The %encyclical promulgated on Sep

Following this several leaders of

was characterized by that spirit of
modesty which never abandoned him
and by that strong religious feeling
which made him choose as motto, ITO
restore everything to Christ" The
day after his coronation he was asked
to give orders for his private apart
ment in the Vatican, and While lie
urged the then young Monsignorc
Merry del Val, his pro-Secretary Of

apartment, he himself chose four

suite above the state apartment of

Having already begun, they were or
dered away as the Pope was seen APP
preaching. With true American de-
Termination they objected that they
did not want to leave. Piux X. who
understood something Of what was
going on, inquired, and Cardinal Glib
bons who was among those WHO ac-
companied them, explained that 1t
was u pilgrimage of his countrymen
who desired to pay homage to the
Holy Father. They had asked for an.
audience and were waiting for the
appointed day. The Pontifr immedi-
ately said there was no necessity TO
walt, and he would receive the Amer
leans at once in the adjoining Mu-
scum Lapidarium. Thus Piux X, re-
ceived the first pilgrimage Of his
pontificate, held in his hands and
blessed the two American flags which
are still preserved, one in Rome and
one in New York.
Piux y. did not intend TO change
the substance Of the policy which his
two predecessors had followed to-
wards Italy. His protests against the
loss OF the Temporal Power, however,
lost the vellemence and bitterness
which formerly characterized them.
The strongest of his protests on
this subject was when President Lou
bet, disregarding the prohibition to
all Catholic rulers and heads Of states
to visit the king Of United Italy in
his capital, was the first, with the
exception OF Prince Ferdinand Of Bull
garia, since 1870, to so as guests to
the Quirina1.
THIS, however. was not only caused
by the feeling towards Italy but
much more by the state Of religious
war with France, which was the most
remarkable event in the last Pontifi-
cate. and of Which many have attri6-
lutcd the responsibility to Piux x,
while the hostilities had already be-
gun under Leo XIII.
France found imitators in Spain,
which passed in Parliament bills
against the religious congregations
and the clergy, leading to. the T<sall
of the Spanish ambassador accrfSited
to the Holy See; and In Portugal,
where the republic proclaimed on oc-
tober 5, 1910, brought about a COM
rlete separation between church and
state, the expulsion of the religious
congregation and the confiscation OF
their properties.
While such serious crises were TAX
ing place between the Vatican and
some of the Latin countries, which
had been known in history as the
most faithful to the Holy See, the re-
lations with Italy, while maintaining
in the outside form the usual .charac-
ter of hostility were in substance
much more cordial.
1t would take long to enumerate all.

story. Tom Danvers from boyhood is
haunted by a dream that stimulates
his imagination and eludes his compre-
hension. This deals with a country
road along which, in fancy, he ira
vels at dawn to a strange house where
he finds letter addressed to himself
At first he does not get beyond this
point and naturally curiously clamors
for more. At school because of his
dream he is hero among the boys.
In early manhood he becomes engaged
to Madeleine Cooper, a beautiful but
poor orphan. He is about to tell her
of his dream when she, believing 1t to
be secret he wishes to withhold, re-
fuses to listen, thus proving complete
confidence in her fiancee. After the
wedding she learns of the dream and
becomes greatly interested. The young
couple, deeply in love. spend their
honeymoon in the woods. After
several weeks have elapsed, the bride
sends her hisband up to town to see
his mother. He goes to his wife's
room to reassure her but finds The
place deserted. He goes downstairs

living room in condition which plain
ly indicates that she has been out of

HERRICK is COMING HOME

a FTER distinguished and accept
~ able service as the American
= ambassador to France, where
he has given fine example of
disinterested American friendship, N.Y.
ron T. Herrick will sail for home on
Thanksgiving Day. His Democratic
successor was appointed by President
Wilson some time ago, but the exlgen-
cieS of the situation created by the
war made it advisable to continue Mr..
Herrick at this important post until
such time as it was considered safe to
make the transfer. Even now it is a
question whether the experienced am
tassador, who is now about to return
home, should not have been continued
in the service of his country at Paris
until the end of the war, but the policy
of the present administration at WASH
ington seems to be more partisan than
patriotic in most cases.
Mr., Herrick will return to his own
country with the increased respect of
his fellow citizens because of the
high character of his service and the
admirable way in which he has met
and discharged the exacting duties de-
volving upon him in a delicate situa-
ton.
Already the name of Herrick is
mentioned among those likely to be
considered by the great Republican
party in 1916 for the Presidency. His
large public experience at home and
his international reputation have
Icaused him to be discussed very favor
ably in connection with the highest
office in the gift of the American peo-
/ pie.
Unfortunately not all of the repre-
sentatives of the United States abroad
are so highly regarded by the nations
to which they have been accredited.
! Perhaps no feature of the present ad-
ministration at Washington has been
so generally criticised as it's indiffer-
ence to the interests of the country in
the several important posts abroad.
There has not been a time in, the last
fifty years requiring such special fit
ness in our foreign representations as
the present, Complications are con-
stantly arising and the treatment of
these matters calls for great good
sense and unusual ability.
Mr.. Herrick stands out among all
the ambassadors of this country as one
supremely fitted for the trying duties
and responsibilities of difficult post.

of a short and business session
of the Legislature. Also the inf1uen-
tial Republican leaders are of the
same mind with respect to the meet
ing of the lawmakers.
There is a general feeling through
out the Commonwealth that business
has been so hectored by the national
Congress that any further nagging by
the State lawmaking body would be
like placing the last straw on the
camel's back.
But Notwithstanding this sentiment
there are those who are even now dis
cussing more radical measures for the
amelioration of mankind. These fad
dists should have mighty little con-
sideration. They have had their day
for more than two years and all that
has happened in that period has been
the upsetting of business and a gen.
eral disruption in every direction.
What the people want is a quick
getting back to solid ground and the
proposal of a short session dealing
only with the more important things
demanding attention has met the ap-
proval of everybody who has real in
terest in the welfare of the State.
There is talk of a hundred-day ses-
sion. 1t might just as well be sixty
day session and better legislation
would result from prompt action be-
ginning the day of the organization
and continuing until final adjourn
ment.
Senator Penrose, who is wise in his
day and generation, was asked yes
terday concerning his opinion about
the work to be done by the Legisla-
ture and replied:
1 prefer to leave the questions
that must be decided by. the Legis
elected to decide those questions.
II my advice shall be asked at any
time will give. it as a citizen and
VIII do what | can for the real
benefit of the Commonwealth.
Precisely. Senator Penrose knows
quite well that under the new dispen-
sation of open primaries it is the busi-
ness of the Legislature to dispose of
the matters which come before it and
as a party leader he will keep hands
off. He has had his vindication be-
fore the people and does not propose
to invite criticism by attempting to di-
rect the lawmakers this winter. That
is their job.
There are enough experienced men
in the Senate and House to shape
program at the opening of the ses-
sion which will enable the Republican
party to fulfill all it's pledges and give
the people what they expect in the
matter of remedial legislation. There
is no occasion, however, for any pre-
tentious scheme of lawmaking nor is
there any. excuse for playing to the
galleries in the discussion of measures
that are certain to fall by the way
side.
Hysteria and radicalism have had
their innings and the foot of the Re-
publican party should come down hard
upon any effort to prolong the foolish
ness which has been so emphatically
repudiated by the people at the polls.
