HoNORING OUR HEROES.

Tt was a beautiful thought of
the Daughters Of the American
Revolution to originate the idea of
a monument to the heroes Of Ram
sey County who gave their lives
for their country in the world
war. Soldiers, sailors, marines
and nurses will be remembered
by a grateful citizenry. The
memorial will take the form of a
graceful shaft surmounted by a
cross, the symbol of redemption
fitting testimonial to those who
paid the price of our redemption
from the death Of defeat.
This monument will stand in
Shadow Falls Park at the foot of
Summit avenue, where it will
make it's appeal to the countless
thousands who yearly pass that
delightful spot. It is expected
that the whole memorial will be
in place by October 1, when a
solemn dedication will be held.
Shafts and monoliths as remind
ers of great victories were COM
mon in ancient times. The obelisks
of Egypt are a splendid example /;
while Greece and Rome seemed to
revel in this particular form of
national pride. With the coming
Of Christianity the cross blazoned
forth from these symbols Of tri-
umph, and the custom has existed
and prevailed down to the present
day.
The model Of this Ramsey mem
orial is to be seen in the window
Of the Holmes and Olson store.
It is the purpose of the organizers
Of the testimonial to encourage
many small donations rather than
few large ones, in order that this
pledge of a peoples gratitude
may be widely representative.

EXERCISES OF DEVOTION.

One of the peculiar beauties of
the Catholic Church is to be found
in the great variety of devotions
which she offers to her children.
In the first place, she sets before
them the grand essentials of re-
ligiOn: dogmas, mysteries of
faith, sacraments. Upon these
solid foundations does she rear
the edifice of faith, comely, rea-
sonable and permanent. Fortified
in the strength flowing from this
source, the practical Catholic is
hidden 60 forth and save his soul.
No angle or circumstance of life
is left unguarded; adequate means
are given him to cope with every
danger, every emergency and
every need of existence.
At the same time this edifice is
not bare fortress. 1t is stately
and imposing; but it is also
adorned and embellished and set
off with all the ornaments that
make it a veritable tower of
ivory, a house Of gold and the
ark Of the covenant. The shields
Of strong men hang from it's
towers; but the graceful spires
that leap into the air, the glinting
rays Of light that play about it's
battlements, and the fragrant gar
dens that are found within the
enclosure beyond the moat and
portcullis, all tell of an artistry
that reflects love of beauty.
Now, the devotions of the
Church are precisely these adorn-
ments. They flow naturally from
the fountains of the sacraments
and the simplicity, virility and life
of faith. They take form in all
those practices of piety so common
among the faithful: novenas,
prayers to ones patron, the use
of blessed candles, of holy water,
sacred images, relies, suffrages for
the suffering souls, indulgences,
offerings for Gods poor, Stations
of the Cross, and countless other
loved forms of individual piety.
A Catholic who prizes his faith
at it's full value will seek to ben
eft by these riches placed at his
disposal by a loving Mother. He
will profit to a great extent by
the opportunities afforded him to
draw closer to God. Never will
he make these devotions the chief
aim of his religion; but while
clinging to the sturdy oak of faith,
he will also from time to time
avail himself of the fruit hanging
thereon, and he will admire the
luxuriant growth of limb and
branch and spreading leaf.

An exceedingly large per cent
of our boys and girls are hellward
bound today because Of paternal
neglect and Indifference, says an
Indiana editor. The great trouble
is that the average parent, either
through weakness, mistaken kind
ness, or a disinclination to take
from his own leisure the time
necessary to discipline his chill
dren, attempts to pass this obliga-
ton on to others. He looks to the
school teachers and their public or
quasi-public directors of juvenile
activities to do that which can be
done properly only by himself.
The natural consequence is that it
isn't done at all.

SUNDAY AUCTION SALES

The Labor Committee of the Paris
Chamber of Deputies has approved
the report of the Duke Of Dalmatia in
favor of the adoption of the bill pre-
sented by Able Lemire on the sub
ject of Sunday auction sales.
Despite the legal institution of Sun
day as day of rest, it is the custom
in some rural districts to hold auc-
ton sales on Sunday because 1t is the
one day when the farmers are not at
work in the fields. 1t has been proved,
however, that these sales deprive
many notaries, clerks, etc., of their
Sunday rest. and the bill Of Able Le-
mire proposes to abolish all auction
sales on Sunday.

in the Birmingham Age Herald,

A local Methodist has called our
attention to a movement in the
Methodist Episcopal Church at
the present time that is certainly
surprising, says the Denver Reg

ministers of that denomination
into a central fund and to divide
it up, so that all can live in more
or less poverty. And the reason
for this is to make them initiate

Developing American Opera.

The Caruso American Memorial foundation,
which is designed to assist talented and deserv-
ing young persons who are unable TO pay for
a musical education, has been created by
friends and admirers of the great tenor, Enrico
Caruso The lamented tenor, during his life,
did much to help struggling musicians to the
realization of their ambition, and this endow
ment is a fitting monument to his memory.
When we see Chicago and New York raising
immense guarantee funds to continue their
fine operate organizations which have done
much to raise the standard of artistic taste
and contributed so much to the pleasure of the
music lovers of the country, and consider this
fact, together with the creation of the Caruso
Memorial foundation, the connection is newt
able in our minds between the policy of buying
our opera and that of developing and produc-
ing it for ourselves. Even though it be true
that opera produced in the great metropoli-
tan centers is worth all it costs, and more, yet
the fact remains that paying too much
for it and that the cost is SC high as to make it
prohibitive for the smaller cities In the pres
ent system there is too much waste of money
that could be turned to better use in distribut-
ing the benefits. What we need in this country
is a big, broad organization financed to handle
the problem of producing standard opera
throughout the country and also of developing
singers and musicians who can be used in these
productions to cut down some of the expense
of exploiting famous stars at fabulous prices
The Caruso American Memorial foundation
presents one of the ways of going to work to
solve this problem. The building up of Ameri-
can opera must be done by the American
people if it is to be successful

A Uniform Memorial Day.

The hope Of the American Legion is for a
uniform Memorial day, one day when the people
north, south, east and west will pause TO honor
their dead. The tendency toward uniform
Memorial day has been growing since the late
war and in many communities the ceremonies
have been turned over to the World war vet
terans. Memorial day was first observed in the
south and as the flowers bloom earlier it is the
custom in many southern states to decorate the
graves on April 26. In the north May 80 has
been set aside. The American Legion, COM
posed of sons OF the north and south, has Of
ficially adopted May 80 as Memorial day, and
for three years that date mas been observed on
both sides of the Mason and Dixon line.
The inter-alIed vetreans' federation, COM
posed of soldier organizations in France, Eng
land, Canada, Italy and other formerly allied
nations, has adopted May 80 as the date for the
observance of rites for the dead This is max
ing of what was once an American holiday an
international holiday. This year American
Legion posts and organizati tons of the allied
veterans will observe Memorial day in every
country of the world where there are soldier
graves. AS it did last year and the year before,
the American Legion will decorate and hold
appropriate exercises over the grave of every
American who sleeps on foreign soil. Legion
posts in France, Belgium, England, Poland and
Turkey will visit battlefelds and cemeteries.

Finest Thing In the World.

Life is perhaps the most fluid, thing in the
world. 1t is continually being born and dying
Yet it is life whole that is the most stable
characteristic of the planet Girls and boys

1t is this thought that underlies the religions
of the east. The gist of Buddhism is that no
mind should love material things. 1t teaches
that the universe is illusion, that life is but
a monfentary halt upon infinite journey and
that all attachment to persons, to places or
to things must be fraught with sorrow
This faith does not produce pessimism and
despair. On the contrary it gives capacity to
bear all things bravely, and gives to the jap
anese and Chinese a patience which the west

that was perceived by the old Greek philoso-

Harding and the Leviathan.

President Harding has done a graceful
thing in declining to have the Leviathan re-
christened in his honor. 1t is in line with the
feeling he has always shown for the sensibili-
ties of our men who saw service in France. One
hundred thousand young Americans sailed in
this queen of transports and almost equal
number returned In countless homes through
out the land Leviathan is a familiar name-a
name as Mr.. Harding says, that has an over
towering sentiment. The ship is an institu-
ton and a monument, national symbol. 1t is,
in fact, more than that. The enemy had calcu-
lated closely how long it would take to train
and transport an adequate American army.
How nearly right the calculation the world
now knows
Few could have forseen the engineering skill
and energy that restored the disabled German
ships in service What seemed clear to the
German high command was no less vivid in the
apprehension of England and France, Those
were dark days, days that in times of doubt
it will always seem good to remember. The
Leviathan, and all that she stands for is a
witness to the solidarity of western nations in
the cause of liberty. Not the least engaging
passage in Mr.. Hardings letter is his apprecia-
ton of the intended honor. He says it was
a fine compliment and he admitted finding the
thought most agreeable. But his maturer judg-
ment confirmed a reluctance he had felt from
the start. He asked that the compliment be
turned into an acceptance Of his suggestion
that the Leviathan remain the Leviathan. To
this the whole country will say Amen.

Too Much Government.

The constant tendency to increase the scope
OF governmental activity is one of our biggest
national burdents. In our federal government,
for instance, We constantly creating new
boards, commissions. bureaus and committees
to interfere with the business, the morals or the
habits of the people, to regulate things that
are essentially private affairs Our national
government is becoming afflicted with bureau
cracy and its multiplication Of pay roll func-
tionaries supported at the expense of the pro-
ducers of the country to carry out the whims
of fantastic agitators. They are getting so
numerous that they step on each others toes.
The government is not only regulating bust
ness and habits and morals and taxing every
bodys to pay for ii, but we are so restricting
business that private enterprise no longer
function freely. 1t will do us small good to
scrap our navy and cut our army to an ineffi-
cieut police shadow If we are to continue per-
hitting government activities to encreach upon
the vocations of individual citizens, restrict
ng their productive activity, regulating their
business conduct, supervising their morals and
functioning according to the notions OF a mar
row visioned and unproductive but vociferous
