IRISH JESUIT
DIES IN DUBLIN
Lived in America and Was Chaplain
in Confederate Army in
Civil War.

Rev. John Bannon, who spent six
teen years in America as a parochial
missionary in st. Louis and chaplain
in the Confederate army during the
Civil War, died in Dublin July IA. He
was a distinguished member Of the
Society OF Jesus and held many i'm
portant trusts in the order. His last
position was that OF Superior Of St.
Francis Xavier's.
Father Bannon was ordained in
Dublin In 1853 and took pride in the
distinction Of being the first priest or
dained by Cardinal Cullen. Twelve
years before the Civil War he came to
America. At the close of the war he
went back to Europe and in 1864
Joined the Jesuits Few priests were
better known than he was during the
years when, as the companion of
Father Robert Healy and Father For

that municipal ownership of public

Much could be said on both sides of

presume to solve 1t.
Many other points have been ad-
vanced against the charter by the men
who were appointed to draw it up.
The fact that SO many, Of them have
refused to sign it@adds to its import
ance as question for the people to
consider.
If Minneapolis isS to have q new
form of government it should be an
improvement over the present form.
else why the change? These few de-
fects have been pointed out in the
best of faith. The purpose is to get
the people to think about the pro-
posed change in the government of
Minneapolis. If the charter would
provide a better form of government
for the city than the present. it
should be adopted. If not, it should
be rejected. If it contains defects the
time to eliminate them is before it is
adopted and not after.
