y NO q EXTRA ssIt,N NEEDED.

Nt, EXTRA SESSION NEEDED.
There is 9 great deal. Of unnecessary
talk and buster over the action 81
the railroad companies in obtaining 4
temporary injunction from the Fed
eral court to prevent the enforcement
of the commodity tariff law (chap. 232
laws of 1907 and the two-cent passen-
ger rate law (chap. 81 laws Of 1907.
It is claimed that the railroad com
panies have violated an implied
agreement reached during the closing
days of the last legislative session.
Be that as it may the only thing the
state can do through it's attorney gen
eral is to fight the matter out in the
courts and not in the newspapers.
What would be gained BY calling an
extra session of the legislature? If
additional counsel is needed to assist
the attorney general it would be an
easy matter to secure the services of
the best legal talent next legisla-
ture would recognize as binding any
arrangement made by the governor.
If the courts do not sustain chapters
232 and 81 it is not likely that more
drastic laws that might be enacted at
a special session of the legislature
would be sustained: Let the ATTORNEY
general get down to business and quit
talking; if he needs additional assist
ance let him say so; if additional
legal talent is needed let the governor
provide the same, and there need not
be any uneasiness over the next legis-
lature providing means to pay all OBJ
legations guaranteed by the governor.

AN IMPOSING CEREMONy

Vast Assemblage Attends Cornerstone Lay
ing of st. Paul's Cathedral.
The cornerstone of the Roman Cath
Ollie cathedral in St. Paul was laid on
Sunday afternoon. Dignitaries of
church and state, members of the old
guard that attended the similar cere-
mony for the. present cathedral. dis
tinguished guests, and members of
cathedral executive committees of the
twin cities thronged the stand which
had been built over the excavation for
the foundation of the new temple.
In every respect the management of
the cornerstone laying was a success,
from the time the battery stationed on
the crown of st. Anthony hill fred a
starting gun until the final series of
salutes. The head of the parade
swung into view from Summit park
| at the scheduled time, and at the same
moment the procession of priests and
seminarians from the archiepiscopal
residence, and the purple-robed
bishops and archbishops from the
nearby residence of James J. Hill
appeared at the right on Summit
avenue, The clergy assumed review
positions under a canopy on the
Summit avenue side, and the arch
bishops, governor and mayor re-
ceived the salutes of the detachments
as they passed.
At the pinnacle of the lofty derrick
which held the huge cornerstone in
suspense was a great American flag.
Flags formed the chief decoration.
Wrapped about the speakers stand
was another flag. On the housetops
and in the trees about the cathedral
site were hundreds of persons who had
seized the best vantage points from
which to see the browning event of
Catholic history in the northwest.
The speakers stand commanded the
avenue up which advanced the 10000
parading communicates, marching
with flying banners, to the cadence of
the music of numerous bands.
Rain fell before the ceremony had
finished, and with water pouring on
barred heads and on parchment. books,
the seminary choir chanted while
Bishop James McGolrick, his priests
and acolytes read through the service.
With silver trowel the priest made the
sign of the cross on the six sides of
the huge stone which hung suspended,
then, followed by his attendants, pro-
ceeded to bless the foundations and
outlines of the church. With the
cessation of the rain Archbishop Ire
land moved from the canopy to the
stone and received from William
Lauer, the contractor, silver trowel
filled with mortar which he placed
under the stone as it settled into place
on it's bed of cement.
In accordance with the outlined pro-
gram the formal ceremonies of the
stone laying were short and at their
conclusion Archbishop Ireland
preached one of the most impressive
sermons that ever fell from that emil
nent mans lips. re-. ~
It is estimated that there were at
least Is, 900 persons in attendance at
the laying of the corner stone of the
edifice which will be the most impos-
| ing and largest structure of its kind
in the northwest. SNls3

Archbishop Ireland's address at the
laying of the cornerstone of the Cath
Ollie cathedral in st. Paul on Sunday
was one of the most eloquent ever de.
livered in the history of America. In
his discourse he chronicled the rapid
rise OF. the church in St. Paul from the
time that city was a small settlement
"a time when but forty or fifty fami.
lies lived thereto the present day,
when it is one of the great American
strongholds of the church and ranks
among the advanced commercial
centers of the world. And Archbishop
Ireland has added much to bring St.
Paul up to it's present standard. He
has worked assiduously for many a
long year, not alone in a spiritual
mission, but in temporal capacity, to
advance st. Paul's interests. He has
grown up with the people of St. Paul
and he naturally loves them as they
love him. st. Paul can truthfully
say today that no man has done more
toward enhancing it's welfare than it's
beloved citizen and eminent divine
Archbishop John Ireland.
