METHODISM
UNDER FIRE
Fairbanks Incident at Vatican In
spires Editorial Denouncing
Religious Proselyting.
WEEKLY REVIEW SAYS

Rome. Feb. 12-The Weekly Re
view. Rome. the organ of English
speaking Catholics, today publishes a
long editorial on Charles w. Fair
banks, former vice president of the
United States which is believed to
have been inspired by the Vatican.
The editorial says:

strong party man in politics, his
devotion to party does not make him
desire the disappearance of all parties
but his own and he has the same the
ory with regard TO religion. He is a
Methodist but he has no wish that
MethodIsm should be the only religion
in America
"Mr. Fairbanks Is type Of millions

Catholic church and believing that 1t
makes little difference what q mans
religion is provided he does his best
TO live UP to It,"

man may pass his whole life working
in the Vatican archives and CALLER

to whether he Is Turk or an ATHEIST
He may even be diplomatic repre-
sentative OF the Vatican without be-
ing Catholic.
But even the all-embracing liberty
of the Vatican" continued the Re-
view, cannot include the Methodist
organization, which entered Rome
through the breach made September
20. 1870, with Garibaldfs red shirts.
Many animosities have resulted, but
they have made no change In the spir-
it or the system OF the MothodiSts.
Their organization does not minister
to the wants OF visiting Methodists
here but it is directed toward pervert-
ing the faith OF the people,
mot only that, but the Methodists
have always been bitterly and avowed-
ly antl-papal, eagerly welcoming ev-
cry opportunity TO discharge venom
against Catholicism. Statistics. COM
piled by themselves. show that the
cost of making q single Roman
Methodist averages seven thousand
franks (s1.400.)
In the last forty years they have
spent twelve millions in this unholy
work of proselyting Catholics, espec-
tally Catholic children.
Mr.. Fairbanks did not know these
facts or be would not have given his
promise to speak in the Methodist
church twenty-four hours before the
time fixed for his audience with the
pope. Otherwise he would have un-
derstood how incompatible was his
public appearance in this hot-bed of
anti-Catholic proselytism and anti-pa~
pal bitterness with an audience with
the pope"

TALE D|SPLEASES
CHIEF OF POLICE
Article Regarding Sale of Cocaine
Alleged to Contain Many
Misstatements.

Anent the discussion going on about
cocaine and other drugs being sold to
young men and boys in Ogden. caused
by the arrest of prominent physician
a few days ago, Chief of Police Brown
ing yesterday informed an Examiner
representative that he is much in
censed over the article which ap-
peared IN one of the Salt Lake after
noon papers of Friday.
Chief Browning said that the article
which called forth his indignation was
apparently written by some one who
knew nothing at all concerning the
real situation or the fight against CO.
caine in this city. The statement was
made that the chief had expressed his
intention OF stopping the practice OF
selling these drugs TO young men on
forged prescriptions if he had to ar
rest every physician and druggist IN
the city" u certainly made no such
statements" said the chief yesterday,
while the first part Of it was all
right, about stopping the practice, the
fact that | am quoted as saying l
would, II necessary, arrest every physi-
clan and druggist in the city seems TO
me rather overdrawn, and as tending
to Infer that every physician and drug
gist in ogden Is either guilty or sus-
pected of this crime. Such Is far from
being the true state Of affuirs' as
every one knows said the chie1.
"There may be number OF physicians
and druggists In this city who are
breaking the laws and ordinances In
this respect, but l have never even
inferred that all were concerned IN
this matter. The statements in the
Salt Lake paper were not only ridicu.
lous. but utterly without foundation

Corps Promises Biggest
Hop" on Record.

Active preparations for the annual
hop OF the Cadet Corps of the Ogden
high school have been under way
for several days and from present in
dlcations the affair this year prom
ises to be q greater success than ever
before In the history of the corps.
Yesterday a number OF the cadets
spent the entire day playing messeu-
ger boys and delivering the invita-
tons to the hop, which is set for
February 21, and which win be held
in the assembly hall at the high
school. More than 500 invitations
were delivered by the cadets among
the society folk of the city and the
alumni of the high school
1t is expected that the parents OF
the cadets will all be there and the
parents OF the high school students
are also expected TO attend In force.
According to the committee which has
been appointed on arrangements,
headed by w. F. Kreass. commander
of the corps. and consisting mostly OF
officers and non-commissioned OIL
GERS of the corps, the hop this year
will surpass anything before attempt
ed by the Ogden institution.
The cadets are displaying more
than the usual amount of interest in
the affair this year. and for some time
have been drilling assiduously in the
endeavor to become perfect In the
various and intricate drills which Will
be the main feature OF the hop on
February 81. The primary object OF
the affair is for the purpose OF raising
funds to enable the corps to arrange
for a summer encampment. Should
this encampment prove a success and
the boys get away. they Will probably
have several competition drills with
the corps OF the Salt Lake high
school and the officers Of the local
corps are confident OF coming out
with flying colors should they meet
the Salt Lake boys.
