THE .JEFFERSONIAN

as compared with a Roman Catholic
population of 14,235,451, accepting
their own figures, which DR.. McCabe
shows are grossly exaggerated by
the priests.
The frequent boast of the Hierar-
chy, designed to impress politicians,
that Roman Catholic voters may be
depended upon to vote for Roman
Catholic nominees, was exploded by
the Milwaukee city election in 1910,
of which the Independent Magazine
said:
'The Catholic church condemns
Socialism. The strongest Roman
Catholic ward in Milwaukee is the
Fourteenth, where four-fifths of the
voters are Polish Catholics. That
ward was carried by the Socialist
candidate for mayor, although the
Democratic candidate was a Catho-
lie.
Query: Are they good Catholics?
Are they Catholics at all? Are they
counted as Catholics in the census
which gives that church fourteen
million members?"
Within the past month it has
dawned upon the real leaders of the
Republican party that a serious and
perhaps fatal mistake has been made
in permitting the great Protestant
majority tobe almost daily offended
and alarmed by dispatches from
New York and Washington, indicat-
ing the frequent granting of unusual
political, financial and social favors
to the Roman Catholic Hierarchy,
and observers have noted a sudden
decrease in the number of these dis
patches since the recent public COM
plant of President Taft. 1t is pre-
sumed the Hierarchy will cease it's
efforts in that line for the present,
and confne it's activities to the NOV
ing picture films.
President Taft can at once regain
a portion of his lost ground by sus-
tanning the order of Commissioner
Valentine forbidding the wearing of
sectarian garb in Indian schools.
This is the safe and practical thing
to do for his own fortunes, as well

sion or our government, banks and
Industries, American wages and
standards of living will inevitably
sink to the low standards of Catho-
lie countries.
Notwithstanding the fake statistics
yearly issued by the Hierarchy, the
fact remains, of which politicians
should take notice, that in the Uni
ted States eighty million men,
women and children are affiliated
with or in sympathy with Protest
antism-cOmpared with not to ex-
coed nine million Roman Catholic
men women and children, as shown
by Joseph McCabe, once a Roman
Catholic priest of high standing, in
his recent book, ''The Decay of the
Church of Rome"
The rrotestants, Jews, Christian
Scientists, Spiritualists and Free
thinkers combined, Overwhelmingly
outclass the Roman Catholics in
numbers, wealth and influence, and
it is only necessary for this great
body Of non-Catholics to resolve that
no office seeker owing allegiance to
the papacy shall receive preferment
at their hands, to put an abrupt end
to Catholic pretentions of American
control
Wise Catholics are anxious that
the great Protestant majority shall
not be forced to this extreme step,
but the spiritually blind, reaction
airy Jesuits, Gibbons, Farley and
O'Connell, are heading the Roman
Catholic ship straight for the rocks
of political destruction
The Methodists alone in the Uni
ted States outnumber the Roman
Catholics, and their statistics would
show it if they used the Roman
Catholic basis Of counting; and the
same is true of the Baptists.
In the Literary Digest of May
goth, 1909, Dr. H. K Carroll, the
eminent statistician estimated that
the Methodist population in the
United States was then 81, 884,093

THE MONTICELLO SCHEME.

The effort is renewed actively on
the part of certain people, especially
in New York, headed by the wife Of
Congressman Martin w. Littleton,
to buy Monticello, in spite of the
opposition of it's owner to the sale,
to the government or to anyone else.
1t may be desirable at some time
to turn Monticello into national
property and keep it, but when in
dividuaIs are in possession of prop
erty which they are abundantly able
to keep and maintain and when that
property has been in the family for
about century and a half, it seems
only reasonable that the owners be
left alone However much are pro-
motors of this enterprise may admire
Jefferson and wish to honor his
memory, they are proceeding about
it in a way that offends the sense
of the majority of the American
people.
No instance can be shown where
in possession has been taken by
force Of law under the power of emil
nent domain to establish a park or
erect a monument or to acquite
house where opposition was made
by the owners. There is no good
reason why this movement, so often
sive to Congressman Levy and his
household, should be countenanced
as it is, both by the organization of
a society and by vigorous canvass
for names on a petition to Congress
invoking the strong arm of that
body.-Buffalo IN. Y.) Evening

Another one of the six was Car
riere. He was big and quiet, with
deceptive placidity-not at all the
sort of man you expected to meet IL
you had ever heard of him.
Like many other adventures, Car
riere ran away at sea. Like all who
nave ever done so, he paid for his
run In sweat and agony. He was a
sailor before the mast for several
years, on coasting vessels, tramp
steamers, trading schooners in the Far
East. He was in the Philippines
when the war broke out, and he was
captured by the insurgents and held
prise ner for several months. He was
engaged in vague, Informed revolu-
tionary plots; he Joined secret soci.
cites that have for their aim the
emancipation of British India; and he
did many other things in many other
places that took him down into the
deeps of life.
Finally, he drifted to the Balkans,
about the time Macedonia was in the
throes of the terrible revolt against
Turkish rule. Carriere became in
tensely interested in this blind strug.
gle of a Christian people for free,
dom, and he determined to let the
world know some OF the inside details
of prevailing conditions. He believed,
too, that he could be of help to the
revolutionary chiefs in perfecting their
organization in the villages and towns
of the five vilayets.
In the course of nearly two years
work he had carried out his entire
plan of organization, except in Salon.

no suspicious at first, although he did
not like the local yoivode, and it came
as a wholly unexpected shock when
his secretary was shot down on the
streets at night, after he had ventured
out for brief walk. The local com
mittee claimed that Greek had done
it, but Carriere was suspicious.
Two nights passed, and then the
old woman in whose house he was hid

on her face. She had heard two men
talking in her garden about askares

That question has puzzled poultry

rily solved by woman. She is Mrs,

That was enough for Carriere.
He left the house in broad daylight
trusting entirely to luck; and on
his way out of the city he met a de-
tachment of troops marching to sur.
round his hiding place. They halted
him, but Bulgarian girl, friend OF
his future wife, who was standing near
by, claimed him as her brother, and
he was allowed to go on.
In Bulgaria he married the Russian
girl who had been his principal help
er and incentive, and cast about for
some new task.
Young Ford was as different from
Carriere or the others as a man well
could be. I have known Ford for some
years, and l think he is, without ex.
ception, the checklist man l have ever
encountered. For one thing, he is a
newspaper man-when he is anything,
that is. Ford never works unless he
has to, and he always makes sure that

go by way of Europe, more especially
by way of Paris. I knew the hold
