To Punish Lenroot.

An attempt is being made by sew
eral of the papers in the state to be-
little the standing and influence of
Congressman Lenroot OF this dis
trict, simply because some of his
recommendations are being ignored.
The reason is obvious. He refused
to be controlled by Cannon aud
Aldrich, ard he is now being SUBJ
ject to humiliation because the ap-
pointments in which he is interes led
are not made by the administration
The latest and by far the most i'm
portant appoin tment to be made by
the new Congressman thus far is
that of Supervisor of Census. Mr..
Lenroot recommended George 1.
Weldon formerly Superintendent of
Schools of Pierce County. but the
powers appointed Lester B. Dresser
Of Centuria, man who was refused
reappointment on the State Board
of Control because of his connection
with the disbursement department
of the Stephenson campaign last
fall. A denial by Mr.. Lenroot that
ne had anything to do with the APP
pointment of Mr.. Dresser seems
hardly necessary, for all who know
our Congressman have too much re-
gard for his honesty to even believe
that he had hand in such a deal.
Mr.. Lenroot will not suffer by the
arrangement, but it does appear
strange that the very qualifications
that President Taft decreed should
be possessed by all appointees in
the census department are lacking
in Mr.. Dresser. The people of this
district know their Congressman.
They know that he is too big a man
to be bought off by a few paltry ap-
pointments. He can do more good
for his district by casting one good
honest vote against the Cannon and
Aldrich gang. and by that vote help
to clean them out, then he could do
if he had all the patronage in the
state.

TO HOLD TWO CONSISTOR|ES
SUDDEN CHANGE IN POPE'S
PLANS ANNOUNCED.
One Set of Cardinals to Be Named in
December and Another in
the Spring.

ROME. October 21-While the pope
only recently seemed determined not to
have a consistory until 1870 it is now
suddenly announced that one will be held
about the middle of December and an
other next spring. 1t Is added that the
reason for holding two consistories is for
the purpose Of appointing as cardinals In
the second consstory certain prelates
who cannot be included in the first.
Strict secrecy Is being maintained re-
garding the names of those whom it is
intended to elevate, but 1t is known that
Mgr. Mendes Bello. patriarch of Lisbon,
will receive the red hat in December, and
it is also considered certain that Mgr
Bisleti, papal major-domo, will be elevated
in the spring.
Regarding the appointment of a new
American cardinal, Archbishop arley of
New York. Archbishop Ireland OF st.
Paul, and Archbishop C'Connell of Bos-
ton are considered the most likely can
didates, while 1t is reported also that an
American cardinal may be named as a
member of the Curia, and therefore will
live in Rome.
Others likely to receive the red hat in
either consistory are the most Rev.
Francis Bourne. Archbishop of Westmin-
ster; Mgr. Falconio. apostolic dele at
Washington, Mgr. Giustini, secretary of
the congregation OF bishops: Mgr. Della
Chiesa, Archbishop of Bologna, and the
archbishops Of Buenos Aires and Flor

are members of wealthy families, which
in his opinion, discredits the belief that
the disease is prevalent only among the
poorer classes.
Some afflicted with the hook worm are
members of the university foot ball team
and the physicians say the hook worm is
undoubtedly responsible for the poor
showing the team Is making. as one effect
OF the parasite Is extreme physical slug
