1t will be OF interest to many to know that
Sam Clark, editor OF the Reporter, has an old
school boy friend who turned out to be
preacher. In recent issue Sam devotes two
Columns in telling all about it. Whether Sam
is surprised that anyone who has associated
with him so long, could have turned outso we'll,
or whether he's astonished to think that any
one who had chummed with so good fellow as
his friend. and turned out to be so bad an &C
tor, viz, editor OF Minot paper, we can't Just
say. However, it's encouraging to know that
one Of Sans friends turned out well, for there's
hope for all of us yet.

WHAT IS REGISTER OF DEEDS OFFICE FOR?

Is the Register of Deeds Office supposed to be
for revenue or is it merely an office for the con-
venie1lce OF the people, that they may pay GER
tain fixed fees, large enough to insure the in
struments recorded promptly? This as a ques-
ton that the taxpayers Of Ward county ought
to consider.
Gunder Reishu@,, the present register OF deeds
of Ward county, says that even with the extra
amount of money which the legislature provld-
ed for the register OF deeds OF the state, he will
fall away short before the close OF the year. The
900 population and over, the register of deeds
shall be allowed 1000 to run the Office. I,
Why should this limit beplaced? Where does
this money come from? It comes from the peo-
ole who require the work done by the register,
and they pay good fair price for the same.
They are therefore entitled to just consdera-
ton and the register Of deeds should be allowed
enough clerks to insure the recording of the in
struments promptly.
During the months Of December and January
the fees in this Office amounted to over $27OO
for each month. The new law states that the
register is allowed only $1,000 month for sal
aries. The first OF the year the salaries OF the
clerks OF the Ward county register OF deeds Of
fee we're raised from ten to fifteen dollars q
month, which amounts to an aggregate gilmore
than 500 mouth in this office.
January the clerk hire amounted to some
thing like $1O5O or more than the allowance.
It begins to look as tho by October the $12,-
600 will have been all exhausted, then where is
the money coming from? The people will de-
mand that their Instruments be recorded, but
the only thing that the register OF deeds will be
able to do is to answer correspondence explain
ing Why he is five or ten thousand instruments
behind This win be serious, and the commits

SEES NO EXCUSE FOR SUICIDE
Rev. Zed Il. COpp Discusses Mania
for Self-destruction.
Some Who XIII Themselves, Says
Pastor, Are Insane, Others Moral
COVvards-HfstOrical Instances.

Suicide, its cause and its cure" was
the subject Of a sermon delivered by the
Rev. Zed II. Copp. at Bethany Chapel.
last night.
The speaker prefaced his remarks by
saying that the discussion of the subject
was brought about by the suicide mania
which is now sweeping the country.
There are two causes underlying self
destruction. a physical deficiency and a
moral condition. Physical deficiency due
to disease III health, worry. do not be-
lieve there is any person who has reached
the adult age that has never entertained
thoughts on suicide. There are a num-
Der Of people in this city. who. though
not llliterates or degenerates, have tax
en- their lives; who have deliberately
taken what God has given them And
where is the warrant for such proceed
ings?"
Rev. Mr.. COpp asserted that 80 per cent
Of those who commit suicide are insane.
and that they have no deliberate thought
OF taking their lives. There are as many
insane outside the institutions" said the
speaker. in connection with this thought.
who conduct themselves Ike sane peo-
pie, as there are inside the institutions
who are either really insane or sane"
Another cause of suicide is sin. Take
Cleopatra. for instance. She couldn't
face this world an ylonger. she preferred
10 face death. Take the old Roman gen
eral who would rather run his sword
through his body than suffer defeat at
arms.
He is a moral coward. a weakling, who
deliberately brings down upon himself
such a condition that he sooner or later
takes refuge in suicide. It's only the brave
that will stop and think and bear the
state of affairs that he has created. l
know there are many suicides: / read the
daily papers, bat / never read the whole
stories Of suicides; l want to keep my
heart and soul clean and do not want to
be made familiar with the details OF these
terrible stories. There is no need OF a
single suicide. If you conserve your
health, YOU retain your vital forces. and
If you do that the thought Of suicide will
never enter your head.
Worry brings on bad health. and worry
is engendered by somebody's misdoings.
There are many people who have troubles
and worry, and who labor under the i'm
preston that they tried everything 10
bring about a betterment In their condi-
tion, but fail, and finally become fatalists
and are convinced that there is nothing
left for them but suicide"
What we need is confidence and trust
in Gcd. Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ
and thou shalt be saved >"

OF their duties to their employers.
The children then reported 20 the pro-

estimated at 27S. divided into two classes,
the working boys class and the school
children class.

homes during each month by the officials
Of the court and the progress OF each
child is carefully noted
Frequently people come 20 the court TO

the court desires 10 place its boys and
girls in some sort Of remunerative en-

In speaking OF this feature Of the courts

Zens needing such employees TO confer

PRAISE TWO SAINTS
Catholics Observe Feast Days
Appropriately.
FATHER FORTIER's SERMON
Tells of Life and Work Of st. Igna-
thus of LOyOIa, Founder of Jesuit
sOciety-EuIOgy at st. AIOysius
Church-Franciscans and DOmIn-
leans at House of Studies.

ST. Jgnatius Of Loyola, the founder of
the Society of Jesus, was euIogized yes
terday morning at st. Aloysius' Church
by Rev. Mathe| L. Fortier, S. J., who
has beer stationed at that church for the
past three years, but who leaves this
week for St Andrews on the Hudson
Father Fo:tier's sermon showed his
clnse study Of the life OF the great saint,
snd he took his hearers all through the
various phases which led up 10 the con-
version Of the founder and his subsequent
history. He said that the history of the
Catholic Church and the lives Of the
saints furnish no more brilliant example
OF intellect and splendid achievement than
does the life of ST Ignatius.
He dwelt long on the year 1910, when the
wonderful organization and constitution
Of the Society Of Jesus was formed
which. he said, seemed TO have combined
the founders own natural talent for gov
srnment and the wisdom Of all preceding
ages.
Father Fortier also explained how, a
few years later. St Ignatius established
that great system OF education which still
permeates the Jesuit institution, and
which has withstood the attacks OF all
sorts OF educators, and which now stands
recognized as among the greatest peda-
gogical methods, the ratio studiorum."
Father Fortier's latest contributions TO
religious literature have added greatly 10
his reputation, and large congregation
was present TO hear him.
The feast Of st. Ignatius is usually eel
ebrated on July 81, but the commemora-
ton was postponed until yesterday. A
solemn high mass was sung at II O'Clock
by Rev. Robert J. Tracy, S. j., who was
ordained priest on July q, with Rev. Fa-
ther Fortier deacon Of the mass. and
Rev. Henry A. Leary. S. ]. subdeacon.
Feast of ST. Dominic.
At the Dominican House Of Studies. in
Brookland. the feast Of another great
founder was celebrated. that Of st. Dom
inic. the organizer Of the Order Of Preach
ers. commonly known as the Dominicans
and renowned as missionaries and theoIo-
CLANS.
Solemn high mass was sung at $50 by
Rev. Father Bede. o. F. NJ, Of the Com
missary OF the Holy Land, assisted by two
fathers from the Franciscan monastery
as deacon and subdeacon.
The long established custom OF Fran
ciscan Fathers officiating at the Feast Of
St. Dominic and the Dominican Fathers
celebrating mass on the Feast Of St.
Francis OF Assist perpetuates the great
friendship which existed between the TWO
founders. and which continues to exist
between the two orders.
Many distinguished clerics attended the
services. among them being Mgr. Dennis
OConnell, OF the Catholic University;
Rev Father o'Rourke. prior of st. DOM
inic's Church, and the pastors Of several
local churches.
The guests were entertained at dinner
yesterday by Rev. Father Kennedy, prior
Of the Dominican House Of Studies.
