of the house.
Kansas was one of the strong pro-
gressive states in 1912, but In the re-
cent primaries the prOgressives cast q
very light vote. Roosevelt always had
a great deal of strength in Kansas,
which accounted largely for the big
vote the progressives pol1ed in 1912.
1t certainly looks as If the great
majority of the progressives will vote
the Republican ticket this year, ana I
believe that by 1916 nearly all the pro-

News Agency Announced Death of the
Pope wednesday Afternoon.

News Agency Announcer Deatn Oh the
Pope Wednesday Afternoon.
New York. Aug. 20.-A1though Pope
Plus X did not die until 1870 O'clock this
morning, Rome time, premature an
nouncement of his death was sent
throughout the country by a news
agency Wednesday afternoon. Accord
ing to the newspapers which printed it
this announcement was received at 2:29
o'clock p. M. New York time, which is
equivalent to S:29 p. M, Rome time. or
nearly five hours before the pontif
actually had breathed his last.
The deeply interested public, shocked
at the report of the death of this
notable world figure. turned from the
hitherto all absorbing war news. anxi-
ously seeking confirmation. Church
dignitaries were given an afternoon
and evening of worriment and uncer-
tainty.
Immediate denial of the erroneous re-
port, which ordinarily would have been
easy to furnish. was an impossibility In
the extraordinary cable situation caused
by the war In Europe where censorship
and congested wires cause the most
urgent messages frequently to take as
much as six hours for transmission.
Even the urgent message in which the
Associated Press received the authorize
tive announcement of the pope's death,
although II was dispatched at 1:49 a.
m. by the speediest possible route took
more than three hours in transmission
frcm Rome to New York.

President VIII Deliver Special
Message to Congress
On Subject Of Increasing the
Government Revenues.

Washington, Aug. 20.-President Will
son will deliver special message to
congress to expedite the passage of
legislation to cover losses in customs
revenue resulting from the European
war. Emergency taxation was the sub
ject of conference at the White
House at which the president, Secre-
wood and Senator Simmons were pres
emit.
THE war tax problem is one of the
most difficult the country has faced for
some time," said Mr.. Underwood. IF
stamp tax Is determined upon pro-
gressional districts which would feel
they We're singled out to bear more
Of the burden than equitable. Many
articles have been considered upon
which additional tax might be placed
but no decision has been reached
There is surplus of $149. 100000 in
the treasury. OF this $60,O00,000 is in
national banks. Secretary McAdoo has
pledged $32. 200 for crop moving pur-
poses. This leaves a balance OF $751;
000. 900. More than $152, 000. 900 in GUS
toms receipts has been cut off by the
whereby about So, 1000 900 would be re-
covered. That would leave about 800,
900 900 or 5000, 600 a month to be raised
by additional taxation.
Il think this war will last at least
a year. A war tax must be levied to
make up the deficit. In view Of the
climbing high prices such a measure
will not be accepted favorably by the
people. 1t is not the administrations
object to agit6te the question as to
what articles are to be taxed. It
would not be wise to add to the in
come tax. Therefore. q special tax is
necessary. We must do something i'm
mediately ana with the least possible
friction. Congress awaits anxiously
the presidents message"
Mr.. Simmons declared the problem
delicate because OF high prices
Under ordinary conditions" he
said. "a war tax would be met by in
terna1 revenue with little difficulty.
This war is without and not within the
country. Many articles might be taxed
but 1T is a task to decide which, con-
sidering the high cost Of necessities u
