3,100 dozen, or $1,000, and at the price
paid-12 cents per dozen-bringing the
ug sum of 1912. One merchant re-
marked that the egg and poultry busi-
ness was worth more to the farmers Of
Faribault county than the wheat crop.
Be that as it may, it is the source OF q far
greater income than most people imagine.
At the special invitation OF the citizens
of Faribault, without distinction OF race
or creed, Archbishop Ireland lectured at
Columbia hall in that city on the even
ing of May l, his subject being "Ameri-
can citizenship" He was introduced by
ex-Attorney General Clapp in a compG-
mentary speech as the "soldier-priest.
The Archbishop's address was raptur-
ously applauded, and in the course of it
he said: The proudest boast of the citi-
zen of the greatest republic of ancient
times was Civis Romanum Sum, sm
Roman citizen. II the citizen of the an
cient republic gloried in country where
two thirds of the inhabitants were slaves,
how much prouder should citizen Of
this republic feel where all are free. st.
Paul himself gloried in the title of Ro-
man citizen, but If he had lived in the
present day he would have said: II am
or wish to be an American citizen" The
elevation and dignity of man was
christian idea spoken by the Savior and
propagated by his church. The Declara-
tion of Independence was the result of
the teaching Of christian philosophers.
But even that: instrument while declar-
ing that all men were free and equal,
drew the line on color, and for three
quarters OF century our black brethren
we're enslaved. While addressing an
audience in Paris year ago he was asked
to define in plain words the meaning of
Democracy. He gave as definition the
words of the immortal Lincoln, "A gov
ernmsnt of the people for the people and
by the people," Since then the literary
productions of Europe had used it as the
best possible definition of democracy.
America was provdential nation. Its
mission was not to send abroad vessels
loaded with wheat, not to send gold and
silver, not the distribution of our
material wealth, but to teach the dignity
OF government.
