INDlAN GONGREss
cATHoAsc SIOUX WILL HONOR
tATHER DE sMET.

There will be many Congresses con-
vened this year, but one of the most
is that to be held on the
Yanktof Reservation, South Dakota,
which, Il addition to being the annual
Catholicl Congress of South Dakota, is
to be held as memorial in honor of
the seventy-ffth anniversary Of Fa-
ther De Smet's coming among the
TndiagA Especially the Sioux. A new
churdeh will be dedicated and
membia. tablet will be unveiled at
Greenwood on August 8, when mem
bers Of all the tribes evangelical by
Father De Smet will be present, and
also a number Of high Church digni-
taries among whom will be Rt. Rev.
Thomas O'Gorman, Bishop of Sioux
Falls, S. D.. Rt Rev. Joseph f. Busch,
Bishop of ST. Cloud, and Rev. VIM. Fl.
Ketcham, Director of the Bureau of
Catholic Indian Missions. Ten thou
sand and more living members Of the
once w&r-like Sioux nation, and other
thousands who now "rest with their
fathers" have joined the true fold
of Christ, but the Reservation has
never had a resident missionary un-
til last year, when Rev. H. l. West
ropp, 81 j., was sent to live on the
Reservation. He has reclaimed many
who haye fallen away, made many
converts, built churches, and wishes
to complete the work of converting
the whole Yankton tribe by this grand
gathering, which will, it is thought,
crown his efforts and put them on a
solid basis. /.

EPISCOPAL LINEAGE in
WESTERN AMERICA
A FEW POINTS OF HISTORICAL
INTEREST.
(Communicated.)

The following items of episcopal
lineage are Of interest to many
bishops and priests in the Middle
Western States of America:
September "a, A. d. 1915, in Rome,
Cardinal Joseph Doria consecrated Rt.
Rev. Louis William Dubourg, Bishop
of New Orleans.
March 25, A. .. 1924, in New Or
leans, Bishop Dubourg consecrated Rt.
Rev. Joseph Rosati, Coadjutor to the
Bishop of New Orleans, afterwards
Bishop of st. Louis.
November 80, A. d. 1841, in Phila-
delphia, Bishop Rosati consecrated Rt.
Rev. Peter Richard Kenrick, Coad-
jutor to the Bishop of ST. Louis, after
wards Bishop and Archbishop of st.
Louis.
The bishops were numerous in the
Western States who, one time or
another, we're consecrated by Arch
bishop Kenrick of ST. Louis. We note,
particularly, the lineage deriving
through him, inasmuch as it concerns
the Diocese of st. Paul.
July "a, A. d. 1859, in st. Louis,
Archbishop Kenrick consecrated Rt.
Rev. Thomas L. Grace, Bishop of st.
Paul
December 10Th, A. D. 1875, Bishop
Grace consecrated Rt Rev. John Ire
land, Coadjutor to the Bishop of st.
Paul, afterwards Bishop and Arch
bishop of st. Paul.
Later, at different intervals, Arch
bishop Ireland consecrated Rt. Rev.
James McGolrick, Bishop of Duluth;
Rt. Rev. Joseph Cotter, Bishop of Wi
mona; Rt Rev. John Stanley, Bishop
of Fargo; Rt. Rev. James Trobec,
Bishop of st. Cloud; Rt. Rev. Alexan-
der Christie, Bishop of Vancouver,
afterwards Archbishop of Oregon City;
Rt Rev. John S. Starfha, Bishop OF
Lead; Rt Rev. John ]. Keane, Bishop
of Cheyenne, afterwards Archbishop
of Dubuque; Rt. Rev. Patrick R. Hef-
ron, Bishop of Winona; -Rts Rer 4at1.es
O'Reilly, Bishop of Fargo; Rt. Rev,
Timothy Corbett, Bishop of Crookston;
Rt Rev. Joseph F. Busch, Bishop OF
Lead, afterwards Bishop of st. Cloud;
Rt. Rev. Vincent Wehrle, Bishop OF
Bismarck; Rt. Rev. John J. Lawler
Auxiliary Bishop of st. Paul.
In this manner several Bishops in
the Western States, and the many
priests ordained by them, trace back
their episcopal and sacerdotal orders
to Cardinal Joseph Doria, of Rome
under the date Of September "a, A. D
1916.
Another line of spiritual lineage tc
which are linked many Bishops anC
priests in the United States, is thai
of the See of Baltimore, whose frs
Bishop, Rt. Rev. John Carroll, was
consecrated, August Is, 1890, in Lul
worth Castle. England, by the Vicar
Apostolic, Charles Walmesley.
Other Bishops of the United States
received episcopal conservation, som,
in Europe and some in America
through other lineages. The two prin
cipal lineages, however, are those w
have indicated-the Roman, through
Cardinal Joseph Doria, and the Eng
lish, through the Vicar-Apostolic
Charles Walmesley.

DEDICATE PLR0GHIAL SCHOOL
IMPRESSIVE SERVICES ARE HELD
TO DEDICATE SACRED HEART
SCHOOL AT ABERDEEN, SOUTH
DAKOTA.

The Sacred Heart school, which
with grounds and furnishings cost the
Catholics of this vicinity $4,000, was
dedicated Tuesday, July 1, by the Rt.
Rev. Bishop O'Gorman sNtsted by
upwards of twenty priests Of the dio-
cese. The ceremony was very i'm
pressive. Immediately after the dedi-
cation the Bishop, priests and laity
repaired to the auditorium Of the
school where addresses appropriate
to the occasion were delivered.
Father Dermody presided and intro
duced the speakers.
The attendance was large consider
ing the holidays just past and the fact
that it was not possible to give ad-
vance notice of it, the newspapers not
publishing on Monday.
Bishop O'Gorman spoke on the har-
monious and simultaneous develop
ment of the child-body, mind and
SOUL Addresses we're made also by
FIR. Desmond, Mayor E. M. Paul, and
others.

sOGIALIsTIC ACTIVITIES
IN THE COLLEGES
INTERCOLLEGIATE SOCIETY RE-
PORTS PROGRESS DURING
YEAR.

For several years the intercollegiate
Socialist Society has been winning col
lege and university students to the doc
trines of the Social Revolution through
the medium of the various branches
which it establishes in such institu-
tions. The Central Bureau of the Cen
tral-Verein at least twice during the
past year pointed out to the Catholic
public the progress which this organi-
zation was making among State, nom
sectarian and Protestant places of
education. We now learn from the
latest report of Harry w. Ladder, the
organizing secretary of the society,
that the season which has just closed
was productive of still further gains.
The New York Evening Post, in its
issue of June 80, gives us this informa-
tion. 1t says: Sixteen undergraduate
groups for the study of Socialism
have been added Co the list of the
chapters of the intercollegiate So
cialist Society in the past season, ac-
cording to Harry w. Ladder, organic
ing secretary of the l. S. S., in his
report of the years work, just pub
lished. These include the New York
Law School, Vassar, and Syracuse, in
New York; Bates and Bowdoin, in
Maine; Pittsburg, Carnegie Institute
of Technology, and Temple, in Penn
sylyania; Howard, in Washington Cd
CO.; Oberlin, in Ohio; Albion, in
Michigan; University of Utah, ir
Utah; Northwestern, in Illinois; La
Crosse Normal, in Wisconsin, anG
Fargo Agricultural and the University
of North Dakota, in North Dakota. The
number of l. S. s. chapters now il
existence in the colleges is between
sixty and seventy. Portland, Seattle
and Wilkes-Barre alumni chapters
have also been added within the las
few months.
"The Vassar group was the larges
that applied this year. 1t has a. mem
Il bership of S6. The Yale, Harvard
| Columbia, Union Theological, Rad
cliffe, and other chapters were mos
active throughout the season.

CATHOLIC PROHIBITION LEAGUE
WILL UNITE WITH ANTl-sALooN
LEAGUE TO ATTAIN NATION
WIDE PROHIBITION.

The Catholic Prohibition League of
America held its convention July sixth
to ninth at Atlantic City, N. J. Among
the various resolutions adopted was
one authorizing the League to cooper
ate with the Anti-Saloon League to
achieve national prohibition.
In joint session between the two
conventions Rev. John ]. Curran, the
noted Catholic temperance advocate,
is said to have pleaded for a change
in the Catholic view, which has
tended to hold temperance as prob
lem of individual morality rather
than Of legislation.

LIFE AND WORK OF GREGORY MENDEL

years. His elevation to the high po-
sition of abbot of the monastery
finally terminated his successful
career of an educator.
Though abbot of a monastery he
still cherished the idea of continuing
his scientific Investigations. But this
idea vanished in the face of the many
pressing duties of his vocation and
| the long controversies into which he
was dragged concerning the taxation
of the monastery property. Racial
disputes and quarrels arising from
| the peculiar circumstances of the
country embittered the last years of
his life. He died at the monastery
on the 9Th of January, 1884. The city
in which he lived and labored erected
public monument in his honor and
unveiled it on the End of October,
1910.

was in position to formulate ex-

issue. Mendel himself indicates rea-
sons for the failure of his predeces-
sors, and in this he shows his char

have not succeeded as among all the
numerous experiments made, not one
has been carried out to such an ex-
tent and in such a way as to make
it possible to determine the number
of different forms under which the
offspring of hybrids appear, or to ar
range these forms with certainty ac-
cording to their separate generations,
or definitely to ascertain their statis-
tical relations" (MendeIs papers,
Translation by w. Batasan, p. 1860.
The studious care which Mendel
takes in his experimentation stamps
him as a finished scientist, who set
about his task without preconceived
ideas, which only too often vitiate
the work of the biased mind. Mendel
lays down principles, describes condi-
tions that must govern successful re-
search in order to arrive at the true
solution of problems proposed Dur
ing eight years he scrupulously oh,
served the manner in which genera
tions are interrelated, noted minutely
differentiations occurring in the off
spring of the various progenitors, and
then finally synthetized the results of
his study in the well known MendePs
Law.
For various reasons enumerated in
his communications to the Briinn pub
lication he chose for the subject of his
experimentation the well-known Pisum
Sativum of which there exist many
varieties. To bring out the relation of
generations it was necessary to select
seeds of plants that possessed differ
entiating characters such as differ
ences in the length and color of the
stem; in the size and form of the
leaves; in the position, color and size
of the flowers, in the length of the
flower stalks; in the color, form and
size of the pods; in the form and size
of the seeds; in the color of the seed
coats and of the albumen" (Batesor

(5y Rev. Or. Seliskar, st. Paul
Seminary

Darwin's theory of Natural selection
was in many respects an important
synthesis in regard to the history OF
life on earth The wide acceptance
of his view on organic evolution
showed that the majority of scientific
men we're satisfied that the last WORD
had been said in the solution of that
vast problem The final proof had been
furnished for the theory of evolution
and the cause assigned to the pro
gressive development in the living
world seemed to have satisfied the
learned. This optimism, no doubt
premature, made the further study OF
the question unnecessary, if not en-
tirely useless. 1t is easily seen that
the efforts of an unknown ecclesiastic,
who gave expression to the results of
his own investigation along those
lines in an unimportant publication
should pass unnoticed. To this rea-
son we must, no doubt, ascribe the
fact that Gregory Mendels work on
the problem of evolution and heredity
was allowed to be entirely ignored by
his contemporaries, even by those of
his own nationality and tongue. Great
discoveries, among which Mendels law
must be classed, are liable to cause a
shock to the minds of men who have
adopted views that must be discarded
I in the light of new facts. Scientists
| frequently have little understanding
and less love, for views that do not
coincide with their own pet theories.
And Mendel, as the great men of every
age, was in advance of his time. He,
indeed, predicted with great confidence
that his time would come; still he did
) not live long enough to enjoy the full
J filment of his prophecy. Biology was
not at his time sufficiently advanced
to tolerate ready acceptance of Men
del's far-reaching conclusions. But il
the world of science was slow in
adopting his views, the delay was to
, some extent compensated for in the
I admission on the part of present day
Nscientists that Mendels law is one OF
the most important modern discoveries
In the field of Biology. a.
Gregory Mendel had not the advan-
j lagos of wealth to permit him to enjoy
i liberal education which his intellec,
hal abilities had warranted. He was
born of poor parents on the 22nd OF
July, 1922, at Heizendorf in Austrian
Silesia. That he was gifted above the
/ average student was already recog
:, nized in the school at Leipnitz; at a
great sacrifice to themselves his par
ents sent the promising youth to the
gymnasium of Troppau, and one veal
to Olmnitz. With great honors Men
| del finally finished his classics and
\ philosophical studies, and in 1S43 ap
: piled for admission to the Augustiniar

"K0nigskloster" where he was or
dained priest in 1S47. During the sub
\ sequent four years he was employed
