With the growth of the ecclesias-
tical body and the diffusion Of greater
wealth, princely estates were being
daily added to the papal territories.
some of them belonging to the relig-
.lous orders, others to the prelates of
the Church, but all coming by de-
grees under the rule of the Pope.
The latter was no longer the func-
tionary of a foreign power and no
sovereign entered his domains with
out first paying his homage. When
international law came to decide the
customs and usages to be observed
between nations, ambassadors were
appointed from all civilized countries
to the papal court, which in it's own
turn appointed nuncios to the courts
of the various sovereigns The date
OF the founding of the temporal
power of the Popes may be placed at
500. That it's political influence was
enormous, some seventy-five years
later, is evident from the fact that at
the death of Louis the Second Of
France, of the two competitors Gear
loman and Charles the Bald)- for the
crown, Pope John VIII accepted
Charles the Bald to govern the coun-
try of the Franks. No one requires
to be told what the papal influence
amounted to in the reign of Henry II
of England, what role it played in
Europe during the 18th century, how
it fought the Lutheran schism of the
10th century, what it's influence meant
in wars Of the succession, how it's
action in the Catholic courts of Eu-
rope helped to bring about the fall
of Napoleonism. A eursory study of
lay history demonstrates clearly the
power which the Pope has ever exer-
cised on the history of the human
race; while a study of the periodical
literature Of the past twenty-five
years shows what part the sovereign
Pontiff still plays in the councils of
men. Without the Popes, Rome
might long ago have undergone the
fate of Carthage or Babylon. 1t is
an added glory of the papacy that it
saved ancient Rome for all time.

THE ROME OF THE POPES
THE INFLUENCE OF THE POPE IN
WORLD AFFAIRS HAS ALWAYS
BEEN RECOGNIZED.

Rome, in the days of Charles Mar
tel, was a simple duchy which but
for Pope Zachary had become the
prey of conquering Lombards, says a
writer in the Pittsburgh observer"
Though the Pope at this period was
only Bishop of Rome and conse-
quently under the political suzerainty
of the reigning duke, the fact re-
manned that he, of all the potentates
of Italy, then broke up into many
States, was the greatest contributor
to the exchequer of the Holy Roman
Emperors. At the same time, though
his territorial greatness was limited,
he was accorded as the head of the
spiritual world, precedence over any
of the princes of Italy and 1t was adj
mitted that morally and politically
he was the most powerful prince in
Italy," (Duchesne.J Pepin after GUST
ing the Duke of Rome from his do
minions, handed the territories legi-
timately conquered, over to the Pope
as a suitable domain for the rank
which the Sovereign Pontiff then
held in the councils of Kings.
This was the end of anything like
papal subsection to temporal
sovereign. Rome ceased to belong
to the Roman Empire; the Pope be-
came a temporal sovereign possessing
political autonomy. There being no
longer a Duke of Rome, the Bishop
of the Eternal City succeeded natu-
rally to the exercise of supreme power.
At the opening of the eighth century
there were besides the Sovereign
Pontiff, some twenty-five Cardinals
who formed the papa1 council and the
whole personal following of the Pope
naturally gravitated to the Lateran
when the Government of the States
was formed along the courtly, eccle-
siasticaI and administrative lines
which prevail to a great extent to our
own days. OF these functions, some
became laiciged in the course of time,
others remaining peculiar to ecclesias-
tics.

cort. The pail bearers were drawn
from the regiment and the Sons
of Veterans. At the grave a squad
Of guardsmen fired salute and the
regimental bugler sounded taps.
Colonel King was born in Washing
ton, d. c., on February 81, 1882. He
came to st. Paul in 1860, and when
Governor Ramsey on April Is, 1861,
wired from Washington President
Lincoln's first call for volunteers.
Colonel King offered his services to
the country, signed his name on the
roll and thus became the first volun-
teer for the war to suppress the
rebellion. He was member of Com
pany A. First Minnesota, the first
company Of the first regiment to be
enlisted under the Presidents procla-
nation. He became drill master be-
fore being mustered in and was ap-
pointed first Sergeant before going to
the front. He won his Captaincy at
the Battle of Bull Run. He was pres
ent at the battles of Edwards Ferry,
Yorktown, Fair Oaks, Antietam,
Fredericksburg, Charlestown, and
Characteristic. He had horse shot
under him at Antietam and another
at Chancellorville, but escaped with
out wound.
He returned to st. Paul in 1870, and
was appointed Inspector General of the
State Guard. By profession he was
civil engineer and in his spare
moments devoted himself to painting.
He possessed considerable native ar
tistic ability and placed on canvas
his recollections of some of the stir
ring events of the Civil War. -
During his whole life Colonel King
was devout Catholic who served his
country the more faithfully because
Of his allegiance to his Church.

among those present, when the Satur-
day night dance ushered in Sunday
morning. They are at Mass, but not
to adore the Body and Blood of Christ.
'They drop on one knee, or take a
#crouching position, like sharpshooters
on skirmish line," said the justly in
sdignant pastor, who dubbed them the
standing army"
The priest is not crank" when
he insists that we should assist at
Mass with interior piety, and outward
respect. 1t is his duty to order the
straggler away from the door, to come
on time, and to kneel in the pew
where he may hear Mass devoutly.
Kneel down at Mass, young man, ev-
cry Sunday and holy day. Stand up
for the Church and her doctrines, when
she is attacked by those who know
her not.

TAKING RELIGIOUS PROPERTY
BILL IN NEW YORK LEGISLATURE
WOULD ABOLISH TAX 'EXEMP-
TIoNs IN FAVOR OF RELIGIOUS
AND CHARITABLE PROPERTY.

Another bill to abolish tax exemp-
tons in favor of religious and chart
table property is to be brought before
the New York state legislature at an
early date. Assemblyman Ross Graves
of Buffalo is it's sponsor.
Mr.. Graves will take as founda-
ton for his proposed legislation bill
introduced last year, by Senator
Spring of Cattaraugus and Assembly
man Sullivan of Chautauqua, which
limited to 100000 the exemption on
the value of property of religious, edu-
cational, cemetery and similar corpo-
rations, which are now entirely ex-
empt from taxation. Mr. Graves, how
ever, will go a sep further and in
troduce a bill along the lines of the
Spring Sullivan. BILL, but without any
limitation whatever. In other words,
the proposed bill, if enacted into law,
would wipe out these tax exemptions
altogether.
