WHAT A POPE HAS DONE.
Innocent III. Has Record That VIII Ga
Down to Many Generations.

I
Down to Many Generations.
Innocent III, whose tomb was I'm.
yelled in the Basilica OF St John
Lateran in 1891, was one of the most
remarkable OF the successors OF St
Peter A member of the house Of
Cont (the counts of Seani, he was
only 81, and still in the minor orders
when the assembled cardinals. on the
death OF Celestine Ill. in January
1898, pressed the papal dignity upon
him.
He was then known as Lothian
Cardinal OF SIS. Sergius and Bacchus
having been raised to place in the
Sacred college in his twenty-seveQtb
year. while still a sub-deacon. He
had employed his leisure in the com.
position OF treatises-one Of them on
contempt of the world; another OF
more significance as affecting his ca
reer, on the sacred mystery OF the
altar
In this work he had taken the high
est ground as TO the prominence Of
st, Peter over the other apostles.
He had now an opportunity Of putting
his principles into practice, and in
doing so he was at once bold and
wary. He made good beginning by
reforming his own household
trenching the luxurious OUTLAWS OF the
papal court
His next step was to make himself
supreme in the city of Rome by hav'
ing the citizens take oaths of al
legiance to him as urban project. He
then undertook to supplant the i'm
perial authority in other Italian cities
and to- transfer the suzerainty Of
Southern Italy from the emperor to
the pope. In bringing about the sep
aration OF Sicily from the empire he
availed himself of racital antipathies.
In the rivalry between Philip ii and
Ohio ~. he espoused the cause of the
latter and after Philips murder and
Otho's marriage to his niece he
crowned him emperor "by the grace
OF God and the Apostolic See" The
unlimited supremacy of the Papacy
over all the governments of Christen-
dom was his constant aim, and he was
ruthless in applying the pressure Of
his spiritual power.
He humbled the kings Of France,
England and Spain, encouraged the
military orders and the crusading
spirit, brought Eastern patriots and
prelates to his great fourth Lateran
council, which dealt with all the chief
questions of the time, and left the Ro-
man See at its eliminating point Of
influence when he passed away in the
ripeness OF his faculties in the fifty
fifth year of his age and the nineteenth
of his pontificate. The church may
well do honor to lnnocents memory,
says the Montreal Gazette.

GOOD ROADS.
Wise Investments for the Present and Flu
ture Generations.

Wise Investments for the Present and Flu
ture Generations.
Bad roads force people to live in
cities; good roads tend to take them
out into the country. This observa-
ton reveals its force perhaps more
strikingly when read IN view of the
facts OF railroad development, to
which the especial attention of the
American people has been given dur
ing the past forty years. The rail-
roads have centralized the population
in the cities and larger towns, and ar
ranged them along their lines of COM
munication. Now what is needed is
an equal development OF carriage
roads to broaden the areas OF popu-
lation and to relieve this congestion.
Railroads need better carriage roads
for feeders; farmers need them for ac-
cess to the railroads and to the cities;
manufacturers need them for access
to less populous areas and for lower
rents and for less cost of portage and
transportation; merchants need them
as an element in the cheapening of
their wares; the people need them for
the reduction Of the expense of salts
flying their wants and for the more eff
ficient distribution OF their activities.
All men work and plan, writes A.
A. Pope in the Forum, alter supplying
their own and the immediate needs OF
their families, to leave good inheri-
lance to their children. All good cit
liens take into their plans of public
expenditure the leaving of wise in
vestments to the next generation.
What wiser, surer and better inheri-
lance can we leave to our sons and
our successors than good roads-roads
that can be preserved and used at lit
tie expense and that endure both as
monuments and as investments during
the years and the centuries to come.

How Columbus Day Was Celebrated
by the jackson school.
A correspondent, writing from Elk
Grove, says:
EDS. RECoRD-UNIoN Columbus Day
was fittingly observed by the Jackson
School. The stars and stripes were raised
over the schoolhouse amid the cheers oi
pupils and parents. The schoolroom
was handsomely decorated with ever
greens and flowers, mingled with the
national colors. The pupils, large and
small, did so well that it was evident
their teacher, Miss Edith Liembach, had
drilled them carefully. The official pro-
gramme was carried out, and numerous
other selections given.
When the literary part Of the pro-
gramme was ended the pupils and audi
ence marched into the yard, where the
nag was holsted all present Joining in
giving three cheers for "Old Glory" and
pledging their life for its honor.
After singing 1.-The Red, White and
Blue" all re-entered the schoolroom and
partook of generous lunch, and after
social converse each went his way, salts
lied that Columbus had been honored
while dead, as he never expected.
CELEBRATION AT GAIT.
The Gait public school also had appro-
Pirate exercises on Friday, the pro-
gramme being as follows: Song by the

I ignorance and superstition; free from the
! dread of evils that can be cured; free from
/ the fear of devils that do not exist; free
/ from the base thought that God ever was
I or ever could be angry with his creatures;
free from the grinding tyranny of states
or institutions claiming divine authority

/ fetters of wrongly directed wills; free
from the sins and wrongs of misplaced
affections; free to worship God in the
light OF knowledge, as dictated by con-
science.
In closing, the speaker claimed that the
criterion OF truth had changed as the
centuries have passed. Before Christ was
Intuition of ancient sages; after Christ
the church settled everything by vote of
Its great councils. The Reformation was
an appeal to Scripture. Philosophy then
grew up, Needless of the warfare of rival
authorities, and built vast systems which
fell of their own weight. Science was Just
a babe IN the days OF Columbus and lived
a precarious existence. Here and there
/ an explorer began to look at things as
they were around him-Copernicus
Calico and Kepler among the stars; Co
lumDus and Magellan on the seas. The
! world as 1t Is began to attract attention.
Still the churches warred, and the phil
osophers thought. Two centuries thus
passed when the external world of reality
would not away any longer. Philosophy
at last began to accept the results of sci
ence, and new heaven and new earth
began TO take form from out the chaos of
the past, then came the phenomenal
progress that has marked every year
since to our own day.
Belief, then, in the integrity of mans
rational endowment, to which we add
the belief that the universe is Ineligible
to rational thought, and we have the two
great pillars which support the nine
teenth century temple of truth. Natural
Iaw-continuOus and Interchangeable veri-
1ication by observation and experiment
III all times and climes-come next in
order to buttress it round about, while
within, high upon the throne of author
lty, sits that goddess whose being is the
reflection OF the thought of perfection in
the mind of the Infinite.
Here, before this shrine, we bow in
reverence and worship, while dying away
IN the distance we family hear the dirge
OF the authorities of the past, and slowly
rises to full consciousness the belief that
we are already in a new world with a
new heaven over all. Again we hearken,
and voice says: Behold the tabernacle
of God is with men, and he will dwell
with them and they shall be his people,
and God himself shall be with them and
be their God.' Joy ineffable
And SO, out Of the past into the present:
Through the shadow of the globe
Wesweep into the younger day;
Better fifty years OF Europe
Than cycle OF Cathay.
Not IN vain the distance beckous;
Forward! Forward Let us range;
Let the great world spin forever
Down the ringing groves OF change.
