DEMON OF FORCE.

Sensible and thinking people must
agree with the Live Issue in its con-
tention that there is just one mis-
take our rulers are making, and
that is their federation of the pro-
fessional anarchists. The modern
fool idea of reforming criminals by
-eoddling them and yielding to their
whims is showing it's results very
rapidly. 1t has been said that the
death penalty or Imprisonment for
life do not deter other criminals
from initiating their forerunners.
This is not true, and in the nature
of things could not be true. Some
there will be, of course, who in fits
of frenzy will commit murder or
kindred crimes, but the fear of
death deters hordes from turning
civilization into barbarism by in
dulging personal vengeance. The
speedy punishment of the Chicago
anarchists has been a deterrent ever
since, and If the abettors of anarchy
we're dealt with everywhere in like
manner we would not anywhere
have these cowardly murderers in
our midst. Notwithstanding the
outrageous conduct of the !. w. w.
in New York during the past year.
in spite OF their open attacks on re-
ligion or morality, on our flag and
form of government, the leaders are
allowed to parade in the streets in
sulting decent folk; to open schools
of anarchy for the children, and
openly to fiout the representatives
of authority in and out of court.
Liberty for anarchy is slavery for
orderly citizens. Liberty to speak
treason is subversion of authority.
Liberty to insult decency hastens
the adoption of the vendetta and the
fall of the courts of law and justice.
Has the past no lessons for the rul-
ers of this land?

THEY SHOULD BE JAILED.

That a conspiracy has been formed
TO rob the public there can be little
question. Immediately on the
declaration of war by the European
nations. food spectators in this
country felt called upon to advance
about every necessary. II is a plain
case of highway robbery under the
name of business.
But President Wilson does not
intend TO permit the beef and other
commercial barons to proceed very
far without discovering whether
there is a reason for the advance all
along the line. He Immediately
wrote Attorney General McReynolds
calling his attention to THE rapid
and unwarranted increase in the
price of foodstuffs in this country
upon the pretext Of existing condi-
lions In Europe"
The Attorney General at once
sent the following telegram TO the
various United States District At
torneys throughout the country:

TRUE EVERY WORD.

Gov. Martin II. Glynn, in an adj
dress Tuesday before the annual con-
vention of the New York State Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, in referring to the
effect of the European war on this
country, declared that the welfare
of the world is in the hands OF the
American worker. To-day the man
hood of America, he said, guards
the gates of peace to keep the world
from famine and to preserve for all
mankind the accumulated achieve
ments of centuries of endeavor. 1t
is a time that should call forth the
best in every American citizen. IL
is a time for the people of America
to stand shoulder to shoulder. IL
is a time for every class to forget
petty differences and to unite TO
meet the great emergency and the
greater responsibility confronting
the nation. It is no time for the in
dustries of America to think Of petty
advantage or to quarrel over trifling
differences. 1t is unthinkable that
the masters of industry should seek
to forget the responsibilities that
rest upon them; it will be unpardon-
able for the workers of America to
seize the present situation as a pre-
text for extravagant demands upon
the industries in which they are EN-
ployed. And it is greatly to the
credit of the American employer
and the American workman that nj
disposition is evident on either hand
to make petty capital out of
worldwide calamity" These are
the words of a real friend of boil
employer and employe and are ever!
one true.

PLAN TO GO BACK.

From Washington comes the report
thatsthe Postmaster General has
conceived the plan of commemorating
the centenary of the signing OF the
treaty of Client by issuing postage
stamp which shall familiarize the
American people with the British
flag. The so-called peace stamp is
cordially Endorsed by Andrew Car
negie, who in his triumphant
Democracy advocates putting Amer
lea back in the position in which she
was before the War of the Revolu-
tion. Apart from the improperly
of one nation parading the eolors
of another. the Providence Visitor Is
right In saying the present European
situation should furnish conclusive
proof that too much union with
European powers is not desirable
asset for this country. As long ago
as the days OF Washington II was
recognized that entangling alliances
with other nations could be prolific
source OF international difficulties.
Neither the United States nor Eng
land stand in need of any such union
as the contemplated stamp suggests.
Our Postmaster General evidently

NONE CAN TELL.

Plus X. was the two hundred and
fifth-ninth man who sat in the
chair of st. Peter. An authentic list
of all the men who have held this
glorious position can be found in
every Catholic library. Who will be
the two hundred and sixtieth Pope?
This is the question which no one
can answer. Plus X. so little thought
that he would be elected vicar of
Christ that he bought a return ticket
to Venice when he went in 1903 to
the meeting of Cardinals that was
to select a successor to Leo XIII.
Only for the exercise of an ancient
veto power by the Emperor of
Austria he would not have been
Pope. When he was raised to the
Pontificate he Immediately abolished
this veto power which had been
granted years ago in return for
promised protection to the Holy See
by the Austrians.
The supreme headship of the
church is annexed to the office of
Bisho poi Rome. A man does not
Is elected Pope: he becomes Pope be-
cause he is made Bishop of Rome.
Thus election to the Papacy is prop
erly speaking election to the See of
Rome. The right to elect their
Bishop has always belonged to mem
bers of the Roman church. The
Cardinals are the principal clergy
men of this diocese. therefore they
have the right of election. If the
Sacred College should be eX-
tinguished by any cause, the right
of choosing the Pope would fall on
the other Roman clergy.
A Pope has no right to name his
successor. He can suggest a man,
but the Cardinals are in no wise
bound to follow his wishes in the
matter. After the death of Clement
w.. in 1868, the world was without
Pope for three years. In order
to prevent the repetition of this
calamity, the Cardinals must now
remain in seclusion until a Pope has
been selected. Two-thirds of the
Cardinals must agree on a man be-
fore he is elected.
The papers will be filled with
articles. until a Pope has been
selected. industriously picking the
successor to Pope Plus X. II they
succeed in hitting on the right man
they will be luckier than they were
the last time a Pope was chosen.
OF one thing we are almost sure,
the next Pope will be an Italian
International difficulties can be
avoided best by keeping the Popes
OF this nationality. The wisdom OF
this is recognized all over the world.
Il is extremely doubtful II for
eigner could have handled the
t-eachery of the italian Government
as automatically as the last three
PoDes have done.
The terrible European war will
make IL extremely difficult to gather
the conclave of Cardinals together
for the election of the new Pope.
Most OF the prelates are close to
Rome. however.
III the Pope. when elected, does
not happen to be a Bishop. he is
consecrated az once by the Car
d'nal Bishop Of Ostia. His authority
dates from the moment of his ac-
ceptance. The Cardinal Camerlengo
assumes charge OF the Papal house
hold at the Pontiff's death.

County Judge Samuel w. Greene
is to be commended for his course in
the cases of the motorcycle riders
tried before him this week. These
motorcycle joy rides are becoming
as great an evil as have been those
of the automobiles, leading to the
ruination of many innocent young
people. The Judge says he is de-
termined to put a stop to the habit
of young men taking girls on motor
cycle rides, and in this he should
have the united support of the coun-
ty patrolmen and the city police

PREPARE FOR CONCLAvE.

Preparations for the conclave
which is to choose a successor to the
late Pope Plus X. continued Wednes-
day. The sixth congregation of the
Cardinals was held and several
newly arrived members of the Sacred
College took part in it. Among them
was Cardinal Cavaloanti, Archbishop
of Rio Janeiro. The Cardinal said
he had already sailed for home from
Europe when the news of the Pope's
death reached his steamer by wire
less. BY the use of wireless the
Cardinal succeeded in summoning
another steamer, to which he was
transferred at sea and brought to
the continent. The congregation
took the oath of secrecy concerning
everything relating to the conclave.

PLAIN TRUTH.

Representative Mann, of Illinois,
in the House of Representative on
Monday expressed himself on The

ment that is growing everywhere
His remarks were caused when bill
was passed to print Hague convention

place in Europe" he said, "this
strikes me as a sort of Legislative

or theory anywhere at the present

RELIGIOUS LIBERTY?

The local Baptist papers have
often complained of what they
termed was the lack OF religious
liberty in different Catholic coun-
tries, but Rev. DR.. G. II. Lacy, a
Baptist missionary. ,writing from
Mexico, expressed his admiration of
carranza and villa, incidentally
telling how the Catholic priests
were expelled from the country and
confessionals fed to bonfires. But
II is noted that the Rev. Lacy does
not protest against this infraction OF
religious liberty, and only hopes
that the people will turn TO the
Baptist religion.

PRAY FOR POPE.

In all the Catholic churches of the

sits in the chair of Peter, but who
needs prayers.
