WILL HAVE ABSOLUTE CONTROL

President Roosevelt occupies a posi-
ton which no other p,rblr man ever
occupied before. The great mass of
his party insist that he shall be the
next nominee of the Republican party.
He has ON SO many occasions positive
~ announced that he will not be the
nominee that it must be taken for
granted that Republicans will have to
he satisfied with allowing President
Roosevelt to dictate tho candidates and
the platform. All present Indications
are that he will absolutely control the
actions of the next Republican convcn-
ton. From interviews given out from
Democratic sources recently it appears
that there is a demand in the Demo-
cratic party that President Roosevelt
DC nominee of that party. The de-
mand is not so universal or so per-
Sistcnt that it will allow the president
to dictate the platform and candidate
OF the Democratic party, but under the
conditions the President ought to see
that the Republican convention is held
first Flo would then be in a position
where. il the Republicans did not obey
his commands, he could issue them to
the Democrats. and thus give his fol-
lowers the chance to vote for his poll
cles and his candidate. Doubtless the
President thinks that he is above and
beyond party ties. Certainly he has
acted without much regard for them.
Roosevelt Republicans could under
certain circumstances. with much bet
ter ease vote for a Democratic cantli-
date than for the Republican. If the
conservatives in the Republican party
could by any possible means defeat the
Roosevelt Republicans in the national
convention. party ties would form no
obstacle to voting for a Democratic
candidate.
AS the situation now exists, the
President not only must avoid Re-
publican nomination. hut he must also
avoid the calamity of heing consd-
cred as a Democratic candidate. We
suspect that the shrewd political man
ayers of the old Republican machine,
who are interested in putting Roose-
welt out of the way. are largely re-
sponsible for the talk of Roosevelt in
connection with the Democratic nom-
ination. Such talk is an effectual way
Of destroying the Presidents control

succeed in destroying Roosevelt in this
way. but if they accomplish that pur-

pie. may. perhaps, render it of interest
to call attention to the fact that the

fact that he has a greater number of
living predecessors in his present
Office than probably any statesman in
any country in the world. says the
Boston Pilot. There are no fewer
than thirteen eX-Chef Secretaries for
Ireland now living, from the present
Duke of Devonshire, who was Chief
Secretary in 1871, to MIR. Walter Long,
who was Chief Secretary in 1905. The
other Chief Secretaries, of whom, in
the words of Mr.. Birrel, there are a
good number in the enjoyment of
robust health, are--Sir Michael Hicks

That the clergy of the United States
are progressive cannot be denied, says
the Denver Catholic. They are always
alert to the wants of the people whose
souls they have in their care. 1t cam
not be said that the church is behind
the times. Quite the contrary. She
is up-to-d date. Always introducing in
novationS to interest the young. Es-
tahlishing and organizing clubs, So
ricties and assisting in all worthy ell
terprises for the uplifting of mankind.
a few years ago in New York, it was
found that many newspaper men were
forced To miss mass on Sunday ON ac-
count of occupation. The clergy i'm
mediately began the midnight mass
especially for the newspaper men. This
has proven so popular that more than
l,50O journalists attend this mass.
Then again, there is the church at
which those who follow the stage at
tend IT is really interesting on a
Sunday morning to attend mass at a
church where the choir is composed
of celebrated singers Of the stage, the
ushers are actors and all attendance
is composed. as much AS possible, of
these who earn their living from the
fo"tiiShts. And who can say that the
Church is behind the times. Certainly
only those ignorant ones who push
themselves forward and will give YOU
quotations from authors who know
but are too bieoted to admit. No. the
church for twenty centuries has kent

Care Of the Teeth,

Take a drink of cold water the f1rst
thing in the morning, says Aunt Bride
i'll the Sacred Heart Review. Then
brush the teeth with an antiseptic So
luton. or one of the powders or pastes
that come for the purpose. Cleanse
your nasal passages with a. similar
solution used in an atomizer or taken
from the palm of your hand. Brush
the teeth after each meal or use den.
tai floss to remove particles of food.
Rinse your mouth with a solution Of
baking soda, borax or listerine at night.
Just before going to bed. Hold the So
luton in your mouth for three or four
minutes. This will neutralize the
acids which sometimes form in the
mouth and cause the teeth to crun1ble.
If. in spite of your care. your teeth
show signs Of decay have them filled
at once. Don't let the holes get large.
and don't have tooth pulled if you
can possibly save it. All this sounds
like considerable work, but it will pay
you to do it.

We have quoted the above for the
purpose of showing what Protestant,
who has studied the question thinks of
the nature of the struggle now going
on in France between the Catholic
Church and the avowed enemies of
Christianity. If the suggestion he
makes was acted upon. Catholic
opinion, as voiced in great mass
meetings held in many American
cities. would be reinforced by Protest
ant opinion. American Catholic and
Protestant sentiment would lin this
way make itself felt effectively in
France.
In the meantime it behooves us all
to keep in mind the fact that the
Catholic Church in France is just now

Roosevelt Republicans will destroy the
Republican party.
About the only thing that is left for
the enemies of Roosevelt in the Re-
publican party is to accept the least
Objectionable Roosevelt candidate, for
in the convention the latter will de-
feat the Republican party at the polls.
There is far less difference between
Mr.. Roosevelt and MIR. Bryan than
there is between Speaker Cannon and
President Roosevelt.
The next Republican convention will
be a critical one for that party. Either
the Republican masses must control
it, and it now seems certain that they
Roosevelt. If Roosevelt succeeds the
powerful interests who have contrib
uted so literally to maintain the party
in power will no longer be interested
in the organization. If the enemies Of
Roosevelt succeed, the great mass of
Republican voters will lose interest
in the party. II does seem that the
Republican party has at last come to
a point where it cannot control both
the monied interests and the common
voter, and this result has been brought
about because the leaders of that
party in attempting to put Mr.. Roose-
Welt out of the way. nominated him for
the office of Vice President BY a
series of events not anticipated. he
has succeeded to a position where the
party must follow him or accept de-

of their race. Their refusal to allow
their children to attend the. schools

from that government concession of

are mistaken about Socialists being
opposed to the Church. and that the
leaders of that world movement actu-
ally have a, profound love for Chris
tlanity, says the Syracuse, N. Y, Cath
Ollie Sun.
Now, let us see. It occurs to us
that Eugene V. Debs is somewhat of

twice their candidate for president of
the United States. If he doesn't know
the principles of his cult certainly it's
leaders thought he knew. They NOM
mated him, and appauded him, and
yelled for him until he went down in
defeat.
In the Appeal to Reason, a Social
list sheet published at Girard. Kansas,
under date of April 20, Debs has page
article entitled Roosevelt and His
president we have nothing to say. He
is able to take care of himself. In
concluding his paper, however, he
says:
Archbishop Ireland, the plutocratic
preate. will cheerfully certify to
Roosevelt as the anointed of the Lord.
And this will make another interesting
chapter for later review; d chapter
that will deal with Ireland as the po-

"rhe Tramp of Gallee" is a delicate
Debsian reference to Christ. Is it not
blaspneny? How do the Catholic So
cialists like this utterance of their
late political chief? How do they like
this reference to Catholics as be
nighted:" OF course. Debs is illumi-
mated. He is advanced. Every Social
list we have ever seen imagines him
self possessed of a DEATH grip on all
the wisdom in the universe.
So Debs sneers at Christ as the
tramp of Gallee!" 1t is on par with
the utterances of other Socialistic
leaders. Heron. the American So
cialist who put away his wife and is
now living with another woman, some
time ago wrote "Christianity today
stands for what is lowest and basest
in life. To take on Christianity would
