Manifestation of Heroic Spirit.

From your be,l of pain you have
proved what heroic spirit may ac-
compISh in spite of material him
ORANGES. With resources of health and
energy that seem almost mira culousIy
feeble you have shown to the vigorous
manhood and womanhood of America
what sublime harvest divine zeal may
gather for God And all this you have
done in spirit of self -immolat ton and
Christian womanly virtue which has
edited humanity and made you very
dear to Christ.
Therefore the University of Notre
Dame bestows upon you the Laetare
medal for the year of our Lord 1915
and esteems itself privileged to be per-
mltted to lay this tribute at the feet
of one whose beautiful and fruitful life
has added dignity to human nature and
g]orified the Church of Cod
DIR. Cavanaugh then handed the medal
to Mgr. James F.. Mackin of ST. Paul's
Church, who. as pastor of the recipient
for twenty-five years. presented it to
her, saying that as he had never re-
the next best thing was to have tho
pleasure of presenting one to one OF
his parishioners.
Rev. DR.. William J. kerby of the
catholic University, spiritual director
of the Christ Child Society and a mos,
earnest supporter of Miss Merrick's
plans for the advancement of the work
of the organization, responded for her
saying that the medal was. of course
not to be priced for it's intrinsic value
but for what 1t represented. and recall
ed an incident related of Napoleon
who, when bestowng the medal of the
Legion of Honor. was asked why he
valued such toys and replied that fame
in the world consisted in just such
toys. DR.. kerby made a plea for more
activity among heads of schools in in
teresting pupils in charitable work and
more activity among charitable organ
izations in the advancement of school
work among their charges

sity of Notre Dame, her grateful ac-
acknowledgement and deep sense of sin
cere and heartfelt appreciation, and to
assure you that the proud distinction

where feelings and emotions which,
though responsive and true, may not,
in their fullness, be expressed In words.

sity SO carefully guarded in its be-
stowal. SO coveted and SO priced by
laymen who have scaled the loftier

women who have lived and loved and
labored for God and humanity.
And. DIR. Cavanaugh. we who for
twenty-five years have watched and
wondered at the marvel wrought by
this child of destiny. who upon the
foundation of her own sufferings, sor-
rows and sacrifices has builded, in
spired and is still directing an or
sanization powerful. active and eff
cient. and now extending into every
section of this broad land for the care,
the comfort and guidance Of Gods lit
tie ones, the children of the poor, and
who has brought and is bringing to the

knowledge of the love and charity of
the Christ Child--we who have seen ALL
this spring from the heart and brain
of a child and by her ability and zeal
and love and patient courage fash
Toned into lines OF amazing growth and
usefulness. Will bear willing testimony
to the fact that in your selection for
the year 1915 you have added to the
roster of the Laetare the name of one
who will give even an increased luster
and greater glory to the company of
your creation.

HONOR AND PROFITS.

The resignation of army officers to
accept places in private munition fac
tories is becoming a serious matter.
Some of the government ammunition
and ordnance works are said to be
crippled by deseriions. The secretary
of war is considering whether or not
TO refuse the designations that are
coming in constantly increasing num-
bers
The situation is natural enough.
The private manufacturers. having OBJ
ligated themselves TO turn out big war
orders, find that they need experts to
supervise the work. The men they
need are in the employe of the gov
eminent. They must have the experts
at any price. They offer the army men
two or three times their present sal
aries The bait is tempting. An Off
GERS pay is never large, considering
the position he has 10 maintain. Like
every other man he yearns for
comfortable home and competence.
But there is also the question of
honor An officer is trained at West
Point at the expense of the nation.
For that, he is expected 10 give the
nation at least eight years of honest
service. The spirit of the army has
always been opposed to designations
even at the expiration OF that time.
The army has had its professional
pride, its traditions of unselish SER
vice. it's lofty disregard of money. no
less than have the teaching and cler-
zeal professions.
1t is a pity for the army and the
country if that spirit is 10 be sur

tiful supply of officers ready for in

DECENCY PAYS.

When the Grand Duke Nicholas
abolished the vodka traffic in Russia
last summer ne probably had no
notion OF the immense reform he was
starting. His idea was simply to mo-
Billie the army without the usual de-
lay due To drunkenness.
The device worked so we'll that the
government soon declared the en-
barge on vodka permanent. And the
Russian government hardly realized
what it was doing. The czar-who
seems To be a sincere. well-meaning
man of rather small caliber-had in
mind chiefly the reform of public
morals. He was willing TO pay the
price, and it seemed a high one. Ii
meant giving up the income derived
from the government monopoly OF
vodka. just at the time when the gov
eminent needed every rouble it could
get hold of TO pay the expenses of its
greatest war.
The result astonished everybody
including the car Never was there
a more striking exemplification of the
doctrine that decency pays

sumption in European Russia from

against this are set two big facts.
First. the erstwhile vodka drinking
peasants have increased their savings
bank deposits 500 To 500 per cent. and
! the net gain in deposits for the current
year is estimated at S176.OOO.OO0. The
government is authorized by law to
invest such funds in government
bonds and so these increased savings
are Immediately available for war ex-
penses. That leaves only $4,000, 600

CONSPIRACY TO HUMILIATE
DEMOCRATS.
Evansville Courier.

The ambitious young republican
prosecutor Of Marion county rather
overstepped himself. BY securing the
indictment of Thomas Taggart, Mayor
Bell and Chief of Police Perrott he
has disclosed, what for his purposes
should have been carefully concealed,
the political animus of the proceed
ings.
The rumor has been going the
rounds that the more ambitious at
tempt of indicting Gov. RalstOn had
been actually considered. What sort Of
conspiracy the governor was guilty of
was not made quite clear.
Now, no one believes that Mayor
Bell. Thomas Taggart or the other
prominent democrats mentioned had
any hand or direction in any of the
election offenses alleged. Men of
their position in politics are not out
jacking voters or procuring others to
commit these crimes.
No one expects a conviction in the
election cases, Notwithstanding all the
judicial machinery of Marion county
is in the hands of republicans The
purpose is not to convict but TO hu-
initiate and scandalize prominent
democrats. 1t is a process that has
been going on in New Albany. kO-
komO and other parts Of the state. 1t
Of batch of legislators and state Of
ficials last fall.
To lug in Dom Roberts was
rather coarse bit of work. Dom is a
very energetic person, but some peo-
ply may doubt his physical ability to
do all the things charged against him
in Terre Haute and yet have time to
corrupt the honest electorate of
Marion county.
The palpable purpose Of bringing in
Dom Roberts is TO connect in minds
of the public the conditions in Terre
Haute with those in Indianapolis. The
object is 10 show some sort Of esoteric
connection between the conduct OF the
election in Terre Haute and in In
dianapolis, or else to give the impress
sion that a sameness existed.
But we think the instigators OF the
indictments have gone so far as to
discredit themselves. What Is needed
is a probe Of the conspiracy, Tar
reaching and cunningly managed, 10
have prominent democrats in all parts
of the state scandalized and humil-
lated
