Press dispatches from Chicago
announce the intention Of Meth
odists to erect in that, city a
$3,500,000 cathedral which shall
be a "skyscraper,'' twenty-one
stories high, combining the grace
of medieval churches with the
utility Of the modern Office build
ing" The purpose is, to say the
least, ambitious. But it's accomp-
lishment is likely to be difficult.
''The utility Of the modern Office
building" may be easy of estimate,
but the architects are likely to
find "the grace Of medieval
churches exasperatingly elusive
in execution. This grace Of the
medieval was the expression in
lasting form Of an ideal. 1t was
an inward grace which manifested
itself in outward, form as cathe-
dral or church, that all who saw
might become partakers, in great
er or less degree, Of it's spiritual
sustenance.

The London Catholic Universe

The London Catholic Universe
comments on a common fault: A
recent municipal election disclosed
the fact that the average man is
either too lazy or too Indifferent
to vote. In this case, 16 per cent
of the electorate went to the polls,
and of the Catholic population, SO
per cent refrained from voting.
One of the candidates was Cath
Ollie. Of course, we do not suggest
that Catholic candidates should
always receive the support of
every Catholic, but it will be
found often that a Catholic is best
suited to represent the Catholic
point of view. It should be real
lied that men and women have a
moral responsibility to vote, in
order to secure that the most
capable representatives are
chosen.

A WEDDING PRESENT
CATHOLIC SOLDIER GIVEN CON-
GRESS MEDAL OF HONOR FOR
BRAVERY AT THE OURCQ.

Richard W. O'Neill, of New York,
former sergeant in the army, has been
awarded the Congressional Medal of
Honor for conspicuous gal1antry and
intrepidity on the Ourcq river, France,
on July 80, 1918. This distinction
comes to Mr.. O'Neill as a sort of
wedding present, his marriage to Miss
Estelle Johnson, of New York, having
taken place on the twelfth of last
month. The marriage ceremony was
performed by Rev. Francis P. Duffy,
chaplain Of the 165th Infantry.
The citation says that Sergeant
O'Neill, in advance of an assaulting
line, attacked detachment of the en-
envy and though wounded many times,
remained in command of his men. He
finally was forced by weakness and
loss of blood to be evacuated, but he
insisted upon being taken first to the
battalion commander to transmit val
liable information relative to enemy
positions and the disposition of the
American forces.
Sergeant O'Neill killed three of the
enemy with his revolver during the
advance and before his men reached
him, and himself was struck by seven
bullets, each of which inflicted seri-
Gus wound. He is only % years old.

PRIEST CONVERT DEAD
STUDIED IN PROTESTANT SEMI.
NARY BEFORE CONVERSION.

Rev. William I. Simmons, aged 70,
and for thirty-three years pastor of the
Church of the Blessed Sacrament,
Providence, r. l., died July /. He was
born in New York City, in 1848, and
received his classical education in that
city. Both his parents were non-Cath-
olics, and, at an early age. he decided
to study for the ministry. For this
purpose he entered the Theological
Seminary of the Episcopal Church, but
before graduation left that institution
to study the Catholic faith.
After some months of study and prep
aration with the Paulist Fathers in
New York, he was received into the
church, in 1870. Immediately after he
began the study of philosophy and
theology with the Paulists and finished
his course six years later, when he was
ordained to the priesthood in 1876.

SOME REAL GEORGIA CRACKERS
The Kaiser a Catholic Bishop

While one OF our priests was speak.
ing to a mixed audience in this dis.
trict, and had prefaced his remarks
with the declaration that he would
gladly answer any questions asked, he
was asked these two questions at the
close of his discourse, which was given
from a porch:
Reverend, this here Kaiser, who
we all has been hearin' about, amt
he Bishop in your church,"
Reverend, when this war came on,
we didn't want our boys sent to
France, and Tom Watson told us il
we put up the money for him to fight
the case, he'd go to the Supreme Court
and keep old man Wilson from send
ing 'em over. Well, old Wilson cum
pretty nigh sendin' Tom to Jail, and
they tell us now that the reason why
Tom was again sendin' our boys over
there was that old Wilson is Jesuite,
and he warnt goin' to let our boys
cum back unless they jined the Cath
Ollie Church over there. Now amt that
500"
AS an utterly irrelevant matter, I
may add that we have just had an
other lynching. A negro assaulted and
murdered girl. He was arrested,
promptly indicted, promptly tried, con-
victed and sentenced to be hanged in
as short time as the law permits A
mob tore him from the sheriff as he
was leaving the court, led him to the
scene of the crime, and burned him to
death.
This in the twentieth century Of
Christianity! But Georgia is not q
Christian commonwealth.

Bishop of Savannah.

the time when the Church actually
r,,lad tho hoo VIC ond minds IF man

the time when the Church actually
ruled the hearts and minds of men.
The centennial of Dante-one
of the noblest products of the
dark" ages+which the whole
world is concentrating this year,
will also serve to turn the minds
of thoughtful men to period
when science, art, religion and
what we are pleased to call soci-
ology fourished with widespread
vigor under the benign influence
and fostering care of the Catholic
Church. Surely an age that could
bring forth a Dante, an Aquinas,
a Dominic, an Assist, a Hide
brand, and countless host of 9th
err stars of the first magnitude,
scarcely can be called dark. A
armament Illuminated by multi
tude Of such wondrous orbs is
darkened only to the myopic and
the blind.

WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT.

Seldom has a presidential ap-
pointment given more general sat
isfaction than the nomination by
President Harding Of William
Howard Taft to be chief justice
of the Supreme Court of the Unit
ed States. The new justice has
often publicly declared that this
was his LIES ambition, and the
possibility Of losing this honor
made him hesitate to accept the
nomination for President in 1908.
Now the whole country rejoices
that Taft has been called to the
exalted position of authority and
power.
The cause of this qualification is
not merely that a valued citizen
has achieved the goal of his de-
sires, but principally because it is
recognized that Mr.. Taft has ever
given evidence Of a judicial tenn
permanent throughout his public
career. In the many offices which
he has flled-on the bench of the
circuit and district courts of the
United States, as commissioner
and first encouragement Of the
Philippines, secretary Of war, and
Chief Executive of the nation
Mr.. Taft ever and always exhibit
ed fine sense Of justice and a
keen appreciation of it's various
bearings. No haphazard decisions
have marked his rulings. He has
been accustomed to get frst-hand
information on all matters relative
to the case in hand and then to
display spirit of fairness and
just balance. This was clearly
evident in the controversy on the
Philippines and the lands possess
ed there by the friars. Mr.. Taft
went to Rome and there obtained
the views of the Vatican on this
problem. In the entire handling
of that question, which aroused in
tense feeling at the time, Mr.. Taft
was guided alone by fairness and
justice, with the result that sat-
isfactory solution was reached
without quibbling or evasion.

HUTS FOR SUFFERERS
WAR EXPERIENCE AT DISPOSAL
OF HOMELESS THROUGH
FLOODS.

K. of G. men experienced in hut
construction with the A. E. F. and in
home camps during the war have been
sent to Pueblo and the general flood
area Of Colorado to cooperate with
the local councils of the Knights of
Columbus in immediate relief and re.
construction work, Supreme Secretary
William J. Mckinley of the K. of c.
announces.
1--WE have men on the ground expe-
rienced in rapid construction of tenn.
porary huts and buildings through
their work in the war;" said Mr.. Nc.
Ginley. "These men will work en-.
tirely under the direction of the local
relief authorities"

A thoughtful writer says: One
of the great consultations to good
Catholics, when sudden death
comes into the family, is to be able
to say, "Thank God, he Cor she)
was at Mass last Sunday and re-
ceived Holy Communion" Let us
give our folks that consolation
before we leave them of a Sunday
to enjoy ourselves. An accident
of some kind may turn our joy to
sorrow and no matter what hap
pens, the blessing is ours, the con-
ISOLATION is theirs, that we attended
our Sunday devotions.

MEDDLING WITH HAITI.

Recently Mr.. DENLY, secretary
of the navy, addressed letter to
DR.. O. E. Watson, approving a
plan to send Protestant mission
aries to the republic of Haiti. The
Secretary thought that this would
be good idea in order to win over
the natives who seem to resent
American interference. No doubt
Mr.. DENLY meant well, but the
plan is sure to embitter feelings
against this country.
The fact is that ninety per cent
Of the people of Haiti are Cath
olics. Ever since their separation
from Santo Domingo and their de-
claration of independence, some
sixty years ago, the people have
undergone all the misery Of civil
war and of bad administration.
Nevertheless there is a well con-
stituted Catholic organization
there. The republic boasts five
dioceses, with an archbishop and
four suffragan sees. Two semina-
ries in France alone have furnish
ed many hundreds Of priests for
work among the people. Various
religious orders, as the Brothers of
Christian Instruction, Fathers Of
the Holy Ghost, Society of Mary
have seminary, schools, academ-
les and other institutions. There
are more than $50 churches, while
several hundred nuns care for the
children, the aged and the sick.
Though the people of Haiti are
colored, they possess the Latin
temperament and have long been
