Youneer,s Army RECORD.

To the Editor of the Globe: Your
Sundays pen prints column and a
half article about the Younger brothers,
in which the writer states that the father
Of these cut threats was a Gnedl descend
ant of Light Horse Harry Lee, of Revo-
1utionary fame, but doesn't trace his
hero. 1t would also appear from the
article that they claim that Cole Young
ers father was murdered by Union
soldiers in Missouri during the Civil war.
This assertion is not proved either in
the article and it is false. Cole Younger
never was Confederate soldier, but was
a horse thief guerrilla and murderer Of
Union soldiers who were unfortunate in
being captured by him and his guerrilla
comrades. and such Union soldiers were
invariably murdered when captured
These guerrillas would rob and murder
people whether of Confederate or Union
sympathies and would dress in the uni
forms OF the captured Union soldiers they
had killed. when they would rob and
murder and thus throw a stigma on the
soldiers Of the Union army serving in
Missouri
And it Is further stated in the article
that the Younger brothers were conduct
ed to Minnesota by a Minnesotan, that
the vast sums of money for which they
went to Mortified belonged to Jews and
that these Jews had no real funds in
the country.
This is lame excuse for their attempt
to rob the bank at Mortified and is g.
poor plea in extenuation of the murder
Of the poor Swede shot by these cut
threats or their companions on the

passed law by which the Youngers
can be paroled if the governor and board
Of pardons concur, and, If In the near
future, these distinguished guests of the
state in the prison at Saltwater, are
paroled, would it not be proper that the
legislature, before they adjourn, pass an
act appropriating money enough to erect
a monument upon the capitol grounds
concentrating the heroic deeds of Cole
Younger and his companions in the
Mortified raid?

THE popE,s TERRITORIAL POWER

This talk about restoring the temporal
power of the pope is apt to revive con-
siderable amount of dormant prejudice.
To the average American it recalls times
when the popes made and unmade kings
and held the destinies of empires in their
conditions would be quite impossible In
this modern age; and in the second place,
the conditions referred to- existed more
in the fertile inauguration of the writer's
of pseudo historical ''anti-popery"
novels, than in reality.
Still, the term temporal power Is
perhaps unfortunate in it's associations,
especially as it does not really express
what is desired. The city of Rome and
surrounding tract of country which the
pope claims, and of which his predeces-
sor was deprived by one of the most ar
rogant acts of injustice perpetrated In
modern times, is perhaps as large as
Ramsey county. That the possession os
such a limited territory would not be

place. however small, the neutrality of

ers, where he might reside and direct
the affairs of the church in absolute
safety from outside interference. If the
pope is the subject of any king, the nat
ural conclusion is, that that king VIII
use his influence over the pope to further
his own ends. Such attempts have been
made in the past and have been fruit
full sources of trouble in the church.
Moreover, in case of war between Italy
and some other power, conditions might
easily arise that would make 1t very diff
ficult to continue the necessary commu-
nication between the pope and the vart-
Gus branches of the church.
For these reasons, the place where the
pope resides should be absolutely neutral.
Theoretically, this place of residences
might be anywhere, as he would still
continue to be bishop of Rome practical

claim to the territory that has belonged

Patriotism and agriculture should be
taught side by side to farmers said Gov.
Van SAINT in an address before the Farm
ers' institute at Saltwater yesterday. We
had always thought that they already
possessed both. The governor also made
some remarks on the Philippines, saying.
Every man, regardless of whether his
skin is white or brown, should be free
man." Much depends on what the gov
ernor understands by free man. If
he means that all those who live under
the flag are entitled to the rights ana
privileges which it is supposed to rep
resent, then, OF course, all Democrats
will heartily agree with him, but the
administration is likely to put him down
on the blacklist as traitor and deport
him at the first opportunity.
