finally settled. So far Mgr. Satollitt
mission has been productive Of much
good to the Church in America. Deepite
the petty squalls OF contradiction arising
for time in certain ecclesiastical storm
centres, he has brought to us peace and
tranquility, and he has inspired Oatho-
lies with greater confidence in the zeal
and watchfalness Of the Holy Sesasor

Bishop Stanley has published the fol-
lowing reply to the Prohibition fanatics
in the Fargo Argus: returned to Fargo
last night after weeks absence to find
my desk groaning under load of news
papers and letters. Opening them, to
my amazement and amusement, find
myself denounced in ali the moods and
lenses as an enemy of temperance, be-
cause forsooth, had the common sense
to tell the people of this state that our
prohibitory legislation ie non Operative,
and to ask either for the enforcement OF
the law Or for something that will be
enforced. The creature who can take
any other meaning out of letter which
I tried to write in the plainest kind of
English, 80 that seven fool could not
err therein" Is suffering from a hopeless
attack of intellectual strabismus. "f
the people want prohibition" wrote af-
ter showing how the law is being vio-
lated, "let them insist upon it's enforce
ment. Ifthey do not want it let them have
the courage to say SO, and do away with
it, and give us some means of regulating
the traffic in hell BROTH" have never
written line against the theory of pro-
hibition, and have done more solid far
reaching and lasting work for temper
ance than all my critics combined shall
accomplish. In the interest of temper
ance wrote my views onour actual situ-
alton. And now phantom fighters all
over the country denounce me and my
Church for the best advice North Dakota
ever got. am told to go back to school.
I am accused of being in the pay of the
whiskey ring. am called maligner Of
the farmers and liar. am denounced
for holding conversation with Kellogg.
I am abused for speaking to wholesale
liquor men. Well, the last two counts in
the Indictment are true, the others false.
But, Mr.. Editor, must contritely con-
fess that I have done even worse, Par
don me, ye good people; last Wednesday
night-oh, how shall tell It'll shook
hands cordially and broke bread with I.
G. Wade! I! / didn't chance to meet
Griffin & Co, and I don't know whom
Go. represents in that concern, or I might
be obliged to admit hand shake with
them too. There are three classes Of
people with whom it is rash and unpro-
fitable to argue-drunken mon, fish
women and fanatics. / therefore decline
to enter the lists and thrust greatness
upon any of those who have designedly,
I fear, misunderstood my meaning and
used language far from gentlenaanlike.
My object has been accomplished, be-
lieve. We will now either have prohibi-
tion in reality or something else in its
place, and the drink curse must 60.

Willis L. Moore, director Of the Wis
consin weather service, speaks as follows
about the climate of Wisconsin: TIE
climate 9f Wisconsin is one Of the most
healthful il the United States. With IN
annual rainfall sufficient to give the state
high rank in agriculture, it's atmosphere

breeding germs that our mortality record
is as low as the lowest, in some cases the
death rate not being over one bali what
it is in southern and eastern states. In
the east we have heard people refer to
the air Of Wisconsin as vapor-laden from
the lakes Nothing can be further from
the truth. The general easterly move
mont Of all air carries the ascending va
