The Pope on America.

The September Review OF Reviews has
a most interesting and authoritative
sketch of Pope Piux X by the great Eng
lish journalist, w. T. Stead. The article
closes with an interview he had with
Cardinal Gibbons and the American pill
grims who waited on him soon after his
election. Mr.. Stead says:
"The Pope is said to have declared
that he shared the belief of the visitors
in the great destiny of their nation. He
added this remarkable expression of his
own belief, that the light which came
from the United States would rejuvenate
Europe. 1t is singular that the first
utterance of the new Pontiff should have
been so emphatic a declaration of his
belief in the AUGMENTATION of the world.
1t would seem that Pope Plus x will be
at least as American in his sympathies as
his predecessor"

pom he captured confederate officer. re-

Vice-Governor VS.. Governor.

Commenting on Judge Ide's chance to
become candidate for governor of Yer
mont the Montpelier Journal INDUCES in
some sensible humor as follows:
The very thought is humorous now
and indeed it has been all the time when
it is considered that had Judge Idle &C.
coded to the wishes of some OF his friends
he would have given up position full of
usefulness, opportunity and honor for
the chance OF winning another that is
about as devoid of these three elements
as an office well could be. Judge Ide is
to be vice-governor of the Philippines
and he doubtless knew it when he came
to Vermont earlier in the year. But
whether he did or not, it raises a smile
to think OF holding out to member of
the Philippine commission the governor
ship OF Vermont and asking him to lay
down the one for the purpose of taking
up the other.
As commissioner Judge Ide has had
and will have part in building a coun-
try, whether that country be eventually
a kingdom, empire, or part of a great
republic, while as governor he would
have an inaugural reception and ball,
possibly one veto, and the privilege oil
signing two Thanksgiving and two
Arbor day pfocamations. Isn't such a
proposition humorous, and If not what
is humor? No, the Journal is not trying
to belittle the office of governor, it il
simply commenting on what the peopl
OF Vermont have done, or perhaps wha
they have left undone in making an,
keeping this office almost purely OF

NEW IN SWEDEN.
LynCh's Discovery Reaches That
Country Through the Ger
man Papers.

The following is reproduction
OF an article which appeared in
Norrtelje Tidning, a prominent
journal of Sweden, in an issue of
recent date. 1t is an extraordinary
comment on the discovery of Prof.
W 81. Lynch. in regard to the in
PRODUCTION of newspapers as a
branch Of study in school. A cor
rect translation follows:
"From America comes new
discovery, that will arouse dis
cussion among many. A peda-
gogue, Prof. w. H. Lynch, has
said before meeting of school
teachers that he has made dis
covery of the newspapers as a
lecturer; that the newspaper gives
the school children a clear under.
standing Of the modern and actual
IN l:fe; and, therefore, he has with
success introduced the newspaper
as lecturer in his school.
The German newspaper that
published this article says that this
discovery" from the New World
cannot be passed by with mere
shrug of the shoulders. The great
est objection to this method, that
man can possibly have, is that
all children cannot easily get an
American paper. And man makes
clear for himself that honest news
papers of our present day, more
or less work an influence of teach
ing on all culture methods, and
that a great deal of the spiritual
work that afterwards come in
literature, first goes through the
newspaper.
Lastly, to have the right knowl.
edge how to use the newspaper as
an educator, the child must be
made to understand the article
which he or she has read. 1t does
no harm to let the children in time
teach themselves how to read the
present day newspaper"
