MGR. KENNEDY GETS
NUMEROUS INQUIRIES
Rector of American College To Be
Made Cardinal, Is
Report.

ROME, Aug. 30.-Mgr. Kennedy, rec
tor of the American College here and a
recently created bishop, was deluged
with inquiries today concerning reports
that he is the new American cardinal
whom 1t is now tolerably well authen-
ucated the Pope has named. Though
the appointee's name has not yet beer
made public, there were also messages
OF congratulations.
If it is true that another American
cardinal has been created the United
States now has Ave, including Cardinal
Falconio, who was naturalized there.
The others are Cardinals Gibbons, Far
ley, and O'Connell.
The impression here is that the new
cardinal will live in Rome and devote
his attention especially to the promo
ton OF the interests of the parochiaI
schools in the United States.

Imperial Valley press., 1912-09-24

Today the entire civilized world is
wrought up over the coming compile
tion of the Panama canal, through
which commerce will begin to move
regularly in about two years.
AS one European authority says: "1t
is as though nature had decided to
change her trade winds" 1t is the
coming of the greatest industrial rev.
olution ever wrought by the hand of
man.
There is no part of the world to
which the completion of the canal
means more than it does to Imper.a.
valley, and the influence of that stu
pendous work in the next three years
will give to this valley an impetus be-
yond all calculation.
We have already demonstrated that
Los Angeles must look to this valley
for a great portion of its food supplies.
But we have yet to comprehend that
the cheap freight which the canal will
bring will open avenues of profit to
this valley which the people do not
yet see.
In the matter of garden vegetables,
for instance, this valley is producing
when most of the country is dormant,
and thousands of tons of the ordinary
vegetables can be shipped from this
valley and distributed throughout the
country at great profit.
To reduce Imperial valley from pas
ture and grain fields to immens,
reaches of truck gardens and orchards
implies the coming of tens of thou
sands of people, but that must come
when the canal is opened and the
freights are so reduced as to make
it possible to move the crops to ad-
vantage.
1t is true that the dairy industry
and cattle and hog raising are adding
immensely to the riches of the valley,
but when the time comes that the
gross product of this valley runs from
5000 an acre upward, these industries
must begin to give way for those that
pay the greater profit and by degrees
the change will take place.
1t is timely now to begin to con-
slider these things, for at this time
the whole world is beginning to re-
adjust its commercial affairs to the
condition that lies just ahead.
One of the great steps which will be
necessary is the subdivision of land
into small holdings, and this work

THEIR SWEETEST TINE

OF course it amt for me to say
At just what part of any day
little baby looks the best;
Put when it drifts away to rest,
With chubby fists an dimpled knees,
1t has a wondrous strength ter please
A gray old fashioned man like me;
II don't seem there can nothin' be
Much sweeter when it shuts its eyes
To the spell of tn lullabyes
It's mother breathes through the warm
Sweet as a heaven made perfume.
If I had only seen one lay
Sprawled out asleep at close O. day
/ would be ready to declare
That nothin' else could be so fair;
But have seen them romp an run,
Hands out, a laughin' in the sun;
An playin' a glad hide-an'-seek
Behind their hands, an squealin'
"Peekw
A-thinkin' they was hidden and
Plum out o. sight behind their hand
An'-take a little babe at play
It's mighty purity thataway
An Il nave seen EN- IN IN morn
As rosy as tn day just born,
with rose leaf hands an seashell feet,
An I tell you, a baby's sweet
Just when tn day begins ter break
An it's a layin' half awake,
Stil wearing of a smile it got
IN some wide, blossomed medder lot
Where there's a laughin,' dancin' heap
OF babes, the other side of sleep;
guess it amt for me to say
They're sweetest any time o. day.

PRAISE AMERICANS

LONDON, Sept. 24.-Announcement
from Washington that the Panama ca
nal will be formally opened next year
is a signal for fresh discussion of
all the broad possibilities of the un-
dertaking.
So far as the question of tolls is
concerned, there is a growing dispo-
sition to think that Europe has been
precipitate in charging the Americans
with bad faith or with taking an un-
fair advantage.
Everywhere effusive compliments
are written and spoken in the light
of the tremendous display of engi-
neering skill on the isthmus.
Pictorial papers in Paris and Ber-
lin give sketches of the chief objects
of interest all along the route and in
the construction work. Long special
articles here deal with the revolution
the canal is to bring about in interna-
tional trade"
One able German writer thinks
Panama will necessitate greater
notifications of established systems
of foreign commerce than were ne
cessitated by Suez," and he adds that
at is as if Dame Nature had sud-
denly decided to alter the course of
her trade winds"
Declaring that the canal is the
"crowning achievement of American
force and enterprise" London re-
view makes the slight admission that
"the best business minds of the Brit
ish empire are concentrating upon the
commercial revolution which is immi
in that irraSnactiVa n the q
Willingness Of the Am mericans to arbi-
trate concerning tolls, we may use
the new waterway to the full and
may begin to use it the day it is
opened"

NEW FORESTS DISCOVERED

CHICAGO, Sept. 24.-Prof vilhjal-
mar Stefanson, who discovered a tribe
of blonde Eskimos living near the
mouth of the Mackenzie river, is So
years old. He is of Norwegian des-
cent, but was born in Canada and
graduated from Harvard University
The young explorer believes that the
Eskimos whom he discovered are OF
white descent.
1t is also announced that Professor
Stefanson brings word of vast timber
and mineral wealth hitherto unknown.
Especial interest is being displayed in
the discovery of great timber re-
sources, in face Of the fact that th>
destruction of the timber reserves is
now one of the most vital problems
this country is facing. South Ameri-
ca is buying its lumber here and saw
ing its own timber against the time
when the United States will be de-
nuded and willing to pay any price for
lumber.

HAS 3O.ur,O SERVANTS

The cZaritsa, as head of the Russian
royal household, is mistress of nearly
10000 servants, scattered in many pal
aces and residences throughout the
empire. 1t is not likely that this vast
retinue is any particular care to her
says Kellogg Durland in Royal Ro-
nance of Today" (Werner Laurie), for
the army Of servants, just like the
army of soldiers, is divided into groups
and oficered by various functionaries.
In fact, il is likely that the two armies
are not diSsimilar in the minds of the
cZar and the cZaritsa. Every wish
of the cZar'S is command to The
army, and has only to be uttered 20
an aide to be executed. SO the word
of the cZaritsa spoken to a woman
waiting is all sufficient to be car
ried out by any or all of her servant
host.
There are $4,000 head of cattle in
the royal pastures and 5000 horses in
the royal stables. Over all these the
czaritsa is supreme, as the wife and
consort of the czar, and 10000, 900 sub
jects besides.

DANGER OF THE STAGE

London Post: The morality of the
stage was, from the point of view of
the general public, the most interest
ing subject discussed at the Roman
Catholic congress held in Norwich. 1t
was introduced in n paper by Rev.
Thomas Kelly. s. j., who had some
plain and direct things TO say about
the modern play. Speaking on the
influence of the stage on character, at
a meeting of the Roman Catholic Stage
Guild. over which Mgr. r. II. Ben
son presided, Mr.. Kelly asked how
many plays were now tolerated that
were unhealthy in tone, suggestive and
capable of infiaming the imagination,
especially of the young.
Writers and producers of such plays.
he declared, would tell them that they
were intended to act as warnings and
to teach a lesson, but he doubted it.
In nearly every case, provided the
play had the imprimatur of the cen
sor, its morality was little thought of.
The box office receipts were the OBJ
ject in view and the good or bad eff
feet of the play on the hearers was
not considered. They would be tod
that theaters were not run as either
charitable or religious institutions
but as business concerns only. Yet the
Roman Catholic, whose religion and
the eternal interests of whose soul
must not be separated from his every
day life, could not look on the matter
in that way. Neither could the church.
They did not throw open the op
Grating rooms of their hospitals to thu
lie, nor should they hold up to the
view of every one the moral wounds
and sores of humanity. without ne
cessity they did not expose any one
to the dangers of infections and con-
tagious diseases. That would be a
criminal offense. 1t could not sur
prise them then that the church, who
insisted as far as possible that her
children be removed from dangerous
occasions, did not see eye to eye with
the people whose views were so di
vergent from their own. The church
had no antipathy to the stage qua
stage, but to the stage in 50 far as it
abused it's undoubtedly great powers
and pandered under the guise of the
artistic to the lowest passions of men:
The church of the past had not
cast a too favorable eye on actors
and their art. Neither had society at
large. The law had consistently placed
them on the lowest rungs of the So
cial ladder and in her enactments had
classed them among "rogues and vag-
abonds." This distrust and suspicion
had not been without cause, and as
for the church it~is certain she would
never have issued such severe regu-
lations to her clergy had she not ex-
perienced the dangers and evils OF
the stage. In her infancy she had to
combat with her new code of moral
ity the impurity and debauchery Of
the Greek and Roman plays. That
there were dangers to the profession
even in these days could scarcely be
denied. Sir Charles Scantley, a few
weeks ago. speaking after a lifelong
experience in close contact with the
stage and concert platform, said that
all classes of people were subject to
perils and trials, but he thought there
was no more perilous career than that
Of the artist in the theater.

EMPRESS EUGENE AWED
AT FASHIONS OF TODAY

PARIS, Sept. 24.-The Empress Eu
genie, who has just paid a visit to
Paris, has returned to the love of
dress that ruled her when she led
the world in fashions. During her
recent visit she asked an old friend
to get up n party 1of the best dressed
women in the city. Two dozen of the
most elegantly gowned women in the
m etropolis responded and the empress
reviewed their magnificent creations.
After many queries the empress. who
first introduced the crinoline, said:
What artists your dressmakers are.
All If the modistes Of my day had
dressed us like that what a France
I should have made and what fetes
I should have given. But are not the
prices ruinous?"

WORLDS BALL SERIES IS
THE EAST'S MAIN TOPIC

NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-What part
will pitching play in the winning of
the 1912 worlds series?
Now that it is certain that. the Bos-
ton Red Sox and the New York Gil
ants will fight it out for the cham
pionship next month, fans" are be-
ginning to discuss the chances Of a
twirling duel between Mathewson ana
Wood and a southpaw battle with
Marquard and Collins as the princi-
pals.
No matter what an individual may
do during the worlds series, is it not
after all the pitching which is the
deciding factor? If the twirler keeps
the opponents off the base lines, how
can they travel around to the home
plate? Pitching effectiveness is the
one big asset to team in a short
series such as will be played by Bos-
ton and New York.
Although it is only a conjecture, it
is pretty well understood that Man
ager Stahl will depend upon three men,
Wood, his brilliant highlander; Ray
Collins, his big southpaw, and Buck"
O'Brien, a spitball artist. Hall and
Bedient, both twirlers who employ
their right arm to battle the opposi
tion, may get a chance, but only after
the other three have been tried.
Manager McGraw is counting on
three men, also-Mathewson, a star
of seasons and series; Tesreau, a youth
whose size, strength and splitter have
won fame for him this season, and
"Rube" Marquard the lefthander who
made a remarkable record during the
early part of the 1912 campaign, but
whose work in recent games has been
erratic. McGraw also has several re-
| lief men who may be seen in action
| Crandall and Ames being the most
prominent of these.
| An outsider who has no particular
| interest in the series except as to see
| the best team win can note little ad-
! vantage for either team in the pitch
| ing end of the coming games. On
| form, as they say, Wood should be
able to take care of Mathewson in
the first game, while if it so happens
! that the southpaws get together Col
| Inns and Marquard appear well
| EndlCHeu. ~ bTlen ana leSTedu SDOulu
| fight a port side delivery battle worth
! the worlds series prices.
| Base running is another feature to
| which much attention has been paid
| by the dopesters. Figures show that
Carrigan, Cady, Nunemaker and Thorn
as have thrown out two out of every
! five men who tried to steal durin Z
the first five months of the present
| series. A total of 157 bases have been
| stolen by the Boston's opponents and
! during that time $50 attempted steals
| were thrown out. In a series in 1916
the Giants stole II bases in five game
| and four attempted steals were thrown
| out.
| One feature of the coming series l.
| the lack OF interest in betting on the
| series in New York-the town which
| went crazy over the worlds series last
| year and by sheer force of money made
the Giants favoriteS. The fans seen

cations are that Boston may outdraw

PREPARE FOR PANAMA CANAL
WHICH WILL MAKE THIS REGION

now in progress on a small scale, is

it seems certain the time is ripe for it,
Hundreds of thousands of people
are seeking homes in California, and
wish small possessions. This valley of
all places has what these thousands
of people are looking for, and they
cannot become located and adjusted to
valley conditions too quickly to be in
readiness for the great uplift which
already is beginning to be felt as a
result of the building of the canal.
