REDUCING THE HIGH
COST OF LIVING

In every walk of life the great
majority of successful men are
those who have had to struggle.
At the State Teachers Associ-
alton three years ago, 65 out of
the 70 men seated around the
Schoolmasters' Banquet table
had worked all or part of their
way through school. The pres
ent high rates for board shut the
door of opportunity on a great
number of boys who could at
tend school if the cost was not
so great.
The principal of the School of
Agriculture at the Montana State
College at Bozeman has organ
lied a cooperative boarding club
for Is boys. Members of the
club secure board, room and
laundry service for SIG per

comfortably furnished rooms
and plenty of nutritious food.

The Game Wardens

That an effort will be made
during the coming session of the
state legislature to abolish the
office of state game warden,
which would carry with it all
deputy game wardens, there is
little doubt. The proposition is
is receiving a general endorse
ment all over the state, the opin-
ion prevailing that the sheriffs
of the state and their deputies
can look after this part of the
states affairs with as good re-
suits and with far less expense
than under the present system.
There may be game wardens
in the larger cities in the state
drawing princely salaries, but in
the rural communities, as rule,
they are conspicuous by their
absence. Rural communities fire.
quently have a sheriff or deputy
sheriff in their midst. Gener-
ally speaking, the office of game
warden is considered a main
spoke in the political wheel of
the party in power, kept up at
the expense of the tax paying
public, and with the exception of
the politicians the people of Mon
tana are of the opinion that it
can be beneficially dispensed
with. As a matter of economy
and lower taxes, with equal SER
vice in the game department,
the legislature might we'll turn
this work over to the sheriffs. |
Other offices are on the list and
may also fare the same fate.

INTO HEAVENLY REST.

The angel of death claimed Miss
Anna H. Lehan, daughter of Fire
Chief Timothy Lehan and one Of the
most popular school teachers in
Louisville, Sunday morning, follow
ing an illness that developed only
two days before. Her beautiful life
is closed, but the memory of her
many deeds of kindness, charity and
good will stand out conspicuously
and to a great degree will console
those left to mourn her loss. In the
school circle her kindly counsel and
solicitude for those under her charge
will be sadly missed, for Miss Lehan
was companion as well as teacher,
interested always in whatever con-
cerned those near and dear to her.
Miss Lehan was graduate of the
Girls High School and the Normal
School and was thirty-three years
old. To the father and mother and
brothers and sisters surviving deep
est sympathy of legion Of friends
Is extended. The funeral was held
Tuesday morning from the residence,
1928 West Broadway, with requiem
high mass at st. Charles Borromeo
church. Father Raffo was the cele-
brant of the mass and preached a
feeling sermon, saying such as the
deceased are rewarded in the king
dom prepared for the blessed who
have fulfilled their work on earth.

trand Hall, the report of Financial
Secretary T. ]. Langan showed that
the affairs of the division were in
good shape and that the end OF the
year would show the smallest proper
tion of delinquents in years. In
addition the division has expended
a large amount this year for sick and
death benefits and many donations
to charitable enterprises. A letter
was read from Mrs. Sallie Curley,
sister of the late Michael Ruhan, a
member of the division, in which
she expressed her thanks for the
many kind favors and attentions
shown her brother during his illness,
and wished much future prosperity
for the officers and members. John
j. Barry, Thomas ]. Langan and
David j. Reilly were appointed to
draft suitable resolutions on the
death of Mr. Ruhan. President
John H. Hennessy urged the mem
bers to work for big attendance at
the next meeting, when the annual
election of officers will be held and
the exact date for the proposed
initiation will be decided.

study of languages, taking up their
work where II was interrupted by
the war. These students will be
cared for without charge for board,
lodging or tuition. The University

tribute to her worth, saying 1t may
be truthfully said of Mrs. Durrett

none can fill but the good mother.
She left to her family and friends a

ENEMIES EXPOSED.
Text of the True and knights Columbus OLa
knights of Columbus of
Threadbare Calumny Deceives No Longer

After a thorough examination,
these Masons made the following re-
port:
1--WE hereby certify that by author
| ity of the highest officer of the
Knights of Columbus in the State of
California, who acted under instruc-
tions from the supreme officers of
the order in the United States, we
we're furnished a complete copy of
all the work, ceremonies and pledges
used by the order, and that we care
fully read, discussed and examined
the same. We found that while the
order is in a sense a secret associa-
| ton, 1t is not an oath-bound organi-
cation and that its ceremonies are
comprised in four degrees, which
are intended to teach and inculcate
principles that lie at the foundation
Of every great religion and every free
State. Our examination of these
ceremonials and obligations was
made primarily for the purpose of
ascertaining whether or not a certain
alleged oath of the Knights of
Columbus which had been printed
and widely circulated was in fact
used by the order, and whether, il it
was not used, any oath, obligation or
pledge was used which was or would
be offensive to Protestants or
Masons, or those who are engaged in
circulating document of peculiar
viciousness and wickedness. We
find that neither the alleged oath,
nor any oath or pledge bearing the
hottest resemblance thereto in mat
ter, manner, spirit or purpose, is
used or forms a part of the cere-
monies of any degree of the knights
of Columbus. The alleged oath is
scurrilous, wicked and libelous and
must be the invention of an impious
and venomous mind. We find that
the Order of Knights of Columbus,
as shown by its rituals, is dedicated
to the Catholic religion, charity and
patriotism. There is no propaganda
proposed or taught against Prot
estants or Masons or persons not of
Catholic faith. Indeed, Protestants
and Masons are not referred to, di-
rectly or indirectly, in the cere-
monials and pledges The cere-
monial of the order teaches a high
and noble patriotism, instills a love
OF country, inculcates reverence for
law and order, urges the con-
scientious and unselfish performance
of civic duty and holds up the copsti-
tuition of our country as the richest
and most precious possession of
Knight of the order. We can find
nothing in the entire ceremonials of
the order that to our minds could be
objected to by any person.

WHAT AGITATORs WANT.

There are some who appear to
think the most effective way to meet
the anti-Catholic agitation which
has been active during the closing
days of the political campaign is to
start counter agitation. No greater
mistake could be made. The agi-
tators want to create a disturbance.
That Is one of their objects; and
they want Catholics to descend to
their level of argument and to meet
them on their own ground. They
have gained a great deal IL they can
only succeed in starting a disturb
ance with Catholics on one side and
the bigots on the other. We should
refuse to be placed at that disad-
vantage.
For be it remembered that the
bigots are only a small minority in
the average community. Outside
their ranks is large body of hon
est, broad-minded tolerant non-Cath-
olics whose respect and confidence
Catholics have, If they will only re-
spect themselves. These need not
be argued with to convince them
that Catholics are good neighbors
and good citizens. Our blameless
lives are the best argument for
them. OF course it is hard test of
patience to meet suspicion and cal
umny without showing resentment.
That is scarcely to be expected in
deed of weak human nature. But
resentment should not lead to un-
reason.
Again 1t should be remembered
that most-if not all-this anti
Catholic craze is political in its or
igin. 1t is fomented by self-seeking
politicians, who recklessly arouse
religious prejudice for their own
political ends. Little they reck of
the harm to the community where
they SOW the seeds of religious hate.
They see only the momentary gain
that may come to them individually.
We agree with the New York Sun
that no more hideous nightmare can
be conceived than the American peo-
pie divided into hostile camps along
lines of religious belief. In such a
state OF things all the true issues
are certain to be ignored. The in
eSiSoeo VI lhc COuulIy at large are
sure to be neglected and forgotten
In the peoples hatred of each other.
There can be no worse crime against
Americanism than to SOW the germs
OF such a grievous distemper among
the voters. The narrow prejudice of
one campaign might conceivably be
the seeds of harvests for many sue
ceeding years of misunderstanding,
discord. enmity, both social and
political.
These are the evils that are bred
in the slime of religious prejudice
and intolerance. Against them ev-
cry American citizen who is worthy
of the name should lend his aid. But
as for the Catholic church, she has
nothing to fear from the attacks of
the bigots She grows strong in num-
bers and thrives amid persecution.
II is Indifference among her children
and not opposition from without that
is the enemy she has to fear. We
have always believed and we are
confirmed in this belief by our ex-
perience that the church will gain
Immensely by the attempt to kindle
anew the smouldering fires of bigotry
In this country.
