COLUMBUS DAY.

Columbus Day is the most recent member of our family of legal holidays. Curiously enough, though last established, it commemorates the first event in our history. Tomorrow America is returning Columbus' call though she has dwelt in rather snobbish isolation for the last one hundred and forty years. But she is now making the return call with all possible courtesy.

Columbus opened an epoch when he sailed to America in 1492, America is opening another epoch by sailing with aid and comfort to save Europe and the world from its unruly elements. It is a fitting return for what Europe, in the person of Columbus, did for America.

Let us on this day not only commemorate the discovery of America by Europe; but proudly watch the progress of the discovery of Europe by America.
