THE NEW POPE
la the way the successor 01
Plug x. lias been chosen there
is a. strong guaraateo that he wiK
prove moderate, broad, democratic
aad tactful la great office. If
ha lacked the personal qualities
aeecwary to insure wisdom and
wide sympathies he would never
have beea elect d.
It is practically unheard of that
A cardinal should be ^derated to
the papacy only four months after
he was made & member of the col
lege. it could never have hap
pened if Giacomo Delia Chiesa
had not impressed his colleagues
with a deep sense of his fitness. In
&o other .way would it have been
possible, t* unite two-third# of the
cardinal^ present in the support of
a comparatively young and unut
recently little itaown associate.
Benedict XV-, like his much
loved predecessor, was bora and
reared ia Northern Italy, as near to
Genoa as PI us X. to Yenice.
Although his family was not iu so
humble a station as that of the
Sartcs there Is nothing in his ori
gin to makij it difficult for him
to continue the broadly sympathet
ic and modern attitude toward
democracy of life and feeling
which marked the pontifiacte of
the Door peasant's son who rose to
the highest place iu the Catholic
church.
It is well assured that the new
Poye will be conciliatory ju his at
titude toward the Italian govern
men; and moderate and tactful in
hi« administration of the great
offive to which he has been elevat
ed. His learning and high abili
ties may be taken for granted, and
he >s ia the full vigor of an active
life with every reason to expect
many years of usefulness.—Cleve
land Leader. .

ox the convention
The democrats of the First divi

Among others is Senator Tanner, of
Skagway, wjio has been a prominent
Wickersham supporter for years and
was elected as a non-partisan. Well,
Uncle SI now seeks to lead the dem
ocratic lambs as a shepherd leads
his sheep, but those real old demo
crats for many years th-rough thick
cratii for many years through thick

»er. A ticket was named yesterday
to Include N. J. Svindeth for sena
tor, and C. F. Cheek, G. Forrest
and C. M. McGrath for representa
tives. Wm. Britt, of Juneau, treas
urer of the democratic campaign
committee, who was named for rep

vention, has been passed up like" a

There is talk among the battling

Country Can't Dodge
Prosperity it It
Tries
By IOHN V FAR WELL, Dry

THE biggest crops of all kinds
for years are reported by trav
eling men. The railroads have
arranged to handle the produce as
fast as it is delivered. Our mar
kets are waiting to receive the ship
ments, and the bankers are anxious
to get their reserve cash into circu
lation. With these potential fac
tors at work the COUNTRY CAN
NOT DODOE PROSPERITY if ii
tries.
