ST. PATRICK.
Among the familiar names of his
tory. he they of statesmen, warriors,
kings or scholars, few are better
known to the laity than that of ttie
patron saint of Ireland. St Patrick.
While it Is true that in the 1’nited
States such familiarity is largely at
tached to Hie popular belief that St
Patrick is responsible for the absence
of snakes in the Emerald isle, else
where he is known largely because of
an extraordinary zeal in laboring to
lift humanity front the depths of pagan
superstition into the more elevated
beliefs of Christianity
Pew of those who have devoted ilieir
lives to the cause of humanity are
more worthy of the reward of fame
than is St. Patrick From his earliest
years until he was carried to his eter
nal reward by the resist less hand of
Time the good saint gave himself to
the task of teaching and uplifting hu
manity and his endeavors were clown
ed with a success achieved by few of
those whose names are written in re
ligious history Although the place of
his birth is somewhat obscure, as is
also his life up to the time when he
undertook the task of converting the
people of Ireland, from the time when
he tirst appeared on tlio scene of bis
labors, some time about the year HO,
A. D.. his kindly personality and ex
traordinary capacities created an im
pression in the minds of tho Irish peo
ple which finally led to the conversion
of practically the entire race. Al
though particularly venerated by the
Irish people, his long, tireless and un
selfish labors have won him tho fullest
measure of the world's respect and
praise and today probably more than
at any other time since his death ihe
true greatness of the Irish apostle is
recognized and honored.
THAW
< >n the whirling tape of publicity,
front East Maehias in Maine to San
Diego in California, flashes once more
tho name Thaw It has been there
often, in letters of red It will be there
again, and a hundred million Americans
will locus thought upon it, as they will
net do upon the mighty words of a pre
sident of the republic No public man
or woman, not even a champion ball
player. Is more certain of litis instan
taneous tribute of a nation's attention.
A good many worthy people protest
against this astonishing idienomeiton
as a vicious perversity of the "sensa
tional press" The notoriety of Thaw
uuld not have lasted a ntohth an such
tour de force of journalism ll lasts
n spite of sensationalism, not because
f it Hut since the interest in Thaw
« deeply founded in some common in
ilnct of us all. because it Is natural.
I continues and will continue till the
ast line of tlie last chapter is written
The irunv of this is of course out
tandisc Here is a youth which the
huritable phrase of the time labels
‘defective." There are thousands like
lim in that respect in the country.
Possessed of money and parental in
lulgence, like many others of his kind
u> went the way of his kind -but with
i difference, a difference which lias
nadp him a "household word." A life
ime of useful and even brilliant effort
vould not have won him a scintilla of
he interest lie claims sc. arely from
lis fellow men. Perhaps it was a glass
>f champagne that won him that tragic
'minenee, one glass too mane among
many—that and the. tangled web of
ircumstancc in which he and a wanton
tnd a man of genius somehow had
woven together.
Proverbial moralities may he spun
out of the Thaw tragedy, but prover
bial moinlities do not wake a hundred
million to Instant attention. There
must he at the bottom of our spontan
eous and persistent interest a more
vitalizing nualitv Making due allow
ance for the obvious claims on our in
terest of "wealth” of "passion" and
deadly violence, of the melodrama in
the long struggle which riches have
enabled a culprit to make against the
"law," there is still something deeper
something which sprang up from the
first act of the drama, something more
than any melodrama the sense of a
sardonic jest of fate a bitter tragi -
i ontedy of accident in which the weak
est of weaklings lays his unsteady
hands upon a costly fabric of life and
brings it crashing down Almost In
proportion to his own weakness and
folly Thaw wrought out of destruction
a significance which holds our human
interest and will hold.—Chicago
Tribune.
NOT FOR MONEY.
Japanese expressions on the subject
of direct intervention in the war in
Kurope for the most part are not en
tliusiaetic The allieH might make
the proposals attractive, hut thus fnr
the suggestion lias been that Japan
should content herself with the in
demnity which might he Imposed on
Germany Nothing like an official com
munication has been hinted at. hut the
French publicists who advocate Ja
panese intervention put emphasis on
the fact that Japan is debt ridden and
struggling and that Kurope offers Her
man}* as spoil for the victors.
The Japanese are not attracted. They
reply that they are not offering soldiers
on the market and that they do not
desire lo sell their men. For certain
substantial remunerations affecting
the nation they might undertake opera
ions it Kurope, but the exchange
could not be made sordid. Merely us
i way out of debt Japan would not
sacrifice her soldiers. If national se
curity and honor could he advanced, if
national dignity could he enhanced,
conditions of life made, easier, and the
promise for Japan brighter, an army
might he sacrificed for the cause, but
not for a sum of money, no matter
how large.
It is to be considered, and is con
sidered, that Japan has entered the
ring and must abide by the conse
quences At present the part is that, of
a spectator, but a victorious Germany
would appear on Japan- horizon as a
menace quite as formidable as Russia
and loss placable.
Japan hit one of the big men in a
tight and now stands aside. If the big
man disposes of his active enemy lie’ll
look around for the fellow who hit
him when he was engaged.—N. T.
