He RakeS Roosevelt.

Rev. Benjamin J. Kelley, Bishop
of the Catholic Diocese of Savannah,
made a Confederate Memorial Day
address in Guards Hall on April 26.
The Bishop, who was a Confederate
soldier, criticised President Roosevelt
severely. His speech is reported as
follows:
at is true that the gentleman who
now happens to sit in the Presiden-
tial chair at Washington has written
of President Davis:
"Before JEFF Davis took his place
among arch traitors, etc, it was
natural that to dishonesty he should
add treachery to the public. The
moral difference between Benedict
Arnold on the one hand and Aaron
Burr and JEFF Davis on the other is
the difference between a politician
who sells his vote for money and one
who supports bad measure to get a
high political position.
when Mr.. Davis was a prisoner
a fellow named Miles placed shackles
on him in prison, although there was
no necessity for it, and no one but a
brute would have done it. But /
have never heard that Miles, after
Mr.. Davis death, brutally maligned
his character. That species of en-
venomed malice was reserved for the
recreant son of a Southern woman,
the Rough Rider of Republican poll
tics, the lightning-change artist OF
the White House, who eau hobnot
with the Kaiser's brother and sill

negro; who can indulge in meaning
