Catholic Children Aged 7 Must Hav,
First Communion.

First Communion.
Changes in the ecclesiastical laws ot
the Roman Catholic church as promul
gated by Pope Plus X were announced
to the clergy of the archdiocese of New
York at the triennial synod held at St.
Patricks cathedral. More than so priests
attended.
The most important decree is the
"maxima curs," decided upon by
the consistorial congregation at Rome,
which takes from the bishop or arch
bishop of diocese or archdiocese, res
pectively, the power to remove a pastor
Hereafter the power of removal will rest
with the "de amotione parochi," which
consists of six priests besides the arch.
bishop.
Nine reasons for the removal of a pas
tor have been decided upon by the con.
sistorial congregation at Rome. AS an.
nounced they are: Incurable insanity,
such untitness or ignorance as render
him incapable of performing his duties,
permanent physical or mental infirmi.
ties, animosity of the people when il
renders his work useless and Is likely to
continue, loss of reputation, a hidden
crime, bad administration, gross neglect
continued after warnings and disobedi.
ence to the bishop, ifcontinued after one
or two warnings.
Another change announced in the
canon laws of the church is that pertain
ing to the age at which children may re.
ceive first holy communion. Heretofore
it has been the custom among priests in
the English speaking countries not to
administer the sacrament unless child
is between the ages of 10 and IL.
The decree issued makes it imperative
for priests the world over to prepare
children so they may receive the first
sacrament upon attaining the age of rea-
son, which is 7, and in some cases, 6
years of age. e."

VERDICT ON COUNTY OPTION.

1t cannot be concluded from this tha
majority Of $1,000 voters In the Stats
favors the sale of intoxicants. That wal
not the question before the voters when
they placed their Judgment on record
through their ballots.
They were called upon TO decide what
was the most effective process for regu.
lating and controlling the liquor traffic,
recognizing the fact that 1t was more
sensible to regulate and control that
which cannot be prohibited than to en-
courage communities to violate regula.
tions not sustained by popular senti-
ment.
South Dakota came into the Union
under constitution that forbade the
sale of intoxicants within the State.
During several years the experiment of
statutary prohibition was given faith
full trial and then the judgment of the
ballot was compelled TO confess that the
law could not be enforced and the con-
stitutional provision commanding pro-
hibition was repealed by a majority vote
of the electorate.
In all the communities of the State
in which the sentiment was not aggres-
sively opposed to the liquor traffic, ille-
gal and unregulated saloons existed and
wanton revel in intoxicants replaced
the restricted sale in vogue under the
laws.
The state therefore returned to the
territorial plan, which authorized the
to prohibit or regulate, in
with the majority sentiment
Of the community.
The proposed county option law was
practically an attempt to restore state
wide prohibition and against this the
Judgment of the voters has several times
arrayed itself, this time in emphatic
terms.
Their judgment does not declare the
traffic in iutoxicants to be desirable. 1t
declares that the traffic must be restrain
ed and kept under the supervision of
those officers upon whom police author
ty is imposed. Such is the judgment of
the majority and ours is government
by MAJ orities.-Huronita.

Recognition of Merit.

Some time ago Swift & Co., the

system among their statesmen
whereby statesmen showing superb

in addition to their salary. There

it is a matter of no little moment
that one of Decorah's travelling
statesmen, Mr. E. w. Tullock. has
already won all of the eighteen
merit marks and has yet a months
time to his credit to count towards
the prizes. For this he will receive

years, and everybody will be glad
to know that he is at the head
