One ot the Most Elaborate Ceremonies Hostility of Public is Shown by Assault on That Etar Took Place In the Yatican Rome, May 28. The red hat, symbolic of the highest office in the Catholic churcj, with the exception of that of the pope, was this morning conferred on 14 cardinals. The ceremony took place at a public consistory of the Sac cred College, held at the Vatican, and the new princes of the church, consisted of the 13 prelates who were created cardinals last Mou day. The ceremony this morn ing was the most elaborate which has been held at the Vatican since the November consistory of 1911, when amongst th 18 cardinals created at that time, there were three Americans. The presence of all three of the latter, namely Cardinals Farley, Falconio and O'Con nel as well as Uardindl Grib bons of Baltimore, contribut ed much toward today's con sistory notable, as the pres ence of Amerfcau cardinals at Rome has at all times -i roused an interest and eu-thu siam which that of other cardinals fails to engender. The attendence today was alsov unusual, this being the season ot the year; just fol lowing Easter, when Rome is filled with pilgrins and tour ists from all parts of the world. The limited number of tickets allotted to the pub lic was exhausted severals weeks ago and thousands of requests had to be refused. The greater portion of the morning's ceremony consisted .in the figurative bestowel on the new cardinals of the red hat. As the name of each was called he advanced to wards the papal throne drop Ding his head three times be fore finally reaching the feet cf Pope Pius. The latter for a brief in stant then placed on the headof each a huge red hat the same one being used for each cardinal, and recited the ritual prescribed for the occa sion. Following the removal of the hat his, Holiness placed cu the fiager of each cardinal a maenificent eold ring, set with the special iewels be longing to the particular or der of cardinals to which each had been created and closed with the apostolic ben- ediction. Later in the day, special emmissaries from the Vatican driving in the State carnage of the pope, visited the hotel of each cardinals and deliv ered personally the red hat that becomes a part of the permanent regalia of each new cardinal prince of the church. This hat is retained until death of the cardinal when it is then suspended for all time to come in the church of which he had been pro tector. Henry Wood (Rome correspondent of the United Press.

Suffragette for the first time today invaded Catholic Churches and attempted to harangue congregations. Wor ship was disturbed in both West miuister Cathedral aud the Church of the Orate ry, Binghamp ten. After Bernard Vaughan had just taken his place in the pulpit m Westminister Cathedral at the service, a woman rusoed up tne steps into another pulpit and, waving her arms toward the altar, shrieked : . "In the presence of the blessed sacrament I protess against the foroibhe feeding of women." The congregation rose and mur murs of protest ran through the edifice. One wonan tried to per suade the the suffragette to de scend from the pulpit, but she re mained there, waving her arms - m .a . - i a -j a veiling lnoonerentiy until forcibly pulled down the steps od turned over to the police.

The; refused to give their names. The growing hostility of the public toward mititant suffra gettes was shown by assaults today on several open-air meetings. Speakers were mobbed, stands wre torn down and-the women were saved by the police from duckings or beatings. A orowd at Hempstead Heath knocked over the platform from which a party of militants were to speak and scattered the suf fragettes in all directions. They tried to drag two of the women to a pond for a ducking, but the police rescued them. Attention Farmers.

Says the Kansas City Star, in its report cf the proceed ings: "It was made plain when the debate on the overture was start ed that the objection of the Pres byterians to Catholicism is not against any spiritual doctrine or action direotly connected with it, but with the alleged political ac tivity of the Catholic churoh. Assertions that the conditions with respect to Catholio interfer ence in affairs of state are 'alarm ing,' and that the Catholic ohuroh noa gone so iar as to interfere in national elections and that it was in control of the Associated Press, were made.

THE GREATEST THING IN THE WOBLD The greatest thing in the world is LIFE . Human life is the highest form of life with whioh we oome in daily contact beoause it includes all the faculties inher ent in other-life and adds thoie of the developed mind, thinking, feeling and willing. Life is the divine element in human exist ence. To merely exist is no honor to man, for in so doing he re man s on a parity with the rook and clod; bnt when he lives in the full meaning of the term, his right to dominion over the earth be oomes apparent. And what ii lift? It seems to be a quality so omnipresent as to be wholly wanting in practically nothing. But it is not the lower forms of life that we have to deal with jast now, we can leave those finer points to the biologists. What is it in mankind that con stitutes living in distinction from existing? Here we oome to a practical problem that bears on everyday affairs. Do you live cr do yo merely exist? To exist is merely to be ; bnt to live is some thing more. Life is a condition of human beings which normally extends over some three-score years or more, beginning with an innocent weakling, developing in to an adult, somewhat damaged and somewhat rebtored in the pro cess, ana enaing, . so tar as tne earth state is concerned, in col lapse of the body and its activities. Somewhere in that period the question ocours to the living: where did I come from? Whith er going? And every individual frames up some kind of an answer to those questions. Now mark this peculiar fact, that LIFE to each man is exaotly what he de clares it to be in his answer to tnose questions, l can answer only for my own life, for it is dif ferent from yours and from every body else's. - You oan answer on- ly for your life-Jor i is different from mine and every body else's Insofar as twopr more of us agfja in our answerjtoc, the great ques tiona we canragree in a united statement in rjgard to tbe mean ing of this gr&VibififfHfe Though we all possess a park ot .this great thing, . yet your part and my part tjp differ yon and I grow into somethings as different and distinct as the oak tree and the blade of : grass. Eaoh life brings out whit is in-it, adding seen of the things thaiotne to it as it is able to absorb and assimi late. Whence tbe tremendous diversity of beings in human life, comparable in a wsy to the diver sity in vegetable life., E&oh of 01 has an inheritance of life, aooordiqg to tbe ..nature and condition of hit pafentf, To that he adds aooording to the richness of thsf life within and the quality of materials from without. Every soul is its own architect, alike free to accept or rejeot plans offered, building high if endowed with energy, building strong if endowed with skill, and building enduringly it possessed of the wis dom to follow the laws of being. , Suoh being the ease, the desir able condition for the growth and enlargement of life is snob a con dition as will be helpful and en couraging, and not calculated to interiere wisn tne unioiamg ot tne ivery enort was life whioh is. Ia other words. I him. Deteotives oan't successfully live according to your plans unless they apply to my needs ; and no one is in posi tion to judge in regard to that as wisely as myself. I may make mistakes by following my own judgment, but they are my mis takes only when I evolve or adopt them with my own free will. And I can correct my own mistakes, whioh originate in my own plans better than I can mistakes that originate in the specifications of others. These lives of ours unfold and reach normal high development better under conditions of free dom than of restraint. The med dler spoils life; as readily as an extra cook spoils the pudding. It is the human error of trying to fit all these radically different lives into a uniform produot that spoils the whole process by bewildering indi vid aals a -oofif usion. )J. do well if J make something out of myself, and I am sure to spoil the material if I try -with any success to make you into something like myself. A life builders we are competent only to work with our selves. And eaoh of us has plenty to keep him busy without striving to limit the freedon of others or insisting on their giving up their private judgment for my edicts and judgments. To be sure the one may aooect and work out the ideas of another if be does it in freedom and understanding; but to impose creeds and degmas on people who feel no need of them. do not understand tnem, and oan not use them, is to stop life and start death. Freedom of thought is the very oondilion of growth, .of living. To suppress one's own judgment at the behest or under the com pulsion of another is suicide. To submit to the diotation of another is self destruction and mutilation of the life that must grow in its own way or not at all. There is but one sohool of thought yet active in the world that insists on whittling down all living men to fit his own peculiar purpose. It comes to us with a mystical story of plans and speci noations entrusted to it from on high; plans by which eaoh of th3se millions of divers lives - are to be fitted uniformly into one thing. All these square human pegs muss go into round noies no matter how much hammering and trimming it takes. And some of us are so dead as to oonsent to it, some or us navinv inherited so for a momentary consideration. A local option campaign was to take plaoe in Georgetown town ship, in whioh Westville is looat ed, April 7th. Rev. Louis R. Patmont was smployed by the dry oommittee to work in tbe interest of local option. His services were secured because of his em inent ability . He is able to speak a number of languages, as well as having a good command of En glish. His prase: ce in the town of Westville was soon felt in the in terest of temperance and righte ousness. The people among whom he worked were of Catholic persuasion, and while his efforts were confined to the liquor cause, the difference of religion was of no small consideration. He was repeatsdly threatened by a bonoh of thug-uglies that followed him during his work and the oommit tee volunteered to employ a man to protect him, but Mr. Patmont did not think it was necessary . However, du'ing the second week of his work, he wsa oonvinoed that they intended to assault him and he asked that a man be en gaged to aooompany him in hit work. This arrangement was mage maron oist ana tne man was to begin his work April 1st. In the evenine of March 8lst. Mr. Patmont disappered as if th earth had swallowed him ur. made to fi.no were employed, and the local oommittee and hit. church friends prosecuted the search, bnt to no avail. It was evident that "Rum and Rome" had a hand in his disappearance. A saloon-keeper purchased 500 copies of Thb Mxnack and circu lated them among the foreigners and had men detailed to report that Patmont was circulating Thk Menace and was one of the cor respondents of that paper. This was done to prejudice the Catholics againet bim. A report appeared in one of the Westville papers that Patmont was an ex- priest of the Catholic church, whioh report was of oourse false, but the purpose of it was to stir up the Catholics; the paper re fused to make the correction. Two saloon-keepers told Patmont that he must leave the town or he would see what .would happen. On one oooasion he was assaulted and again four men tried to force him into an automobile. From the time he disappeared it was nearly two months before he was found, most of his friends and his relatives supposed him to be dead and had given up the search. On Saturday afternoon, may zsra, aoout o.oiooK, a farmer by the name of Reioh and a oouple of his farm hana heard moans coming from an old aban doned farm house about two and one-half miles from Columbia, 111 , a town of l.SOOJpeop'e, located 20 miles from St. Louis . They proceeded to the house from whence came the groans and cries, and there found a man, supposed at first to be a colored man, be oause the manner in whioh his hands were tied made them blaok and the tight wire and rope around his neck made his faoe blaok. He was tied buok fashion witn a sties two mcnes square put under his knees and over his him, took him from Westville on a flat hand car several miles from town, then put him into an auto mobile and drove at great rapidi ty for most of that night, and then confined him in a dark damp cellar where he was kept for fifty two days and nights on a limited mpply ot rations and bad water. T&ey stripped him of all of his clothes exoept his undershirt, pants and sooks. He slept dur ing this time on the damp floor, out xept up a constant exercise and tried to keep up cheerful spirits and held on to his faith in God and hope of ultimate freedom. On the night of May 22 he was taken out of the cellar on a lad der, overpowered, bound, gagged and chuoked down into an auto mobile and driven daring the night a snort distance from this abandoned farm house, tbenoe was taken from the auto and drag ged over st my fields, through a woods, and tied in the garret of this dilipated old house, left there prtsumally in an unconscious state, and it is the judgment of Patmont, his friends and the de tectives that it was their intent ion to burn down the house the next night. There was much amber stored in the lower pait FIVE RULES FOR BORROWING MONEY, Soma Vary Sana tad Valuable Graatli Needed Just Now, Adiica Washington, D. 0., June 9 Five rules designed j to convince farmers that there is no magio about credit are set down in Farm ers' Bulletin 593 "How to Use Farm Credit," whioh the United States Department of Agriculture has just published. Unless tha farmer who ii thinking of borrow ing money fully understands these rules and is willing to be guided by them, the Government's advice to him is : DON'T. As it is, there are probably almost as many farmers in this country who are suffering, from too muoh as too little credit. Of these rules the three most important are : 1. Make sure that the purpose for whioh the borrowed money is to be used will produce a return greater than needed to nav the debt. 2. The length of time the debt is to run shonld have a olose rela tion to the productive life of the improvement for which the money is borrowed. 8.

Be tween borrowing money to spend on oue's self and borrowing money to nuy equipment of some sort with which to make more monev there is all the difference between folly and foresight, extravagance and thrift. If the monev is bor rowed for a wise purpose it will produce enough to pay baok prin cipal and interest and leave a fair margin of profit for the borrower into the bargain. If it is bor rowed for a foolish purpose it will produqe nothing and consequent ly there will be nothing with whioh to repay the loan . From this point of view it matters com paratively little whether the in terest be high or low. It is the repayment of the prinoipal that is the chief difficulty. Rules 2 and S deal with the most satisfactory ways of repay ment, underneath them both is the same prinoinle: Tbe loan to be burned as a victim of the con spiracy of rum and Rome. He at nrst was in a most piti ful condition, but being in the prime of life and with a robust constitution, he made rapid re oovery. His experience will make him a greater man than ever and will forever be a reproach to Rome and a brand upon the rum traffic I assured him that it would all fill out for the fur therance of the gospel of Chritt and for the extension of the oause of temperanoe and righteousness and the ultimate downfall of Rome.

The loan, therefore, should be entirely repaid before tbe ten years are up or the farmer will loose money on the transac tion, paying out interest for no benefit in return. On the other hand, if too early a date is set for repayment, the maohine will not have have had sufficient oppor tunity to make the requisite money and the borrower may have difficulty in raising it elsewhere. Rule 8 provides for some form of amortization, the system by whioh tbe prinoipal is repaid in install ments so that tbe amount of the loan is continually diminishing and in consequence the interest oharges also. Suoh a system is quite feasible when the loan is really productive, when it returns to the borrower a definite revenue eaoh year. Tables showing the payments required to pay off prinoipal and interest in varying periods of tim are . appended to the bulletin and are reoomended to the serious consideration of everyone who contemplates bor rowing money. The bulletin also advises the farmer to secure the lowest possible lntesest. At first signt tms seems too obvious to be worth mentioning. Of course the interest should be as small as possible. Eveybody knows that. exoept the lender. But if the other rules are observed, if tbe borrower manages his financial affairs soundly, he will be surpris ed to find how muoh easier it is to obtain favorable terms. The right kind of lender does not want to foreclose mortgages ; he wants his money bask with a fair profit, like any other merohant. For money that is borrowed wisely, for money that is sure to be re paid, he oharges low interest. This in fact is why the govern ment has published these rules for borrowers.
