Ralston Steel f a r company, of
Ohio, to furnish D.000.000 feet of

Rome, March 6 .- Monsignor
Benigni, under secretary of state
in the Vatican administration dur
ing part of the pontificate of
Pope Pius X, has written an ar
ticle for the Nuova Antologia Re
view on the question of the par
ticipation of the holy see in the
.peace conference which is expec
t ted to be held at the conclusion
of the war.
Replying to one of the objec
tions raised by the Italian press
against the intervention of papal
delegates namely that the heads
of all other churches would claim
a similar right of representation,
Monsignor Benigni says that all
heads of religions should, and a
great majority of them will, in
evitably be represented at the
prospective conference, as. not
the archbishop of Canterbury,
but the king of England, is the
head of the established church of
that country, the emperor of
Russia is head of the Orthodox
Greek church of Russia, the king
of Prussia is head of the Evan
gelical church of Prussia and the
sultan of Turkey and the emperor
of .Japan are heads of the domi
nant religions of their empires.

The legislature wa* called in ex
tra session, ostensibly, to enact
election laws that would cripple
the Republican party and insure
Democratic success at the com
ing election. The Republican
party is accused of controlling all
the money and it is to be presum
ed that this remarkable usury
law is a thrust in the dark at the
Republican party.
The law in question provides,
in addition to its being unlawful
to charge more than the legal
rate, that the officers of the bank
shall furnish to the State Bank
Commissioner a sworn statement
quarterly showing interest charg
ed, and in case of any violations
of the said laws, double the
amount of interest charged shall
be forfeited.
It is claimed that fhe enforce
ment of such a law will put a
great many banks out of com
mission, tacitly acknowledging
that they have been running in
direct violation pf the existing
laws. The farmers and small
borrowers have always been the
victims of usury. Wanting to
borrow $10 or $20 they are re
quired to mortgage property
worth ten times that amount and
pay $1 for the use of it for 30
days. If at the expiration of that
time and the banker is disposed
they may pay another dollar and
get the day of reckoning put off
another 30 days. The howls and
groans the bankers are making
now is sweet music in the ears of
the farmers who are willing to
let them howl.
