Do we under- stand it all? Do we appreciate the past glory of Cali- fornia? Ask the Oriental, squatting dreamy-eyed with his fuming pipe, to describe his poppy-dreams. For us also the California poppy has an inliuence-a tyrannous de- licious spell-unless we are of those who motor luxur- iously up and down the State, or travel in commercial haste along the city streets, unashamed of our ignorance of the past, feeling never a desire to learn of the men, the modes, the manners that were once realities upon the same landscapes, beneath the same California skies. The laudable effort, now being made to restore and P1'6S61'VS the California Missions is an encouraging symp- tom. Piut let us not be satisfied with mere 1'omance. Poetry and rambling phrases concerning the missions have been fed up to us even to surfeit. There are those who see in the missions nothing' but Himsy charm. For all other purposes they were stupid, crude attempts at civilization by a mediaeval, old fashioned church when no other means for civilization were at hand. There are those who look upon the missions as mere resting places for chattering tourists. mere models of a unique 5 Tl-Ili lG.N'.J7'lflN architecture. Rather, let us recognize in the missions the wisdom and adaptability of a wonderful institution. The narration of the years of slow progress, of the untold hardships, the discouraging failures, the painful journeys, the perilous voyages experienced and endured before the final establishment of the missions is CalCula'C6d to awaken in us a knowledge of what the missions rep- resented in the development of the VVest3 to suggest to us the cost of California in effort, in life and in goldl to impress us with the realization that California was not only the cradle of Pacific civilization but also the culmi- nating point of two centuries of military toil and mis- sionary progress. Truly we may with some appropriateness apply to the missionary era in California what the poet of Mantua sang of the foundation of Rome. Ta1ztae molis eraf R0- lllfl11rlIl'l1f conderr g81'Lf6111.n It was through Mexico and the trails of Sonora and Lower California that the ever advancing line of missions and missionaries found a way into the mountains and valleys of California. Mexico was first discovered in l5ll, nineteen years after the discovery of America by a Spanish navigator. At that time Mexico was the seat of the famous and magnificent empire of Montezuma. lVe first learn that the conversion of the natives was an object of the Mexican conquest, when we read in the re- port of Cortez to the emperor, dated 152-l, the following: I have sent to supplicate Your Imperial Majesty that you have the goodness to provide for this end religious persons of good life and example. fn advancing the pale of civilization from coast to coast in Mexico and in founding the pueblos of the new country, a padre always accompanied the explorers. Although it had always been the intent of the Spanish authorities in Mexico to explore and colonize California, even as late as 1768 the sea coast and valleys of our state PJTHS OF THE PADRES 9 remained unvisited, save when some lone tempest tossed bark was hurled against its shores or driven by adverse winds into the fog shrouds of its beaches. Rumors of a Russian migration from the frozen realms of Alaska in- cited the Spaniards to action. Galvez was instructed to send tvvo expeditions, one by land and one by sea, into California. This long desired opportunity was seized with joy by the Franciscan friars and especially by Father Junipero Serra, the future founder of Monterey and Carmel. In all ages men have been raised up by God, filled with the holy spirit, who, being sent forth by the Church, have brought new nations to the fold of Christ for the advancement and glory of Mother Church. Augustine Went forth at the request of Gregory and planted the cross in Kent. St. Patrick, the slave boy, carried the Gos- pel to Ireland. St. Francis sailed to Goa, and dispelled the misery and darkness of the Indies with the light of the Faith. And here the name of .lunipero should adorn the illustrious list. For despite the fact that men have never manifested to gerra a gratitude, commensurate with his incalculable deserts, they have recognized that only by his tireless, dauntless efforts, was the spiritual and material glory of California made possible. The land and sea expeditions set forth. lVe may easily imagine the hardships of the explorers aboard their ships, the weary sea nights, the ravages of dread scurvy, the anxious hours of prayer amidst the thundering sweep of the storm. And what must have been the trials of that little band of land explorers, driving their herds be- fore them through the parched deserts of lower California? Can we not see Padre Serra, hampered by his long gown footsore and exhausted, yet ever whispering a word or cheer to the slowly marching soldiers. The fruits of the labors of Serra and Don Gaspar de Portola were the missions of San Diego and San Carlos. The latter is more generally known as Carmel mission. IO THE IGNA TIQ-1 N Years of such toil and patience resulted in the establish- ment of a long chai11 of famous missions, along the 'lEl Camino Real. To recite the names of these missions from San Diego in the south to Sonoma in the north is to recite a most beautiful Litany of the Saints. VVhy do We not learn more of this wonderful period? Nllhile engrossed in the temporal activities of their missions, while attending to the field, the table and the Hock, while leading with gentle hand the strange, sad, melancholy savage along the paths of labor, the Cali- fornia missionaries bore ever in their hearts a Wonderful zeal for their higher spiritual duties. Their temporal labors were but the means by which they accomplished their nobler supernatural purpose. The feeble Indian mind could not grasp the most fundamental and primary truths: the dull edge of their intellects could not penetrate the simplest abstract problems, Their inherited slowness of comprehension convinced the wise Franciscan that, not along the path of knowledge, but along the path of honest labor and wholesome toil should the neophyte be led. Many calumnies have been uttered against the mission- aries: much criticism of the mission system has been made. An unprejudiced, diligant inquiry, however, will disclose only that which was appropriate, noble and in- nocent, will only increase the glory of the humble padres of California.. After reverting even for a moment to the mission days, after awakening memories that hover about ivied walls and lonely sanctuaries, we can not without a pang of regret turn from those warmful, interesting scenes of mission history to the cold, crumbling adobe that to-day marks in silence the old grounds and the old days. And yet all is not lost. There yet remains a beauty thriving in ruins, an enchantment surrounding whitened walls, a romance Filling the California breeze, The mis- sions are impressive still, V lish, El llum t-S blk rn. i, Tl' 'wal C kay ..!

A ii PATHS OF THE PADRES ll If the 1'll'i1'l46?d mission, a temple bereft of its ceremonies, a sanctuary without spirituality, a crumbling corpse, long since separated from the religious activity that animated it, appears, even thus, beautiful to the eye, what must have been its attractiveness, its grandeur, when it was livened by the peal of the Angelus, bestirred by the thread of sandled feet, vivified by the presence of its soul-the ritual of a practiced faith? Fair and stately in death, it must have been of a transcendent beauty in the bloom of life. The explanation of the California missions present love- liness is seen when we reflect that every great institution leaves its impress upon future ages. The temples of the Greeks are buried under the debris of years. The Roman forums are barely traceable in the dust of centuries but their influence still lives and they speak-even from their ruins. So it is with the California mission. It's beneficent influence survives. It is eloquent even in its mute and silent ruin. The California mission will last forever. The padre could exclaim, with Horace, E.rcgz7 monit- llI6'1'lfIllll acre pf.1'011ni11s! TH E IGNATIAN A Sung nf Ihr iKnah TINCEN17 VVn.1-mM HixI-L1N.xN, AB., 'l9.

SVVEIGERT, 'Zl :ltcwrdrd Gold Medal in College O7'tIf0I'l.t'ClZ Corzlcsf Out of the past with its historic condict between lovers of liberty and usurpers of authorityg out of a past, re- sounding with the clash of rebellious steel against the stone strongholds of royal power, there emerged, at last. in seventeen hundred and eighty-seven, a product of that incessant struggle, a realization of the ideals for which men had been long striving, a splendid monument of constructive political genius-the Constitution of the United States. That document, though a noble and highly successful effort to enthrone liberty upon the solid rock of union, was, after all, an experiment-to be tested in time--to be preserved and wisely interpreted by Americans, or to be nullified and misconstrued by the fanatics of future years. One problem, especially, was entrusted by hopeful patriots to the mercy of the years. How much power shall the Federal government possess, and how much power shall be reserved to the individual States? The time to defend the Federal government against the perils of nullilication, against the immoderate claims of proud, confederate States is happily past. llut the time to protect the States against the gradual encroachments of Federal power is unfortunately at hand. For, today there is a powerful minority, infected with the virus of paternalism, imbued with an intense desire to impose its narrow theories upon this nation. That eager minority is seeking to vest an unconstitutional and sinister Control in the departments of the Federal government, Years ago, Robert Hayne rose up in the senate, pleaded with eloquence and directness for his ingenious doctrine of Nullilication, boldly impugned the authority of the - -... , .. I ig THE IGNA TIAN central government. Men of the confederacy tore them- selves from the embrace of loved ones in their southern homes, marched off, and stumbled to their death ill the blood-stained ruts of honorable battlefields! Not so these modern extremists. Theirs is not the courage and the faith of the rebel, but the cunning and duplicity of the traitor. Not in masterful debate, not beneath the hot, scarlet sky of battle do they challenge the right of the States to govern themselves in matters which the States long ago reserved to themselves. But by means of deception and propaganda they wax strong. ln the vehicle of ambiguous and indirect legislation they advance their pernicious schemes, all the while lulling us into complacent optimism with their siren songs of Americanism, placating us with their evasive explanations, deceiving us with their protestations of regard for consti- tutional rights. Yet, when we decline to accept these assurances, when we wake ourselves from apathetic indifference, when we delve with inquiring mind for the truth, what do we find? lYe find a menace to the Constitution, an instrument of autocracy, a document capable of creating in America the most oppressive, the most odious of all monopolies-a monopoly over the human mind. Fraught with just such possibilities is the Smith- Towner Bill pending in the Congress of the United States today. The Smith-Towner Bill proposes to organize a new and powerful Bureau of Education at Tliashington. lt further provides that Congress shall grant to this educa- tional department an annual appropriation of a hundred million dollars. The Bureau of Education shall have power to dispose of this Federal gold to the States for educational projects--on one condition. The States must surrender the privilege of local education. The States must submit to Federal control. The States must accept THE SMITH-TOWNER BILL 19 a Federal educational program, conceived and formulated, not by an angel, not even by an acknowledged genius, but by a very ordinary, fallible, uninspired, political appointee,- titled Secretary of Education. He shall be the dispenser of wisdom! He shall be the arbiter of our destiny, our life and our thought! Under other circumstances it would be prosaic, trite, unnecessary to state that our Federal government is a government of limited and delegated power. But the pro- found ignorance or the deliberate evasion of this funda- mental principle, manifested by proponents of the Smith- Tovvner Bill, provokes an argument in reply. The Federal government, being a government of dele- gated powers and holding of its own right no original jurisdiction, may legislate, may operate, may control, only in matters enumerated and granted by the people in the Constitution. But never have the people either by ex- press grant, by implied concession or by judicial interpre- tation, delegated to the Federal government an authority to control in the matter of popular education. VVas it by oversight that the framers of the Constitution refused to confer such power upon the Federal government? Ah, no! There in old Independence Hall matters of education engaged the attention, the talents, the superlative wisdom of those men. NVhat was the decision of Wlashington, of Madison, of Franklin, yes, even of Alexander Hamilton, the Federalist? Simply this: A matter so intimately affecting the welfare of local communities should be reserved entirely to the States and is not a proper subject for Federal control. Easily seen then is the logical conclusion from these premises. W'hatever legislation seeks to vest educational control in the Federal government and to deprive the States of their traditional prerogative is inconsistent with the theory of our policy and subversive of the American Constitution. - 7 -- Al... zo TH li IGN,-1 Tl.--IX Such Federalization may be accomplished directly-or it may be accomplished indirvcz'Iy. l do not assert that the Smith-Towner Bill in its present form is a positive usurpation of control by the Federal government or a direct denial of the right of the State control. Ustensibly the bill is a generous effort on the part of the Federal government to assist and encourage State education and, apparently, makes acceptance of the Federal educational programme optional with the States. liut I do assert that the Smith-Towner llill is an attempt to accomplish, indirectly, that which would be, it accomplished directly, tiagrantly violative of the Consti- tution. The bill makes it possible for the Federal govern- ment to arrogate and assume educational control by means of the potent compulsion of Federal linance. lt depends for the attainment of its purpose upon a truth constantly demonstrated in recent years-what the Federal govern- ment Hnances, the Federal goy ernment will ultimately control. A proper understanding ot the spirit of the Constitu- tion compels us to admit that the proponents of such legis- lation are seeking to undermine what they can not safely overthrow: they are ignoring that ancient maxim of juris- prudence which says: That which may not be done directly may not be done indirectly, Advocates of the Smith-Towner llill Haunt their banners of Americanisni through the nation. Yet they are supremely inconsiderate of every American institution and the spirit of the Constitu- tion itself, when it obstructs the scheme by which they hope to Federalize the education, which rightfully belongs to the people and to the States. They are encouraging, instead of discouraging, a modern, un-American tendency toward centralization of power. Do you not recognize in such legislation a typical ehfort of self-constituted, ambitious infatuated reformers to satiate their wilful passions for state paternalism? THE SMITH-TOIICYER BILL 21 lYhere, then, are the enemies of America today? They come not in martial array, marching to the drumbeat, with bayonets flashing in the morning sun. Rther they lurk in our midst, imposing artfully upon our credulity, measuring the limits of our tolerance, availing themselves of our sense of national security. Wherever reform shall strain the ancient guarantees of liberty, wherever bigotry shall lay its fatal hands upon education, wherever ignorance shall strike at constitu- tional rights, wherever corruption shall poison the springs of national life, there are. to be found the enemies of America. Shall they triumph? The past calls to us to vindicate its wisdom, the present charges us with its treasures, the future demands of us its hopes. Let us, then, meet these enemies: let ns condemn their legislationg let us impress upon them that the existing Constitution, until changed by authentic and explicit act of the people, is binding upon all Americans-even upon the proponents of the Smith-Towner Bill, There is one method by which the objects of the bill might be legally attained. XVe can amend the Constitu- tion once more. Wie can sink into the bogs of national apostacy. lYe can dole out our liberties to the Federal government until not a drop of freemen's blood courses through our veins. Yes, we N171 amend the constitution. At the behest of an artful minority, we could sell our heri- tage for thirty pieces of silver, lint with Gods help, we shall not yield. VVe will not so disngure and mar the fine fabric of the Constitution that it shall appear before the whole world an ugly patch quilt of gaudy amendments! At a convention in eighteen hundred and forty-seven, Prince Bismark, Prussia's Iron Chancellor, expressed the theory of German government. The German Crown, he said, derives its authority by grace, not of the people, but of God and it has merely of its free will given to the people a portion of its rights. In harmony with such a ,Am-.. 22 THE IGNAI TIA N theory was the Prussian educational monopoly. A Kultus- minister at Berlin, a heirarchy of educational officials tainted the German mind with vile materialism: dulled and moulded the German intellect: inculcated the doc- trines of Kultur. The purpose of it all was the aggran- rlizement of the German State. The sad consequences of it all were: first, the development of a narrow, belligerent nationalism-than a red tide surging back and forth across the fairest harvests of Europe-barricades, massacres and revolution,-abdication, political collapse-and finally a once powerful nation prostrate and groaning beneath the crushing burden of its own autocratic past. For this were the German people educated! XYe have no Prussian political theory in America to facilitate the process of our mental eanslavement. VVhat is the American theory of government? Read it in the Declaration of Independence: All governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed. Yet there are those in America who would make the Capitol at Wlashington the spring and fountain of Ameri- can thought, that it might be poisoned, adulterated, Fed- eralizecl at its source upon the whim and caprice of every irresponsible Secretary of Education. How odious to men who love the vigor and freshness of original thought is this modern conspiracy to deliver American intelli- gence into the hands of politics, to thrust American moral- ity to the mercies of bigotry: yes-to entrust American public opinion to the very government which that public opinion should rightfully influence and control. lf the proponents of such legislation as the Smith- Towner Bill must ultimately triumph, let them at least dignify their efforts with consistency. Let them 110t undermine, evade, nullify and degrade with insult a ven- erable charter of American liberty, Rather let them rele- gate it to the shades of a past that loved libertv: let them THE SMITH-TOIVNER BILL 25 abolish the Constitution, reject it entirely and place some llismark in control at VVashington. As Americans, then, we must be vigilant. llut the time has come when as Christians we must be more than vigilant. W'e must be active. Tye must open wide our eyes that we may witness the fury with which atheism stalks abroad in the land, hurling its challenge to our powers, scofhng at our sensibilities, contemning our intel- ligence, menacing our institutions. It is high time that we take cognizance of such legislation as the Smith-Toxvner Bill, the ultimate effect of which will be to wound unto the death the splendid cause of private education. Such has been the tendency, such has been the inevitable conse- quence in every nation where nationalization of the schools has been attempted. But why should We be so solicitous for the cause of private education? Vllhat is the place of the private school in America? Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and 1ll0l'Ul'il l' are indispen- sable supportsf' These are no words of mine. They are the parting words of George lYashington in his farewell address. Religion! Morality! ls public education today sup- plying these indispensable supports? Unfortunately but by force of circumstances our educational system may not make even a pretense to a sound system of morality. For they have banished religion from the school. The chilfl goes forth from the home into the schoolroom, its eyes searching the heavens for God, its child beat craving instinctively for the spiritual. The lambs look up and are not fed. For all that the public school can offer is a blank and barren secularism. This is the place of private education in America. lfVe are not ashamed to say that there are still institutions of every Christian sect and creed that recognize God's 24 THE IGN!! TIAN place and the need of C1od's wisdom in the direction of human affairs. As Catholics we have our convents where the veiled nun teaches the child to clasp its hands in prayer. XVe have our colleges where robed priests sacri- fice their lives, that they may ground American youth in the fundamentals of Christian morality and ethics, XYill you, then, tolerate the triumph of a despicable minority with the Smith-'l'owner llill, the initial Step in a campaign which must ultimately result in the destruc- tion of the last strongholds of religion and morality in America? Will you not by your protests impress upon the proponents of this measure that we have still in America men and women whose hearts are as rich in genuine patriotism as our valleys are rich in the bounteous fruits of nature: that we have still in America men and women whose minds are as high and noble in Christian sentiment as our mountains are grand and lofty in their cloud-swept regions. And if courageously you rise to the occasion, if with loyal hearts flaming with the ardor of a righteous indig- nation, you firmly stand in defense of traditional principles of both your government and your faith, you may rest assured that the Constitution will be respected, the flag will remain secure, and the holy light which issues from the cross on Calvary's hallowed hill will case its saving beams of benediction on our country.

Such were the cries of the frightened natives of the island of Kau- loa, as they deserted their huts of grass and ran in frenzied haste to the tribal meeting place. It was the first eruption of the volcano in ten years, Huge masses of molten lava seethed to the craterls rim How madly down its side, bearing to any form of life that lay in its sound filled the air, and the whole and bubbled over, to death and destruction path. A loud hissing scene was illuminated by a red glare that made the cone of the volcano stand out in bold relief. Soon the square was filled with dark-skinned natives, all prone upon the earth, praying the god to prevent the threatened destruction of the village. The king took his customary position, and commanding attention, pre- pared to address them. lKe not alarmed my good people, he said. HAS yet we have suffered no injury. lYe must not allow ourselves to become unnecessarily frightened, for we niay be able to devise some means of averting disaster. Let us hear from our aged and wise adviser Laukuna. Arise Laukuna, and advise your people. My good friends, he began, it is indeed a great danger that threatens us. I must confess that I am at a loss to account for our misfortune. Nevertheless, there is one explanation that comes to my mind. Perhaps our all-powerful creator and master is displeased with our manner of living: For years it has been our custom to keep all visitors aixay from our shores. lVe have lived entirely by ourselves, not knowing and not caring how the rest of the ivorld served the master. It is t1'ue that A SON OF TWO WORLDS 27 We have endeavored to serve as best we knew how, but we may not have chosen a way that is pleasing in the eyes of our great father. My advice, then, good people, is that we send one of our tribe out into the world to learn how other men are living. This will take time, but in the meanwhile our good intention should protect us from the wrath of the almighty. He bowed graciously toward the king, and turning, walked slowly back to where he had been seated. lt shall be done, declared the king. lint which one of us shall be sent on this most important mission? lVhom shall l choose to be the envoy of my people? l'Lalateal Send Lalatealu Send Lalatea, the Young prince!

Lalatea. lf he had been swept helplessly along by the swift current of American every day life and activity, and finally lost forever in the dark pool of failure, no one could have said that the unexpected had happened. llnt instead. after three years of ceaseless study and toil, we find him in the city of Chicago in the person of 'lohn Strong, a young business man of keen perception and winning personality. Ever mindful of his mission, he had lost no opportunity to acquaint himself with the character- istics of the American. He had labored as men are seldom seen to labor, and in return he had had the satisfaction of reaping a golden harvest. He had met with unprecedented success in the business world, and with success had come a deep regard for American business systems and American business men. ln the midst of all this mastering of new world ideas, someone struck a chord that resounded and re- -,as-B-,.a,.. , , ZR THE IGNA TIAN sounded, and set the heart of .Iohn Strong beating with increased vigor. I-Iis mission, his island home, his busi- ness,-all were forgotten. He had fallen in love. Nlilien we find him, after three years of sipping knowledge from the American font, he is seated on a large divan before a comfortable open fireplace, and beside him is Miss Mildred VVorth. Her mass of sun- beam hair is tucked down over her ears, and her big' blue eyes are fairly sparkling with vivacity. For some time they sat in silence, while Strong gazed intently at the Flames as they Hickered to and fro. Finally he spoke. For three years I have rushed studying, learning' more of its customs, thinking of my people. If there to notice their presence every day of nothing were girls But from madly on, working, of your world and except the salvation around me, I failed the First moment I met you everything has been dilterent. Since then. I have been able to think of only one thing. Fate has drawn me across the waters to your side, and fate has put this consuming desire for you into my heart. I dare not drive it out: I could not even if I would. It isnit because I do not love you that I hesitate to promise to marry you, she replied, but because I realize that you are not free. You owe a debt to your people that must be paid. How could I marry you, knowing that by so doing I was keeping you from them? If you will promise to leave at once for your island home, I will agree to marry you on your return. She paused and waited for his answer. Hut, he interrupted, what will become of my business interests? I cannot leave them uncared for. I will take care of them. Gordon Phillips is as clever a young fellow as you would want to represent you, and he will do anything that I request. A SON OF TWO IVORLDS 29 Mildred, he whispered, there is one thing that money cannot buy. lt is as priceless as the stars of the heavens. Vlfe all strive to obtain it, and I will promise to return to my people if you will be mine when I return. Then followed days of happy planning, days in which he realized as he never had before the joy of living. Mildred arranged a meeting with Gordon Phillips, the out- come of which was that the latter was given full charge of his business interests. All too soon came the day of his departure. He had made Phillips promise to entertain Mildred in his absence, but the thought of his own loneliness depressed him. HI have a wonderful message for my people, he said to her as they waited for the train to pull out. America and the American life are wonderful. They must not cut themselves off from the outside world. Since I have been here, l have realized that every one has a definite, active part to play in the great scheme of life. that there is no room for idle onlookers. The bell rang, and with a fervent promise to return as soon as possible. he left her. San Francisco and the end of the hrst lap of his journey found him still more depressed. Hoping that the fresh sea breeze would revive his spirits, he took a trip to the beach. As he stood on the esplanade, gazing out at the white-capped billows rushing fiercely in and breaking harmlessly on the glistening sand, he felt even more the desire to abandon his trip and return to Chicago. lt was as if some powerful magnetic force was exerting an in- fluence over him, drawing him back to the girl of his dreams. lN l1y should I leave happiness behind me, he re- flected, when this mission was thrust upon me? A picture of his island home drifted before him. There was his father. waiting nervously for his return. Then sud- denly this vision faded away. He turned, and walked toward 30 THE IGNA TIAN the city with a look of determination upon his face. The call of his people had been drowned out by another call, and he was going backfback to her and l1HPPll'1C5S- No, madam is not inf, replied the maid to his inquiry. ll-ut you will find her at the cafe with Mr. Phillips. He summoned a taxi and sped toward her favorite dining place. It was nice of Gordon to be watching out for her. he reflected, as he was carried noiselessly through the darkened streets. liut oh, how glad she would be to see him! The machine dashed up to the curb and stopped. He leaped out, and entering the restaurant, sought the head waiter. Yes, Miss VVorth was there-in box 24. He hurried nervously upstairs and down the passageway to box 24. He could hear their voices. Suddenly he stopped. Mildred was laughing gayly. Certainly she could not be feeling very sad over his absence. He advanced a few steps further, and then hesitated before the portiere that hid the couple within from view, Gordon was speaking. 'AI must congratulate you on the way you handled him. You are certainly a wonder. Hllut he was so easy. Mildred replied. too easy in fact to make it interesting. 'il wonder how he will act when he returns and linds that I have gotten away with all of his money. Like the fool that he is. llut don't let that worry you, You should worry how he acts as long as you have his little wad tucked safely away. By this time Strong was all but overcome with rage. The realization that these two had played with him as a spider plays with a fly, pierced him like a knife. And he had been caught in the web! His brow was knit, his lists were clenched, his blood coursed through his veins like mad. XYith one slash of his arm he swept the portieres from their fastenings. and stood before the couple in the YOOIU. They stared hlankly at him in amazement, their llfr llxvfher Q E .. 1 - ' illlllfx i inf i' - X. I il A SON OF TWO WORLDS 31 faces paling, their breath coming with difficulty. For several seconds no one moved. Finally Phillips recovered somewhat, and made a leap for the door. Quick as a beast of the forest John was upon him, and flung him back into the room. For a moment he allowed him to lie where he had fallen, but then, rushing at him, he grabbed for his throat, and caught it in his vice-like grip. Realizing that he had met his master, Gordon made no attempt to offer resistance, but instead, endeavored to beg for mercy. Mercy! Mercy! hissed John, 'LVVho are you that you should seek mercy at my hands? You who have tricked me, you who have played me for the fool and robbed me. now come whining to me for mercy. He laughed fiendishly. The snares that were meant for me have caught you. you cur, and you will pay the penalty. His fingers tightened slowly, and as they did so the muscles of the defeated man's forehead stood out like knots of iron. The end would come soon, Strong bent over the prostrate form of his foe. a queer smile playing about his lips. As he waited for the last Hicker of life to die out, the sound of music came to his ears from the Hoor below. He listened. It was an Hawaiian orchestra playing the soft. soothing strains of the islands. The plaintive tone of the steel guitar, quivering like a leaf in the breeze, stood out above the rest. His thoughts went back to his home, to his people who were waiting for his return. For a moment he gazed into space. Then, allowing the all but lifeless form to fall to the Hoor, he turned, and trembling, left the room. The tribal meeting place was thronged with eager, re- joicing natives. Not a sound could be heard, save the swishing of the waters against the nearby shore, as the king rose and stood before his assembled people. .

Lalatea, clad in the garb of his people, stood by the side of his father. He gazed silently at the simple, god- fearing natives drawn up before him, and then began. More than three years ago I left you to go to the far-off land of America. I was to study the customs of the Americans, and then advise you as to whether you should change your mode of living.. I have studied their customs, I have learned their ways, I have lived as they live, and now I have returned to give you counsel. The American people serve their god with an ever- lasting devotion. No effort, no task is too great. In childhood they are taught to worship at the altar of this deity, and in later years they never cease to bow down in homage. But this god is not our god. It is a false god. Money. riches, wealth-whatever you wish to call it, is what they seek, is what they serve. For the possession of it lives are sacrificed and loves are forgotten. The clink of golden coins striking against each other is the only celestial music for which they long. Good people, you are fortunate that you have no de- sire for that which the world seeks. No false god re- ceives the homage that belongs to the great and just pre- server of our race. Continue in the future to keep the white man and his customs far from our isle. Lead the free. simple life of our ancestors. and you will ever be pleasing in the eyes of our all-powerful father. So saying. he strode through the crowded square, on down to the waters edge.

FITZPATRICK, '21 NYelcomed as the herald of a new and grander freedom, dreaded as the precursor of lawlessness and discord, lifted to the pinnacles of praise, plunged to the depths of ridi- cule and scorn, despised for its barbarism, acclaimed in its idealism, yet all the while, in one guise or another occupying the center of man's attention, is the topic today of Bolshevism. NVhat is it? lVhence has it sprung? XX'hat must we think of it? Are we to embrace or reject its tenets? These and a hundred other questions of a similar character clamor for our solution. According to the accepted definition of its defenders, Bolsheyism means the rule of the majority, and Bolshe- vik is the Russian word for one of the majority. It is a new system that has come to us as a product of the surging spirit of reform, a spirit that is sweeping the world, so recently relieved from the horrid tension of history's greatest war. That we may examine it more closely, that we may see it functioning, and with discriminating eye separate the good from the bad in it, the true from the false, its improvements upon and deteriorations from the policy of the old order, let us look toward Russia,-the new Russia, the cradle of llolshevism, where today from Petrograd to Yladivostok, from the Black Sea to the White, the great experiment in government is being made. There we find an industrial republic, a government of workingmen with the duly elected representatives of work- ingmen administering the offices of State. From every corner of the vast white country, now we see them come, the delegates of the emancipated millions. Most apparent is the fact that the system of govern- ment has been radically changed.

Freedom has been given the oppressed. The peasant enslaved and worked by a heart- less cruelty in the icy-hell of the Siberian silver mines. the peasant ever a despicable and degraded creature, the jest and mockery of wealth, has finally been released, and today stands blinking and bewildered, his eyes alight with happiness, his body warmed by the rays ot freedonfs joyous sunlight. Out of the dust where for centuries he has grov- eled before the gilded panoply of power, the Soviet has raised him, and now, his own master, he stands vested with a new and becoming dignity and clothed in the robes of a sovereignty which tyranny long denied him, From out the dispiriting gloom of a world of ghastly horrors peopled with the threatening specters of privation and disease, from a life so wretched, an existence so aimless and subversive of ambition that death was often welcomed as a relief, the soviet has rescued the peasantry of Russia. And as the brazen doors of suppression are wrenched from the cells of these modern slaves, a Hood of light is admitted to dispel the darkness of the centuries. It is the light of education, and through its blessed medium is re- vealed for the first time to the wondering gaze of the serf the wealth and heaped-up treasure of human knowledge. At last he is permitted to indulge his tastes, to somewhat appease the gnawing hunger of his starved and cramped intelligence. The fields of art, of letters, and of science tempt his exploration. Because of this, the advocates of the Soviet say that ambition stirs the blood which tyranny made stagnant, and all through the agency of reform, all through rebellion against established order and authority. all through Bolshevism. But even granting that freedom makes possible the education of the masses, their ignorance makes them gullible. Wfith the wondering credulity of children, they hang on every utterance of their leaders and with the unquestioning 36 THE fciivii TIAN confidence of children they accept their representations as unassailable truth. For centuries these covvering victims have tracked through the desert sands of ignorance. Their intellects, parched and fevered. have yearned to drink from the foun- tain-heads of knowledge. Today they stand on the palm- shaded banks of the oasis and the crystal lake calls tempt- ingly to them to gratify their thirst. In their joy they lose their reason. Stitling the voice of prudence, which advises them to sip sparingly and cautionsly at first lest the dread chill strike their hearts, they plunge headlong in the pool and are swallowed in the depths. The burning intensity of their desire for drink unfitted them for their plunge. So it is with the Bolsheviks. They, it is true. have opened the ways to knowledge but have neglected properly to prepare the populace for its reception. The result is most disastrous and we find a people clinging with the same tenacity to a false idea with which a more reasonable being would hold to a true precept. The strength of their belief is the strength of political fanaticism, and we see in Russia a nation wherein a new tyranny has been substituted for the old, a nation ruled by a spirit of vengeful prejudice, a nation where the leveler of persons has become the destroyer of rights. lntoxicated with the spirit of reform, maddened by the memories of a long period of cruel despotism, the iconoclast swings his axe and together with the idols are felled the very pillars of the temple of government 'til the whole structure totters and crumbles and falls in ruinous collapse. ln their anxiety forever to destroy the dangerous derelict of Czarism, narrowness has shown its hand and the Soviet has failed to salvage from the wreck those spars and beams of principle and right which are necessary to all sane government. Without their robust strength to bind and co- ordinate its parts the craft of the Bolshevistic state is a Weak md fragile N532 the plaything of the tempests, sooner SOLID ROCK OR SHIFTING S. -IND 37 or later to be engulfed in the swirling vortex of political experiment. And the spars and beams of which l speak, that are so necessary to the safety of the vessel, are those ever recog- nized, long established rights of the individual and of the family, the right of private property and the principle of the inviolability of the marriage relation. Yet Bolshevism rejects them both and condemns them as destructive social equality. llolshevism as it is understood and practised in Russia today involves a tremendous confiscation of private property. The time-honored right of the individual to possess land is scrapped as a relic of tyranny. Yet the rule of the majority will only substitute a new form of tyranny for the old. What therefore can be the merits after all of such a change? In a preceding paragraph we stated the contention of the advocates of the Soviet that in Russia, with the throwing open of the portals of education, ambition will be stirred in the hearts of the wretched and indifferent. ls this true? Does it not seem that Bolshevism would be rather a strangler of ambition? Does it not remove one of man's most frequent motives for the desire to increase the extent of his knowledge. a hope by so doing, of personal ag- grandizement. Under Bolshevism, which is in truth based on the false premise of a natural equality among men, the personality of the individual is lost, is merged in that of society in general. Man chafing under the restraints of a democracy that is in itself a tyranny, deprived of all reasonable hope to increase his fortunes and his power, becomes apathetic and listless in his toil, dissatisfied with his government, while in his heart the ambition, that might otherwise have been directed into the peaceful channels of social or financial betterment is transformed into a con- suming desire to be free, not now from the haughty arro- gance of a distainful nobility, but from the narrow oppres- 38 THE IGN!! TIA N sion and crushing intolerance of the masses the1nselV6S. And now let us consider the second and most crying evil of this new governmental system. lt is the destruction of the marriage tie. With one sweep of legislation's sacri- legious blade it would in the name of social equality and enlightenment, sever the holy bonds of love, would disrupt forever the sweet blessedness of family life, would shatter the peace and sanctity of the home, and ignoring the pro- tests of the finer sensibilities of man and Woman. would make their union a gross and sordid thing, a thing un- worthy of the rational possessors of immortal souls. Yet this new government, this democracy of the Russian Soviet countenances and advocates just such a repellant measure as has been pictured. Moreover it styles this-Progress and a triumph of Freedom. Rather should we call it a triumph of animality over morality and conscience. By the hateful and offensive construction which the Bolshevik places upon the meaning of marriage, it loses the sacred significance which ages have attached to it and assures the form of an officially recognized polygamy. Progress-this? .-Xh nol-degrading retrogression. Yet upon these shifting sands of legalized corruption would the llolshevist rear the palace of a State. l-le would strengthen and solidify the house of a community by knocking from under it, its very props and foundations, the character and morals of its individual members. :X building can he no more secure than the groundwork which sustains it. In like manner the strength of a nation is no greater than that of the individuals which comprise it. The vision of the Bolshevik is obscured by hatred: the intelligence of the Bolshevik is warped by narrowness and suspicion. Whether the tyranny he has suffered and the horrors he has endured excuse his hatred and suspicion are immaterial questions here. All we need consider are the consequences of Z1 manner of reisonino' that is so dis- ' b torted by passlon. and stamped by prejudice as his is. SOLID ROCK OR SHIFTING SAND 39 And the consequences are as appalling as they are obvious. For Bolshevism merely supersedes Czarism in the throne of injustice. To correct evils it destroys rights. It chains the men of Russia to the wheels of an unnatural slavery: it dooms them to walk through life on the receding steps of a treadmill where labor is rewarded by neither progress nor the hope of betterment. And the women of Russia? Their plight is still more pitiable. The Soviet strips them of their dignity and hurls them down from the place of reverence which is their birth-right as the mothers of man- kind, denies their chastity even the poor protection of governmental law and, depriving them the shelter of both husband and of home, exposes them in the name of equality and expediency to the passions of the mob. Bolshevism then is most patently not progress. The Czarist is no more extreme than the Bolshevistg and though the regime of the old Russian nobility was stigmatized by despotism and corruption, it at least preserved some sem- blance of virtue and morality, and of respect for human rights by which its reign was rendered tolerable in the eyes of civilized peoples. The ideals of the Bolshevik may be noble. Certainly social equality and the happiness of millions are worthy of ambition. But when they become destructive of rights and the principles of common decency, they must be fore- gone. Not until Bolshevism perceives the errors of its ways and corrects them: not until it realizes that national reformation is dependent, not upon the conhscation of tradi- tional rights and the destruction of family ties, but upon the moral regeneration of the individuals.-not until then can it reasonably hope to establish a nrm, just government in Russia, one whose existence will be a credit to civilization, a monument to its founders and a blessing to its people.

In the 'Nineties-and I am eva , sure it is so today-St. Ignatius Col- 'XWQ-- - - - - ,II W legians were swift and unhesitating 24311 - judges of boy-character, And because these judgments were largely instinctive, they were usually quite correct. Wie proceeded at once to appraise the Two Brothers. VVe learned that their father was dead, and that their mother was mother and father to them. Their father had come from the Isle of Saints, their mother from a city of the Rhine which has been dominated for cen- turies by one of the worlds greatest cathedrals. So the Two Brothers came naturally by a piety as simple as it was sincere and unobtrusive. And considering the ex- cellent mixture of their blood, it did not surprise us that they were endowed with exceptional brains. Piety and brains--an excellent combination! But not enough to endear two strangers to a San Francisco crowd like ours. It speedily appeared, however, that the Two Brothers could give and take a jest or a blow: that they had mastered the games to which we gave our more serious thoughts: that their code in campus and class room was our code: in a single expressive word, that they Hbelongedf' So the Two Brothers were welcomed into the charmed circle of our intimacy. That circle, drawn in the 'Nine- ties, has expanded and contracted as the years decreed. But it is still our circle. And the Two Brothers are still in it. It did not take us long to discover that the bond between the Two Brothers and their widowed mother WHS GXU'?lO1'fli1121rily close. IVith the rest of us nlial THE TWO BROTHERS 41 affection was St1'Ol'10', but its strength did not preclude bu thoughtlessness and the inliiction of pain. I doubt mother. Wfe saw them there with their arms about each whether either of the Two Brothers ever hurt the heart of his mother. It seemed that their purpose in life was to make her happy, and as the years brought keener insight, they came to know that she had set her ideal of happiness so high that it was very close to Heaven. In brief, she hoped passionately that her two sons might be called to the priesthood. This ground is hallowed, and I would fain walk reverently. Ilut I am made bold by the knowledge that mothers are very close to God, and that holy widows have an exalted place in the Communion of Saints. So I dare fancy that as soon as they discovered this hope of their mother's. it became their hope too. And I like to think that two sacred vocations were conceived in a desire to please a mother, and brought forth by that mother's prayers. For several years now the Two Ilrothers have been priests. They are not the only priests in that circle ot ours which was drawn in the 'Nineties, but no others are closer to its center. And of no others can it be so truly said that they taught us many things good for our hearts and souls long before they embraced teaching as their sacred profession. Furthermore, there are no others in our circle-priests or laymen-whose lives have been 'fall of a piece to the same extent as the lives of these Two Brothers. That was obviously true yesterday. It is not so ob- viously true today. For some of us have just been standing with the Two Brothers at the grave of their other's shoulders. lVe heard their human anguish over the words of The mother has departed 'from her triangle of love has been broken at voices break with divine consolation. sons.

One of his periodic dream trips, all the way back to the Swanee River and coon hunts and cotton plants, seemed inevitable. But the library! VVith a maximum of energy and a minimum of efficiency, Sam moved laboriously about the antique arm chairs and tables, dusting here and there, replacing volumes, smoothing the ruffled rug with the unskilful assistance of his big, unre- sponsive feet. He had just clasped the massive Bible when a curious manuscript on jebson VVhitaker's desk magically opened the flood gates of his soul and let the tingling cur- rents of curiosity course through his veins. The paper was large and map-like, carefully creased, marked with crosses, winding lines and marginal notes. Sam, yielding to a racial propensity for reverencing cat's paws and things mystic, approached the desk. VVithout touching it, he perused the contents of the paper. It puz- zled him at first, but on further scrutiny it seemed to bear an uncanny likeness to those wondrous treasure maps about which novelists love to write. Sam, who had indulged him- self in such impressive literature, perceived the similarity. The sight of the strange document. with its notations of latitude and longitude, its weird and foreign names. was for Sam a revelation of the next world. Lord! Sam gulped. 'fAh'd betta call Liza.

That happened six years ago. The present altercation between father and son, however, was not of a nature to admit of such a happy compromise. Matrimony is not like suburban real estate. Rural land owners will subdivide to suit buyers. In matrimony you take the whole tract or nothing. It's all wrong, complained black. The dad's got a moral chill from sailing so high in the clouds of sanctity: says your father was an agent of the devil, You know, Claire, how they fought each other, bickering and accusing each other in newspapers, conventions and meetings. You remember when they met by accident on the committee to welcome the Sixty-third from France. Dad was in the re- viewing stand. Your father took the seat beside him. and what happened? My dad stood up and said something about it being a disgrace for a notorious brewery owner to sit on the same stand with Christian gentlemen. That re- mark cost a tail from his coat. Then Jebson tlattened your fathers plug hat with his cane and, when they both tumbled off the reviewing stand. dad broke his arm. He's never got over that, Claire. He swears he'll never give his consent to our marriage. THE ISLE THAT JACK FOUND 49 Jack paused. A feeling of ineffable gratitude surged within him as he discerned the Hitting cloud of disappoint- ment hover over the exquisite and usually bright features of Claire Conlon.

There must be something in that reckless, impulsive. hare-brained determination that enables Americans to scare sand dunes into cities by sheer power of will. Perhaps they are lucky. At any rate the first response of fate was the flap and clatter of African feet on the hardwood lloor of the club room. Why, Sam! Howdy, Miss Claire, howdy Massa lack. Oh! Massa. ah's got it!

Presently the disturb- ing element emerged from the crowd and ambled with un- even gait down the left aisle. Samuel Tussapher, undaunted by the gaze of thousands, shuffled right up to the platform. 'Z-Xh's sorry to interrup' massa's 'ration, but dis heali letter says 'Rush' Ah's got to speak with him d'rectly. The word was whispered along to the frustrated hero at the rostrum, who tortured his face into a stupid grin, bowed awkwardly and approached Sam at the edge of the plat- form.

VVI-HT12, AB. Robert Hugh Benson, noted writer of Catholic tiction, was born at Vifellington College, Cambridge. in 1871. He came of a family of writers. It was hardly to be expected, however, that this member of the family should also be a writer, Yet his early environment was highly literary. The father's habits led the family on Sunday afternoon walks, during which they discussed such subjects as literature, religion or botany. The father was a clergyman who after- wards became the Archbishop of Canterbury. Hugh Benson, however, gave no indication of ability during boyhood. He was bashful, stuttered a tritie. and was not remarkably attentive to his studies. :Xt Harrow and Eton he showed little of the personal magnetism and talent that later appeared. His tastes were different from the rest of the family, and he received the lowest marks in scholarship. At Cambridge, however, a change was notice- able. He became more industrious, worked harder, and mixed more with the college men and joined one or two societies. At Cambridge he studied the classics. but they did not appeal to him. He directed his attention to other subjects entirely foreign to the course of studies, such as mesmerism, or spiritism. Although unprofitable to the course of studies, these pursuits furnished material for his novels later on, 1t was in 1891 at Cambridge that Benson formed his in- tention to become a clergyman. In the year 1893 he went to Llandaff House to study for ordination under Dean Vaughan, and in the following year he took Orders in the Anglican Church. His first assignment was the Eton Mission. The regu- lar round of visiting parishioners, and the monotonous re- current duties of similar nature did not appeal to Benson. He accordingly entered an Anglican monastery at llirfield S4 THE IGNA TIAN lt was here that a change of faith took place. After a year of study, filled with prayer, retreat and correspondence with leaders of both sides, he left the Anglican Church and espoused Catholicity. lVhen he became a Catholic he desired to enter upon the Catholic priesthood and, with that intention in mind, he went to Rome. After a stay of one year in the Holy City, Robert Hugh llenson, son of the Archbishop of Can- terbury, was ordained a Roman Catholic priest. He returned to England, where after being relieved from his duties as a parish priest, he took up his life Work of writing and preaching. He continued this career until his death in l9l4. Benson is entirely and singleheartedly a Catholic, and this fact naturally influences his Writings. ln each novel Catholic characters appear. Often they are the ideal char- acters of the book. More often they are not. Benson does not make his Catholic characters great: rather, he makes them human. In the historical novels, priests appear as the main characters. An interesting story can not be built about dull and unimportant routine. Moreover, it is a fact which appeals to the novelist that priests face more perils, and succeed or fail more picturesquely than ordinary men. lt is but natural, then, for one writing about Catholics of this period to write concerning priests. Of Benson's historical novels The Kings Achievement and By VVhat Authority?'l are worthy of particular notice because of the fact that llenson has written into them part of his own story. ln the lirst of these two the leading role is taken by a Protestant, and the conclusion, from a religious viewpoint, is ambiguous. This was written while llenson was still an Anglican. ln the second of these two, the main character is born a Protestant, but meets several Catholics and, despite the old stumbling block of authority, is converted. This was l3enson's point in his own con- VCl'Sl0l'l. MONSIGNOR BENSON 55 The other books of this period treat of the Catholic life from the time of Henry YI to Charles Il. They as a class tell of the life of the Catholic people of those times, the precautions that were taken against persecutions, the efforts made against them. In his group of modern novels Henson writes of the laity. I-Ie treats of some particular phase of character in their lives. Human beings are selhsh in their nature: they have their opinions, and whatever does not correspond with those preconceived opinions is put aside as of no value and as unworthy of notice. In Loneliness and Initiation this point is emphasized. In the former the heroine attempts to reconcile her religious training with a desire to marry a non-Catholic. She almost succeeds. But the lonely light before the tabernacle warns her of the fact that spiritual loneliness is sadder and more oppressive than human lone- liness. In t'Initiation Sir Nevill objects to being troubled with severe headaches. That which is suggestive of pain is to be shunned and he even begins to shun his religion, because of its reference to pain. But the imminence of death brings him to the knowledge that pain in this world is to be borne patiently rather than shunned. In the other books of this group Benson attacks a certain class of people who think and act according to certain for- mulae of what is proper and suitable. Nothing of the na- ture of a scandal, not even a faint breath, must approach theni. Any individual who is different, unconventional. is to be weeded out. A rapid tluctuation or wave on the stream of events is an unheard-of horror. Ilenson in several books treats of such an attitude. In the Sentimentalist my lady is afraid of the opinion of others while she pro- fesses to scorn it. In other books a custom of convention will be broken. Benson combats the idea that it is wrong to break the chain of events by daring to assert one's own individuality. VVhile at Cambridge Benson became much interested in Spiritism. He later embodied his investigations in this line S6 THE 1aN.4 TIAN in the Necromancers. There are two other works of llenson which compose the third group and are worthy of particular notice. He permits his imagination to range on the subject of the Antichrist. He first shows the rise of Materialism and the gradual downfall of all spiritual re- ligion. .-X man, lfelsenburgh, rises from obscurity and by his own personality unites the whole world under himself as sovereign. Then a new religion is commenced. Rome is destroyed. Three cardinals escape and elect one of their number Pope. The Antichrist forces learn of the location of the new Pope through treachery. Falsenburgh, the Anti- christ, collects a fleet of aircraft to destroy him. The Lord of the World, however, is not to be destroyed by this power, but survives to the end of the world. ln the Dawn of All llenson swings as far to the other side, and shows the triumph of Catholicism. The Pope is restored to his temporal sovereignty and becomes the arbi- ter among nationsg the Church becomes the established re- ligion, and the last opposition is overcome. Science of all kind, of government, social, medical, practical. all, under the protection of religion have made enormous advances. llenson as a writer was always in a hurry to hnish his work. lYhen the first enthusiasm came he was all ahre and his subject took hold of him to the exclusion of everything else. Naturally such an interest burned itself out very quickly. llenson could not spend many years composing, polishing and improving one single book. This is admitted in his letters to his friends. Unce he was finished with a book all further work of correction was drudgery. This haste, however, did not cause Benson to slight his work. A few unpolished places exist, and some of his minor charac- ters are very shadowy, leaving the impression that he meant to come back and finish them. The few dull spots, how- ever, do not detract from the interest and tone of the nar- rative. Vln the whole. the works of Robert Hugh Benson will long continue to be read, for they are stories of human beings in spite of their faults. A Erihutr tn EI Zllrirnh IN TWEMIJRY or MR.

BIAROIEVICII, '2l. One balmy day I was approached by the Editor of the IGN.-vr1.'xN and asked to submit a composition for the pub- lication. I was well satisfied with myself and my impor- tance. My mind naturally ran to subjects of a verv heavy, erudite and serious sort. 1 i On the following day. however. the Editor informed me that the IGNATLXN was becoming' too serious and high- browish. He wanted something very light and jocose. I at first thought of telling him to hire a clown: for in truth I was in doubt as to whether his request was a slam or a compliment to my natural literary ability. Then it dawned upon me that this was a fine opportunity to prove a favorite thesis of mine. It takes more brains to compose a foolish article than it does to compose a sensible onefl So I prom- ised an article, having in mind-:Xrchibalfl Archibald! Nice name, don't you think?

Archie resembled his Prominent Pater in many Re- spects. He had a Xlfonderful Head for Chewing Gum. So the Father set his Precocious Son up in Business. Three Hundred and Sixty-five days after the Twentieth Anniver- sary of his Birth, Archie traveled Through the Arctic Regions selling Dentyne Gum to the Blonde Esquimaux. There it was that he Lost his heart and his Right I.imb. The latter was torn from him in an Encounter with a Wild Aurora Borealis.

Then a terrible Thirst beset him-a thirst for adventure. Equipping himself with a Cut-Down Ford and a Step- fast artificial Leg, Archie started out to Hog-Tie Phickle Phortune.

THE CRUMBLING Everywhere the light is dawning OF AN EMPIRE for the peoples of the Earth: never was Freedom more within the grasp of the masses: never has the equality of man been sounded with more vehemence or effect. Out of the phenomenon stands one great portent- the sun of I3ritain's glory is setting: they are blind who will not see it. Into the fermenting depths of India and Persia presses that strange Hame that emanates from the manumitted serfs of Russia: Call it Bolshevism: Call it Diabolism: Call it anything' you will: it is Freedom, and against its fanatic force will fail alike the gleaming' line of rilie barrels and the insidious toils of the dread ally, Upium. South Africa demands its Liberty: as long as it suits their own policies, and no longer, will Canada and Australia remain within the Empire, not 64 TH E I G N Al TIAN from whose degenerate loins they sprangg for they are cleaner, more stalwart lands than ever were nursed at the breast of Slaveryg let 'Ypres attest that and Wfytschaete Ridge. They are the sons of exiled Irish and adventurous French. And what shall we say of Ireland? That the task is beyond her strength? That against the flame of the mitrailleusc and the rumble of the tanks all her hope and strength and valor are in vain? Then we must belie Thermopylae and Marathon, aye, and Saratoga. For never have sheer strength and mercenary arms sufhced against the constancy and courage of the patriot: Greece and Switzerland know thatg America has established it beyond argument. As sure as the stars shine in Heaven is Ireland fated to Freedom: seven hundred years of torture has but fired her courage anew: with that she cannot fail: let once the storm break and the artificial bonds and rusted chains of Britain's sway will be swept before it like chaff before the tempest-and the storm is breaking! V V. IV. H. To those who are the least bit observant, it is evident that our old world is pretty well het up. There is what we call the social question. The IT'S ALL social question is nothing more than the WRONG struggle which is going on between the man with the hoe and the man who owns the hoe-between labor and capital. No longer is the storm gathering from afar offg the tempest has already burst, and the industrial Held takes the aspect of a windy day. There is no longer a question of bettering the condi- tion of the working class. That condition has been already bettered. The fact is that the very existence of the present order of things is threatened. The radical does not talk of bettering but of knocking the blocks down and build- ing them up again in a new fashion. EDITORIAL 65 W'e have on the one hand, then, the man of property -the CAPITALIST-who has everything at stake. lfle represents the present order. He has his ears close to the ground, realizes that his interests are in danger and is quick to launch a campaign against the apostles of the new order. Thus far we are with him, and we are willing that every Red who advocates the firebrand be either jailed or deported. But the capitalist will make a big mistake if he at- tempts to make the natural popular resentment against Socialism and Bolshevism the aegis beneath which he may continue his old tricks and methods. NYe are not rising to the defense of the capitalist with eulogies nor under the impression that he is more sinned against than sinningf' XVe are fully aware of the fact that in the past he has caused a great deal of trouble with his selfishness, his unscrupulous meddling with government, his stupid refusal to recognize in labor nothing more than a profitable commodity. So, let him not take our opposition to the radical as a personal compliment to his integrity and innocence. XYe are 'lon to him. lVe have eyes to see many industrial evils in the present order. lVe however differ from the radical in our condem- nation of those evils in that we impute them not to the system but to the man. Though there is great need for eco- nomic improvement in the present system, it is not in- herently bad, The Hagrant evils for which the Red condemns the 'fcapitalistic system are but the results of unrestrained selfishness and immorality among the individuals composing the Hsystemf' If we are to reform the industrial world, we must start in with our- selves and then proceed to accomplish the moral regen- eration oi individual men. This is the real problem. Yet we have the RADTCALS. They constitute a minority of the laboring class. The vast majority of laboring men are sane and intelligent enough to realize 66 TH E IGNA Tl N that their lot will not be improved by a destruction of the present order. The Utopian dreams and promises of the radicals are based upon the false assumption that, if the external economic form is changed, the same men who are today self-seeking and avaricious will become generous, and public-spirited.. Absurd! Economic justice depends upon individual justice based upon a sound system of morality. The radical sees beyond the smoke of revolution a scene of brotherhood and industrial equality. Yet he makes no provision for the virtues necessary to sustain his Utopia. But what are we going to do about it? For the present let us gather up the host of wild- eyed. bewhiskered, soft-shirted, ranting demagogues and radicals, who howl about injustice yet offer no sensible solution. Pile them in a boat and set them sailing. But we are only half done! Many of our prominent men make the mistake of considering that they have done their duty when they get this far. Wie must also gather up that host of stupid, trouble- some, disgusting, stiff-shirted, hypocritical profiteers. They should be wearing the same striped uniform as Eugene Debs. For, they are equally dangerous and infinitely more culpable. This is the immediate remedy. Let us bear this in mind when voting for our next President. The general, industrial health restorative is, as we have said, a moral regeneration of individuals. The big question is, How are we going to do it?', Education without God? A joke! Church meetings without unity, truth and constancy? A joke! Law with- out morality? A joke! Ethics without religion? A joke! XVC are trying them all. Some day We will discover the only way! Until then I suppose we must keep on trying to empty the ocean with a perforated bucket! VVe mav succeed, but-as someone said-HI have me doots. H XV. T.

Usually when a student graduates and leaves the scenes of his boyhood days he forgets all about his Alma Mater and all he owes to her. He is too busy in the hurry and bustle of human affairs, trying to wrest a living from the avaricious world to remember his past college days. But there are exceptions to all rules and some of these exceptions are the Alumni of St. Ignatius University. VVho executed and directed the work of the recent Con- servation League of St. Ignatius? Wlho gave their time, money and ability so willingly and in so great abundance? Of course with all due respect and many thanks to the innumerable friends of St. Ignatius who worked so hard and so faithfully, it will be readily admitted that the success of the drive was in great part due to the Alumni on whose shoulders fell the brunt and burden of the work. especially as regards the organization of the campaign and the execution of the trust. Each and every Alumnus stepped to the fore and contributed his share, not only finan- cially but also in work and labor. Hence the Fathers of St. Ignatius take this opportunity to express in writing their heartfelt appreciation and thank- fulness to the Alumni for their unceasing efforts in prose- cuting the drive to a successful close, and for their par- ticipation in such a noble and honorable cause. Leo Lennon, A.1I., Ph.D., L. LII., the legal member of the Lennon family, returned from Europe where he put in good work as a K. C. Secretary. He abandoned '99 his law practice completely to accept this position. Only recently he has taken up hispractice again. 68 THE I GZVA TIAN Ed. O'Day, A.

He has been appointed '00 to take charge of the Publicity Department of that company. Stanislaus Riley, A. M., L. L. Il., is to be congratulated on receiving one of the most sought after positions in San Francisco, i. e., Assistant District Attorney. No 'OO doubt Mr, Brady recognized the value of having such strong and virile men as Stan Riley and Bill Golden in his retinue. Wfell, we feel sorry for those who are to come into Stan's courtroom, i. e. Judge VVard'S courtroom, because if he examines and cross-examines them with as much zeal and energy as he does his students, they may as well plead guilty. joe Murphy, A.I'3., the irrepressible, is now trying his hand at selling Marmon Automobiles. Versatility must be Ioe's middle name, but let it be said and said ,01 with emphasis that whatever he does, he does well. Take for instance the Knights of Columbus Drive and the St. Ignatius Drive, both of which Joe managed. Who could have executed them better?

Wlhile down there he served with much distinction on the Panama Commission, '02 to which he was appointed. Few there are who do not remember him as the brilliant expounder of Blackstone at St. Ignatius College of Law, and the originator of that beautiful oracle, Beware the man who says he knows all of the law.', ALUMNI NOTES 69 Mr. John A. Lennon, SJ., was one of the chosen few to finish his studies for the priesthood in Iingland. He sailed last summer and according to communica- '07 tions received by his relatives and friends, he is well satisfied. Just before Lent a brilliant wedding took place at St. Ignatius Church with Ilob Rossi, US., as the happy groom and Miss Nellie Mahoney as the bride. '08 Rossi is the younger of the famous Rossi twins. Charles Knights, A.B., LL.l3., was appointed Law Professor at St. Ignatius in Raymond I:eely's place. From all indications he seems to be holding down the '12 professional position with as much facility and ease as his predecessor. Harold Caulfield, A.B,, LL. R., was eieereei to the coveted position of Deputy Grand Knight of the Knights of Columbus-San Francisco Council No, 615. '13 Usually such high honors do not fall to such a young man, but have been reserved for the older generation. However, as I have remarked, Harold's ability has been appreciated and he has been elected to the aforementioned office. It was indeed with much rejoicing that the many friends of Raymond T, Feely, fX.INI., LLB.. learned of his intention to join the -Iesuit Order. Ancient '14 and honorable as that Order may be. it is to be congratulated on the acquisition of such a learned and honorable young man. His popularity is unbounded and his friends innumerable. In fact he was one of the most promising young attorneys in San Fran- cisco, and the liar Association has indeed lost one of its cherished hopes. Despite his extreme youth, he was regarded as qualified as an instructor, and hence was appointed one of the Professors of Law at St. Ignatius University. Many and prominent are the offices he held in different organizations, some of which are Past-Presi- dent of Ignatian Council of the Young llen's Institute, 70 THE IGNATL-IN Recorder of the Knights of Columbus, San Francisco Council No. 615, Secretary of the Alumni of St. Ignatius University and many others. As soon as the welcome news was received, some of his closer friends presented him with a handsome silver watch, just a very small token of their affection, good-will and esteem. His decision in pursuing his evident chosen profession is hailed with joy by those who know his sterling qualities. VVe wish you all the joy and success that your sacred duties may bring you, Ray, and may you perform them as Well as you have performed your former lay duties. This is a sufficient benediction in itself. Warreit Brown, A.B., of literary fame, has recently taken unto himself a wife as the Bible says. But besides this he has also taken the position of '15 Sporting Editor of The Call . Good luck to you, VVarren, in both enterprises, but I imagine you must be a pretty busy man nowadays with your duties as a husband and Sporting Editor. Right behind him and holding Harold Cauliield's old office of Chancellor. is joseph Sweeney, A. M., LL. B., all ofwhose spare time is taken up by telling Registrar '15 Zemansky at the City Hall what to do and how to do it. Paul Ahern, B. S., sailed for Honolulu about a month ago. just after being honorably discharged from a captaincy in the army, the Standard Oil Company '16 offered him an opportunity to go to the Hawaiian Islands to superintend the building of their plants there, Needless to say, Paul accepted and is now on his way to take up his duties.

Therefore, it is right, just and most befitting to begin our review of the Department of Law by introducing those whose untiring efforts and constant attention have made it possible for students to seek St. lgnatius Law College for a complete, thorough and excellent knowledge of the Law.

To substantiate this last statement, l need select only one of the many qualities these men possess as teachers of law, namely, their power to equip the student with suffi- cient knowledge, not only to pass the test given by the State Board of Examiners, but to establish a fairly success- ful and lucrative practice long before their appointed time. A concrete example of this may be taken from last year's graduation class, all of whom were judged practicing attorneys by the State of California long before the ordinary time allotted professors to equip students with knowledge of the Law.

Havent we then earned such a distinction? XVhy should we now bear the faculty exams or the further scrutinizing test of our tutors? Let it be said, however, that the records of the class of twenty in former years should fit them for the final test.

Stepping LAW SCHOOL NOTES 75 from the class room into the room of the District Court of Appeal and Bar Examiners, they successfully passed the ex- aminations and were admitted to the Bar. Chic Wfiseman preferred to be associated with a legal firm instead of re- maining with the railroads, and has made an advantageous changeg McDonald, Yargas and Larrecou have been with law firms for the past two years. Let it be said of the re- maining embryo lawyers of the class, Tissot, Sullivan, O'Brien, Ross and Donahue, that they have never yet lost a case. Still achieving, still pursuing, the hluniors will soon pass the third milestone in their course of legal studies. The semester fast gliding past has been a busy JUNIOR CLASS one, but its close finds the students of the class still earnest and diligent in the pursuit of their studies. This year has added Equity, Probate, Corporation, and Constitutional Law to their storehouse of legal knowledge. Like bold gladiators of old, two of their number, namely, Vincent Hallinan and Jordan lllartinelli, entered the arena at the last Bar examination held by the new commission created by the Legislature of 1919. They survived the ordeal and were admitted to practice in -lanuary last. Attorney Martinelli is now associated with his father in practice in the thriving metropolis of San Rafael: while Attorney Hallinan fmore proudly acknowledged as Sinn Feineril has assumed the role of junior counselor in the law office of Attorney Dan Ryan. Oh, yes, it is said that Ryan helps Yin Among other celebrities in the class may be mentioned Mel Cronin and Terry Boyle who did their bit on the basketball team that won so many victories for St. lgnatius in the season's games. ln the Constitutional Law class not many evenings ago the professor called on Mr, Nolan, a bright satellite, 76 THE IGNATIAN and asked: VVhat takes place when a president dies in office ? Nolan, after some hesitation, answered, Why- er-they bury him. Wfhat does Mel Cronin mean-it is a mystery- when he claimed to be a victim of circumstances? It may not be amiss to add here that only a Philadelphia lawyer can equal our Irish student, Mike Riordan, in the progress he is making this term in all our courses. It is to be regretted that some of the classmates who started the law course find they are unable to continue their studies because of matters more important occupy- ing their attention and time. VVe sincerely hope the future will find them able, ready and willing to finish the course they so well began. During the early part of the semester Mr. Feely, who was teaching us C.orpora- tion law, resigned from the faculty and is now studying for the Jesuit order at Los Gatos. He is succeeded by Mr. Frank Barrett, both a disciplinarian and thorough teacher. ------i- A word to a Sophomore is sufficient. CAVE! Classmate. Like the price of commodities, the size of the professor's guns have SOPHOMORES increased. They are using a double- barrel to hunt us down this year. VVith careful sight and steady aim, their first shot will be the mid-year exam. Ere the smoke of battle lifts and the wounded seek shelter, Prof. Colonel McKinley will be seen arranging the faculty staff, with Prof. Farry's canons of descent drawn up in the rear, pre- pared to blaze away a red hot faculty examination. Under a fusillade of questions from the staff's sharp- shooters the student must look well for his defenses Let them be real defenses! lt might be said without the slightest fear of pre- tension, that the Sophomores for the past two years have dug deep into the musty volumes of the law. There, LAIV SCHOOL NOTES 77 they find secure shelter. As a reward for past labor, they are safely entrenched from the faculty's fast fire and deadly barrage of technical questions. In a word, the threat of a faculty examination only serves as an inducement for deeper study. Alasl sad news for the Missionites: The taxi service to and from school has been discontinued.

During that time Father Foote labored incessantly for the betterment of the col- lege and won the admiration and confidence of every stu- dent by his genial personality. Fr, Foote is at present engaged in knocking the academic corners from the heads of a number of Juniors and in smoothing and rounding them with the application of a philosophical plane. A holiday was granted on August 28th in honor of Fr. Moores installation as president. The students through the Ignatian take this opportunity to formally welcome Fr. Moore as president and to express their desire to cooperate with him at all times, Fr. Moore has been engaged in the noble but arduous missionary work of his order among the Japanese for many years. He has been successful in all his labors. lYe hope and pray that the same success will attend his administration as president of our college. The Philalethic Debating Society, an organization com- posed of students of the Law College, has been holding its meetings regularly every Wfednes- PHILALETHIC day evening. Interest in this society DEBATING has been revived after a long period of SOCIETY apathy and indifference, during the war days. The debates, as a rule, are calm and deliberative-contests in intellectual shadow U.YlVERSITl NOTES 81 boxing and forensic sparring. The only knockout occurred on the night on which the Irish question was considered.

Sweigertq Vice- President, Edward T. Eitzpatrickg Secretary, George Sulli- vang Treasurer, Eugene O'Donnell. The Philalethic Society held its annual debate for the Benjamin L. McKinley Gold Medal on Wlecliiesday evening, May Sth, in Santa Maria Hall of the Knights of Columbus Building. The subject of the debate was Government Ownership of the Railroads. The affirmative side was made up of Messrs. C.arl Ausmus, Samuel Holcenberg and Samuel Deal. The negative side consisted of Messrs. Edmund Scott, Leon Castel and Chester Ohlandt. The medal was awarded to Mr. Leon Castel. Hon. Edward P. Shortall, Benjamin L, McKinley and Father Hunt acted as judges of the debate and Wvilliam T. Sweigert presided as Chairman.

Cvold Medal, This medal is awarded an- UNIVERSITY nually to the College man who delivers ORATORICAL the best original oration. The contest CONTEST took place this year on Tuesday eve- ning, March 23, in St. Tgnatius Hall. Mr. Charles Tloden of the Freshman class delivered a scathing invective against the Bolshevists. Mr. Edmund Scott, '21, spoke convincingly and with arguments drawn from fundamental principles, which are too little appreci- ated today, upon the League of Nations. Then rose Mr. Nicholas Mareovich, '21, with a stirring and heart-felt plea for the outraged people of Dalmatia. SZ THE I GNA TIAN lie was truly eloquent on this occasion and was heartily applauded for his magnificent effort in behalf of a cause which is close to his heart. Mr. XVilliam T. Sweigert, '21, then took the floor and also the gold medal with an eloquent speech against the Smith-Towner liill, now pending in Congress. The last speaker was Mr. Chester Uhlandt of the Senior class. A very polished delivery and an array of convincing argu- ments brought the speaker a generous round of applause. The awarding of the medal to Mr. Sweigert was made by Hon. .lurlge Crothers. The remaining judges were Mr. john gl. Hayes, President of Ignatiari Council. Y. M. I.. and Mr. Paul Fitzgerald. Mr. Edward T. Fitzpatrick presided as Chairman of the evening. Nhat else could be expected? The St. -lohn Berchman Sanctuary Society is still true to its old traditions: it still carries on its noble work of ministration SANCTUARY at the Altar of God.

Then they told us what it was all about. The members of the crack basketball team were to receive their big red and blue block sweaters. Then the speech spasm, inevita- able on such occasions, fell upon the gathering. Even Terry Boyle, next years basketball captain, made a speech in which he guaranteed another winner for 1921. Dur old friend, Coach -loe Ryan, also received a block sweater and let the boys in on the fact that Mr. Acquista- pace's kind and competent advice during the season was responsible in great measure for the team's success. lYalter O'Connor was on hand to say a word or two for the Alumni. Yep, these Smokers are great things. Most of us remember the last Smoker perpetrated at Saint Ignatius, when lYarren Brown and Lee Jacobson, etc., astounded the Conservatives of that time with a tremendous bust, For the first time in many years our college debaters went forth from the local forum into new and strange fields. A big dual debate with Stan- STANFORD- ford University is a matter of record ST. IGNATIUS for this year. On May 12th three DEBATE Saint Ignatius debaters, arguing in favor of Government Ownership of the Railroads, met the Cardinal debaters in San Francisco, Un the following evening three more Saint Ignatius debaters journeyed to Stanford and debated against Gor- ernment Ownership of the Railroads. The men who up- held our colors in San Francisco were Melvin I, Cronin, Darrell XV. Daly and Frank Ainsworth. Victor Clarke. Edward Fitzpatrick and IVilliam Sweigert debated for Saint Ignatius in the Asembly Hall of Stanford University. 84 TH E IGNA TIA N The men in the Pre-Medical course are all enthusiastic about the way their course is being conducted. Doc O'Meara and Doc Ed. Hughes are PRE-MEDICAL strong for the new prof, Dr. I. Felton Taylor. His energetic efforts are making the course more attractive and efficient than ever. During the Irish Bond Drive the law classes took an opportunity to make public their attitude on the Irish question.

It is almost unnecessary to say that the boys missed many of their old friends of past years. Former members of the faculty are at St. Ignatius no longer.

Great was the joy occasioned by the announcement that the ever generous benefactress of the Jesuit Urder, Hrs. Bertha XVelch, is to erect a residence THE NEW for the community on the lot east of St. FACULTY Ignatius Church. This gift comes at a BUILDING time when financial difficulty made it vain better living to expect an early realization of hopes for accommodations for the faculty of St. Ignatius College. This gift of Mrs. XVelch is by no means the first of her bounty, as those acquainted with the history of St. Ignatius will remember. The members of the Society of Jesus as well as the many friends of the fathers will offer fervent thanksgiving to God for such a favor and beg blessings upon the giver.

The deciding game of the California-Nevada llasket- ball League for the season of 1020 took place in Reno on March 6th. Had St. lgnatius been victorious, there would have been a triple tie and we would have had another try for the championship. But sic fafzzrf' etc.. St. Ignatius failed to deliver the goods and Nevada won the Dennant. But what are a dozen pennants compared to the honor of being the first team to defeat the Los Angeles Athletic Club, ex-champs of the United States. XVe'll say old St, Ignatius was right there when she handed the boys from the Land of the Movies their Hrst defeat in four years! Apart from her two defeats in the California-Nevada League, her only defeats of the season, Saint Ignatius hung the crepe on many an honor-seeking aspirant out- side of the League, including the Athens Club of Oak- land, who by the way, claimed that our St. Ignatius- Los Angeles Athletic Club game was only a preliminary to their contest with that renowned club, on the fol- lowing night. But alasl They nourished vain hopes of victory. Fort Scott, Alcatraz and many other soldier and club teams around the bay will vouch for the cleverness of our budding A.l3.'s, LL.l3.'s and ll.D.'s. The season began exceptionally early this year, the first practice being held before Christmas. fllvhile the Call for future heroes was still echoing in the corridors of our temple of learning, Capt.

On January 10th, the squad traveled down to Palo Alto where they participated in their first game of the League season against the Cardinal quintet. Regardless of the wonderful battle we put up against Stanford, our efforts were in vain, for in the finish we came out at the short end on the score book. However, were it not for the unusual size of the court, we do not doubt that the figures would have been different. But aside from alibis we certainly have to congratulate the team on their admirable showing, especially because they did not lose heart, but like all true hghting St. Ignatius teams they 'lcame back stronger and more determined than ever in their next tussle. St. Ignatius, 393 Davis Farm, 29. Nile are forced to sympathize with the boys from the Farm for they came down to the city to play us at the wrong time. Wfith the defeat of Stanford fresh in our breasts and the overwhelming victory over the Athens Club of Oakland fresh in our memories, we met Davis Farm on our own court. Perhaps the breaks were against us or perhaps we were a little over anxious for at half time things looked kind of panicky with the score only 18-l7 in our favor. In the second half Speed Cro- nin, shaking' the seeds of slumber from his dreary eyes, toffether with Capt. Eddie and Lauterwasser bCU'3,1'1 tg 5 A 5 ATHLETIC NOTES 91 show some of the old time form. After the addition of Auggie Johnsen, the outcome of the game was never in doubt. The efforts of the forwards in the second half gave Ray lYilliamson and Terry Royle at guard a few intervals of rest, for i11 the first half these two custo- dians of the baskets bore the brunt of the Davis attack and smeared enough trys to give them a couple of games, St. Ignatius, 453 College of Pacific, 17. During' the interval between the Davis game and the 6 s College of Pacific game, we had the pleasure, if not the honor, of defeating Fort Scott and one or two other teams about the city. Then College of Pacific came to town to receive the same dose that was handed to Davis Farm. The only difference being that College of Pacific found us in better humor and in much better form. After the game had been put on ice, through the com- bined efforts of Captain Eddie, Cronin and Johnson, the second team was given a chance to distinguish them- selves. lVallis, Schweitzer, Barry, Larrecou and Santan Fitzgerald, substituting for the victorious lirst team. The second team, as is nearly always the case. put up as good if not a better game than the first and had tal- lied quite a few points up to the hnal whistle. The clever limb-manipulations of Speed Cronin ap- palled and awed the admiring spectators, while the fancy shooting of Auggie Johnsen quite took their breath away. St. Ignatius, 313 Santa Clara, 27. How the mighty have fallen. On the 25th of February our eager warriors played Santa Clara on their Hoor. Here our boys slipped the Missionites a pretty little surprise. After kidding the innocent and unsuspecting defenders and rooters of the Red and YX'hite through the whole first half, Auggie Johnsen and a roguish lad from the Sunset District, Mel Cronin, took the ball away from the Santa Clara boys 92 TH E 1 G N11 TIA N and showed them how the game ought to be played. During their first real basketball lesson of the season, the rude Santa Clara boys were so inhospitable as to attempt to take the ball away from ns. This so aggra- vated Ray XfYilliamson that he took the law tand also the balll into his own hands and shot three baskets. After his little exhibition Ray politely retired to his proper station and contented himself with helping Terry Hoyle prevent the S. C. lads from getting too rambunc- tious. Neither Larrecou nor llarry were behind in giv- ing their little instructions to the home boys. St. Ignatius, 23g Nevada, 47. Un Friday night, March Sth, our championship team left for Reno to play Nevada for the title. The men making the trip were: Captain Holkenbuhr, johnson, Cronin, Boyle, XYilliamson, Larrecou, Vllallis, llarry and Fitzgerald. They were confident that they were to be the Pacific Coast champions after the Nevada game. The reason for this was our victory over the L. A. A. C. and the two defeats the Nevada team received at their hands. Moreover, the team played a thirty-minute practice with the unlimited team of the Qlyrnpic Club a few days before on their court and thoroughly out- classed them. The game started with a rush, the ball was thrown in the air and tapped, lllilliamson got it and passed to Johnson, who in turn shot and made the basket. From this on the game began to seesaw back and forth, until the Hrst half ended with Nevada seven points ahead: the score being 19 to 12. This did not dampen the spirits of our team. Between halves the boys determined to stage a comeback similar to the one at Santa Clara. The second half started with a rush, neither side making ri basket for about five minutes' play. Then the --l THLETIC NO TES 93 team seemed to weaken and Nevada kept increasing her lead. johnson and Mollcenbuhr shot at least fifteen times without making a basket: the ball just would not ht in. Cronin was taken out and lloyle went in. The next man out was Johnson, who was given a seat by the um- pire for telling him in plain business-like language what a Fine umpire he was in calling' nearly lifteen fouls on our men and none on Nevada. -lohnson's words were costly, but the umpire seemed to have realized what he was doing and called his first foul on Nevada when one of our players was tripped by a Nevada man. The next man out was Molkenbuhr. Barry took Eddies place and tried to take the lead from Nevada, but it was impossible. The game ended with Nevada leading by a 47 to 23 score. The champions have a wonderful team and, though disappointed, we extend congratulations. After sitting down on the train for our homewarfl journey a meeting' of the team was held and Terrence Royle was elected captain for l92l. St. Ignatius 403 L. A. Athletic Club 35 Youe'e'l.ucKv - .

U4 THE IGNA TIA N On the 25th of February, four days after our victory over Santa Clara, a team from the South known as the Los Angeles Athletic Club and also known at that time as the holders of the U. S. National Championship, came to San Francisco to start their tour of the continent. They intended to make their first game a big victory over St. Ignatius. But what we want and what we get are very different-don'tcha know. The Champions received one of the nicest surprises in all of their history. For four years this team was invincible, winning every game they played, thereby holding a perfect record. Well, this night they came out to the old S. T. court and beheld a mob of rooters. It was the fastest, most exciting game on record. Some are skeptical as to how we did it. But if they consult the records they will find one big reason in the person of Auggie Johnson, who shot 28 of the 40 points tallied. No less deserving are the guards, especially Ray VVilliamson who astonished the whole crowd by his dashing rushes, which broke up many a promising shot at the basket. He was ably assisted in this work by Terry Boyle, who hung back as Ray went up and smothered many a pass under the basket. Speed Cronin and Capt. Eddie were also on the fioor and if they did not shoot, they fed Auggie who sim- ply could not miss. The first half ended in a tie, 23-23. Everybody was doubtful whether we could keep up the terrific pace. But we did. The score see-sawed. In the last few minutes, Molkenbuhr, Cronin, Vllilliamson and Boyle were re- lieved by Schweitzer, Larrecou, Lauterwasser and Vlfal- lis. These men, fresh and willing, took up the battle where the exhausted first team left ofif. Schweitzer shot the winning basket and Los Angeles received their first defeat in four years, at the hands of a Red and Blue team.

The revival of the gentle pastime, was fraught with innumerable difficulties. among them being a late start, lack of weight and inexperience. Nevertheless, these disadvantages, which might have overcome less reso- lute hearts, failed to dampen the ardor of the fgnatians. lfVhen the call to arms was sounded, about thirty of the more ferocious element among the students, turned out en masse in the St. Ignatius Stadium, where Coach W'arman and his able assistant Ishi Maroevich, Apollo's Protege, succeeded in whipping them into a fairly efficient football eleven. At the termination of the practice period, during which the iodine and arnica played no insignificant role, and during which many an adolescing youth ex- perienced sensations that increased his vocabulary, a sched- ule was arranged and once again the High School gladi- ators ventured into the Football arena. The following gentlemen utilized their barbarous in- stincts to great advantage and obtained places on the regular team: Gilly, Brown, Turner, Clancy, Glynn, lfeany, O'Connell, Abrahamsen, O'l3rien tCapt.J, Sweigert, Ban- non. Our reinforcements comprised the following, who never failed to come through with a kick in the hour of ad- versity, linemen: Popes, Gallagher, O'D'onnell, Devine. Doyle, Makall, Kelly, McQuaide, Ryan, Purcell, Chl, Car- roll. The late start in the season compelled us to limit our schedule to contests with Commerce, Potter and Sacred HIGH SCHOOL ,17'HL13r1cS 97 Heart. The game against Commerce was the hnest tilt of the season. After Considerable running, sprawling, pushing, kicking, the dust hnally cleared away and the keyboard poundersn emerged from the struggle on the crarpnlent extremity of a 13 to G 'score Then followed a defeat at the hands of the Potter wrecking crew whose speed and experience proved fatal to our warriors. A 28 to 3 score sounds rather one-sided, but the score is certainly no eri- terion by which we can judge this affair. Although defeat was served out to us, the stiff opposition and desperate defense put up by our men was such as we may well be proud of. The concluding game of the season was played against our traditional rival from Sacred Heart. Qver a decade had passed since the two Catholic institutions had exf changed punts on the gridiron, and a defeat for either team would have been a severe humiliation. Captain 0yBfiCI1 was unable to play on account of an injury sustained in the game against Potter: while Phil Bannan, our lusty full-back entered the fray with a fractured bone in his hand. Our chances for bringing home the bacon, seemed to dwindle under the gloom of these unfortunate circum- stances. Yet, fate was lenient. The contest finally ended in a 6 to 6 tie, and with it the 1919 Football season slipped away into history. INTERCLASS This year both the Tnterclass Baseball and Basketball titles were annexed by the Third Year High. There seems to be a charm on the junior year in High School, for this same thing occurred last year when the present fourth year set the precedent. Since it required something more than mere luck to subdue the fourth and second year class- men, we are inclined to believe that the charm of the third year consisted of a wallop in both hands. The interclass affairs stirred up plenty of rivalry and renewed W U HIGH SCHOOL GRADS G.. Abrahamson H. Owens J. Doran Ft. Fulton C. Ruggles E. Corbett S. Labagh W. Kropp Fr. G. G. Fox, S. J. H.

Third Year crawled out from the ropes a winner, only after it had beaten down considerable oppo- sition. The Third Year High enjoys the honor of being the first class to hold the Austin T. Howard trophy. This cup is a perpetual trophy for lnterclass Basketball. It was pre- sented to the Student Body of the High School by the members of the present Fourth Year High, in memory of their deceased professor. The trophy, no doubt was in great measure responsible for the interest and rivalry dis- played by all the teams throughout the entire tournament. BASKETBALL A general manifestation of pep and enthusiasm her- alded the advent of the Basketball season. To Mr. A. Qyarzo, Athletic Moderator of the High School, is due the gratitude and appreciation of the Student Body, for with- out his unselhsh efforts in the interests of the basketball teams, the season would have been far less successful. There were four quintets flying the colors of the High School this year. The earlier part of the season was given over to the 100 and 120 pound teams, while the latter part saw the heavier squads of the 130 and 145 pound teams. The 100 pound team was the first to be seen in action. These little fellows fought their way through numerous outside games, invariably emerging on the long end of the score. Their speed and clever Hoor work enabled them to wade through the S. F. A. L. tournament, conquering the fast quintets of Lowell and Sacred Heart. Unfortunately they lost the division championship to Lick-Xlfilmerding by the scant margin of two baskets. The players were: Laughlin, Brannan, Mackin, McAuliffe, Corbett, O'Gara, Callan, Meyer and Lawless. The 120 pound team was the High School's best entry. This scrapping little bunch, literally tore through the season, HIGH SCHOOL .JTHLETICS 101 leaving but two defeats to dim the glory of their achieve- ments. It was composed of men who had played together for two seasons, and who had developed a machine that hit on all fours. Lowell, Lick-lllilinercling, and Sacred Heart were among their victims in the S. F. A. L. Tournament. As luck would have it, this quintet after a most successful season lost the city championship to Polytechnic by one solitary basket. Our twenties led through almost the entire game, but the ancestral jinx realized in the last Z0 seconds of play that St. Ignatius was about to win a championship, and consequently a diminutive Oriental from Poly shut his eyes and rung the deciding basket. It is hard, all right, to lose the coveted laurels of a championship, but never is it so hard as when they are snatched from our very brow. The line-up of the hard luck brigade con- sisted of the following gentlemen: Forwards: Lane, Cul- linan, Cunningham: Center: Horrisseyg guards: Keith and Cavanagh, the latter winner of the H. S. block. The surprise of the season was furnished by the 130 pound team. There was not much hope entertained for the thirties at the start of the season. Contrary to all ex- pectations they came through in real style. Their records show victories over Poly, Mission and Lowell, the latter losing the S. F. A. L. division championship to our basketers. Qur victory over Lowell gave us the right to play Cogswell for the championship of the league. Here again Fate intervened and slipped us a washer. The thirties swallowed a 2-l to 16 defeat. The success of this team was largely due to Capt. jeff Gaffney, who possesses the happy faculty of ringing goals from any angle of the court. The other members of the team who receive circle blocks are: Kelly, BlcSweeney. Gilly, Clancy, Oslsen. llcQuaide, Quinlan, Farrell, and Mullaney. Unfortunately the 145 pound team was pitted against 120 LB. BASEBALL TEAM Keith, Lane, Cunningham, Cavanagh 1Capt.7, Cullinan, Morrissey 110 LB. BASEBALL TEAM Cgllan Meyer Mr. Oyarzo, S. J.

Thanks to his ability and indefatigable spirit, the team was rescued from many a tight situation. Mc- Cormick and 'Spider' Kelly also distinguished themselves in this division. The lineup consisted of the following players: Forwards, Capt. fYl3rien, lXlcCormick3 center, Kelly! guards, Glynn, Sweigert, Popes, Devine and Madden. BASEBALL The baseball season has just begun at St. Ignatius. The team is captained by Pete Daley, who holds down the position at third base. Pete possesses an arm like a catapult, and enjoys knocking a perfectly good 32.00 ball for a row of sacks. Kelly, Cullinan and Hall complete the infield. The outfield is taken care of by Turner, McDonald and jeff Gaffney. Giovani Clancy and Gugliel1no McSweeny'arie sending the fast ones across the plate for the High School team. Both evi- dently have more on the ball than their hngers. To1nmy't Ryan is receiving them in great fashion. Those whom the team can rely upon in emergencies are: Keith, Mc- Carthy and Brown. The team has already hung' up the scalps of Potter, Licka Wfilmerding, Hitchcock, Fremont High of Oakland and their old rivals from Sacred Heart. The latter succumbed in their first S. F. A. L, tilt by a score of 3 to 2. Under the competent direction of Mr. A. Oyarzo, S. I., the team should make a strong bid for the S. Ti. A. L. championship. Here's hoping that they knock the jinX for a homer and come sliding in with the honors. C11 aries F. 5 ztie'ige1'f.
