It is good to see the war that 10 be.
ing waged against th. tonsillsctomy
craze. For some special reason many
school inspectors throughout the coun.
try have been insisting on the whole.
sale removal OF tonsils Of school child.
rem, and as result the men who per-
form the operation are greatly bene.
fitted by 1t, while the children are
made innocent victims of mere craze.
In commenting upon this subject
Medical Freedom says that for gen.
erations the medical world has been
practically unanimous in holding that
the tonsils were one OF the wise provi-
sions of nature to protect the respira-
ory and digestive organs; aud it is
perfectly safe to say that they would
not have been placed in the human
body of nature,~ and would not have u
tendency to enlarge rather then dimin-
ish in size, without having some i'm
portant function to perform. True
there are already strong protests be-
ing made against the wholesale re'
moval of the tonsils In the vo, NJ, aud
the interrogation point Is being raised
within the Sandhedrim OF the regular
school. Thus, for example, DR.. j. W.
Jervsy, in the official organ OF the
American Medical association, points
out that the much-maligned, highly
complex tonsillar tissue Is found only
in highly developed In. igiduals. HI
states that he never found q case q
mong negroes, or In any persons, fol
that matter, who we're not highly de
veloped and he argues that II these
tonsils were the evils that present'day
doctors claim, they would long sinc'
have disappeared with their owAsr'
under the ground, In accordance will
the evolutionary theory Of the surviva
Of the dttest; and the fact that the!
are found only among the most highl!
developed people leads him to believ
that there IL special purpose in thi
tendency. Hence physiCisns shoul
b very slow to remove these organs.-

ST. PAUL LAID TO REST.
Requiem Mass Was Celebrated at st.

tend the Services and Follow His
Remains to Their Last Resting
Place. ss

On last Sunday the body of the late
Frederick Z. McGhee, LII. u, lying in
state at the family residence, 665 Uni
'Wersity, surrounded by scores of beau
tiful floral tributes that gave sweet
but mute testimony of the high esteem
in which he was held by his fellow
men, was viewed by hundreds of sor-
rowing friends.
The funeral services were held at
st. Peter Claver Catholic church, of
which the deceased had been mem
Der nearly twenty years, on Monday
morning, Sept. %, at 10000 O'Clock.
The church, with the exception of
the seats that had been reserved for
the family and those connected with
the funeral in some way, was packed,
and when the funeral cortege arrived
there were hundreds surrounding the
church unable to gain admittance, it
being one OF the largest funerals ever
held in st. Paul: ! People of every race
and station were present to pay the
last tributes of respect to one who had
made himself Indispensable in the
community and whose place cannot
easily be filed The pressing throng
was skillfully handled eby- the ushers,
Messrs. A. S. Weber and w. J. Gard
ner.
The altar, it's candles and appurte-
nances, were draped in sombre black
and solemn, almost painful stiffness
prevailed.
There was a number of distinguished
persons present from both home and
abroad, among whom were noted:
Judge and Mrs. w. L. Kelly, Judge F.
N. Dickson, A. l.. Larpenteur, Thos.
Howard, Thos. Brady, DR.. Dan. H.
Williams and Mrs. julius N. Aven-

Chez had been al member for 1S years,
were: H. J. Hilbert, Peter Fournell,
August Bemlott, Louis Lahore, S. AL
ger, Chas. Millette.
AS the funeral cortege entered the
holy edifice, Mrs, Harriet Oliver
sang, Face to Face"
The casket which held the mortal
remains was what is known as state
casket of black broadcloth, with ex-
tension handles of oxidized silver, and
by special permission there was laid
upon it the floral token of the be-
reaved widow.
At the appointed hour the services
began with the Solemn Requiem Mass,
which was celebrated by the pastor,
Rev. Stephen Theobold, the celebrant,
assisted by Rev. T. A. Printon of St.
Andrew church, Rev. John Cullinan of
the Cathedral, as deacon and Rev. Jo-
seph Flack of st. Bernard church as
sub-deacon. William Daily and Earl
Weber were acolytes and Roy Weber
assisted at the absolution.
At the conclusion of the Mass Mr..
G. D. Jackson sang, "Crucifxion," by
Faur.
The Mass being completed, the SER
mon was delivered by Father Theo-
bold, as follows:
Remember my judgment, for thine
also shall be so; yesterday for me; to-
day for thee. "-Eccles. 1928.
1t is sad but true-painfully true
Even Nature seemed during the past
days to have put on her garb oil
mourning, for here lies under our eyes
the Wreckage which marks the trail OF
Death as he stalks victoriously through
the world. Here, under the full gaze
OF this assemblage, is the relict of that
awful struggle of last Thursday night
when our departed friend grapplec
with and was vanquished by the com
mon foe of humanity foe who always
inspires terror, since his purpose is
always victory, and he never knows
defeat.
1t is unfortunate that it should fall
to my lot, Insignificant as I am, tt
preach the funeral sermon of FREQ
McGhee, for he deserves better eu
logy than / am capable of. Now, the
Master has sent each and every one o.
us into his vineyard as laborers He
the Lord and Master of all, places u:
therein, whether it is at the frs
hour, the sixth hour, the ninth hour, CT
the eleventh hour, and He has palcei
us there to earn our penny. If We pre-
form our task, then we shall receive
our reward. If we do not, then we are
! Improbable servants, and we shall bt
cut off and cast into outer darkness.
Fred McGhee 81 years ago breathet
the breath of life and saw the light o
day for the first time. Little did hi
think that he would have risen in tbi:
America of ours, for he is undoubtedly
a national character What he accom-
plished is due entirely to his indemi
table energy, his progressive activity
his true Christian spirit which led hin
to exhaustive knowledge of men ant
affairs. So much that (like the chem

We SHALL REAP THAT We sow,

1t has been a contention of THE
APPEAL ever since the Southern nas-
time, lynching, got to be SO fashion
able, that when the habit became con-
tirmed that the mob would not always
hunt up black man to practice upon.
We also contended that the moral eff
feet would be very bad upon the young
people. Both of these contentious
have been frequently verified. White
men have been lynched time and
again within the last decade and the
lynchers have gone unpublished; in fact
lynching has become so common now
a-dayS that very little attention is paid
to it. One of the latest evidences of
the state OF mind of the youth of the
country comes from Butte, Mont,
where last week fifteen boys, ranging
from IL to Is years of age, confessed
that they attempted to lynch Joseph
Meyers, chicken farmer whose life
had been made miserable and his fam
lily destitute by the depredations Of
the gang of boys. In this case they set
fire to the mans house and when he
attempted to put out the flames they
overpoWered him, put rope around

the Opaque mass above, but neverthe-
less there. waiting to quench a thirst
as long as a CRAFTS neck, Sam kutz,
on Saturday last, patiently awaited
the coming Of r. w. Gentry, to whom
he had given so cents, and an extra
large pitcher to rush the growler.
AS he waited and waited, ear tuned
to catch the slightest footstep with
oVt the door. the thirst grew until IL
had exceeded any thirst that had pre-
viously parehed his throat II grew
and grew until even near beer wouid
have been as nectar of the gods, yea.
even ginger ale would have been well
come. But no Gentry hove in sight.
the horizon was unmarked by the
slightest hint OF an incoming pitcher.
Finally quivering with impotent
rage, Sam walked over to the faucet
and slipped the sparkling overflow OF
the James and inwardy vowed that
when Gentry did come. he wosld hear
an eloquent address on procrastina-
ton.
But Gentry did not come, neither
