The Pope and the Newspapers.

I CAN remember time when the American
newspapers rarely ever published anything
about the Pope and the Roman Catholic do
ings
How different it is today. All the Protest
ant dailies are full of Papa. The old Italian
gentleman holds more space in our press re-
ports than any potentate on earth.
Why? Because the cunning priests have
gained control Of the Associated Press, and
nearly every other news agency.
Every celebration Of the Roman church,
every street parade, every military mass"
gets prominence and space
On the other hand, the Protestants are al
most debarred from the daily papers. When
the insolent priests were viruently and SLAM
derously attacking the Methodists, concerning
their mission work in Rome, the papers pub
lished these attacks throughout the country,
butony few papers published the Methodist
reply,
When the Baptists held their magnificent
convention in Philadelphia, few weeks ago,
the Associated Press gave it the briefest men
ton. But let jim Gibbons celebrate jubilee,
or anything else, and the daily papers are
loaded down with descriptions and ilIustra-
tons.
Great God! Why are the Protestant
preachers so blind to the steady encroachment
of this foreign and idolatrous priesthood?
Why are newspapers, 0a0ned and controlled
By Protesta1,ts, so willing to advance the cause
of this hierarchy, which has ever been the
deadly enemy of civil religious liberty? Of
freedom of speech, and of conscience? Of
education and Bile reading? And which has
shed the blood of fifty million human beings,
in the effort to stamp out resistance to their
pagan creed and ceremonial?
1t passes my comprehension Some day
there will be the vastest, bloodiest religious
war, in this country, that ever drenched the
earth with innocent blood.

Not New-The Referendum and Recall.

~~~~~~~~~A~~
COME folks seem to think that the above
- named principles are modern novelties.
Not so. They are as old as the hills. They were
spractised in ancient Greece thousand years
ago. Don't you remember that Aristides, the
just was "recalled," and sent into exile, under
that system?
An illiterate fellow not knowing Aristides
brought to the Philosopher the shell-the
Grecian form of ballot-and asked him to
write his name on it.
"What have you against Aristides?" the
philosopher inquired.
'Nothing," answered the man. "but [ am
tired of hearing him called 'z'he Just.'"
That saying has become proverbial.
On one occasion when it was done at Liberty
Hall, Mr. Stephens alluded pensively to it,
quoting it in relation to his lessened popular
ity as compared to Ben Hill, Gen. Gordon and
other idols of the hour. In his thin, high
pitched voice, the venerable statesman said.
''You know, Mr. Watson, the people grew
tired Of hearing Aristides called 'Ihe Jast'"
In the Roman SYSTEM there were traces of
the Recall; and the principle of direct legls-
lation was in full blast, up to the time when
the Empire superseded the Republic
In the first constitution of the State of
Georgia, more than century ago, the Refer
endum is embraced. Historians will tell you
that this was the first time the principle was
made a part of modern written constitution.
Mr.. j. w. Dutton, writing to Mr. Louis
Posts The Public reminds us that the Articles
of Confederation which were superseded by
our present .. S. Constitution, contained the
following provisions:
art. Y. For the convenient management
of the general interests of the United States,
delegates shall be annually appointed in such
manner as the Legislature of each state shall
direct, to meet in Congress on the first Mon
day in November, in every year, with power
reserved to each state to recall its delegates, or
any of them, at any time within the year, and
to send others in their stead for the remainder
of the year,
This is certainly interesting; but Mr.. Dali
ton errs In saying: "This is where we get the
recall"
We get the recall from antiquity-the
source of nearly all of our ideas, customs, wit
ticisms, anecdotes, folk lore stories &c.
There is nothing new under the sun. It, i

What President Roosevelt Ought to Have
Done in 1907.
HAVE you forgotten how the Morgan Steel
Trust crowd brought on the panic of
1902
There wasn't cloud on the commercial sky.
There were neither wars nor rumors of war.
The crops we're abundant. The song of Hope
resounded throughout the land.
Then-like Handicapped from an azure
sky Came the dread word PANIC.
When the Grecian NEUROLOGICAL god, Pan,
died, women rushed hither and thither,
throughout Attica, crying, "The great god,
tearing their hair
Ever since that time, terrible fear among
the people has been called "a panic"
Thus it happened, in 1907, that demoralza-
ton and fright took possession of our country
Men who had money in the New York banks
could not draw it out. Under our infamous
law Of Reserve Banks, the money of the corn-
try had been drawn into Wall Street. Having
cornered the available cash, Wall Street re-
fused to allow it to circulate. Consequently,
when all OF us needed money, and none of us
could get 1t, We became panic-stricken
What IS the sole cause Of all panics?
TIE LICK OF MONEY.
WhGt IS the cure Of all punics? ILL., e
4 SUPPLY OF MONEY.
Listen, my son:
In 1893, the Bank of England contracted
its issues of notes, and caused'a panic. How
was it stopped? The Government issued Ex-
chequer Bllls-treasury notes-to the amount
Of about S12,0O0,000. The effect was instan-
taneous and magical; the panic passed away,
as suddenly as it had come.
In 1926, the Bank of England caused an
other panic By contracting the currency. The
Bank itself became alarmed and suddenly re-
versed it's policy. About $25 900 of new
money was issued and the panic aoas imamae-
diatezy checked.
In 1873, we had an awful panic, caused by
the cornering of the available supply of cash
by Jim Fisk and Jay Gould. Hoao did the
Government stop the panic?
BY ISSUING $26OO0,O00 OF GREEN
BACKS.
Under the laws of 1923 any President of
the United States can, at any time, issue
Greenbacks to the amount of $1O4,OOO,OOO.
Therefore, any President can, at any time,

[ went to the White House, in 1907, at
Roosevelt's invitation, and cited him to the
law, and to the various instances when panics
had been stopped by the issuance of more
money.
But j. P. Morgan also went to the White
House; and it was Morgan who influenced the
President.
The Morgan interests got the Tennessee
Coal and Iron Company without having to
pay cent in cash. The Steel Trust exchanged
$29,0OO,0O0 of its second mortgage bonds for
the Tennessee concern, whose property is
worth at least 5000 100000.

Keeping the Mind Clear.
From Success Magazine.


Working or thinking without system en-
feebles the mind and leaves the mental
faculties ma clogged condition so that
they do not work sharply. The mind
must be kept clear and clean for the
present problem, so that it may seize and
grasp with all Its might the thing it is
attempting to accomplish.
There is only one best way to learn
how to act: that way is the way O. sys-
TEN. systematic your thoughts, your
energies, your abilities. Learn early -,
life to do this. and 1t will prove the mas
ter habit that wins success.
Systemless men are always surprised
that the heads of great enterprises can
find so much time for social life. for hob
bies, for travel. They cannot understand
ii at all. They do not realize that a
man of great organizing ability. with a
splendid system. can do more effective
business in single hour at nis Office
than a systemless man can accomplish

but the effectiveness Of the system that
tells.
One OF the advantages of college
course Is that 1t trains the mind to
work by system. Whether he likes 10
or not, the student is forced to concen-
trate his mind when the time comes. no
matter what his mood. or how he feels.

Much interest was manifested in real
estate circles this week over the con-
test which appears to he pending be-
tween the CAPITAL Traction Company
and the Baltimore and Washington Tran
sit COMPANY over the question of the ex-
tension by the former to the latter OF the
transfer privilege at the intersection of
the two lines at 18th and Kennedy
streets Operators in suburban real estate
along the route of the Kennedy street
line naturally are pressing to the front
strongly in advocacy of a free transfer
system, because the onening of the Ken
nedy street line last Sunday and its
fare for the ride from the downtown
section into the property to the east of
18th street and all the way to
Takoma Park means that a wide area
which at the present time is but sparsely
settled will be thrown open for de-
velopment
Three different solutions were suggest
ed for the problem of securing through
service for the patrons of the Kennedy
street linc-one being the enforced or
voluntary exchange of free transfers be-
tween the Capital Traction Company $
IflH street me dIlu TIE heHHcuy StICCl
line, another being the likewise enforced
or voluntary extension of trackage
privileges by the Capital Traction Com
pany to the Baltimore and Washington
Transit Company. so that the latter s
cars might run all the way to the Treas
ury, and another being the building by
the Baltimore and Washington Transit
Company of an independent line down
! 18th street and into the business center.
May Build Line in 18th Street.
If the third course should be found
to be necessary because the attorneys
sit Company do not succeed in establish
ing their contention that the law of 1894
is sufficient by it's terms to compel the
Capital Traction Company either to ex-
change transfers to extend trackage
facilities, 1t is stated that the extension
of the tracks into 18th street will be
made by way of Petworth, so that a
large area of the District lying on the
diagonal line between Takoma Park and
18th street may be served by the new
line.
Comparatively little trouble would be
experienced in laying even a line Of
such length through the city. it is
claimed. because the Baltimore and
Washington Transit Company uses E.di-
son storage batteries for motive power
and for this reason it would not be neceS-
sary to provide the deep trenches for the
underground trolley. and for the same
reason in the outlying sections just as 1t

PARIS. September 1.-The maneuvers
OF the French army for the year will
take place in the district around st.
Quentin, Bethel Cernay and Compiegne
from September Il to September ~
The operations will be divided into two
periods Of three separate days. with one
days rest as an interval
The number of troops taking part will

periods OF the miniature war both armies
will be provided with dirigible balloons,

fleet also will participate.
In the second portion Of the maneuvers
the whole body of 5000 men will oper-
ate against a supposed enemy. The
theme is as follows: War has broken

overhead trolley would not be required.
The present line of the Baltimore and
Washington Transit Company extends
ing through Kennedy street and along
Sd street to Carroll avenue and across
the District line into Maryland to Ia
koma Park. This line Is about three
miles in length and 1t Is particularly OF
value not only because 1t opens a way
for residents of Takoma Park to reach
the center of the city by a second line.
but because ii opens to settlement all OF
the territory between Brightwood Park
and Takoma Park.
The franchise of the company in Mary
land is especially broad and valuable,
because under its provisions the COM
pany has the privilege of laying tracks
and operating a line all the way into
baltimore And while the road is now
operating under a receivership. 1t Is
claimed that it is within the possibilities
that an extension will be made
through the quite populous territory in
Maryland as far as Burnt Mills.
Interest in Chillum Castle Heights.
Active interest, both in the opening of
the Kennedy street line and in the contest
over the exchange Of transfers, is being
taken by the Realty and Investment Com
pany of this city, whose new subdivision,
Chillum Castle Heights, for considerable
distance parallels the new railroad. The
marketing of lots in ,Chillum Castle
Heights began a little more than a
month ago. and in the Offices of the COM
pany yesterday 1t was stated that total
of siXty-four lets already have been sold.
In addition to being on the line of the
new railroad, the hackers of Chillum
Castle Heights see a very decided ad-
vantage In the fact that the southern
edge of their property lies on the line OF
Shepherd road Oregon avenue). which is
the northern boundary of the permanent
speedway as projected by the Burnham
commission.

NEW OCEAN TERROR
PLANNED BY RUSSIAN
Submarine Cruiser With Is
Knots Speed to Carry
80 Torpedo Tubes.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON, September IA submarine
cruiser. 400 feet long and displacing When
submerged 5.43a tons. has been designed
nv Russian naval engineer named
Shuravieff The designs are now being
considered by the Russian government
No submarine vessel yet built has a
displacement of more than 7Oo tons. and
the 1.OOO-ton mark is just being reached
in this country and in Germany with
vessels laid down this year.
NJ. shuravieff's design is really for a
protected cruiser, which can be SUBJ
merged when required. When steaming
on the surface it's displacement would be
200 tons, while engines capable of de-
welcoming a maximum horsepower of 1900
would aive an estimated speed of twenty
five knots.
The apparatus with which the vessel is
fitted in the designs would enable her to
sink in three minutes. and when below
the surface internal combustion motors
of 4. 100 horsepower would give maxi
mum speed of fourteen knots. The fast
est submarines yet built are the British
vessels of the D class, which can make
sixteen knots on the surface and nine
when submerged.
Thirty Torpedo Tubes.
The submarine cruiser will be equipped
with FIVE 4.7-inch guns. so mounted that
when the ship is about to descend they
can easily be slowed away below decks.
The vessel will also have the unprece-
dented armament Of thirty torpedo tubes.
all of which will. of course be available
in either the surface or submerged condi-
tons.
Hitherto the greatest number of tor
pedo tubes mounted in submarines Is
seven. this number being carried by the
French Archimede, Charles Brun and
Admiral Bourgeois. No British boats have
more than three. and most only two.
The Shuravie6 submarine cruiser will

also be furnished with 12D submarine
mines. which she will be able to lay In
the form of a field without coming to the
surface at all.
The value Of the boat for blockade
work-should she be adopted and prove
successful--.would be enormous. since she
would be able to get into harbor unseen,
discharge sixty torpedoes at the vessels
