Their loyalty has found expression

in their glowing accounts of high

of the correspondingly high cost of

EVENING WEDDINGS.

The custom Of having the wedding
ceremony performed in the evening
seems to be growing among Cath
olics. Among non-Catholics OF
course the hour of the ceremony is a
matter that can be arranged to suit
the convenience of the parties con-
cerned as there is no fasting and no
strict regulation requiring that it be
performed in a church. Custom, how
ever, has established the evening
hour as the fashionable hour and the
parlor as the proper place. Those
who aspire to rank socially, there
fore, can i'll afford to disregard the
dictates of this unwritten law.
For Catholics marriage is a most
solemn sacramento union which can
be dissolved only by death, and
though the Church does perform the
ceremony without Mass, it is new.
ertheless her earnest desire that
whenever it is possible Catholics
should be married in the morning
with nuptial Mass. In order to
give particular dignity to the cere-
mony she has provided in her liturgy
a special Mass for bride and BRIDE
groom. As a mark of still greater
importance and solemnity she even
goes so far ~ to disregard the ordi-
nary custom by admitting the mar
ried couple into the sanctuary and by
interrupting the canon of the Mass
to insert special prayers for the new

CITY AND COUNTY ELECTIONS.

Few men on the Democratic ticket
made better showing in the recent
election than Thomas P. Dryer. Mr..
Dwyer received no financial assistance
of any kind to carry on hts campaign,
He entered the race against a strong
opponent with the determination to
win and from the results it certainly
seems more than probable that if the
full Democratic vote had been cast ne
would have a reasonable plurality to
his credit. The fact that Mr.. Dryer,
direct from the ranks of the laboring
people, has been able to make such an
excellent showing in a thoroughly Re.
publican district speaks we'll for his
ability. AS campaigner he showed
himself to be sincere, practical and
reliable. 1t is to be regretted that the
full registered vote was not cast on
election day.. If it had been the proba-
bility is that Thomas P. Dryer would
be the next representative from the
Fifth Congressional district.
The election of James E. Mehan as
alderman of the Thirteenth ward by
such an unusual majority indicates
that the people of that ward have faith
in Mr.. Mehan's ability and honesty.
The choice seems to have been a COM
mendable one in every way. If his
past can be used as criterion by
which to make predictions Mr.. Mehan
will take good care of the interests OF
the Thirteenth ward.
The defeat of Alderman Peter Nc
Coy and James Dryer of the Ninth
and Tenth wards is to be regretted.
Aid. Conroy was also retired. These
men had made good records in the
council. P. H.. Hoy, who was de-
feated in the Sixth ward, was worthy
of better support. The surprise of the
city election was the large vote polled
by Mr. Van Lear, Public Ownership
candidate. 1t was not thought that he
would receive more than five or six
thousand votes. AS it was he ran sur
prisingly close to Haynes and Satter
lee. The two leading candidates, it
may be said, did not make a very az.
gressive campaign. Mr.. Haynes had
an excellent record to depend on to
pull him through Satterlee showed
little aggressiveness as campaigner.

II his speeches did anything they
showed that he lacked the qualities Of
leadership. AS a result the Public
Ownership candidate received the sup
port of lot of dissatisfied voters. The
showing which he made, however, can.
not be regarded as a permanent gain
In the strength Of his party. The
slight plurality which Mr.. Haynes re-
ceived has resulted in Mr.. Satterlee's
contesting the election. Whether the
recount will result in any material
change remains to be seen. We do
not believe it will alter the result al.
ready announced.
John Ryan, candidate for sheriff of
Hennepin county, made q remarkably
good showing. Mr.. Ryan ran consid.
erably ahead of his ticket but did not
receive the support to which he was
entitled.
Apathy on the part Of the voters
characterized the entire campaign. It
is generally SO with off year elections.
Had the Democratic voters rallied to
the support Of their party it is safe
to say that Dwyer would have been
elected to congress, Ryan would be our
next sheriff and a number of other
Democratic candidates who had good
records and made a good showing
would have been elected. The lack of
interest was due mainly to the dis
agreeable position in which the state
convention placed the party. Had tho
ticket been nominated in the regular
manner the many able men who Jared
remarkably we'll under the handicap
would have received sufficient support
to reverse the small pluralities of their
opponents.

The long winter evenings will soon
be with us again and our apprecia-
ton of the Preside will increase as
the shrill whistle of the cold winds
indicate the discomforts of outdoors.
These evenings if properly spent may
be made to hold the pleasantest men,
cries Of our lives. Everyone should
endeavor to use them for the cultiva-

books, studying the social questions
Of the day, writing or discussing
timely topics, learning to master a
musical instrument are few of the
many things that might be done to

CAREERS FOR WOMEN.

In a recent address President Cy-
rus Northrop of the University OF
Minnesota said some things which no
doubt will be as unpopular among
suffragists as the Pope's encyclical
on Modernism is among agnostics.
However, DR.. Northrop's utterance is
the fruit Of mature mind. What
he said Is we'll worth the -considera-
ton of girls who are educating them
selves for their life work. For a
woman to prepare herself to be a
helpmate and companion to her hus-
band is a worthy work." said DR..
Northrop. Eve need good wives and
good mothers Careers cannot make
happy home or good mother. A
woman who can govern her home as
a home should be governed is more
to be admired than the woman who
wrests career from the world. Let
woman be a'%home maker, a dis
'penser of hospitality and make her
self loved by her friends and neigh
bors. Leave careers to the men who
are physically fitted to undergo the
toll necessary to create them"
If more time were devoted to ac-
quiring kitchen accomplishments and
less to perfecting drawing.rcom
graces there would be more happi-
ness in the average home. The lack
Of ability to properly manage a
household is no doubt in this age of
lax divorce laws the primary cause
of many separations. From this let
1t not be inferred that mental devel-
opnent is unnecessary or undesir-
able. A generous education which
makes for mental enlargement should
be gotten whenever it is possible.
But at the same time the young wom-
an should not overlook the import
ance of knowing how to perform the
meaner duties connected with house.

That eminent preacher, Father
Vaughan, is not worrying about the
future of the Church in the United
States. He says:
"The Catholic Church in the Unit
ed States of America is teeming with
splendid life and untiring energy.
She is not only the light of the New
World, but the salt of the new earth.
In most of the great cities, she is
not only holding her own, but she is
more than half the population. Let
those who talk about Catholicity as
a discredited system and a played
out superstition go to the States,
and they will find that she is the
one spiritual uplifting force In that
vast continent. Without her the Ship
OF State would be without ballast and
the Stage.coach without it's brake.
Like her Divine Master before her,
she and she alone stands up and with
authoritative voice drives divorce
from her doorstep, buys cradles for
her nurseries, and builds schools in
which Christ is Head Master. She
is the one and only authority that
dares to utter the whole of Christ's
Gospel message, and yet subtracts no
jot or title from His moral code. She
is simply splendid; defying the very
gates of hell in their foolish attempt
to prevail against her"
