AMERICAN POPE, POSSIBLY.

A Rome cablegran to the New York
World quotes Cardinal oregla, the Gamer
lengo. or chamberlain of the Vatican, as
saying that the spiritual power OF tho
Pope is waning In Italy, because OF the
eternal controversy about temporal
mower. He thinks Cardinal Gibbons
election TO the papacy would end all this.
We quote:
"a foreign cardinal, on becoming Pope.
could easily renounce temporal power
without loss Of dignity or consistency.
because. as a foreigner. he could not
claim any right to rule as a sovereign
over even small part of Italy. Hence
his .renouncing all claims and rights
would be the only natural course for
him.
mo European cardinal could be Sc
lected 10 succeed Pope Leo, for fear OF
international complications between Italy
and some European government over the
temporal jurisdiction.
'The only solution OF the difficulty
would be the selection OF Cardinal Glib
hons for the important position. He is.
as YOU know, an American, and his cleo
ton al Pope would bring to the church
The Influence and the power and the
wealth of the numerous and earnest

That is great encouragement for
the poor spoilers, but 1t is mighty
poor doctrine for the Iowa City Repub-
lican to preach. But then Brant lives
within the shadow of the great univer-
sity where they teach higher learning
regardless of whether or not the stu
dents are grounded in the elementary
studies. The writer recalls statement
made by Professor Wilcox Of the de-
partment of history, after an exami-
nation. "Out of all the papers handed
in there were but two or three that
would allow a scholar to pass from the
grammar room to the high school, but
what can I do? l am hired to teach
history and all the other professors
have special lines, and SO we graduate
students who could not write one page
and have it dramatically correct to
save their lives We have no reason
to think the state university is any
different from other institutions of
higher learning, but 1t is to be deplore1
that the faculties cannot recognize That
everyone needs spelling. while not one
in a thousand really needs some OF the
higher branches that are taught. Inc
educational world moves slowly.

A BRAVE ILLINOIS SHERIFF.

When the sheriff of Vermillion coun-
~, Illinois, standing between his pris-
oners and anarchy beating with batter
ing rams at the doors Of the Danville
Jail decimated the mob with a shotgun
loaded with buckshot, he did his simple
duty as an officer of the law and citi-
zen of his state. The mob had demol-
ished police station, dragged out its
victim and killed him cruelty. Fired
with the taste of blood 1t assaulted the
county Jail as pack OF wolves might
storm at a sheepfold. Sheriff Whit
lock met 1t determinedly shotgun in
hand. slew two of its number and
wounded manys and when the mob had
seen its own blood 1t fed like a
wounded wolf.
The Illinois sheriff and the governor
of Indiana have the proper system of
mob suppression. A murderous mob
is wild beast and no more amenable
to argument or admonishment than a
TaDlQ uCS. OutaWed by It's own dlSre-
gard of law and deaf to all persuasion
except toward violence 1t appears nee
essary to meet it with force and shoot
Il; to death In the act of It's lawlessness.
Its personnel is not matter for con-
sideration. Whoever lends himself to
crime accepts the penalty of his wrong
doing. The supremacy of the law must
be maintained and IL the epidemic of
mob murder which appears to be
sweeping the northern states is to be
checked there should be no pickering
with the lawless nor pa!liation of their
crime. Bloodshed is always to be
avoided If possible, but more sheriffs
like Whitlock. with the courage to kill
fin defense of the law. are needed to
teach the mob Difference to order. True
there are widows and orphans at Dam
vile since Whitlock rained his buckshot

upon the thronged 1awbrcakers who at

not by the action of the sheriff, but by
the mob that forced him to defend his
prisoners.
There are others to blame beside thu
actual perpetrators of violence. There
is prevalent Il loosenessi of expression
almost as guilty as the violence it fos-
ters There is conformation of lynch law
il the criminal has deserved punish
ment. There is general carelessness
of legal procedure. If thu public is con-
WINGED that justice has been done,
which makes for disregard of law.
More than this. in the case of the ne
groes there has been TOO much ex-
pressed sympathy for the whites of the
south as against the burden of negro
ignorance and crime with which the
south has been saddled. We have en-
bued the idea that impudence in ne
gro is capital crime.
There must be no division of legal
rights in the north. The negro while
a criminal must have the same protec-
ton against lynch law and an equal
right to a fair trial for crime of what
ever nature. II. 1t is necessary to de-
fend them with shotguns and buckshot

LARGER APPROPRIATIONS NeeDE 0.

II the rule limiting the establishment
OF rural free delivery routes to COM
munities of not less than 100 families
is strictly enforced there are many
peighborhoods in the prairie states
which will wait long FOR their daily
service. The average rural mail route
in Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas and Me-
braska will fall below the required
number. 1t is not likely, however, that
routes already in operation will be dis
turbed, providing always that the
roads are kept in psssable condition
and the average of mail received is
sufficient to show proper appreciation
of the service. There will be wide
spread disappointment and dissatisfac-
ton with Mr.. Bristow's expressed in
tention to confine new routes entirely
to the thickly settled districts, but
sweeping adjustment of routes in OPP
Grafton would arouse unqualified re-
sentiment.
Mr.. Bristow's theory Of the greatest
service to the greatest number is I'M
der the circumstances absolutely cor
rect. The petitions for routes outran
the appropriation ard the larger COM
munities naturally take precedence I'M
der the rules of the department. There
is but one remedy for TIE conditions as
they exist, which is to make larger APP
preparations for rural free mail deliv-
cry. 1t is impossible to make a general
free delivery of mail with an appropri-
alton so utterly inadequate as the one
which is now nearly exhausted within
the first six months; of the year The
current appropriation of $12,ooo,0oo
needs to be increased so per cent at
least to take care Of the routes already
viewed and recommended.
No doubt there will be an effort made
to break down the 100 families rule
during the next session. 1t will be suc-
cessful If it carries with 1t the money
needed for wide open policy. A bet
ter movement would be toward uni
yersal free delivery to all communities
able to muster seventy-five boxes.
Sooner or later the latter policy will
prevail and the Minnesota and Kansas
congressman. who are worst hurt by
the enforcement Of the 100 box rule,
would find the west and south supports
ing such proposition should they
open their fight along tits line. Rural
free delivery is here not only to stay,
but to become practically universal.

LOOKS FOOLISH.

1t looks rather foolish to us to see
so many Iowa republican newspapers
"chewing the rag" over the party's po-
sition on the tariff question. That mat
ter has been settled by the state con-
vention and settled to the satisfaction
OF the party. What difference does 1T
make whether this man had to recede
and this man didn't and this paper did
recede and this paper didn't recede.
The question now is, what is to be the
size OF our majority? The campaign
will be opened in due time and 1t is the
duty of every republican to see that
Governor Cummins' majority Is made
as large as possible. When the CAM
paign is opened it will be opened By
Governor Cummins, and the Eagle has
no fear but he will open it to the sat-
inafction of the party adherents and In

COMPETITIVE CONSULAR APPOINTMENTS

The National Business League is
Dushing the interests OF the bill to re-
YrganiEe the United States consular
Nervice with view to increasing Its
Efficiency in the promotion and devel-
Dpnlent of American foreign commerce.
The leagues desire is to raise the con-
nlar service above political patronage
70 the extent that consulates may not
bemain rewards for partisan political
teryices. but for faithfulness and COM
petence. The league would make the
pfficial life of United States consul
dependent upon fitness rather than
favor.
The last congress provided for the
classification of consuls into six classes
and of consuls general into four classes,
all of whom are to be compensated
wholly by salaries, and the consular
fees are to be turned into the treas
ury. Two consuis general of the first
class may receive $4,000 each, eight Of
the second class $4,000 each, thirteen of
the third $4,000 each and thirteen OF
7he fourth $500 each. The salaries OF
aonsuls will range from $4,000 to $1,000
4 year. Certain minor consuls, who are
10 be paid by fees not exceeding $1,000
\ year. are excepted from the provis-
Ions of the bill. All vacancies in the
higher grades are to be filled by pro-
motion from the grades below, and
when a vacancy is to be filled in the
lowest grade the fact is to be certified
No a board of consular examiners, con-
Mstlng of the civil service commission
and a consul. This board Is to, hold
competitive examinations and certify
five names to the president, with de-
hailed reports on their qualifications
efcr his information" From them the
president is expected, tho he is not alb
Solutely required, to make his selection.
The examinations are to be based upon
English branches and the French, Ger
man or Spanish languages. When the
ronsular Office makes knowledge of the
Fundamental principles of law necessa-
~ these will be included in the exami-
nation.
The movement in favor of the bill is
not derogatory or directed at the pres
ent consular force of the United States.
It is an endeavor to place the service
on a business plane, where incompe-
rents may be weeded out and valuable
ccnsuls retained indefinitely to the good
OF the service irrespective of partisan
victory or defeat at home. The bill is
in the line of good policy and will be
opposed only by the spoilsmen and pat
ronage purveyors.
