leIudy, OH request, HICpaltu IHS lHtcl- esting statement of the facts which appear below
 Many people, hold the erroneous opinion that none but an Italian can be Pope, hence if may be interesting to learn that 104 Popes were Romans; 103 were natives Of other parts of Italy; 15 were Frenchmen; 9 were Creeks; 7 were Germans; 5 were Asiatics; 3 were Africans; 3 were Spaniards, were Dalmatians; while Palestine, Thrace, Holland, Portugal and England have each furnished one occupant of the Papal Chair.
 Nine Pontiffs reigned less than one month, 30 less than one year, Il more than 20 years, 6 have reigned over g years; the longest reign except that of St. Peter, who was in Antioch 7 years and in Rome 25 pears, 2 months and days. was the reign of Plus TX, who was Pope 31 years, months and 21 days. The next longest, but one, again excepting that of St. Peter. was his successor. Leo XIII, who was Pope 25 years and months. The combined successive reigns of these two Popes are the longest in history, covering a period of 57 years.
 Of the first thirty Popes, twenty nine were martyrs. Saint Dionyslus, tho twenty-fifth Pope, escaped this fate. The total number of martyred Popes is thirty-three. Eighty-two Popes are venerated as Saints.
 Including the late Pontiff, Benedict XIV, there have been only nine 2opes since the foundation of the American Republic The newly elected Pope, Plus XII, is the two hundredth and sixty-first.

mood Of discouragement or disillusionment,

Mr.. Harding has on occasions referred
whimsically to the heavy burdens Of his
job. Mr.. Wilson often talked in like vein.
All Presidents do at some time or other,
and they seldom tell or suggest half the
truth about the trials Of their ofice.
The Democrats have been studiously at.
tempting to make the country believe that
the President IS weary OF the stress and
confusion Of Washington. As a matter OF
fact. Mr.. Harding seems TO be serenely
seIf- possessed He has been doing great
deal Of constructive work quietly and with

THE LEGION'S FUTURE

COME OF the more imposing delegates 10
~ the American Legion convention in New
Orleans-notaby Major Hugh Scott, of the
Veterans Bureau--were disposed not 10
praise the organization, but 10 bury il. The
Legion, said Major Scott, has seen It's best
days and has been in n dying state since the
President vetoed the Soldier Bonus Bal.
II that veto could kin the Legion, then
certainly the Legion would have little reason
to live. And 1t is in far from dying state
great deal Of important and extremely
useful work lies ahead Of the Legion. II
should properly be an agency for good citi-
zenahip, for enlightened and free political
criticism, for the encouragement Of con-
stant and sincere regard for the welfare Of
sick and injured service men and for fra.
ternity Of spirit among those who survived
the hardships Of war.
The bonus agitation was an incident in
the Legion's history 4 new Legion may
come from the confusion created by an un-
wise direction Of the older one. But the
Legion will not pass out Of existence

At present three members Of the board
Of nine represent the corporation point Of
view, three speak for organized labor and
the three remaining comprise the public

1t is pretty generally admitted that com.
missions 10 organized are unable to deal
efficiently with important economic ques.
tions, since the labor and corporations
groups are always disposed to maintain
fixed attitudes in favor Of the interests they
represent Decisions are. therefore. left TO
the public group, but, because Of the lack
Of unanimous opinion in the board. they
have not the effects on public opinion which
would result from decisions representative
Of the board as a whole.

preceding the shopmen's strike and il might
actually have been able 10 avert the walk

that followed a partial breakdown OF the

RADICALISM OF GEORGIA

TNRIENDS Of Governor Hardyick Of
l. Georgia are saying that he was defeated
for nomination TO the United States Senate
by the vote Of the Ku Klux Khan. II was
not that the KIan loved Judge George, the
successful candidate, more, but that the,
loved the Governor less.
Hardwick has fought the Klan with com.
mendable courage. But he seems 20 have
been weak candidate for other reasons
He was opposed by the followers Of the late
Tom Watson. AS there are said to be 30, 600
Of them who voted for Judge George, this ia
enough TO account for the defeat of the
Governor, as only $4,000 votes were cast
In the primaries.
The Governor Is a conservative and Wat.
Son was radical. 1t is more likely that tho
radicalism Of Georgia was responsible for
the defeat OF the Governor than the political
power of the Ku Klux Klan. At nny rate
we do not wish to believe that Georgia is
10 far lost to all comprehension Of what
Americanism means as to allow 30 abbor.

respects our rights. When this feeling
prevails there Ia no excuse for the use OF
force.
The frontiers Of the European countries
are fortified because Of mutual suspicious.
No nation has any confidence in any other
nation. Each thinks It must be ready to
fight to protect It's rights. This Is why
there are wars and rumors of wars. 1t IS
why the military budgets are 20 large and
why reduction Of land armaments has been
20 vigorously opposed.
The example Of the United States and
Canada ought TO be suggestive TO the over
burdened taxpayers Of Europe.

land practically neglected by the owners
until It was reverting to a desert condition,
though 1t had once been source of great
wealth to the State and could be made
so again II the growth of timber were re-
stored.
To-day the State has more than 1000. 900
acres of land under the control of the De.
partment Of Forestry. This land. worth
twice what it cost to reclaim it, already has
paid into the school fund of the State prac.
tlcaiiy S2oO.OO from the proceeds of forest
management
-, This is indicative of what is to follow.
No owner of waste land can now dodge his
taxes without risk Of his land passing into
.9e a owneDhip OF the State. For every acre
or land owned by the State a liberal allow
ance Is made for roads. schools and general
purposes, and these are only few of the
results of the introduction of forestry into
the State Government.
We believe that the Pennsylvania For
estry Association is responsible for this con-
dition Of affairs having come about as soon
as 1t did. There is no doubt that il would
have happened eventually. but wheny
Probably not until disaster by food. drought
and impoverishment of the soil had doubled
the expense of reclamation to the State
Protecting the Forests
"Of first importance is forest protection,
for without il the forest is not secure. In
this matter fires are perhaps the most de.
structive element, and q large part OF the
last appropriation of 1000 900 has been
spent for the erection Of steel fire towers
good roads, trails and telephone lines. BY
these means fires are promptly discovered
reached and controlled. In 1921 more than
so per cent of the fires were discovered from
the fire towers, fifty Of which were erected
by the department in that year.
But, granted protection, the maximum
production of timber in forest can onIy
be secured by proper methods of cutting tho
timber and providing for a satisfactory new
crop to succeed that which has been cut.
The cutting in State forests is done on this
principle, but on other forest lands in the
State little attention is paid to them and
the owners must be reached and impressed
with the necessity for the proper handling
Of their forests. The department is eager
to cooperate with any owner seeking ad
lands. II he owns small tract the service
is given free IL more than 200 acres be
Is charged with only the actual cost TO th.
department Of making the examination.
Restocking ArtiAcially
"While nature does much to restore tho
forest lands it Is often necessary. because
of fires, to restock artiicially. During tbe
last twenty two years there have bean
planted on State forest lands S4 900 OOn
trees or approximately 22.500 acres. This
increase year by year has been very great
and by 1929 there will be an annual produc
ton of 90 O00. 600 trees.
'For accomplishment in forestry thero
must be a public educated to it's needs and
its benefits. Much still remains to be donn
but 1t must be done If the prosperity ani
the welfare OF the State are to be assured. :"
