AN ATTACHMENT
Of Roosevelt by Archbishop
VIM, H. 0'Conne|L
Says His Action in Not VISIT
ing The Pope Was Insulting
And Violation Of His Own princi-
pie, the square DEAL"

Lowell, Mass, May l-Theodore
Roosevelt's action in not meeting Pope
Plus x on the former Presidents re-
ing and a violation of Mr.. Roosevelt
principle of the Square DEAL" by
Most Rev. William H. O'Connell, arch
bishop of Boston, at a meeting OF the
American Federation of Catholic So
cieties in this city today. John Callan
O'Laughlin, former assistant secre-
tarv of state, who conducted the nego-
tiations between Mr.. Roosevelt and the
Vatican. was severely castigated by
the archbishop. who declared that Mr..
O'Laughln had played the part of
Judas
1T is case of Mr.. John Callan
O'Laughlin,' declared the archbish-
OPP. who is he? He says he is a Cath
oiic and he boasts of it, and in the
same breath he cables all over the
wrong and Mr.. Roosevelt is the great
est thing in creation. That is the sort
of a Catholic that we are ashamed of,
Mr.. John OI.aughlin.'
In bringing up the Vatican incident
the arcnblShOp said:
"And now let me illustrate by an in
cident that happened only short time
ago and which now unfortunately has
become famous. l refer to the Roose-
welt incident. Here is precisely a case
in point of lack of loyalty and very
fine exhibition of perfect loyalty. In
what l am going to say | have abso
lutely no personal feeling about Mr..
Roosevelt nor any political feeling.
Personally know Mr.. Roosevelt quite
well. and until very short time ago
had good deal of friendly feeling to-
ward him. Therefore there can be no
question of any personal sentiment in
what ] am going to say. Politically |
have absolutely no feeling for him.
1t does not concern me. | wish TO state
that because that must be understood.
l am talking upon the thing as an alb
stract principle. If the one who did it
was of a high position so much the
worse for him, because people in high
stations must be careful in what they
do. The facts are simply these:
'"The Vatican is the oldest court-at
least the oldest court in the world by
right of tradition and history. 1t is
the most noble and honorable court in
the world. 1t has been honored by dig
nitaries of all the world and it has in
fuenced all Western civilizations to
such degree that it really has form
ed nations. The head of an institution
such as this cannot be ignored. This
is too tremendously obvious, it cannot
be passed by, and nobody ever at
tempts to pass it by.

though it made only small concession.
The opposing attorneys argued the
question and threw some additional
light on the controversy.
Mr.. Vertrees charged there was a
conspiracy afoot against other advis-
ers than Mr.. Ballinger Of President
who happened to be distasteful to the
conspirators. He intimated that ex-
Secretary Garfield and former Forester
Pinchot were the chief conspirators.
For the first time, Mr.. Brandeis OPEN
ly stated his belief that the attorney
general ante-dated his summary with
the idea of making that appear prop
err which was not proper when DONE"
He had reference to the dismissal Of
his client, Mr.. CLAWS, by the President
on Seniptember 10, last, and was hint
ing that the attorney general, months
after that date, drew up the summary
in an effort to justify an error Of the
President and in order to make the
deception complete. dated 1t two days
before the Presidents action was taken.

IA Securities Markets Due
To Several Causes.
General Trade Outlook Is Far
From Satisfactory.
mi, Condition Results In Usual
Slow Bond Demand.

New York, May IA number of adj
yerse factors of q special kind con-
,.arved on the securities market last
week which served to crystalize a
s,ecnlative feeling of depression which
had teen growing up for some time
ond 10 force a precipitate decline in
,r;ces. The influence of these factors
roe held in allegiance until after the
dividend on United States Steel had
hoen raised to q per cent. basis to
coo whether that action would serve to
.neta;n the market and ward off the
threatened pressure. When it was seen
tho+ selling of United States Steel in
creased rather than diminished after
tho raising of the dividend, the spec
ulstiye tone turned conclusively to
,ne side of depression. The inefficiency
of the United States Steel dividend ac-
tion to cause buying of the stock was
due to skepticism towards the official
claims for bright prospects for the
trade.
Dissatisfaction with the general
trade outlook has been gaining force
In the financial district for some time.
The high prices of commodities make
the central factor around which this
feeling gathers. To these are ascribed
the lack of demand in various direc-
tons, conspicuous in the case of the
shrunken agricultural exports and the
curtailment of cotton mill production.
Enlarged requirements for money in
eftecting exchanges at the higher
prices are involved. Heavy credit ia
cllities are tied up in the holding OF
commodities out of the market for
high prices. A greatly expanded loan
account by the banks is due to this
cause and to farm land purchasers and
to irrigation projects.
This condition is responsible for the
anathetic demand for bonds and has
even induced some return of foreign
holdings OF our securities to increase
the burden on the financial markets.
The existance Of the cXigencies in cot
ton speculation served to divert cred
it's into that market The consequences
was the heavy burden of liquidation,
thrown upon the stock market. which
broke prices and begOt an appearance
Of semi decentralization during Thurs
days session.
Another unfavorable factor that had
to be digested was the damage wrought
to the crops by the unreasonable cold
wave. The conflicting views on this
point had much to do with the irreg-
ular fluctuations of stocks early in
the week. The differences of opinion
were over the degree and not as to the
fact Of the harm done, the matter con-
shutting a substantial factor of de-
preston.

History repeated itself. The Demo-
cratic platform denounced the Car
ism Of the Speaker, just as the Demo-
cratic platform did in 1890. The min
ority had demanded legislation for
special interests not for the general
interest.
There are other special interests
demanding that sthe Speaker use ar
bitrary power in their behalf When
he refused to violate the rules and
traditions of the House he was de-
nounced as a Gar"
In discussing the criticism of General
Grant during his administration as
President. Speaker Cannon found a
parallel in the attacks on the present
administration and inferred that this
administration would overcome all at
lacks as triumphantly as did Grant
I'm his memoirs,' the Speaker re-
called, Grant tells of an incident in
his campaign in Texas. where. one
night, the camp was disturbed by an
unearthly noise that had a panicky
effect on the soldiers and caused some
uneasiness among the officers. A squad
was detailed to make a reconnaissance
They stealthily moved in the direction
from which the sounds came and as
the men rounded butte they discover
ed two coyotes on little hilloeks en-
gagged in a serenade.
THE noise made by the Liberal and
Democratic press against Grant was a
fitting parallel to that episode in his
early life. 1t did not brighten him nor
the Republican rank and file who march
ed to the polls with the same deter
mination they had four years before
and 100000 more Of them dropped Re
publican ballots into the boxes.
Speaking of the present tariff law.
Mr. Cannon said:
The tariff act Of 1909 is not perfect
any more than was the numerous tar
lff acts that preceded it. and probably
no better adapted to the conditions
today than they were to the conditions
which they were designed to meet
But the worth of the new law is to be
measured by the conditions of indus
try and business since it's enactment.
We had unemployed men, we had idle
freight cars, We had much uncertainty
IN many lines of business, and we had
large detci. in the federal treasury
ment of the Payne law this had all
changed We now have full employ
ment, no idle cars, and the revenues
are again ample to meet the expendi-
lures of the government.

The Midd|esex Club
On Anniversary Of Birth Of

Stands by House Rules and Throws
Hot Shot at Insurgents.

Boston, May 1-"When we have to
change the rules of the House to per-
nit the minority to dictate legislation
in behalf of special interests, we will
be confronted with the necessity of
changing our constitution and all our
conceptions of peoples government
where the majority shall legislate and

ton"
Speaker Joseph G.. Cannon of the
House of Representatives mad the
fore going declaration Saturday night
in addressing the Middlesex Club on
the occasion of a celebration of the
SSth anniversary of the birth of Cen
eral Grant
Speaker Cannon, after delivering eu-
logy upon the life of the great Amerl-
can general and former President, an
nouhced that he had been asked to
say a word about the rules of the
House, latter the ocean of words that
have been hurled at the rules in the
last two years"
.Thomas r. Reed once said" the

by a small but loud minority in the
wrong is too often mistaken for the
voice of the people and the voice OF
God MN N fs
THAT remark applies to the discus
sion of the rules"
The Speaker said that the rules were
the development of 120 years. that thew
were substantially as they had been
for generation; that campalsl
against the rules made 20 years ago
brought out all the denunciation made
within the last two years. and that
on the former occasion it was the
| loud minority" trying to dictate leg
islatiOn.
.The Democrats were in the minority
in the 51st Congress" he said, but they
ltried to dictate legislation. Speaker
Reed and the majority who were re-
sponsible for legislation refused to be
dictated to- Reed counted quorum
OF those who We're present for mischle
but declared they were not present FOL
business. That action of Reed was de-
nounced as 'czarism.' The discussion
became International but the supreme
court sustained Reed and so ana th'
Democratic party when it came int
| power. 1t adopted what it had de-
nounced as the Reed rules.
| why this fuss and fury? The OLE
cause, the effort of the minority t.
rule. On the eve of the last Presi
Dental election the Democratic leade
sought to dictate legislation. The ma
jority would not accept dictation. HI
began a filibuster which continued t
the end of the session, frankly statin'
on the floor that the majority woul'
resist and embarrass in every way pos
sible all legislation unless certain
measures demanded by the minorit,
lshould be brought forward.

Graphaphonic Love

A charming couple, they both live here in town, and almost every evening at the graphophone they're found. Neither one has purile mo- tions-he's thirty-five they say; she is past her teens, but her correct age we hesitate to say. Sentimental music, yes, that's what they love to play; viz, sweetheart dearest, you'll be mine some day. For hours at time, they stand there and com mune, reflections from each others face-the sentiment of the tune. Happy in each others love, beside the graphophone, it's often past the 9 p. m. before they think of home. As if parting with cherished hope, reluctantly they leave. but if you chance to be around, you'll find them there next eve.
