Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1914-08-28

Great interest is being shown In the
papaI conclave which is to be held
shortly in Rome for the purpose OF
choosing a successor to Pope Plus Y.
This conclave is OF particular inter
est to Americans by reason of the fact
that It will be the first occasion on
which the United States will be repre-
scented in a papal election by three
members OF the sacred college-that is
to say, providing Cardinal James Glib
bons. archbishop of Baltimore, and
Cardinal William H. O'Connell, arch
bishop OF Boston, now in this country,
will be able TO reach Rome in time.
Cardinal John Farley. is already in
the Eternal City.
Naturally the question that will &C.
cur TO Americans before any other, in
considering the conclave. is as to what
chance their three countrymen occupy
being elected pope. The idea of a
citizen of the United States being
raised to the Chair OF st. Peter. as the
supreme head OF a church that en-
braces nearly two hundred millions of
the human race, is one that appeals
not alone to Roman Catholics, but of
people of every other denomination
on this side of the Atlantic.
There is not the slightest likelihood
OF this, however. To begin with. there
is a species Of centuries-old tradition

very gravely impaired health and In
firmities, it will be found that the most
likely candidate, the one regarded by
those in a position to know, as the
prelate who has the greatest chance of
election, is Cardinal Dominica Ferra-
Ia, now 81 years of age, and in the
enjoyment of perfect physical and
mental vigor.
Broad-minded, liberal, a most con-
sistent diplomat, Cardinal Farrata
combines in an altogether remarkable
world. in the best sense of the word,
with those of a real and sincere priest.
In Paris he was on terms of warm
friendship and intimacy with the lead
ing republican statesmen of the day.
irrespective of their religious beliefs
or unbeliefs.
The Italian government is in a po-
influence upon the election of a pope;
more so than any foreign power; and
1t may safely be taken for granted
that no cardinal will be chosen whom
it does not regard as being of a con-
ciliatory disposition.
In fact, a cardinal will have to be
chosen who not only enjoys the good
will of the Italian government, but
who also possesses the qualities of a
statesman. with a knowledge of foreign
affairs such as that possessed in so
remarkable a degree by Cardinal Fer
rata.

Big Demand in Sight for Hops-Dav-
export breweries consume annually
between 400 and 500 bales of hops.
The standard weight of single bale is
200 pounds. The price varies with the
quality and nutriment contained there
in. Ordinary hops bring from 20 TO %
cents a pound. Choice New York
state hops bring from 40 to so cents a
pound. They have been known to be
as high as so to 20 cents a pound. Just
now hop men are indulging in a lot of
/ speculation as to what will happen to
the hop market. While ii is believed
by many that the early effect of the
war will be to depress prices, the opin-
ion is almost general that the later
market should be a good one.

A VISIT TO A CAVE
By c. t. AUSTIN.

Ii there's anything better than fishing
Or riding in a balloon,
It's making visit to u cave
On an autumn afternoon.
When the leaves are red and golden
And the nuts are dropping down
And the sweet breath of the country
Greets You as YOU leave the town.
Or perhaps you take your dinner,
And prepare to spend the day,
For there's always lovely new things
To see just as long as You stay.
The cave is like really house
With great big rooms inside
Aud the incest corridors and halls
To slip away and hide.
When YOU visit out in the country
In the winter, spring or fall
Ii YOU don't 60 and visit the dear old
cave,
You have missed it nearly all.
