MINISTER'S PRAISE
COLONEL'S ATTITUDE

WASHINGTON, April 4.--Protest.
ant ministers here generally endorse
the action of ex-President Roosevelt
in declining to accept the terms laid
down by the Vatican for his requested
audience with the Pope.
Mgr Falcania, the papal delegate
said that as he had not received any
official advice regarding the incident
1t was obviously impossible for him
to make any comment.
Following are views of some of the
Protestant clergy:

form church, who was Col. Roosevelt
pastor in Washington--'I know MT

The building fund In cash and sub

the full sum desired will be raised
before completion OF the structure.

ENGLAND PREDICTS
INJURY TO CATHOLICISM

LONDON, April 4.-The consensus
of opinion In England. where HOSTILE
ties to the Pope Is more or less gem
erai. Is that the Roosevelt Vatican
affair will work an injury TO Catholic
ism the world over, particularly in
America.
Almost without exception. public
expressions on the incident, including
those of the press, warmly commend
Mr.. Roosevelt's stand.
The hope is expressed here that the
refusal of both Fairbanks and Roose-
welt to submit to what they believed
to be unwarranted dfctation as the
condition of their visit to the Vatican
will be followed by other foreigners
of prominence who visit Rome, and
Will serve as the entering wedge to
an abolition of the restrictions now
imposed by the Vatican.

Writes Unsigned Articles.

Postmaster Il. Harvey Drake writes
an article entitled "the secret is OUT
and has it published in last week 8
Record. His argument for the return
of McMorran to congress is that all
of the newspaper publishers of the
seventh district who are supporting
Cramton for Congress are doing so be-
cause they have been promised the
postotfices in their several towns and
cities Isn't that hefty argument for
the return of McMorran, to keep those
poor newspaper publishers out of the
postoffices ?
Nearly every resident of this neck'o
the woods is aware that "his nobs" who
writes unsigned articles for the news
papers has roamed around the country
and Topped from one political party to
another for no other reason than to
get an office.
Every "blooming whooper" of these
"weekly newspaper" men that the post
master alludes to are men, every inch
of them-not tw0-legged, two-faced
leeches roaming from one political
party to another-and have put in the
best part of their lives working for the
upbuilding of their home towns. Such
men we give credit of having opinions
of their own and not publishing some
one else's opinion for the dough"
there is in it,
Get right down to brass tacks and
tell the people what McMorran has
done to make him so popular and en-
titles him to. be returned to a $500
job at Washington Surely it doesn't
rest entirely in his handing in to the
president recommendation for brakes
reappointment to the Yale postoflice.
