The Boston Pilot makes the following
reference to comment made by the
Transcript of that city relative to the
recent action of q Catholic priest of
Baltimore in requesting colored Catlho-
lies to attend their own churches. We
heartily agree with the Pilot in say
ing that there is not and should not
be any color line in the church:
1.-THE Boston Transcript may be sure
that Cardinal Gibbons will do justice
to the negroes who have appealed to
him in the matter of the exclusion of
members Of their race from the church
OF the immaculate Conception, Balti-
more. The cardinal, as the Trans
cript justly recalls, was the only Mary
land clergyman Of any prominence who
raised his voice against the recently
enacted Jim Crow law. His eminence,
with another distinguished Baltimor-
can, the Hon. Charles J. Bonaparte,
also protested against the political dis
franchisement of the negroes of the
South. For the rest, we appreciate
its conviction that the act Of one priest
does not reflect any change in the at
Htude Of the church as whole, and is
q profound grief to the whole Catholic
body. Says the Transcript:

lad we q government of law, I'D,
ministered by law-respecting jurist
in the presidents chair, is it to be sup.
posed for moment that the statutes
which the trusts ignore would be un-
enforced, as now?
Judge Parker, If chosen to succeed
Roosevelt, would have no alternative,
as lawyer and an honest man, but to
execute the laws as he should find
them. .H
Theodore Roosevelt is unsafe, not
only because he holds himself above
the law when he is tempted by his in
clinations or ambition to undertake
any adventure promising glory, but be-
cause he refuses to execute the laws
impartially, suspending some and en-
forcing others, as interest or within
suggests.
Judge Parker would not be that
kind Of president. All his habits of
mind, his long career on the bench, his
whole life, forbid the thought that he
could possibly assume the Roosevelt
role, which is essentially that of die.
tator.
And for a dictator this country is
too big and free.
THAT is why the country would
willingly be rid of the self-opinonated,
high-handed and incurably egotistic
Roosevelt, and live again under the
constitution and the laws"
The situation is well put. The Re-
publican newspapers, dazed by the
sudden change in the situation, are
vainly striving to inject old issues in
to the campaign. They are striving to
twist out of Judge Parker's magni-
ticent display Of courage and straight
fOrwardness in politics mere political
trick. The attempt has failed. The
American people passed judgment on
Judge Parker's telegram on Sunday
morning, July 10Th. The verdict is
unanimous in favor of that mans hon.
esty and courage. They need look no
further. The main issues are Roose-
veltism and the fragrant acts of cor
ruption on the part of his subordin-
ates.

He spoke Of the position Of women

no better than slaves, and told how the
church had raised women to be the
equal of man, and his superior in viz.

to 200 years ago, dwelling upon the
horrors of the old jails, and the ter
rible tortures inflicted upon the VIC
tins confined in them. All these evils.
were remedied by the Catholic church,
he said, and through the church the
present high standard of justice was
brought about.
