tons from bishops and other chief &c
clesiastical authorities within the limits
of their Jurisdiction.
The universal ecclesiastical jurisdic-
lion of the pope includes the right to
send agents to represent his person and
authority before the churches. or even
before the temporal authorities.
This authority is vested in the pope
by Divine right. because he is the legiti-
mate successor of st. Peter-and as such
the chief bishop of the Catholic world
the visible and ministerial head of the
whole church-whose invisible and eter-
nal head is Jesus Christ
The origin of the temporal power of
the pope occurred in the sixth century.
under Gregory the Great.
National and religious feelings con-
tributed to it's growth in the first half
of the eighth century-and in the lat
ter half of that century the papacy en-
tered the list of European states by the
formal donations of Pepin and Charlie
imagine.
Under various forms and with vary
ing boundaries the papal states existed
through the middle ages as a legitimate
growth, and their pacific possession
ously disputed in the propagation of
Christian faith and culture.
The violent usurpation of Napoleon I
was undone by the congress of Vienna
in 1915
In 1860 the Piedmontese government
encroached on the states of the church.
and in 1870 they were Incorporated into
the kingdom of Italy.
Nevertheless, no pope has ever rec
ognized that fact nor accepted the
guarantees by which the Italian king
dom undertook to regulate its internal
relations with the papacy.
The ordinary administration of the
papal authority is carried on through
the body of officials and agents whom
the pope employs in his government.
When the pope passes away his sue
cessor must be Immediately chosen.
The cardinals meet on the eleventh
day after the pope's decease in a series
of double cells, one for each cardinal.
his secretary and chamberlain, and on
the twelfth day the election begins.
The cardinals are not bound to elect
one of their number-only heretics and
simoniacal persons are excluded-and
the closing act of the election takes
place in a chapel especially reserved
for that purpose.
When the pope-elect accepts the re-
suit of the conclave. he rejects his bap-
tismal name as a rule and chooses an
other.
If he is not a bishop he is always
consecrated by the cardinal-bishop of
Ostia.
The reception of the pallium. the SOL
emn coronation and the possession
of the Lateran church take place after
this-but the entire papal Jurisdiction
passes into his hands when he accepts
the election.

THE POPE AND HIS POWER.

The head of the Roman Catholic
Church of the World is called Pope
the name signifying Father, Bishop
Head of the Church.
For many centuries the name Pope"
was confined to the bishop of Rome, but
now it means the Head of the Church
Universal.
The supreme ecclesiastical primacy
was conceded by the Catholic church to
the Roman bishop or pope from remote
antiquity.
Beginning with Peter whose access
sion took place A. D. Al, and coming
down to Pope Leo XIII, whose accession
took place in 1879, there has been an I'M
broken chain extending over a period of
eighteen hundred and sixty-two years.
During that period-from Peter to Leo
kills. popes have reigned, averaging
p years to each reign.
Leo has reigned % years-but Pope
Plus TX reigned from 1916 TO 1S7S-a per-
iod of 81 years.
Pope Plus VII, however, assembled the
throne in 1S00-and there have been five
pOpes since. making six in all in 1903
years.
The pope holds sway and Jurisdiction
over the entire church body. Individual
~ and collectively.
He is the supreme teacher or doctor
and in this capacity is infauible when
speaking as such.
In other words. the pope in defining a
doctrine of faith to be held by the
whole church is supposed to be incapa-
BILE of error.
Moreover, the pope is the supreme
legislator in the church and can inter-
pref modify and dispense in all matters
Of ecclesiastical law.
The pope is the supreme judge of the
faithful-whether members of the hier-
archy or laymen. and can hear and de-
eide all major causes and appeals from
lower tribunals.
The pope is the supreme administra-
tor-and therefore has the power to
watch over the divine services. and to
appoint. remove or transfer bishops.
The pope is the supreme supervisor
and receives regularly reports and rela-

MIR. SPIELMAN SPELLS.
Thinks Mistakes Are Made Regard
ing Cattle and Dollars.

A. D. Spielman, postmaster at Sequin,
Kan, has taken his pen in hand and
drawn up long. black and emphatic pro-
test against an article which he found in
a St. Joe paper as Topeka dispatch. The
protest directed against the state
ment in that paper that the assessors re-
turns for the state show that there are al
most as many head of cattle in Kansas as
there are dollars in Kansas banks.
Il inclOse copy of the st. Joe Free
Press" SAYS Mr.. Spielman in his letter.
You will find there printed statement
which is hugely erroneous. regarding
Kansas finances. 1t is too bad to let such
a SANDER go unanswered"
Unfortunately for Mr.. Spielman, the
statement in the st. Joseph paper is cor
rect But Mr. Spielman should draw line
of emphasis under the words according to
the assessors returns"
OF course there are more than enough
dollars in Kansas to equal the number of
cattle. The bank commissioner reports $92,-
COO 900 in Kansas banks. But people are
such liars that they only admitted to the
assessors that they had about S3,500.OO0 in
cash. Cattle are not so easy to conceal,
so they probably told the truth when they
reported over 100000 cattle
Mr.. Spielman is right when he refers to
the article as a slander-provided SIAN
der can be the truth 1t certainly is a
dark yellow reflection on the Veracity of
the people of Kansas who have money.

General pebate refused.

London, July 15.-Premier Balfour in
the house of commons today refused to
give the house facilities for full gem
eral debate on Colonial Secretary
Chamberlains proposed fiscal changes
The matter was brought up by Sir
Michaels Hicks Beach and was sup
ported by Sir Henry Campbell Banner
man, the Liberal leader. Mr. Balfour
said he did not think any useful pur~
pose would be served by an abstract
discussion addressed to no particular
notion that the matter had already
been debated several times under sim
liar conditions. If Sir Henry raised a
debate by introducing a vote of cen>
sure of the government, he said, he
would grant the facilities desired.

lola Register: The Lawrence papers
have complained louder than any others
of the dereliction of the legislature in
refusing to make an appropriation for
the relief of the flood sufferers; and yet
the signed report of the committee
shows that of nearly $4,000 paid into
the Lawrence relief fund only $1,000 35
has been paid out up to June 80. If it

HACKETT'S LAST HOPE GONE.
Attorneys for Negro Policy Player
Abandon Motion in Arrest of
Judgment.

Attorneys for Negro Policy Player
Abandon Motion in Arrest of
Judgment.
The motion in arrest Of judgment in
the case of r. A. Hackett, the policy
player who was sentenced to serve six
months on the changing and pay a
fine of 500, which was assigned for a
hearing before Judge Barrow in the
Superior Court yesterday, was not
heard. The attorneys for the convict
ed man now realize that there is notn-
ing to sustain the point made by them,
and the motion has been abandoned.
The motion has not yet been dis
missed by Judge Barrow, but unless it
is taken up within the next day or two
it will be dismissed by the court.
Hackett. in the meantime is serving
his sentence on the county changing.
The point made by counsel in the
motion in arrest of judgment was that
the judgment of the court was void,
in that the court could not, in the eX-
ercise of his legal authority, sentence
Hackett for more than one term on
the chaingang for one offense. This
has reference to that part of the sem
tence which provided that after serv-
ing six months. if the fine of 500 is
not paid, that a second sentence of
six months must be served.
