were simply some English Protest
ants who left their own country to
secure religious freedom, and then,
when they came here, they refused
to grant the very same freedom of
worship to anyone outside them

Igious freedom was first granted in
this country in Catholic Maryland by
Lord Baltimore, himself a Catholic.
So why then should Itake any pleas

CREMATION OF THE DEAD.-Is
a subject of more vital importance to
the living>than is generally realized,
and must, in time, as the population
Of the earth increases, become ne
cessary and universal.
Objections to cremation are either
sentimental or religious. Prejudice
is dispeIed by witnessing the process,
whereby the terrors of being buried
aliveraDe avoided. Under the improv-
ed modern methods, which are swift
and sure, there is no longer any
danger Of imperfect results. -
When Napoleon at st. Helena ex-
pressed the wish that his body might
be burned, he remarked that, with
the Creator, resurrection was as easy
from the ashes as from the dust Of a
skeleton. This seems reasonable
enough to satisfy the small minority
of ignorant and superstitious people
who believe in a literal resurrection.
y Cremation is a sanitary necessity
that should be accepted by all In
quiry always has and ever must re-
suit from the unhealthy, loathsome
and indecent practice of poluting
the earth, air and water by interring
the dead in the midst of the living.
When the necessity for it has once
become a settled conviction with a
people, nothing but the pressure of a
eonquering race or religion, inimical
to the practice, will ever eradicate it.
The growth Of population will
force discussion upon the thoughtful

"RoMA CAPITALE."

It was Just half a century ago today
that the French troops were with
drawn from Rome, and this action
marked the first step in the series Of
events which led up to the realization
of the old dream of 1Roma capitale"
of united Italy. In 1848 Mazzini had
launched his brilliant plan for a, Unit
ed Italian republic, and proclaimed
the fall Of the temporal power Of the
popes. In defending Rome against
the armies sent to the aid of the Pope
by the Neapolitan king and the
French Emperor Garibaldi covered
the Republic with glory, but a great
er French army was despatched, and
the Roman republicans weref orced to
surrender. When Napoleon III. with
drew his troops from Rome in 1886
the Roman committee Of insurrectton
renewed its activities, with the watch
word, "Try again and do better" In
1870 Gen. Cadorna, father Of the pres
ent commander Of the Italian armies,
led his troops into the Eternal City,
and thus the scheme of national unity
impossible Of accomplishment while
the popes maintained their temporal
power, was achieved by the monarchy
of Savoy, in the person of Victor
Emanuel, who had sworn on his sword
many years before, "By heaven, there
shall be no italy,!

ermanic committees for the last year
and Of other. departments for whom
he buys, had averaged $3.50 per

coming year. In addition to the ST.
900 for postage, the board will re-
