President Taft Kissed at Suffraglsts
Convention.

An unfortunate episode occurred in the
convention Of the National American
Woman Suffrage association in Washing
ton Thursday night President Taft
who was the guest Of honor. had frankly
told the women that he was not alto
gether in sympathy with the suffragist
movement and was explaining why he
could not subscribe fully to its principles
He said he thought one of the dangers
in suffrage for women was that women
as whole were not interested in it, and
that the power OF the ballot, as far as
woman was concerned, would be con-
trolled by the less desirable class"
This remark was greeted with a chorus
of Kisses. President Taft stood unmoved
during the demonstration and then smil-
ingly rebuked the audience in these
words: Now, my dear ladies, you must
show yourselves capable OF suffrage by
exercising that degree OF restraint which
is necessary in the conduct Of govern
ment affairs. by not kissing"
The Presidents reply apparently took
instant effect. There were no more
Kisses while the President continued his
address, which he characterized as my
confession" on the woman suffrage ques-
ton. At the conclusion OF his talk he
was enthusiastically applauded and some
OF the leaders of the convention ex-
pressed to him their sincere regret over
the unpleasant incident.
The leading officers OF the association
were greatly disturbed over the insult
offered to the President and a resolution
stating that the women were pleased
with the Presidents honesty and serious
ness, and thanking him for his welcome
was adopted unanimously by a rising
vote. The President gracefully acknowl-
edged the resolution and stated that the
subject gave him no personal feeling.

IN OUR OWN STATE
CONSIDERATION OF BISHOP RICE
Impressive Ceremonies Witnessed by
1900 People In Burlnaton-Youngest
Bishop In the Country.

Impressive Ceremonies Witnessed by
1900 People in urllnetOn-Youneest
Bishop in the Country.
Rev. Joseph Johne Rice, who, on
Thursday, April IA, in the city of Bur
lngton, was consecrated bishop OF the
diocese of Burlington, is said to be the
youngest Roman Catholic bishop in this
country. The solemn and impressive
conservation service was carried out in
the presence of fully 1900 persons. Clergy
and laity, Catholics and Protestants
alike, were in the Immaculate Concep-
ton church, and the throng within was
only small fraction of the thousands
who sought admission. Seated in the
front of the auditorium and within the
altar was nearly all of the five score
priests of the diocese and an equal num-
Der Of visiting divines. Bishop Beaver of
Springfield, Mass, was the consecrator,
and Right Rev. Daniel +. Feehan of Fall
River, Mass, was the preacher. About
40 other clergymen assisted in the solemn
ponttcal high mass. The splendor of the
service was greatly enhanced by the choir
music. The so singers from the combined
chodrs Of St. Mary's and ST. Joseph's
churches were assisted by Waterman's
full orchestra.
Bishop Joseph ]. Rice, third bishop of
Burlington, assumes the responsibilities
OF his office at the age Of 3S. He Is a ma
tive of Leicester, Mass, a graduate of
the academy in that town and of Holy
Cross college in Worcester. He studied
theology at Grand seminary in Montreal
and after his graduation was ordained
priest by Bishop Beaver In Spring.
heldi Mass, After his ordination he stud
led three years In Rome and there re-
ceived the degree of doctor Of divinity.
AS a priest his parishes were in Port
land, Maine, and Pittsfeld, Fitchburg,
Oxford andn Northbridge, Mass. He has
been in Northbridge the last six years,
and while there he built a church valued
at $4,000 and a rectory.
He is reckoned an able financier and
profound student and these qualifca-
tons, with his inclination to Romanism,
have been largely instrumental in estab-
fishing him in his present high position.
The following cablegram was received
from Rome:
''Rt Rev. Bishop Rice
Our most holy father rejoices exceed
ingly in the deep and filial submission, so
reverently manifested toward him on the
occasion of your episcopal conservation
From the fullness of his heart he bestows
upon yourself, your clergy and the faith
full of your diocese, the apostolic bene-
diction humbly petitioned
