by Edna Dean Proctor and read TO the
great company that assembled at the
dedication ceremonies by ono OF the
officers of the association.
The setting apart by the State of
New Hampshire of the birthplace and
childhood home Of Daniel Webster as
memorial reservation was chiefly
due TO the efforts OF William T..

President Arthur, and who served for
two terms in the United States Senate

ANOTHER FOE.

Big business is the new foe of the
liquor traffic. It insists upon having
not only sober man but the total
abstainer. 1t looks askance upon the
man who, however efficient or bril-
liant, muddles his brain with liquor.
The moderate drinker may be and is
oftimes capable workman, but the
men who invest money in various
enterprises place no dependence upon
him. They seek the steady-nerved
workers who are able to cope with an
emergency and to render adequate
service, and they are unanimous in
declaring that such men are total abb
stainers. The manager Of a firm en-
ploying 300 men says that it is only
common sense to state that a strictly
sober man is worth more to his COM
pany and that the firm expects to be
more than repaid by the improvement
in the service it will get from sober

My dear Catholic people, as re-
lligion is the chief pillar of our gov
eminent, SO are our Catholic schools
under Providence the chief prop OF
our religion. AS we love religion and
country, therefore, so should we love
our schools. That you do love them
| it is unnecessary for you to declare.
You need only point to that vast net
work of educational institutions which
extends from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific-institutions built and main
tanned without state aid and at the
cost of untold sacrifices. You need
only point to those noble bands of men
and women-your own sons and
daughters-whose lives you have con-
secrated to the glorious work of
Christian education My only exhor-
tation is that you cultivate deeper
love for your schools of higher educa-
tion-your academies, colleges and
universities. These, it is. more than
the others that have given to the
Church that intellectual and moral
power which has made her positive
force in the solution of the worlds
problems. These it is that have made
possible our primary and grammar
schools, "As the sun glids the noun
tain tops before his light floods the
plains" so the lower education pre-
supposes the higher 1t is with knowl-
edge as it is with goodness. We can
not have the good and the better with
out the best. There must be stand
ard of perfection, or else there will be
no means of measuring it's varying de-
grees. God is the only ultimate source
of knowledge and virtue, but He has
made the great mountain peaks of
humanity the reservoirs whence He
distributes knowledge and virtue to
those that walk in the valleys of life.
These mountain peaks are our higher
| institutions of learning with their
great teachers, who loving knowledge
for itself have become its fountain
heads, and who, walking upon the up
ward path of the Evangelical counsels,
teach our children to tread more Sc
curely the lower way of the Com
mandments. Our higher schools, then,
should make special appeal to your
generosity, because they are the
source of all the benefits you derive
from the others. Time was in this
country-and that not long ago-when
only non-CathoIic men of wealth con-
tributed to the endowment of schools
of higher learning. Thank God,
wealthy Catholics are beginning to re-
member during life and in their wills
those noblest and most life-giving of
all the Church's works-her colleges
and universities. May their number
increase.

ONE GOOD RESULT.

One thing we do expect from the
present nationwide agitation against
the liquor traffic., says the True
Voice. THE domination of the brew
cry and the saloon in politics will
cease. There has been too much OF

of it still in certain localities. But
the day of reckoning is drawing nigh.
The saloon will not disappear yet;
but its influence will considerably di-
minish. For this all good people can
