knew no limitations, no frontiers; he was
the pontiff of humanity.
One of the most meaningful of the acts
of Leo was his announcement to the
Catholics Of France that it was their
moral duty to adhere to the republic; and
the doctrinal teaching of guarding mod
ern ideas and forms of government in
volved in that announcement. It was,
too, a, masterful stroke Of diplomacy. All
the Catholics of France did not follow
Leo, their political traditions held the
field; to-day they are suffering from their
shortsighted conservatism and their dis
obedience.
A Majestic Figure.
What majestic figure was that Of
Leo! There he stood for twenty six long
years, an old man, stripped Of external
power-naught but a personality and a
voice. But kings and emperors did him
homage; his words were caught up by the
peoples of all countries; his hand reached
out to the high and the low, the cultured
scholar and the untutored savage; to peo-
pies civilized, and tribes barbarian; and
by all 1t was grasped with loving tender
ness. No other man reigned at the dawn
of the twentieth century as Leo reigned
truly the sovereign of sovereigns. 1t
was the supreme triumph Of moral power
the triumph of truth and Justice, the
triumph Of a soul replenished with truth

[RELAND's TRIBUTE
Archbishop of st. Paul Declares Leo
to Have Been One of the
Greatest Of Popes.
Splendid Eulogy Is Pronounced by
the Head Of the Catholic Church
in the Northwest.

st. Paul, Mimi, July 2O.-Upon the re-
ceipt of the news Of the death of Pope
Leo, Archbishop Ireland paid the follow
ing tribute to the dead prelate:
In Leo a truly great and good man
passes from earth. The extraordinary,
the unparalleled trust with which the
world this last fortnight kept vigil around
the vatican where the old man battled
dramatically with grim death, is mag
nificent tribute In the death Of Leo hui
mainly realizes that an orb of light, such
as is seldom seen to dominate the high
skies of it's moral and intellectual firma-
ment, has fallen making a mighty void
which soon again may not be filled.
Great and good Leo truly was, fash
Toned so by nature and by grace divine.
What a mind! Loftiest it was in vision,
reaching out to vastest horizons, soaring
upward to highest regions of thought
and truth. To have sat at his knee and
heard him tell Of the sights he saw, of the
dreams he dreamed, of purposings, of
plannings begotten of his sights and
dreams, was to be made to forget for a
moment earth's common limitations and
to behold human life and destiny as
prophets behold it. And how quick in &C
ton the mind of Leo was, how piercing
in glance Hours would have been spent
with others In setting a problem before
them and detail would have to follow de-
tail, before they could grasp it's beauty
A few minutes with Leo, few brief ex-
plantations, In answer to rapid question
ings from himself, the problem was un-
derstood and the solution given.
How rich and varied the store OF
knowledge! Rapidly as he conversed, he
would travel from literature to science anG
art, from theology to diplomacy-every
where the manifest master, everywhere
the cultured scholar. And, then, he was
ambitious to dominate things.
His Early Aim.

Leo's Great Opportunities.
A great man requires besides his native
greatness, greatness in opportunities. All
this was given in super-abundance to Leo.
There is no other post of honor and duty
so elevated, so sublime as the Roman
pontificate, the treasury Of centuries Of
Inspiration the worlds chair of moral
authority, ruling directly two hundred and
fifty millions of every tribe and every ma
ton, ruling indirectly by the silent pres

he reigned as only two Of his predecessors

posterity to say. as he closed the last
pages of his record, that in him the Cath

duty.
His Best Achievements.
Volumes will be written to narrate
things done by Leo. In hurried eulogy
there is room only to note the general
