amounting to 10000 pounds per annum.
OF these, twenty are Protestants, who

try branches there are 81 Protestant
to 10 Catholic agents (managers). Tho
Protestant agents receive in salaries
about 22.75o pounds: the Catholics
about 1925. In the same country
branches there are IS Protestant to 1:
Catholic sub-agents. Among the

The Pope and tho Boy.

One day last year, says a Roman

grandmother. He was very prettily

trained in what he was to do when he
entered the Holy Fathers presence.

and then to kiss the Holy Fathers ring
If he was allowed; he must not be
afraid, but he must be very gopd.
1t was all beautifully arranged. Be-
fore going to the Vatican he had a last
rehearsal; the grandmother stood in in
q corner of the room in the hotel, .he
little fellow came in, made his three
senuhexions, kissed her hand, and then
drew aside. At the Vatican, too, he
got through the first part of his cera-
mony with perfect aplomb. But when
he raised his head after bending his
knee for the first time and saw the
white figure of the Pope standing
few yards away, with his arms stretch
ed out and beautiful, fatherly, smile
OH his face, he forgot the rest, and the
ladies were taken aback to see him
run towards the Holy Father with his
hands lifted as if he actually wanted
to be taken and kissed-which was ex-
actly what happened,-a not only
that, but the Pope took him over to
his desk and selected beautiful gold

The Pride Of Venice.

The Basilica of st. Mark in Veni"e
is one of the most interesting churches
in Christendon. It's history reads like
romance. and its legends are very
beautiful. Many books have been
written about it. and almost every
traveller to Venice describes st.
Marks.
During the last restoration of this
famous edifice an important discovery
was made. In the cement which at
tsches the mosaic to the wall in the
Tribune of the Patriarch was found a
small copper coin of the time of Doge
Dandolo. This settled an important
question,-it proved that that portion
OF the cathedral was built in the
twelfth century, the most glorious
ariod of the Venetian Republic. The
coin probably fell into the cement
from the pocket of one Of the work.

WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT.

This is the man. and not William j.
Bryan. that the people have chosen
for the next president of the United
States. Contrary to, the expectation
OF his followers. the noble Nebraskan
has gono down to defeat for the third
time with colors flying. He is the
only man in the history of the coun-
try who has ever received from any
party. the nomination for the Pres-
dency after two defeats: and now,
after the third disaster, not one of his
supporters is heard to blame him for
the result. He made a magniflcen:
campaign, and though rejected by a
vote of his countrymen for the hiyi-
est honor in their gift, they still hold
him in high esteem and are proud Of
him as an American product.
1t Is useless to moralize or philosoph-
izts over the defeat of William j. Bryan
The people have rendered their decis.
ion and there is no appeal to a higher
tribunal. He is not he only brilliant

JOHNSON is VICTORIOUS.

After a strenuous campaign that
taxed the physical endurance of the
opposing candidates for governor of
Minnesota, John A. johnson was re-
elected. for third term, by $4,000
majority. He not only swept the cit
les away from Jacobson, but invaded
the country districts and carried many
of them from his popular opponent.
Though the best orators of the Repub.
lican party, including the two United
States senator's, took the stump for
Jacobson and used all their persuasive
eloquence for his election. John A.
Johnson, almost single-handed counter
acted their influence and carried the
prize. 1t can be traly said that he is
the ablest campaigner that Minnesota
has yet produced.
Jacobson proved himself formid-
able antagonist. Lacking the culture
and personal charm of Johnson, he dis
played natural ability of no mean or.
der and pleaded his cause forcibly and
rloquent1y for man of no literary at
tatnments whatever. Though defeat.
ed, Jacobson made favorable impress
sion on even his opponents and con-
yinced them of his earnestness and
sincerity in behalf of the farming pop
ulation of the state. He certainly dep.-
onstrated his ability to represent a
rural constituency in the state legis-
lature, and there is where he would be
conspicuous as an advocate of the
farming interests.
The reelection of John A. johnson
is great tribute to his personality
and efficiency. Only one man-the
late John s. Pillsbury-filled the gov.
ernor's chair three times before him.
In Michigan, Governor Warner tried
for third term and failed.
The strongest appeal to Republicans
from political partisans to defeat John
son was on the ground of third term.
Nothing was said against him in shis
public capacity. He had antagonized
the corporations by simply discharging
his official duties, and that only added
TO his popularity with the people. The
Republican press of the state was ar
raigned against him but without avail.
The more 1t misrepreesnted him the
stronger he grew In the face of the
greatest ODnOsition and durino q nroo
idential election, the Republicans of
Minnesota elected him in preference
to their own standard bearer. What
greater compliment could be confer.
ferred on a Democrat?
The Irish Standard heartily support
cd johnson in this campaign, as it did
in preceding ones, and now congratu.
lates him on his victory. We trust
lie will. continue to govern the state
wisely and well.

decessors. His trip through the
country during the campaign has
broadened him out and enlarged his
views. He knows what is required Of
him and his party. and that the day
will come when he has to render al

will be no Roosevelt at the White
House in 1912. He will be judged hs
the record he makes during the next

greater influence with Congress than

he will be more dignifled in his LAM
