VOLUME 11. NUMBER 15. oo ROMPOLLA MAY BE CHOSEN NEXT POPE Condition of Pope Pius Improved But Death of Aged Pontiff is Soon Expected. MERRY DEL VAL WANTS PLACE Holds Position at the Present Time as Cardinal Secretary of State. STILL ONLY 48 YEARS OF AGE Which Fact Would Ordinarily Bar Him as Being Considered as a Papal Candidate. By HENRY W0OD. (Rome Correspondent of the United Press.) Rome, May 15.—Though Pope Pius has so far recovered from his recent critical illness as to enable him to receive several Cardinals in aud- ience today, in addiiton to devoting a considerable portion of his work- day to matters referred to him by Merry del Val, the fact is.generally recognized that the aged Pontiff has lost 80 much ground as to make the matter of his death an event to be expected at any time. This condition has very naturaly served to crystalize the issues and the question of the candidates about which will center the selection-of the next Pope. In the situation three important motives will largely dictate the choice of the next Holy Father. First there will be the strong element of person- ality, second the » element of the the church’s religious policy, and third the element of the church’s fu- ture political attitude. = That the personal element will be the strongest’ geems a certainty. No sécrét is now made of the fact that the recent illness of the Pope has brought to a definite focus opposi- tion largely amongst the older mem- bers of the Sacred College to Merry del Val and his policies. This un- popularity dates back to the time when Merry del Val was created Car- dinal secretary of state, a .position rarely if ever occupied by a foreign cardinal or by any other than a car- dinal grown gray in the diplomatic service of the Vatican. Still only 48 years of age, Merry del Val would ordinarily be barred by his age alone, from’ being serious- 1y considered a papal candidate. But he is a shrewd man at the height of his powers, a man of unusual ability with a genius for politics and diplom- acy and a consuming ambition to be Pope. He will enter the consistory asgured of a good following on the first ballot and with a determination to either secure the high- office him- -self or force the choice of some other cardinal who will retain him in his present position as cardinal secretary of state. ‘At the same tlme there will also enter the conclave as an avowed can- didacy for the Papacy, Cardinal Rompolla, former secretary of state under Pope Leo XIII, and who but for the veto exercised on behalf of the eror of Austria would have been choice of the last election. Car- dinal"Rompolla will oppose any policy of Merry del Val and about these two ~men—undoubtedly the -most forceful and resourceful in the Sacred College—will center the contest. Auer the question of personality the “Sacred College will unquestion- ably be largely influenced in its choice by the probable attitude of var- ious possibilities to the future relig- m\u policy of the church. Pope Pius ha8 consistently striven against “mpdernism”; and the attitude of any ca{zdidlte toward the present Pope’s policies will have weight when the Sacred College begins to vote. Pos- sibly the Cardinal whose “modern- isq" is most clearly defined is Maffi, of Pisa. Should the tendency toward “modernism” manifest itself in the consistory Mafil would admittedly be a strong probability. After the question of religious pol- 6y will come that ‘of the church’s mlmm attitude. The important is- sue in this respect is whether the kingdom, the church could 1se in some manner. - While Cardinal Pope should be releagsed from virtual |- fmprisonment in the Va.tican through 3 R EK KRR RKK KKK * WALKING ON THE WATER * EE KKK KKK KK Copyright b International News Service; Supplied by New Process Company, N.

A German Inventor Has Just Perfect- ed a New Skate Which Has Re- sulted in a New Form of Outdoor Sport. “Seven League Boots™ of fairy book fame have become true in that the same result is gained by fast train, racing automobile or aeroplane, but it remained for a clever German in- ventor to actually accomplish the miracle of walking on the water. “Walking on the water,” of the Wan River, Germany, has become very popular. In Germany they call it “water skating,” for the skater or walker sort of wafts himself along with the aid of his paddle. Attached to his feet are two air tight pontoons. It appears very simple to the casual observer of this water skating, but it requires much skill to prevent being suddenly overturned. Once the skat- er becomes proficient, however, acei- dents are rare. SHERIFF N BAUDETTE Left This Morning to‘ Outline' Work For Deputy John-R. Dundas of That City. HAS CHARGE IN NORTH END Sheriff Andrew Johnson left this morning for Baudette, where he went to ascertain the condition of the de- linquent tax collections in the north- ern part of Beltrami county. John R. Dundas of that city looks after the duties of the sheriff’s office for the north end of the county and will be busy making delinquent tax collec- tions. The sheriff received instructions from the county board at their last meeting to make the collections or levy on the property, which Mr. John- son says he will carry out to the let- ter. - He and his force have been hard at work cleaning up back- taxes in this part of the county the past week and reports that there still remain about fifty delinquents, the greater portion of whom have promised to. pay up. . If these payments- are not made, under the new law, the sheriff must make.& levy and force the col- lection. e “1 will show no favoritism, and push the work with all possible speed. My duty is clear and I am going to perofrm it,” said Mr. Johnson before leaving for the morth. He will be gone for several days. .

It is a resting place, whither at the close of the day the weary retire to gather new strength for the battles and toils of tomorrow. It is a place where love learns its lessons; where life is schooled into discipline and strength; where character is moulded. “Out of the homes of a community comes, the life of a community,-as a 9 W.
