Never in its history has the cathedral
at St. Paul held .a larger assemblage
than that which today attended the
funeral services over the remains of
Father Augustin. Ravoujc, the north
western pioneer of his church. Hun
dreds of mourners filled the church and
there was not a vacant seat in the large
building, while in the rear people stood
in a solid mass, making it almost im-
Soors
ossible for the ushers to keep the
closed. Services began at 10
a.m. and even while they were in
progress the people continued to come
in. The shadows of death seemed to
hover about the church in the form of
the heavy black crape draperies, and
the bands of black which were draped
from the cupola tg the chancel, at the
foot of which stood the coffin covered
with a black pall crossed in white.
Three tall altar candles burned at
either side of the coffin.
Archbishop John Ireland preached
the sermon and Bishop Thomas O 'Gor
man of Sioux City, conducted the sol
emn requiem mass.
"Precious and beautiful are the
footsteps of those who carry the mes
sage of peace,*' were the words on
which the archbishop based MB sermon.
He spoke at length on the noble life
and the self-saorifice of Augustin Ea
voux for his church and for the salva
tion of humanity.
The full cathedral choir sang in ac
companiment of the mass.
Following the services at the cathe
dral the body was escorted by the
priests to Calvary cemetery where it
was laid to rest in the priests' lot.
The pallbearers were. Eev. Messrs. O.
Eemy, St. Louis churoni Jerome Heider,

EASY FOE POSTOFFICE
Seed catalogs are keeping the clerks
in the sorting department of the post
office busy this week. This is the
season when all the big seed and mail
order houses are sending out their cat
alogs for the spring trade, and every
day since Monday 20,000 or more
pieces of this sort of mail have passed
thru the office. Wednesday holds the
record with 30.000 pieces.
The task of handling this flood of
second-class matter is a heavy one, and
the sorting force will be glad when
the rush is over. One firm has light
ened the work of the office, somewhat
by sending in nothing but the wrap-
?'hesewhich
SM T. C. 2931

ers will enclose its catalogs,
are sorted with ease and are
then returned to the firm. Clerks en
close the catalogs in the wrappers, tak
ing care not to disturb their order. The
mail so made up goes direct to the
dispatching room and does not have
tobe sorted again.
In addition to the great mass of cat
alogs stacked in the mailing room,
over one hundred sacks of newspapers
and periodicals are being held there
pending the payment of postage.
V. A. Brown, formerly of the IfTew

to Good Boads AmendmentBock
Surface Not Always to Be Demanded.
"Some mistaken impressions are
abroad concerning our board." said
Gustave Scholle, president of the state
highway commission, today. "We have
been accused of opposition to the con
stitutional amendment, and of a desire
to defeat it at the polls. The amend
ment increases the amount of tax that
may be levied for the state road and
bridge fund from one-twentieth to one
fourth of a mill. The increased tax
will be a great thing if properly ad
ministered and we favor the amend
ment. We do not favor an increased
tax, however, if it is to be distributed
on the old plan by the legislature. The
amendment makes no difference in the
statue of the highway commission.
"It iB supposed by many that we
intend to require a rock Surface for
all roads on which state money is spent.
That is incorrect. In our specifications
we will take in consideration the char

HOBTHWESTECTiWIMS METHODISTS DEFEAT GOPHERS
IN CENTRAL DEBATING LEAGUE
PBELIMINABY IN UNIVERSITY
CHAPEL.
Northwestern won from Minnesota
in the Central Debating league prelimi
nary held in the university chapel last
night and will meet the winner of the
Chicago-Michigan debate for the league
championship. The question was "Be-
solved. That the United. States should
establish a fiscal protectorate over any
West Indies, Central and South Ameri
can republic whenever it shall mani
fest a chronic failure to meet its* for
eign financial obligation. Granted, that
neither these republics nor any other
foreign nation would object."
Minnesota had the affirmative, and
while individually the gopher debaters
outclassed the Methodists in style and
delivery, instead of showing the gener
al application of the proposition to the
South Amtrican countries they dwelt
at length upon the Dommgan treaty
and canal zone conditions. The 'North
western men took a more general view
of the subject and were quick to take
advantage of the narrow view taken
by the Minnesotans to push them into
a corner and beat up their arguments.
Former Governor 8. B, Van Sptnt, who
presided, announced that the vote stood
2 to 1 in favor of the negative.
The Minnesota speakers were all good
and the victory was won more by gen
eralship than eloquence.
The judges, ta&en from the Iowa' su
preme bench, were Judges E. McClane,

PREPARING FOE INSTITUTE
Quite a little rivalry has arisen among
the young people of the different de
nominations of the twin cities in con
nection with the Young People's Mis
sionary institute to be held at Westmin
ster church Jan. 31 to Feb. 2. The
work of acquainting the young people
with the institute is being done thru
the medium of the denominational
unions, of which there are many in
Minneapolis, tho not so many in St.
Paul. The Twin City Luther league,
Otto Johnson, president the-'Epworth
league, B. Abrams, Minneapolis, presi
dent, and F. E. Miller, St. Paul, presi
dent the Presbyterian union, E. C.
Oakley, Minneapolis, .president the
Congregational union, Harold Hunting.
Minneapolis, presidentthese are all at
work registering delegates In their own
denominations. It is confidently ex
pected that the limit of 400 will be
reached long before the workers who
will have charge reach the cities.
Many young church-goers are .em-
ployed thru the dav and cannot attend
the morning and afternoon sessions. At
their meeting at the Dayton tearoom,
Thursday noon, the "local committee in
charge voted to have evening classes
and to open them the first evening,
thus enabling the workers to get the
benefit of the class work, which is the
chief feature of the institute. The

WOULD KEEP PUPILS
UNDER ONE TEACHER
Dr. O. M. Jordan) superintendent of
schools, at a meeting of the board of
education this afternoon presented a
plan for the rotation of eighth grade
teachers so that each teacher will take
charge of the class as it enters that
Snalleyand
rad remain with it thru the year
preparing it for graduation.
Several of the schools nave from two
to four eight grade rooms. The A
room teacher remains in A room thru
out the year, as does the room
teacher. When the class enters the

a tjt.-
need passable
roads we will try to cover more ground
with the money.
"We are investigating the proposi
tion of a state rock crushing plant to
be run by prison labor, as in Indiana.
There they have a huge stockade sur
rounding the rock, and at seasons of
the year a force of convicts is put to
work in there breaking rock. The ,rail-:
roads haul it at a low rate, and the
state sells the rock to counties at cost.
There is a fine rock supply for the pur
pose at Taylors Falls, and after in
vestigation we may ask the legislature
to start such a plant. It-would employ
the prisoners in a way that would not
compete with any free labor.
"We wiH soon be prepared for test
ing road materials." Gravel is a good
surfacing material, and the most com
mon, but not alljfravel will do in its
natural state. We will take samples
from any locality and test them. Some
need more clay and some have too
much. We will supply the needed in
formation in ach case."
The board will do considerable cir
cular and correspondence Work this
Jrear. A blank with eighteen questions
being Bent to county auditors and
surveyors, and to chairmen of county
boards. It calls for all kinds of sta
tistical information. One question asks
for the average annual amount paid
road overseers. This will develop the
big expense ratio on present road work.
A week ago at Owatonna, where Presi
dent Scholle and Secretary Cooley ad
dressed a good roads meeting, it was
shown that $12,000 is spent in Steele

are not trained road men. For. $1,500

Dr. Jordan is of the opinion that it
is better for both teacher and pupils

The plan has been tried with success
at the Madison school. There is some

URGES JEWS
RISE IN PROTEST
MINNEAPOLIS JEWISH PUBLICA-
TION DEPLOBBS INJUSTICE.
Becent Decision of Minnesota Supreme
Court to the Effect that Jewish Gro
cers Cannot Sell Goods on Sunday
Furnishes Text for Editorial Begard
ing Bights of Jews.
Commenting upon the recent decision
of the Minnesota supreme court in the
Weiss case, to the effect that Jewish
grocers cannot sell goods on Sunday,
to they may do servile labor on that
day, the Judean, a Jewish publication
of Minneapolis, edited by Eev. S. N.
Deinard, pastor.of the Jewish Beform
congregation, urges Jews to rise in pro
test against the curtailment of their lib
erty. The Judean says:
"Christianity is in one way or an
other brought to the children of our
public schools, colleges and universi
ties, and the Sunday holiday, which is
a purely Christian institution, like Eas
ter and Christmas, has become the offi
cial and legal holiday of the land. This
is really nothing to be wondered at,
since the Christian element forms the
overwhelming majority in this country,
as in every other country, and it is
only human nature that those that have
the power to do so should arrange mat
ters to suit themselves. And yet it
would seem that, in order to live up
to the principles of democracy and to
carry out the spirit of the constitution,
the majority would still grant the mi
nority the right or the privilege to ob
serve its own religion and to maintain
its own religious institutions without
suffering any inconveniece, any discom
fort, any loss on that account. So at
least it ought to be In a truly demo
cratic country. But it is not so here."
*'A Jew who wishes in this free coun
try to observe his own Sabbath^ which,
he believes is a divine institution, is
punished for it and made to observe
the Christian Sabbath, too. For it is
certainly a punishment, since no man
can afford nowadays, when competition
is so keen, to close his business or his
shop t^ro days of the week.
"Were alf Jews loyal to our own
religious institutions we should rise
in vigorous protest against this recent
decision of the court. Our laxity and
indifference, our own laxity makes us
careless and indifferent. Yet we should
protest against it and our legal lights
should fight it for the sake of the prin
ciple involved in it. Shall the free
dom of conscience of the minority
really be guaranteed and secured! They
should fight it because of the grave
danger which sutfh a precedent threat
ens for the future.
"The day may come yet when a
Jewish child will be punished in our
public schools, indirectly punished,
at least, by being given a
poor mark, etc., for .not join
ing in the .singing of a Chris
tian hymn, for not committing some
Christmas verses to memory, or for not
"beings attentive to the scripture read
ing irom the gospels. We know all
these things are done in the public
schools now. Christian hymns are sung,
Christmas verses are recited, selections
from the gospels are read, and the Jew
ish child often has .the privilege of lis
tening to the story that tells how the
Jews crucified Christ. We are not sure
to what lengths all this may be car
ried in the future. Here again we" see
the value of self-defense and eternal
vigilance, for in our case, too, an ounce
of prevention will prove better than
a pound of cure. The cure may be at
tempted too late."
MERCHANTS COME SOON
