SIOUX FALLS BISHOP.
1.ev. Father o'Gorman, Professor Of
Church History in Washington
Likely to BE Appointed Today

Sioux Falls. 8. D., Dec. 2.-There is
hardly any question that the name of
the new Catholic bishop of the Sioux
Falls diocese will be announced today,
and that his am will be Rev. Father
iO'Gorman. Father O'Gorman former
ly lived in st. Paul, but is now profess
scr of church history in the Washing
ton, D. c. university. This report is
based on Il remark made by Archbishop
Ireland to the effect that the next bish-
op of Sioux Falls would sign his name
Thomas" Father Thomas O'Gorman
has been frequently mentioned as the
successor of Bishop Marty, who was
transferred from here to st. Cloud,
Mimi. last spring. Since the transfer
of Bishop Marty the diocese has been
presided over by Rev. Father Mensing
of Webster. There has been for sew
eral years more or less trouble in the
Sioux Falls diocese, and 1t has been
said that Bishop Martyrs inability to
ope with the disturbing elements was
the reason of his being transferred to .
quieter diocese.

South Dakota turns out $4,000 pounds
of mica q year, North Carolina 100, 900

creasing demand for the product In cleo

the deposit In the Black Hills has beer

The Presidents Message.
To the Congress of the United States:
The present assemblage of the leg
islntive branch of cur government oc-
ours at a time when the interests of our
people and the needs of the country
give especial prominence to the condi-
tion of our foreign relations and the eN-
igencies of u national finances. The
reports of h government officials fully
complished within the scope of their re-
spective duties and present such recon-
mendations for the betterment of our
country's condition rs patriotic and in
telligent labor and observation suggest.
I therefore deem my executive duty
adequately performed at this time by
presenting to congress the important
phases of our situation as related to our
intercourse with foreign nations n a
statement of the financial problems
which confront US, emitting. except as
they are related to these topics. any
reference to departmental operations.
I earnestly invite, however. not only he
careful consideration, but the severely
critical scrutiny of congress and my
fellow countrymen to the reports con-
corning these departmental operations.
If justly and fairly examined they will
furnish proof of assiduous and pains
taking care for the public welfare. I
press the recommendations they con-
tain upon the respectful attention of
those charged with the duty of legisla-
ton, because l believe their adoption
would promote the peoples good.
