ROAD TO CLOVER

"How is the best way to get from
Yorkville to Clover" asked the re-
porter of Supervisor. Brown yester-
day.
"I guess you had better try the c.

plane" the supervisor replied smiling
through q worried expression on his
face.

the next question. The supervisor
lives just south of Filbert on the
Glover road, and besides q fivver he
has several mules that are available
for travelling purposes.

Then he went on to say: "There is nc

While it is admitted that United
States circuit judgeship is most de-
sirable berth to almost any man who
might be eligible for the place, 1t
would have looked much better If Sem
ator Kenyon Of Iowa, had declined the
appointment under the circumstances.
Whether the president appointed Ken
yon for the purpose of embarrassing
the farm bloc or not, there is no ques-
tion Of the fact that the farm bloc Is
much embarrassed by Kenyon's ap-
pointment. Political experts in W2ssh :
ington, however, are throwing out the
idea that instead Of demoralizing the
element that has constituted the farm
bloc it might drive that element into a
third party, with the result OF giving
the Democrats another show similar to
that which resulted in their success
in 1912.

Federal Reserve Profits.

The .Yorkville Enquirer was incor-
rect in its recent statement to the ef-
feet. THAT there is no requirement IN
the law as to how the Federal Reserve
board should spend the profits they
make after paying the 6 per cent div
idend to member banks"
Although the editor had the law a.
hand, he allowed himself to be led into
this assumption because of the way
the banks have been handling the
money under their control, and failed
to look the matter up.
There is, a law as to what should be
Gone with the Federal Reserve profits;
but it is a very loose law, and leaves
the governors of the board to do very
much as it pleases.
/. 1t is Congressman Stevenson who
has kindly called our attention to our
mis-statement. Mr.. Stevenson under
stands how The Yorkville Enquirer
brides itself on accuracy in such mat
tcrs, and being in position to know the
facts, has given us a clear statement
of them, along with some level-headed
comments. as follows:
"As a matter of fact the law Is that
the banks shall pay (after paying eN-
penses), first, n six per cent DIVIDEND
to the stockholders; second. shall hold
q surplus of 100 per cent OF the SUD-
scribed capital stock, which is 200 per
cent Of the capital stock paid in, as
there has never been but so per cent
Of the stock paid in.
All profits made over and above tiiAl
~hall he turned into the United states
treasury as franchise tax, with the
execution that after the surplus mas
been accumulated ten per cent OF the
profits shall be set aside each year rs
additional surplus and the balance
paid into the United States treasury.
The surplus has been accumulated
for q year or two and in the neish-
hCrhood of one hundred million dollars
franchise tax has been paid into the
United States treasury, according 10
nv recollection of the figures. so that
Won will see that the United states is
getting some benefit from it.
The expensive buildings they rave
been erecting are being paid for out OF

which they have accumulated.
'I do not justify their extravaganza
in these matters, but / know you want
the correct facts, and the buildings are
being paid for out of the banks sur
plus.
THE inderensible feature of their
proceedings is the enormous increase
in salaries, which is of course part

which would go to the United States
treasury and help 10 reduce the gener-
al taxes on the people.
Il think it is very reprehensble to
pay the extravagant salaries they are
paying at some places"

appears that although the law does

The man who undertakes to decry
the idea of a farm bloc in congress,
has in mind about this: Privileged
legislation is for manufacturing and
financial interests only. These inter-
ests live mainly on agricultural pro-
ductfon, and must be free to exploit
agriculturists as they please. If the
agriculturists are to be given the same
rights in legislation as those who be-
long to the manufacturing and finan-
cial interests, then all benefits from
special legislation will be destroyed or
at least neutraliZed."

Selecting a New Pope.

All the Roman Catholic world with
tremendous interest, and all the bal
ance of the civilized world, with no
less curiosity, has been watching devel-
opments in connection with the selec-
ton Of a new head of the Roman
Catholic church just concluded in the
Papal palace at Rome.
. There are sixty cardinals or princes
of the church, who since the death Of
the pope, are supposed to be equal In
power and right, and of these fifty
three were able to be present when
the proceedings were commenced last
Friday, with others on the way.
These sixty cardinals are housed IN
the Vatican, one of the immense rooms
having been previously divided up into
snug little cells, cell for each, while
around the altar Of the Sistine chapel
there have been erected sixty screens,
one for each cardinal, with a canopy
over each, the canopy symbolizing SOW
ereignty.
In their respective cells the cardi-
nails are supposed to be devoting
themselves to prayer, importuning Goa
for guidance as to for whom they snail
vote, and upon call, each comes out
and takes his place under his canopy
in the Sistine chapel.
AS the name of each cardinal Is call
ed he three times announces his choice,
and after the record Of the votes of'all
the cardinals is completed there Is a
solemn count Of the ballot from the
urn in which they have been placed.
If the count does not agree with the
| number Of cardinals present the bal
lots are burned but If it does agree
there is a tabulation Of the vote' each
cardinal taking down the names as
they are called out, and If one has re-
ceiyed two-thirds of the votes record
ed, the ballots are burned In a little
stove that has pipe running out the
chapel window.
Finally after an election has been
arrived at. announcement Is made In
solemn form, after which the canopies
are removed from all the screens ex-
cept that occupied by the newly chos-
en- pope, indicating that the new pope
is supreme head of the church, and
that the others though still equal to
each other are subject to the pope
who is thence forward sole sovereign.
None but the participating cardinals
and their attendants are allowed with
in the Vatican walls while the centu-
ries old ceremony is in progress put
in accordance with time-honored GUS
tom, thousands of eager and jealous
[tneople crowd at points Of vantage on
the outside, mainly, on the porticoes OF
St. Peters, close by, to watch the
smoke from the stovepipe of the Sis
line chapel as each non-resulting bal
lot is burned and wait the final out
come when the herald from within ap-
pears to announce, II proclaim to you
tidings of great JOY" etc.
The balloting began on Friday ana
at the seventh ballot on yesterday re-
suited in the election of Cardinal Achll-
les Ratti,, Archbishop Of Milan, VINO
was announced as Pope Plus Xl. he Is
to be crowned on February II.

A plan for shippers throughout the
country to use American vessels as
carriers for their foreign exports IN
the interest of the American merchant
marine was voiced by United States
Senator William NJ. Calder in an ad-
dress before the Forum Of the Institu-
tional Synagogue, in New York last
Tuesday. Public opinion, he said,
should be aroused to appreciate the
necessity of keeping Ifloat freighters
built during the war ut q cost of hun
dreds of millions of dollars and to win
back the countrys earlier. distinction
of carrying nearly 80 per cent. OF its
exports in domestic bottoms. He SAID
he would back legislation to this end.
THE lack of interest in the malnten-
ance Of q merchant m2rine mas Dcen
caused largely by the fact that our
business men have found other lines
of endeavor more profitable Senator
Calder said. In the beginning OF our
history the populous ports OF our
country were ranged along the eastern
seaboard. We had to maintain mer-
chant marine. Today the center OF
population is n thousand miles from
The Atlantic and 1000 miles from the
Pacific. Our internal affairs occupy
the attention of the business OF our
country more than our overseas trade
and we have not appreciated the ad-
vantage of maintaining fleet TO carry
our products to the furthcrmost parts
Of the world. l. am in favor oil the
enactment of measures which will as
sure this being done and am certain
that the vast majority OF the people
of our state would support legislation
to assure this result. If we are to eX-
tend our foreign commerce we must
have the ships with which to do It,"

The Mellon idea would give the SOL

number of cigarettes they smoked we
have all seen the old trick in the cir
Gus in which one fool gives another a

ed at the joke when the ball is jerked
back as the pleased recipient walks Off.
That is the Mellon trick in n different
form. OF course more than half the
boys will blow the bonus in as rapid
ly as possible after they get it. That's
nobody's business, however It's theirs
and they should have a right to do
what they please with it. But let's
give them the bonus in a different
way. Let's give them greenbacks.
That's the way to put the tax where
it belongs. 1t will cause a certain
amount Of imitation for the time being,
and that will mean higher prices; but
harder than anybody else il will hit
the fellow whose income is coming
from tax exempted securities. Yes,
let's give the boys greenbacks.
