AMERICAN CATHLISISM.

The Outlook, perhaps the most influential of all
non-C Catholic religious periodicals, has this say
But America today stands in peculiar need of
that contribution which the Roman Catholic church
is peculiarly fitted to furnish. For the chief peril
to America is from disorganizing forces and
awess spirit; not from excessive organization, but
from disorder and disorganization. One of the
chief lessons Americans need to learn is reverence
for constituted authority and willing obedience to
law
This lesson the Roman aCtholic church is pc
culiarly fitted to teach And within the reach of
its influence those who most need to be taught
That church is vast spiritual police force, pro
lection of society from the reckless apostles of self
will. But it teaches submission to control and that
is the first step toward the habit of selfcontrol in
the individual which is, indispensable condition
of self-government III the community
The Outlook congratulates America upon the vel
dences of spiritual prosperity in the Roman Catho-
lie church in this country, and it gratefully appre
ciates the service which that church is rendering to
the spirit of reverence for law and lawful authority
which is the foundation of civil and religious lib

TOLEDO, Sept. st. Anthony's chapel car was
visited by hundreds of interested Catholics during
the twelve hours that it stationed on the Lake

of the car during its eastern trip, met the visitors
and told them something of the work that the mis-

Tax Commissioners Dig Up Some
Interesting Facts About
States Values.
Iron Miners Hard Hit by the Re-
Valuation of the State
Commissioners.

The preliminary report of the
Minnesota Tax Commission, recent
ly completed and filed with the gov
ernor, makes interesting reading
for every tax payer in the state, and
it is unfortunate that it is not posi-
BILE to place the report in the hands
of the tax payers generally.
The commission began its exist
ence last April, and for the short
time it has been actively engaged,
and the limited means provided, has
accomplished a great deal. This
preliminary report does not begin
to set forth all the work done, and
no ordinary report could do full
justice in describing the amount of
material accumulated concerned tax
alton and the systematic work done
to bring about the equal valuation
of all classes of property in the state
for the purposes of taxation.
One of the first and greatest un-
dertakings of the commission was
the revaluation of the iron proper
ties in the northern part of the
state. The members of the COM
mission visited the mines personally
in order to become familiar with
existing conditions. They ascertained
the cost of mining in the different
classes of mines and the value of the
ore placed on the market, and were
thus able to determine the value,
per ton, of the different grades of
ore in the mines. They determined
the ratio of the assessed value to
the actual value of all other prop
erty in the state as near as possible
in the short time at their disposal,
and were thus able to establish a
systematic manner of assessing the
mining properties so that their pro-
portionate assessed value should be
equal to the proportionate assessed
value of other classes of property.
The report shows that there were
1892, 509,7 57 tons of iron ore known
to exist in the three iron ranges up
to September last. On this tonnage
was placed value of from s to SO
cents per ton for assessment pur-
poses, or an average of S.156 per
ton, and this valuation, together
with the valuation placed on the
iron lands and the personal property
of mining companies amounted to
$194, AIS, 1923 as against an assessed

The taking off of the morning train
west and the evening train east last
fall, had proved a great inconven-
ience, Notwithstanding that passen-
gers are allowed to ride in the

asked that the train be restored.
Superintendent Schevenell replied
that the general Office at Chicago
had sent out instructions to retrench
on expenses, owing to the business
situation, the expenses had been cut
down as far as could be done with
out too great impairment of the SER
vice. However the matter would be
taken under consideration, and if the
conditions got better in the spring
the wishes of the people along the
line would undoubtedly be complied
with. 1t was merely a matter of

Death of Murray James Warner.
Ward County Independent:

Ward County Independent:
One of the best known residents
of the country southwest of Minot,
Murray James Warner, passed away
last Friday night after two weeks of
a severe attack of pneumonia. Mr..
Warner has been one of the staunch
men of the country, having come
here s years ago from Redwood
Falls, Mimi, and making his home
on his claim IL miles southwest of
Minot. He was well known and
highly respected by all who knew
him. Born in Vermont in 1863, at
his death he was IA years of age, in
the very prime of his life.
He came west from Vermont to
New York state and later to Red
wood Falls, Mimi, where he lived
until 6 years ago when he came to
Ward county. Mr.. Warner leaves a
wife and three boys. His father is
here from Redwood Falls. During
his last hours he manifested his re-
ligious faith by calling for prayer
and the old songs he used to know,
such as Nearer, My God. to Thee"
and THE Great Physician.
The funeral services were held at
the home Monday morning at 10
O'Clock. Rev. E. P. Lawrence of
Minot with some of his singers, Mr..
Arthur Trace, Miss Minnie Foot and
Miss Ida Wilson, conducted the serv-
ices. The songs used were the old
ones he loved. Nearer, My God to
Thee, The Great Physician and Rock
of Ages.
The subject OF the short address
given by Mr.. Lawrence was Paul's
words to Timothy, I have fought a
good fight. have finished my
course, have kept the faith, hence
forth there is laid up for me a
crown of Righteousness which the
Lord shall give to me at that day
and not to me only but to all that
love his appearing" The thought
pressed home to each nearer was
that of the joy of being ready for
departure. The satisfaction of look
ing back on life well spent and a
blessed hope for the crown to be
awarded to the faithful, the victor,
in the battles of life.
The entire neighborhood turned
out to pay their respects to the
memory of the deceased. The body
was laid to rest in the Minot GEM
etery.

considerable additional radiating

warmed up the building too slowly
heretofore to suit the governing
board and the pastor. All things
are now ready, and the pastor and
congregation invite everybody to

Medical Missions.

IIe missionary program IOr FoD-
ruary was given in the Methodist
Sunday school by the teachers,
Messrs. G. Root. S. G. Peterson,
Clark Miller and F. Hubbard, who
personated the doctors of different
countries and showed how they
treated their patients.
Mrs. C. C. Little presided and in
troduced the topic by reading of
Christ healing the sick, and His
commission to His disciples to preach
and heal all manner Of sickness.
And as the people fiocked to Christ
and his disciples for healing, so now
this ministry is the opening wedge
that prepares the way for Christian
ity.
The Korean doctors main depend
ence was a long needle, which he
had used for years and never
cleaned. And he was determined to
run it in the flesh as far as possible,
so that the patients death may not
be caused by careless work. One
patient with spinal complaint had
suffered 400 punctures. A child's
bad burn he covered with powdered
charcoal.
The doctor of India had been pre-
scribing for a high caste woman; he
on one side of the curtain she on the
other. He asked questions of a
servant on his side, and servant on
her side answered. He looked at
her tongue and felt her pulse
through a slit in the curtain and
prescribed for her. He said it
WASN'T as satisfactory as if he had
seen her but it did well enoughh for
| a woman. A low caste woman he
wouldn't be bothered with at all;
give her opium and let her die.
The African doctor treated rheum-
atism by thrusting hot irons into
the flesh. He said. a man was
brought to me with bullet in his
breast. / made cut the length of
his chest and another diagonally.
Then / lifted the walls of the chest,
and put my hand in and after polk
ing around for a minute or two |
found the ball. 1t was a successful
operation, but the man died.
Mrs. Little said the cases cited
were mild ones; many were so aw-
full they could neither be printed
nor spoken. These barbarities arose
partly from ignorance and partly
through the belief that sickness is
caused by demons, who must be
driven out by force. She said that
were it not for Christianity, with its
humanity and mercy, we would
probably be in the same ignorant
and suffering condition ourselves.
If Minnesota were not any better
supplied with medical aid than
heathendom is, the whole state
would only just have one physician
for 9 months of the year land for
the other 3 months none at alb as
that is the exact ratio in which we
have provided the heather world
with medical help. An earnest ap-
peal was made to the young people,
in the hope that some Of them may
devote themselves to aid this part
of the Masters work.

Would Like to Represent Redwood
County in the State Leg
iSlature.
The Campaign Likely to Be a Lively
One On Account of Re-
Election Sentiment.

| Our own A. u. Stewart mas crossed
the Rubicon and announced his cam
didacy for nomination as Repre-
sentative from this county on the
Republican ticket. A. D. would
make good representative all right.
His large acquaintance with the
public men of the state and his
experience as an organizer and hust-
Ter ought to fit him we'll for such a
position.
1t will probably only add to the
interest of the campaign for An
drew to recognize, as he must, that
he will have a contest on his hands
if Mr.. Bendixen goes after re-
nomination, with the prestige of the
general custom of renominating
candidates for second term. But
with more than six months between
now and the September primaries,
there will be ample time for the
candidates for all offices to tell vot-
ers just what they stand for, and
abide by the final verdict of the
primaries.
A. D. Stewart hes been resident
of Redwood Falls township since he
was seven years old. coming at that
age with his parents in 1871,
which makes him now in his 45th
year. His education in our public
schools was supplemented by two
years course at Winona Normal,
and by teaching experience of
three years in this county afterward.
1t might also be properly credited
as part of his education, that he
enthusiastically espoused the popu-
list cause as a young man. and was
one of the best campaigners of that
party until it went to pieces, when
Mr.. Stewart frankly went back to
the party of his father and declared
his belief in the original ideals and
principles of RepubIicanism, voting
that ticket, in the main, ever since.
It is part of his record, that Mr..
Stewart was a candidate against O.
B. Turrell at one time for the office
he now seeks, and was the Populist
champion for senator against S. D.
Peterson on another occasion. But
he proved good loser, and took his
punishment as a minority candidate
as part of the game of politics.
Mr.. Stewards strongest claim up
on his Redwood Falls neighbors and
friends is that he has entered heart
and soul into the work of putting
through the organization of the
! Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance Co.,
the Rural Telephone Co.. the Farm
ers' Elevator Co., and the local
creamery. His zeal and faith in
these enterprises have always been
active rather than theoretical. and
it may be said that for these things
Mr.. Stewart deserves well of his
home town.
Aside from these local enterprises,
Mr.. Stewart has been elected presi-
dent of the state organization of
mutual insurance companies, and is
| a director in two other similar state
organizations. as previously stated
| in these columns.
! Mr.. Stewart has natural talent
for public speaking and his expert
ence has qualified him as a good
organizer and a good mixer" His
natural disposition is to go after
any matter he undertakes with all
