ity Optimistic Now.

OberliE. Kan. Aug. Crop condi-
tions thruout northern and north
western Kansas today are better than
they have bsen for years. The indi-
cations are that an unusually big corn
crop will be harvested. In northwest
ern counties another rain or two will
guarantee an enormous yield for that
section. There will he a fair yield,
farmers say. even il no more moisture
is received
This condition is particularly true

Slave Raids and Arms

There's a dramatic re-incarnation
of the past in the news that large
shipments of arms and ammunition
from the United States have been
held up by tho French at Jibuti, to
prevent their being delivered to Abys-
s;nians and used for raids to supply
the slave-markot of Adds Abeda, the
Abyssinian capital, where there are
already more slaves than free men
and where the British Legation has
to employ slave kowners and have the
slaves around, tuch against its will,
considering Mo good part of the
"black-ivory" was stolen from British
territory and the thralls are African
subjects Of King George.
Save in rare cases in serving the
labor market of Pacific islands the
slave trade no longer ventures on the
high seas, where it was made piracy
four generations ago.
Still slavery survives on the Dark
Continent, except where British law

Italian law, or Belgian law has ban.
ished it as an institution, too often
substituting forced labor under an
other name. In Abyssinia it appears
at its worst. England and France have
agreed not to supply arms and am
munition to slave-raiders. The United
States has not bound itself in any
way. Technically the shippers of this
consignment which has been held up
are entitled to protection from Wash
ington. Yet our conjecture is that
they will produce no international
crisis. The delays of diplomacy when
all humanity demands inaction are of

Summary Way of
Changing Government

Tirana, Albania, Feb. 1.-Turbu-
lent Albania has summary way Of
changing governments. The other
day, when the regents got tired Of
the administration Of Pendeh Evan
geli, Prime Minister, they told him
to resign or there would be blod-
shed. He refused.
He was given IL hours in which to
choose between the loss of his po-
sition and the loss of his head. Al
midnight he went to his hotel to de.
lberate oif>the stern ultimatum.
An hour later a group of repre-
sentative Albanians, among then
several members of the government
called upon the Pfemier and told
him those in authority would brook
no delay in his resignation. The
emissaries were accompanied by sol
diers with rifles and machine guns
They explained of he didn't get out
blood would be spilled, innocent peo
pie killed, and revolution might en-
sue. Hasan's regime was short-livet
too. His administration was a fail
ure. He suffered the same fate as
his predecessors, although the term:
of his resignation were not quite Sc

as those Of Evangeli. The regent:

Switzerland's New President

Switzerland has chosen DR.. Robert
Haab, Germa., Swiss of Zurich, as
president for lo22. President Haab
is lawyer by profession, who in the
war displayed administrative ability
as a railroad Gnector. Since quitting
this post he has been member of the
Federal Council.
The Swiss president does not have
very extensive executive powers. He
shares authority with the Federal
Council, a body of seven men, over
which he prcsides much as chairman.
Although the Swiss have referendum
and recall, popular election of judges
in some cantons and other practices of
direct popular government, the mem
bers of the Federal Council are elect
ed by the National Council and by the
Council Of State, corresponding to our
house of representatives and senate,
and not by popular vote.
This system Of indirect voting has
resulted in continuity of policy in
Swiss Federal affairs, for the Councils
have usually appointed to office only
men who have had long experience in
public affairs. The same men are
reelected to the Federal Council for
term after term.
There are constitutionalists who
would transplant Swiss institutions
into other countries as panacea for
all political ailments. The success of
the Swiss government at home, how
ever, is due less to its form than to
the general tolerance which character
izes Swiss political life and to the pc
culiar geographical situation and it's
relations with it's neighbors.-New
York Herald Gnd.)

! The College is required to meet on
the 10th day after the death of a

Gitional also that the Pope should

l. is stated that this tradition has

years.
The Cardinals will meet for the
opening of the conclave in the Sis.
tine Chapel where mass for the Holy
Ghost will be said by the Cardina
Dean. They will then proceed witt
their officers and assistants to that

The Cardinals will be walled in

taken. Large crowds gather daily
in the square of st. Peter to watch

Failure to see the smoke at the
usual time serves as a signal to the
crowd that a new Pontiff has been
