Some of the congressional 'insur-
gents" appear to be so anxious to in
terpret any and all expressions of
opinion on the part of administration
men as efforts to read them out of
the party" that the conclusion will
not down that they are hunting for a
good excuse to get out of the party.

But later, when he grows a crop
OF verdure on his pate,
One syllable his parents drop.
And call him "Archie"-straight.
But now, alas hi. top is clean,
Like many other men
No hair adorns his noble bean
He's Archie bald" again!

Democratic leaders are not warm

of this party simply hate peace within

In the camp of Governor Stubs
there seems to be much bitterness ov-
er what Is termed the. ''ingratitude"
and "disloyalty'' of former Governor
Hoch in giving Mr.. Wagstaff such a
strong endorsement. On the other
hand it appears to be perfectly proper
to their own minds for the Kansas
'.insurgents' 20 be as disloyal as they

Cardinal Merry del Val said to Mr.
O'Laughlin:
"Can you guarantee that Mr.. Roose.
welt will not visit the Methodists here?
Mr.. O'Laughlin renIied: IT cannot In
deed, 1 believe that Mr.. Roosevelt is
just the man to go there. He will do as
he pleases."
'It is .indefensible." said the papal Sec
rotary. "for any person to be asked to
be received by a great parsonage whose
feelings he would be unwilling to re-
spect."
In the course of further conversation
the cardinal declared that no court in
Europe granted unrestricted audiences.
ROOSEVELT'S OWN RULE.
Mr.. Roosevelt himself" said the car
dinal, when he was president, declined
to receive persons Internationally at
the white house"
Without giving the name of the person,
the cardinal recalled a case where Presi-
dent Roosevelt having been enormously
informed that a certain person was visit
ing him by the authority of the vatican,
Immediately sent a cabinet officer to the
apostolic delegate at Washington to in
form the delegate that he could not re-
oeive this parsonage. but he meant no
discourtesy to the pope by his refusal.
The pontiff, when informed OF this, re-
piled:
II esteem President Roosevelt more
than ever"
Returning to the present incident Car
dinal del Val remarked:
QUESTION OF METHODISTS. 60
1T is not in any sense a question OF
religion. Mr.. Roosevelt might have gone
to an Episcopalian, a Presbyterian, or
any other church. except the Methodist,
,r,I H.
would have been received by the pope,
even in the same day. But he could NOT
b. received when it was suspected that
after the audience he intended to go
to the Methodist church in Rome. which
is carrying on a most offensive campaign
of calumny and detraction against the
pcntiff."
The papal secretary even recognized
Mr.. Roosevelts right to claim the privi-
lege of visiting the Methodists the day
after the audience on condition that he,
Merry del Val, receive private assur-
ances that he would not actually do so.
The vatican emphs sizes the statement
that it did not receive from the American
embassy any notification of Mr.. Rouse
veit's final message than an audience had
become impossible.
After being appraised of the contents or
the vaticans statement, it was explained
on Mr.. Roosevelts behalf that his final
message had not been communicated to
the vatican because Mgr. Kennedys sec
ond telegram was aif or the matter so
far as he was concerned, but that he
wished to keep the door open, not for his
own sake, but for the sake of the Cath
Ollie church I'm A~erica.
When Mr.. O'Laughlln came to Rome
it was with the distinct understanding
Il, 40 In, Mr ..
behalf. but i'm behalf of his co-religion-
lists in America. and that he did not
carry any authorization to subtract from
or add a word to Mr.. Roosevelt's position
as defined by his telegram from Mgr.
Kennedy.

on u continuation of Saturdays late covering
movement, and aggressive support from th-
southern bull leaders, which encouraged by
the firm showing of Liverpool Weather adj
vices were considered favorable, however, ami
after the first demand from shorts had been
supplied the market ehsed off from the best
und,r realizing and local bear pressure against
the new crop positions
The market was less active and rather irreg-
ular during the late forenoon Following the
initial advance prices sold off to net loss OF
about los points but at this level met sup
port from the New Orleans bull leaders and
toward midday rallied to shade over closing
figures OF Saturday with May relatively firm.
No fresh feature developed during the early
afternoon. Business continued quiet, with
prices rulinfg about to points net higher.
Southern spot markets officially reported ear
ly. were generally unchanged.
In the late trading spot houses and New Or
leans selling and renewed liquidation caused
prices to decline sharply and the market closed
weak at a net loss Of 10 to Is points.

Railroad Bill
G1ven 0ReSt

WASHINGTON, April 15.-The rail-
road bill was before the senate about
two and a half hours and was then
laid aside not to be taken up until
Monday. The avowed reason for the
postponement was the desire to have
printed an amendment to the provi-
sion permitting traffic agreements be-
tween railroads
The amendment was presented by
Senator Crawford and was a substi-
tute for a provision offered by Mr.
Elkins requiring the approval of
agreements by the Interstate COM
merce commission. Objection was
made to the Elkins provision that it
did not explicitly require the commits
sion's approval in advance of the ia
king effect on the agreements.
Mr.. Crawford stated his amendment
was intended to cover this defect. 1t
provides that agreements made sub
Ject to the approval of the interstate
commerce commission between COM
mon carriers, relating to the classifi-
