The piece bears internal evidence
of being dispatch from Rome.
Henry Frank, who has been 1ectur-
ing in Cleveland, clips and forwards
it with the comment:
"Apropos of your editorial on Taft
and the Pope, I ran across the in
closed in the Catholic Universe.
Manifestly in the circles of Catholi-
cism there is distinct understand
ing Of the close relation between our
Government and the Vatican Taft
says he received only a cablegram
from the Pope, inquiring about Butt,
etc, but this article in the Universe
distinctly asserts that the Pope sent
long, detailed letter, evidently re-
ferring to matters never made pub
lie. Besides, note the delight with
which the article dwells on the fact
that Butt called only at the Vatican
and avoided the Quirinal Here in
deed is food for thought. 1t ought
to be an eye-opener to Indifferent
Americans who are supinely suffer-
ing their soulless politicians to I'M

President Taft cannot say that the
article in the Catholic paper is the
work of an enemy5 rather it's publ

THE PRESIDENTS FOOL
FRIENDS.
The
Journal.

In his published statement dis
claiming undue intimacy with the
Roman Catholic church, President
Taft (Truth Seeker, May 25) denied
that any letters passed between him.
self and the Pope, as reported, by
the way OF Major Butt, touching on
Catholic affairs. The President, in
dealing with the report and accusa-
tions Of a similar nature, character
ICES them as ''insidious methods of
attack" pursued against" him, OBJ
viously by those who wished to in
jure him. On all sides he found
evidence that there is a conspiracy
for the purpose of arousing religious
prejudice against me- The implica-
ton is that only Mr.. Taft's enemies
have circulated the stories of his ex-
changes of complimentary passages
with the Pope through Major Butt.
How, then, account for the appear
ance of the following in the Catholic
Universe, an influential and author
lied church journal published in
Cleveland, Ohio:
"The Pope has written long au-
tograph letter to President Taft and
has given it to Major Archibald w.
Butt to be delivered personally to
the President The letter warmly
thanks the President for sending his
personal aide to the Vatican and as
sures him that the visit was highly
appreciated.
"The letter further refers to the
development Of Catholicism and I'M
interrupted relations between the
Vatican and the United States,
which he is convinced will continue
through this and future administra-
tions. 1t alludes to President Taft's
work in connection with the settle
ment of the Philippine church prop
erty question and concludes with
cordial expression Of good wishes.
Although Major Butts visit has
been attributed to i'll health it is
we'll known that he came to Rome to
see the Pope and to deliver a letter
from President Taft to him. Major
Butt was furnished by the President
with credentials to Cardinals Merry
del Val and Rampolla and number
Of other influential prelates. Thus
an audience was arranged without
the slightest trouble. Major Butt
ahstained from seeing the king and
had no communication of any kind
with the Quirinal." @

The writer sees no reason why
these gentlemen should not make
known to the public their attitude
on this important question. 1t is
not new, and is one that every man
qualified to be President ought to be
familiar with and have an opinion
about. AS telegraphers we think we
have a right to know and take this
method Of finding out.
Postmaster-General Hitchcock S
recommendation in his last annual
report recommended that the govern
ment take over the telegraphs under
the act of 1866 which provides that
the government may at any time pur-
chase telegraph lines at an appraised
valuation to be decided upon by rep
resentatives selected by the govern
ment and the companies. The teIe-
graph companies themselves accepted
the conditions of the act.
ing former postmasters- general, have
preceded Mr. Hitchcock in endorsing
this action.
In the late sos and early COS over
two million people voted for and Pc
titioned Congress to act and take
over the telegraphs. But the Trust
was more powerful than they were.
1t remains to be seen whether the
Telegraph Trust still has more
power and influence with Congress
than the millions Of people who
favor this progressive legislation.
The history of the telegraph is
marked by enormous profits and dis
graceful stock watering and stock
jobbing; the public has been mulcted
by high rates for poor service, while
the telegraphers' portion has ever
been poor pay and long hours, en-
forced by policy of brutal repres-
sion of every effort made by en-
ployees to improve their working
conditions, the better to cope with
the constant combination and con-
centration of capital on the part of
their employers. This policy has
caused three general strikes since
1890 and will cause another unless
soon remedied.
The advent of the giant Bell tele-
phone monopoly into control of the
telegraph, with it's Sc per week girls
in every large city (and per cent
dividends) has not changed this re-
pressive policy nor has it assured
telegraphers that trusting to corpo-
rate beneVolence is better than col
lectiye bargaining for the permanent
Improvement of their working condi-
tons.
The Titanic disaster was an i'm
presslVe demonstration Of the chaos
and inefficiency in the wireless teIe-
graph under private ownership, and
the spectacle OF the President of the
United States poWerIess to secure in
formation, baked by selfish interests,
corporate and privat, is still frsh in
tn minds of the people. These events
have given added strength and i'm
petus to the demand for government
ownership of the telegraphs, includ-
ing the wireless. Incidentally, a lit
tie investigation by the government
might disclose that even now the
telephone and telegraph trust is
busy seeking control Of the wireless
branch in anticipation of possible
government purchase, or preparing
for whatever results the investiga-
ton of this great disaster may bring
forth

Mysterious Disappearance.

While at Buffalo last Monday morn
ing Osborn Phelps mysteriously disap.
peared from Gus Smith and Jas. Rose
whom he accompanied to that city on
Saturday evening last. When the par.
ty reached Buffalo Sunday evening
Osborn, not feeling very well, retired
early. In the morning he arose rather
late and ate no breakfast. His two
companions invited him to take walk
over to where Ed Sheehy was stopping
and also over to the stock yards but he
declined the invitation saying that he
did not feel well enough TO make the
trip. On their return to the hotel at
which the party put up, Osborn was
not to be found, and upon inquiry It
was learned that he had paid his hotel
bill and departed, leaving no word
whatever. When ready to start for
home Osborn had not shown up yet. 1t
was thought that, not feeling very well
he altogether likely had boarded an
earlier train for home.
On reaching here it was learned that
he had not returned and at once sus-
picion arose that some mIshap must
have befallen him. Mr.. Smith at once
telegraphed the chief of police of that
city to be on the lookout for such a
person and left on the first train for
there to search for him.
Osborn is young man about twenty
five years of age. Is the son of the
widow Phelps and has several brothers
and sisters all of whom are terribly
worried about his whereabouts. There
is no reason known why he should leave
without notice therefore the only con.
clusion that his friends can arrive at
is he has met with some mishap. 1t is
earnestly hoped that he is found and
no harm has come to him.
Later-The young man has been To-
Gated in hospital at Philadelphia and
his brother Othello of Detroit started
at once for that city to learn in what
condition he is in and if possible bring
him home,

ing. Mr.. Ballentine was born at Mill
town, Maine, March 2S, 1853. At an
early age he came with his parents to
Michigan and settled in the township
of Brockway. He was married to Miss
Matte +. Hanna in 1875 and came to
Port Huron the following year.
Mr.. Ballentine had been engaged in
various business enterprises in this city.
About two years ago he retired owing
to failing health. Since the death of
his wife, which occurred about four
months ago. he had failed rapidly. Mr..
Ballentine had a wide circle of friends
who had been attracted to him by his
happy and pleasant disposition.
He is survived by daughter, Mrs.
Harold 5. Owen, of this city, and two
brothers and two sisters as follows;
Mrs. Henry Martin, of Flint; Mrs. Har-
