order prohibiting the sale of anthra-

nounced inaThe Forum Monday
evening, became effective this morn

Under the provisions Of the order,
domestic consumers and commercial
consumers are not permitted to lay
in a supply Of anthracite in the event
their stoves or furnaces can be util-
lied in the burning of either blum
inous or Ignite products without
making changes that would prove
too expensive.
Practically all furnaces can be
converted to the use OF the soft coal
without expense.
The order is based on the theory
that owners Of base burners should
first be supplied with anthracite as
their equipment does not permit the
use Of other fuel. .

JOHN CARDINAL IRELAND.
(FrOm MINNEAPOLIS Journal. April 3O.)

The disclosure apparently authentic that Archbishop
John Ireland in the evening of his long useful
life has been named Cardinal Gin petto by the Pope of
Rome, will be received with mixed feelings by
municans of the Archdiocese of Paul by public
generally
There will be gratitude that this fine old prelate has
thus sgnaly been honored by the supreme head of his
church. and regrets that he could not have been named
prince of the church before the burden of his many
and his unremtting toll had become almost heavy for
his stawart shoulders
If faithful service fine achievement could alone have
brought him the red hat he would perhaps have been the
second instead of the fourth American Cardinal But the
geography, doubt accounts for the hardness
of the honor
Cardinal Gibbons, of Baltimore octogenaran,
named in 1886 and for quarter of century the
only American Cardinal In 1911 Cardinal Farley of New
York Cardinal OConnel of Boston, heads of the
est American archdioceses added to the Sacred Col
ege 1t is easy understand why the Holy See felt it
necessary to the preeminent merits of Arch
bishop Ireland in order to recognize suitably the 1mpor
lance of New York and Boston Catholicism.
The disclosure by the Pope visiting Minnesota priest
that he had named Archbishop Ireland Cardinal n petto
naturally speculation to when the appointment
will be formally announced and confirmed in public
sistory peto is Italian for "n the breast that is
say secret. Cardinals not usually named but
practice confirmed by church traditions is occasion
ally resorted when the appointing Pope desires to delay
the actual announcement for any Such ap-
pointment when finally confirmed takes date from the
time it made "in petto."
Archbishop Ireland long been real prince of the
church, formal recognition of the fact by the Holy See
will be generally hailed fitting act
