Thu January campaign for renewals to the Daily Democrat and the new Hubscriptions was the most successful in a dozen years and we are more than grateful to the hundreds who made it so. If there is any way we can serve you other than we are, tell us about it, and let us try to do it. ____________ If the state tax hoard persists In the announced intention of appraising the property of Indiana at the valuations placed thereon three years ago with tho thirty per cent horizontal increase, the protest of Mayor Shank recently made will seem very mild, indeed, lo what they will hear. The people have had enough of centralized power to last a long time. John W. Tyndall, who is well known in Wells county, one of the old war horses of democracy, is being touted for a candidate for congress for the Eighth district. Mr. Tyndall is one of ' the real go-getters in this part of the state. He served a couple of terms in | the state senate several years ago, | and has always been on deck when his i party called. —Blufftou Banner. _ i If you failed to attend the concert | given at the gym last evening by Director David Rice and the twenty-two 1 members of the Decatur City band, and the several soloists, yon missed a 1 rare treat and an opportunity to show your appreciation of the hours of offort to prepare for a delightful evening of music. It was splendid and - worth while and the boys were entitled to a packed house.

Every one will agree with Governor McCray that the government must be maintained and that he has no power to change the laws or to do away with commissions. What the people object to mostly is the powers assumed h> the state boards which are not pro vided in the law. If the tax board has the right to force valuations for more than property is worth they certainly have too much power and the supreme court surely would not approve such an act. As a result of the terrible Knickerbocker theater acident last Saturday evening, efforts will be made to secure some rights of city government. Control of the district of Columbia by congress has never been satisfactory, and much of the blame for the accident may eventually come back on the body, whose duty it is now to investigate. A city of half a million people should have at least the rights to Inspect buildings and otherwise protect her citizens. The democrats of Adams county should become enthusiastic over the Jefferson club, should assist in securing members and in making the club a moans of real benefit to the county, btato and nation. The, first meeting on the evening of February 10th will

tip of much interest and you will enjoy It. Start the new officers off by packing the house. I jet’s make them seek bigger quarters. President Kelly ■will do everything he can to make the club a big success as wjll the other, officers. but they need your assistance. Start boosting right now. \ The city of Washington, capital of the United States, has been the scene of many gay events in the past, notable occasions in which mingled the great men of the world. It is a busy,

1 1 cosmopolitan city In which life pays a | big part and this, therefore, the saddest week in all her history, is unusual. A hundred funerals within three days has east a gloom over gay Washington which will bo long In lift, lng and the sympathies of the people of the entlro nation go out to those whose hearts are torn with grief over 1 the loss of dear ones In the recent theater disaster. Evidently the administration has pulled some smooth politics In removing by appointment to a federal Judgeship, the groat progressive leader,; Senator Kenyon. The legislation in favor of the farmer, including the, packers’ control, the anti-grain gambling law, extension of credits, were in fact largely due to tho efforts of the western senator, acknowledged leader of the “farmers’ bloc.” He led the fight against Newberry, opposed the lowering of surtaxes and otherwise made himself somewhat obnoxious to the standpatters, and so it was decided to give him a place on the federal bench where he will not bo'.her the law makers. Tho surprise is that so great a man, to whom millions looked for leadership, wuld be thus sidetracked. It Is a keen loss for. the pea pie and about the only victory the oldline leaders have enjoyed since assura lng control of the government

HOW THE POPE IS ELECTED (Continued from page one) lessors, physicians anti servants oi various kinds are examined or ap pointed by a special commission ant* all are equally sworn to secrecy and not to hinder tho election. A large part of the Vatican Palace including two or three floors, is walled off for the conclave, and the space If divided off into apartments, each wit! three or four small rooms or cells, in each of which are a crucifix, a bed, r table and a few chairs. Access to the conclave Is free through one door only, locked from without by the mar shal of the conclave and from withir hy the Cardinal Camerlengo. Oncf tlie conclave begins, the door is no’ open again until the election is an nounced, except to admit a Cardina’ who is late in arriving. All communi cation from the outside is forbidder under pain of loss of office and, ipsr facto, ex-communication. Every pre caution is observed to exclude tliosf who have no right within the enclos urn and also unnecessary communica ♦ion with the outside. Papal legisla tion lias forbidden any ante-electior ■gr cements binding on the new Pope and it is also forbidden the Cardinal?

to treat of the Papal succession among themselves during the Pope's lifetime. “The cells of the Cardinals are covered with cloth, purple if they are the 'ast Pope's ‘creation;” green if they are not. The government of the conclave is in the hands of the Cardinal Camcrlengo and of the three representative Cardinals, one from each of the throo Cardinalitlai Orders, who sue -■cod one another in the order of seniority every three days.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 1,1922. *

“The Cardinals assemble In the Pauline Chapel on the morning of the eleventh day and assist at the Mass of the Cardinal Dean.- They receive communication from his hands and listen to a I>tln allocution on their obligation to select the moat worthy pereon for tho Chair of Peter. After the Maas they assemble In the Sistlno Chapel, where tho actual voifng takes place. “A paten and chalice are used In voting for the new Pope and six lighted candles are placed on the altar of the Sistlno Chapel. The Papal throne is removed and before each chair is placed a hiiiull writing desk. The Car dinals enter the chapel accontpanieil by the conclavists bearing portfolios and writing materials. Prayers are then said by the Bishop sacristan, the ballots are distributed and then all are excluded except the Cardinals, one of whom bars the door.

Though since the time of Urban VI, elected in 1378, none but a Cardinal has been chosen Pope, there is no law which reserves to the Cardinals alone this right. The usual form of election is the secret ballot, and it the successful candidate requires a twothirds vote exclusive of his own. When there is a close vote, and then only, the ballot of the Pope-elect, which alike all the others is distin guishable by the text of Scripture written one one of the outside folds, 's opened to make sure that he did not vote for himself. “Each Cardinal deposits his vote in the chalice on the altar and at the same time takes an oath that he is sleeting the one whom according to Jod he thinks ought to be elected. When the ballots are shaken up and counted, if the number agrees with he number of electors, the votes are mnounced, each Cardinal meanwhile :hecking them oft as they are read. "When the required two-thirds vote s not obtained, the ballots are conmmed In a stove, whose chimney extends through a window of the Sistino Chapel. When there Is no election, straw is mixed with the ballots to thow by Its thick smoke that there has been no election. “When the candidate has received ‘he required votes the Cardinal Dean irocccds to ask him whether he will vccept the election and by what name he wishes to bo known. “Since the time of John XII. each '’ope takes a new name in imitation if St. Peter’s change of name. The wasters of ceremonies lower the canipies of all the Cardinals' seats except that of the Pope-elect, and he is conducted to a neighboring room where he Is clothed in the Papal garments. The Cardinals then advance ind pay him their first homage. The Pope then either confirms or appoints ’he Cardinal Camerlengo, who puts m his finger the Fishermen's ring. This is followed by the proclamation to the people, made by the senior Cardinal Deacon in St. Peter’s itself."

AT LITTLE ROCK (Continued from page one) he source or cause of the heat that loils the water, or where this mysterious flow began. This city was once famous for its horse racing and well furnished gambling houses and devises of various sorts, fortunes being made and lost many times in a single day or evening, but this has all been abolished; at least nothing is apparent, i 'and one occasionally hears the com- ' plaint that this action on the part of law enforcement killed the town, and it certainly did for this industry, as it seems now in the language of “Hilly” Sunday “as clean as a hound's tooth." We had the pleasure of accepting an invitation to dinner with Mr. and Mrs. John Mason, formerly of Decatur, (now of Jonesboro), and they certainly have not forgotten Decatur and old friends, for they kept us busy answering questions about their former acquaintances, and ask that they be remembered to any who knew them. We get the Democrat regularly; we are quite well at present. Mueli more in which one is interested might be written or, but why be tiresome? So we beg to remain As ever, MR. AND MRS. D. N.

Well, it has not only helped me. but. I have actually gained twenty-five pounds since taking it and never felt better in my life," said Mrs. Marie J. Howard, graduate nurse of Bellevue hospital, 402 Westlake avenue. North, Seattle, Wash. "My appetite is good now and my stomach is in such splendid condition that everything I eat agrees with me. I used to be bothered a good deal by my kidneys and liver, but now they seem to be normal in every way. "My nerves are calm and steady and I sleep like a child every night. I have had a great deal of experience with medicine and I don’t, hesitate to recommend Taulac to those who have stomach trouble and kindred complaints.” Tanlac is sold In Decatur by Smith, Yager & Falk’s and by leading druggists everywhere.

This service is free. For some years past the company has made a point of seeing that meters and gas pipes are installed so that they cannot be affected by frost, consequently “No-Gas” complaints are growing fewer and fewer everj year. Such a complaint from a modern building is almost unheard of, but they still come in from the older buildings. Customers can co-operate with the company and prevent inconvenience to themselves by seeing that basements and rooms where meters are located are not allowed to get below freezing point. Icy blasts from doors and windows should be prevented, and all reasonable precautions taken. Prevention is always better than the best of tuies. If, however, a customer is unfortunate enough to have to turn in a “No-Gas” complaint, he may rest assured that the gas man will use extraordinary efforts and do aH in his power to restore the gas service at that location as speedily as possible.
