Old friends will appear on the
dinner program to recall, in brief
talks the many phases of his
career. The windup will come with
the speech by former Governor
Millward Simpson of Wyoming,
who has developed close ties with
the Montana executive.
The final talk will touch on a
political career that began when
the governor-to-be became a Cut
Bank alderman in 1894. This was
followed by service as Glacier
County state representative and
state senator, then election as
governor in 1852. Reelection came
in 1856. Governor Aronson an
nounced well in advance of this
years campaign that he would
not again be a candidate.
Mrs. Aronson, herself, is no
stranger to public service. She is
former Glacier County superinten-
dent Of schools, and has been a
helpmate in the diverse duties of
the highest state office.
The outgoing governor was born
in Gallstad, Sweden. He was, by
turn, an immigrant youth, farm

Payments are made to producers
who meet certain conditions relat-
ing to the production of beets in
Guiding harvesting for sugar pro-

There have been many emotional
overtoneS in the controversy over the
death sentence against Caryl ChesSman.
SOMEONE RECENTLY charged that
Governor Pat Brown of California, a
Catholic, was pressured into a reprieVe
by the Vatican.
This statement was founded on the
editorial stand of the Vatican City news
paper 'tOsservatore Romano which
said Chessman had suffered enough,
had "expiated his guilt, however great"
The newspaper added he was under a
penalty which no law has eve inflicted
for any crime: that of a death sentence
to be carried out at an undetermined
time
The Catholic Universe Bulletin of
Cleveland answered "Osservatore' very
well by reminding the editorial writer
that he did not have all the facts. Chess
man was not sentenced to death at an
undetermined time; the delay in execu'
ton is attributable to his own maneu-
verS.
MAY WE REMIND our readers too,
that 'Osservatore' is not the official
voice of the Vatican? 1t is the Vatican

st. Patrick had only labored for 10
years when he was able to accomplish
the tremendous task of Christianizing
Ireland.
HE HAD BAPTIZED untold thou
sands OF people; he had founded over
700 churches, ordained 5000 priests,
consecrated $40 bishops. And yet at the
height of his success, his oWn people,
his W clergy put him on trial TO see if
he was worthy to be named Primate Of
the Church III Ireland.
During the trial, his best friend
testified that Patrick had been guilty
of serious fault as a young man On his
own admission. In view Of this charge,
Patrick was deposed as presiding Bish-
op in his adopted land.
WE CAN IMAGINE how crushed
Patrick was at the betrayal of a close
friend and the ingratitude of his people.
He himself wrote that he was despon-
dent and was tempted to abandon his
life's work. But he was made of sterner
stuff and went to Rome. pleaded his
cause before the Holy Father and was
reinstated.

Saint Patrick

We mention this incident to show
that the road to holiness is not easy for
anyone, even the saints. Saint Patrick
had to surmount many obstacles: slav-
cry, ignorance, hostility, pride, treach-
cry, and despair.
He WOULD NOT have overcome
these things unless he vas a mortified
and ~prayerful man grounded in the
grace of God. He is therefore a perfect
model for us for the season of Lent.
THE FEAsTDAY of St. Patrick,
March II, has had great significance for
the Catholics of Irish descent In the
United States. The observance en-
bodies two things: answering fidelity
to our Catholic Faith and absolute loyal
ty to our country. The Irish have shown
these qualities in their history on these
shores.
NEXT THURSDAY we will cele-
brate st. Patriek's Day again It is to
be hoped that all who observe the day
will realize what the Feast stands for
and what a glorious tradition the Irish
here must live up to. - GAF

The Chess1nan Case

City newspaper but it represents the
private opinions of the editor, Count
Giuseppe della Tore. We Catholics may
agree or disagree with him as we please,
just as we would with any other editor.
This is an opportunity to state the
traditional Catholic teaching about Cap
ital punishment.
THE BISHOPS of Canada recently
reaffirmed this teaching when they
said: 1.-THE state has the right - indeed
the duty and obligation from God - to
protect its citizens from harm and take
whatever means are needed to maintain
the common good of everybody. When a
criminal gravely endangers the COM
good by evil-doing, the state has the
RIGHT to put him to death, if neces-
sary."
1T IS FOR the state to decide wheth-
er capital punishment is opportune or
necessary in a given case, or in a gen
eral situation. So we may have our
opinions as to whether capital punish
ment is effective as crime deterrent or
whether it actually safeguards the COM
mon good. But the fact remains the
state has the right to inflict it.-GAF

many of our slogans have lost

seem legalistic, complex, in
flexible. Usually the Protes-
tant feels that the simple
Christian ethic of love of
~neighbor is enough as a moral
guide. He looks upon the
Catholic concepts of Natural
Law as attempts to foist the
pagan philosophy Of Aristotle
upon Biblical Christianity.
NOW LOVE is "a many
splendored thing" but it's too
general and abstract to serve
as practical moral guide. When
Pope Leo XIII was confront

plotted the workers and gave
them starvation wages, he had

less they behaved, the State
had the right to intervene to
see justice done to the work
ers.
AT least one Protestant
theologian has seen the inef'
fectiveness of love as a moral
guide. Daniel Day Williams
IN his What Present-Dsy Theo-
logisns Are Thinking says.
"All Christian ethics must
find some pattern in exper-
fence and reason for the eX-
plicit guidance of life. Love is
greater than any law or prin-
