mot WORTH DYING FOR. .

The four-act comedy is about
over. Pegasus bearing his pre-.

takes his flight from Fiume, the
valiant modern Don Quixote
astride the snorting steed. Soaring

glance backward ON the migrate.

hospitable shores. After all, said
the poet, Italy is not worth dy,
ing for" A rivederci, see you
later!
At the sound of such insolence
one can almost hear the great
Scipio turning in his grave. The
shades of Cato and Caesar, of old
Cincinnatus and the vast array OF
Roman heroes surely must have
felt troubled at this latter-day
comedian. AS the Gauls went
hurting down from the Tarpeian
Rock, they also thought that Italy
was not worth dying for. When
Marius and his cohorts cut the
fierce Cimbri and Teutons to pieces
in the passes of the Alps, these in
vaders also thought most probably
that Italy was scarcely worth dy-
ing for.
And yet history shows that Van
dial and Goth, Allemanni, Gaul and
Visigoth, with countless others,
thought most highly of the propo-
sition of dying in the attempt to
conquer Italy. But D'Annunzio
would rather live for his country
than die for her.
If the little scanner Of feet and
moulder of rhyme survives his es-
capade the world will probably
be enriched by the addition of the
Fiumiad: magazines will pay him
a dollar a word, the movies will
battle with vaudeville for the
rights to his plays, and the one
time hero of Italy's war struggles
will go down in history as comic
opera edition of Rienzi.

PROPAGATING RELIGION.

Today is period of movements

Erin, Thy Way OF Tears
written for The Catholic Bulletin BY
DR.. James Henderson.)

Thy way of tears, Dark Rosaleen,
Thy weary way of tears,
Leads down the road of centuries,
Is traced thro' Wondering years;
1t spans a dozen Calvaries,
Their agony and pain,
You've followed them with bloody
feet
And meath thy cross hast lain.
The bloody sweat was on thy brow,
The stars looked pale and dim,
AS, in the garden Thou didst call
To leave Thy all to Him.
He hath not failed thee, never fret,
When world-stars rise again
Then comes thy own glad Easter
morn;
1t shall not be in vain.
The tomb is sealed, the watch is set
And Caesars soldiers stay,
Nor all of hell's red hordes can keep
! Thee in thy tomb that day;
Nor all of England's cruel host
May hold from thee thine own,
And it shall be an empty tomb
When thou it's bands hast flown.
We view the path of centuries,
We kiss thy bleeding feet,
We place thy cross upon our backs
For, o thy yoke is sweet!
Sweet to relieve thy aching heart
And sweet to lift our share,
Let us be but the glad Cyrene,
Thy sons who do and dare.

CARDINAL GIBBONS.

l e.sf
AS we go to press reports from
Baltimore indicate that the Ven
cradle Cardinal Gibbons is resist.
ing bravely the attacks of illness
and of exhaustion due to age. Any
word of betterment is eagerly
seized upon and appreciated by his
friends and fellow citizens. For
the Cardinal is not merely Arch
bishop of Baltimore: he is perhaps
the most beloved public man in
American life today.
The Church in this country is
blessed with a few prelates who
are viewed not simply as church
men but as great citizens of the
Republic and benefactors of their
fellows. On this wide platform
they stand. Their religion instead
of hampering their efforts and ac-
tivities for the general welfare but
enhances their work and strength
ems their arm in the cause of JUS
tice and charity.
Cardinal Gibbons for more than
fifty years has stood upon the
broad ground of American liberty.
On every occasion when either
Church or State were in danger
his voice has been raised fearless
ly but always gently in an appeal
to the sentiments Of fairness Or
patriotism. The American consti-
tuition has had no more loyal and
constant defender among the citi-
zens of this land. Nor has the
Church more able and convinc-
ing champion than the noble pre-
late of Baltimore.
The late Archbishop Ireland, a
lifelong friend of the great Cardi-
nal, often acted as spokesman for
his fellow-Catholics on national
questions. And the prelate of St.
Paul, remarking upon this on a
certain occasion, said: "When-
ever / am asked to give an opinion
on great national problems, I al
ways turn first towards Baltimore
to see which way the wind is blow
ing This may be said to be a
general custom among Catholics
aud a practice frequently followed
by the most eminent statesmen.
The prayers of the whole coun-.
try are raised to heaven that God
may long spare the beloved
Cardinal to Church and State in
America.

maelstron Of war, however, has
come an awakening, and the pow
ers OF evil are beginning to cast
Wistful glances towards the See of
Peter. Not that they loved Rome
more, but they realize that after
all the predictions and prophecies
of the Pope's downfall he alone
has remained erect and powerful
after the carnage had ceased.
For this reason France is now
preparing to take a little trip to-
wards Canossa. The Chamber has
decided to resume relations with
the Holy Father, and it looks as
if the Senate will fall in line with
what is considered the wish of the
people.
After all, great will be the re-
joicing when the prodigal Daugh-
ter returns to her fathers house.
She was a good daughter, even if
hayward at times. Her welcome
will be warm and sincere.

THE QUIET LIFE.

There is noticeable lack here
in America Of the old quiet life
that distinguished certain classes
in the olden days. Now all is
hurry and hustle. Progress means
material advancement: electrical
devices, mechanical inventions,
vast cities, amusements of all
kinds; anything to take the mind
off the quiet pursuits of learning
and thought. All these things are
good in themselves and perhaps
beneficial to the race; but it is
saddening that the life of intellec-
tual pleasure seems on the wane.
The average man today is en-
gagged in more or less laborious
toll. His diversion consists in an
evening at the club or the theater,
or in some form of amusement. His
mind seldom is open to the joys
of pure mental delights: these re-
quire thought and his thoughts are
devoted to his work, while the i'm
provement of his mind as the nobl-
est part Of his being is woefully
neglected.
A beautiful drama attracts but
a slender audience; a hilarious
farce packs the house. A work OF
poetry, philosophy, history is
found in the hands Of the few:
the short story, the snappy novel,
or the latest revelations in the Sat
urday Evening Stick are absorbed
by millions.
The gentleman Of the old school
was at home with the classics. He
was familiar with the best thought
Of his own day and other times.
His delight was to meet kindred
souls and to revel in the higher
spheres Of intellectual enjoyment.
Now when he enters company
of educated persons he is strange
ly out Of place. The only topic is
the latest in this or that: it s
the old Quid now, what's new, of
the ancients.

Members OF the Baltimore Confer.

unanimously adopted resolution de.

schools are "unC hristian, unchurchly

useless scheme preached by those
who wander in the darkness as to
what the church really is, what true
unity of faith and Christian liberty
mean, and who have no true under
standing or appreciation of the great
blessings of American liberty"
Occasion for the resolution was fur.
nished last week by the proposal of
the Rev. DR.. Peter Ainslee, pastor of
the Christian Temple, Baltimore, to
discontinue all schools now conducted
under religious auspices, and control,
unless they can be "interdenomina

The external unity sought by "such
men as DIR. Ainslee," said the resolu-
ton, had perfect proof of it's i'm
practicability in the defunct Inter

declared.
The Lutheran bodies maintain many
religious schools, both primary and
