POPE PIUS
IS LOVED
Tomorrow all Catholics Will Celebrate the
Elevation of Pius to the Papacy—Humble
and Gentle, Honest and Wise the Head of
the Roman Chufch is Revered and Respect
ed by all.
Home, Aug. 3. —Tomorrow will tnnrk the fourth anniversa
ry of the elevation of Cardinal Guiseppe Sarto, patriarch of Ven
ice, to the papacy as Pius X., and preparations have been made
for celebrating the occasion with due solemnity in all the
churches of Italy. The college of cardinals will be received by
tlie pope in collective audience and the dean will read an address
of congratulation and wish the pope many more years of pontifi
cate in the name of Ills colleagues. The several colleges of pre
lates will also extend their greetings to Pius and all them liti
tary and lay officials of the Vatican will send delegations to the
papal apartment to convey their best wishes to the venerable
prelate of the church. Messengers have arrived from many Ku
ropcan sovereigns, the emperor of Austria marking the occa
sion, as in |wist years, by a gift of old wine for the personal use
of His Holiness. Messages of congratulation are already pour
ing in from all parts of the world, cables having been received
from many prominent churchmen and laymen of America.
Despite the troubles in France and
the black clouds that have at times
hovered over the Vatican, the per
sonal popularity of Pius X has not in
the least decreased since he ascended
the throne four years ago. It is be
lieved here that the pope, by reason
of his personal affability, democracy
and piety, will regardless of tempo
rary obstacle, obtfiin in the end
more advantages for the church than
some of his more scholarly and dip
lomatic predecessors, who placed be
tween them and their followers the
insurmountable dignity pertaining to
their great and holy office.
Plus X is just as humble today as
he was on August 4 four years ago,
when he was suddenly raised from
the commonplace position of a pro
vincial bishop to the highest spiritual
office In the world. The dignity at
taching to his position, the pomp
and splendor of his surroundings, the
veneration of millions of followers In
all parte of the world and the auto
cratic powers conferred upon him
have loft him simple aiul unspoiled.
Nor has Plus X found the career of
a pope devoid of great ami tremend
ous duties—duties which ho has met
with the same simple faith as mark
ed his demeanor when patriarch of
Venice. His path has been beset with
difficulties of ail kinds. The war

THE NEW GOD---THE PUBLIC
By N. DWIGHT HILLIS
j
l
t
Our generation seems to have built a throne for a new and strange god. ‘
The name of this potentate Is called by some "the Public," by others "so- j
ciety,” while another group term It "the Twentieth Century.” t
The worshipers never tire of singing paens in celebration of this won- 1
derful form In deity. In Voltaire's play the courtiers spoiled the young
prince with flattery. They never tired of burning incense that he might !
breathe the sweet odor, they cheered the foolish boy’s maudlin words, they
wove innumerable wreaths for his low forehead. Aiul not otherwise men
never tire of telling us that “the public" was never so intelligent as today,
"society” was never so wise or so prosperous. The twentieth century has
more tools, more conveniences, more comforts than ever before were
known. The forehead of this god named "the public" must he wondrous
high. I
But, strangely enough, "the pub- t
lie" does not seem to have published t
any poem or drama of late that has
eclipsed the Bard of Stratford or of i
the Arno. v
There was an emperor in Rome 1
who used to say, the Roman public c
never was so prosperous, no genera- \
tion ever enjoyed such comforts and r
conveniences, or was protected by f
such armies. But one day the phan- l
tom, dissolved, the Illusion hurst like
a bubble. The ruler had remembered l
"the public" and Roman society, hut t
had forgotten the individual soldier j
and pntriot, the individual hero and t
statesman. Having no great Individ- t
uals ho fell back on the public and i
ills wonderful century. One morning t
lie awakened to find that, his prov- I
inces were lost. that.his palace had »
been captured, his villas burned, his 1
wife sold as a slave and his great etn- t
pire had shrunk to the dimensions 1
of a little dungeon. <
But n great ago begins with the -
individual man. The fountain of all |
invention, science, art and literature
is in personal excellence. At great
age means that great men march for
ward in regiments. There is no great
twentieth century for me. if person
ally I am small. Every citizen should
say. What ship did 1 build? What
great plow did I fashion? What cot
tage or factory or palace or library
did I help build? What poem or ora
tion or law did I write? What
thread in the flag of liberty did 1
stain crimson with self-sacrifice? if
I have.made no contribution to this
century, then for ine the century Is
not great and the age never can be
golden.
Eighty million Shetland ponies will
not. through weight of numbers, in
crease their mile-in-ten-mlnutes
gait to the speed of a Kentucky ra
cer. The mere grouping of 80,000,-
000 of commonplace souls does not
make a great nation.
Bigness Is one filing, greatness an
other. One diamond Is more than
eighty million pebbles. One out
standing man may outweigh all his
fellows in terms of liberty or jus
tice or Invention.
This over-emphasis of the func
tions of the public roaches its climax
In those social paupers whose eyes
are always turned toward the public
bin Thev think society owes them
a living. ' They want the state to
supply all their needs. Does the child
in the public school complain that Its
eves ache? Bet the state .buy specta
cles for all the school children and
hand out a pair to each boy passing
by Does some child hunger In the
morning? Let the state open soup
kitchens and furnish free breakfasts
for all school children every morning.
And lest some be not sufficiently
amused and without recreation In

banishment of the religious orders, ,
the disestablishment of the church, ■
the seizure of church property—all ■
these and other manifestations of a
warfare not yet ended have greatly
perturbed the pope hut have not in
the least lessened his faith in the
final supremacy of the church. A i
new and critical situation unexpected ,
and unsuai, has been presented to the
pope, out he has faced it with an eye
to the best Interests of the church
In France.
For a time the well-known liberal (
views of the pope in his relations
with the Italian government were ;
flecked when ills position as the
head of the churh placed him face to i
face with the house of Savoy. Grad- |
ually, however, he has recognized the
necessity of a reconciliation to save i
Italy from becoming a godless and ’
church less nation, no matter how -
many of the temporal rights of the }
Holy See w-ere to be lost by the com- i
promise. His first move in permit
ting Italian Catholics to take part in ]
elections for the first time in thlr- (
ty-four years, was the beginning of a i
policy of liberalism which lie has
since steadfastly earired out. This at-
titude of conciliation he lias deterni- (
Ined to carry out In order to save
Italy to the chureh and check the t
growing power of the social demo
crats and anti-clericals. 0

themselves to Its gift of bread let
the state add a circus every night.
These foolish thinkers seem to sup
pose that the state is a magician that
waves a wand, and, 10, a granary is
filled with spectacles, loaves, boxes
of magic. By this legerdemain in the
world of industry the individual is
relieved of the necessity of work,
forethought, alertness and self-de
nial.
The child that blows a soap bub
ble with one breath, with a second
exhalation can blow the bubble away.
And it in not hard to break this illu
sion uhout tlie public bin. Consider
that nothing goes into society’s gran
ary that has not been placed there by
the eighty millions of hands. Each
individual cun only take something
out of the social granary provided he
has first of all put something in. If
every right hand labors hard all day
long carrying treasure to the granary
every left hand thrust In will al
ways he sure that there Is something
in the treasure house to he taken out.
But what if all people stop putting
treasure in the granary? From noth
ing nothing comes.
Away with this foolish tauk about
the state owing one a living! It!
ought to be a matter of pride with)
every man that he hajj paid his own
way and produced more than ho has
consumed. For society that man rep
resents a iwior investment who cannot
pay for liis own keep. The man who
says, "I had to beg or steal otherwise
I would have died" has made a mis
take in iiis thinking. Death is a
mere nothing compared to lying or
stealing. Better die a thousand
times than lie once. There Is noth
ing this country stands in more need
of than the spectacle of one or two
men who would rather die than steal
or beg or lie. To behold that as
tounding sight eighty millions of peo
ple would turn aside and marvel. It
Is as honorable to die rather than
beg or steal ns it fc to die for liberty
or country.
The need of the hour Is for a re
-1 vial of self-reliance. The hope of
society Is iu Individual excellence,
the sense of personal worth, and the
accumulation of weight of individual
manhood. The public is a phantom.

MOTHER BADLY SHOCKED
OVER DAUGHTER’S PLIGHT
Rare Presence of Mind Displayed
by Miss Sherwood When
Caught by a Live
Wire
Late yesterday afternoon Lottie,
the pretty sixteen-year old daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Sherwood, re
siding on North Fifth street, met with
an accidnet that might have proven
very serious indeed had it not boon
for the rare presence of mind dis
played by the brave young girl. . .
Miss Sherwood was in her bed room
in the second story of the house and
was cleaning off the electric light
globe which was suspended in the
usual way from the ceiling. Evi
dently the girl’s hand was damp and.
she suddenly came in contact with the
electric power. The current was so
strong that the girl’s hand was held
to the wire, she being unable for the
time being to release it and naturally
she suffered great pain. She called to
her mother who was on the lower
floor to bring her a pair of -scissors.
The young girl quickly taking in the
situation planned to release her hand
by cutting the wire from above the
globe. The mother became terribly
frightened nt once and was soon hys
terical. In her excitement she was
, unable to locate the scissors and she
feared that her daughter would be
. burned to death. In the meantime
' the neighbors were attracted by the
screams from the Sherwood homo
and several of the ladies rushed im
’ mediately to the home. However the
brave little girl had finally succeed-
I ed in releasing her hand without the
I service of the scissors. Her hand was
painfully burned and she received a
jevero shock but otherwise she was
. uninjured.
, The frightened mother received
' such a severe nervous shock and ter
* rifle scare that she was very ill and
very hysterical for hours. She Is
, getting along nicely this morning.
Miss Sherwood’s escape from very
j serious injury was indeed a narrow
3 one and she is to he commended up
. on her nerve and the calm and delib
j orate manner she went about saving
herself.
{ Mr. Sherwood is the owner of (lie
j big brick livery barn on Colorado
y . avenue and the family is well known.
