FROM business source the lnfor-
nation is brought 10 New York that
there is a change OF sentiment toward
Roosevelt in progress among the
small merchants and their employees.
Big moneyed interests and business
interests have passed the word down
the line that Roosevelt is behind Slim
son, that Roosevelt menaces business
and that hard times are coming. The
clerks are being told not to expect
any raises" of salary if Roosevelt
wins. 1t is reported that this kind OF
talk is having its effect on the east
side. Many of the prominent mer-
chants are against Roosevelt and Slim
son and they are urging their hum
bier brethren to be cautious. 1t IS
most remarkable that one hears very
little talk of the real candidate; they
always talk as if Roosevelt were the
candidate, and it is not a question OF
beating Stimson, but of beating Roose-
welt. 1t is perfectly evident that a
great many republicans are afraid Of
Roosevelt and will vote against Slim
son as a means OF heading off Roose-
velt's progress toward the republican
national convention OF 1912.

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
MONDAY EVENING, OCT. 10

In furtherance OF its announced
policy to separate the church and state,
and expel religious orders fromPortugal,
the new republican government is ar
resting monks and nuns by the whole
sale. The greatest problem confronting
the government, however, is where TO
send the exiled churchmen and women
Inasmuch as Spain declines to receive
them, it will be necessary for the GOV
eminent 10 find some oversee nation
that will permit the landing OF ship
loads OF penniless clericals Up to date
no country has volunteered the thou
sands refuge. The authorities are
confscating church property in the
name OF the state as fast as the inmates
are removed by the soldiers, but have
proven powerless thus far to prevent
considerable looting OF movable
yaluables by soldiers and hangers-on.
Priests and nuns are being submitted
to many indignities, and it is reported
that a number OF them have been slain
in various parts of the new republic.
None is being excepted under the order
OF expulsion. The Marquis de Pombal,
head Of the Jesuits in Portugal and
leader OF the clerical party, is under
arrest. The sacking Of many the
converts and monasteries has hech ac-
companied by vandalism and sacrilege.
Sacred images, rare vestments and costly
pictures have been destroyed by men
who chant mock masses and deliver
obscene sermons in the pulpits. II
looks like Christians are about TO re-
turn to conditions that existed under
the Cesaers, when disciples were
strangers and pilgrims upon the earth.
