one MANS EXPERIENCE
WITH FREE RANGE men

even death may not despoil him of
the riches of, service and self-sacrifice.
Measured by that standard, he who
sleeps today bears with him to the
tomb a legacy SO rare that even envy
is compelled to pay the tribute of adj
miration. His long life was devoted
to the service of the public veal
Upon his country's altar he placed the
wealth Of talent, the zeal Of youth, the
energy Of middle life, the wisdom Of
old age.
With tireless brain he wrought to
promote the general good, with sympa-
thetic spirit he tried to lift the burden
from the shoulders of the oppressed
His heart cried out for all who trod
adversity's harsh road To guide
them wisely, he explored every avenue
of learning, and burned his candle late
into the night. that he might CLEAN
the lore of other countries and of
other times.
The fires of patriotic love for home
and country consumed his very soul.
He faced each task with the heroic
courage of those who do not count the
cost His character rested upon a
foundation laid deep in human love.
He will live because his works will
live
He lives because he helped de-
fend and keep secure the Constitu-
tion that preserves our rights. He
lives in the Declaration of Indepen-
dence, whose principles he protected
with a tender and fearless affection.
He lives, because he has helped liber-
ny to live. Men who SO live will never
die. In overwhelming circles his in
f1uence will be felt. And deeper and
set deeper the tender love the people
|of his State have borne for him will
sink into their hearts.
As time runs on and the historian
SUI veys the picture of these troubled
times there will arise in it no figure
more heroic than the rugged form
that lies so still today.
He was the best beloved OF Ameri-
cans.
How cold are words! Let me for
just a moment speak of this man as
my friend For 80 years have known
him intimately and well, have watched
his course through all the storms of
life. How big, how brave. and rugged
was this man, hewn from the very
granite, yet tender as mothers
heart! He met each task of life as a
brave soldier meets his. duty on the
battle front. He never flinched from
any task that came before him. He
stood square-fronted to the world
They say that he is dead, but anyone
who gazes> on his marble brow must
know that the man we knew does not
lie here today. The soul, the thing
that made him what he was, can not
have been destroyed.
The flowers may fade and pass away;
They only wait through wintry hours
the coming May.
Il can not speak of his family. In
all this world never knew SO much
OF filial affection, of wifely tenderness.
of fatherly love. They must find their
consolation in the glorious memory of
this splendid man. Soon he will sleep
in the soil of his beolved State, and
as it enfolds him the very clods that
touch his coffin will be blessed with
the love he bore for his own Common
wealth

THE TAMPA TRiHuNE,s GOOD
SERVICE

The Tampa Tribune is doing the
state real service in devoting a
daily column entitled: Optimism
and the Future
Among the recent contributors to
this column are General W. B. Halder-
man, DR.. j. H. Ross and Colonel
Robert w. Davis.
General Halderman, with the able
assistance of Colonel Henry Waiter
son, has given the Louisville Courier
journal a national reputation; Dr.
Ross is president of the Florida Fruit
Exchange and Colonel Davis is the
editor of the Gainesville Sun.
For a number of years General
Halderman has spent his winters at
Naples-on-the-Gulf and has found it
an ideal health resort
aFor thirty syears," he says. Lee
county has had the smallest death
rate, according to population, of any
county in the United States
This distinguished visitor thinks the
possibilities of Florida are beyond
compare and he sees in the future a
cornucopia OF blessings for its peo-
pie.
He implores the incoming legisla-
ture to enact stronger laws for the
protection Of fish and game and says
that the hunting season should be
shortened.
DR.. Ross is genuine lover of the
state and has dcne and is doing his
full share towards its development.
Among other pretty things prettily
said are the following:
-aIn spite of the development which
have taken place, and the almost
marvellous progress of recent years,
/ feel today that South Florida stands
just at the beginning of what is des-
tined to be its read developemnt; and
progress of the next decade or two
will make the most marvellous devel-
opments of the last ten years seem
but negligible"
Colonel Robt. w. Davis is one OF the
most lovable Characters in Florida
and to know him Is to admire him and
he is known everywhere in Florida.
He is so blessed by nature with
i buoyant and sanguine temperament
that he could not write any other way
than patriotically and enthusiastically
AS we would enthuse others with
his thoughts we copy his article en-

RELIEF IN IRELAND
PEOPLE IN DiSTRESS-iRISH
ARCHBISHOP GREETS AMERI-
CAN RELIEF COMMITTEE.

(By y. c. w. G.. News Service)
The members of the deputation of
the American Committee for the Re-
lief of Distress in Ireland have map
ped out for themselves an extensive
program. One Of their first acts on
arrival in Dublin was Il visit to Arch.
bishop Walsh.
His Grace was deeply interested in
the mission and expressed his graft.
tude to America for its philanthropy
and charity in coming to the relief of
the thousands of Irish families, who,
at. this moment, houseless and work
less, are in dire distress.
During the week the delegates WIS.,
tied Balbriggan, where they inspected
the ruined hosiery factory and the de-
st~oyed commercial and private hous-
cg. They intend to give detailed
study to the whole subject of housing
and unemployment in Balbriggan and
other places.
Just on the day following the ar
rival of the delegates in Dublin there
appeared in the press report to the
effect that the entire Dingle PENN
sula, in Kerry County, embracing
about 400 square miles, was block
AIDED, with the result that men, wom-
en- and children were on the verge of
starvation. For a week previously
there had been no news from the dis
trict. Then local official commune
Gated with the Railway Clerks Assoc
citation in Dublin, stating that supplies
were exhausted and that women and
children were faced with starvation.
Thereupcn the association telegraphed
to the Labor Party in Ireland request
ing that steps should be taken imme-
diately with view to saving unof.
tending women and children from
starvation.
The military authorities deny that
there is scarcity of foodstuffs and
say that Grown forces are not inter
fering with law-abiding inhabitants. .
Tt is expected that the American del
egates will inquire into conditions for
themselves. ~

bells some ten years ago. The work
had eliminated in a worthy home for
| the bells, which would proclaim the
| Catholic religion in their way.
The abbey choir gave other chants,
including the "Memorare," in honor of
Our Lady of Buckfast. This is also
pealed every evening after the monks
have finished their last office in
church for the day.
The exercises recalled to the Catho-
lie mind events of some three and a
half centuries ago, when there was
scarcely man or woman in Devon
shire who did not belong to the Cath
Ollie Church. They also recalled the
last time that the Buckfast bells had
sounded to Catholic ears.
1t may be recalled that the Catho-
lies of Devonshire rose up in a last
struggle for their religion. of which
they were robbed The ''Reformers"
order went forth to take down the bells
of Devon and Cornwall. 1t is recorded
that many of these bells were sold
abroad. The inauguration thus rep
resented coming back of the Cath
| Ollie bells of Devonshire."
1t is now just about ten years since
the II bells were solemnly blessed.
The time had come to place them in
the tower of the new church, which is
still in course of construction. All the
bells bear suitable Latin inscriptions.
The tenor bell weighs 2,775 pounds,
and the full peal more than seven tons.

Social reform presupposes individual

Unfortunately, these two safeguards

years ago, and was in use unit, 1915
For some reason not made known
the institution was offered for sale
in that year. Since that time it had
remained unoccupied. 1t is regarded
as a very good building and quite
suitable as the beginning of the great

lRy N. G. w. C. News Seryice.)
One of the deans of the French
Episcopacy, Monsignor Beguinot, Bish-
op of Mines for these "a years, has
just passed away. Monsignor Begui-
not, whose mother lived to be 100
years old, had entered our Lords serv-
ice at the age of s, as choir singer
in the Cathedral of Bourges. His sac
erdotal vocation had been fondly nur-
tured by the devotion of one of his
aunts, who, in order to be of assist
ance to him in his studies, had gone
so far as. to learn Latin and Greek.
BY a moving coincidence, the eccle-
siastical career of the prelate, which,
at its origin, was helped by such sig
nal devotion to religious vocation,
closed with an official act to encollr-
age vocations. Eight days before his
death, Monsignor Beguinot addressed

LIVE FRENCH PARISH
CLERGY JEALOUS, ACTIVITIES
MANIFOLD - AMERICAN STU
DENTS ARE SHOWN TYPICAL
PARIS PARISH WORK.
(By n. C. w. G.. News Service)

(By n. c. w. G.. News Service).
OF the Catholic Church in typical
Partisan parish was furnished the for
eign students of the Institute of Paris,
including young priests and laymen of
a dozen nationalities, among them
several Americans, who recently WIS.,
tied the parish Of st. Honore d'Eylau.
The Church of st. Honore, whose
pastor is the Able Soulange, is at
tended by two classes of people, with
very different characteristics. On one
hand are the working people, modest
tradesmen, clerks, and housemaids
On the other hand are large groups
from the richest Paris society.
There are two chapels in the parish
and in these twelve Masses are cele-
brated each Sunday, with sermon
after each. One of these Masses is
exclusively for men. The Blessed Sac
rament is exposed-every Friday and
carried in procession every first Sun
day. Under the impulse of an apos.
tolic clergy, devotion to the Holy Eu-
charist has so grown in the last seven
years that the number of holy COM
munions has increased from 233, 900 in
1914 to 375,000 in 1920.
Kindergartens for small children,
three primary schools, commercial
courses and welfare center for
young women bear evidence of the
provision that has been made for the
social and educational needs of the
parishioners. There is also young
mems patronage, with libraries and a
/ gymnasium. The athletic society has
a plot OF ground covering thirty acres
for its sports and a vacation camp.
The st. Vincent de Paul Society and
the Apostleship of Prayer flourish
among the young men.
The needs of the working classes
have brought about the establishment
| of various trades-unions, unit of the
st. Benedict Labre Association and
an employment bureau. Both men
| and women have the advantage OF
| these associations and there are two
parish institutions for the care of the
| poor.
Four hundred young men are now
receiving instruction in apologetics
and social science. For the older
girls there are lectures in philosophy
and courses in housekeeping.
The parish is center for French
| boy-scout activities, and finally the
men and women are grouped IN dis
tinctive parish organizations.
Among the notable parish features
are the Parish Bulletin, which is Z

courses which are given the children
