 "why should you make war upon us for a scrap of paper"
 The reference was to the treaty guaranteeing the neutrality of Bel. glum.
 Sir Edward, replying calmly, said:
 q understand your inability to com prehend British action, but England attaches importance to the scrap of paper because it bears her signature as we'll as Germany's."

BUNNELL PROMISED
 UNANIMOUS SUPPORT

VALDEZ, Aug. 2O.-The Bunnell meeting last night was probably the most enthusiastic gathering ever held in Valdez, and 1t certainly was the largest political meeting ever held in this section of Alaska.
 Mir. Bunnell was escorted to the platform by a committee of 25 repre-. sentative citizens, regardless of party.
 Mayor E. E. Ritchie introduced Judge Diamond as the presiding off. cer. who stated that Valdez should be proud of the recognition accorded a foremost citizen of the city by the Democratic delegates from throughout Alaska. He said that no mistake had been made; that Charles B. Bunnen will not be found wanting.
 5unneil Is Constructive.
 Bunnell spoke for 45 minutes, out lining his conception of the work that should be done at Washington. He promised his best efforts for construc- tive legislation to include a full Terri. torial government until the Territory is prepared for Statehood.
 He said that he would carry no per sonal fights on the stump or to Wash. ington, but would devote his entire en. ergies to the welfare of Alaska.
 The ovation rendered Bunnell at the close of his speech continued for fully ten minutes.
 Mayor RItehle for 5unnell.
 Mayor E. E. Ritchie said that he was Republican, but that he reserves the right to vote for the best man. He promised his support to Bunnell.
 Best Possible Candidate.
 Judge John Lyons said that he had known Charles E. Bunnell for 12 years. He concluded strong speech by say ing:
 His record Is as clean as man ever made a record, be is the best man that the Democrats could have nomin- ated; he is young enough to make statesmanship a lite's work, and he possesses every essential thing for that calling. When he goes to Wash. ington he will take rank from the be- ginning far above the average of those of any party in Congress. The Third division Is honored by this selection, 1t should show it's appreciation by cast. ing unanimous vote for Charles B. Bunnell."

storY of PIus x.

In the midst of the awfulness of war comes word of the passing of Pope Plus the Tenth. Pope Plus is a strik- ing example of the bestowal of the highest dignity in the Roman Catho- lie church upon one of the lowliest or igin, utterly void of ambition. whose career had been marked only by the sincerest piety and indomitable zeal in the carrying out of the duties of his ecclesiastical profession.
 Pope Plus x. Giuseppe Sarto, was born in the village of Riese, near Ire viso, Italy, in 1885. His parents were humble Venetian peasants who en- dured many sacrifices In behalf of their nine children, two of whom were boys. The Pope's brother is shop keeper and postmaster, one of his sis ters the wife of an innkeeper. another the wife of q sacristan, and another married a wine dealer. When Sarto was just boy great interest in him was evidenced by Cardinal Monico, who later undertook his education. He was ordained Priest in 1858, and his zeal and piety led to successive ap- pointments until 1884 when he was consecrated Bishop of Mantua, in Lom- bardy. where he remained for nine years. In 1893 Pope Leo XIII made him cardinal and shortly after that he was made patriarch of Venice. When in 1903. at the death of Pope Leo XII, Sarto was called to Rome for the pur. pose of electing a successor, he him. self was given that honor by vote of the College of Cardinals.
 There could be no more marked con- trast than that evidenced by Pope Plus and the Pope who preceded him. Leo XIII was of aristocratic birth, a
