The Cost Of a ConcIave,

what is the cost Of a ConclaveY'
The question was asked yesterday Of
wcll-known clergyman, and this was
his reply:
THAT Of 1873, which resulted In the
elections Of Leo Kill, involved two
bills, one of $11 ,754.28 for carpenters
and masons' work, locksmiths, paint.
ers, gas, GLACIERS, and electric bells
the other OF $4,000 for fitting up the
Sistine Chapel. But this was dirt
cheap compared with the figures for
some preceding conclaves. That Of
1881, when Gregory XVI. was elected,
cost $1ll,156.13 and the elections Of
Plus VIII. and Leo Mi. were respon.
siDle for 1927. TOP and $09,425, respec-
lively. These conclaves all took place
during the last century; but before
that period conclaves were both long
er and more frequent, so that it was
found necessary on several occasionq
to limit bcforehand> the expenditure
on papal election. Thus, Alexander
VIII. limited the number Of the func-
tionaries Of the Conclave and cut down
their cmolumcnts and perquisites."-

The Heart Not The Chief Vital Organ

The stomach, not the heaIt. is the vital cen
ter of the human body. What effects the
cause. from the stomach comes the nutrition
which su.tains life. If by reason of disease
the digestive and assmllative processes OF the
stomach and Its allied organs are impaired.
that means the impairment of every organ OF
the body which must suffer from diminished
sustenancc.
II is a remarkable fact that people trfe
| with the stomach as with no other physical
organ. They let 1t grow ''w eak, know that
Its functions are failing and will do little or
| nothing to cure themselves. Let symptoms
| of disease manifest themselves in the heart
liver. kidneys or lungs, and there IL instant
| anxiety. They begin to doctor for weak
or lung trouble as the case may be
And still thcy neglect stomach trouble which
| Is probably the cause OF the disorder of other
organs That IL the reason why so many peo-
ME doctor" without success for diseases Of
| heart, liver, kidneys, lungs. etc. They are en-
| til ely neRlecting the cause of disease which Is
| in the stomach and which results i'll physical
weakness because oflack of nutrition And as
| the body rs a whole is made up of it's severa
| organs and members. it is evident that phys
| cal weakness in general means weakness dis
tributcd among the several organs OF the
| body. heart, liver. kidneys and lungs, eacf
| bearing its share. If there is special prediSpo
sition to disease in any ono organ, that organ
| will probably he the first to develop symp
| toms of disease.
| The reason why DR.. Pierce G oidcn Medical
| Discovery cures 40 many various diseases Is
| that so many diseases have their igin i'll dis
| ease of the stomach and other organs o. diSes
| ton and nutrition. When the diseased Stom
| ach Is cured. diseases of heart, liver. kidneys
| lungs etc. caused by disease of the stomach
| are cured also.
The reas IN why &c oIden NJ edical Discovery.
\ cures when doctors have failed and other
| medicines have been tried i'll vain, Is because
| the ordinary medical treatment ignores the
| stomach, while DIR. Pierce's Golden Mcdica
| Discovery begins by the cure of diseases o.
| this vital center and progresses to the cure OF
| diSenacs of other organs remote from tn(
| stomach but influenced by it and dependent
upon 1t.
| Remember that food Is the material that
| sust aims HE, but only when it is perfectly
| digestcd and assimilatcd. 1t Is by curing the
| diseases O. the stomach and its allied organs
| which hinder digestion and assimilation that
| DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery en-
| ables the building up OF the body-into vigor
| Gus health and strength, through perfect nu
| triton derived from food; the only source Of
physical strength and vigor.

to- BE KEPT OUT OF POLITICS.

The Postoffice Department has
recently announced that the office of
Superintendent of Rural Free Delivery
routes which was formerly held by
Chief Machen, who is now under
many indictments for gross irregu-
larities, will be abolished, which will
effect the saving of about $4,000 a
year. This may, in a measure, de-
ceive some persons but the intelligent
public at large will not be satisfied
until the Bureau has been thorough
ly probed and all questionable deal
ings brought to light.
The crooked doings of the Post
office Department seem to have ex-
tended through period ofyears and
several different heads are RESPONSE
bic for the wrongs that have been
committed all of which however are
within the time OF the Republican,
administrations which began when
the late President Mckinley took
hold of the official reins at Washing
ton During this period there have
been several Postmaster Generals
and each and every one is responsible
to the public for not exercising due
business methods in the conduct of
the office. Anyone who has had
occasion to have any dealings with
almost any branch ofthe Government
service finds that the officialred tape
is carried out to such an extent as
to render it a nuisance The ordina-
ry adjustment of a claim against the
Government requires months and
sometimes even years and there is
no redress except for the unfortunate
who is placed in this position to
"grin and bear it," 1t has been
urged that a more modern system of
conducting the Governments bust
nessmatters should be at once inaugu-
rated and if these reforms cannot be
brought about in the ordinary way,
Congress should take steps to pass
some needed legislation looking to a
change in our public business affairs.
Late reports from Washington
announce that the administration
has decided to take decided stand
by excluding favoritism in conduct
ing the service. If this should be

WAKEFIELD THE UNANIMOUS CHOICE

1t now seems certain that the only
name that will be presented to the
Gubernatorial Convention to be held
by the Democrats sometime during
the coming month, will be that of
Edwin War6eld. While Mr.. Spencer
c. Jones has not given formal notice
of his withdrawal from the contest,
yet it is certain that his friends see
the wisdom Of accepting what ap-
pears to be the sentiment of the ma
jority of the Democratic voters Of
Maryland, and will gracefully
acquiesce in rendering to MIR. War
field the unanimous nomination.
Thus the rupture in the party lines,
which for sometime seemed to serious
ly threaten the uniform harmony
that has been lately prevalent in the
Democratic party, will not come
about and we will all be together
with the one impression that Mr..
Warfeld is the peoples choice.
In marked contrast with the pres
ent harmony are the disgraceful
scenes that are daily occurring in the
attempt of Mudd and McComas to
wrest the political leadership from
each other and settle definitely who
is in control of the Republican party.
While we have only a passing inter-
est in this, and in fact, regret that it
should occur even in the camp of our
enemy, yet we think it should teach
a wholesome lesson to those who
are so prone to criticise the slightest
depression that may occur within
the Democratic party. Hartford
county in all of its political history
has never seen such primaries as
those that have just taken place in
western and southern Maryland, but
we are willing to throw the mantle
of charity upon such actions if the
Republicans will profit by the lesson
in letting US alone in the control of
our local affairs.
1t now seems certain that the

THE LOCAL REPUBLICAN TICKET.
The Republican County Conven-
ton, which met in Bel Air on Mon
day, nominated a ticket which is
presumed to express their sentiments
on the local affairs of this county
and they have placed the same before
their party asking its support. So
far as we know there could be no
derogatory criticism concerning the
private character ofany ofthe parties
whose names appear upon the ticket
and even if there was it would not
be within our province to stoop SO
low as to make an attack in any such
manner. We prefer to take a posi-
ton in this campaign of an entirely
different nature and will treat our
adversaries from purely Il political
standpoint. The convention was
harmonious which indicated that
there is no split in the party and that
they will stand together to make as
many inroads within our party lines
as is possible. 1t is a recognized fact
that Hartford county is Democratic
and their only hope is to gain as many
men as they can without expecting to
elect the entire ticket.
Their resolutions indicate that they
will make 4 strong effort to capture
the legislative ticket for the purpose,
as they aver, of selecting men who
will vote for a Republican United
States Senator. Should the next
Legislature be Republican it is a fore
gone conclusion that Senator Nc
Comas will succeed himself. Our peo-
pie, therefore, should bear i'll mind
the fact that no matter what other
bait is thrown out to catch votes
the primary spirit behind the whole
movement is McComas for Senator.
The State of Maryland has already
had an unfortunate experience with
its senior member of the upper body
of the National Legislature and we
think that Our people have gained
enough insight to know that he is
not the proper man to represent us.
The present disgraceful scenes which
are being enacted at Republican
County Conventions throughout the
State show that even a portion Of
his own party is attempting TO throw
off his yoke of leadership, hut as lie
has the ear of the Administration, it
is now apparent that he will DC sn-
preme in control, SO cverv Democrat
should remember that when ne is
considering the ACCESSIBILITY ofcasting
a personal vote for any ofthe Repub-
lican nominees that he is recording
his sentiment in favor of the present
regime. 1t is true that the question
is presented in the shape OF what
we might call sugar coated pill,
but it is McComas first, last
and all should the Republicans be
successful.
The political lines i'll this county
will be sharply drawn and an aggres-
sive campaign may be expected. 1t
is important that we look to the
parts of our ticket where we may ex-
pect the attacks Of our adversaries.
We do not want to lose single man
from top to bottom and the Demo-
Gratis will have to work in unison if
they wish to hold Hartford in line
with its old time majority. Wehave
nothing to fear if we stick together
and stand by the ticket. 1t is more
than a mere personal contest and
should not be considered as a time
for casting complimentary votes.
The Democratic party is in control
and we must keep it there.
