ELECTlNG A POPE

A LTHOUGH it is less than eight years
~ since a Pope was elected, nearly every
one save those whose business 1t is to know
have forgotten how II is done. Tho death
Of Benedict Nv has set men to asking one
another whether the Pope must be an
Italian. why there are more italians than
uCn Of other natonalities in tho College or
Cardinals and how big vote the Fucccsssui
candidate must get.
It may DC interesting. then, 70 recall that
The College of Cardinals. which Chccts the
Pope. Is not a representative body in tho
srnSe that its members are appointed 10
represent the views OF the Roman Catholics
in tho various nations. II is All advisory
body, appointed BY the Pope himself from
among men in whose Judgment and devotion
he has confidence. AS thc Pope lives in
Rcmc. Il is but natural that majority OF
his advisers should be Italians. They are
within easy acccse when he needs them.
The Pcpc has been an italian for many
years largely because the scat Of the Church
is in Italy. There IS nothing In it's law
which would prevent the election OF an
American or an Englishman or un Irish
nan or a Frcnchman or Il Belgian or n
German or Spaniurd. As q matter Of
fact. Cardinal Merry del Val, Of the posi-
bility Of whose election there has been some
discussion. IS Il native of Spain. There has
been ono English Pope. and when the seat
N the Church was al Avisnon rh" Popcs
Urrc Frc1chm,n.
The Cardinals must meet to elect new
Pope not later than ten days after a va
caney occurs in the office They enter an
apartment provided for them in the Vatican.
4 separate cubicl" is assigned to each Car
Iinal. which he must occupy until q new
Pope is chosen. lie is not supposed to
communicate with any other Cardinal. but
writes the name Of his candidate on a
ballot. which is collected by a special fuHC-
,ionary. II there is no election or the first
ballot the balloting continues until some
candidate receives two-thirds Of the votes
cast. There was time when the King Of
Spain and the Emperor OF Austria had the
ppwer Of veto in papal election. The
Emperor Of Austria exercised il when the
predecessor of Benedict was elected. but
on January 20, 1904, Plus Y suppressed all
right Of veto on the part OF secular gov

The story is Of two Negroes who were
happy and prosperous but who, back in
1912, committed the indiscrrtion of voting
the Democratic ticket. In fact. so many
people were similarly foolish that the coun
try was lost to the Republicans.
As result Of this political turnover. oc-
