How Will 1t All End2

The annual exodus from the sea-
side and mountains to the cities is at
its height Every incoming train
bears to the local stations heavy loads
of our best women folks. The men
have been home these many weeks
grubbing around to pay the bills In
the old days we used to deny that
the crowded mart cmptied itself for
the hot months, but what was merely
theoretical then has become actual
now. as many q clicking latch-key
echoing through an empty house bears
testimony.
This is the spectacular migration.
simultaneously another exodus is in
progress which involves even more
serious problems and will lead to
more serious results. The poor of the
rural districts are everywhere making
their way TO the towns and the we'll
TODD of the towns are everywhere
making their way to the country.
The suburbs of any Eastern city to-
day accommodate twice the number
of people who liveG there ten years
ago. The story told at the cross
roads is everywhere to this one effect
that all the young women. as well
as the young men. are fighting their
way into the cities.
Meanwhile in the cities themselves
the tide seems to be restlessly work
ing away from the older business dis
tricts. Residence streets of yester-
day are today's most popular mar
kets. Today's hilIsides Will be leveled
tomorrow and covered with houses
next week And the hole this expan-
sion leaves at the heart of the city
is the only accommodation open tc
those young people crowding in from
the open air and the bright sunlight
How will it all end? There is g
fine question to consider this Sunday
morning in September.

success; and it has in some PLACES
been believed that elaborate ap-
pliances in the way of charts and sets
of objects were necessary in order
to teach children to read and write
and learn the multiplication table.
Sensible parents are now beginning
to wonder whether their teachers
were so far out of the way. after all,
in their old-fashioned methods. There
are undoubtedly nine and sixty ways
OF constructing tribal lays, or teach
ing primary classes 10 read, but some
of us feel that the shortest and
simplest and cheapest way is most
likely TO be right

France Seems AffrOnted
By the PapaL Secretary
Bitter Antagonist Against Cardinal Merry
del Val Threatens to Drive Him From
Official Position at the Vatican.

ROME. Sept 10-There is persistent
rumor in Vatican circles that the posi-
zion OF the youthful secretary of state
is preearious one at present Not be-
cause the Pope mas lost confidence it
him, but because of the attitude of the
French government toward him.
II IS stated on good authority that
even if the pending negotiations between
the French government and the Vatican
for modihSatloc of the concordat prove
successful, France will never consent
that the Spanish prelate remain in his
position. IT is said that Cardinal del
Val has wounded the susceptibflties Of
the French officials. and that. being no
longer persona grata, his services will
have 70 be dispensed with BY the Pope.
Some of the cardinals are openly OPP
posed to him also, and several of the
older and more experienced members
Of the Sacred College think his appoint
ment by Pope Plus Y TO the most i'm
portant position TO have been the great
est mistake of the new pontihcate.
The youth of Cardinal del Val is felt
20 be a main obstacle to his securing
prestige in the Curia, and his Spanish
nationality causes umbrage and sus-
piciOn in his intercourse with foreign
governments. In Italian political cir
cles. Cardinal del Val is considered an
extremist against reconciliation between
the Vatican and the government. and
in tho policy of the Holy See in the
matter is generally attributed to the ex-
IRENE views of the secretary of state.
Cardinal Caricatured.
The Italian daily papers, and to a
greater extent the French papers, are
making the young secretary OF state
the subject Of caricatures and '.mots
d'esprit." and this tends to increase the
dislike in which he is held by the masses
Of the people.
The Pope. because of his exalted posi-
ton, is seldom made the direct object of
such criticism. and all his failures to
please are usually laid at the door Of his
secretary Of state.
Recently, when NJ. Pidal was appoint
cd Spanish ambassador at the Vatican,
the whole press of Italy and France de-
nounced the appointment as a scheme
concOcted by the cardinal and the Jesuit
general, Father Martin, 70 control mat
tiers at the Vatican in the interest Of the
Spanish government. the reason being
alleged that the ambassador and the
Jesuit general had been lifelong friends.

affect the cardinals opinion very much,
so long as the Pope viii find II possible
10 keep him in the Vatican without en-
danEering the affairs OF the church with
foreign powers.
A decision has been reached by the
Congregation of the Holy ONCE in the
case against Mgr. L. Nerdez, bishop Of
Dion Like all DEGREES Of the Inquisi-

That Pensacola Bear.


We note with some surprise the
prominenee given IN the newspapers
to the presence OF a bear in court
room in Florida The story is not
without what the theatrical man and
publisher eall heart interest" but
we do not think there is enough of
that to explain the newspaper alb
sorption in the case. However, the
reader shall judge for himself from
the following account, taken from our
news columns of yesterday:
Pensacola, Fla. sept. lo.-'The dignity Of
Judge Landrdmi's ccuB was disturbed yesterday
bv tame bear. which an enterprising Snowman
had brought 10 iussf-
During ia. d6s the ben escaped and found
its way through The back door Of the court room
while case was being heard.
When the bear entered -he back door the
jadge, jury. lawyers, htigants. and spectators
went out the front way.
Our wonder is inspired by every
feature of the story.
We have not noted that bears were
unusual attendants on the sittings OF
court. We have seen them crowd
ing their neighbors and shaking their
heads in the benches reserved for
spectators. We have seen them do
Intellectual dances within the railing
reserved for members of the bar. We
have even seen them take unoffend-
ing and timid witnesses between their
teeth and nearly shake their heads
OF. Yet we did not observe any sur
prise.
This bear had the modesty to enter
by the back door. There enters an
inhuman interest The reporter who
started that story on its rounds would
have aided to its humanity had be
pictured the animal jostling women
aside as ne climbed into a street car
and held the end seat; splitting to-
bacco juice ten feet or a rod: wiping
his paws on every clean thing within
his reach; and finally inteTrupting tn,

That kind of a bear. we say, is nC
rare sight in court rooms
But the Pensacola variety entered
by the back door And what hap
pened? Why judge, jury, lawyers
Iitigants, and spectators piled over on
another in the widest alarm. Die
they stop to inquire whether the Wis
itor was of the human species O
merely an inoffending show bear? No
a bit OF it. They knew too well wha
to expect of the human kind and the!
would run no risks. So the trial wa
stopped.
1t will not do to give this tale TOT
pointed a moral No one has an.
idea that real human interest bear
are to be found in Washington. TIL
visitors in cur courts. like the mel
in our street cars, are all of then
examples Of that consideration which
only the noble can feel. But we hop
