Rome, July 22.-Pope Leo XIII. is
dead. The last flicker of life expired
at four minutes past four o'clock yes
terday afternoon and the pontiff now
lies at rest.
The period of over two weeks that
Pope Leo passed in the shadow OF
death was no less wonderful than his
life. His splendid battle against dis
ease was watched the world over with
sympathetic admiration and ended
only after a series of tremendous eff
forts to conquer the weakness Of his
aged frame by the marvellous will
power of his mind. The pleuro-pneu-
monia with which his holiness had
been suffering was scarcely so respon-
sible for his death as that inevitable
decay of tissue which ensues upon
ninety-three years of life. The tested
steel which had bent so often before
human ills was

FIGHT Against CONSUMPTION.

COME INTERESTING FACTS in re-
> lation to New York City's fight
against consumption are given in
Worlds Work for September 1t is
stated that within the twelve years
that the New York health department
has been carrying on a campaign for
the prevention of tuberculosis, the
6eaths from that disease have been re-
duced forty per cent. This has en-
couraged DR.. Biggs, bacteriologist OF
the health department, TO say that
consumption is a disease that may be
controlled absolutely, and there
is no more reason for It than there is
for smallpox"
All the scientists now are proceeu-
ing on the theory that the way to wipe
out consumption is to. prevent it. No
specific for the malady has ever been
found There are instances, II is true,
where cures have apparently been eff
| fected. but they are so isolated that
they do not count in the general cal
| culations. Preventative measures have
/ in other cities as well as in New York
| been successfully used. The French
method. for instance, is generally COM
mended According to Worlds Work:
The pupils Gn the schools Of Paris
are examined every three months and
their physical condition with reference
| to the danger Of consumption is en-
tered on their reports. No carpets arc
/ allowed in school rooms and no dry
sweeping is permitted; the furniture is
regularly washed; books are regularly
| disinfected promiscuous use of PEN
holders and pencils is forbidden-every
| pupil must have his own and they are
advised 10 keep them out of their
mouths In boarding schools a severe
routine IS prescribed, and consumptive
pupils are to be kept from school. Such
a system, II il is carried out. would
in a generation or two make cOnsump-
| ton as rare as smallpox"
The system should be introduced in
| every city in the United States and
| vigorously enforced. If we cannot cure
we can at least prevent and in the END
the disease viii be completely subju
gated.

WHERE rae MONEY IS.


A BOSTON PAPER hnds occasion for
a asking what has become OF the
money Of the country IL submits sta
tistics that show that out Of S2,56S.2oo'-
600. roughly speaking, in the United
States, more than half Is in the hands
Of the people. That is. it is outside of
the banks and the United States treas
ury. This is truly a deplOrable condi-
ton of affairs and we find ourselves
wondering how in the world the people
ever got hold Of so much cash and
what they are doing with H.
1T appears" says the Boston paper,
that of ali the money in the United
States in 1902, 1924 per cent was in the
treasury. $3.50 per cent in the banks
and 55.O7 per cent. considerably more
than one-half, in the hands of people
outside Of the banks and the treasury.
The percentage in the treasury de-
creased 1897 to 1902 from 1895 to
1924; the amount in the banks de-
creased from 1926 10 22.69. and the
amount in the hands of the people in
creased from $500 20 55.OT
"Thus there is actually less money in
the banks in proportion to the entire
supply now, than there was six years
ago. while the amount i'm circulation
outside the banks is much greater. As
money in the banks is the basis Of
credit, and money outside is simply
used for cash payments, the foregoing
facts may perhaps be ono explanation
Of the congestion OF credits" The pa
per quoted. however. finds it difficult to
explain why the public generally is
using so much money in the transaction
Of its every day business.
The thing can be accounted for on
many hypothesis. according to news
paper reports a great deal Of boodIing
has been going on in recent years. 1t is
| generally known that in practically
every instance the Doodle business is
| conducted on a cash basis. Bribe-giv-
! ers and bribe-takers don't put theii
| money in banks. They usually rent 2
safety deposit box and place their casf
/ there away from the gaze of a curiou.
! constituency.
Then perhaps a good deal of money
is being stored away in old stockings
and tin cans and ether receptacle.
commonly used by people who don
trust the banks. Altogether the stu
alton is one that calls for congratula.
ton rather than for alarm. AS Ions
as the money Of the country is in tn
hands Of the people nobody is going t.
be very badly crippled, in the fnancia
| sense.

II WO BOYS are under arrest, one in
i salt Lake and the other in Davis
county, charged with the same offense
the very serious crime Of attempting
10 wreck railroad trains. one of the
bows has confessed his guilt: the other
declares he is innocent. However, that
is beside the question. The guilt or
innocence of the boys who have been
locked up win not enter into this dis
cussion. The point we wish to make
is that It is hard to conceive a more
dastardis crime than the crime of train
yrecking.
Hundreds Of light-hearted, innocent
people are or their way to or from a
pleasure resort. The thought of danger
is far from them Suddenly the train
strikes an obstruction. cars are
smashed, limbs are broken, lives are
lost. Why? To satisfy a grudge held
by somebody against the railroad COM
pany. to feed a morbid appetite for
scenes OF human suffering and distress
and death. 1t is hard TO understand
O nature that is capable Of such an
offanse.
The man who robs another at least
takes a chance: the burglar knows that
at any moment he may be shot down
without warning. without mercy, by a
wakeful householder; even that despic-
able criminal the assassin, Stays only
the one individual against whom he
has a grudge, the one individual who
has. ir. some way. sinned against him.
It is unnecessary to say that we are
not holding up the footpad, the burg
lar. the assassin. as shining lights in
society, but they are almost spotless
when compared with the individual who
viii deliberately wreck railroad train
In some states the law makes even
an attempt to wreck train capt.
tai offense. Men proven guilty of it
die on the gailoWs. In all states when
ST can be show that the premeditated
wrecking of a train has caused loss OF
life. the charge is murder in the first
degree And IL should be, for no muir
der could possibly be more cOw9rdly
no crime more thoroughly deserving OF
the death penalty.
The boy who tried 70 wreck the Salt
air train had no conception of the
enorudty of his ofense. The same thinG
is true Of the boy who tried to wrecl
and almost succeeded-a Lagoon
train If, indeed. any boy is guilty o.
that crime. The deed was done in Z
moment Of boyish thoughtlessness, O
boyish responsibility, without ;
thought of the grave possibilities e

Some punishment Is doubtless neces
sary. but it need not be as severe al
though the culprit were a man, wit
mans understanding and mans re
sponsibilities.
