There Is no reason why newspaper

popular impression, newspaper pub
LEGATION is fairly lucrative bust
ness. Industry and business sense
win as much profit in the newspaper
field as In any Of the professions or

They are willing to pay their way, and

Theodore Roosevelt is no drawer
than many another man. who has rail-
en- in struggle against Mammon, but ne
has the moral vision. 1t Is often more
difficult ia know the right than to do
1t. A broader education than any man
has brought to the White House since
Jefferson's day, a life unstained by
vice OF any kind, a clean mind and
boyish heart, simple. confiding, and
lust, have combined to keep Theodore
Roosevelt's faith in God and his be-
lief In the common honesty of the COM

has these two convictions welded into
his soul, he plays no tricks, lays no
ambushes, relies on no strategy. but,
seeing his duty. goes to it toyously.

Cardinal Gibbons on the "congo."

There has been Il great amount OF
exaggeration In these stories of mall
administration. The king is a wise as
we'll as a humane ruler; and we hear
thru missionary sources that whenever
cases of cruelty have occurred--as such
things Will occur in every human gov
ernment--the king has been prompt to
redress such abuses and TO punish the
offenders His recent DEGREES granting
the natives additional lands and amel-
ioratiag the conditions of the native
laborers are an added evidence OF his
desire TO do everything possible for
the good of his native subjects.
II fear that this agitation against
King Leopolds administration is ami
mated partly by religious jealousy and
partly by commercial rivalry 1t is to

carrying it on will not be successful

ers of the earth to interfere in the al
