TY HOUGH we. sacrificed no
hecatomb or in any other
- exotic fashion manifested
our uncomfortable pleasure in
Mary Johnston's Silver Cross"
analysis of our emotions and re-
actions leads to the opinion that
the fault is ours. rather than
Miss Johnston's. For. by q perver-
atty. over which we seem to have
no control, books we have read in
years gone by seem to us to
have been far superior to. those
OF more recent date, though the
probabilities are that quite the
opposite is more often than not
the case.
Avoiding reference to any books
but those Of Miss Johnston, we
submit that our judgment in the
case Of "Silver Cross" ID unde-
niably warped because of the in
ordinate pleasure we, derived
from Prisoners Of Hope" and
ITO Have and To Hold" read in
our more impressionable days.
Now. "Silver Cross" is a FAR more
ambitious work than either of
these; the subject is one suscep-
tibfe of far more diversity of
treatment: the style is essentially
the" same, except for the hint OF
mysticism noticeable in the later
books OF Miss Johnston. So the
fault is evidently ours.
This story has its action in the
England Of Henry VII, concerning
itself largely with the jealousies Of
two great abbeys: Silver Cross and
Saint Leofrics. These abbeys are
near enough for one to suffer some
what If the other have anything
out Of the ordinary to offer in the
way Of relic or miracle.
Thus. when Saint Leofrics can
offer as its stellar attraction a mi
raculously discovered hand and
arm Of it's patron saint, the abbot
Of Silver Cross is greatly depressed
at his loss OF prestige with the
simple folk who believed implicitly
In the healing power Of such relics.
Silver Cross has a patron in the
person of Lord Mountjoy, a man
of deep religious convictions. who
especially loves the great church
because II is the burial place of
his wife. He, too, is perturbed by
the accession of the neighboring

Do Women Follow Men?
NTENS fashions and women's
Nl fashions link arms. This is
doubtless because the athletic
girl Of today deliberately aims for the
mannish air in her mode Of dress,
especially If it be tinged with the spirit
Of sport. The camers hair polo coat,
originally worn by men as a rest or
wait coat for polo and tennis, was
long ago pre-empted by women as
their own. So, too, were the sailor
hat, the two-toned field shoes with
contrasting saddle insteps and, to
make short story shortest, knickers.
Similarly, when men began to as
sumo trousers Of different color and
pattern from their jackets for coun-
try and knockabout, women adopted
the separate sport skirt.

as the one in question should be left
to their discretion. He cited numer-
ous authorities to uphold his conten-
ton from the supreme courts of
Minnesota, North Dakota and other
eastern states.
1t is stated that in rendering a de-
cision that the board of canvassers
must complete the count in this coun-
ty, the question as to the irregulari-
ties in these three precincts was not
touched upon and could not properly
be commented upon in this case, as
the issue merely involved the powers
of a ~canvassing board. Therefore,
while the right of the board to re-
ject the precincts has been denied,
a ruling upon the validity of the pre-
cincts has not been made by the SUI
preme court.
The composition of the court was
as follows: Judge Farr, acting chief
justice, Judge Galen Judge Lynch,
district court judge sitting for Judge
Cooper. Commissioners: Judge c. D.
Borton of Glasgow, Judge F. P. Leip-
er, Glendive, Judge Ford of Gallitin
county. The canvassing board were
represented by Attorneys Geo. Bangs
and Geo. Erickson, assisted by At
torney J.. w. Choate of Helena, a
member of the firm of Ford &
Choate.

NEW RETURNS GIVE

Unless a contest that should be
waged in the courts at some future
date will change the results, Wolf
Point, instead of Poplar, will become
the permanent county seat of Roose-
welt county, according to the amend
ed official election returns received
by Secretary of State Charles I.
Stewart on Tuesday morning from
Clerk and Recorder John C. Dwyer
in Poplar.
The amended official abstract
shows that Wolf Point is the winner
by a majority of 1872 votes over Pop
lar, which now is the temporary
county seat. The amended abstract
of votes is due t. a recent order from
the supreme court which required a
count by the county canvassing board
of the votes in three precincts which
the board has originally refused to
count, for the reason that it. was
claimed the polling places in two pre-
cincts had been situated in buildings
not designated for that purpose, and
that the polling place for the third
precinct at first thrown out had been
situated on Indian territory.
With those three precincts not
counted Poplar was considered to
have been elected the permanent
county seat by a majority of 80
votes, the totals without those pre-
cincts being 1877 in favor of Poplar
as against 1,708 for Wolf Point. At
ter the three precincts had been
counted under order of the court,
Poplar gained only Id votes. while
Wolf Point gained 295, leaving the
totals 1908 for Wolf Point, as
against 1871 for Poplar.

VALLEY (BainvilIe) Tribune)

The right of the canvassing board
to pass judgment as to whether OF
not the three precincts in this county
were legally cast at the recent cleo
ton, which was questioned by all
fair minded and right thinking peo-
pie, was heard in the supreme court
of the state at Helena Tuesday after
noon and it took that body, including
the time taken by the attorneys, less
than two hours to decide.
The supreme court did not recog-
nize the decision of the two learned
men of Poplar in their now famous
attempt to disfranchise the residents
of three precincts because they evil
IDENTIFY did not vote to their liking.
Quite to the contrary. In the courts
decision the rulings as laid down by
these two wise men were entirely
ignored, they evidently holding that
it was for a higher tribunal to de-
eide. The decision is brief and to the
point and demands that the canvass
ing board again convene, and not lat
er than Dec. 2, and canvass the votes
of the three precincts and announce
their findings. This will doubtless be
a hard blow to Poplar as many in that
place had been given to understand
that the entrance of this Ease into the
courts would stay for years the re-
moval of the county seat to Wolf

above decision of the supreme court
is only an order for the board to
canvass the votes cast in the rejected
precincts and is not a decision as
to the legality of the votes cast. AS
we understand the election laws of
the state of Montana the canvassing
board must count all votes coming
through their hands regardless of the
fact that the returns be illegal to
their knowledge. The laws is also
clear in that elections must be held
in polling places designated by the
board of county commissioners.
AS the matter now stands Wolf
Point has the advantage in the fight
and the final outcome is awaited
with great interest.

Poplar Standardl

The supreme court of the state of
Montana has ordered the Roosevelt
county canvassing board to count
the three precincts, Nos. 8, % and
81, recently rejected in the official
canvass of the election held Novem-
Der 18th. The supreme court, in
rendering the opinion, held that the
duties of the canvassing board are
purely ministerial and that they have
no right Or authority to reject the
returns of any voting precinct re-
gardless of their opinion as to the
regularity of the election or fraud
lency of the votes cast.
The order from the supreme court
served upon the members of the can
wasting board Wednesday requires
that the votes be counted and the
results proclaimed not later than
Saturday, December End.
This question, which was carried
directly to. the supreme court by
Norris and Hurd, attorneys for the
Wolf Point bunch, was argued at
I1clcId uOIludy ny ACtOiHcy dCo-
Bangs and Attorney Hurd. Mr..
Hurd contended that the board of
canvassers was, in a speak
ing, nothing more or less than an adj
ding machine, and that they had no
administrative powers in ~canvassing
the election returns; that regardless
of fraud, Irregularities and violations
of election laws, a canvassing board
is bound to tabulate all the returns
of a given election.
1t is said that there is only one de-
cision on record in the Montana SUI
preme court on this sort of a case
and that while it deals with the pow
ers of a canvassing board, it cannot
strictly be said to be parallel to this
case.
Attorney Bangs argued that the
board of did have admin
istrative powers and that such a case

from distance. In all the history Of the
conclave this rule has been broken but
once: During the last election, through
an oversight, the Sedid Gestdtoria-the seat
in which the newly elected Pope takes his
place on nomination--was forgotten, and
to the CONSERVATION of the assembled Car
dinals the great door was opened to give
entrance to the chair.
The sitting OF a conclave calls for a
great deal of preparation, for the Cardi-
nails. numbering as many as sixty-fve must
be lodged in one vast chamber, divided
into small suites formed of wooden plank
ing. The stats of the Cardinals, personal
attendants, two doctors, four cooks and
their assistants, two carpenters. two bar
bers and two plumbers bring the whole
number of those who are to remain in the
chamber till the election of a new Pope Is

secretary and HIS valet.

Upon the opening OF the election the
Cardinals are conducted from their cells by

Chapel, which is at the end Of the great

ball in which they are to live for IN a
definite time. In the chapel they seak
themselves in canopied stalls assigned to
them, before each of which is placed a
small table, with writing material, ballots
and sealing wax.
The Master Of Ceremonies then calls:
"Erit Omnes" and the Cardinals are left
alone to vote for the new Pontiff, with
open mind and free conscience" according
to canonical law.
No Cardinal can vote for himself. The
ballot form is a division of three parts, the
top Of IL being a space for the name of the
voter, the center space for the name Of the
candidate voted for and the lowest space
being for the Scriptural quotation or motto
chosen by each particular Cardinal. This
quotation is, graphically. an impersonal
identification of the voter

When the candidate has received the two
thirds vote which elects him to the papal
throne the lower ends Of the ballots are un
sealed and the notices disclosed. BY this
means Il is determined that the new Pope
did not cast ballot for himself.
The voting Cardinal seals the perfected
ballot and places II in an urn, taking the
prescribed oath: II call TO witness Christ

cution.
When Pope has breathed his last the
Cardinal Chamberlain, who is to attain the
papal prerogative and hold 1t until new
Pontiff Is formally elected by the con-
clave of Cardinals, puts on his purple
mourning robes and conducts the Cardi-
nails, Archbishops, Bishops and other i'm

Chamberlain, bowed before the dead,
knocks three times on the brow OF the

Twenty-four hours after death the body
IL carried to st. Peters. to lie In state for
three days. The doors are closed, and on
the evening of the third day privileged
prelates assist in the funeral ceremonies.
Three collins are used for burial. In one
OF these three purses containing gold, sill
YER and copper coins bearing the effigy OF
the dead Pope are placed The burial
cases are placed in a niche above the door
Of ST. Peters, adjacent to the high altar,
there to remain pending the preparation
of the monumental tomb.
The next step is the selection OF new
Pope.
The Cardinals are summoned from every
Cardinalatial diocese.
The conclave begins about ten days after
the funeral of the Pope.
From the beginning OF the Christian era
to the middle Of the twelfth century the
Pope was elected by the clergy. the Roman
people and the Bishops OF the surrounding
Secs but then Alexander III, decreed that
the right Of election was henceforth to
be reserved to the Cardinals The explana-
ton was that the previous elections had
been made the occasions for rioting. His
decree gave rise to great discomfort among
the people.
Before 1870 the conclaves were held
wherever the death Of a Pope occurred.
But in that year II was decreed by Plus
TX. that Pontiff must not pass the con-
fines of the Vatican, and obviously that
decree defined the setting Of the conclave
to the halls Of the papal palace.
The conclave is held in the Sistine
Chanel in the Vatican. All the doors ex-
cent one are walled up with heavy plank
ing for the period required for the election
Of the Pope After the conclave is formed
IL is the duty Of the Pontihcal Marshal to
close this door from the outside and that
Of the Cardinal Chamberlain to lock It on

to be opened during the sitting OF the con.

death or grave illness of Cardinal, the
