.reiudice AGAINST dogmatism in relig-
on has resulted in certain laXlty IN
ethics. Children as we'll as adults are
,.0t content with the Thou shalt not,
hey demand the reason for the law as
we'll as the law itself. Men and Wom-
II are questioning the marriage laws
and seeking a reasonable basis Tor
moral conduct, and even children do
Got accept with the reverence that is
t. due the morality that has been con-
lynr orr
aycn from well-todo families who have
never learned the Ten Command
mCnts. and who remain ignorant OF
rary simple Bible stories. Our unfor-
nnate religious differences continue
% exclude compulsory religious in
strnction from the schools, but there
Is every reason in view OF the declln-
ing moral instruction in the homes

pconle to lay firm in the minds of the
children those moral principles which
IRE revered alike by religion and rea-

10 children that there is a reason for

pretended also by the voice OF rea-

All this surely shows the wisdom OF
the Catholic Church in insisting on
schools where the children would be
taught the principles of religion and
morality If the children do not take
advantage of these privileges, and if
some of them in after life prove un-
yorthy of their training, at least the
Ehurch can hold herself blameless, as
she has done her best for them. But
here is no doubt that the morality
md religion taught in our Catholic
sChools are of immense benefit to the
Uitpils in after life. The Catholic
Church would be exceedingly glad if

.gcther and teach Christian religion
and Christian morality in the public
schools. There is nothing to prevent

Modern Factory Brings
Northwest Into Close
Touch with Mill City.

In an interview yesterday Harvey
A. Wood, manager Of The Minneapo-
lis Threshing Machine Co., said that
few people realize that in the city
Of Minneapolis there is situated the
vast manufacturing plant Of the
above company. employing over L.
200 people and occupying spacious
buildings and ground area in the
heart of the great northwest.

cess Of a nights ride. one Of the best
equipped shops in the country with
the latest up-to-dAtermachinery driv-
en- by electric power exclusively turn
ing u s gasoline engines per day
and s separators in the same space

Long years Of business has taught
that nothing but the newest equip
ment and most convenient quarters
can produce the duality Of work that
musti 60 into the Minneapolis pro-
ducts. For, that reason f1reproof pat
tern rooms have been built; perfectly
lighted foundries and machine shops;
a separate erection rom for engines
and another for separators; storage
sheds with a capacity Of 400 to 500
machines. all equipped with modern
sprinkler systems to protect against
fire.
Grand Forks is the proud home Of
one OF the large branches Of this
great industry whose service to the
public has always been the constant
care of the manager. The location of
the company impresses this feature
on every user of The Minneapolis
Line. Get theorder out the same

thus tits that Minneapolis owners and
