POPE Plus x.
Ereninr Wlscnnsln.

Pope Plus X. was in his eighueth
year and his health had been fragile
for many months, yet there can be no
doubt that the immediate cause of his
death was the outbreak Of the Euro
pean war.
From The beginning he had exerted
himself to the utmost to avert the
needless strife. History will not for
get hi, appeal to the Austrian Emper-
or. "DC not stain your gray hair with
blood His mind dwelt on the misery
and horror in store for the people OF
Europe. On his deathbed he said 81
shall not cease to implore God to put a
stop to this inhuman butchery." In
his last pronunciamento he called upon
everyone to pray for peace, and not
long before he passed away he said
"In ancient times the Pope might have
stayed the slaughter, but now he is
impotent. "
The simplicity and goodness of Pope
Plus x. were qualities of his nature
which impressed the world He pos
sessed also breadth of sympathy and
warm human feeling. When asked by
the Emperor to bless the Austrian
arms, his reply was, II will bless all
the combatants. Although his cleo
ton to the Papacy had been brought
about through the veto power of the
Austrian Emperor exerted against
Cardinal Rarnpolla, one of the great
reforms instituted by Pope Plus x.
was the abolition of this power of veto.
The kindly, human side of the Pope
was evidenced by the persistence Of his
interest in all that concerned the lowly
and by his disregard Of precedent in
permitting his sisters to visit him in
the Vatican and to reside in its immed-
late vicinity. He was lpst and gener-
Gus, dispensing Peters pence with
boundless charity. lie was no politi-
clan, but was satisfied to remain a
holy pastor of souls.

the potential father Of limitless gen
Grafton of children. AS selected for
the modern army, he is the best blood
and physique of his race. If we could
only send our weeds" to the front,
and all the other parasites that excess
siye prosperity breeds, even then war
would be indefensble. What is it when
the assumedly civilized nations OF the
world wager their best blood in com
petition which must ruin everybody
concerned, with the victor only little
worse off than the vanquished?

UNLEAsHED BARBARISM.

THERE surely is something rank and
vicious associated with the sudden rise
in this country in the prices Of the nee
essaries Of life upon the announcement
of war in Europe. The laboring, the
innocent, the helpless people are the
principal sufferers in consequence. The
action Of the soulless manipulators is
next to a crime. A coat of tar and
feathers and a good long term behind
prison bars is none TO severe a punish
ment.

PROMISES NO STATE TAX.

81 have arrived at the conclusion,
after careful consideration, that if
elected governor | will lay the figures
before the legislature and tell the
members that public opinion demands
that the state be run without state
tax, except for schools. said Mr.. Hat

step the public demand, 7 would veto
its action w. II riatton.

NEXT Tuesday is primary election
day, or when voters indicate by ballot
their choice of candidates for state and
county Offices. The only question at is
sue is that Of taxes, and its amusing
how thoroughly all candidates harmon

Republicans vote for Philip for gov
ernor means a vote for the railroad
triumvirate with which he has been
associated from early boyhood and
through which he gained his promin-
ence A vote for Hatton means a vote
for business principles such as should
be injected into the management Of
state affairs Hatton has proved a
great success in business by the appli-
cation Of correct principles. Besides
that desirable qualification, his fore
sight, his constructive powers, his calm
alertness in detecting right from wrong
with quickness of action for correction
and improvement, assure his being
nearer the ideal candidate of all aspir-
ants for governor. regardless of party
or faction.

Quoted in seven different languages,
and in the Hungarian Parliament there
is a still greater linguistic range No
wonder that there are misunderstand-
ings, and that when Misunderstanding
arise they are so difficult to alay. A
very large proportion, if not all of the
languages of Europe, are spoken by
people who have transferred their resi-
dence to the United States; but here
the conditions are such that most of
the immigrants learn enough English
to get along with, and practically all
their children become more conversant
with English than with their parent
tongues. This is one of the greatest
of the practical blessings that popular
education confcrs upon America.
