Let the Shade Trees Alone.

Some time since a female editor
was imported by local paper and
among other reforms that she
sprung on the benighted denizens
OF this village was the idea that
the fine shade trees along Grande
Avenue should be cut down. A
mild protest went up but there
was little attention paid to her
suggestion as no one thought she
would be taken seriously. Now
it is announced that the Mayor
thinks the idea a good one and
that he is seriously taking the
question up. We beg. leave TO
suggest that those trees look
pretty good where they are and
that they injure no one while CIV
ing considerable pleasure to those
who love the trees and other nat
ural beauties of the place. They
are no more valuable tor riprap
than a thousand others grow.
ing on valuable sand bars
along the river and for one we
protest vigorously against one of
them being cut down. We think
that some sentiment should be ex-
pressed about this matter at the
next session of the council and
in the meantime the council hav-
ing not acted we consider it out
side the right of any individual
member of that body to issue an
order in the premises.

against woman suffrage. saying in
part:
Il am entirely opposed to woman
suffrage, not because hate the wom-

fulfill the mission God intended. If
you play in the arena Of politics you
will be covered with its dust. II you
grasp too much you will lose every
thing.
Nowhere is woman 50 honored as in
the United States. This is due largely
to the chivalry and courtesy OF the
men and If you are protected by tn
male sex, what more do you want? ]
want to remind you that woman has
great mission in life. You should
therefore have a deep sense Of your
responsibility in the domestic walks IT
life.
You cannot hope to preach in the
church. but you can preach in your
homes and reach those with whom you
come in contact in your daily lives
Woe be to society If 1t had to depend
on the male sex alone; it would GER

has not been found guilty Of bribery.
The jury stood 10 to for acquittal
Francis Heney, assistant district at
torney. addressed the jury for Is
hours, but the jury would not find
Calhoun guilty to please his prosecut-
or. The judge Is said to have been
prejudiced against the defendant So
long as an innocent man can get IL
honest men indifferently chosen and
free from bias to hear his case. pro
and con. he need not be afraid OF q
prosecutor like Heney. From what
we know Of Heney, through the press
he is no great honor to the American
bar. He wants to try Calhoun again
but, in our opinion. he has to change
his tactics before he can convict him.

Americans of Montana. His father,
Captain John Ryan, of the Calumet

men that ever left Tipperary for the

knights of Columbus and an obedient
son Of the Catholic church.

THE HIGHER EDUCATION.

On the first page of this issue OF
the Irish Standard is printed the re-
cent address of Archbishop Ireland to
the students Of the Catholic college
at Dubuque on a subject Of great in
terest to adult readers Of this journal
who have the laudable ambition OF
affording their sons an opportunity
for acquiring a higher Catholic educa-
ton. That the Archbishop is thorough
ly conversant with the subject OF
higher education for Catholic young
men will be taken for granted; and
that a higher education for them Is
a desideratum in this age Of progress
and competition is generally felt and
acknowledged by the most ordinarily
educated parents.
Therefore it is that at the begin
ming of the goth century there are
more boys of Catholic parentage at
tending higher institutions Of learn
ing under the auspices of the church
than ever before. Parents are no longer
satisfied with giving their boys a
knowledge Of the three RS and a
superficial education in ordinary
branches at parochial schools: but
they want to see them properly educat-
ed for the learned professions and for
callings that require technical
knowledge to get to the top in COM
petition with graduates Of other insti-
tutions. They realize the fact that
the Catholic boy Of defective education
is handicapped in the race and falls
behind the trained intellectual athletes
with diplomas from Yale and Harvard
or from the Universities Of Wisconsin
and Minnesota.
No sensible parents will therefore
take exception to what the Archbishop
of st. Paul has said on the necessity
Of a higher Catholic education be-
fore the students Of st. Joseph's College
IN the neigfsboring city Of Dubuque.
On the. contrary, they will readily ac-
knowledge the truth of his utterances.
Who will doubt the truth of his answer
to the following question: Are Cath
olics in the United States eminent
In power and influence. leaders in good
and great causes. proportionately to
their members?" Mind we'll his an
swer:
For my part, answer deliberately
lin the negative. Cali the roll of
writer's. Of leaders Of industry and
finance, of chieftains in legislative halls,
in executive chairs. or leaders of men
In one capacity or another-and my
contention is. proven. And why this !?
Because a liberal education Is not suf-
1ciently frequent in the makeup Of
our people. knowledge gives power.

to talk, and their admirers expected
spread eagle. pyrotechnic oratory from
the navigators Of the air. Instead of
indulging in lofty flights of rhetorical
clap trap, like the politicians, the two
young men stood up and bowling right
and left. said: THANK you, gentle
men," That was all. and that was
enough. While adolescent youths were
studying Cicero and Demosthenes, the
Wright boys were spending their
nights and days in the study of me-
chanical and electrical engineering and
of natural philosophy in relation to
the atmosphere.

and gives ambition to seek 1t and to
use it well; and knowledge has too
often been wanting to Catholics In
America" &C..
Archbishop Ireland favors a liberal
education for the farmers-the, back
bone of the nation And why not?
The day will inevitably come when the
farmers of the United States will have
to compete with the "peasantry" of
Europe. many of whom are scientific
agriculturists who can make two
blades of grass grow where only one
grew before See the Danish farmers
in Minnesota who have got rich in a
few years. They are scientifically ed
ucated and hence they leave. others
behind-even the Germans. But we
quote again from the Archbishop as
follows:
Yes, let the sons Of the farmers
be educated. Will they not, because
they are educated men. turn more
skillfully the furrow wrest from the
soil richer fruit and market to better
profit their corn and their cattle? And
are there not duties to family, to
township, to nation. to fellow men de-
volving upon the farmer, which will
be far better carried out, because he
is an educated man? Why, If. there
is class upon whom I should wish
to scatter with a more profuse hand
the graces of higher education. that
class is our farming population"

settlers are now prosperous and happy
He still takes deep interest in the
