Explaining ROOscycIt-Va Vatican Incl
dent, American PrcIate Says the
Propaganda i'm Rome is Vile.

st. Paul, Mann, April 4.-Arch-
bishop Ireland, after reading the re-
port from Rome concerning the
Roosevelt-vatican incident, made a
statement which in part follows:
Before passing judgment on the
Roosevelt incident in Rome, one
should be thoroughly conversant with
all attending circumstances. OF one
thing / am certain-the Methodist
propaganda in Rome is so vile, so
caluminous in it's assaults upon the
Catholic faith; so dishonest in it's
methods to win prOselytes that the
Holy Father, the supreme guardian
of the faith, is compelled by the vital
principles of his high Office to avert
at all costs, the appearance of count
enancing it.

has struck blow for twentieth CEN

The representatives of two great
republics have been the ones to put
the vatican where it belongs. Presi-
dent Loubet refused to accede to vat
lean conditions and now Mr.. Fair
banks and Mr.. Roosevelt come to
maintain the dignity and independ-
ence of American manhood in face of
vatican tyranny.
1.-THE vatican is incompatible with
Republican principles. This is a bitter
dose for patriotic Catholics in Ameri-
ca to swallow. I wonder how many
doses of this sort they will take be-
fore the revult? Is Catholicism in
America to be American or Romish {?
If Romish, then patriotic Americans
should rise to crush it, for Roman
Catholicism is the uncompromising
foe of freedom.
After the Fairbanks episode the
Methodists never dreamed that the
vatican would commit a similar blum
der with Mr.. Roosevelt That it has
done so is added proof that the pol
icy prevailing there is the same yes
terday, today and forever. The vati-
can is the vatican. The world ad-
vances but the vatican never.

Manchester, Eng, April 4.-The
half yearly report of the International
Cotton Federation states that the Wis
iblo supply of cotton is 100000
bales less than in March, 1909. This
fact, however, it is pointed out, need
not cause alarm, because of the

the tendency in most countries Is to
spin finer counts, thus using less cot

Columbia, April 4.-Gen. Willie
Jones. of this city, for the last twelve
years State Democratic chairman, au-
thorized the statement today that If
he is reelected. he will gladly serve
the party in South Carolina. While
Gen. Jones is not what might be call
ed a candidate, he will bow to the
will of the new committee, and If the
members wish him to continue to
serve he will do so, and If they do
not he will just as gladly relinquish
the position to someone else.
Gen. Jones has servd as secretary
treasurer and chairman of the Dem
ocratic committee for the last 2S
years. In 1882 he was elected secre-
tary. and since 1898 he has served as
chairman. incidentally. 1t might be
stated. that there is great deal of
work. but the pay is not Forthcoming.
The reason Gen. Jones was asked
this morning by The News and Cour-
Ter correspondent If he would be a
candidate is that persistent rumors
have been circulated recently that he
would not again serve. Gen. Jones
very frankly stated that he would
serve If the executive committee, by
which the chairman Is elected, want
him as chairman.-News and Courier.

ROOSEVELTS GUESTS OF KING.

Rome, April 4.-Twice today Theo-

warmth, and they talked together for
nearly an hour. This evening there
was a grand dinner at the palace, CIV

Great preparations have been going
on for this event, and the Queen her
self directed all the arrangements, de-

After his meeting with the King he
visited the Pantheon, where he was
the object of popular demonstra-
ton. He lunched with Ambassador
Leishman and received the Italian
Journalists in the afternoon.
Tomorrow he will be less busy. In
the morning he will drive with the
King and will probably spend the af-
ternoon sightseeing. He will be the
guest Of the British ambassador at
dinner in the evening. The Vatican
incident, which has aroused consid-
cradle bitter comment in the news
papers. has made Mr.. Roosevelt the
subject of intense popular interest,
and a crowd is constantly before the
hotel, where he is staying awaiting a
chance to get glimpse of him.

Albany, ". Y, April 4.-Rising to

Exactly With That of Roosevelt He
Runs the Risk of Being Elected to
The Ananias Club.
Rome, April 4.-Now that Mr..
Roosevelt has made public the docu-
ments which the vatican had consid-
cred confidential, Cardinal Merry del
Val, papal secretary of state, wishes
the entire history of the negotiations
for the audience which the former
president sought Of Pope Plus to be
known.
Cardinal Merry del Val is credited
with the responsibility for the vati-
cans part in the matter and the fol-
lowing may be accepted as his ver-
sion:
Following the exchanges between
Mgr. Kennedy and American Ambas-
sador Leichman and Mr.. Roosevelts
decision not to be received under the
terms imposed, John Callan O'Lough-
lin, who was assistant secretary of
state in 1909 and a personal friend
of Mr.. Roosevelt, called upon Cardi-
nal Merry del VAL bearing an intro
duction from Mgr. Falconio, apostolic
delgate in the United States. Imme-
diately after being introduced to the
presence of the cardinal, Mr..
O'Loughlin said:
I do not come in the name of Mr..
Roosevelt, but on my own account, as
an American Catholic
Cardinal Merry del Val said Then
what are we here for. 1t is useless to
discuss the matter. If you do not
represent Mr.. Roosevelt, you can not
make any arrangement or speak for
him."
Mr.. O'Loughlin replied:
What 1 consider important is to
tell your eminence that If the two
dispatches sent by Mgr. Kennedy are
retracted I can assure you that Mr..
Roosevelt will accept an audience"
Cardinal Merry del Val said: 4
will not discuss Mr.. Roosevelt's right,
but give me confidential assurance
that de facto, Mr.. Roosevelt will not
go to the Methodists and the audience
will occur
"Mr. O'Loughlin refused to give
this assurance. The cordinal then
said:
Mr.. Roosevelt is free to go to the
Methodists and do whatever
he chooses, but the pontiff is
certainly free not to receive
man who would claim the
right to insult, on the day after hav-
ing been received by him, or perhaps
on the same day, as, according to
your statement, he may leave Rome
on the same day of the papal au-
dience, thus having only between non
and evening Tuesday in which to see
the Methodists.'
1T is of little consequence whether
he is a Catholic, Protestant, proselyte
or Buddhist. All religious persons
merit the same esteem. The import
ant thing is to be honest and sincere
SO far as the form of belief is con-
cerned, l believe that all honest peo-
pie will be always on good terms with
God"
The determination Of Mr.. Rooose-
welt to forego an audience with Pope
Plus, in which, rather than subscribe
to the conditions imposed by the vati-
can, has created a sensation This
unfortunate and unexpected incident
overshadows every other feature of
the distinguished American in his
visit to the Eternal City. 1t would
appear today that so far as the vati-
can and Mr.. Roosevelt are concern
ed, the incident is closed.
