Father Gregory Neumeyer from Bur
llngton, Iowa, as the speaker of the
day In his speech, part English and
part German, which was treat to all
who had the good luck of hearing it, he
emphasized the Feder alton of Catholic
Societies, and referred to the state OF
affairs IN France, as the result of un-
organized Catholic forces. He gave a
good history of the Catholic Church of
France, from 1888 down to the pre-
sent time. 1t was true and impartial
history and was worked out in detail.
and delivered IN a splendid manner.
In the delivery of this speech he also
referred to the 81 Counties in the
State with organized Catholics. with a
membership of approximately $1,000
members, and of these Counties, he
calls Ellis County the Banner County
of the State. In the German part of
his speech, his text was mainly the
separation of Church and State in
France. He drew a splendid picture
of the Pope and his duties to his Catho-
lie subjects and all the world, as com
pared with the Government of France.
which he calls monarchy after the
style of Napoleon the I. He stated
that France had tried this same expert
ment of Separation, about 100 years
ago, with very poor results, and that
Napoleon l., when he came to power,
saw that he could not govern a nation
without religion, and accordingly
agreed to the Concordate with the Pope
and the Catholic Church He went on
with his history until the present time,
when the French Government, without |
any apparent reason broke the Con-
cordate with the Pope and again sought |
separation from the Church. His |
speech was worth attention and will |
no doubt bring fruit in the near future. |
All the points he emphasized, are
worthy of consideration for every Cath |
olic. The enthusiasm with which he |
was applauded at the close of his
speech, showed that his able word s |
had gone deeply into the hearts of his
hearers. After this the reports of the |
adopted as read. And so dispensing
with the everlasting voting on each |
question and each candidate for office, |
and thereby shortening a tedious and
very tiresome work. The result of |
these reports which were adopted as
read was; that Rev. Father Cassian of
Hays, was elected Spiritual Director,
and for President J. M. Shaefer of |
Hays, 1st Vice President, P. V. Colts

After the adoption of
these reports committee was appoint
ed to examine the books of the Secreta-
ry and Treasurer, which was followed
by the installation of the newly elected
officers. All the business of this con-
vention having been disposed of the
Band was called to play another pieceI

Though this change meant millions to
the United Railroads, he declared tnat
there was no graft connected with the

deal which looted a fire-stricken city,
he declared he did not care if 10 had

no graft, he reiterated, when the United

several times the $45O,000 slipped to

to secure IT.
