The discipline which makes the

or tyrannical treatment; on the con-

The Dickinson press., 1917-03-03

Especially in times like ours, when
materialistic tendencies lead SO many
souls to eternal perdition and cause
here on earth great social evils, it is
most necessary that chosen souls
learn from the Son of God, in His
self-chosen poverty, the true worth
of temporal goods.
May the grace of God and the love
OF Christ, especially during the holy
season Of Lent, enlighten you all that
become rich In grace, well grounded
IN faith, "rooted and founded in
The Grace of God the Father and
the charity of Jesus Christ and the
love Of the Holy Ghost be with you

the love of Jesus Christ enlighten u

the love of Jesus Christ enlighten our
minds and intlame our hearts so that
we joyfully may make financial sacri-
fees for the bodily and spiritual well
fare of our fellow men. Now, in a
new diocese like ours, where there is
so much to be built up, you Catholics
should assist with the temporal means
given to you by Almighty, God, and
this also in proportion to the wealth
which God has given to you. How
sad when some very rich. Catholics
give for good purposes not ever as
much as the really poor; how poor
will such men appear before the judg-
ment seat of God; how will they bear
their remorse in the pains of purga-
tory for all the opportunities lost be-
cause the love Of money had made
them partly blind. Dear Brethren,
consider now, and not only after
death, your riches in the light of
Christ, and be generous in building up
the Church in this new country.
Contribute willingly and c~heerfully
towards educating young men for the
holy priesthood, so that we may 500
have priests enough for the whole
diocese; make sacrifices for establish
ing Mission Churches where Catholics
are few in number; make sacrifices
for parish schools, in order that the
children of this diocese may have an
opportunity of receiving thorough
Catholic education; make sacrifices
for the establishing and maintaining
of Catholic hospitals, which give help
not only in bodily s%ufferings, but are
much instrumental in removing relig-
ious prejudice and in leading souls
back to God. But let our charity be
not satisfied with contributing to local
needs, but help to spread the kingdom
of God also in heather countries.
Moreover, we have the poor always
with us; that is, we have every day
many opportunities of practicing tenn
poral and spiritual works of mercy.
St. Leo the Great thus speaks in one
of his sermons: "By many testi-
monies Of the Holy Scripture we r
taught how great is the power and
merit of almsgiving; for it is certain
that every one does good to his own
soul as often as he mercifully assists
others in their distress. If we be-

lieve that whatever we give to the
needy, we give to our own selves, our
generosity will be prompt and joy
full. We acquire for ourselves a
treasure in heaven whenever we feed
Christ in His poor. God has blessed
you abundantly with temporal goods
in order that through your works of
mercy the porr be relieved of his
needs and you be freed from a multi
tude of sins. o wonderful provi-
dence and goodness of God who wills
that by one act of mercy two be as
sisted, the poor and ourselves"
T.: Finally, I beg all OF you to
mediate often on our Saviour in His
poverty which He chose for His bride
when in His infinite kindness He be-
came man. Think often Of the poor
stable in Bethlehem; think often of
His word: "The foxes have their
holes and the birds have their nests,
but the Son of Man has not whereon
to lay His head" Consider otter the
Saviour on the cross, stripped and
suffering, who in the end had no
grave of His own, but was buried in
the tomb of another.
Rich and poor should often consider
these truths; the poor will then be
encouraged and strengthened to fol-
low with joy their Saviour on the
hard but royal road of poverty; the
rich will then become truly humble
while they compare their own we'll
being with the poverty of their Lord
and Saviour. Then both, the poor
and the rich, will experience that
.blessedness which our Lord has an
nounced, saying: BLESSED are the
poor in spirit, for theirs is the king
dom of Heaven" Then both will
learn, not only to obey the COM
mandments binding under pain OF sin
in the use of their temporal goods,
but rather to be guided by the super
abundant love of Christ.

SOURCE OF VEGETABLE SEEDS
Many Kinds Cannot Be Grown In This
Country.

Many Kinds Cannot Be Grown In This
Country.
For years enormous quantities Of GER
tain kinds of vegetable seeds have been
produced in this country, different
kinds in different sections, and have
given as good crops as any that could
be imported. A writer in Farm and
Home points out, however, that other
kinds have seldom proved Of good quail
ity when grown here. That is especial
ly true Of celery seed. Considerable
celery seed Is grown in California, but
it cannot be compared with that which
comes from France.
Much carrot, radish and beet seed
comes from France. These seeds are
produced in California, too, but it is a
curious fact that the remarkable vital
ity shown by California seeds is con-
sidered by many growers to be a dis
advantage, especially in the case of
root crops, for the tops grow with
great luxuriance at the expense Of the
roots. A considerable amount of car
rot seed is grown in eastern Massa-
chusetts, mostly in the towns of Dan
vers and Middleton. This seed sells for
SIS a pound and gives excellent crops.
Nearly all Of the caulifower seed
used in this country comes from Den
mark, and the best is expensive, cost
ing up to $40 a pound. The best is
none too good, however, and many fail
ures in growing caulif1ower are due
solely to the fact that cheap seed is
used. It may not be worth while. try
ing to grow caulilower seed in this
country, but farmers and market gar
deners often find it to their advantage
to save their W carrot, beet, onion,
corn, pea, bean, cucumber and melon
seed. In the middle west and in Michi-
gan it is a very common practice for
seed dealers to contract with farmers
for the growing Of seed crops. Over
5000 acres are devoted to the growing
of vegetable seeds for one company in
Michigan, a thousand acres being given
over to cucumbers alone. One Phila-
delphia concern is said to have ar
ranged to buy the products of 10000
acres in a single season. Although
Michigan is famous for its cucumbers.
a considerable number are raised in
Massachusetts. Large quantities of
sweet corn and squash seeds are pro-
duced in New England.

70 REDUCE HOUSE MEMBERSHIP.
Waslington-The mooted problem
Of reducing the membership of the
present cumbersome and unwieldy
house Of representatives would solve
itself automatically if the principle in
volved in a constitutional amendment
offered recently by Senator Poindex-
ter of Washington, were adopted. ac-
cording to officers of he National
American Woman Suffrage associa-
ton.
The Poindexter amendment provides
for striking the word male" from the
amendment, and its effect would be to
base representation in the house of
representatives and in the electoral
college IN the voting strength of the
respective states.
Taking the vote cast in the suffrage
states as a proper basis for repre-
%sentation. because only in those states
are American 'citizens granted full
night to representation irrespective of
sex, the present house of 435 members
Woul be cut to a house Of 247 men,
hers. Aside from n question of how
soon this basis of representation may
actually he adopted, the drastic
changes which would result from the
acceptance OF this equitable plan ex-
hibit graphically the great disparity
which exists between the apportion-
ment of the present house n the vot-
Frs entitled to representation. Section
al influence in the house would be
topsy-turvied. New England and
northern STATES which deny suffrage
to women would be hit as hard as the
south. The power of the suffrage
states in the house would be prac-
tioally doubled.

LEGISLATURE OF 1913 SUBMITS
QUESTION TO VOTERS.

In the campaign of 1914 woman
was voted on under article 1872 Of
the constitution and required a ma
iority Of all the votes cast at that
election. Suffrage was the only bill
with such a requirement and there
was no special provision made for
counting the vote on this question,
therefore "the blanks and the nos were
not separated
According to the returns. the blanks
md the nos Yere 49,34S making a
total of s9,557az251 more than voted
tor all candidates for governor which
had the biggest vote at that election.

Ala to Highways. 6s,441, on terminal
elevators, the big fight of the year,

It is reasonable to suppose that
suffrage received about the same
vote as these three amendments or
pround $4,000 votes. From these fig
ures it is proof enough that Woman
Suffrage received a majority Of 49,
900.
IN suffrage had not had the
overwhelming handicap Of the blank
votes. the women Of North Dakota
would have been enfranchised citizens
two years arc.
we ask, is it fair to the women Of
Yhe state to keep them working year
after year for full enfranchisement
when the majority Of the voters have
already decided the question affirm
atively? We ask, is it fair for the op-
position to say that suffrage was
pyerwhelmingly defeated by 10000
votes? We ask. is it fair for a North
yoakota senator in Washington to re-
fuse to. vote for the federal amend
ment with the Reuse that his CEN
atituents do not want It? -.
