Wilson, il is remembered, politely but

Inst,ce Oyerawed by Partisanship.

Governor Townsend has reprcved
for two weeks the young Negro who va
10 have been hanged AZ the workhcuse: to
dav. following convection and sentence
on the horrible crime Of crlminally assault
inc an elderly white woman OF Blackblrd
hundred. This will be generally accepted
70 mean he Will be spared by
continued clemency, and thus live IN the
hone Of eventually escaping the galiows,
Is Lem Price. Negro, the brutal murderer
Of a policeman in this city, escaped.
The influences that demanded this
,nUjse and dangerous interference with
Justice are easily conceived. Had the day
of execution been a week later 10 doubt
the convict would have been hanged
But it would not do to have him executed
q few davs before election, and certain
nar,isan influences demanded that his
life be spared.
Years ago, another Negro who com
nitted this horrid and repulsive crime IN
Blackbird hundred escaped the gallows
through the insidious influence Of parti-
san Republican manipulation carried into
the yerv halls Of justice Now, the white
women of Blackbird hundred apparently
are helpless in the face Of such impending
outrages.
Thus, we see that Republican parti-
sapship in Delaware operates to yet aside
the mandates Of the law, the righteous
verdicts of iuries, the solemn sentences Of
courts, the protection Of women against
dastardIv criminal outrage.

New York. Jan. 9.-Approximately
$4,000 former soldiers, sailors and
marines were placed in jobs through
out the country during the year 1919
by the nationwide employment bureaus
which the knights of Columbus estab-
iished Immediately after the demobili-
zation of the A. E. F., and home troops
commenced The work of helping the
veterans to get back to jobs was car
ried on in all the large cities where
the Knights established employment
huts and solicited jobs for the men.
The lowest amount of wages which
any one of the $4,000 positions paid
was SIS per week with high average
of $40. The number of jobs secured
represent a recapitulation showing a
weekly payroll expenditure of $780,
100000. All sorts of novel schemes

PATIENCE.

Sometimes 1t is easier to bear pa
tiently great deal of trouble or bodily
suffering than it is to preseht calm
exterior when some bothersome little
thing tries our equanimity. We make
a more earnest effort to bear q big
thing, and the knowledge that our
friends are sympathetic and anxious
to be Of service to us buoys us up and
helps US greatly. Our smaller battles
are fought with no help from our
friends. They are hardly worth men,
ttoning or recording, yet 1t is these
little troublesome things that make up
a great part Of our lives. In learning
to conquer them and in meeting hard
ships without complaint, we learn our
best lessons in patience. Though
patience be tired mare, yet she will
plod," and our everyday lives con.
vince US Of the truth Of that saying.

find jobs for the men. One of them
involved the canvassing of employers
by the soldiers themselves. The men

ness men were paid four dollars per
day and had the privilege of accepting
any good opportunity which presented
itself. In the smaller towns and cities
the work of job-hunting was done by
the local councils of the order.
New York City took the honors in
employing discharged soldiers, making
room for 24,5OO men within q period
of seven months. Other cities which
did good work were: Boston, Pitts

dence, Jersey City, Baltimore, Bangor,
Bridgeport, Richmond, Schenectady,

HAS MADE A GOOD RECORD.

. Probably no woman in Duluth can
claim record for actual "uplift" work
such as that held by Mrs. Mary Con-
nelly, matron at police headquarters.
OF the hundreds of cases that have
come under her attention during her
II years of service, large numbers of
young women have profited through
Mrs. Connelly's motherly advice given
at the station. "Say, please keep her
name out, it will hurt her and her
family" is one Of her favorite re-.
quests to reporters. IF you must use
a name use that of Mary Connolly:
nobody know her." she will add.
Mrs. Connelly's duties call her to the
station only when arrests of women
take place whether that be during day
or night, and in police court only when
women are brought up for trial.

FILE ANOTHER PETITION.
A new petition for the removal of
Sheriff John Gowan of Big Stone coun-
ty for alleged nonfeasance or NAL.
feasance in connection with the depor-
tatton of Ernest Lundeen, former Min
neapolis congressman, November II,
from Ortonville, when he attempted to
speak against the League Of Nations,
was presented to Governor Burnquist
Monday, although the governor has yet
to announce q decision on the first
custer proceedings against the sheriff.
New affldavits made public Monday
in the case, the governor said, admit
that Sheriff Gowan was not at the sta
tion when Lundeen was locked in a
refrigerator car on an outgoing freight
train that carried him to Appleton, and
to that extent contradicted Lundeen's
testimony.
The custer petition is signed by Fred
Schultz of Big Stone county and was
filed by A. w. Uhl, Minneapolis attor'
ney for Lundeen at the hearing on the
petition by the state manager Of the
World War Veterans for the sherift's

If you sum 1t all up, you will surely

everybody except ourselves. We are
mazed that some member of the
household is inconsiderate enough to

'elfishness has on most of us! We

high altar, which will be surrounded
by Is small chapels in honor of the
Is mysteries of the rosary. There will
be 20 altars, not counting the affairs in
the spacious crypt beneath the sanctu.
ary. This crypt holding 1000 persons,
will be finished in early RomanesQue
style. The National Shrine will arise
on an attractive site, where the univer.
sity grounds adjoin the National Sol
diers' Home. The facade rises about
500 feet from the university gates;
the church will be thus set in it's own
park.
The architects are Maginnis &
Walsh, of Boston, with whom is asso-
ciated Frederick v. Murphy, professor
of architecture at the Catholic Univer-
sity. Their designs for the church
have been prepared after careful study
of the best masterpieces of the Ro.
manesQue style, and in conjunction
with the landscape architect, Frede.
rick Olmstead, of Boston. These de.
signs were exhibited at the confer
ence of the American hierarchy in
September. The cost of the church is
estimated at about $5,000,OOO. The
Pope has donated full size mosaic OF
Murille's Immaculate Conception as a
gift to the high altar of the church.
and the Catholic clergy of the United
States are associating themselves
with him in erecting the altar.
The Trustees of the University
comprising 20 archbishops and bishops
and 10 laymen-have confided the
work of the National Shrine to com
mittee of their members, of which
Archbishop Dougherty, of Philadelphia
is chairman. The other members are
Bishop Canevin, of Pittsburgh; Bishop
Shahan, of the Catholic University;
Walter George Smith and James J
Ryan, of Philadelphia. 1t is proposed
to begin the work next May, with 9
magnificent ceremony. A pilgrimage
of Catholics will converge from al
parts Of the United States. Cardina
Gibbons will preside. There will also
be representatives of the great shrines
of the Virgin, both in South Americs
