CHANGES DUE IN CHURCH GOVERNMENT
Washington, D. C, Oct. 30. The American members of the Roman Catholic hierarchy are well pleased with the new papal constitution which will go into effect on Tuesday next, Nov. 3. They aer looking forward with
great deal of satisfaction to the day ;
which will elevate the United States from a mission country to the rank and status of a regularly recognized Roman Catholic state, with the right and prerogative of dealing direct with the Roman Congregations through the papal secretary of state, instead of dealing with the propaganda which heretofore has had charge of all matters pertaining to mission countries. Under the new papal constitution which will go Into effect next week the United States, Great Britain, Holland, Canada, Newfoundland, Gibraltar and Luxembourg are removed from the Jurisdiction of the propaganda, which forms one of the nineteen congregations in Rome, to whom the administration of all church matters is entrusted. The propaganda, which Is headed by'Cardinal Gotti, has heretofore ben one of the most important and powerful of the congregations, but by the new constitutions its powers will be materially diminished. In addition to changing the status and powers of. the propaganda the papal edict provides for other reforms, reorganizing the modus of the congregations through a more suitable division of subjects and eliminating the duplication of authority and regulating the work of the ancient tribunals of the Rota and Segnatura. By the terms of the edict both civil and criminal litigations are removed from the Jurisdiction . of the congregations and intrusted to the tribunals of the Rota and the Segnatura. The'congregations retain only disciplinary powers. A new congregation regulating discipline and the sacrament is created, its duties including also questions regarding marriages, while the dogmatic side of the sacraments remains under the Jurisdiction of the congregation of the Holy Office, which has exclusive Jurisdiction over mixed marriages, where one of the parties is non-catholic. The pope remains prefect of the Holy Office. The importance of the Congregation of the Consistory, of which the pope Is also prefect, is augmented byentrustlng to it the creation of bishops and the supervision over and direction of the rules of dioceses and seminaries and also deciding questions of competence between the congregations. All disputed questions, not merely matters of conscience, go to the Rota in the first instance and then to the Segnatura as a supreme court. The Rota works also as a court of appeals, both for sentence pronounced by other courts or-by Itself. ; In the later case the matter must be submitted to different Judges. The Segnatura is constituted a court of cessation in four cases: as an appeal court against an entire sentence of the . Rota; in the
case of alleged nullity of a sentence; in the case of suspicion against a Judge of the Rota and to hear suits for damages against Judges of the Rota. Anyone can appeal against the decisions of these courts with or without the assistance of lawyers, and a special body of lawyers has been formed, the members of which have pledged themselves to assist the poor gratuitously. Beginning with next Tuesday the Rota , will become an international court with ten Judges, one of them an English speaking one. The Segnatura
will be entirely composed of cardinals. The practical result of the new conditions will be that the countries removed from the Jurisdiction of the Propaganda Instead of applying to the latter for the decision of all questions must apply to the suitable congregation, to the resort of which the matter may pertain. The creation of new dioceses and the appointment of new bishops will be dealt with by the secretaryship of state, after which they will be sent in trust to the congregation of the Consistory to carry out the decision. While heretofore all questions were gratuitously dealt with by the Propaganda as established for missionary lands, after next Tuesday the payment of the usual fees will be exacted. The congregation of the Consistory which replaces the congregation of the Propaganda In the nomination of American bishops, and which is presided over by the pope, will have as its secretary Cardinal DeLai. The members of this congregation, numbering fourteen, include Cardinals Murry del Val, Moran, Oreglla, Seraflo, Vannutelll, Martinelli, Rampolla and Gottl. Among the Judges of the Rota are Monsignor Prior, rector of Leda college, and several other distinguished dignitaries. After this every archbishop and bishop in the United States will have a personal representative before the tribunals in Rome. Cardinal Gibbons and Archbishop Farley have already selected a representative in the person of Sig. E. Santi.
NEW LIBRARY AT DEPAUW. Greencastle, Ind., Oct. 30. The magnificent new library building at De Pauw university was dedicated today with interesting exercises. Among the guests of the occasion were a number of the Methodist bishops who have been holding their annual meeting In Indianapolis.

Scenes From "Panhandle Pete," Which Appears at the Towle Opera House Saturday Matinee and Evening.
AX ELABORATE PRODICTIOX. "Panhandle Pete" is a superior and an elaborate production in which novelty and newness are promised when it comes to the Towle Opera House, Saturday matinee and night, Oct. 31. The situations and complications of the tramp "Panhandle Pete" and the musical -numbers are consistantly intermingled with the dialogue. The presenting cast Is headed by Walter Wilson, a comedian, who needs no intro
duction to the theater-going public of this city. He has been surrounded by a competent cast of fifteen principals and a male and female chorus of twenty, all of which have been selected because of their ability to sing and dance. A trig evening of great fun and amusement can be expected at this house.
IF YOU ARE BCSY, TRY TO FORGET A LOT OF THINGS AND REMEMBER THE WANT ADS. '
ROOSEVELT PROCLAIMS TAFT AS HIS ONLY CHOICE. The true friend of reform, the true foe of abases, Is the man trho steadily perseveres in righting wrong, In warring; against abases, but whose character and training are such that he never promises what lie cannot perforin, that he always is a little more than makes good what he does promise, and that while steadily advancing, he never permits himself to be led Into foolish .excesses which would damage the very cause he champions. In Mr. Taft we have a man who combines all of thc.e ualities to a degree which no other man in our public life since the civil war has surpassed. There is no fight for decency and fair dealing which I have waged in which I have not had his heartiest and most effective sympathy and support, and the policies for which I stand are his policies as much as mine. If there is cue body of men more than another whose support I feel I have a right to challenge on behalf of wageworkers of the country. A stancher friend, n fairer and truer representative, they cannot find within the borders of the Inited States. He will do everything in his- power for them except to do that which Is wrongs he will do wrong for no nan, and the refore can be trusted by all men.

What The Republican Party Has Done
FAIRBANKS DELIVERS SPEECH Mishawaka. Ind., Oct. 2S. - Vice President Charles W. Fairbanks, speaking to a large crowd here tonight, declared that while It was important to elct William H. Taft and Mr. Sherman, it was of equal importance that the state ticket should not be lost sight of. He declared the ticket "entitled to the support of every one who believes in the efficacy of the republican party in public administration. Our candidate for governor, the Hon. James E. Watson, is entitled to the enthusiastic support of every republican, not alone because of his loyalty to-the principles of the republican party and of his honorable public service, but because of the things for which he stands."
WILL SPEAK TONIGHT Crawfordsville John' I Griffiths of Indianapolis will deliver a republican address this evening at the Y. M. C. A. armory. Tomorrow night John C. Dancy, colored, of Washington, D. C, will speak, and Congressman Charles B. Landi3 will close the speech making in this county with an address Friday evening. His oponent, Martin A. Morrison of Frankfort, spoke at Browns Valley Monday night and ' at Ladoga last night. : '
Would you rather vote for a party that has done things, or a party which simply cavils at things done? Without harking back to remote times, the republican party during the administration of McKinley and Roosevelt has accomplished these constructive works: Extended National Power and Commercial Prestige. The republican party gave freedom to Cuba, and is aiding her in tha effort to establish responsible self-government. The republican party has added to the area of influence of the United States: e. Porto Rico, with an area of 3,435 square miles and a popularation of 1,000,000; Guam, with an area of 200 square miles and 11,000 inhabitants; the Hawaiian islands, with an area of 6,449 square miles and a population of 154,000; the Philippine islands, with an area of 127,853 squaro miles and a popularation of 7,500,000. The republican party has knit together the interests of this country and the Latin-American republics in a manner to command their conn dence and increase our trade. The republican party has maintained the open door for American commence in the Orient. The republican party, through President Roosevelt, put an end to the war between Russia and Japan, and commanded the affectionate recognition of both countries. The republican party restored confidence in Santo Domingo and made an adjustment of her obligation, which does justice between her creditors and the people of the island. Services for Sound Finance. The republican party established the gold standard by the law of March 141900, thereby placing this country in the rank of other advanced commercial nations. The republican party passed the currency measure of May 30, 190S, designed to prevent currency suspension in case of a crisis. The republican party has appointed a monetary . commission to consider further reforms in the currency system which may be required by our great commercial expansion. - . . , The republican party aided Mexico to establish the gold . standard,
thereby creating new and safe openings for American capital. The republican party has extended to the surviving veterans of the Civil and Spanish wars, and their widows., the benefits of a service pension. It has in the meantime reduced payments of interest on the public debt in almost the same proportion as the increase of payments to the veterans. The following figures show the decrease of interest, on the debt and the increased disbursments for pensions at intervals, of ten years: Year. Interest on Debt. Penions. . 1S67 .......$143,000,000 $ 20,000.000 1877 07.000,000 27,000,000 ' . . 1877 47,000,000 75,000,000 1897 37,000,000 141,000,000 " 1907 24,000,000 139,000,000 "f Thus, what has taken from the bondholder by reducing and refunding th-? debt has gone to the veterans who fought the battles of the Civil and Spanish wars. ' Measures for the Benefit of Labor. The republican party has provided' for the arbitration of labor disputes between railroads and their, employes, under the direction of the interstate commissipn and the commissioner of labor. ' The republican party has regulated the hours of railway employes in a way to entitle them to adequate and necessary rest after prolonged labor.

The republican party has restricted the emigration of the criminal and defective classes, thereby reserving this country for the honest laborerMeasures for the Protection of the Public. The republican party has safeguarded the public health and saved the lives of thousands of infants and adults by establishing proyer standards under the pifre food law. The republican party has initiated the Roosevelt measures for protection of the forests and the water sources. The republican party has put an end to timber-thieving on the public lands. The republican party has abolished railway rebates, and thereby established equality of treatment and opportunity for shippers, communities and consumers. - The republican party has sought to insure the purity of electrons and correct expression of the people's . will . by prohibiting corporations from contributing to national elections.
