THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AND

bishop. THE church has oniv ~.

die ages, when all nations were cam.
one, the pope by general consent was
looked upon as general arhiter even In
temporal matters. but he did not clotn,

does not claim anything of the kind
today and does not want to hold nnv
such position in American affairs.
doubt whether there is more liberal
man In the world today than Leo XIII
am sure there is none who under
stands better the American people ana
loves ana blesses the liberty which we
nave here. He has u strong admlra-
ton for republican form OF govern
ment and very deep interest In our
future as nation. The pope Is thor
oughly in touch with the times and
with the age of today. He believes In
democracy as allied to good govern
ment and is for everything that is
good. true and beautiful in modern
progress"
ARCHBISHOP AND McKINLEY's
PASTOR.
Nevertheless. your excellenry, there
seem to be many who believe different
ly. You remember the sermon which
one of the Washington preachers de-
livered before congregation of which
President Mckinley was a member on
Thanksgiving day?'
Yes, do" replied the archbishop.
He said, / think. that the chief dangers
for America were from rum, socialism
and Jesuitism.' That man was an ig-
noramous and thoroughly ill-bred. He
took advantage of day of thanksglv-
ing, when all the country was think
ing of peace,to insult ten million Amer
loan yOters and In hia ilI-brad way
tried to take advantage of the pres
ence of the President to commit him
to such n blunder. have no patience
with such small-minded men. 1 should
say that the three great evils for
America are rum, socialism and blgot-
ry, and in this would not place big
otry at the bottom"
