The Minneapolis school board is
having hard time to secure funds
for carrying on the work in the pub
lie schools efficiently. The legislature
is determined on reducing the school
appropriation to half of what the
board considers necessary for the
the work. In the meantime nothing
is being said Of the burden the par
ochial schools Of the city are lifting
from tho shoulders Of the taxpayers.
If the educators were to take the cost
per pupil Of the public school system
and multiply it by the number Of pu-
pills in tho Catholic schools Of the city
they would find that no inconsiderable
amount Is being borne by Catholics.
Add to this the expense it would cost
the city to house the children in the
Catholic schools and it would be found
that the taxpayer is getting out of it
rather easily.

Miss LEM is to be complimented for
her action. 1t was the proper thing
to do. There is no reason why the
pipe should be used as an insignia
on st. Patrick's Day. Tobacco was

time and for many centuries after
His life was in no way associated will,

pie to introduce tobacco to the world
1t is an American product. Miss LEM
did well in saying that twining green
around the pipe is as much mark
OF disrespect to ireland as it would
be to Americans to Irvine a piece OF
the American flag around a cigarette
The action Of this one teacher will
have a greater effect toward overcom-
ing this manner of showing disrespect
to the Irish people than it is easy to
anticipate. The boys who wore the
insignia did it in spirit OF fun. BY
having their attention called lit they
will have their eyes opened to the
improperly and many of them will
not take that method to commemorate
st. Patricks Day again. Miss LEM
is to be complimented.

Mr.. BRYAN CRITICIZED.

Inc London Morning Post considers
1t a blazing indiscretion" on the part
or MT. Bryan, secretary of state, to
nave the audacity to comment on the
domestic affairs of England by prc
dieting in st. Patrick's Day address
that Irish. Home Rule will lie passed
in the next two years.
Mr.. Bryan has commented on The
same question in previous addresses.
But he was not secretary of state
then. His words did not have the
meaning and weight they have now.
He was only q plain citizen enjoying
the right of free speech. But now he
holds a government position and he
must be guarded in what he says.
Mr.. Bryan's violation of the ethics
of his position is not a very serious
one. The trend of English affairs
We're toward Irish Home Rule long be.
fore Mr.. Bryan became national fig
urc. AS an informed statesman he had
reason to take note of that fact The
passage of the bill annulling the veto
power of the House of Lords made
Home Rule inevitable. We venture to
say there is not man in the national
capitol, not even President Wilson
himself. but believes Home Rule is
coming in the next few years. 1t is a
patent fact known to the country. to
the Morning Post and to the world,
Why 1t should be "blazing indiscrc-
tion,' for, Mr.. Bryan to say that the
inevitable will come to pass, is be-

A KIND COMMUNICATION.

There was no formal celebration OF
st. Patrick's Day in Minneapolis thi.
year. But that Ia not to say that the
day was not flttingly observed. On
the contrary. a tribute of respect wa.
paid to the Patron Saint of ireland
that the writer Of these lines consid-
ers more deserving of note and more
indicative Of a kindly spirit toward
the Irish race than any word of Lip
or pen could be. That tribute was t.
be read by anyone who had eyes to
observe in the tasteful way the win
dows Of the stores in the entire bust
ness district were decorated.
The windows of the department
stores, jewelry stores, the millinery
shops and, in a word, all the stores in
the heart Of the city, had in them
some display to show the passer-by
that it was st. Patrick's Day. In
some of the windows of the dry goods
stores green drapery predominated.
In others green ribbon streamers
formed the simple but sufficient re-
minder of the day. Floral decora-
tons in which green predominated
We're to be seen In abundance in de-
partment stores. The shamrock was
In evidence everywhere.
There We're only a few windows in
which articles of an offensive nature
We're shown. Some made specially
of the Clay pipei with Il green ribbon
twincd around tt, as if to indicate that
st. Patrick was the founder of the
pipe industry. Others displayed little
green pigs, as II to insinuate that
their shops We're pig pens. But these
We're In the minority, so much so that
they are hardly worthy of mention
here. et
Taken all in all, it was a kindly OBJ
scrvance of the day. The spirit shown
throughout the city said better than
1t could be said in words: ''Irishmen,
we salute you'll
For all OF this we who trace our
lineage to the Emerald Isle should be
duly thankful. A kindly spirit of CO.
operation and good will is beyond
price. Let lis cherish it. Let us. work
together for the common good Of all,
Let us observe the laws by whomso-
ever administered. Let us love and
respect our neighbor Of whatever race.

THE GETTYSBURG REUNION.

Next July the soldiers OF the North
and the South who participated in the
battle Of Gettysburg. will assemble for
the grandest and most significant
military reunion in the history of the
country. The veterans OF that great
battle who Wore the blue and the gray
will meet on the field to greet one an
other by friendly salutes where fifty
years ago they met to test their Prov
ess with shot and shell.
The place and date and purpose of
the reunion could not be more appro-
pirate. 1t will be on the field where
fifty thousand fell in LATHE, fifty years
from the date of that battle, for the
purpose of showing to the world that
there is no longer North and a
South.
1t is proper that there should be no
dividing line in the United States. 1t
is one nation, united under one flag,
The causes Of the Civil War have been
effaced by time. There is no slavery
question. The question of states
rights is settled forever. The differ
ences in the interests Of any two sec.
lions OF the country are not such that
they cannot profit by being under a
single government such as we are
blessed with today.
1t is right that the old soldiers
should meet and mingle and talk over
their experiences. They cherish no
animosities and the meeting can do no
harm. On the other hand it can be
beneficial. 1t will intensity the feeling
of love and loyalty for the flag.
Let the old soldiers see the battle
ground once more. Let them think of
the dark days and, by contrast with
the present prosperity and general
good feeling. take note of the wonder
full forward strides that have been
made since Gettysburg was fought.
They risked their lives for what they
thought was right. We cannot easily
conceive Of slavery being an issue be-
cause the process OF evolution has
pushed us past that stage. But con-
ditions We're different then. Good and
honest men believed it was just to have
slaves. Many OF them gave their lives
to sustain their position. Those who
fought at Gettysburg can understand
the conditions better than we. Their
ranks are thinning. Let them see
again and rejoice again and weep
where many Of them saw their COM
rades shed their blood.

A Demonstration.

The gathering Of Hibernians and of
members of the Ladies' Auxiliary re-
ceiving Holy Communion in the Cath
edral OF st. Paul on last Sunday in a
body, as their offering of love and 10y
atty to the church bequeathed to them
by st. Patrick, the Apostle Of Ireland,
was a demonstration unmistakable in
its meaning, and most edifying
sight. The large edifice was entirely
too small to hold the immense throng
that gathered. The retreat which be-
gan on Thursday and ended Sunday
evening under the direction Of the
Dominican father, Rev. F. A. Fannan,
was a decided success throughout and
was a great benefit to the individuals
who made it, and credit to the An
cient Order Of Hibernians and the
Ladies' Auxiliary as Catholic socie-
ties. This method Of celebrating St.
Patrick's Day which has been urged
by the National President Of the A. O.
H., James ]. Regain, and which has the
strong commentator of Rt. Rev. John
j. Lawler, D. D.. has met with the
unanimous cooperation by the menu
bers, and their enthusiasm is aroused
over the continued success Of this an
nual demonstration. 1t is we'll known
that the state, county and division
officers of the order and the bishop
and clergy of the Cathedral aided it in
every way. st. Paul Hibernians feel
that in this way of celebrating st. Pat.
rick's Day they are the banner city
Of America. Besides the fifteen hum
dred who approached the holy table
in the Cathedral at the 8 o'clock mass
1t is estimated that one thousand
more who We're unable to attend this
mass received Communion at other
masses. and: in other churches of. the
city. The Hibernians of st. Paul are
to be complimented on their love of
the Church and on their manifestation
of loyalty to the. ideals Of their Patron

CHRISTIAN BROTHERS
Governor suIxer Of New York Pays
Tribute to Their Worth.

second annual dinner of the graduates
of the Christian Brothers Academy
at Albany. In his speech he said:
II must congratulate my friend,
Brother Arater. principal of the acad.
envy, on what he has done for the ad-
vancement of education. I say that
a teacher is the greatest man in the
world, and I say SO advisedly. And
when you realize this statement you
will also realize what the Christian
Brothers have done for education dur.
ing $50 years. Whoever is a teacher
is doing greater work than the states.
man or soldier. Teachers make the
world go on and grow greater and
better. All that there is in civiliza-
ton the world owes to it's teachers
Continuing, the governor paid a
beautiful tribute to the late Brother
Justin, saying: ~.
Many years ago met great man,
Brother Justin. He taught me some
things which I shall never forget, and
l have tried to teach them to others.
For SO years there had been a strug-
gle on the Capitol Hill to pass a sim
pie honest bill, and for so years the
bill could not be passed. 1t was called
the freedom of worship bill, which al.
lowed a man to worship God accord
ing to the dictates of his conscience.
Brother Justin had more to do with
the passing of the bill in New York
than any other man in the state,
Il must also say it was due to
Brother Justin's unrelentine energy
and his influence at Washington that
a bill was passed authorizing the cree.
ton Of permanent Catholic chanel
on the grounds Of the West Point Mil
itary Academy. ..
1T is a matter of congratulation.

Brothers meets today with apprecia.
