WORK IS BOARDS PLAN
PLEASANT SURPRISE IS
WAITING FOR ADVANCE
AGENTS OF CIRCUSES

Tho next circus advance agent
who strikes Grand Forks will find
a pleasant surprise awaiting him
when he prepares to post his bills
around the town.
Under the bill board ordinance
recently passed by the city coun-
cil no bills can be posted for cir
cuses in this city, until the regular
license fec OF 5000 has been paid,
and the license issued.
This may prove something of q
jolt to some Of the circus gentry,
hut it is the only condition under
which they will be permitted to
.'papcr" the city.
Under this method the council
will be able to exercise q greater
amount of supervision over the
time ut which the shows are al
lowed to exhibit here than has
formerly been the case.

MOST REMARKABLE RECOGNITION

When Emil Oberhoffer plays the
Symphonic Pathetique, as Tschaikow-
skys greatest work Is called, he seems
to penetrate further into a certain
phase of the composers baffline per
sonality than any other conductor has
done. Every great composer has left
his autobiography in some one Of his
works. Beethoven left his III the i'm
mortal Fifth Symphony. Chopin chose
funeral march for his. Tschaikow-
sky put his into the great Pathetioue.
To some conductors this symphony

with the weight Of q great soul in tra-
vail. Others SEQ only the rich coiors
Of the Russians orchestral palette,
permitting the splendid orchestration
to eclipse the colossal thought figures
IN each movement. A balanced per-
formance of the Pathetique symphony

Bismarck, N. D., May 27.-Secre-

to the various county treasurers for
the amount of money due from auto
mobile license fees. The law requires
that the money be sent back to the
counties from which it was sent after
the expenses of running the depart

being returned for every automobile
license and the same amount for the
motorcycle license. Last year only
$2.40 was sent back but it was found
more could be sent and as the money
is needed more in the spring than in
the fall it was decided to raise the
limit.
In the April apportionment, which
is the largest this year, Cass county
leads with a total of 54 motorcycle
licenses and 769 automobiles which
gives them, to be expended on the
roads, $2,057 for the month of April

is THIS CULTURE?

Catholics have become more or
less accustomed, and, it seems, re
signed to reading about their re-
ligion in strange and Philistine
terms, Frequently the descrip-
lions given to our rites and
ceremonies are extravagant be-
yond expression. Very recently
the New York Sun tells us that
on a certain Sunday afternoon,
"All took the Blessed Sacrament
given by Rev. Thomas White, in
a field before a grotto dedicated
to the Sacred Heart. = The event
described was simply Benediction
of the Blessed Sacrament.
But the climax seems to have
been reached by well known
writer, no less a one than Mary
Roberts Rinehart. Relating to the
Saturday Evening Post her ex-
periences in the war zone she tells
us that she saw at an early morn
ing service in the great Gothic
church at Dunkirk y = the
red light of the Sacrament burn
ing before a shrine" and then,
far away, behind the altar, seven
women were conducting a private
Mass" Surely this was no place
even for a Catholic, at ga private
Mass conducted by seven
women.
1t appears almost incredible
that intelligent people will still
show such lamentable lack Of
knowledge of things that every
well read person is supposed to
know.

BURT-AGAIN.

America is to be enlightened
once more by the whirlwind cam
paign of the notorious "Bishop"
Burt. He is out to prove to Amer
leans that the country is going to
perdition because Of the Catholics
in our midst. One would think
that a man who had received the
merciless verbal thrashing given
to Burt in Minneapolis at the last
Methodist Conference in that
city; who had been exposed and
pilloried on account of his con-
nectiOn with the alleged Metho-
dist gains in Italy, and the So
called American (Methodist)
Church on the Via Venti Settem-
bre, in Rome, would have suffi-
cient sense left to preach his own
doctrines and not to assail other
churches. But what can one ex-
pect from a colleague of the rene
gade Mistraglia, who boosted
that he was, not only anointed
(Methodist bishop, but creased
all over. -

RAvAeEs OF INTEMPERANcE.

The rayages of war seem to have
to the rayages of intemperance. Only
now do all peoples realize how wide
spread and pernicious an evil it is
that, besides being a prolific source Of
poverty, crime, and disease, it has
wrecked and desolated more homes,
filled more graves, made more widows
and orphans than all the wars ever
waged. The drink bills of the nations
at present in bloody and disastrous
conflict have not only brought home
both to rulers and subjects the havoc
of intemperance, but existence would
be jeopardized by unchecked indul-
gence in intoxicating beverages. The
reformation of existing liquor laws
and their administration is demanded
by public sentiment the world over.
The question of temperance is engag-
ing attention as never befOre,-has be-
come, indeed, an international ques-
ton. New legislation in Russia,
France, Italy, Germany, and other
countries foreshadows more stringent
measures everywhere in the sale of in
toxicants. England and some of her
colonies are following the example set
them. In our own country SO many
states have gone dry" that some gen.
eral restriction of the liquor traffic
seems inevitable. A sober world may
prove to be the most notable triumph
and the greatest blessing OF the war
of nations -Ano Mo,to

ANOTHER SCRAP OF PAPER

Under the heading Germany Not
the only Faith-Breaker," the Catholic
Record 0ondon, Ont.,) says: Our
press rings the changes on Germany's
breach of faith with regard to Bel
GUM. 1t may not be generally
known even to the omniscient and
dogmatic moulders of public opinion
that at the Congress of Vienna the
five great powers of Europe pledged
themselves to see that the Papal
States should be kept intact and in
violable The acts were signed on
July Z, 1915. Forty years later, after
the Crimean War, when another Eu-
ropean settlement was agreed to, all
Europe reaffirmed at the Congress of
Paris what the Congress of Vienna
had declared regarding the Papal
States. In 1870, however, every one
of the five powers repudiated the
pledge to safeguard the independence
of the Pope. To prevent the spolia-
ton of the Holy See war was not
necessary. A word would have been
sufficient. That word was not spoken

GOOD FROM EVIL.

1t has been stated frequently
since the beginning of the pres
ent war. that religion has become
a most vital matter to many who
had grown careless. Instances
have. been offered in various coun-
tries Of the truth, Of the fact that
if war drives men to a violent
expression Of passion, it also leads
them nearer to God.
News reaches us that in the
city of Turin, in Italy, the people
have awakened to.a vivid realiza-
tion Of the beauty and the benefit
of Faith. Recently great cele-
bration took place at the Shrine
of Our Lady. Pilgrims came from
afar, and the people were aroused
by the. earnestness of the pious
and learned Cardinal Richelmy.
For three days and two nights the
Sanctuary was kept open for the
devotion Of the people who
crowded in and out in an unend-
ing streams In the course of the
preparations ANDY the celebration
of the. feast itself fifty.two thou
sand persons received Holy Com
munion. Among these more than
twenty-seven thousand offered
Holy Communion for the inten-
ton Of the Sovereign Pontiff.
Scenes of this character, though
not always ON so large a scale, are
common in Europe at present.
The people, aroused by the In
.exorable horror of war brought
home to them in so vital man
ner, are fleeing to the only source
of consolation and strength: to
God Himself. Jesus In the Blessed
Sacrament, and Mary, Help OF
Christians, are the centers, In diff
ferent spheres, of national sup
plication and prayer.
When the moral atmosphere be-
comes highly charged with athe-
ism and religious indifference God
allows man to work out has saliva

Judge. my son." said Rabbi Ismael
lex. 13a), 'be careful in thy work lest
thou err in adding or emitting one
iota, and so cause the destruction of
the whole world" Thus they strained
out a gnat" On the other hand, the
interior man, a prey to all passions, ex-
ercised "the wisdom of the flesh in
evading the law. They lost sight of
the great precepts of personal moral
ity, when all their energy was con
sumed in conforming to an outward
standard. According to the school of
Hillel, if wife cooked a bad dinner,
according to Aquiba, if she were less
attractive than another woman, di-
vorce proceedings might be instituted
against her. Thus they swallowed a
camel (Math. XIII, 24). AS no
moral teacher can take into account
such fiimsy pretexts, it must be said
that adulterous unions were almost as
frequent as divorces. IL in the serious
matter of a bill of divorce, by a
wicked casuistry the one grave reason
assigned by Moses could be extended
to any and every reason, there was
no putting an end to the evasions of
the Law.
If now the question be asked:
Whom had st. Paul in mind, when
writing to the Romans? We answer:
Compare the above with Romans IT.
1924, and you will see that he had
clearly the Pharisees in mind and that
the works of the law, which he was
assailing, are the works of the Phar-
isaic Law. 1t is the same Law, and
not the Mosaic Law, which he quoted.
This oversight of his point of view has
been general from Pratt to Peter. Lu-
theirs revolt was founded upon it
The basis of that revolt was not only
contrary to Christian Tradition; ii
was ridiculous. On the other hand,
the Church did not go one jot beyond
st. Paul nor ST. Paul one jot beyond
the Church. All this we shall attempt
to show in the following lecture on
Saul, the Pharisee.

There is increasing hope that
the number of analfabeti," or
those unable to read and write,
will be considerably diminished
as result of laws passed in two
states: South Carolina and Texas.
Legislation in Texas now makes
it compulsory for parents to send
their children to school; while
South Carolina leaves it optional
with every school district. Only
four states still fail to realize the
necessity of such laws: Florida,
Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi.

of suffering. Mans humanity
to man then becomes the scourge
in the hand Of God; and when
the proud spirit has been laid low
moral reformation usually follows.
Keen observers may pride them
selves ON an intimate knowledge
and insight into these terrible
catastrophes. But he who does
not stand upon the summit Of
Faith with his eye fixed on the
eternal Providence of God, fails
to grasp the reason of it all.

CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOLS
NUMBER OF PUPILS INCREASING.

in its report on the condition of
Catholic secondary education the ad
yisory committee of the executive
board of the Catholic Educational AS.
ISOLATION has divided the high schools
INTO three classes or indie
pendent high schools containing boys
college high schools and girls high
schools or academies.
Of the first class the committee
found that there were 59S schools
with an attendance of 29,476 in the
high school grades-17, 594 boys and
1882 girls. In the college high
schools or preparatory departments
there are 17,2O4 secondary students,
with $50 teachers. The girls high
schools number SIT, with 27,S58 high
school pupils. Altogether there are
1,276 secondary schools, the combined
attendance amounting to 1888. OF
this number 34,79S were boys and
80, TAO were girls. Much direct evil
dence is at hand to show that new
Catholic high schools are springing up
all over the country.
There is also evident everywhere
throughout the field of Catholic sec
ondary school work an intense desire,
coupled with serious efforts, for the
better preparation of teachers.
A higher normal school for the
training of Sisters, known as the Sis
ters' College, has been established at
the Catholic University, Washington,
d. C.
The committee found that of the
high schools containing boys, outside
of college high schools, 1856 have a
curriculum that is capable Of fitting
their pupils to enter standard col
leges.
