A GLOWING TRIBUTE
CHICAGO ATTORNEY PAYS ELos
QUENT HOMAGE TO The
STARS AND STRIPES.

Speaking on behalf of the War
Work Fund in Chicago. a Catholic
attorney, Robert E. Cantwell, paid the
following masterful tribute to the
Stars and Stripes:
THAT flag represents the sublimest
and loftiest combination of principles
ever known to man, Liberty, Human
ity and Democracy. Red for Liberty,
Blue for Humanity, and White for
Democracy. 1t is the greatest flag
ever unfurled since the beginning of
time. That flag has carried more joy
to more humble hearth-stones than
any insignia of government that ever
f1oated in the sun-kissed breezes of
heaven.
I'VE find such red only in the ris-
ing and setting sun, when it bursts
above the Eastern and Western hori-
zon, with it's magnificent splendor, the
carnation, whose colors must be
brewed in the workshops of heaven,
in the flush of joy that nantes the
cheek of the young mother when she
feels for the first time her first born's
breath, and in the blood that flowed
in rivulets down the slopes of Bunker
Hill, stained the SHOWS of Valley
! Forge, Redeemed with it's warm heart
current the sod at Gettysburg, and
consecrated the apple blossoms at
| AppomattoX and the Fleur-dG-liS at
Chateau Thierry.
1--WE find such q white only in
mountain snow, when it falls uncOn-
! taminated from the matchless hand Of
/ God, in the Gala lily that blossoms
beneath the fostering care of the low
ing housewife, in the sacred veil that
envelops the blushing bride, and in
the silver beam that shoots from the
evening star. 1t typities the purity
of the patriotism that animated Ameri-
can manhood on thousand blood
bought fields and a hundred crimson
seas.
"The blue in that flag is bluer than
the arched dome Of heaven, bluer than
the modest violet that blossoms in the
wooded glen on the sunny side of the
old log There is such blue only in
the mellow radiance that flashes in a
woman's eye and typifies the sacrifice
of the mother who laid her stalwa,t
first born on the altar of his country,
and kneeling at his vacant chair prays
to God to comfort her aching heartt
then seizes the sword that has fallen
from the nervous hand Of the dead
hero, buckles it to the waist of her
STRIPPING son, and bids him go forth
and conquer or never return.
at has never been defeated, and it
has never yet retreated, and is an in
spiration- to all who may be free"

They likewise want compulsory mill
tary training for all American youths;
for this will foster habits of docility
and rlilitaristic patriotism which
will lessen the attention of the masses
to economic hardship and injustice.
Sufficient proof of the contention
that these interests are the main &C
tive element of the opposition is found
in the criticism of the recent arlnis-
tice transactions, in the criticism of
the Presidents trip to Europe, and in
the present criticism of freedom Of

The Temporal Power.
How the temporal power of the
Pope is looked upon at the Vatican |
shall tell you from the Popes present
standpoint. The Pope maintains his
demand for temporal power as prin-
ciple. When Rome fell in 1870 the
Italian government granted to the
Pope the Vatican grounds, the Chan
Gerry office in Rome and the Castle
Gondolfo in the country. Now the
Church has right to what she needs.
She is a complete, independent So
ciety with an end and means of her
own for obtaining that end. She can
be subject to no temporal prince or
state. Her ruler can be the subject
of no other ruler, else he could not
govern the Church with the freedom
and independence in government
which of right belong to her. Were
the Pope a mere Italian subject how
could he legislate for the Church in
France, Germany, Spain and other
countries, without becoming the object
of suspicion and jealousy? Being un-
der the protection and influence of a
foreign ruler and his subject, those
other nations would look upon him as
a mere Italian Bishop under the thumb
of the Italian king, debating to the
rest of the Church.
Hence the Pope protests against the
usurpation of his prerogatiyes by the
Italian monarch. He does not leave
the Vatican, though Italian troops are
at his disposal, because he would then
consent tacitly to become an Italian
| subject. De jure, he says he is not,
while de facto he appears to be an
Italian subject. The mere fact of his
| protest makes the Pope in the eyes
of the world independent. He has his
own guard in the Vatican, the ground
| is extra territorial but still this is not
independence.
What is liberty! IT is not permits.
sion to do as you please as long as
allow you to do so, being able to with.
draw any consent at pleasure. Though
the Italian government says the Pope
is free, it is freedom with string to
it. Still the Pope protests in prin-
ciple that he is de jure free and de-
mands independence.
/ Just how much territory is de
manded is another question-not, OF
course, the whole of the former papal
states These states grew as time
went on and most of the territory was
merely accidental acquisition. At least
part Of the city of Rome is necessary

LAWYER IS DECORATED
X. OF c. SECRETARY RECEIVES
LEGION OF HONOR MEDAL.

James F. Kelly, of Salt Lake City,
seas in August as a Knights of Colum-
bus secretary, arrived in New York
Tuesday from France with his head
still bandaged to protect wound he
received from German shrapnel while,
as a Knights of Columbus secretary,
he performed deed that won for him
the Legion of Honor medal. In max
ing his final report to William p Lar
kin, director of Knights Overseas Ac-
tivities, Mr.. Kelly said:
ut was on October % that word
came from an advanced line in the
forest that battalion of marines were
trapped and in need of food and am
munition. They had been cut off, but
had managed to send through a car
rier pigeon.
Several attempts had been made to
locate the battalion. but the work was
unsuccessful because of the trees.
With a French pilot | went over the
lines in an airplane with food and sup
plies and succeeded in locating the
battalion, which was fighting Off the
Germans.
Twice again we returned with food
and supplies and dropped enough food
and kept the battalion going until the
TANKS advanced and relieved the tired
fighters. 1t was my first flight in an
aeroplane. You cannot imagine just
what the sensation is, but those
thoughts were forgotten in the all
important job of keeping these men
supplied with the food they needed so
badly.
