FEAST OF PATRON SAINT.
Lst Tuesday the Catholics of this
parish celebrated their annual pastoral
feast of St. Josephat. Many visitors
from surrounding towns and farmers
were present, as also a large number
of clergy. Father Peter McLaughlin,
of Sargent, who gave the English ad
dress the evening before, and also
Father Joseph Kolaska, who preached
the Polish sermon. Father Peter Mc
Laughlin gave a splendid sermon on
Tuesday, explaining the meaning of a
Saint to an attentive congregation,
while Father Stanislaus Jaszczynski
preached the Polish sermon.
The church was crowded to its ut
most capacity and all the ceremonies
were impressive. Father Edward So
liwoski, from Kvakow, was the cele
brant during the High Mass, assisted
by Fathers Frank Mlynarski and Peter
McLanghlin.
Due praise was given to our local
pastor, Father Jarka. for his work ac
complished during the past few weeks.
The choir, under the leadership of
Miss Lucie Ignowska, rendered good
special music during all the services.
A LONG AUTO TRIP.
Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Mallory and
daughter, Christina, of Danbery.Conn.,
arrived in the city last Friday on their
way home from Denver. Mrs. Mal
lery is a daughter of G. M. Raymond,
one of the old pioneers of this coun
ty, and who was in 1884 county sur
veyor here. Mr. and Mrs. Mallery
were also residents of the county at i
that time, and while here helped his
father-in-law to survey op£ the town
of Rockville. Mr. and Mrs. Mallery,
while here met several old time citi
zens and friends, and enjoyed a splen
did visit with them. They are making
the round trip in a big touring car. it
being one of the largest and most
costly - cars that has passed through
our streets. They have been to Den
ver to visit Mrs. Mallery's sister, Mrs.
C. R. Steadman, and report a pleasant
trip thus far, and that C. R. and
family are getting on fine, which fact
is good news for their many friends
here.
Saturday morning they made a trip
up the valley in their auto as far as
Arcadia, to visit friends, returning in
the evening. They left here Monday
morning for their Connecticut home.
“FEAR MEN.”
Bradstreet’s is authority for the
statement that only three per cent of
men who go into business for them
selves are successful. It is safe to
assume that the proportion of success
es in other fields, art, music, author
ship, politics, social work etcetera, is
as small. The failures are made so
through fear. Fear of consequences,
fear of the future, fear that we cannot
finish successfully what we begin,
fear of our opponent, unneccessary, il
logical fear stands between us and
success, and with an apparently im
passable arm bars our progress.
Those whom fear rules we call “Fear
men,” because they are not really men
at all. but men requiring a classifica
tion, an apology. There has hardly
been a time in American history whe.i
men were called on more to overcome
their fear than at the present time.
Moral strength is needed in politices
more than ever before, and moral
strength is as far superior to physical
strength as the spiritual is above the
natural. It is told of Wellington that,
before the battle of Waterloo. Ins
knees shook so that he laughed and
called attention to them, saying: “If
they knew where 1 was going to carry
them, they would shake much worse.”
That was moral courage overcoming
physical fear, and this is the courage
that men must have now if America
is to go onward and upward. We
must have moral courage to overcome
the selfish persuasion of the politician,
who seeks his own advancement re
PAPA KILL JOY
IT PAPAj

gardless of the public, good. Courage
is needed to overcome the fear that
organizations and societies and
leagues cause by their tactics of force
and threats in their efforts to enforce
morality by law. Moral courage is
necessary to make men follow the dic
tates of their own conscience, regard
less of the arguments of politicians,
ministers, leagues or individuals. The
time has come for Americcan men to
throw off the fetters of fear, to come
out boldly for what they believe, to re
fuse to follow the selfish, money grasp
ing politician or organization and to
stand strongly for progress, liberty,
decency and social liberty.
