FOUNDER AT BANQUET
ARCHBISHOP KEANE ADDRESSES
CARROLL INSTITUTE.
Praise for President Roosevelt
"Truest American Man"-Those
at the Table.

Iowa, IN an ADDRESS last evening at the an
nual banquet of Carroll Institute, of which
| he was the founder, said that in all his
travels he had never found a type of man
hood as good as the American and that
President Roosevelt was the .'truest Ameri-
can man" he knew. The occasion was also
notable for the starting of a campaign for
the paying of the debt on the institute and
the charging of its scope to that of a rep
resentative Catholic school of the country.
In this Archbishop Keane and Rev. DR..
Stafford, pastor of st. Patrick's Church,
took the lead.
Archbishop Keane was escorted into the
banquet hall by DR.. Stafford and several
members of the board of directors of the
institute. just as the $50 guests were fin
lshlng the menu. A few minutes later he
was introduced by James F. Shea, presi-
dent of the board of directors, as having
been connected with the school years ago
when assistant pastor of ST. Patricks The
archbishop was received with prolonged
cheers.
He told of the founding of the institute,
thlrty-one years ago, and said Its only OBJ
Ject was the developing of true American
manhood. He said he was a utilitarian
measuring the right of any person or thing
10 existence by the amount of good 1t does.
IN that way he wanted the worth Of Carroll
Instltute measured. The school, he con-
tlnued has weathered many a storm. hut

Father Stafford did the other night when

was founded.
Il am glad this banquet takes place in
Inauguration week, when the American
people are giving the highest compliment
in their bestowal to the truest American
man I know. God bless Carroll Institute
and bless that man of sterling honesty
and absolute fearlessness in what he be-
lieves to be right, Theodore Roosevelt"
DR.. Stafford Speaks.
Dr. Stafford was called upon to speak
next He congratulated Carroll Institute
on its growth and said that he yielded only
to Archbishop Keane In devotion to its
interests. Continuing, he said, that in his
opinion the institute was not doing all it
could and urged that itsJ friends start a
campaign for increasing its powers and
paying off the debt under which it now
stands. He said several persons near him
had just pledged $500 toward lifting the
debt, or reducing it to a more manageable
amount, and agreed to add his $500 to the
list He made an appeal for a national
institute in this city that would be repre-
sentative of Roman Catholic activity in
the country. Carroll Institute. he declared
is just the one to take on such wide pro-
portions.
At the conclusion of DR. Staffords speech,
which was received with enthusiasm Arch
bishop Keane added a word to these senti-
ments and himself pledged like amount to
help lift the debt
