That old familiar heading, The Indianajiolia Sentinel, looka good again Now if they will commit •ome felonious depredation that will permit their climbing back m the morning field, great will be the rejoicing Municipal ownership, especially in large cities, has received a black [eye. The Glasgow expert sava it is utterly impractical and a failure, where politics rules the avenue to public office. The information from this source will mean that the advocates of municipal ownership must bring forth some new ideas favoring it. before it will ever be given much popular rapport. A high protective, home market administration is building the Panama canal with “pauper labor’’ and “pauper made" materials. The other poor devils, however, must still pay the freight of a protective tariff for “infant industries “ It is perfectly lovely, though, that Uncle Sam is big enough, brave enough and strong enough to resist the impositions of a tariff that is unjust. The lesson taught ought to open the eyes of those who have lieen supporting such a system of tariff taxation. It fully illustrates the democratic position that the tariff is a tax which the consumer pays. A short Hint ago Prank Adams purchased through the Frank |Moenre Agency, a tract of land in French township. Adams <x unty.

This makes Mr Adams a clear profit of one thousand dollars and once the timber is sawed not, it will be even more—Bluffton Banner.

VISITED POPE MissStudabakerand Party Permitted to See Him Received Blessing—Also Saw the hint of Italy Who Saluted the Americans Courteously. Eden Hotel, Rome. May 0, 1905Dear Brother: Your very welcome letter of the 26th, came [a few days ago It was only twelve days on the way. which I think a short time. Margaret and I are having a good time. We both keep well and that is a great thing to be trankful for. Margaret is a splendid traveling companion. The rest of the party are pleasant people and every one tries to be accommodating to the rest. 1 think we will all get along well. Mrs. Robertson is very nice to everyone of us. Thank you for promising to send the weekly Democrat. I will be glad to get it. . You are all so kind to write to me. but the paper will have news you will not take time to write- We have been in Rome nearly a week, but 1 am going to begin with the last, that is our seeing Pope Pius X thi« afternoon. Mrs. Hyat, one of our party, had a letter of introduction to an American prieet, who has some impjrtant position near the pope, and through him she secured cards of admission for all our party to an audience of the pope. There are nine of us, but only seven of us cared to go. The audience was at 4:15 p. m. We drove to the Vatican and after mounVng three or four staircases, and passing the papal guards, we were ushered into a large room. It was about 130 feet long and 60 feet wide and the walls were covered with scarlet silk tapestry. There were a few immense paint ings in great gil t frames on the walls. Chairs upholstered in scar let, silk tapestry were around the sides of the room, and attendants were dreesed in velvet and tapestry of the same shade. When we entered there were not many present, but others were ushered into the room until all seats were filled. About 100 people were present, but it seemed a few in that big room. The doors were closed and a few minutes later a door at the upper end of the room opened and the pope oame in, accompanied by two attendants, not priests, but gentlemen in evening dress. The pipe i s a large, fine looking man. Not as tall as papa, but more like him than

He lo< ked I each person slowly and directly in the face before he oame to them There was one child pnaent a little girl about seven years old, with her mother. He stopped longer with her than anyone else After pass ing slowly around the four sides of the room, he returned to the bead of the room, and stood a few minutes in silence, then said a few sentences slowly in Italian, which we thought meant he hoped we would I all meet again, above and then gave the benediction tn Latin. He turned and walaed slowly ont of the room, accompanied by the two gentlemen in waiting The impression he left was one of sad ness. His face was fine, but he had such a sad expression, almost heartbroken. It is said he did not expect to lie p p? and hid b->ug. t hie return ticket to Venice, his home. He did not want to be pope 1 presume it was put no him in the way of a compromise among those who contest ad for it. He was something like a dark hor-»e in our political conventions. We stayed about five minutes longer, for he had paused tn the large outer room, where a great crowd of people were assembled, and gave them the benediction. and after he lef 1 there the doors were opened ana we went out. It was only about half past five, and we went for a drive on the Jamulnm and Pincian hills. Yes. I must tell you. too, of our seeing the king a few days ago. Four of our party were in a carnage one morning going to an art gallery, when we remembered that a monument to Victor Hugo was to be unveiled at ten a. m that day. We were then a few squares from the royal palace and our ooachman said that if we would stop there we would see the king on his way to the unveiling. We drew to one side and waited. When he drove by we stood up in our carriage and he saw us and took off his hat to u» and then gave us the military sa lute. In another minute they had dashed by. He was in uniform. ' seated m a carnage accompanied by one officer and followed by another carnage containing two officers, the whole accompanied by an escort of thirty or forty cs valry men who rode close to the oar- J nages. They went on a <mart trot. The king looks just like bis pictures. His court is said to be the moot unconventional in Europe and he and the queen are very popular. It is said they are much attached to each other and care nothing for society, but spend their time together. They give two court bulls a year which custom requires, and the rest of the time let society live without them The king drives often, bnt usually

in the country, of which be is very fond. The queen does not appear often in public. , I began thin letter last Tuesday night, but did not get to continue it until now. We left Rome Wed nesday afternoon and went to Sienna Thursday to Pisa and Friday af-' ternoon came here. lam going to ■kip again and tell y.m about the farming, for you told me you wanted me to notioe that and write you about it. From Naplee to Rome, about 120 miles, if I am not mistaken, we passed through the valleys of the A pennies. All of the tillable aoil was cultivated. It was in large farms divided into small fi*lds. A few of the laborers live in huts on the farms, but moot of them live in villages' The ground is carefully cultivated, but by primitive methods. Plows which looked a century old were used, where thty were not hoeing. Nearly all the labor is by hand. In most of the places the ground bore three crops First mulberry trees, which had the branches closely trimmed, so as not to shade the ground, and silk worms feeding on the leaves; second, grape vines were planted beside each tree and raised on poles 16 or 20 feet from the earth, and festooned from tree to tree; third, between the rows I was planted what ws would consider the crop, flax, hemp, mustard, vegetables, grain, etc. Every part utilized. In places the ground was irrigated. From Rome here, over half a day’s journey, the country is even more carefully cultivated. It is like a garden. Mrs. R says that when they first came through here fifteen years ago it was almost uncultivated. Now it is beautiful and prosperous. Factory chimneys can be seen in all the towns and o’ties. Rome and Naples have so many new buildings. I can see a great change since I was here before. Every town «eems prosjierous. It is all due to the government and the people have an incentive to work and ave. Winona Lake, Ind. Fifteen day ticket sale May 10 to September 30, 11.95.
