Torrance, the re- cently appointed county attorney, would be weak kneed when it came to doing his duty in unpleasant cases, they must have awakened from their slumber with a start when they read his response to the Peterson- George mandamus writ before Judge Stanton yesterday. As a convincing, straightforward statement of fact Mr. Torrance’s document is a model. Judged by his first act of public note, Beltrami county has a right to feel proud of her representative. “STOP IT” CRIES GRIEF STRICKEN FATHER. The father of St. Croix Johnstone, the aviator who lost his life Monday in Chicago, cried out against such exhibitions as now are on in that city, although he admits that man must conquer the air. Dr. Stuart Johnstone, the flyer’s father, has made this public state- ment: “Write in protest against this new Moloch that is swallowing up so many of the best of our young men. My boy is dead, a sacrifice to his quality. As a flyer he was conserva- tive, studying the art from the view- point of the elimination of its dan- gers. “He desired to specialize and study. cross-country work. He was a type of dozens of others who are gone and dozens more now on the brink of the same sacrificial slaughter at this avia- tion meet. & “We cannot prevent their loss, you say. Man must conquer the air. “You can, I say, and still must conquer the air. It is perfectly ob- vious that these frail machines will break with a terrible strain put upon them. It is just as true in the hands of the best mechanician, motors will act erratically, break, stop. “Now, let the inventive geniu$ that has brought them to their present state of perfection devise some life- preserving agencies that will remove the pitiful helplessness of these men when the-inevitable happens. Until this is done, in the name of human- ity, I call on them to stop all public flying :and to end further sacrifice.” IF POPE P.OUS X SHOULD DIE. That Pope Pius X cannot last much longer is becoming a matter of con- viction in all quarters. As a conse- quence the possibility of the immi- nent conclave is in the thoughts of all persons connected with the Vati- can, though there is not the slightest sign as yet of canvassing or intrigue among the Cardinals for the chair of St. Peter. Nevertheless. prognos- tications as the: possible successor to the present Pontiff are being made. The Sacred College now has only forty-nine members, twenty-eight Italians and twenty-one foreigners. The Italian majority is strong in number, but it is stronger still in influence. Nearly all of the Italian Cardinals reside in Rome and direct all the .affairs of the Papacy. As heads of congregations-they have the power exercised elsewhere by cabinet ministers. Their views are carried out by Italian subordinates. All the Papal nucios are Italian, depending from an Italian Cardinal secretary of state. The majority of the Vati- can officials are Italian, from the high chamberlain of the apostolic palace to the lowest menial employed about the premises. All these peo- ple, with their influence, which is strong, have nothing to gain and everything to lose from a foreign successor to Pius X. Foreign Cardinals being thus out of the contest, the choice of the next Pope will be confined to one of the twenty-eight Italian members of the Sacred College. The best Catholic sentiment in Rome at the present time seems to be unanimous in its expression in favor of Cardinal Ram- polla as successor to Pius X. Cardi- nal Rampolla came near being a suc- cessful candidate in 1903 when the present Pope was chosen. It may be assumed that the Cardinals who vot- ed for him at the last conclave will again support him, while it is well known that many of his former ad- versaries are now his supporters. Pius X himself is reported to have said that he felt that his successor should be Leo XIV, thus clearly des- ignating Rampolla, whose policy would have been a continuation of that of Leo XIII. The election of Rampolla at the last canclave was prevented only by Austria’s veto. There will be no men- tion of a veto at the next conclave, for one of the first acts of Pope Pius X was the promulgation of a consti- tution ‘abolishing the veto power of Austria, Spain and France in the Papal elections and prohibiting Car- dinals under the pain of excommuni- cation from receiving even in the form of a simple desire -any demand for their good offices in presenting a veto or making it known in the con- clave regardless of whatever manner it may have come to their knowledge. Cardinal Rampolla is without ex- ception at the present time the most notable figure of the Sacred College. He is a Sicilian by birth and it was just sixty-eight¢ years -ago yesterday that he first saw the light of day. He was educated at the College Ca- pranica and the Academy of the Noble Ecclesiastics in Rome, and in 1875 became attached to the nuncia- ture at Madrid. In 1877 he became secretary of the congregation of Oriental Rites. In 1862 he was created titular Arch- bishop of St. Heracles and sent to Spain as nuncio. He was created and proclaimed Cardinal, March 14, 1887, taking title from the Church of St. Cecelia, and a few months later was named secretary of state. Since the death of his former chief, Pope Leo XIII, he has lived a very retired life, restricting his acitivities almost ex- clusively to his duties as head priest of St. Peter's. The distinguished family connec- tions of Cardinal Rampolla, his inti- mate acquaintance with Spanish and English affairs, and his abilities to cope with political statesmen are well known. Also he is quite as famous for his learning as for his ability. He has written the best works extant upon the traditions of the Greek church, and upon the infallibility of the Pope, and he is the author of a notable volume on the historical ac- curacy of the story of the Maccabees. Another: advantage -possessed- by chair of St. ePter s his patrician ancestry, for it is a tradition of the church that the Pope should be a man of patrician bhj}l_l. miration for Cardinal Gibbons, Arch- bishop Ireland and other members of the liberal party of the Catholic church in America. L0G YALUABLE AGENGY The City Drug Store of this city have just closed a deal whereby they will continue to be agents for ZEMO —the well known remedy for .Eec- zema, Dandruff, and all diseases of the:skin and scalp. The extraordinary leap that this clean-liquid external treatment for skin affections has made into public favor in the last few years proves its wonderful curative properties and makes it indeed a valuable addition to the fine stock of remedical agents carried by the City Drug Store. They. have a limited supply of samples one of which will be given free to any skin sufferer who wishes to test the merit of the medicine.
