Bishop Wehrle Favors
Outdoor Sunday Games
Catholic Church is Not Opposed to
Wholesome Recreation on Sunday
Says Bishop of Bismarck

Recently the Bismarck Tribune
stated that the opposition to re-
peallng some Of the features Of the
old Sunday closing blue law"
was the "Clergys'' Protest. This
article brought reply from Bishop
Wehrle, in which he states very
plainly that the Catholic church is
not opposed to wholesome pleasures
and recreation on Sunday, and that
he is not in favor of enforcing obso.
lete Sunday laws handed down
from the dark age of Puritanism;
Bishop Wehrle's letter follows:
Editor Bismarck Tribune--I wish
to state very plainly that | have
nothing to do with 1.-THE Clergy's $
Protest" regarding some changes OF
the present Sunday laws. That
Protest" should correctly Dc call
ed Some Clergymen's Protest, :"
but not N'The Clergys' Protest +"
According to Christian principles,
held by the Catholic church Sunday
is not only II day devoted to rest
and religious service, but also n dov
of lawful pleasures and rccrcation
BY lawful pleasures | mean pleas
ures not contrary to the laws
OF God. Men, and especially
young men, need some rec
reation on Sunday. Having filled
their religious duties, they have a
right to enjoy themselves in any
way which is not a hard servile
work. We should rather encourage
than oppose entertainments which
bring the people out into the open
air and offer to them pure-minded
and innocent pleasure. I can.
therefore, from the religious stand
point, not see any reasonable OBJ
lection to Sunday baseball, Or even
to hunting, provided those who en-.
JOY themselves have satisfied their
religious duties. l fear that the
clergymen who work for the en-
forcement Of Puritan Sunday laws
will thereby rather injure the cause
OF religion than foster it.-Vincent

County Seat Removal
Law Exempts Ft. Yates
New County Seat Removal Law Doss
Not Apply to County Seats Located
on Any Navisable River

Senate Bill 81, providing for re-
moval of county seats not located
on railroads, has passed both
branches Of the Legislature and will
become law with the governors
signature.
This bill, which affects county
seats not located on railroad Or
|navigable stream, was introduced
especially for the benefit of Dunn
county. Since the advent Of rail-
roads in Dunn county, Dunn Gen.
ter and Kildeer have sprung up,
and at both the 1914 and 1916
elections Kildeer and Dunn Center
tried to get the county seat removed
from Manning, an inland town.
On account of the two-third major
ity vote required under the old law
governing county seat removals,
Manning has retained the county
seat. At the last election the vote
resulted as follows: Dunn Center,
SOL; Manning, 538; Kildeer, 331,
and Manning retained the county
seat.
Under the provisions Of this new
law. a primary election must be
held in which all but two candidate
towns will be eliminated from the
race. The two towns polling the
highest number Of votes at the pri-
maries will be candidates against
each other at the fall election when
final decision will be made, and the
county seat placed at the point re-
ceiving the largest number of votes.
This new law will not affect Sioux
county, as Fort Yates, the county
seat, is located on the Missouri
river. navigable stream. and any
county seat removal election held
in Sioux county during the next
two years will be under the old law,
and a two:third majority vote re.
quired to carry county seat re-
moval.

Continuing before the Senate Com
mittee on Manufactures yesterday
Claus H. Spreckels, president Of the
Federal Sugar Refining Company,
brought his testimony to focus
against what some have considered
the weakest point in the system OF
the National Food Administration.
He condemned the control OF the
necessaries OF life by men who were
Interested In manufacturing or trad
ing in them. Food administrators, he
said, should be like Caesars wife
above suspicion"
As he doubted in his own case
that he could be dIsinterested as a
manufacturer of refined sugar in
passing on his own interests and
those of his rivals, "co-ordinated'
with those of the public, he had
sought to evade responsibility for
administering" sugar as well as re-
fning 1t. When invited by Mr..
George NJ. Rolph to a conference on
the price of molasses and sirups
and asked to accept the chairman
ship Of a committee for administer
ing such prices, he had written Mr..
RoIph afterward, that on reflection
he doubted his competency. at 10

and Judge myself" be said
After thus reaching for the solar
II Il Ill NhA CRnaknOf T0n1laR-
a-Year, patriotic experts Of the coun-
try, Mr.. Spreckels devoted his testi-
mony to details Of price-nxing. In
answer to questions, he said that
sugar consumers had no representa-
tive at price-fixing conferences.
Against the price fixed for raw sugar
he had registered his own unalter-
able opposition" in writing, on the
ground that it was too high.
In some detail he outlined price
fixing for Cuban sugar as an Incl
dent of diplomatic negotiation be-
tween the Cuban government and
the United States, with the purchase
of the entire Cuban crop in view at
a fixed price, which would also fix
the price of Louisiana sugar, Of beet
sugar, and finally of refined sugar,
as bought by the public. He himself
had held that it was not to the ad-
vantage Of the public to purchase
the entire Cuban crop, but rather
to contract for it as needed. He had
been informed that the object of food
control was mot directed to the re-
duction of prices exclusively" but to
securing a fair profit
As part of the plan of food control
he outlined, prices were to be Co
ordinated" so that all would bear a
fixed relation to each other. Thus,
wheat at 81 a bushel would "co-or-
dinate" with sugar at 10 cents. I'm
der such a system Though the wit
ness did not so comment), the rise in
one staple article, measuring the
rest, would carry up all prices like
clockwork." Mr.. Spreckels gave this
