SMITH STANDS
BY WILSON
MaryIand'S Senator John Walter
Smith, UphOldS Presidents
Mexican Policy.

Senator John Walter Smith. of Mary
land. issued statement Saturday in
which he indorsed in unqualified terms
President Wilson's policy toward Mexi-
co and called upon all patriotic citizens.
regardless of parties. to uphold the
hands Of the Executive.
The Penrose resolution. coupled with
the general Mexican debate in the SEN
ate Friday. caused the Maryland Sena-
tor to announce his position. He rarely
ever INDUCES in the cross-iirc debate of
the Senate. otherwise he would have
pitched into the Pennsylvania when the
Senate was discussing Mexican affairs
and pledging its support to the Admin
istration.
"The Penrose resolution. said Sena-
tor Smith in his statement TO The Sun.
lis nothing short of Intervention, call
it what you may. 1t provides for an
appropriation of $25. 600. 900 with which
to police the republic. That is the use
of armed force to compel Mexico to let
our people and their property alone.
Intervention in Mexico is absolutely
the last resort of the United States. We
should go in there only after we have
exhausted every resource we have to
restore order and peace throughout the
country. President Wilson is exactly
right in his policy toward Mexico. He
has never been nearer right in anything
he ever undertook.
Those people who are clamoring for
intervention in Mexico and who are en-
couragng such measures as the Penrose
resolution cannot possibly have calcula-
ted the cost of such move TO this
country. And when | say cost do not
mean to speak in terms OF dollars and
cents. | mean the cost in blood that will
ice shed American blood. | mean the
lives of our soldiers that will be lost, and
the homes that will be distressed.
I'VE must not contemplate interven-
tion in Mexico unless conditions should
arise that simply force this step upon
us. We may have certain obligations
to perform. obligations toward the
Americans who are in Mexico. but such
obligations should not be mixed with
misguided sentiment. We should use
our heads and not merely our hearts in
considering this situation
Furthermore, | am convinced from
my observation of the matter that the
European countries have no right To de-
mand intervention of us as long as they
permit the Balkan states to devastate
all Western Europe. The powers should
first clean up their own back yards be-
fore they complain about the condition
of ours.
II am a firm supporter of the Presi-
dent in his attitude toward Mexico. He
has handled the matter with good COM
mon sense and nothing should take place
in either the House or Senate to make
the problem he faces harder 10 solve.
We owe him united support not because
he is a Democrat but because he is the
head of the Government. and because
all Americans should stand by the Gov
ernment in any international crisis.

As into the sacred walls of the cloister,
where the sweet-faced nuns raise their
low, gentle voices in alteration, the
stranger within the gates recalls to mind
these lines of the peerless poet, Father
Ryan, the poet of Sadness as he has
been called by some:
"Thc cradle means the coffin, and the
coffin means the grave;
The mothers song scarce hides the De
Profundis of the priest;
You may eul the fairest flowers any May
day ever gave.
But they wither While you wear them,
ere the ending of your feast
And our dim eyes seek beacon, and our
weary feet a guide.
And our hearts of all lfe's mysteries see
the meaning and the key;
And the Cross CLEANS DER our pathway
on it hangs the Crucified.
And He answers all our yearnings by the
whispered Follow Me-"
For the philosophy voiced by these ex-
quistely appealing lines has turned the
destiny and shaped the life of many a
hgh-strung. sensitive nature to seek
refuge from the falsity of the world and
consecrate her life and heart to the
service of God and the betterment of hu-
manity.

Never is there a moment that passes.
from the earliest morning hour until the
dulcet chimes of the Angelus at dusk
ring out broadcast their tones upon the
rich and the poor alike, and back again to
the morning hours, but that there is some
gentle voiced sister who is kneeling in re-
sponse to the silver toned bells from the
chapel that summons the adorer to the
foot of the altar, where her prayers are
waited heavenward in reparation for the
coldness and worldliness of all mankind,
and to the throne of grace is chanted her
earnest prayers for the good of all the
land; for the conversion of every sinner
for the perseverance of the just, and to
implore blessings upon our country and
its people.
Nothing could be more beautiful than
the affiliation of the Perpetual Alteration
| of the Blessed Sacrament, and the love of
golden, happy. joyous youth, and the at
tainment to splendid maturity, which is
the secondary object of this order.
Order of the Perpetual Alteration en-
deavor to store in the minds of the pupils
useful knowledge, while training the
heart to the practice of virtue.
Thus passes the life of usefulness led
by the sisters of the Order of the Per-
petual Alteration. 81 ich when the last
toll is exacted, when the last prayers are
murmured for a passing soul escaping its
mortal casing and the last De Profundis
has been chanted, this their recompense
will be laid up for them in those blessed
mansions where neither moth nor rust
doth corrupt. and where thieves do not
break through and steal!''
To the Rev. Mother Augustine and the
Rev. Father Patrick Turner, pastor of the
Church of the Blessed Sacrament at
West End, Birmingham is indebted for
the magnificent buildings. grounds and
surroundings of the Blessed Sacrament
academy convent of the Perpetual Adora-
ton, which will be opened to the public
on next Friday.
The Rev. Motherr Augustine adds to the
number by the opening of this convent

with more thAn 200 sisters added to the
order.
She has worked zealously for the con-
vent at birmingham and the result is the
beautiful building which is now quite

which confronted the proposed convent
Two years ago last Sunday Father Tur-
ner came to take charge of the parish
at West End, which at that time had not
even a place of worship.

and thus his humble work began.
| From the moment he came, however
he was steadfast in his hope that he
would be able to accomplish his work

Coming here from the pastorate Of the
Church of the Sacred Heart at Pensa-

the situation looking toward the object
that was SO dear to the heart of the Rev.
Mother Augustine in establishing a con-
vent in Alabama for the Order of the
Perpetual Alteration.
Mobile and Birmingham were both
suggested.
The preference was given to Birming-
ham and the Rev. Mother Augustine at
once began her work.

building at West End, an honor to the
Catholic denomination and an ornament
to the city of Birmingham.

CURIOUS FACTS ABOUT
COLLEGE OF CARDINALS

Rome, August Especial. )-Plus X.
was born in 1885, and is therefore rs years
old. He has reigned as head OF the Ro-
man Catholic church foG ten years. which
is a long time when one considers that n
Pope is practically prisoner in the vat
lean, and Rome is anything but healthy
place to live in, year in and year out,
without a change.
Cardinal Sarto. as he was before he was
raised to the dignity of pope, was never
dreamed of before his election. He owes
the tiara entirely to the fact that tho
three powerful paUties in the sacred col
iege could none of them gain the required
majority to elect a candidate. AS they
compromised on Cardinal Sarto.
There is no other election In existence
like that by which pope is chosen. The
right OF election is vested In the college
of cardinals and this has been so from
time out of mind. And a very curious
point Is this-that a cardinal cannot be
disfranchised. Once a cardinal always a
cardinal, and whatever fault or heresy a
cardinal may be guilty of, yet when a
pope dies. he can present himself at the
vatican and assert his right to cast a
vote.

by his quite. taps with the mailet at the
door OF the room where lies the dead
man.
Receiying no reply he enters. He calls
on the dead pope by his name taps the
corpse on the forehead with a tiny silver
mallet and falling on his knees proclaims
that the pope is no more.
Then the great bell Of st. Peter Is tolled
In old days when the popes were kings
OF Rodne and of the papal states. all gov
ernaient was suspended for nine days.
Law courts suspended their sittings, an
arcly reigned. and dreadful outrages were
often committed.
II is not until the ninth day after the
pope's death that the college of cardinals
meets to elect his successor. The cardi-
nails, some 70 In number. gather In a wing
of the vatican. Each is attended by his
conclavist and servant, and there they
are all locked up together, like an Eng
lish jury. until they have completed the
business entrusted to them.
The voting Is done in this fashion:
Twice each day the cardinals meet In
the center of the room on the table stands
an electoral urn. Beginning with the eld-
est present, the cardinals, one by one, ap-
proach the table, and each writes on a
strip of paper the name OF the candidate
for whom he votes. and beneath the name
text or short sentence from the Bible.
The strip is then deposited in the urn
When this Is finished, the names of the
