life OF Bourke Cochran, who died
few days ago:
"The death of Bourke Cochran re-
moves from the scene of life q citizen
of outstanding worth and signlh-
canoe, to whose Catholic faith and
zeal two generations looked up with
admiration and gratitude. On all i'm
portant issues that affected the re-
l1igious and moral intersests or rights
of our Catholic people he was an
accepted leader and discharged his
office of quasi-tribune of American
Catholicism with singular skill and
success, often winning the applause
and always holding the esteem or
honorable adVerSarieS. To English-
speaking Catholics the world over

eloquent advocate, a vigorous apollo
gist and a fearless representative OF

religion the unfailing stimulus of his
knlghtly proWess and his splenold
deeds in favor of religion, education,
justice and charity, the noble causes
to which his long and beneficent life
was dedicated.
Daily he knelt at the holy table

lifted, sanctified and encouraged, by
tender colloquy with his Divine Mas

such could claim a place among the
great militant peers of modern
Catholicism, among such noble figures
as OConneu, Garcia Moreno, Wind
thorst and other chivalrous souls. to
whose lifelong advocacy of right and
truth not only Catholics. but all men,
are indebted; for they stood four
square, as it were, on fundamentai
positions the loss of which would
affect the common welfare of man
kind no less than the rights of Catho-
lies.
The eloquence and learning of
Bourke Cochran, his high devotion
and splendid zeal will long be re-
imembered. but far greater Will be

living graces which filled his mind
with light and his heart with love

Jesus and the love of His sacred
