1.-The Emperor's subjects, even his
servants and courtiers, fled from him
as from the plague when the ban of
the Sovereign Pontiff was announced.
All the imperial power vanished.
"The Pope was in a castle of Ca
nossa, among the mountains of Mo-
dena, in Italy. There appeared the
Emperor, who had crossed the Alps
in the winter, and, clad in a peni-
tents garb, stood barefoot in the
snow, knocking humbly at the gate.
Three days in succession he re-
turned to the same place, standing
alone, barefoot, in the snow all day,
eating nothing, lonely and humilia-
ted, between the high palace walls.
"The fourth day, January 25, 1877,
the Pope admitted him to his pres
ence, accepted his apologies and al
lowed him to continue as Emperor,
after he had sworn to obey the COM
mands OF the Church.

Bryce, investigator of Prussian
atrocities, and recently British am
bassador to this country, says of the
Canossa incident:
""That one scene was enough to
mark decisive change and inflict
an irretrievable disgrace on the crown
so debased.'
What better work could the Popes
have done thar demonstrate to the
people the feebleness of kings and EN-.
perors and the limitations of their
boosted autocratic power?
'The work of humiliating kings was
we'll begun when the old Bishop com.
manded the pagan French king before
all his mobiles:
Bow the head, proud Sicambrian;
| adore what you have burned and burn
what you have adored'
"The task was nearly finished by
| Napoleon, who made kings ridiculous
keeping them waiting in his anti
room, like lackeys.

pletely accomplished by democracy
when this war ends.
The Kaiser is destined if he lives
a year, to hear Democracy's order:
Change here for Canossa."

The AbleSt Are Picked
To Rule the Church

Arthur Brisbane, writing for the
Hearst newspapers, had very inter-
esting article on Catholic Democracy
in the American last week. Mr.. Bris-
bane is not Catholic, but his views
of the Church always commend
Catholic attention. The article is as
follows:
cardinal Farley, of New York,
whose health has caused anxiety, is
improving. Welcome news to the
millions.
'"ro the citizens of any religion, or
none, Cardinal Farley, apart from high
personal character, is interesting as
proof of the fact that democratic gov
eminent is the most successful in re-
ligion as we'll as in the state.
Cardinal Farley, born poor, has
risen by his own ability and merit to
the highet rank, but one, in the old
est Christian Church.
"In this he typifies the Catholic
democracy that interestes the student
of history.
Religions and rules have risen
and fallen. The Catholic Church has
Como on, powerful, from century to
century.
Empires and kingdoms, great fam
lilies and dynasties arose and disap-
peared Their control was left to the
accident of berth. If the tirst-born
male was fool or weakling, that
meant destruction.
"The Catholic Church never left
leadership to chance. Not any first
born, but the ablest was elected. He
was chosen by body of well-trained
men, interested in securing the ablest,
as leader.
"The method of electing Popes in
terests Americans because it is the
method-it may be called intellectual
democracy-favored by those that
founded this Republic
"Our forefathers had no intention
of allowing every man to vote for an
individual president. The plan, now
in the Constitution, although disre-
garded in practice, was to have the
masses choose superior men as "elec-
tors" and leave the choice of Presi-
dent to that superior body, as the
Catholic Church leaves the selection

"The Pope summoned the En-.
peror to Rome to answer charges
The Emperor replied, deposing the

"The Pope communicated the

RANKS OF THE WORKERS.

Whenever a man or woman drops
out of the ranks of the workers in
low or high places, not for disability,
but because Of needless discourage
ment or the seeming unfairness of
the world, everyone suffers bit from
the consequences of that desertion.
Many say they have not the cour-
age. Let them dig for it! Let them
go into the deeps of their souls where
they will find grit and resolution Of
which they never dreamed. No disease
of the will is incurable. Some of the
worst failures in the history of the
world, the most degraded of mankind.
the men and women who have borne
unspeakable suffering. have found out
this truth when they summoned
strength to vitalize the last hope. No
matter how they did it, whether by
religion, encouragement or hard think
ing, they did it. 1t is a reminder that
should be on every mans door, and in
every mans heart. 1t is duty never
to be forgotten. Good work in liveli-
hood. in education, in service to others.
and in duty to God. consists in homely
words in being on the job"
Many sheer and call it platitude,
but you will never hear this opinion
from any man or woman who uses
il as n life-mOttO from any one who
succeeded, whether sinner or saint.

Historic ron
Grown Of Mona
Is Now In Rome

Some months ago the Roman dailies
announced the arrival at Rome Of the
Iron Crown of Monza, the most his
torical of 1Iurope's art treasures. 1t
was intended, they told us, to place
it in the museum which is being ar
ranged in the famous PalaZZo vene
zia there.
Owing to the close associations Of
the crown with the Holy Roman En-
pire it is of interest to give here the
history as given by the semi-oflicial
organ of the Vatican. The Iron Grown
of Monza is formed of band of iron
covered with six plates of gold united
by clasp enamelled and jewelled.
A pious tradition holds the circle of
iron was made of one of the Holy
Nails of the Cross of Calvary.
A discussion arising as to the cult
that ought to be paid to this venerable
relic, the Sacred Congregation of Rites
delegated the celebrated Cardinal
Lambertini afterwards Pope Ben
edict the Fourteenth, out of respect
for whom Cardinal Della Chiesa took
the name of Benedict in 1910, to ex-
anime it.
Cardinal Lambertini decided venera-
ton might be shown it, and that it
might be carried in procession.
The earliest traditions of the Crown
are these: st. Ambrose said in his
funeral Grafton over Emperor Theo-
dora I that the Empress st. Helena,
on finding the Holy Nails at Jerusa-
lem had one of them fashioned into
a diadem ornamented with gems and
sent to Emperor Constantine, her son.
This the mighty congueror placed on
his helmet. St. Gregory the Great OBJ
tanned it as gift, later on. Pope
Gregory presented it to Theolinda,
Queen of the Lombards, who donated
it to the Basilica of st. John which
she had just erected at Monza.
1t is said the Queen directed her
successors should be crowned with
this relic, and that she herself crown
ed with it her husband, Agilulius.
Critics reject this tradition on the
grounds that the Longobard kings as
cended the throne after the German
fashion, i. e., by raising them upon
their shields. Some hold that Charlie
magne was the first to be crowned
with it, while others say it was Ohio,
but they have no documents to prove
their statement.
The following were certainly
crowned with it; Berengarius at Mi
Ian, (SSS), Rudolphius, King of Bor-
gogna. at Pavia, (92D, Ohio III, at
Monza, 1886, Henry III, at Milan,
(1O46), Corrada III, in Monza, (1138),
Frederick I, Monza, Q15s), Henry III,
Mona, q159), Henry vi, Monza,
(119D, Charles w, Milan, 1850, Sig
ismund, Milan, (143D, Frederick W
Rome, (1452), not wishing to be
crowned at Milan; Macmillan I in
Germany, at the hands of Legate a
latere, (1496), Charles V, Of Bologna,
The Irish standard., 1918-10-19

(15S0), Napoleon l, Milan, (1S05), and
finally Ferdinand I, of Austria, Milan,
0s3S).
On two occasions the Crown was in
danger of being lost. In 1878 the Tor
regiani. the lords of Milan, being in
need of money, pledged part of the
treasury of Monza, and with it the
Crown of Iron. But in 1919 it was re-
deemed by Ottone Visconti. Five
years later it was sent to Avignon to
save it from the fury of the factions.
1t was restored to Monza in 1916 by
Clement vi.
