Real Remedy for Imperfect Primary.

The Governor of New York is one
Republican who is not obsessed with
the idea that the direct primary
should be abolished. Accordingly, the
opponents of the primary are casting
about TO see If enough votes can be
had to pass repeal over Gov. Whit
mans veto. It will be hard Job, we
imagine. and it will be still harder
job to justify such action before the
people. The primary laws of most
states are imperfect, no doubt, but
they contain a vital germ of popular
government which the people are nur-
turing. The real remedy for any evils
which the primary laws contain is to
make participation in the primary
compulsory. or ct any rate to penalize
the failure to take part in a primary as
well as in 9 general election,

Editorial Comment
The Sound Method.
(Lewiston SUM

You may call it budget, but this
method of giving hearing to every
one who asks money from the state Is
at best but start that may result In
a sound method of appropriation.
Governor Milliken's theory seems to
be to get in all the demands on the
treasury and then cut out or cut down
until the total comes within the States
income. That is better than the old
way of piling up appropriations until
the Governor warns thes Legislature
that it is appropriating more than the
State can pay. The sound method VIII
include a carefully drawn approprla-
ton bill, worked out by the Governor
and the State Treasurer in consulta-
ton with the heads Of departments;
and Herewith a review of the sources
of revenue, and proposed additions or
reductions in taxation to keep the rev.
enue a little larger than expenditure.

been needed There has been some
talk in regard to this latest move of
Capt Holt and before the action was
taken there was much opposition but
finally the members of the st. John
society decided to leave the matter
with Capt Holt. Mayor Girard in
terested himself in the move and was
a great help to the boys. 1t is pur-
posed by the High school coach that
all precautions be taken to keep the
hall in good condition now that the
owners have been kind enough to loan
the use of 1t.

OFFICIALS OF SIX COURTS WERE
INSTALLED-MRS.. ROSE RIFT
MAN IN CHARGE.
(Communicated.)

The various courts of the Mime
apolis Womens Catholic Order of For
esters held joint installation of Off
GERS and an initiation of new members,
Friday evening, February 16, in Cor
vile Hall, the meeting place of In
carnation Court No. 933. A class of
forty new members was initiated by
chief ranger, who also conducted the
installation ceremonies. About two
hundred members of the order were
present at the meeting which was pre-
sided over by Mrs. Fannie Miller,
state deputy. The candidates for mem
after the opening of the meeting and
given the obligations of membership
under the tutelage of Mrs. Rittman.
The new members were then seated
and the officers for the current year
were conducted to the front of the hall,
where Mrs. Miller presented them to
the high chief ranger. When the cere-
monies of installation were completed
under the guidance of Mrs. Rittman,
a musical and literary program was
rendered.
Reverend J. nj. Cleary made brief
address congratulating the women on
the splendid status of the order. Mrs.
Rittman, in her address, dealt at con-
siderable length with the growth of
the order in membership and financial
resources since she became high chief
ranger eight years ago. Since that
time the number of members in good
standing has grown from little more
than $4,000 to 1926. The reserve
funds have increased from less than
100000 to more than $2,400,000. The
bonds held by the order have been pur-
chased with such care that those held
by it a year ago increased in value
during the year, $4,000.
Most Reverend Archbishop Munde-
lein signalized the silver jubilee ami
versary of the order last summer by
charging it with the establishment of
home for working girls in the loop
district" of Chicago. The obligation
was gladly accepted by the 10000
women Foresters of that city, who re-
garded the responsibility placed upon
their organization by the head of the
archdiocese as a singular honor, tri-
butte to their practical and jealous
Catholicity. Without delay the work
was begun, and already, in the district
known as one of the worst in the
world, where dangers Turk at every
step for the thousands of earning
women, the Women's Catholic Order
of Foresters Home for working girls
| is fourishing. In that retreat, which
is close to Marshall Fields the girls
can spend the noon hour in perfect Sc
Icurity. They. can get good wholesome
food for their luncheon at a cost some
what below that in their own homes.

Seminary Alumni Fund
CLASS OF 1910, OF CHICAGO
CATHEDRAL COLLEGE, SHOWS
PRACTICAL SPIRIT.

The seventeen young men who were
graduated from the Cathedral College,
at Chicago, six years ago, have organ
lied the Alumni Association of the
Diocesan Preparatory Seminary. Rev.
Joseph Burger, D. D., who brought
distinction to the class of 10 by the
brilliant record he had made abroad,
was chosen president of the Associa-
ton.
The Association volunteered to do
something of note for the Quigley
Preparatory Seminary into which
their old Alma Mater is to be soon
merged, and they accepted with en-
thusiasm the plan laid before them by
Rev. DR.. Purcell He asked them to
establish trust fund of $50,000.O0,
to be used for the furtherance of the
work to which their Alma Mater is
dedicated-the education of young
men for the priesthood. He showed
them how this trust-fund could be
realized at once by a small annual
outlay from each member of the
Association-an outlay which in thirty
years would not amount to the eX-
penses of the diocese for their edu-
cation.
To raise this fund each member vol
unteered to pay the premium upon
life insurance policy of 100000, pay
able to the Catholic Bishop of Chicago
for the benefit of the Quigley Prepare
tory Seminary. The face value of
these policies upon the lives of the
seventeen members of the Alumni
Association amounted to 100000.
To make the Fund greater and to
encourage the young men in their
noble work, the rector of the college
assumed the same obligation, and Mr..
A. J. Dooley, who is an enthusiastic
supporter of the college, gave like
amount to the fund, making the actual
trust $57, 100000. Before these policies
mature the fund shall have increased
to $75,O00.00 or more, according to
the earning power of money as years
go on.

rected to invest the sum OF $4,000,

turned over to the Bishop of Harris
burg to be held in trust for the church

The establishment of home for
jobless men is suggested by the terms
of the will of the late Rev. Joseph
Shee, of Cincinnati, who died two
weeks ago. The document provides

not feasible, the fund be held intact

it is to so to Father Dempsey's Lodg-
ing House, st. Louis, and if that place
is not in existence then, it goes to the
Bowery Mission, New York. One
eighth of the estate is given to his
sister, Sister Mary Carmela, of the

Has a pastor right to charge fol-
a baptismal certificate?

We know of no law which obliges
a priest to purchase certificates for
free distribution. He would have
difficulty in finding merchant who
would furnish them to him at the
same price. If enc seeks at a civil
court for copy of any record, fee
is readily presumed. This goes
toward meeting the cost of clerk hire
and other necessary expenses attach
ed to the office. The same rule
would seem applicable to the case
proposed.
