CATHOLIC HISTORICAL SOCIETY
Attorney John Gunster OH the
Church and Civil Law.

Attorney John Gunster read very
able paper last night before the Catho-
lie Historical society on THE Church
and Civil Law" He sought to prove
that the fostering influence of the
church has had much to do with the
shaping of the basic principles of mod
ern civil law.
He ridiculed the idea that the Catho-
lie church is opposed To d republican
form OF government. The oldest re-
public in the world, San Marino, is a
Catholic republic, he said, and of the
twenty-nine republics existing today.
tWenty-one are Catholic. The first
stand for religious and civil freedom
made in this country, he contended,
was made by the Catholic Calyerts in
Maryland.

About the johnson Bill.

Mr.. Roberts, of Minneapolis. in an out
burst of what might be considered right
eous Indignation yesterday referred 70
the Johnson road and bridge fund bill
in this wise:
Its a grant steal, slop-over steal
an unconstitutional steaI''
AS the author of this bill, Representa-
tive l.. H. Johnson, of Minneapolis. is in
the bridge building business, the house
was not so dense but that it grasped the
significance of Mr.. Roberts denunciatio1
Of the bill as STEAL but there was
some little doubt as to just what was
meant by "slop-over'' steal Likewise
the house was startled to think tnat there
could be such thing as a ''constitu-
tional' steal, which was implied by the
charge Of an unconstitutional steal.'
All session Mr. Johnson has endeavored
to get such a bill through the house; 1t
appeared tnat the fates were against him
until yesterday. His bill, which was in
troduced by the consent Of the governor
1T provides for the distribution of the re-
naming $4,000 in the internal improve
ment fund for the construction of bridges
