MeLAURIN FOR ROOSEVELT.

Ex-senator from South Carolina Saws
Democrats and Republicans Should
Nominate Him for Third Term.
The Washington correspondent of
the News and Observer says:
"The people Of the United States
should disregard all party Ines,"
said former United States Senator
John l.. McLaurin, of South Caro-
lima, tonight, sand nominate Presi-
dent Roosevelt for third term. I,
for one, intend to support Mr.. Roose-
welt if he is a candidate next year.
Senator McLaurin declared that the
suggestion that the Democratic party
make Mr.. Roosevelt the candidate
in 1908 meets with his hearty ap-
prevail, but he added, sit is too wise
suggestion to ever be adopted by
the Democratic party"
"In my opinion" Senator Nc
Laurin continued, "President Roose-
welt is the greatest man who has ever
occupied the White House. He was
honest and sincere when he issued
the statement on election night in
1904 that he would never accept a
denomination for the presidency, and
I fear that he will be too honest
to disregard this pledge to the peo-
pie. The nation should, however,
disregard his wishes and give him a
unanimous denomination and elec-
ton. The work which he has begun
of regulating the railroads and cor
porations and the building Of the
Panama canal cannot be completed
during the present administration,
and there is not another man in
this county who can carry the work
on as the President has and is now
doing. 1t seems. to me that God
Almighty created the man for the
great work which he is doing for
the country"

THE SCIENCE OF LIVING SPIRITS.

we can know nothing OF living spirits, of the

REACTION AT THE VATICAN.

A painful impression has been produced. accord
ing to a Roman correspondent Of THE London
Tribune" by what is considered as the arbitrary
action of the Vatican in the removal of Monslgnor
Fracasslni from the dictatorship Of seminary at
Perugia, where he also professor OF Hebrew
and Holy Scripture.
Monsignor Fracassini had held the post for sew
enteen YEARS and enjoyed the confidence Of Leo
XIII himself a former Bishop OF Perugia. and he
was invited by him TO join the Pontlhcal Commis-
sion on Bible Studies Monsignor Fracassini is
known and esteemed not only for his learning. but
for his singular piety and blameless life.
About two years a campaign was started
against him by certain ultra conservatives, and In
consequence an Apostolic visitor sent from the
Vatican 10 Perugia to inquire into the matter
Accusations were made against the tendencies Of
current reports they rested on no better founda-
ton than on the notes taken at his lectures by a
student not belonging to the seminary
Orders were transmitted from Rome TO the Arch
bishop OF Perugia for Monsignor Fracasstni's re-
noval from his post. but the prelate replied that
such action was tantamount TO the condemnation
OF one who had done much TO raise the intellectual
level OF the seminary. The Archbishops remon-
STRANGE had no effect, and after months silence
he was enjoined TO carry out the previous direc-
tions. Monsignor Fracassinfs orthodoxy Is not
doubted II was a question merely of tendencies
No similar measure has called forth such sincere
expressions of regret since the removal OF Pro-
fessor Rouauti from his chair in leading Roman
college After all however, he Is very young
man whereas Monsignor Fracassini's long expert
enoe renders the measure now taken by the vail
can vastly more serious.
