Father Cleary's Jubilee

Minneapolis club. State, city and vari
GUS civic and religious organizations
were represented at the affair. Three
hundred citizens, including represen
tatives of every phase of welfare and
social activity, attended the banquet
and the program which followed.
Governor Preus.
Dr. C. A. Prosser, POSTMASTER, in.
troduced Governor Preus, who said in
part:
Il have great deal of respect for
the man who chooses his work for the
way it affects his fellowmen, not for
the way it affects himself. Father
Cleary has never aspired to be any
thing great or outstanding for his own
glory, but he has always fought to do
and his parish. He has been helpful
as few men in the state of Minnesota;
he has devoted himself successfully
and energetically to the welfare Of the
laboring people, and he has had a
strong influence on them for the good
of the state. I doubt if many men in
Minnesota are loved as he is loved by
the people.
THE traditions that are best in this
country are those that hold that it is
necessary to have a church and Chris
,tianity. Christian character is neces-
sary to build up a great state, a great
nation The character which we re-
gard as paramount in Minnesota is
that of the Christian individual.
That character is exemplified in
this man we are here to honor. The
state of Minnesota pays it's respects
to that man and hopes that the eve
ming of his life may be blessed as the
fullness of his manhood has been
blessed"
Archbishop Dowlnq =
Archbishop Bowling in his address
declared that our cities must be built
not so much upon inherited tradition
or public profession, but upon what
each citizen contributes. Upon each
one of us is imposed the duty OF doing
his part, his particular share, to build
up that constructive thing that will
last after our monuments and build
ingS have fallen. In our cities the
clergy performs very large and use
full part The priest in any city is the
interpreter Of the laws of God, the
judge to chide and correct and guide
those who look to him for guidance.
He enters into thousand lives as
constructive influence. How his in
fiuence radiates in every hour is un-
noticed; but in that silent work he
brings his contribution to the COM
monwealth. Father Cleary is remem-
bered in every city in which he has
lived. He has built up the morals of
the community; he has built up the
respect for law; he has been center
of life; he has been a brave teacher;
he has dared to preach the unaccepted
thing, because he had the courage to
say it.
Mayor Leach.
Mayor Leach said:
"The city of Minneapolis has been
built in one generation, and | chal-
lenge the world to find its equal. In
it's building Father Cleary has had a
great part.
eff anybody could be absolutely cor
rect as a citizen, Father Cleary has
been. I wish to extend to him the
heartfelt greeting of the people of Min
nea polls. If they could wish this day
any thing else than it is, they would
wish it the celebration of the begin
ning of another 80 years of service for
Father Cleary instead of the jubilee
for the last so years"

Relatively few Catholics in America
are acquainted with the curious re-
ligious ceremony which takes place
each Pentecost Tuesday morning in
one of the most picturesque towns of
the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg. The
village of Echternach is situated on
the right bank of the Sure, a small
river which forms boundary line be-
tween Germany and Luxemburg.
Lying in yerdurous valley fianked
to the right and left with hills laden
with natures tall and gorgeous trees,
the village and the neighboring coun-
try have well earned the name of the
little Switzerland of Luxembourg.
St. WiIIibrord
Today the village numbers some
300 inhabitants, most of whom are
small farmers. The people speak a
tongue which is neither German nor
French, but language unique in it's
melodious cultural tones. A happier,
more contented people, and people
gifted with stronger faith than that
possessed by these Luxemburgers can
hardly be found even in Catholic Ire
land. Here in Echternach the faith
in the Church of God and in the eff
ficacy of Christian prayer is as of old.
Here many, many centuries ago (698)

OF the pagans, who lived in these re-
gions, through the apostolic zeal OF
st. Willibrord. 1t was he, an English
man by birth, an Irishman by culture
who succeeded in Transforming the
rhythmic religious procession of the
native pagans into a procession which
today is decidedly Catholic in spirit
and in motive. AS Christian Orpheus
Archbishop Willibrord of Echternach
stood, at the portals of his Benedictine
monastery and induced the dancing
natives to come to him and to learn
from his lips the doctrines of Christ
and His Church. His fifty years Oh
laboring amongst the natives was
crowned with such success that even
in his time the monastery was re
garded by all as the pearl of the
Benedictine order" From the time
of ST. Willibrord's death until the pres
ent year, with few unavoidable in
terruptions, the inhabitants of Echter
mach and the surrounding country
have continued the custom Of making
a yearly pilgrimage to the miraculous
tomb of their great apostle and saint

Dublin, Ireland. Reports that the
republican mutineers have given free
state forces 48 hours notice to sur
render Limerick police barracks today
intensified the situation in Limerick
and caused genuine anxiety to free
staters. These rumors lacked sub
sanitation but it was agreed that free
staters would stubbornly resist dis
possession and in event of an attack
the barracks would be vigorously de-
Tended. No breach of peace, however,
has been reported early today.
Lack of authentic news intensified
seriousness Of the real situation.
Free state forces grow stronger
daily and a further detachment of
Irish troops has arrived at Beggars
Bush barracks to undergo brief train
ing. A continuous stream of men is
passing through Dublin; after inten-
sive training they are sent to various
barracks or kept for guard duty around
public buildings in the capital.
Several armored cars and fleet of
motor transports that were bought
from departing British troops have
been turned over to the authorities at
Beggars Bush barracks.

Poisoning
Claims Victim
Years, Dies After Illness of
Several Days.

Death ended the suffering of Mrs.
Stanislaus Waitekaitys, aged 40 years,
the wife of Stanislaus Waitekaitys,
who expired on Monday evening at the
st. GATHERINGS hospital after an ill
ness of several days from septic pois-
oning. A week ago baby was born
to the deceased and the poisoning had
developed following the child's birth.
Not realizing the seriousness of the
illness, the family had called no physi-
clan until Monday when the patient
was hurried to the hospital for heroic
treatment. This came too late and she
was unable to rally.
The family is in pitiable condition
inasmuch as the father and two chill
dren are i'll at the home at $50 Racine
avenue. The baby is living and is be-
ing cared for at the st. GATHERINGS
hospital.
No arrangements have yet been
made for the funeral services.

painting contractor of Kenosha, died
early this morning at his home at 612

No One to Fill
Places on Farms
Kenosha County Farmers Are Forced
to Import Helpers from Other
Counties and States.

1t begins to look as though the farm
ers of Kenosha county will be obliged
to seek experienced farm help from
Chicago and other parts. The bulletin
board of the local employment bureau
has for several days carried calls for
eight single men and three married
couples for farm work without results,
An advertisement run three days in
the local press failed to bring any
applicants. In discussing the situation
Manager Shearer said:
Fully fifty persons visited the Office
this morning and among that number
there must have been several who have
performed the duties of the farm.
Nevertheless, not one manifested any
real interest in the waiting jobs. If
there is any latent help of this class
in the city, we would likesto have them
come to the front. Farmers who have
heard of the existing unemployment
are loathe to believe that there are no
idle farm hands in this locality. Dur
ing 1921 the bureau sent to the coun-
try nearly two hundred men and the
demand for this year promises to be
equally great" oei9aa

With the March winds in mad ca
reer of housekeeping and the wise
modern robins looking for quarters
that are equipped with sanitary bird
baths and adjacent to the worm mar
ket, all the political spring banners
have been swung out and are futter-
ing in the breeze. 1t appears that it
will be one of the gayest and yet most
serious of all spring elections, includ-
ing as it does the Inauguration Of a
new form of municipal government for
Kenosha and the sweeping out of the
old aldermanic system.
Monday, the last day for the filing of
petitions closed with twenty-eight in
the race for the position Of council
man-at-large. Of the original number
for whom petitions were taken out
some withdrew or failed to file their
petitions, including Henry B. Robin
son, who asked his friends to desist in
the campaign in his behalf.
Notable List of Names.
The list of twenty-eight names is a
strong one, including as it does per-
sons from many sections of the CITY
and representative of divers interests.
Indeed many voters will be put to it to
make their pick of five names from the
number. Merchants, factory execu-
tives, bankers, realtors, labor men and
even housewives have their representa-
ton on the list. Four aldermen: Fred
c. Pabst, Michael j. Donahue. George
Thomas and Dan Wachs are also in the
race. Lottie G.. Head is the only WON
an running, but her name on the list
is proof, if proof were needed, of the
earnestness with which the women
have entered the arena of municipal
affairs.
Only three are running for the Of
flee of justice of the peace, but in the
race for the Office of school commits
sioner two women are named, Mrs. Est
her Goldberg and Mrs Christine Clark.
The Total List for the Campaign.
Honest Joe" Newhouse tops the
list of those running for the Office Of
constable. It is noticeable that there
is no one running in opposition to him
either in seeking the Office of consta-
BILE of the sixth ward. In the re-dis-
tricting of the city, Newhouse, who
already holds constable star, found
