Sank Centre Pastor Makes
Fine Address at St. Cloud
Rev. John A. Fearon Was Big Fea-
ture of Child Welfare Conference
90 Last Week

At the meeting of the first Re-
gional Conference of the Child We'll
fare Board, held at st. Cloud, the
latter part of last week, Rev. Father
John A. Fearon, pastor of Our Lady
of the Angels Catholic church, Sank
centre, delivered the principal adj
dress. The many Sank Centre
friends of Rev. Fearon will be pleased
to know that his talk was the big
feature of the conference. Father
Fearon said in part:
"The most important part of a
child's education should be in moral
ity and in religion. Mere book learn
ing does not make for happiness.
Parents must care for the moral and
spiritual training of the child. 1t is
true that as nation we have had no
success in teaching morals. Our
schools for delinquents are crowded
to the doors. Children are breaking
away from all parental control. Our
prisons are filled to overfowing." In
outlining the causes of crime and dis
cussing each cause, Father Fearon
spoke at length on parental incom-
potency, ignorance and indifference.
20 Parents do not know nowadays
where their children are, or what they
are doing. The modern mother be-
lieves her daughter can do no harm.
Every mother thinks her gosling is
a swan. Today we play fast and
little practical religion. On Sunday
we put our religion on like a cloak
and through the week throw it off.
Divorce is prevalent and very COM
mon. Old family life is 'out of
vogue The mother is not at home,
but at club or cards. Father is
never at home either. Then parents
are surprised. when the hddies get in
to mischief. What else could they get
into? Next to love, comes obedience.
A lawless, ungovernable child is a
nuisance. Children ought to have
large play grounds, right kind of ex-
ercise to keep the kiddies out of
trouble.
"We should have censored movies.
There is too much "sex stuff" too
much ''eternal sex triangle" Sex
training should be at the mothers
knee not in the movies. We need a
curfew, something to keep children
off the streets after nine o'clock. Ev-
cry town over 1000 in population,
should have one woman, whose bust
ness it is to keep constant eye on

faith, or who have rendered signal
service in the cause of Christian
charity are singled out for the Pom
tifical favor. The Papal brief of APP
pointment recites Bishop Busch's
"great zeal for the religious welfare
of his flock, his constant solicitude
for the spread of Christ's kingdom in
the hearts of men, and his unceasing
endeavor to make the charity of the
gentle Savior prevail everywhere"
GAIL those who are acquainted with
the activities of Bishop Busch since
his arrival in our midst" said Rev.
Charles Gruenenwald, rector of the
Cathedral, "rejoice at the recognition
and approval bestowed upon his eff
forts. They all realize that the hon
ors conferred not only are well merit
ed, but that they also shed lustre up
on all within this territory and give
our comparatively small city and do
cese of St. Cloud large place on
the map of the Christian world. We
offer our hearty congratulations to
the Right Rev. recipient upon his new
dignity and our thanks to the Holy
Father for the bestowal thereof. -

YOUNG MAN BADLY
MANGLED BY TRAIN
LEOPARD FINK HOME SCHOOL
EMPLOYEE LOSES HIS
RIGHT ARM
RECOVERY Is EXPECTED
STRUCK BY NORTHERN PACIFIC
PASSENGER THIS THURS
DAY MORNING

Leopold Fink, a farm employee at
the Home School for Girls, had a
very narrow escape from instant
death about 1880 this Thursday
morning when the east bound North
ern Pacific passenger train collided
with a Fordson tractor which the
young man was driving, at the Paul
son school house three miles north
east of Sank Centre. 81 =
AS near as the Herald has been
able to ascertain, the only person
who saw the accident was E. Rache,
a farmer living northeast of town
near the Paulson place. He was
working in his field about thirty rods
away from where the accident occur
red. He was watching the train and
saw the tractor come on to the cross
ing, and realized that something was
going to happen. Before he could
unhitch his team and arrive on the
scene the collision had taken place.
The Paulson farm is occupied by
Mike Henry and is operated by the
State Home School. The young man
was bringing the tractor from the
Paulson farm back to the home farm,
and the front of the tractor was
about half way across the track
when it was struck by the on coming
train. The impact turned the trac-
tor completely around and threw
Fink onto the cow catcher of the
engine, badly bruising and lacerat-
ing his right arm, and cutting him
in other places about the head and
body.
He was able to walk to the Paul
son farm and DR.. Dubois was hastily
summoned and brought the young
man to the Home School Hospital
where the Drs. Dubois found it nee
essary to amputate his right arm
above his elbow.
At this writing at 200 P. M,
Thursday, the indications are that
the young man will recover unless I'M
looked for complications arise.
Mr.. Fink is about % years Of age
and has been employed at the Home
School as a farm laborer since April
18th this year. His home is at Eden
Valley, MINI.
The crossing where the accident oc-
Cured is an extremely dangerous
one, especially crossing the track
towards the south with a train trav-
cling east, as there is a nasty curve
right at the crossing and the train
cannot be seen until it is almost on
top of one.

JOBBERS' SPECIAL
STOPS HERE MONDAY
ONE HUNDRED MINNEAPOLIS
BUSINESS MEN TO SPEND
HOUR IN CITY
HAVE A SPLENDID BAND
TRAIN ARRIVES SHORTLY BE-
FORE 1:OO P. M.-SOUVENIRS,
FOR KIDDIES

According to G. w. Irwin, chair
man of the Trade Tour Committee of
the Minneapolis Civic & Commerce
Association, arrangements are now
complete for the Trade Tour which
will visit seventy-nine communities in
northern Minnesota during the week
of May FL. More than one hundred
business men, representing practic-
ally every line of business in Mime
apolis, will be on the train. "Souven-
irs are being packed up and men
are grueling themselves for a week
of constant activity" said Mr.. Irwin.
"While some people may look upon
the Trade Tour as a pleasure trip for
these men, it would only be necessary
for one of them to become an active
participant to realize that there is
hard work involved. However, the
pleasure of meeting people whom we
seldom see yet with whom we have
constant business relations more than
offsets any disagreeable feature. We
look forward to meeting these people
and getting their point of view and
to discuss with them the problems
which the northwest faces"
The Trade Tour train this year
consists of thirteen cars-a baggage
car for personal baggage, and supplies
of souveniers, dining and sleeping
cars. All meals are served while the
train is moving from town to town
and members of the party. sleep on
the train at night. 1t is practically a
hotel on wheels.
One of the chief items of interest
on the Trade Tour train is Jalma's
Band, formerly the 151st. Field Artil-
lery Band. This organization accom-
panied the regiment on all of its cam
paigns in France and of the men
which Captain Jalma will have with
him this year more than half are vet
Grams of the 151st Field Artillery
Band, and practically all of the others
saw service in the army or navy
musical organizations.
There will be special souvenirs for
the children and it is hoped that they
will be able to come down town dur
ing the visit of the Minneapolis
people and hear the band play. The
Trade Tour will arrive here over the
Great Northern May FL at 12:45
and will leave at 1 :25 Pm.
The following is the itinery for

The elevation of Governor J. A. O..
Preus to the United States Senate to
fill the unexpired term of the late
Knute Nelson, has evidently struck
snag.
For the first ten days following
the death of Mr.. Nelson, the Mime
apolis Journal and Tribune political
writers were loud in their claims Of
spontaneous demand that came up
from the State as whole that Mr..
Preus should elevate himself to the
Senate. At one time 1t appeared as
though enough sentiment had been
manufactured to lull the great major
ity of the common people of the
State into the belief that the people
as a whole were clamoring for this
unusual procedure on the part of the
Governor. Clippings from newspapers
were published showing the demand.
In many instances these clippings
were from newspapers who were OPP
posed to the elevation of Mr.. Preus
but were garbled in such manner as
to indicate that they were really
favorable to this cold blooded game.
The events of the past few days
appear to indicate that the Governor
and his advisors are suffering with
frost bitten pedal extremities and
have not nerve enough to go through
with the plan as originally outlined.
Those close to the throne are Civ
ing out statements that the Governor
has decided to call a special election
and allow the people to decide as to
who they really want to succeed the
late senator. They naively explain
that in short campaign with a half
dozen candidates, that the Governor
will fight it out with the rest, and
that he believes that he can pull
through.

- Sam w. Stocking passed away at
the home of his son-in-law, o. w.
Dowswell, Monday morning, May IA,
1923, at 1 100 o'clock. Mr.. Stockings
health began to fail about year ago
but he was up and about until four
weeks ago when he suffered a stroke
of paralysis after which he was con-
fined to his bed until he passed away.
Mr.. Stocking was born at Kings

in the Indian Stockade at Hutchin-
son. q"
The deceased grew to manhood at
Hutchinson and on July 27, 1876 was
united in marriage to Jennie E.
Scott at Glencoe, MINI. Mr.. and
Mrs. Stocking resided on a farm in
the vicinity of Hutchinson and in
Hutchinson until about, Ia years ago
when they moved to California,
where Mrs. Stocking died II years
ago last March. During his resi-
dence in Mcleod county Mr.. Stock
toward the development of the coun-
ty. For number of years he served
the agricultural society of Mcleod
county as president, and also secre-
tary.
The only child born to Mr.. and
Mrs. Stocking was their daughter,
Mrs. o. w. Dowswell, and when the
Dowswell family came to Sank Cen
tire six years ago at which time Mr..
Dowswell purchased the Fiesler drug
store, Mr.. Stocking came with them
and resided in Sank Centre from
that time until his death. He was a
genial soul and made a host of
friends with all those with whom he
came in contact.

COMMISSIONERS TO,
PASS co. BOND ISSUE
COMMITTEE TO BE APPOINTED
TO WORK WITH HIGHWAY
COMMISSIONER
WILL IMPROVE NO. THREE
HOPED THAT STATE DEPART
MENT WILL AID IN MAKING
BETTERMENTS

Wednesday of this week Mayor
William Parker and George O'Gara,
together with number of citizens
from the other cities and villages be-
tween Sank Centre and st. Cloud,
appeared before the County Commits
sioners urging them to take the nee
essary steps to issue the S25O,OOO
Highway Bonds as permitted under
an act passed by the recent legisla-
ture, these bonds to be taken over by
the Highway Department.
The Herald understands that Sena-
tor Ahles of this district was a men,
Der of the committee and made a
strong plea for the county commits
sioners to take advantage of the new
law.
Just before noon today, Thursday,
the Herald editor talked over the
phone to chairman P. N. Lair of the
county board, and he stated that
there was strong probability that
the board at this session would unan-
imously vote to pass resolution IA
foring the issuance of the bonds, and
appoint a committee to confer with
Highway Commissioner Babcock to
see where and how the money should
be expended. This money can only
be used for the betterment of the
Babcock Trunk Highways. Because
of the extremely heavy traffic on
Highway No. leading from st.
Cloud to Sank Centre, it is absolutely
certain that in the event that the
bonds are issued, this money will be
expended on Highway No. 5.
~ L.
to pave the number of miles that are
necessary between st. Cloud and
Sank Centre.
At a meeting with Commissioner
Babcock last February at which the
writer was present, he explained that
it was absolutely necessary that con-
siderable work must be done on
Highway No. 3, between st. Cloud
and Sank Centre. He explained at
that time that the money available
under a County Bond issue would
not do the work requested, but he in
timated very strongly that the State
would take over that part of the
work that was necessary, over and
above the $250,000 available from
the bond issue. The failure of the
S20,000,000 bond issue to pass the
legislature raises a doubt as to wheth-
er the State will have any funds this
year to assist in improving No. be-,
tween Sank Centre and St. Cloud.
Traffic on Trunk Highway No. 3,
between St. Cloud and Sank Centre
runs into several thousands cars a
day during the summer season and
because of the complex Of the soil a
good portion of the way it is abso-
lutely impossible to maintain dirt
road in. even fairly good condition,
regardless of the sum expended for
up keep. "
The people living along the route
through which No. 8 passes, are sat-
isfed that the County Commissioners
and Highway Commissioner Babcock
will give them all the relief that is
possible under present conditions.

Special Election for
United States Senator
Will Likely Be Called

> While the Herald sincerely doubts
if Mr.. Preus would be nominated in
a regular Republican primary, we
are inclined to believe, however, that
there is a strong probability that he
would be elected in field of a num-
Der of candidates.
The Herald realizes that we are
miles away from the throne but we
would suggest that if the governor
enters this free for all scramble for
election, that as a guarantee of his
good faith and certainty Of his abil-
ity to win in the special election,
that he tender his resignation as gov
ernor as soon as the special election
is called and take his chances. Of
course this is too much to expect as
past experience with the governor
proves quite conclusively that he will
not do anything of the sort. You will
recall that he ran for governor while
he was still State Auditor, and did
not separate himself from the State
pay roll until about one minute be-
fore he took the oath as governor at
an increased salary.
The Herald editor had occasion to
visit one of the other towns in the
county a few days ago, and while
there he discussed the senatorial sit
uation with number of the citizens,
most of whom were Republicans of
long standing, and without exception,
they strongly condemned the idea of
the governor trying to elevate him.
self to the senatorial position.
Had the governor promptly de-
clared, following the death of Sena-
tor Nelson, that a special election
would be called to name his success
sor, much of the confusion would
have been eliminated and he would
have been looked upon in a much
more favorable light than at present. .
