Foremost Catholic PrelateinUS.
Beloved by Men of All Creeds

James Cardinal Gibbons was born
in Baltimore on July %, 1894 He was
of Irish parentaEe. At an early age
the future prelate was taken by his
parents to ireland. the home of his
ancestors, and there received the
rudiments of his training. During
this period he came under the OBJ
servation of Archbishop McHalc. ster-
ling patriot and great prelate, and
the latter was much impressed with
the youthful Baltimorean.
When he was seventeen years OF
age his parents returned with him TO
Baltimore, and as he felt strongly a
vocation for the sacred priesthood
James was entered at st. Charles
College, near Ellicott City. Md. Fin
ishing his classical course at this his
torical institution, he then prosecuted
his philosophical and theological
studies at Mt. st. Mary's Seminary, on
North Paca street, this city, and was
ordained to the priesthood in the Bal
moro Cathedral at the age of twen-
ty-seven. receiving this last holy or
der on June 80. 1861. For the next
two years he was actively engaged as
assistant pastor at st. Patrick s
Church. on Broadway, and for three

In 1867, during the sessions of the

tributed to the great success of the
council.
The acts and DEGREES OF this plenary
council were approved by the Pope,
who shortly afterward. as a mark of
his favor and appreciation, raised
Archbishop Gibbons to the cardi-
nalitial dignity. The archbishop Sc
lected June 80. 1856, the twenty fifth
anniversary of his ordination to the
holy priesthood, as the occasion for
the formal investiture, with the rank
and insignia of the members of the
Sacred College.
, ELEVATED TO THE CARDINALATE.
The ceremony was performed in the
historic Baltimore Cathedral, the hal
lowed walls of which had witnessed
every form OF ceremony with which
the chuch performs her divine func-
tions OF the ministry and confers the
rank and obligations which pertain
to their exercise, and now viewed for
the first time the solemn ceremonies
which made son of the church a
prince of her great establishment
James Gibbons, one of the most un-
assuming of men, sincere democrat
in the best sense of that much abused
term, had risen to princely dignity
and would thereafter be numbered
among the princes and rulers of the
oldest dynasty in the Christian world.
The venerable Archbishop Kendrick
OF st. Louis. the dean of the Ameri-
can hierarchy, was specially desig-
mated by Pope Leo XIII to officiate at
the investture.
The following January, 1887, the
Cardinal sailed for Rome, and on St.
Patrick's Day Of that year the most
conspicuous event of his life took
place, when from the hands OF the
reigning Pontiff he received the red
hat, which marked the completion Of
his dignity. Eight days later, on the
feast of the annunciation, he was in

the Cardinal quietly observed the
fiftieth anniversary of his ordination
to the priesthood and the twenty
fifth anniversary as cardinal. A
pompous celebration of these anni-
versaries followed in October, 1911.
The cardinal liked children. Many
stories are told OF his encounters
with newsboys, and there is one OF
how he once forgot the cares OF the

BALTIMORE, March "a
James Cardinal Gibbons, arch

the leading Roman Catholic
prelates in the whole world, died

The venerable prelate's death

SUFFERED BREAKDOWN.
Death of the cardinal was due to
general breakdown, which had
been superinducrd by a heavy cold,

an attempt at recuperation. His
condition. despite the best of medi-

worse and at the beginning of the

was despaired of by his close as

/" HERE. are several things that Mr.. General
Public is asking the on-coming legislators
! to consider seriously, and not the least OF
these is the Primary Election Law in whose name
such queer didoes were cut in the recent polling.
It is hard to conceive anything that would lend
ieself to political manipulation with greater ease
and readiness than does the present misfit law.
Whether it should be obliterated or whether it
shall be made serviceable by amendment is a mat
ter for the grave minds of the legislators to
ponder But in some way it should be so ar
ranged that man who is defeated at the primary
election is DEFEATED-and defeated SO thor
oughly that he cannot, by the simple little mat
ter of committing perjury, get on the ballot for
the general election. If this makes necessary the
return to the old convention system let US be on
our way! We have all the bad qualities of that
system and none of the good ones, in the primary
system SO the change would not increase the cleo
ton evils In theory the Primary System IS
beautiful and uplifting-in practice it is pathetl-
cally crude.

THE VILLAGES.

/ can not hope that Sorrows feet forever and day
Will pass my little House of Love where latticed
sunbeams stray,
But when she lays her hand at last upon the
swinging latch,
And steps where happy years have smiled be-
meath our spring-sweet thatch,
Grant me, all, God, this heartfelt prayer, that
somewhere it may be
Where little, smal-town sympathy may fold and
comfort me.
The little small town sympathy that runs across
the fields
In blue-checked gingham aprons, and with flour
upon it's hands,
That bakes and brews, and sweeps and dusts, that
wakeful serves and shields,
The little, small-town sympathy that knows and
understands.
Thy cities, God, are builded high with carven
stone on stone.
But hearts may ache, and lives may droop I'M
needed and alone.
And souls may dwell unknown, unloved, single
wall between.
Not so the quiet home-sweet lives that fringe the
village green.
Let others reap the splendors, Lord, but give in
stead to me
The homely round of living with small-town SYM
pathy.
The little, small-town sympathy that steals on
neighbor feet
From tiny lamp-lit houses down maple-shaded
street;
That lends its strength on tear-dimmed ways its
own bruised feet have trod,
The little, smal-town sympathy-the very soul OF
God.

LEAVE BABCOCK ALONE.

rT HERE is a movement on foot now to take
the wonderful road system provided for by
= Amendment No l out of the hands of
State Highway Commissioner Babcock and to put
it in the hands of commission. This is another
of the questions which will be laid before the new
legislature. The argument is made, by the COM
mission well-wishers, that the proposed road sys-
TEN is so tremendous proposition that one man
will be unable to handle it. Babcock was big en-
ough to conceive this system, big enough to have
faith in it when no one else had, big enough to
"put the thing" over in way few men could have
done, thereby proving his wonderful executive
ability and his power of accomplishment. To
remove him and put the thing into the hands of
commission would be to offer the Babcock Plan
as a sacrifice to political proferment to take
away individual responsibility and to tightly wrap
the workings of the Plan with literal miles of
red tape Minnesota is even now all Uttered up
with boards and commissions whose members are
past masters of the art of passing the buck. !"
Let Mr.. Babcock alone and unhampered in his
final gigantic task of pulling Minnesota out of

return to capital punishment is being eagerly

crime waves, and are ready to resort to any mea-
