In a small city like this the
vice ofrash Judgment is altogeth-
err too common. Where people
know nearly all there fellow-cit-
liens there are some who are SO
ungracious and so I'm christian
as to attribute an evil motive
when the actions are prompted
by the best of motives, and they
are rather disposed to relish a
rumor that reflects against a
neighbor. Everyone commits In
discretions, either willfully,
through ignorance or through
weakness, but harsh criticism
and rash judgment do not help
the fallen one but shove him
down. It is in this instance that
the golden rule should be applied.

One hour a day withdrawn
from frivolous pursuits, and
proftably employed, would en-
able any man of ordinary
capacity TO master a complete
science. One hour a day would
make an ignorant man a well
informed man in ten years. One
hour a day would earn enough
to pay for two daily and two
weekly papers, two leading
magazines and a dozen good
books. In an hour a day a boy
or girl could read twenty pages
thoughtfully-oyer seven thous-
and pages or eighteen large
volumes in a year. An hour a
day might make all the difference
between bare existence and USE
full, happy living. An hour a

Of a large surplus of home raised

be a surplus the most profitable
way to dispose of it would be tt

will lose. If you manage to

The evils that fret US most are

afraid will not rise, the new

The County Catholic Societies met
April 18th at Schoengen, elected their
officers for another year and passed
these resolutions:
l. We recommend to the State Fed
Grafton to exert its influence with the
State Legislature toward the adoption
of Good Friday. the memorial day of
the death Of cur Lord Jesus Christ, as
legal holiday.
2. We recommend that a lively wide
spread interest be awakened in our
Catholic College at Hays. This insti-
tuition aims at spreading a Catholic
education in the true sense, practical
science and sound morality. We ex-
hort especially all the parents to CO.
operate heartily with this institution
and thus second the noble efforts Of
this noble undertaking.
8. We recommend that more euthusi.
asm for Catholic Societies and Conven-
tons BE aroused and we earnestly call
! the attention Of the now existing So
cieties to the fact that they must do
all in their power to promote a lively
interest in the regular local meetings
as also to spread the Catholic spirit ex-
ternally.
4. Furthermore, that the Federation
stands emphatically on the side Of law
| and order in the fight against saloons
and joints. Because the law Of the
State forbids the sale Of intoxicating
liquors, We will be governed by that
law. In this county the Catholic re-
ligion is often taken to account for
dieebedience Of the prohibition laws,
because it IL mostly Catholics who are
IawbreakeFs. The Federation wishes
to go On record a. disaproving the acts
OF such Catholics.
s. We recommend the introduction Of
the Curfew rule in ali our towns as a
means OF keeping young people frem
our streets after dark, and We ask the
societies to work toward that end.
6. Lastly We tender our most heart
felt thanks to the people of Schoenchen
in Ellis county on the Windy Smokey
for their very friendly reception and
kind hospitality. We turn in gratitude
to the Rev. Pastor DR.. Carl Menig,
the esteemed committee an entertain
m ent, the women and young ladies of
the parish, in appreciation of their
