FAIRBANKS IN ROME.

EX-Vicc President Charles w. Fair
banks was told that the Pope could
not receive him, as promised. IL he car
rled out his intention of speaking in
tho American Methodist church, at

dists have been active in proselyting

stood. OH the question OF religious toll
GRANGE, two thousand years ago.
Pagan Rome had religious tolerance.
TO a very limited extent. But II would
not permit the Jews. for instance, to
preach their religion among the Roman
pagans And as for the Nazarenes,
they were considered neither Jews nor
pagans. and therefore had no religious
rights. That the Roman church has
remained SO far behind In the progress
toward the liberation OF man from old
prejudiccs is matter OF regret Nor IS
II entirely without cause for apprehen-
sion for the future. For the question
naturally arises. what would become OF
lilsil WnlCn mas DSen gained uuIlnS t1s
long centuries. through innumcraible
sacrifices. II the Roman Wow on toler-
ance and religious courtesy should
again become pcvalent? 1t is only
through hard effort that freedom has
been gained. The descent would BIO
both easy and swift.
AS We understand 1t, Rome is par
ticularly severe against Protestants
Her view is that the Reformation was
apostasy inspired by the evil ono. The
hope of Rome IS that the state may
some time become convinced of the
business OF the doctrine of non-toler-
ance and adopt that policy. This Is
entirely contrary to the American idea
of non-union of church and state. 1t Is
a wonder that the diplomatic counselors
of his holiness did not make somo
allowance for this difference, on
this occasion. but that they en-
phasdzed tine Roman attitude Was this
by design? Or, was 1t merely an acci
dent?

AS an illustration, 1t is we'll known
that any form of gambling on a large
scale is ruinous to the legitimate
business OF any community in which

other business men OF Nice have di-
rccted a petition TO the French pre-

particular form OF evil. and 1t may
be set down as a fact that the petit

street, in Warrenton. April n 1909

Misses Agnes Strothcr and Selma

testify, were examined yesterday.
They told of the vile language directed
TO Harris by Thompson at the Warren

Thompson was shot.
Harris then took the stand in his
own defense. He spoke in detail of
the abuse hcaped upon him by Thomp-
son from the time Of the personal
encounter between the two men in
September, 1908, to the day on which
Thompson was shot. He said that
he was walking down the street with
Mason Strother on the evening of the
tragedy. They were overtaken by
Thompson, who, while talking to
Strothcr, directed vile cpithet at the
accused.

Harris, and started 10 cross the

two shots down TO the ground, hoping
TO scare him. He, however, continued
to maui me, and I then leveled the
pistol at his body and fired. | had to
