Rap Cathedral Building

Cathedral building by the Episcopal
church in America some hard knocks. A
grand concourse is being put through

E. Grammer, a foremost Philadelphia rec

against democracy and Francis A. Lewis,

More Italian Cardinals Necessary

II the cardinal named in petto and not
yet proclaimed be counted the very un-
usual situation obtains of exactly the
same number of foreigners as Italians in
the membership of the Sacred college of
the Roman Catholic church. Such situa-
tion has not happened before in
a century at least. possibly a far
longer period. 1t comes about through
the death of Cardinal Gennari, just an
nounced. Were a conclave to be held now
the Italian balance of power. allowing
that there is such a thing in the college,
would be jeopardized as it never was be-
fore in recent Catholic church history.
To complicate matters at the Vatican it
is essential, because of the concordats
with various nations. to create and pro-
claim by the approaching consistory four
new foreign cardinals, and at least six
new foreign ones are expected. Such step
makes necessary the creation of a most
unusual number of new Italian cardinals.
The foreign ones include the Archbishop
of Toledo in Spain. Vienna, in Austria,
Cologne, Germany, and the cardinal pro-
mate of Hungary There is now but one
living German cardinal, so that more than
one new one may be looked for at this
consistory. Fortunately for the italian
balance there are large numbers of Ital-
ian prelates in line.
Whatever may be the situation in the
college it may be reckoned as final that
the next pope, whenever a conclave
comes. will not be other than Italian.
This can be set down on the highest au-
thority. All reports to the contrary are
idle, and are not credited by well informed
American Catholics. The reasons are that
there are no foreign cardinals in the reck-
oning. and the Italian government will
not permit any save an Italian to occupy
the Vatican. The government is supreme
and its wishes will not be disregarded
There is excellent understanding between
Vatican and Quirinal. and it is not going

THE WORD WINTER"
Said to Have Originally Indicated Wet

Said to Have Originally Indicated Wet
ness, Not Goodness.
There is prevailing impression that
there is something In the word win
ter that signifies cold, and the sea-
son Is usually associated with the idea
Of low temperature, but where the
word originated there was little OF
winter as we understand 1t, while
there was a great deal of moisture at
the time the earth was nearest to the
sun, so that 1t is not the temperature.
but the atmospheric condition that has
given US the word.
The word winter" as we use 1t, is
found with but slight notifications in
all the branches OF the Aryan Ian
guages, for the idea OF wetness asso-
ciated with the season was given to it
before the Aryan family was divided
II we so to the root Of the word we
find "wad." with the Specification of to
wash out, or to moisten. or to make
wet Our Aryan ancestors used that
root to apply to all conditions Of
moisture. and many words besides
winter have grown out of it, wet and
water being among them.
This root "wad" is in the Sanskrit as
"udan," water. Anglo-Sax has "wae-
ter" and in Latin we have ''unda,"
wave. from which we get our "inun-
date"
Our Danish and Swedish cousins
changed the wv" into a "v" and have
winter" In Icelandic it is "vetir."
and the old high German has win
tar" and it is winter" In German.
These four words are all from the
Teutnnic base ''wata," which means
wet. So it has been moisture that has
been indicated from the birth Of the
root on which all Of the different words
in a dozen languages have grown
