At that time he appeared to be i perfect health, with no hint that bis life was so soon to reach its end. For twenty-four years lie had served Chicago as its first archbishopý and in that period had firmly established himself, flot only as head of the Catholic church, but also as an important and influential figure ini the civic, spiritual, and cultural activi- ties within and outside of bis church.. I last week's issue of this news-magazine. there appeared pictures of Cardinal Mun- delein durig. the dedication ceremonies Of St. Joseph's.

Becauseý the 'presentation of speakers'did not clearly identify them, we cannot give * rper creédit.to theseaowhspk the words of wisdom, but what he said was .somèîthing like this: "If you (oppos.ing, sena.tors) are con- sidering this problernof retention or repeal of the neutrality .act.7fironm the standpoint.of whether it wil aid England and, France, and -hinder Germany, or vice versa, why not co nsider it from now on in the light of what is best for Arnerica?" That -is the crux of the questio.n. Not what wiiI? help one bélliger ent- or injure another, but what is best for this country, and what will be rnost likely to keep our boys on this side of the Atlantic. Positive assertions that one action will surely keep America out of the war and that another will as certainly lead her into war, are pure buncombe. We do not believe that anyone knows. So let's be selfish for once and do what appears to be best for Amer- ica. It's time we thought for ourselves.

After listeÉining, to 'a radio debate by, a number, of United States senators Sunday evening on the neutrality, law and lifting the embargo, we are more befuddled than ever.. In,.faàct, our position rlght now remlnds us of the wag's defin- ition of a political mugwump. Being asked the. question, -"What is a mugwUmnp?

Reference is to Governor Horner's announcement that bis bat is in the ring for a third term, and the reason therefore. It's beeause, he avers, bis Job is only haîf done. At that point the old mathemnatical mind began to function. How corne, we reasoned, does the governor figure that a "job" which could be only hall completed in -eight years, could be finished in four? Or is it that the governor is laying the groundwork for a fourth terni?
