mote a universal hymn for all nations
It is encouraging to note that the
American hymn entitled Long Live the
Pope" has been translated into German.
Latin, French, Spanish, Portuguese,
Bohemian, Greek, Italian, Gaelic, Hun
garian, Polish, Slavonic, Croatian,
Lithuanian, Ruthenian, Sioux, Chip
pewa, Gros Ventre, Arapahoe, Crow,
Nsez Perces and Okanogan, and ha also
been arranged for military band and
orchestra, to be used either for accom-
panying the voices or as an instru-
mental selection. The words are by
Rev Hugh T. Henry, editor of Church
Music. and the music is by Rev. Fl. G..
Ganss who was for some years chap
lain at the Carlisle Indian school and
who is an excellent musician, having
won the national prize for a hymn of
the United States navy, entitled The
Banner of the Sea- in a public com
petition with 15S prominent composers
of this country, England and Wales.
Some Of our good Lutheran and Pres
byterian friends TO the contrary not
withstanding, we'll informed non-Cath-
olics. who accept the Catholic position
as stated and put in practice by the
Catholic body itself in this country and
throughout the entire world, know that
the peculiar theory of the pope's sup
posed universal temporal sovereignty
set forth by the authors of recent re-
plies to President Roosevelt and
ascribed therein to Catholics as a part
of their belief, is simple nonsense. The
simplest principle of justice will sug-
gest that Catholics are the best ex-
ponents Of their own belief and that
they are more likely to understand the
teachings of their spiritual leaders,
whether contained in papal documents
or in Cardinal Gibbons books, than
outsiders who are not in touch with
Catholic tradition and practice in these
matters.
For our own part we are content to
repudiate in toto the recent Lutheran
and Presbyterian Interpretation of the
nonexistent temporal sway credited by
them to the pope in foreign countries;
and we accept with our whole heart
the Catholic teaching, which makes
practical Catholics the world over the
truest, most patriotic and loyal citi-
zens of the government under which
they live; standing shoulder to shoulder
with their non-Catholic fellow citizens
in all movements for the common veal.
1t is a matter of altogether second
sry Importance that a Catholic should
be president of the United States. but
it is a matter of the very first import
ance that our good fellow citizens
should know us as we are; and that
harmony and good will should replace
narrowness &and religious prejudice in
our daily mutual contact in this broad
land of ours.
It is believed that the new code Of
canon law. now nearly completed. will
renew a good deal OF the ancient legis-
lation, fallen somewhat into allegiance,
concerning the rights and privileges
of cardinals, and that it may contain
important notifications in the present
status of primates and metropolitans.

neighbors Of New York state are de-
batting the question whether the sum Of
$4,000 is sufficient for the office Of
governor Of the Empire state. Some Of
the papers there favor constitutional
amendment, increasing the sum to S25,-

of the fact that the governor of New
