of true soldiers. In spite of reyerses
and disappointments the German mil

Iessly advancing, in the face of the
efforts of the allied armies of France,
England and Belgium. The German
troops have hurled themselves into

HOW ANEW POPE
IS Chosen BY
CARDINALS
THE GREATEST PRECAUToIN
AGAINST TRIcKERY is
OBSERVED

Rome, Aug. 27-The approaching
conclave for the election of a success
ors to Pope Plus X is expected to oc-
cupy considerably less time than the
similar assemblages in the past. In
the first place, the entire absence of
strong rival factions In the Sacred
College, such as existed at the time
of the election of the late pope, is ex-
pected to make the selection of his
successor matter of less difficulty.
Still more important is the change in
the method of election that was pre-
scribed by Pope Plus some six years
ago for the express purpose Of sim
plyfying the election machinery and
cutting down the time usually occu-
pied by the conclave in arriving at
choice.
The rule for many centuries was as
| fellows: When, after balloting, the
votes were counted and it was found
that no candidate had obtained the
necessary two-thirds majority, any
cardinals who wished to do so were
allowed to change their votes. Many
popes who failed to obtain the requi-
site number of votes in the ordinary
scrutiny have been elected in this
manner.
Pope Plus decided to abolish this an
cient method of election. At the
same time, however, he took meas
ures to expedite the election by in
PRODUCING an important change. Hith-
ertc cardinals have been allowed to
hold only two ballots a day, one In
the morning after mass and the other
in the evening. Now the ruling pro
yides for four ballots, two in the
morning and two in the evening. Thus
the coming papal election is expected
to take only half the time occupied
during the last seven centuries.
1t is said that one of the reasons
for this change arose out of an Incl
dent at the last conclave, at which
Pope Plue was elected After the
first scrutiny, when Cardinal Ram
polla obtained more votes than any
two other candidates together, it was
expected in the conclave that an
opportunity would be given to the
cardinals who so desired to change
their votes, instead of this however.
the assembly Immediately disbanded
and voting was put off until evening,
with the result that the election was
protracted three days longer.
On the day OF the conclave all the
cardinals are summoned from their
cells byaa bell thrice rung, and repair
to the assembly chamber. From this
moment until the result Of the voting
is announced they have no communi-
cation save with the Vatican officials.

lent for the purpose of building those
small workmen's houses. Neither did
the alley elimination bill receive any
favor until Mrs. Wilson asked for It's
report
It was the day before Mrs. Wilson's
death that the District committee OF
the house was in session. The teie-
phone bell rang in an inner office and
Ben Johnson of Kentucky, chairman
of the committee, was called. The
message was from Senator Ollie
James, who had been in communica-
ton with Joseph 1umulty, secretary
to the president. Ben Johnson called
his committee members hurriedly to-
gether in his private office and told
them that Mrs. Wilson, on her dying
bed, had said she would be happy If
she could know the alley bill would
be reported and passed The senate
committee ON the District of Colum-
bia was not in session, but Senator
Smith of Maryland chairman, rushed
a meeting, rushed out report on an
alley bill-not the same one which
had been introduced in the house.
however, and the senate rushed it
through to successful passage. All
this occurred in an hour.
The house committee, being in the
quandary of having perfect princi-
pie wrapped up in defective bill, re-
sorted to the practical method of or
dering a favorable report with
amendments So the bill will prob
ably pass. 1t will work out so that
Louise alley will be a decent little
street without the drunken Saturday
night broils in the unlighted pockets
of its innermost recesses; and Goat
alley, which started Mrs. Wilson on
her crusade, may be an interior play

other alleys, all dirty, all filled with
vermin and disease. They will all be
made clean by the magic of dying
woman's wish.

have any publicity bureau, we have

PAY BACK THE COTTON TAX.

Harvie Jordan thinks that this is the time for
tax that it levied on the cotton growers of the
South in the years Immediately succeeding the
War Between the States. That tax should be-
paid back whether the cotton farmers Of the
South and those who do business with them
were in danger of distress or not. But there
is all the more reason under existing circun-
stances why this tax should be paid back.
There was sixty-six millions Of this tax
money, and if it could come into the South a.
this time as the nucleus Of a crop-holding fund
the government would simply be discharging Z
simple and obvious duty to the Southern States.
There seems to be some uncertainty as to how
tar the government can go in relieving the
South in the emergency which the war in En-.
rope has forced upon it, but the suggestion
offered by Mr.Jordan is clear-cut and simple.
1t is simply a question Of the government de-
Gliding to right a wrong. 1t is about to pay
Colombia twenty-five millions because Of the
dissatisfaction of that country resultinyY IRON
the manner in which the United States acquired
the Panama Canal strip, and in that it has the
approval of the people. 1t could pay back this
cotton tax, admittedly unconstitutional as it IS.
with the same grace that 1t. proposes to square
its account with Colombia
