then assert that he had charged Jen-
nings to his face with having been
paid to enter the campaign. But he
made the mistake of his life and had
to take the lie that was thrown into
his face. Jennings called him a "dirty
liar" and "a cowardly,
lying cur" and there was nobody
standing between them. He took 1t
and he knew that Jennings told the
truth. Blease took the lie because

To the Editor Of The State:
My attention has just been called
to the statement attributed to John
g. Richards In the report Of the I.au-
rens campaign meeting on the 18th
II am backed by the Farmers union
Of which l have been a member for
many years" The State secretary in
formed me tonight that Mr.. Richards
has not paid his dues to the Farmers
union in about three years. For at
least two years I know that his county
has not had an active local union In it
nor man In IT who kept up his dues
nor a representative In the state meet
ings Of the union. And this Is the
first intimation that has come to my
attention that the Farmers union Is

thought that the pope confided in him
his last wishes.
Cardinal Merry del Val, the papal
secretary, telegraphed to all the car
dinals, notifying them of the grave
condition from which the pope was
suffering.
Later the ringing of church bells
announced to the faithful the exposi-
ton of the holy sacrament and called
them to prayers for the restoration Of
the pontiff to health. This gave rise
to rumors Of the pope's death, which
the vatican denied.
The pope's views on peace, en-
bodied In an allOcution determined at
the cOnsistOry at which he created II
new cardinals last May, constituted
such remarkable document that the
Carnegie Peace union, founded in Feb
ruary by Andrew Carnegie, with an
endowment Of $4,000, 900, decided to
begin among the clergy Of the Roman
Catholic church it's educational ac-
tlvities in behalf of disarmament and
arbitration by sending to each Of the
$4,000 priests of the United States
and Canada copy Of this allocution
In 1T the pope referred to men of
distinction and force planning schemes
for preventing the calamities of revo-
luton and the slaughter Of war and
for insuring the blessing Of peace"
which coupled with the fact that he
spoke at length with the three Ameri-
can administrations Farley and
OConnell-was interpreted as refer
ring to the efforts of President Will
son and Secretary Bryan in behalf Of
universal peace.
Today" he said, "pcace or war in
society and the states does not depend
SO much on the rulers az on the null
titudcs. Deprived Of the light of
truth revealed by God, unused to the
discipline of Christ, what wonder if
the multitude, the prey OF blind pas
sions, rush to the common ruin in
%tigatcd by clever agitatOrs who seek
nothing but their own advantage"
