
was escorted to Mt. Pleasant Coun-
Gil of Roxbury. They tell me they
gave Hermann Long a grand time
that evening, for he was fully weel,
getting over it and smiling all the
time.
Speaking of Knight Hugh Duffy,
who gave up big league baseball to
promote club in Portland, Maine,
I would like to announce that Mr..
Duffy made very big success of it
the first season out last year, and in
confidence tell you boys that Sir
Hugh cleaned up in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000 for his seasons work.
Duffy was some base runner and to
his other accomplishments has add
ed golf and is considered one of the
very best golf players in greater Bos-
ton.
Marty O'Toole of the Pirate crew
and Bill Sweeney of the Chicago
Clubs, are couple of good Knights
who are thoroughly liked in greater
Boston, as no doubt they are in the
cities they play for. In another
article I will try and make a per-
sonal mention of many of the good
Knights now on the diamond earn
ing big salaries.-The Columbiad.

This is the season of the year when
a great many parents are considering
seriously where they should send their
children for their higher education.
There is no doubt, says DR.. James j.
Walsh. that for most of them all their
future career is to be shaped by the
associations that they will form dur
ing the four or more years following
that decision. Not only that but the
future family life will probably be
deeply Influenced by that same deci-
sion. 1t must not be forgotten that
boys bring their .schoolmates home
with them and go to the homes of
their schoolmates In turn and that
families are brought into intimate re-
lations through their growing young
folks. In more than half the cases a
boys sisters, IL he has them in the
plural any more, marry the young
men that they meet through their
brothers. At least that is the bet.
ter way. Quite frequently those whom
collegian's sister meets during the
course Of visits at college, when of
course her main business is to see her
brother, but when her eyes are not
held and she does not fail to see
other peoples brothers and sometimes
realize their admiration for herself,
become dearer and nearer to her than
her own.
This impending educational decision
then, is one Of the most important
things for family life. In our time it
has come to be much more largely
made by the children themselves, or
let us call them the young folks, than
used to be the custom. "This is the
age of the child" someone has pro-
claimed, and IL that means that the
children of families have become the
rulers there would seem to be some
truth in 1t. In one month I noted
half dozen strikes in the schools
here in the East. Now a school strike

I remember that did not dare even
go home and tell that had been pun

have been punished again at once just
to support authority, and then after
that further investigation would be

hand in their education who will urge
to be allowed to have such educa-
tional opportunities as will give them
as much freedom as possible. Unfor-
tunately by the law of heredity it is
unfortunately the parents of such
children who are least likely to be
firm in making selection that will be
best for the young folks because Of the
training that it will afford. These are
not the days when discipline is held
high in honor in education nor in life
generally. but it must not be forgot
ten that 1t is the most precious ele-
ment in all education.
There are only two institutions, that
have not been the subject of severe
criticism by men who were thorough
ly friendly to them. knew them very
well, and wanted to be helpful to their
usefulness In education. These two
that have escaped censure are the
Military Academy at West Point and
the Naval Academy at Annapolis.
Quite needless to say, there is no
question of the elective system nor of
trusting young men to train them
selves SO as to bring out what is best
In them nor any of the other curious
educational notions that have been
bruited in educational circles in re-
cent years, at Annapolis or West
Point. The watchword at each of
them is discipline. That is the ground
work of all education.
Talking with Mr.. Horace Taft at
the National Arts Club Open Table not
long since (Mr. Taft is ex-President
Taft's brother and the Principal of
the Taft School at New Haven for
many years), we agreed that the def.
milton of an educated man might well
be that he is man who can sit down
and devote himself for two hours to q
subject that he does not like and make
something out Of 1t. Such a man has
trained mind, he has a mind in dis.
cipline. and under control. Remem-
Der what happens at West Point and
Annapolis. Those institutions receive
their students by appointment from
Congressman. Political influences of
all kind are used to secure admission.
They get some excellent material, but
some of the students would seem to be
about as undesirable material as could
we'll be imagined. At the end Of four
years their students are turned out as
educated gentlemen. We are proud of
them. Do not forget that we are main
ly proud of them because of what dis
cipline has done for them. They did
what they were told or they got out.
The training has done much, the Sc
lective rejection process has done the
rest.
The most important budapest in
the selection of a school for the boy or
girl then is the question of discipline.
Where will the training. not only Of
the intellect BIZ: .; the will, be proper
ly given? To give youth an education
of the mind without a training Of the
will, is most dangerous. The intellect
does not rule human passions. That
is the business Of the will.

attempt to control human passions by
the intellect is a. futile AZ to tie up
