Close behind them came the FULL
robed Chief Justice Hughes and As
,ociate Justices Of the Supreme Court
The President was accompanied by
Mrs. Roosevelt and their son, James
So swiftly did the Presidents car travel
that few on the streets recognized him
but he raised his hat once or twice In
response to cheers. =,
Entering the Capitol from the north
side, he went directly to the Presidents
room where he was greeted warmly by
Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the ma
jority leader and Vice President Garner

The widow, the former Sonora Nleves

With her sat her son and Mrs.

President Enters.
Just a moment after the family party
was seated, President Roosevelt. followed
BY his cabinet, took their places. The
President sat barely three feet from
the foot of the casket.
Rev. Ze Barney T. Phillips, chaplain
Of the Senate, followed by altar boys
and the Catholic prelates. came next.
After Archbishop Curley made brief
announcement q vested choir began the
solemn musical ritual Of the service.
All the cabinet members were pres
ept save William H. Woodin, Secretary
Of the Treasury.
Archbishop Curley eulogized the late
legislator as one whom he had known
intimately and whom I loved" prefacing
his remarks with the following quota
ton from second Timothy, fourth
chapter:
Il have fought the good Tight; I have
finished my course; I have kept the
faith As to the rest there Is laid up
for me q crowI. Of justice which the
Lord. the Just Judge, will render to me
in that day"
The beloved Senator from Montana
deserves a eulogy. but he needs none. y
the archbishop said. He loved and
served his God. He loved and served
his fellowman"
Hands folded. the President listened
grave-faced to the services. He scarcely
moved during the ritual and as Arch
bishop Curley. standing at the Vice
Presidents desk paid his personal
tribute to the Montanan.
About him sat other church digni-
taries, all in full robe. and to the right
and slightly behind, Vice President
Garner.
Justices Sutherland and Stone were
missing from the row of black ,wned
Justices on the Presidents righi,
Practised Faith Quietly.
Continuing, the Archbishop said of
Walsh:
He practised his faith quietly, un@
obtrusively without show or demonstra-
ton. He knelt with his fellow adorers,
rich and poor on Sundays in one of
the churches Of this city and there re-
manned during the Offering up Of the
august sacrifice Of the mass in sweet
communion with his God.
frequently during the year he ap-
preached in all humility the altar rail-
ing to refresh his soul with the Bread
Of Angels"
National fame did not spoil him.
Pride did not grip him. Humility
grounded In self knowledge saved him
frum tn ruin wrought In the heart and
character Of man by foolish egotism.
He was not a Catholic In name only.
He was, thank God. in the fullest sense
Of the word a practical Catholic. He
lived his religion
He served his country. The Nation
knows it and today gives ample recog-
milton of that fact as 1t honors his
memory in q way in which the memory
Of few men is honored.
0Auoar{r~n IN Cnv>O
"He was American to the core. His
patriotism was as profound and as
actuating as his religion and 1t was
50 precisely because he was loyal to
his God.
If q man is not loyal to his God,
he can scarcely be expected to be loyal
TO his country With the man whom
We loved and knew familiarly as Tom
Walsh of Montana there was no an
tagonism between his faith and his
loyalty to his great Nations Govern
ment and institutions
He had convictions and he had the
courage Of them. He loved justice"

ing by the archbishop, Mrs Walsh
