ST. JOHNS UNIVERSITY
COMMENCEMENT XERCISE S
WILL BE HELD ON JUNE 10
ELOCUTION CONTEST-FIELD
DAY-cLASS PLAY-MR. j. j.
HILL DONATES MEDAL.

The closing weeks of the school
year at st. Johns University, College
vile, have been filed with interesting
events. There were, first, the contests
in elocution and oratory for the gold
medal awarded annually in each of
these subjects. Edward A. Flynn of
Fargo, N. D., carried off the honors
in elocution; George J. Proulx of Ar
gyle, Mimi, in oratory.
Then there was the annual field
day, in which Robert Hackner of La
Crosse, Wis, won first prize, coming
out first in every one of the six events
in which he entered: second prize
went to Marcel Leveque of Somerset,
Wis; while the third prize was cap
tured by Peter P. link of Melville,
N. D. The prizes were respectively
a gold, a silver and bronze medal.
Robert Hackner won also the gold
watch donated by Coach Flynn for the
highest number of points in the
weekly indoor athletic contests con-
Quoted in the gymnasium during the
winter months; Jacob Shredder re-
ceived as second prize valuable gold
medal donated by the Rector.
The event of chief interest, how
ever, was the presentation of Shakes
peares julius Caesar on June 5. 1t
was the greatest dramatic presenta-
tion ever given at st. Johns. The
stage settings and the costumes would
have done credit to any professional
troupe; the Interpretation and the act
ing, though it did not reveal star
of the first magnitude, revealed great
ability and patient training. The
splendid costumes were gratuitously
loaned by Mr.. Louis Kopfman of the
Smith Costume Co., Minneapolis, who
has a son at the institution.
At the request of the Rector, Mr.
James ]. Hill graciously donated $3.50
as fund for an annual medal which
is to bear his name In perpetuity. A
similar fund was established last year
by Mr.. William Hamni, '73, of st. Paul
and one several years ago by Rev
George Hepperle, 80 of Big Stone

In the afternoon and evening ol

MISSION SOCIETY
NEW YORK SUPREME COURT DE-
cLAREs 1T ENTITLED TO CON-
TESTED PROPERTY-PLAIN
WILL APPEAL TO A HIGHER
COURT.

Last week Justice Keough of the
New York Supreme Court rendered a
decision directing James T. Oussani to
deed to the Catholic Foreign Missoin
Society of America the property in
Pocantico Hills, New York, which he
agreed to sell them some years ago
as a site for the Catholic Foreign Mis-
sion Seminary.
When John D. Rockefeller offered a
larger sum for the property Oussani
refused to turn it over to the Foreign
Mission Society, and they were forced
to secure another location near Ossin-
ing, New York, for the proposed SEM
mary. The matter has been in litiga-
ton for some time, but Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter took no part in defending the suit
against the society. Oussani intends to
carry the fight to the Court of Appeals
for final decision. If it upholds the
decision of Justice Keogh the Foreign
Mission Society will be in possession
Of the original tract, which it bought
for $4,000 and for which, it is re-
ported, Mr.. Rockefeller offered $65, 900.

Flagstaff, Arizona, is just now the
scene of an interesting controversy
between prominent Catholics and the
Young Mems Christian Association.
The Catholic are well-known business
men of Flagstaff who some time ago

ing Office in the association they re.
fused to pay the promised subscrip'

week, and the jury brought verdict
against the Catholics, declaring that
the subscriptions must be paid. The
defendants are: P. T. Hurley ($500l
A. T. Hesey ($1,325) and s. D. Lount

parently it took a number of years
after Mr.. Donnelly's death for Sims
to recover from the shock, and come
out in the open again.
Nov, we believe in extending the
cloak of charity over all unfortunates,
be they pagan, heather or Christian,
even though they become unfortunate
degenerates and labor under misap-
prehensions and we don't believe we
ought to make any exception in this
case. Mr.. Sims talks and acts like
one who has had, and is now having,
mental alterations, with mighty con-
flict of fear and terror waging in his
Uranium. In his TRADE against Cath
olicism a quarter of a century ago
he said and did things which now,
in looking backward, appear to be
the widest sort of hallucinations.
And now he belches forth in very
similar manner.
Some people who become affected
in this way have rational periods,
but when the fit seizes them they
have to work it off in some manner,
and in many cases they have to be
placed in institutions maintained for
the purpose in order to prevent them
from doing harm to their fellowmen.
Anyone thus afflicted usually is pos
sessed of an abhorrent fear that some
one or some power is about to inflict
great harm upon himself, his family
or his country. Ordinarily, no one
will believe the unreasonable and abb
surd line of arguments such per-
son employs and his friends try to
get these notions out of his head.
But there are exceptions.
Now, we are not saying that Prof.
Sims is insane, but the writer hereof
heard his address at the Philharmonic
Hall, from beginning to end, and we
must say that we have more pity
than scorn for him, but he either
knows not whereof he speaks or he
has hallucinations above described.
In either case he is to be pitied. We
do not believe that he possesses
any hypnotic powers whatsoever, but
the pictures he drew in his ramblings
and the manner in which he ex-
pressed them, interspersed with
acrimony, hatred and filth, seemed to
please the audience and applause
after applause, accompanied with
laughter, came forth. They appeared
to enjoy the language of the slums,
the reehng rottenness upon which
the address was based and the man.
ner in which the speaker wallowed
around in the slime when he
had to do most of his talking with his
hand and arms they would go on a
wild tangent of applause, enthusiasm
and laughter And it was not par
ticularly elevating or having a ten
dency to promote morality to see one
or two ministers Of the gospel join
in the chorus.
MANY things he said, IL given but
momentary thought by his listeners,
would have torn away the foundation
Of his address In the mind OF any
man and left nothing but vanish
ing mist, but as fogs win befog the
greatest mariner on the high seas az
times this class groped about In
darkness and failed to see the light.
They, too, are subjects for pity.

We have already alluded on more
than one occasion to the efforts which
organized anti-Catholic bigotry is
making to raise it's head in the Twin
Cities and throughout the State. The
official exponent of this movement
which is backed by the so-called
Guardians of Liberty, is Professor
Walter Sims of Bay City, Michigan
editor of a periodical mis-named "The
Christian"
Professor Sims visited Winona late
ly in the interests of the cause which
from all accounts, he is SO well quail.
fed to advocate. He chose his favor
ite topic, THE Pope in American
Politics. for the subject of an ad
dress at the Philharmonic Hall, and
so well did he succeed in showing his
fitness for lecturer-in-chief of the so
called Guardians of Liberty that he
drew from the Winona Weekly Lead
er the following scathing denuncia
ton of himself and his methods:
"A. Winona audience last Friday
evening had presented to it in Phil
harmonic hall an address on The
Pope in American Politics. by Prof
Sims of Michigan His remarks were
based on a theory that it is the pur
pose and intent of the Catholic Church
to turn this government over to the
Pope of Rome, and that the organiza
ton of the knights of Columbus il
the medium through which this is tt
be accomplished.
Prof. Sims is Of old A. p. A. fame
About quarter of century ago he
was engaged in organizing that SO
ciety in Wisconsin and other North
western states. Then, as now, he
vehemently paved the air, used the
identical arguments he employs now
the same style of slander, vitupera
tion, falsifications and filth as he
does now. Then, as at present, he
tried to show that the Pope was about
to take charge of this government;
that the Easements of Catholic
churches throughout the land were
well stocked with arms and amuni
ton; that the die had already beer
cast and that the word to strike
might be given at any moment. He
urged immediate action if the coun
try were to besaved from the clutches
of the Catholics and this action wal
the organization of the American Pro
tective Association.
"At that time Prof Sims was take1

the offerings of the faithful in the

over those of the previous year.
France, England and Germany made
also a considerable advance, and Ire
land nearly doubled the sum of its
former contributions. This is GER
tainly gratifying and shows grow

The Propagation of the Faith is the
chief support of the Catholic foreign
missions But when the whole amount
is divided among the 800 Vicariates
Apostolic and Dioceses assisted by the

dividual missionary is very small,
especially when compared with what
Protestant missionaries receive from
