POPE Plus is CROWNED.
Seventy Thousand Persons Witness the Coro-
nation Ceremonies In st. Peters.

Rome, Aug. 10-The ceremony of the
coronation of Pope Plus X took place
yesterday in the basilica of St. Peters
in the presence of the princes OF the
church, and with all the solemnity and
splendor associated with this most
magnificent rite in the Roman Catholic
church. AS Cardinal Macchi, dean of
the cardinal-deacons, placed the triple
crown on the head of the venerable
pontiff, the throng of seventy thousand
persons gathered within the cathedral
burst into unrestrained acclamations,
and the choir intoned hymn of
triumph and the bells of Rome rang
out joyful peal.
AS the, pope entered the church a
clerk of 4he papal chapel held up be-
fore him reed surmounted by a
handful of fax. This was lighted;
flashed up for a moment and then
died out at once as the chaplain
chanted: "Peter cancte, sic transit
gloria inundi' (Holy father, thus
passeth away the worlds glory.)
This was done three times. The mass
was then begun as usual, but before
the incensation of the altar the
blessings" of the pontiff-elect were
pronounced by three cardinal-bishops.
each of whom recited a prayer over
him, After the collects came the So
called laudes--that Is, the three-fold
supplications to God for the welfare
Of the new pope.
The coronation itself took place af-
ter the mass, in the balcony over the
portico of st. Peters, overlooking the
great piazzo. The second cardinals
deacon took off the inter, which until
now the pope had worn, and then the
senior cardinal-deacon (MacchD placed
the tiara on his head, and all the peo-
pie cried out, "Kyrie elesion!"
It is fifty-seven years since the
Romans and Europe assisted at such
a function at st. Peters. The great
basilica, popularity supposed never to
have been quite full, was overfiowing
with humanity.

zen will open his eyes with amazement,

Indignation. The question Is, will he
do so in time to avail anything or will
he only lock the door after the horse

A DANGEROUS COMBINATION.
The present system of disposing Of
the public lands is the product of two
too much and those who knew too little.
Selfish enlightenment and unselfish ig-
norance make dangerous team. And
this is the team which has been whirl-
ing the American people to the edge of
the precipice OF land monopoly.
There are strong influences in the
west who want laws that make it easy
for the land to be stolen. Stealing Is
q hard word. Let us call it land klep-
iomania. Then there are strong in
fuences in the east which have been so
busy puttering over tariff and curren-
cy problems as to leave no time to be-
come acquainted with far greater is
sues which actively. involve the econom-
ic liberties of the people.
IRELAND'S WOES A WARNING.
There stands Ireland, emerging after
centuries of bitter and heart breaking
strife from the tolls of land monopoly.
And there stands the great west,
marching steadily into the same hate
full tolls. It is costing the English
government over half a billion dollars
to get out of the predkament which
the American people are now getting
into at an appalling rate--over two
million acres of land going to the
speculator every month, or over twen-
ty four million acres every year..
What will it cost us to stop the
rime before it is too late? The price
of this deliverance is an irresistible
public demand for the repeal of exist
ing land laws. When this has rolled in
upon congress from all parts of the
country, congress will act in response
to the recommendation of the Presi-
dents message. Until then, there is no
hope that it will act.
Remember Ireland! Help the Ameri-
can people to save their heritage before
it is too late!

"The deciding consideration in bring

II have never been politician or a
seeker of political preferment. 1t is
my desire to remain on the bench, but
I haye no aspirations for senatorial,
congressional, gubernatorial or like
honors, and if had should be sadly
handicapped when the territory be-
comes u state among the bright, ener-

some Of the associate justices of the
supreme court of New Mexico, and l.
have ssard from trustworthy sources
OF the otners and am greatly inn
pressed with their judge-like qualities.
1 know that the bar and the people
generally respect them and believe in
them. I have also met number OF the
members of the bar of the territory,
and I have been most favorably inn
pressed with their ability, learning and
high character. With the coming Of
statehood the possibilities of my being
selected for either the federal position
or for the state supreme bench would
be greatly lessened by the long service
and high character of the present bench
and by the greater acquaintance, excel
lent reputation, and fine legal abilities
of the New Mexican bar.
"For these reasons I do not feel that
i; should be justified in resigning my
present position in Michigan and ac-
cepting the appointment rendered.
Il wish to assure you, and through
the columns Of your paper, the people
cf New Mexico, that to turn from this
appointment is not an easy thing to DO.
I wish also to assure you and the resi-
dents of the territory that both Mrs
Smith and 1 are deeply appreciative OF
the more than kind treatment We re-
ceived while in New Mexico and WA
ever have pleasant memories of our vis-
it there.

The following letter from Judge
Clement Smith, who recently declined
the appointment as associate justice Of

his reasons for his refusal Of the posi-

of my decision and of my reasons for

"The cordial reception given my wife

Mexico makes my decision much hard

went we were accorded the most cour-
teous treatment and given unmistak-
able evidences Of a heartfelt welcome.
We were greatly impressed with the
sterling qualities of the people of New
Mexico. Again, while the season of the
year in which we made our journey
was not the most favorable, yet we
could not but be convinced that what
