Holy Father Declares the Spirit
of Christ Does Not Reign
Today.
Lack of Reciprocal Charity
Causes Lack of Respect For
Authority.
POINTS OUT FALSE PRINCIPLE

Associated Press dispatches from
Rome bring the news that the Pope
caused to be issued on Monday his
encyclical urging peace among the
warning nations of Europe. In this
document the Pontiff attributes the
war to four causes, namely lack OF
mutual and sincere love among men,
contempt of authority. injustice on
the part of one class of the people
against another, and the considera-
tion OF material welfare as the sole
object of human activity.
The encyclical begins by tracing a
horrible picture of the present war,
and by calling upon the rulers and
the people to end the fratricidal
6ght in order that the dawn of the
new Pontificate be blessed by a
voice announcing peace throughout
the world. The present bloody war
Is terrible because, the encyclical de-
clares. 1t is a struggle Of souls as
we'll as struggle of bodies. the
souls being the origin of the body.
After making reference to the doc
trines of Christ the Pope In his com
munication saysr
The spirit of Christ does not
reign today. The people talk today
Of brotherhood more than they ever
have before, yet brotherhood is ig-
nored today to greater degree than
ever before. Nations. races, cities
and individuals are divided today
by rancor and selfishness more
than they are by political frontiers.
The lack of reciprocal authority is
causing a lack OF respect for
authority. Love does not alter diff
ferences between social classes. but
II makes those above inclined to-
ward the humble Christian virtues,
most OF all with justice, while the
humble trust their superiors, await
Ing brotherly assistance from them. /"
The Pope expressed the view that
to bring about the desired change II
will be necessary to extirpate the
secret root Of all evils, which he de-
scribed as the view that material
good is the only object Of life.

CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY.

With the approach of the first
Sunday in Advent, the day APP
pointed by the Holy See for the
annual collection in favor of the
Catholic University of America,
Cardinal Gibbons and the Board of
Directors appeal most earnestly for
a continuance of the support which
they have given so generously in
former years. Without this popular
aid, so cordially bestowed, the uni
yersity would languish and Holy
Church would be deprived of an in
stitution which daily grows more
useful to her highest interests, and
has already earned unqualified
praise from those best qualified to
appreciate educational progress. The
Catholic University is the natural
crown OF our schools and our
colleges, and is alone the logical
finish to the system of religious
education for which all should be
willing to make some sacrifice.

State would insure us both alert and
good government at the same time
that II would adequately meet the
traditions clustered about the great
post of Governor of Kentucky. The
Courier-Journal has never concerned
itself about the filling of the offices.
But II can tell those who are charged
with that duty that II they take Mr..
McDermott they will make no mis-
take.
State Treasurer Thomas Rhea,
who so ably handled the Democratic
campaign, will have the support of
all sections for Auditor, while
Speaker Claude Terrell will probably
be unopposed for State Treasurer.
It looks that way at this stage, but
the other offices are sure to be hotly
contested for, and in all probability
combinations will be made from the
Governors race down the ticket. AS
predicted in these columns, the race
for Railroad Commissioner will be
a three-cornered one. "Billy" Klair,
the incumbent, who is a power in
Fayette and having many friends
here, will be candidate for re-
election, while George B. (Cack)
Barrett, of this city, will run, and it
is pretty strongly rumored that he
will have the backing of Percy
Haly and Senator Beckham, both Of
whom are anxious to even up scores
with Mr.. Klair, who scored a victory
over them in the last contest for the
nomination. John e. Newman. Rep
resentative from Bardstown, will be
the third entry, and he has also a
large following to reckon with.
Possible candidates for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Circuit Judge
ships are being mentioned freely,
among them being Judge Muir
Weissinger. who will contest with
Judge Charles T. Ray for the Fourth
division Comomn Pleas branch
Judgeship, while Tyler Barnett. the
well known Democratic leader and
organizer of the First ward, will en-
ter against Judge James Quarles for
the Judgeship in the First division of
the Chancery branch. It is also
rumored that Arthur Wallace will
try for the nomination against Judge
w. II. lSlu III the f1TSL DIVISION OF
the Common Pleas branch, and thus
far no mention has been made of
opposition to Judge Thomas Gordon
in the Second division, Judge Walter
P. Lincoln in the Third division of
the Common Pleas branch, or Judge
Samuel B. Kirby, Of the Second divis-
ion of the Chancery branch, these
gentlemen being especially strong
with the rank and file of local
Democracy and candidates that
would be hard to beat in a primary,
in addition to being strong assets to
the ticket in general election. In
regard to the Criminal division of
the Circuit Court it is now believed
that Judge James P. Gregory will
not be a candidate for reelection,
preferring to wait until 1917, when
he will be a candidate for Judge
Miller's seat in the Court of Appeals.
Lorraine Mix. the present Assistant
Commonwealth Attorney, is-tha~ ~onlx
one mentioned thus far to succeed
Judge Gregory. while Commonwealth
Attorney Joe Huffaker will probably
be unopposed for denomination.

ORPHANS LINEN SHOWER.

The Sisters and boys OF st.
Thomas Asylum have arranged a
meritorious little programme for
the entertainment of friends and
visitors to that institution nel
Thursday. when the annual linen
shower takes place. The good Sis
ters have about one hundred orphan
boys under their care. and will be
very thankful for donations of bed
linens, table linens, hose. etc. The

RICHMOND AS MODEL
FOR HARTFORD CITY
North State Town Seeks
Commercial Club Framed
on Local Lines.

Charles Jordan, secretary of the
Commercial club, may adopt the role
of organizer, if he is able to find a
day when he can leave Richmond He
has been invited by letter and by long
distance telephone calls to organize
commercial club in Hartford City
along the lines of the Richmond Com
mercial club
Hartford City has a business mems
association of which c. F. Rutledge is
president. Mr.. Rutledge wrote to
Mr. Jordan, saying that the reputa,
ton of the Richmond Commercial club
has impressed Hartford City men to
such an extent that a club patterned
after the Richmond organization is
wanted.
Mr.. Jordan probably will accept the
invitation. A banquet, at which he
will be the principal speaker, will be
arranged for the night when Mr.. Jor
dan is able to accept the invitation.
An invitation to be guests at an
informal dinner, February %, in honor
of Hon. William c. Redfield, has been
received by Secretary Jordan and S
f. Swayne, president of the CONNER
cial club, from the Hamilton Chamber
] of Commerce. No reply will be made
until Mr.. Swayne returns from Wash
ingtOn.

PLAN A MAUSOLEUM
AT LOCAL CEMETERY

A $4,000 mausoleum will soon be
under construction in Earlham Gene
terry, if the plans of former Mayor w.
w. Zimmerman and George B. Wore,
a new resident of Richmond material
ize. The men plan to have four hun.
dred crvrtS. which will be sold as
they are demanded.
me mausOIeum will not be built in
the cemetery proper, but will be con.
structed in the addition on the north
side of the National road. The con
tract for the ground was closed yes
terday. The mausoleum will be built
of Bedford stone, and the interior
will be of marble. The structure will
be about ninety by sixty feet, and the
interior about sixty feet high. There
will be chapel entrance.
Dr. Zimmerman has had the idea of
building a mausoleum for some time,
and recently, while mayor. broached
the matter of having the city build
one. Mr.. Wore moved her recently
from ST Mary's, o. He first asoer-
tanned the sentiment in Richmond re-
garding burials in mausoleums, and is
convinced that the project will be
successful.

Relates Story of First Attempt
to ASSQSSinQte Abraham Lincoln

was at Springfield awaiting the time
of his Inauguration. Moses Pearson
announced to his family one day that
he was going to see Mr.. Lincoln. He
made the trip. got an interview with
the president-elect, and told him when
he went to Washington not to go
through Baltimore. Upon being
pressed for an explanation of this
strange message he replied simply,
I feel that thee must not go through
Baltimore, that is all
Lincoln did go through Baltimore,
but on an earlier train than the one
he had been advertised to go on, and
when the time came for the train to
pass through Baltimore, he was in
Washington. 1t is now we'll known
that there was a plan to assassinate
Lincoln at Baltimore. And so it
seems that the guardian angels We're
lowering about the man of destiny
and protecting him until he should
have done his work
President Kelly then spoke upon the
elements in the education of Lincoln,
showing that he had many more op-
portunities than is generally thought,
though these opportunities were not
of the kind common to the youth of
today.

Earlham Heights, Kirkman-
vile and Benton Heights
Residents May be Added to
City Population
SCHOOLS OVERFILLED
Earlham Suburb Anxious for
Annexation, but Kirkman-
vile Said to Oppose the
Movement.

If residents of districts lying west
and northwest of Richmond are sue
cessful in their plans, it is probable
that the boundaries of Richmond will
be extended, and the population in
creased. Petitions are being circu-
lated in Earlham Heights, Kirkman-
vile and Benton Heights to take these
suburbs into the corporate limits.
This will effect the schools and
if Earlham Heights or Kirkmanville
is added to Richmond, will save the
cost of building an addition to the
Earlham Heights school at National
and Easthaven avenues. The school
has almost twice as many pupils are
were expected when the structure
was built a few years ago.
1t is said there is strong senti-
ment in Earlham Heights to have that
section annexed to Richmond. How
ever, there is said to be opposition in
Kirkmanville, which lies west of East
haven avenue, across the road from
Earlham Heights.
Conveniences There.
Kirkmanville has it's own stores, the
school is access BILE, a car line runs
through the edge of the settlement.
Benton Heights, which is not as old
as either of the other suburbs, is
building up rapidly, and the settle
ment is made up of persons employed
in Richmond.
County Superintendent Williams
said today that an addition must be
built to the Earlham Heights school
unless either Earlham Heights or
Kirkmanville is annexed to Rich
mond. Earlham Heights has about
thirty pupils, kirkmanville about fifty
and about twenty come from other
districts.
Rooms to Crowded.
The school has three teachers and
only two rooms. Part of the time
classes are heard in the hall, the pu
pills sitting on chairs. There is us
ually draft through the hall in the
winter.
These conditions do not hold true
at the Sevastapol school. which is
located at Fifth and School streets
1t has six rooms, but only three are
in use. This was caused by the an
nexation of Fairview to Richmond
and the building of the Fairview
school.
The school is attended by children
from Benton Heights. The FairvieW
school is about the same distance
from the settlement as the Sevasta
pol school, Should Benton Heights
be annexed to Richmond, it will mean
the closing Of the school, it is said

BOOSTER
FOR GUEST HOUSE
Earlham Professor Says It
Will Help Solve Social
Problems in City.

In a communication to the Palla-
dium, Elbert Russell, of Earlham col
leges, urges Richmond persons to get
back of the movement to establish
a guest house here. Prof. Russell
commends the movement and says it
will assist in solving social problems.
His communication is appended:
In the course of last year num-
ber of Investigations call attention in
public and almost sensational way
to social conditions which are men,
ace to the health and morals Of Amer
ican working girls. Already protec-
tive legislation has begun to shorten
the working day for women workers
in the interest of the health of the
workers and the vitality of their pos
terity. Efforts are being made to
secure living wage for working girls.

Needs Society.
Something more. however, than
what is usually meant by a living wage
is needed to solve the problem. The
recent Investigations have shown very
few girls driven from the ways OF
virtue by hunger or meIessness
alone. For human being a living" is
more than the necessary food and
shelter that enables an animal to do
its owners work. Woman does not
live by bread alone, because her life
is more active food The cosmiC
forces that work through her as the
custodian of the races life demand
recreation, beauty and society for her
After a girl has tended a machine or
stood at counter ten hours, the un
used part of her being demands eX
preston, and she needs wholesome
recreation. One of her divinest in
stincts demand that she have means
to make herself and her surroundings
attractive and that she have chance
to enjoy the society of other girls and
young men.
The greatest danger TO girls in ouI
cities comes when they try to live on
wages that give bare physical susie
nance. If they live at home where
there is no parlor to receive company
or, live in an ugly room at cheap
the streets or public dancing halls OF
cheap theatres in search of pleasure
and society.
Protection Afforded.
II they can not afford ornaments
and recreation out of their wages, the
temptation becomes dangerously
strong to accept them from men and
women whose purposes are evil.

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 12.--In speak
ing before the students and faculty of

day, Robert L. Kelly, president of
Earlham college, Richmond, told of a
