Cardinal Merry Del Val, papal secre-
tary OF state. Is about to retire as an
outcome OF the representations made
to theevatican by American and Eng

Gibbons and Archbishop Ireland, who
objected TO the secretary,s severe
measures against modernism. Cardi-
nal vannutelli received these COM
plants in London at the eucharistic
congress and transmitted them to tho
pope.

WHEN LAWS ARE ENFORCED.

Many of the citizens who express
do not behave they can be suppressed,
and that therefore, restriction is the
only alternative.
But this view is not borne out by eS-
perience In Kansas, for instance,
when the people of that state declared
for prohibition, fntoxlcants still found
their way into places where they
were sold more or less secretly, be-
cause there were officials who closed
their eyes to violations OF the law. But
the experience of Kansas is that hon
est officials can enforce a righteous law,
and today, it is claimed, there is not
saloon open in all Kansas.
The results of law enforcement in this
regard are very encouraging. An as
sstant attorney general of Kansas q
few days since called the attention OF
the people to one of the results. Vice
SO diminished and crime was SO re-
duced that tile penitcntiary had cells to
spare, and rented ii portion OF the in
stitution 10 Oklahoma. When Okla
homa entered the Union il banished
the saloon, and crime fled the state
with alcohol. The stoppage of the sale
of whisky stopped breaking of the law.
They're negotiating with wet Missouri
with view to renting the Kansas
penitentiary as relief for the over
crowded institution at Jefferson city"
But" says the Los Angeles EX-
press. Missouri will not be long wet
More than half of its counties have al
ready expelled the saloon, and CON
stitutional amendment for statewide
prohibition will be introduced at the
next session of the legislature

PAPER FROM COTTON STALKS.
Los Angeles Exaniner.

At last, so 1t Is reported, the cotton
stalk fs to have commercial value. A
company has been formed at Atlanta
for the purpose of making printing pa
per out of this hitherto worthless weed
OF the Winters farm.
simultaneously with this announce
inent comes the news from the wood
pulp fields, both in wisconsin and Cam
ada, that, owing to the long drought.
the output OF paper has been reduced
one-llalf of the usual normal supply.
one manufacturer at Appleton, Wis, in
the early part of the week declared
that unless there were heavy rains
before the Christmas holidays paper
would be worth Its weight in gold.
Thus 1t is that the cotton stalk. des-
pissed and troublesome adjunct of the
Southern plantation after the fleecy
staple has been picked from It. may
come forward. not only to relieve the
publishers of the country, but to add to
the treasury of the farmer. If 1t be
true that paper can be made from the
stalks, then the rapidly diminishing
forests Of the Northwest will be spared
ravages from the axman.

a NEW MOTOR CAR
Worcester Gazette.

& Here. is something Of novelty in
motor cars 1t originated In India.
Neither chain nor gear drives are used
to transmit the motor power to the
wheels. An air propeller Is attached
at the rear of the car. and drives 1t
forward. u. s. Consul General William
4 n. Mitchell of Calcutta vouchcs for the
existence of such a car. He states that
the secret of the mechanism lies In the
pattern of the propeller. "A speed of
Is miles an hour has been attained on
Calcutta roads with a 5-horsepower
engine. The absence Of wear on the
tires is most marked, and the motion
is perfectly smooth. At present the in
pentlon Is Just passing out of the eS-

suggestion, lent his influence to It's pro-

suggestion, lent his influence to Its pro-
| motion.
Did any Of the leaders OF tho party
oppose Chief PITTS plan? Did tho
| "Amarican colncilmen oppose it2 Did
the American organ have any ad-
verso criticism to offer? Not till later.
There Is no doubt that the Mayor be-
lieved himself in perfect harmony with
the party leaders whom he consulted.
There is no doubt that he was encour-
aged in his reform efforts by party
associates $
AS soon as the general public became
aware of what was going on, protests
We're uttered, and they became loud
er and louder az the rolling thunder.
The press protested. A Republican club
protested. So did the Democratic Jvo
mems club, and, finally. 1t became
clear to the so-called american" lead
ers that public sentiment was against
the plan, and then an American club
sent in a protest When 1t became
evident that the party would loose
prestige and votes, its leaders, panlc-
stricken, deserted the Mayor. An
American caucus held about that time
discussed the matter and agreed to
sacrifice the Mayor. although he virtu-
ally saved the party from wreck af-
ter the storm OF which d former police
chief was the center. These are the
the facts. 1t is In vain for the party
organ to try to hide the American"
origin of the red light" district pro-
position. Whatever ,odium attaches
to it should be charged to the policy
of the party leaders, OF which the
Mayor became the exponent.
And here is where he is entitled to
sympathy. Everyone who knows May
or Bransford knows him to be the very
soul of honor. He Is straight forward,
ISOLATION with less honorable political
advisers he has been abandoned in an
unpleasant situation in which, but for
such advisers, he would never have
found himself.
1t seems to us that the time has come
for the Mayor to yield to public senti-
ment and change his position on the
+ ieA-liSH III uistiGl ouSihess. Is no
dishonor to acknowledge n mistake and
correct it. 1t would also seem that the
time has come to break openly with
party leaders that do not scruple to
sacrifice their friends when policy
their petty interests-demand it. We
have said before and now repeat that
we believe II the Mayor will set aside
party considerations and serve the peo-
pie alone, the people will support him
They will not stand for the establish
nent by their trusted servants Of
\ business contrary to law, but they
will certainly uphold him in every
audable effort for civic and mor-
Al improvement, and they will not
abandon him at every critical moment
Is the party leaders have done.

Dear Brethren: 1T is by no means
Improbable that some future text-b book
for the use OF generations yet unborn,
will contain a question something ike
tAis: What historical American of the
nineteenth century has excrted the
most powerful influence upon the des-
TRIES of his countryinen? And IT Is
by no means impossible that the answer
: To that interrogatory may be thus
written: JOSEPH SMITH, THE
Y MORMON PROPHET
Such was the opinion Of Josiah Quin-
cy in 1874, the year of the nartyrdonl.
The intervening slNtyfour years have
tended to prove not only the greatness
OF Joseph Smith as man, but also the.
divinity of the work he was instrument
tai in establishing. To every member
of the Church, Joseph Smith is not only
the most Historical American OF the
nineteenth century but a true prophet
