I TRIBUTE IS PAID
TO BISHOP
CRLMONT
The Dally Times Is In receipt of a
recent copy of the Northwest Catho
lic Progress, published at Seattle,
which haH the following deserved
eulogy of a man who 's well known
and greatly respected throughout
Alaska:
To obtain a story of the life and
| works of Bishop Crlmont, you most go
, into the Land of the Midnight Sun.
| where he has fhbored. and there you
will find it engraved in deep and In
delible characters across the rugged
land and rugged souls which he has
labored to reclaim to Almighty God.
The story is there, and It Is pure gold,
but you must dig it from the frozen
ribs of the Northland as the miner
does the precious metal — you can
not get it from his lips.
It was in 1868. in Picardy, France,
; that Bishop Crlmont was born. His
life work was planned early. At 12
years he entered the Jesuit college,
in 1876 he entered the Society of
Jesus at St. Acheuel. where he studied
for seven years. In 1886 he came to
Woodstock, Md., and two years later
was ordained a priest by Cardinal Gib
bons. Several years were then spent
as a missionary among thd Crow In
dians, and in 1894 he was sent to Alas
ka. In 1901 he was called to the pre
sidency of Gonzaga College at Spo
kane, which made great strides under
his scholarly direction. In 1904 he
was called back to Alaska to succeed
Father J. B. Rene as prefect apostolic.
Holy Cross Mission, on the lower
Yukon,-about 400 miles from St. Mi
chael, was where Bishop Crlmont be
gan his first labors in Alaska. Nearly
a quarter of a century has elapsed
and his labors have borne rich fruit.
Seward's dream — fantastic as the
northern lights In '67—lias been real
ized. Alaska has made wonderful
i progress in civilizing her great terri
! lory and the Cross has ever been in
the van. The vicarate apostolic of
Alaska comprises a territory equal in
size to that of all the states east of
the Mississippi river. Its broad ex
panse is dotted here and there with
permanent churches and mission si a
lions, administered to by twenty-two
priests of the Society of Jesus. There
are, moreover, ten lay brothers of the
society and rirty-seven Sisters of Char
ity of Providence, of St. Ann, St. Jo
seph of Peace and the Ursuline Nuns,
who conduct six hospitals, four board
ing schools, five day schools and an
orphanage. The number of children
cared for in these institutions totals
428. During Bishop Crimont's admin
istration as prefect apostolic there
have been built modern hospitals at
Fairbanks and Seward, an up to date
parochial school at Juneau, beautiful
edifices of worship at Valdez, Cordova,
Seward, Anchorage and Idltarod, be
sides which many mission stations
have been erected and six others are
1 now In the course of construction.

NEW YORK. Aug. 14. — Since the
best days of the Chicago Cubs, the
famous old Pirates, and the Tigers,
who won an American league cham
plonschip, the west hasn’t held such
a prominent place in baseball as it
now is hanging to. The pep and dash
of the Cardinals and Reds and the
possibilities in the appointment of <
Fred Mitchell as manager of the Cubs,
are thrilling the westerners. Indica
tions are now that even if they don't
attain the top of the peak this year,
the Reds and Cardinals are going to
be hard to head next year. If the Reds
or Cardinals should win a pennant
—Oh, Boy! what a life it would be in
St. Louis or Cincinnati.
Chicago won its last National league
pennant in 1910, and Detroit wa» the
last western club to represent the Am
erican league in a world’s series strug
gle. It has been Beven years since the
west horned into the fall baseball
season.
In case Chicago wins the American
league pennant this year, as is being
variously predicted, and In case the
Giants live up to their supporters’
claims, it will be the first time that
teams from tho nation’s two largest
cities have done conflict on the dia
mond in a world's series. With the
natural rivalry existing between the
huge population centers, a world's ser
ies scattered between the shores of
Lake Michigan and the Atlantic ccean
should be a humdinger, with ul! the
trimmings.
Miller Huggins sent his newest
pitching find, Goodwin, against the
Phillies In his first start, and he was
good enough to Bhut out the one-time
fearsome men of Moran. The Phil
lies, instead of perking up when John
Evers added his temperament to their
assets — or liabilities — went stead
ily down the chute.

A Fable For Pacifists
By Samual Hopkins Adams of tha Vig
ilantaa.
IN time of General War among the
Insect Tribes the Bees remained
at Peace. That they might conduct
their Pursuits unhampered, the Honey
Bees chose as thetr leaders certain
Sting Bees of Courage and Prowess to
guard (heir Inter
ests, their Lives
and their Honor.
To these Guardi
ans came Slayers
from among the
Tribe of Ruthless
Spiders, saying:
"Henceforth the
Air Is forbidden
to your Wings,
for there are
Spread our Webs
for our Enemies."
“But the Air is
our proper Prov
ince," protested
the Chosen I,ead- Samuel hopkins
erg of the Bees. adams.
“Shut out from it how shall we
continue to exist In Prosperity and
Honor?'"
“That Is nothing to Cs,“ replied the
Ruthless Spiders. “Whoso disobeys
our Orders we will destroy. Be
warned.”
“This thing we will not Endure,"
said the Bee Leaders, and they set
xbout spreading their Wings and sharp
enlng thetr Stings for Combat.
But as they prepared to fight there
'rose from among the Mass of Honey
Bees u clamor of Pacifist Buzzers, cry
ing out In many voices (some of which
echoed the Bidder accent):
“It Is not the will of the tribe that
s-e go to war. Make no movement un
:11 opportunity is given for all to vote
jpou the question.”
So the Chosen ladders were bound to
nactlon, awaiting the vote of the
Honey Bees, w hose Interest and lives
md honor they guarded.
Wheu In tlie course of tribal events
he vote had lieen registered the Paol
1st Buzzers were overthrown by the re
lentment of an angered tribe, and the
word went out to the Chosen Leaders:
“Onr honor has been assailed, our
will Is for wur, go forth and tight.”
But the Chosen Leaders did not fight.
They could not.
They were dead.
The Ruthless Spiders had killed them.
And when the Bee tribe, late and
eaderless, took the air they were en
angled In the webs of the Ruthless
Spiders and utterly destroyed.
Moral—Wheu honor Is assailed the
Initiative Is Mightier than the Refer
endum.
