PRESIDENT OF THE 4. F. 4. SAYS THEY RULE THE GOVERNMENT,


 Members of Congress- Stress Laid

 Washington and an American One at
 Rome-TaxatiOn of all Church Property Advocated.
 the annual address of President Tray nor of the supreme council of the A. P. A. occupied the entire time of the morn ing session and. extended into the after noon. It contained over SO0O0 words, and covered about all the features of national affairs, politics, education, re- Iigious tyranny and liberty. and all mat ters pertaining to the organization of which he has been the head two years 1 The speaker devoted considerable att tention to the condition of affairs at the national capital. He regarded Wash ington as the greatest hotbed of politi- cal corruption of Jesuitism in this coun- try. During sessions of congress, he said, the city actually swarmed with un- scrupulous politicians, mainly of the Jesuit stripe, who constantly bounded members of congress and all govern
 
 many times into doing their bidding, when persuasion and purchase were irn- possible. He strongly advocated the es- tablishing of national headquarters of the organization in Washington and perpetually maintaining an admtnstra- tion of representative men of the order there from every state and territory to keep constant watch over the best in- terests of the country and defend con gressmen against the bulldozing en- croachments of Rome, which spared no effort to carry it's points in securing Legislation favorable to the papist hier- archy."
 This administration at the national capital he would have under the direct Supervision of the general judicial board of the organization.
 Mir Traynor laid much stress upon the Romish agitation for the permanent establishing of a recognized papal dele gate in Washington and ah American one in Rome This scheme, he said, was inaugurated by Romish hierarchy in 1851 and the papal authorities had work ed persistently since that time to carry 1t into effect If ever established, 1t would be taken by the world as a rec ognition of the temporal power of the pope over the world and would prove @ lasting barrier to the ultimate separa- ton of church and state. The papal university being established fin Wash ington was discussed as proof of the determination of the Romish hierarchy to concentrate it's power there and es- tablish a vatican at the national capi- tai in the near future as a further and discrimination of Romish determina- ton to gain political control In this country and establish rule of church over state.
 As a desirable barrier to the consum- nation of the purpose of the Romlsh hierarchy MT Taynor strongly indorsed the bill introduced in congress by Con gressman Reiner for the establishment of an American university in Washing ton, where the youth of America could | be as thoroughly educated as in any | of the great centers of learning in the | old world, and where they could be | free from the contamination and in- | huence which largely permeates many foreign educational centers,
 A glowing word picture was given to | the disgrace that would rest upon this | with Rome controlling the | aduea tional influence and institutions | of the national capital with a great | papal university and vatican firmly es- | la blished and this country without a | representative institution in | which to educate its young men and | in all the higher degrees of | learning and at the same time thoroughly instill into their minds the rue principals of patriotism, raise the standard of Statesmanship to a plane hat would redowned to the lasting | hat would rebound to the lasting | purify politics until only men of true |, lonor, principle and patriotism comd | nope to gain a seat in any legislative body.
 This, it was argued, was an end to which every true American could hon. .stly aspire, and 1t could be accom- ,1ished only by persistent, faithful and honest work, accompanied by se1f-sac- ificing and an unyieIding determna- ion to forever drive from the possibi- lties of American politics the securing f official position by unscrupulous nd dishonest men through triclery nd the shameless use of money which ow prevailed in many instances. Upon the question of politics MT |. 'raynor said neither of the old parties Is ad fulfilled it's pledges to the order, yhen it had been trusted. Hence fu- h ure political utilization should receive he most careful, thorough and inn h ,assioned consideration. There were l { wo courses, one of which must be pur- ued. One was to remain practical as ! t present, and persist in the effort to l urify politics through the instrument ! a1ity of the old parties. The other yas to encourage the formation of a , ew party, but outside of the order, mich would embody it's principals in
