DIED POOR MAN
Born Poor, Lived Poor and Wished
to Die Poor—Asks Pension
for His Sisters.
ROME, Aug. 22.—The will of Pope
Plus X., who died on. Thursday, was
opened today and the Pope in his
will asks the Holy See to provide a
pension of $12.00 a month for his
sisters, as he was unable to leave
them anything. In his will the Pope
says:
“I was born poor, have lived poor
and It is my wish to die poor. I
would like to have my sisters last
days free from want and ask the
Holy See to provide for them $12.00
a month."

cure mediation between the countries
now at war.

NEBRASKA WOMEN
ROPE FOR VICTORY
Campaign of "Sweet Reasonableness"
Is Being Waged—Bryan May
Make Some Speeches.
LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. 21.—Waging
what is admitted to be a vigorous
and sensible campaign, disclaiming
connection with any form of militan
cy, and going ahead on a platform
of “sweet reasonableness,” Nebraska
women suffrage leaders today were
hopeful of winning the ballot at the
contest in the fall. -Not until recent
ly has there developed any opposi
tion to the women’s campaign. Some
opposition has begun to be noticed,
but so far it has not developed any
great strength.
William Jennings Bryan’s- recent
unqualified endorsement of the wo
man suffrage cause has brought great
satisfaction to Nebraska women. The
mere announcement of his advocacy
and support of equality politically for
women is regarded by the suffrage
leaders as a great boom for the cause.
Undoubtedly it has been a great
boom. Bryan’s following throughout
Nebraska is large, and it is admit
ted that hi.; joining the suffrage ranks
will, bring to the cause next fail
many thousands of votes. Some even
declare that the Bryan announcement
will mean at least 10,000 votes for
equal suffrage. Others predict less.
Whether or not Secretary Bryan
will campaign for the suffrage cause
Is not known. It is considered not
unlikely that he will. Strong lufu
ence is being brought to bear on
Bryan in Washington to cover the
state in a whirlwind speech making
tour in the interests of tne cause.
It is believed he will consent to make
at least a few in some of the admit
Leaiy close territory.
The fear that woman suffrage will
bring with It prohibition in the course
of time, is one of the best arguments
that the anti-suffragists have covertly
used to keep their own sex from equal
rights with men at the polls. How
ever, this factor is working two ways.
Undoubtedly many whose bitterness
against prohibition has led them to
confuse the woman suffrage anl pro
hibition causes, will vote against the
amendment. Undoubtedly others, fa
voring prohibition, and believing pro
hibition will follow votes for women,
have laid aside strong prejudices
against giving women the ballot and
will vote for the amendment.
Those working for the vote have
expressed utmost confidence in vic
tory this fall. All are imbued with
the belief, and thousands who op
pose giving women the vote admit
that it must come ultimately, that
fortune will favor them this fall. Dr.
Anna Howard Shaw will aid in the
campaign. She will have the help
of several other eastern leaders.
To win their battle the suffragists
must have eighty-eight thousand five
hundred votes. This number is
thirty-five per cent, of the total vote
of the sta*e, the percentage required
by state law for the passage of a
constitutional amendment.
