Mr.. Hays Supreme Effort.

A few days ago the St. Paul
Dispatch printed a long article
from Bemidji on the investiga
tion. It was couched in the
most virulent terms and practic
ally condemned every official of
Beltrami county to the penitenti,
airy. It's description Of what the
prosecution had proved wassome
thing fearful and wonderful.
Items which the prosecution has
not so much as touched upon
were set forth as established by
an overwhelming mass of evi-
dence. In several instances it
was declared that the prose
cution had proved that the county
had been robbed of sums which
far exceeded the amount of the
bills in dispute.
The Dispatch correspondent
from Bemidji is Mr.. H. G.. Hays.
The article was fine example
Of pure cussedness.

Want the Truth.

A striking feature of the inves
tigation was the lack of friction
between the attorneys for the
prosecution and the defense,
Both sides manifested a disposi
ton to be perfectly fair and tc
sacrifice legal technicalities to an
honest endeavor to find out the
truth. The defense particularly
made every possible effort to
bring the real fact in every in.
stance to light. Objections to in,
PRODUCTION of testimony were ex-
ceedingly few.

Hence Those Tears!

A well known Bemidji gentle
man today called at the Pioneer
Office and, with a throat full OF
wrath, ordered that his sub
scription be cancelled at once.
It seems that the Pioneers &C.

the commission, in the opinion OF
this gentleman, have not been &C

Somebody's Been Fibbing.

The testimony in regard to the
Kelliher- Baudette road is most
conflicting. Messrs. Danaher,
Leonard and Gunderson swear
that the tammarack trees along
the road are no more than from
two to four inches in thickness
while Messrs. Sibley, Jinkinson
and Halliday are equally positive
that they are from two inches to
two feet in thickness. Looks as
though some one had been guilty
of perjury.

During the opening days of
the session the court room was
fairly wellfilled but the failure OF
the prosecution to adduce any.

off in interest and for the past

He understands that both Catholic

Being whose words have changed
the world, whose truth makes men
free, whose kingdom of love is the
Everlasting Kingdom that endureth
from generation to generation.
Above the great Universities like
Zurich or Geneva, both Catholic and
Protestant, place Him, whose words
are Spirit and Life. The child in
the Swiss school may see a great
difference between apostolic Christi

the church and the gorgeous cere

humility Of the Peter of the Scrip

They drew OFT, sadly saluted each
other and said, "Why did we kill
our brothers?" So in the darkness
of the Middle Ages befogged by
superstition, the Swiss Catholic tor
tured and murdered his brother.
The morning has come, Both Wor-

faith, "Behold Catholic and Protes-

nize it's validity and to say that the

Behold how good and pleasant

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH
AS 1t Is in Switzerland, the Model
Republic.
CONCLUDED FROM LAST WEEK.

CONCLUDED FROM LAST WEEK.
Switzerland is Great i'm Education.
1t has one common school. It is
not State school, nor parochial
school, but peoples school. 1t is
not Goddess school as ours is some
smes called, nor lacking in morals,
as the Japanese say that our Ameri-
can schools are. They do not have
one school for blacks and another for
whites as we do in this land where
all men are equal. The Swiss COM
mon school with utmost fidelity
teaches religion, teaches morals,
beaches those things that Christian
child should know. The priest
.catechises the school at a given
hour, the pastor also catechises the
school at specified hour. The
children of any citizen may be ex-
cused from the teaching of either if
he so desires. Nevertheless the
school is religious. If the parent
does not ask to have his child ex.
cused, he naturally hears both sides.
The inevitable result is that he finds
shat both Catholic and Protestant
are teaching largely the same thing.
His Christianity becomes larger than
his sectarianism. The child may
have the Douay or the Geneva, the
Catholic or the Protestant version of
the Scriptures at his hand, he may
read in the Protestant Bible, "ln
those days came john the Baptist
preaching in the wilderness of Judea
and saying, Repent We, for the
kingdom of Heaven is at hand" or
he may read in the Catholic Bible,
Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1905-05-20

words of the Great Teacher are
omnipoteat. His education has made
him an intelligent, thoughtful, sim
core Christian. AS other churches
send almost anything where there is
no opposition but strong men where
they are needed, SO the priests sent
into Switzerland by the Catholic
church are necessarily Of the able
eort with less vices and more abilities.
The work of the priesthood in Switz
! erland requires thoroughly educated
| men who rise above ceremonies,
above ecclesiasticism to the warm in
! lellectual and spiritual atmosphere
created by the Redeemer of men,
The Swiss haye not only great
Universities where Professors from
America go to take post graduate
course, but they have Him at whose
feet every man in the College of the
Apostles sat for years drinking in
words of Heavenly wisdom. No
where else does the Catholic church
shine more brightly. This broad
and generous spirit is clearly due to
he influence of the Great Teacher.
Catholic and Protestant can look up
to The Lord, Jesus Christ, and say,
Thy gentleness hath made me great"
Switzerland is Great in Religion.
Mcnarchies on every side tried to
subdue them. The principles of the
Gospel have become their protection.
l., ages past the Catholics was not
so great as now. With smaller views
Of the Gospel, he prosecuted his
Protestant brother. The world has
not forgotten Millions sonnet.

Since MiIton's time the Swiss
Catholic has learned the gentleness
of Christ. He has grown too great
hearted for wholesale murder.
Persecution and slaughter in the
name of the Prince of Peace have
forever departed, The Swiss now
has tolerance and more, he exercises
forbearInce and more, he is courteous
and more, he has strong sense of
justice and more, he has in his heart
the love of Christ. The Redeemer's
sympathy for all humanity, His pity"
ing love for sinners has cast out
cruelty. The Swiss Catholic can say
with the text, "Thy gentleness hath
made me great. Two ships of war

be all enemy. The ships were
lashed together, they fought all night
