astrous to all concerned, and is most
confusing to moral distinctions.


confusing to moral distinctions.
Again, we hear much talk today Of
dangerous classes i, and the assump-
ton is generally made that they are
the poor and working classes. This is
as shallow as it Is unfair The danger
cente1s are less the East side than they
are Fifth avenue. There Is much lam
entation over the number of men who
sell their votes, who barter this price
less American birthright for a mess OF
pottage. There are many venal voters
in America, no doubt. But who does the
buying? We lament the fact that al
dermen sell franchises and give away
great public privileges. This may all
be the case; but who buys these fran
chises? Not the poor workingman.. We
hear much criticism OF the vices Of
the people and the lawlessness Of the
workingman, but who hears any criti-
cisms of the vices and lawlessness of the
: well-to-do? Says Bishop Thompson of
Mississippi: "The luxuries, the vices,
the family and social corruption which
reign in our great cities are not the sins
of artisans and day laborers. y
Playing CARDS for money Is no worse in
a beer shop than in the Union Club
house. To be tipsy there or at corner
grocery amounts to about the same
thing: The assumption that sin lives in
tenement houses and the moral virtues
reside On the avenue, and that the
, church must make special efforts to
! keep bricklayers, carpenters and black
smiths in order, that these last and
their kind are the specially dangerous
, and Sinful classes; is nearly always pres
ent in the plan of religious people to
reach the masses. The assumption is
worse than Pharisaism. 1t is blind ig-
norance Of life and fact, and anti-Chris-
tian as well as senseless." Those are
brave words, and we must have more
men who will testify with the same cer-
tain and unequivocal sound. We have
been quite ready to testify against the
man who wins a dime in low groggery,
but who hears any stern criticism of
the men who win thousands cornering
the necessaries OF life and speculating
in breadstuffs?
DR.. Batten closes his article appropri-
ately by saying: "Whatever is wrong
| cannot be impossible" These are
words Of talismanic wisdom. Let the
people get them to heart.

into three orders, called cardinal bish-
ops; cardinal priests and cardinal dea-
cons. Their origin dates back as far as
the first century. At that early period,
while persecution was raging, seven
churches were established in Rome, and
sacred functions might be performed,
and the sacraments ministered to the
faithful. The sick and the needy, the
widows and orphans were not neglected,
for it was the duty Of deacons to look
after their temporal welfare. The city
was divided into seven. districts. Each
had it's hospital or asylum, with a chapel
annexed, and seven deacons were ap-
pointed to preside over them. After a
couple Of hundred years the seven
priests and seven deacons began to be
the origin of the title. In the course of
time new duties and new dignities were
given to the priests and deacons thus
called to aid the Pope in the care Of the
Roman church, the mother and mistress
of all churches. The office of cardinal
bishop began about the eighth or ninth
century, when the bishops Of the subur-
ban sees of Rome were called to take
part In the election Of the Sovereign
Pontlff and aid him In the government
of the church. These sees constitute
the Roman province, and have the Pope
as their metropolitan. In the begin
ming Of the twelfth century there were
ninety cardinals, but ,Sixtus ", in the
sixteenth century, reduced the number
to seventy. OF this number six are car
dinal bishops, fifty cardinal priests and
fourteen cardinal deacons. At least
four are chosen from the regular and
mendicant orders.
A cardinal is not necessarily bishop,
or even a priest or deacon: He must,
however, be initiated intothe ranks of
the clergy, and have what are called
minor orders If elevated TO ono Of tho
suburban sees, he is co1secfated bishop,
that he may discharge The episcopal Of
Ace. There is no such dignity as car
dinal archbishop, and, as have already
remarked, there are only stx cardinal
bishops. A bishop o.. an n-arehbishop may
be elevated to the caivIinalate, and rank
only as priest in the sacred college:
Cardinal Gibbons, the arasa1 a1bIshop OF: Bal
timore, is cardinal priest. AS the Pope
is the center Of all, Authority in the 4
church. SO he alone has the power to
create cardinals. No prescribed form
is required. He merely declares that he
acts in virtue of his apostolic authority
when he assumes one to the eardinalate
If a cardinal bishop, he is assigned to
vacant suburban see, but if a priest Or
deacon, he receives the title of one Of
the ancient churches of Rome, over
which cardinal priests and cardinal dea-
cons preside. AS soon as the appoint
ment is made the newly elected goes to
the Vatican Palace, where an older car
dinal presents him to The Pope, who
gives him the red skull cap; and, in
subsequent public cons1story, he re-
ceives the red hat. The req cap and the
red hat are the insignia Of the Office.
Cardinals residing outside of Rome re-
ceive the red cap through messenger
of high rank; but they must promise, on
oath, to 60 to the Holy Father within
year for the other ceremonies of their
elevation.

Edwards County Populists held a
county convention June 5 at which A.
G. Dyer, H. J. Noble, M. De Tar, Lou
Beal, j. l. Brelsford, E. p. Shepherd
and S. j. Frost were elected delegates
to the Ness City Judicial Convention.
The Kinsley Graphic says that the
delegates are for A. G, Dyer for Judge
as long as 1t appears that he has a
show, aud falling In that, they are for
Judge Andrews. The resolutions COM
mend Governor Leedy's veto of the
Senate railroad bill, and his admins
tration generally. Webb McNalPs In
sursnCe fight is approved, and the
Populist Legislators who voted with
the Republicans on the railroad ques
tion are denounced.
The Topeka Capital prints a long
story to the effect that the sdmlnistrs-
tion Populists Of the Seventh District
are organizing to defeat Jerry Simpson
for denomination, and to nominate w
F. Brown, the leader In the maximum
rate fight, in his stead. The story in
cludes an account of meeting in the
Governors office at which plans for
accomplishing this object were agreed
on. It is likely that there Is little II
anything in the story. 1t Is true that
Mr.. Simpson has political enemies in
the Seventh District. 1t is equally
true that Mr.. Brown of Pratt has made
many staunch friends by his active
support of the maximum freight law
1t is probable that these friends will
make an effort to nominate Mr.. Brown
for Congress. 1t is not likely that
there ia any conspiracy to depose Simp-
son and name Brown.
Owing to changes which prevented

Attorney General Boyle, believing
that the books of the Kansas City Stock
Yards Company at Boston contained
infOrmstian which was material In the
investigation now in progress, asked
Judge Foster for an order directing
the company to bring the Boston books

refused upon showing that a dupll-

NOT ALWAYS UNDERSTOOD.

A fs ct often overlooked, or not ALWAYS
understood, is that women suffer as much
from distressing kidney and bladder
troubles as the men. The womb is situated
back of and very close to the bladder, and
for that reason any distress, disease or
Inconvenience manifested in the kidneys,
back, bladder or urinary passage is often,
by mistake, attributed to female weak.
ness or womb trouble Of some sort.
The error is easily made and may be as
easily avoided by setting urine aside for
twenty-four hours; a sediment or settling
is evidence that your kidneys and bladder
need doctoring. If you have pain or dull
aching in the back, pass water too free
quently, or scanty supply, with smarting
or burning these are also convincing
proofs of kidney trouble. If you have
doctored without benefit, try DR.. Kilmer's

might be gotten under way. Mr.. Place
is a promoter of this kind of enterprises,
and he proposes to erect the mill here, at
q cost of about 1925. 600, and when it is
completed, he asks the city to raiss him
$50 900. for watch he gives stock in the
