prevent the election of enemies CT law
and order. This official note caused a
bit of sensation all over Italy. be-
cause it clearly states that the diff
culties and claims regarding the tenn
poral rower of the holy see are still in
existence, and that the papacy does
not intend to relinquish it's claims.
Eight or more Catholics were sent
to parliament because of the pope's
permission that Catholics might vote.
and for a time there was talk of the
probable formation of a Catholic CEN
ter party in the parliament, modelled
after that in the German reichstag.
However, the authorities soon per-
ceived that the scheme would prove
Italy, because the socialists and repub-
licans recently organized an opposi-
ton party whose aim was the defeat
of all Catholic candidates in political
elections. Because of this the vatican
authorities have recently made it
publicly known that there is not the
least intention on their part to con-
struct Catholic center party in the
parliament. and that permission to vote
at political elections will only be
granted in special needs.
Plus X does not claim to be a diplo-
mat. His very frankness is against
any diplomatic tendencies on his part,
but his sincere determination to look
for the interests of religion and for
them only has now persuaded every
body that he will succeed and gain his
POINT, although by different means
than his predecessor.
In only five years of reign he has
completely reformed the central adj
of the church. and it is
believed that Plus X. will leave the
church and religion in better condi-
ton at the end of his pontificate than
he found them when elected pope five
years ago.
Cardinal Gibbons, of Baltimore, was
one OF the principal visitors at the
VaTcan today. Greetings were ex-
tended by all the military and lay Of
hclals of Rome and several college
prelates. AS these dignitaries passed
in review before the pope the great
audience chamber of the vatican pre-
scented a brilliant scene.

BABY GIRL CRIED
AND SCRATCHED
All the Time-Torturing Eczema
Covered Her Body-CouId Not
SIeep-Doctor Said Sores Would
Last for Years-Skin Now Clear,
CURED IN THREE MONTHS
BY CUTICURA REMEDIES

II take great pleasure in telling you
what a great help it was for me to use
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment
for my baby niece. She was suffering
from that terrible torture, eczema. It
was all over her body but the worst was
on her face and hands. Her hands were
so bad that she could not hold anything.
She cried and scratched all the time and
could not sleep night or day from the
scratching. / had her under the doc
tors care for a year and q half and he
seemed to do her no good. ] took her
to the best doctor in the city and he said
that she would have the sores until she
was six years old. But if / had de-
pended on the doctor my baby would
have lost her mind and died from the
want Of aid.
II used all the remedies that every
body told me about and tortured the
child almost to death. Then l saw in
the paper how Cuticura was the thing
for Irritating skin. / bathed her with
warm water and Cuticura Soap and used
the Cuticura Ointment. She was cured
in three months. Now her skin is as
clear and smooth as it could be. shall
recommend the use Of Cuticura wherever
I see the skin in bad condition. Alice

HAWAIIAN
LAND LAWS
HOW SETTLERS CAN OBTAIN
LANDS IN PACIFIC PAR
ADISE.

HONOLULU. T. H, August 4.-The
land commissioner of the territory has
just issued, with the approval or the
governor a new form Of contract to
govern the future sale of public lands
suitable for general agricultural pur-
suit of much careful study Of condi-
tions and have met with general popu-
lar approval.
The prime object of the rules is to
secure a distribution of the available
lands of the territory on the several
islands to the best ultimate benefit of
the country and in order to accom-
plish this a system Of hOmesteading
has been devised which it is believed
will appeal to bonafide American set
tiers, and at the same time keep the
land out of the hands of spectators
or land grabbers.
Under the present land laws all
public auction, but the governor has
considerable discretion relative to con-
dition of sale, and by imposing long
term of residence on the lands taken
up it is believed that the question of
money will not play any injurious part
through prices being bid beyond the
reach of the poor man.
The more important conditions of
settlement are as follows: The set
tier may not obtain patent to his
land in less than ten years, during
which time he must have resided on
the property not less than five years
in the aggregate. He may however
have 20 years in which to pay for it
in case he wishes.
At the time of taking up the land
he is required to pay per cent of the
purchase price, and at the end of two
years another per cent. and thereaf-
ter 5 per cent annually until it is paid
for. After ten years. interest at per
cent is added to the amount of the
purchase price still unpaid but if the
other conditions have been complied
with, the total debt at this time may

UNIVERSAL REJOICING TODAY
THROUGHOUT THE CATHOLIC

ROME; Aug. Pope Plus y. today
ciinpieted the fifth year Of his reign as
the head of the Roman Catholic church
and the day was marked with universal
rejoicing throughout Rome and Italy.
At the vatican the anniversary was OBJ

an address of congratulation in which
he wished the pope many more years

never spoiled the practical mind of the
new rontiff
Plus X has found his path beset with
difficulties of all sorts. The war
against the religious orders in France
with the French officials, which led to
the suspension of diplomatic relations
between the French government and
the holy see and to the separation of
church and state, have created for the
present pope a new situation which,
no matter how unexpected and unusual
he is going to face with an eye to the
best interests of the church in France.
A general impression prevails here
that since the accession of Plus X re-
lations between the vatican authori-
ties and the Italian government have
improved considerably. This has late
ly been proved by the extraordinary
kindness of the pope towards Italian
officials and by the general directions
sent from the vatican to all Catho-
lies of Italy to take part in the politi
cal elections of their country Such
action was forbidden by the late Plus
TX, in the memorable decree "non ex-
pedit' issued by the congregation of
the holy office. For thirty-five years
no good Catholic of Italy would violate
the papal decision. Under the late
pope, the decree was modified to allow
Catnollcs to vote at the municipal |
elections of their towns. thus provid- !
leg every village and province with a |
number of Catholic aldermen and
counselors, a plan which produced good
results and enabled the Catholics in !
towns and provinces to prevent the in |
PRODUCTION of municipal or provincial !
ordinances of a character inimical TO !
the church.
But it was only under the present
pope that the Italian Catholics were |
urged to take active part in the politi-
cal elections of the country, and this
TACT gave rise to the opinion that Plus
X, and finally retired the decree Of
non expedit" issued by his predeces-
sors and desired that hereafter Catho
lies should take an interest in political
elections That such is not the case an
pears from an official note issued bv
the Osservatore Cattolico of Milan. one
Of the most prominent Catholic papers.
The note, evidently issued under vati-
can auspices, cleariny states that the
non eXpedit' is not abrOgated and
that only in special cases will Cath
olics be allowed to take part in the
elections of Italy; whenever their CO.

they won a year ago by defeating the

was showered upon the Milwaukeeans
at Philadelphia last year.
