FATHER DOwLINGs LECTURE

After waiting over an hour and a
half Saturday night to hear Reverend
S. j. Bowling the crowd that packed
ST. James hall listened to most
remarkable lecture. Father Bowling
who was scheduled to talk at Sis,
was delayed at Eland Junction for sew
eral hours and did not arrive until
9:15. The uncertainty in the railroad
traffic was the cause of more or less
anxiety on the part of a great many
who, having heard Father Bowling at
the chautauqua last summer, were
eager and anxious to hear him again.
As a consequence Father Brennan's
phone was buzzing back the busy sig
nal all afternoon and evening. The
audience was more than. repaid for
the time they waited to hear the elo
quent speaker. Father Bowling is a
finished orator and he talked of the
prison life, and of the "Cure of
Crime" of the eighty-five per cent of
the unfortunates now serving time
who will ultimately be released to
again take up their place in society.
He emphasized the fact that rigorous
discipline, absolute and answering
justice together with schools and other
means of education were salient feat
ures in the cure of crime. He spoke
| most eloquently on the inestimable
value to society of the early training
of the youth in a religious home. With
all sincerity he urged the parents not
to forget that the way the twig is bent
so the tree will grow" Father Dow
ling has, during his service as chap
lain in the prison at Waupun, organ
| lied prison school that now has three
| hundred and seventeen students en-
rolled. Some years ago he organized
the prison band, composed of inmates
and today that band is equal to some
| of the best in the state.
Reverend Bowling was a guest of
Father Brennan while in the city and
celebrated high mass Sunday at st.
! James church, when he delivered a
very scholarly sermon. He also ad-

WORST EVER KNOWN

There are those who are still growl-
ing about the railroad companies not
clearing their roads of snow and Civ
ing us service. These men should be
asked to go down the line and look
over conditions.
The st. Paul has been the hardest
hit because of a long stretch of level
country where the wind has a. clean
sweep. If the company had had three
times as many men at work with an
unlimited number of the most ap-
proved snow plows and the strongest
engines, it could have made no head
| way, as the snow was blown in faster
| that it could be thrown out. A long
stretch of level country, with it's deep
cuts, had to be dug out by men and it
was a slow process, and it has taken
| nearly a week to get the roads open
and daily trains running again.
The Northwestern has also had a
hard time of it. Large crews have
been at work south and owing to the
nature of the country, the trains have
been able to get through to Wausau
every day. This has not been the case
going west. The road has been bad
ly blockaded from here toSMarshfeld
and very few trains have been run
since Tuesday. Saturday, Sunday and
Monday no trains could run to Marsh
field.
The conditions have been the same
throughout the north and Wausau has
even Jared better than many cities
Merrill and Tomahawk, above; Most
nee and Knowlton, below; were prac-
ticallV without anV train service and
this has been the condition on all
roads, and there has been no regular
service even in the larger cities.
The roads paid men a high price
to work on Sunday and have been do
ing all in their power to get things
righted. 1t has been an unusual conG
dition which will not be repeated, per-
haps, in ones life time. The roads are
to be congratulated on their good
work.

M. nj. CORNER.
God moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform,
He plants His footsteps in the sea
And rides upon the storm"

And rides upon the storm.
This verse of an old hymn comes
to mind this morning as the snow falls
in sheets, undoing all the still unfin-
ished work of snow cleaning. Man
proposes; God disposes.
Maybe through all the strife and tur-
moil of this world, the still, small
voice will soon be heard saying, Peace
be STILL" Let us hope so, and let us be
of those that wait and look for it.
Does some one call this, Peace
without honor? A railroad strike has
been averted, and the opposing leaders
have shaken hands and this because
another war was imminent. Isn't it
strange that men will make cOnces-
sions for the sake of war, which they
would not make for the sake of peace.
Now, if England and Germany could
be induced to calm down and call off
their strike for the sake of millions of
innocent people who suffer on account
of it, wouldn't it be a grand thing
and-Peace with Honor?

New York. Dec. 24.-The recent ad-

the stock exchange, which continued
today, were the subject Of comment
in connection with the persistence Of
peace rumors in the financial district.
While the extremely low prices made
by the bonds last week are deemed
TO have made the issues attractive
to investors, some observers thought
the demand, reported to have come to
q considerable extent from abroad
was Of more than usual significance.
