Attorney General Palmer had with

Governor Cox was within seven and

The convention then adjourned un-

BIG BALLOON BURNED

A: c. Townley, President of the

Have Commissioners
OF Daniels County
Failed to Function?

II is not the lntentlOn nor the DE.
sire of the writer of this article to
engage in a newspaper wrangle with
the editor of the Scobey Sentinel.
But the editorial in that paper three
weeks ago, relative to the new Board
of County Commissioners of Daniels
County, is so misleading that it is
only fair to the members of the board
that the people of the new county
should know the truth in the mat
ter, if, in fact the board "has failed
to function"
Those who are at all familiar with
the law governing the creation of
Daniels county, know that the county
is not fully created until 80 days from
the filing of a resolution by the
Board Of County Commissioners of
the old County after the vote has been
canvassed. During those 80 days the
board is given certain powers incl
dental towards the complete creation
cf the county. Naturally, all those
who are interested in Daniels Coun-
ty, want the county fully created as
soon as possible. And the new board
is prepared to make this assertion:
That it has not delayed the creation
of Daniels County one single day, but
has so far done everything which the
law requires them to do. After hav-
ing severely criticized the new board
for failing to function" and "letting
the affairs of the people of Daniels
County go to Hen," the editorial ,cf
the Sentinel has not one word Of cri-
ticism to pass on the action Of the
old board at Plentywood, who can
vassed the vote on the 18th and 14tf
of May and filed the resolution with
the Secretary of State on June 1st, in
spite of the fact that the law provides
that after canvass of the vote, 1.-THE
said board shall FORTHWITH cause
a copy of its said resolution, duly
certified, to be filed with the Secre-
tary of State, etc" a..
Let US review the work of the new
board SO far, and see if they are
guilty of the things which the Sem
tinel charges them with. Applica-
fore the Certificates of Election were
made of the bonding company to
approve the bonds as soon as possible
in order that there might be no de-
lay. AS SOOu dS DOHuS WSlc IlCIS We
got in touch with Judge Conner, tc
find out if he could approve of the
bonds the next day, and get them back
to Scobey on the afternoon train OF
the same day. Before the train ar.
rived at Scobey, the Board was il
session. The next train from Scobey
carried with it the resolution to the
Governor, that the board had quail
fed as required by law, and had or.
ganized. Within four days after the
members Of the Board had assume
the duties of their offices, they hat
applied for bonds, had their bonds AZ
proved, filed and returned, taker
their oats of Office, met and orga.
nized. and had mailed their resolu'
ton informing the Governor Of these
facts. Does this look az though ths
new hoard was letting the affairs oi

The editor Of the Sentinel quote,

shall have authority 70 provide fol

Not st. Joseph's lilies tail,

With the wealth Of snowy bells,

So at least the legend tells.
said the lilies, one day whispering
Earth has nothing half so fair,
Half so pure, as we white lilies,
And the spotless robes we wear
Every fragrant chalice lifted,
Holds an incense sweet and rare,
And within our hearts deep hidden,
Is perfume like prayer
So the lilies, low communing,
Spoke in arrogance and pride
When among them walked a maiden,
In her beauty glorified.
Glorified beyond all telling,
And the purity she shed,
From her gentle, modest glances,
Made each lily hide it's head.
1t was Mary, Jesus mother,
Who among the lilies went
Since that day, in silent homage,
Every lily's head is bent,

WHAT PRIESTS ARE GOOD FOR.

In Bordeaux, a merchant who was
compartment of a railway car, and was
making himself comfortable when a
factory laborer came in. They were
the only travellers in that part of the
coach. The train was speeding
through lonely prairie district when
at small station they caught sight
of priest, who seemed to be wait
ing for another train. The merchant
wishing to ridicule the priest, laughed
scornfully as he turned to. remark:
What is such a fellow good for?'
And then he commenced : a gentle
abuse Of religion, church and priests,
and added that it would really be well
to drive such people out OF the coun-
try. His companion listened quietly
while the train rushed onward. Sud-
denly the laborer in his working
jacket, man of gigantic size, rose,
and placing himself in threatening
attitude before his companion, said:
I'VE are now travelling through a lone
ly region, and the stations are far
apart. Surprising that I should want
your money and would murder you, l
could do so without hindrance.

LENDING TO GOD.


Some good people seem to think
that God is very poor security, and
that His promises are not as reliable
as those of some individuals Or the
nation.
We assume that such is the case be-
cause We are told that he who gives
in charity lends to God, and the lack
OF charity or generosity on the part Of
some Catholics must lead to the con-
clusion that they do not care to lend
God anything. Or at least very little.
We are told also that GOD will re-
turn not a certain percentage on the
amount We lend" Him, but many fold,
and yet there are Catholics who pre-
fer securities bearing four to five per
cent interest to the interest that God
has promised to His creditors.
We have heard for the past two
years what wonderful security Vic
tory Bonds and Liberty Loans offered.
How they were the best security in
the world, ETC. All that was true, no
doubt, but we do not want to confine
our investments to this world entirely.
We will be in eternity much longer
than in this world, and while we can
not take our earthly investments with
us, we can lay up treasures where not
only they cannot be lost or stolen, but
where they will continue to bear an in
finite interest for all eternity. That
ought to make spiritual investments
ideal. and not only the best invest.
ments in this world but. in the next as
well.
Investing by lending to God is the
only possible method Of taking our
money across the grave with us. And
it Furthermore has this advantage,
that it makes us no poorer, for,
strange as it may seem, those who
give literally generally have more
after they gave than before, and find
that they have not impoverished them
selves.
No man or woman is so we'll insured
even in this world as those who give
up everything for God. The religious
who, like st. Francis, does not claim
the ownership of the very gown he
wears, is much more likely to die in
peace and reasonable comfort than
many rich men who can sign checks
for thousands.
Let us remember, then, to be as
generous with God as we are with our
fellows or the state in lending, and
when we balance our accounts at the
end of our life we shall find that of
all those to whom we lent, God was
by far the most liberal and reliable
debtor

UNGALLANT MEN.

A writer in the Syracuse Catholic
Sun chides young men for their lack
of courtesy toward girls whom they
meet at choir rehearsals and other
parish gatherings. Our contemporary
says:
We fear that our young men are
becoming too ungallant and the pos
Sible unftness of the times may in
fluence them to withdraw from escort
ing the young women to church now
and then. Recently the young women
of a certain Catholic, Church eX-
changed condolences and resolved that
they would give UP choir practice, re.
hearsals, sodality meetings, etc, I'M,
less they had escort over lonesome
streets. The girls are right Why
are these young men SO careless of
our womankind :? The city streets are
not as safe as they. look, and it very;
often happens that the police are
asked to look for missing girls. Caus-
tic remarks are made that a good
girl is always safe. That is false
It is the loose, careless girl who is
led astray, but where girls are spirit
ID away, leaving nothing but blank
ness, they are more often than not
'9irls of the very best and noblest.
We have heard girls declare they
would not venture over certain streets
again, but young blood is restless and
when clubs are meeting it is sad to
have to drop out, more especially
from the Church societies. And
does it not look queer for all the
young men hanging about for last
word with the jolly priest while the
girls go out ashamed to be SO slight
ed, to scurry home with their hearts
beating furiously and sadly wonder
ing what is the reason the boys treat
them so uncavalierly, and no doubtful
boys are chuckling, thinking how they
are fooling some $swould-be-match-mak-
ing priests. Wake up to reason, young
men; your own sisters may need safe
escort some time $50.

UNITY IN THE FAMILY CIRCLE.

What must we do to be happy? The
thing is not hard. Much knowledge is
not necessary, nor much talent, but
only real good will to do ones duty.
Happiness as far as it can exist here
below consists in peace, in the JOY OF
good conscience. Our conscience
will be joyful and peaceful if We OBJ
serve the laws of God. If our con-
science is clear, our life will a1e happy.
The regular observance Of our re-
ligious duties is the most potent fac
tor in making our home life happy.
Religion must, above all else, per-
meate our daily lives. SIS
In the home, the spirit of unity and
harmony must also prevail. Let the
members of the household be affec-
tionate toward one another having
only one heart and one soul, not say

anyone of them. "a, - ~ Gt>:.&

IN THE HOLLOW OF HIS HAND

There were three things on which
the people of Avondale prided them
selves-their aristocratic traditions,
their staunch Presbyterianism and
their intense and loud-voiced detesta-
ton of all that savored of Rome. So,
twenty years ago, when the form of
insanity known as A. P. A.-ism swept
over the country, nowhere in the land
was it welcomed more gladly than
among them. What, then, was their

agitation, it became known that the

dale to care for the spiritual needs of
some hundreds of poor Irishmen and
their families who had focked into
the place upon the, opening of foun-
dry two years before. That one had
visited the town twice a month had
been bad enough, this was intolerabie:
The house which he rented to serve,
temporariEg,.. as z home, school and
chapel, at once. became an object sof
hatred, and the Irish newcomers,
even morA than before, were account
ed undesirable Citizens "
Indignation, intense and wholly
righteous, had risen to fever heat by
the time Father Huntington made his
appearance in Avonda1e, a little, gen
tie, kindly old man, with face like
a benediction His flock received
him with joy, the better-bred among
the Protestants with studied uncon-
Germ, but the uncouth .openly jeered
him, whenever they were certain that
nos strong listed Irishman was near
enough to overhear them. 3'ts'| y
1T was only a few days after his ar
rival that Father Huntington received
his first sick call, Mr.. Kenney, a ma
chinist, old and poor and none too
good, was dying. It. was neighbor
of his, a woman, who brought the
message; a socfable soul she was, and
chatted with Father Huntington for
some minutes before and more min
