The movement for the removal Of
unsightly signs in the business streets
Of Minneapolis is to be commended
These signs are offensive in more
ways than one. They are dis
tinct source of danger. 1t is to be
hoped that the public sentiment which
demands removal of these business
signs will not lose interest until the
billboard has been abolished. The
billboard is something that one never
can become accustomed to. 1t is an
ofrense to good taste as we'll as to
morals. An object which is distaste-
full to the eye as the billboard, is az
much nuisance as an object which
is distasteful to the nose. The people
of Minneapolis would not submit to
having slaughter house on a crowded
thoroughfare and yet they submit to
these glaring billboards which are as
noisome to the eye as slaughter
house would be to the nose Our pub
lie affairs committees and improve.
ment clubs should take up this matter.
Publicity would create a demand for
the removal Of these blotches upon the
landscape that could not be withstood.
If publicity did not suffice to bring
about their abolition, boycott against
those who use the billboards would
certainly do so. The removal of the
business signs along Nicollet Avenue
is good thing, but the destruction of
the billboard is a more needed i'm
provement.

Of the country is rapidly taking its
place as a leading stock raising and
dairying country, and in the next
few years some remarkable advance
ment is predicted along those lines
and along the line of scientific and

hearing in Washington before the
House committee on military affairs
Wednesday, and among those who
spoke in its support and at some
length was Archbishop Ireland. The
bill extends to such institutions the
loan of military accoutrements and
stores. and an annual cash bonus for
each pupil. ranging from 800 to $50
The bill also provides for an examina-

Henry WAtterson informs the New
York World and Harpers Weekly that
the fight being carried on against the
nomination Of Bryan will fail. As for
himself, Mr.. Watterson says that ne
will do all he can to elect Mr.. Bryan
next time. but that he doesn't expect
anything good to result from his cleo
tion. Il believe he says, that he
may be elected. I am so profoundly
convinced of the need Of IL change of
parties in the government that, even

they are. I would vote for Mr.. Bryan

Republicans put up, Governor Hughes
being their strongest and Judge Taft

HEARsT's NEW PARTY.

Mr.. Hearst has formed his new par
ty. which he suggests should be called
the National party. He says that a
new party is needed. 1t will be devot-
ed to the old American ideal. There
ought. he says, to be party commit
ted to the principles of washington,
Jefferson, Jackson and Lincoln. It is
peculiar that every politician repre-
sents himself as following the prin-
ciples Of one or more OF the four presi-
dents just named. It is certain that If
any one Of the four could come back
to earth and hear the various prin-
ciples enunciated for which they are
made sponsors they would be amazed
beyond expression. -Four years ago Mr..
Hearst had his agents chasing about
the country trying to get delegates to
vote for Mr.. Hearst as Democrati
candidate for president. Less than
two years ago Mr.. Hearst was going
about the state OF New York trying to
persuade the Democrats of that state
to elect him governor. Every other
man on the Democratic ticket was
elected. Mr.. Hearst was defeated by
approximately $4,000.
There is just one need Of a new party
80 far as anyone can discover. and that
is to furnish an opportunity for Mr..
Hearst to be nominated for something.
He was too heavy a load for the Dem
ocratic party to carry and elect to any
ofhce. 1t is almost certainty that
the party would not again nominate
him for any ONCE. A new party. nat
ional in character, is necessary in or
der to give Mr.. Hearst a nomination.
He will furnish the money to keep up
the party organization, in return for
which he will get whatever nomination
he wants and will reimburse himself
for the outlay by the advertisement
which the scheme will give to his
string of newspapers. Just at this

CARDINAL GIBBONS ON PRoHl.
RlTION,

Cardinal Gibbons is not a believer
in the theory that people can be made
temperate by legislation. He has de-
clared himself as opposed to local op-
tion in his home city Of Baltimore and
says that liquor would be sold quite
as abundantly under prohibition laws
as under we'll regulated license.
"The result would be that liquor
would be dispensed contrary to law in
stead Of being sold according to law.
When a law Is fagrantly and habitu-
ally violated it brings legislation into
contempt. 1t creates spirit Of de-
ceit and hypocrisy, and compels men
to do insidiously and by stealth what
they would otherwise do openly and
above board. All good men-good cit
izens-are in favor Of the virtue Of
temperance, and regret to see that
the moral side of the question has not
been sufficiently considered. You can
not legislate men by civil action to the
performance of good and righteous
deeds. II we are to improve the NOR
ality of our city and make our citi-
zens more temperate, let the virtue Of
temperance be proclaimed in the
churches. Above all, let it be enforced
in the family. that parents, both by
word and example, may inculcate in
their children the, temporal and spir-
itual blessings which spring from life
of sobriety, and let them impress upon
their children the terrible consequences
of drunkenness. We might profitably
learn lesson from the old cities of
Europe, which for 1000 years have
been agitating the question. There is
not single city in Great Britain, Ire
land, or on the Continent which pro-
hibits by law the sale of liquor. They
have learned from long experience that
the best method of regulating this ar
ticle Of commerce is to impose licenses,
to maintain good order for protection
Of the citizens and to punish the vio-
lators of law"
There is a simple matter of fact
common sense in these statements that
carries conviction to reasonable minds.
1t is such men as Cardinal Gibbons
who save religion and the pulpit from
the disrepute into which some minis
ters Of the Gospel lead them. Cardinal
Gibbons is an ardent advocate Of tenn
perance, but he believes in work in
favor Of temperance and not in favor
of impracticabie laws and regulations
which, instead Of promoting temper
ance, promote q disrespect for law.

A report which will make entirely
mad the Protestant Alliance of Eng.
land is that the Princess Patricia of
Connaught is engaged to marry the
Count Of Turin. says the Catholic
Standard and Times.
The thought is too terrible for the
nerves of those who have been already
sorely tried by the marriage of King
Edwards niece to the King of Spain
and the recent outrage of the King
himself and Queen Alexandra attend
ing the memorial mass for the King
and Crown Prince Of Portugal at the
Catholic Cathedral in London. The
Alliance has given voice to the deep
resentment Of the members by passing
resolutions denouncing such action as
contrary to the Bill Of Rights; and it
certainly. must make the fact Of the
Kings taking the Coronation Oath de-
nouncing the Mass as "damnable and
idolatrous" look a little easy going
even for divorce court royal witness.

DR.. ABBOTT ON BRYAN.

DIR. Lyman Abbott furnishes cumu-
lative evidence Of the fact that dis
tinguished preachers are likely to make
great mistakes when they venture up
on politics. We do not overlook the
fact that DR.. Abbott comes from a
learned center in the East and that
he is an editor as we'll as preacher. He
says that Mr.. Bryan has not executive
ability; that he is a great scholar and
a fine orator. Just how does Dr. Alb
bott arrive at the conclusion that Mr..
Bryan has no executive ability? So
far as we know Mr.. Bryan has never
occupied an executive position. He
has twice been the nominee of great
party for the highest executive posi-
tion in the country and twice received
over six and a half million votes. He
is today as good as nominated for a
third campaign.
Through IL years Of defeat he has
maintained himself at the head of his
party. Through some sort of ability,
and We think some Of it is executive,
he has maintained the undisputed
leadership of his party against power
full and influential interests. He has
maintained this position in the face
Of defeat, which is a great deal hard
or thing to do than to lead q party as a
victor
The truth of the matter is that Mr..
Bryan has shown capacity for lead
ership greater than that possessed by
any other American statesman, ex-
cept Henry Clay. Jefferson and Jack
son were great leaders of victorious
party, 1t was Henry Clay's part in
history to lead a defeated party and to
do 1t time after time. That is leader
ship Of the most difficult character. It
calls for skill and qualities Of mind
and heart which need not be possessed
by the victorious leader
DR.. Abbott says that Mr.. Bryan will
receive the nomination. Will he ac-
complish this feat never before accom-
plished by any man because he has no
executive ability and capacity for lead
ership? There are great many
Americans who would be interested in
knowing the reasons for DR.. Abbotts
assertion.

an interest therein. This object, as
stated in the charter, is "the construc-

in every particular, Of the best style
of architecture and with an imposing
round tower at its northeast corner.
Besides having all the features of an
armory, it will have a library we'll

meeting rooms for the accommodation
of the societies. The report concludes
as follows:
THE members of the association
have endeavored to give a complete,
exhaustive and authentic report of
their administration of its affairs, to
the end that all who have an interest

association and may see their way to
aid in raising the necessary funds to
complete the good work by the con-
struction of a building upon the land
owned by the association, which will be
lasting monument to the glory of the
Irish race"

An Ancient Language,

The Franciscan Father, Rev. Chrys-
ostom Verwyst, of Bayfield,, Wis, de-
clares that the Chippewa is one of the
ancient languages which has survived
to the present day, and that it is fully
as systematic as our so-called classic
languages, both ancient and modern
1t is very rich in words, especially
compound words; a language of verbs
and the very embodiment of life
movement, expression. The late Jes-
uit Father Martin Ferrard collected in
three large manuscript volumes about
100000 Chippewa words. To prevent
harsh, unpleasant sounds they often
two words.
Nouns. adjectives, numerals, ad-
verbs, propositions, are drawn into
the magic circle of the verm, and are
made to express every possible phase
of human thought. action or form OF
existence. The nouns, adjectives. etc.
are susceptible Of all kinds of trans.
formations.
There is a positive Or assertive
form of the verb, and a dubious OF
conditional form, each with an affirm
ative and negative way of expression
Here we have a popularity not to be
found in any other language; in fact
we have, SO to speak, a dual language
A Chippewa can talk with you without
positively asserting or denying any
thing by using the dubitative forms OF
the verb. There are nine conjunctions;
each has a positive and dubitative
form. Each of this eighteen conjuga-
tions has an Affirmative and negative
form; thus making in all thirty-six
conjugations. But the vast number OF
terminations to be learned by the Chip
peWa scholar is made comparatively
easy on account of the admirably sys-
tematic grouping and similarity of ter
limitations.
rather VerWyst concludes: Il am
Of the opinion that a close study of
the Algic family of languages (to
which the Chippewa belongs) would
prove that they are of Asiatic origin,
in all probability Indo- Germanic
Moreover, think that this language
originated with highly civilized race;
for it's systematic structure, beauty
euphony and expressiveness imply
great mental achievement. Demosthe-
mes and Cicero might justly be proud
of the Chippewa language, for it is not
inferior to either the Greek or Latin
language in regularity and copiousness
1t is, however, a concrete language OF
abstract ideas'
