With Pope Leo XIII declaring in
1885, *All Catholics should exert
their power to cause the Constitu-

US to realize that it is an unsafe
thing for Americans to put Roman
Catholic in Office unless he disowns
political allegiance to the Pope of
Rome. In the lighter we should
say, the shadow of what the Man on
the Tiber has meant through all the
bloody, dreary years against the
march of soul-freedom in the world,
we offer this ready, reasonable solu-
ton to the anti-CathoIic agitation in
this country:
If American Catholics wish to free
themselves from political suspicion
let them openly break forever with
meddlesome foreign pope! Then,
and not till then, can they expect
freemen in America to take their
hand without suspicion or restraint,
and say: We trust you've are
your brothers!-Golden Age.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1912-06-27

The church and State are passing
through the counting transition, and
are playing each into the others
hands. Ii the rulers of this nation
employ the same tactics as Constan-
tine did, and follow the course which
he took with the Roman Church, the
same result will follow here in our
time that followed there in his. Is
our country to be surrendered into
the hands of an ecclesiastical trust
with such history and such a pur-
pose as that of the Roman Church?

TAFT'S ROMTSH FILTRATION.
INEXCUSABLE PRESIDENTIAL :
COMPROMISES FOR POfITT-
CAL PURPOSES.
FILTRATION.
CAL PURPOSES.

LAS the Lord liveth" we find no
pleasure in again calling attention to
President Taft's inexcuSable fiirta-
tons with powers Of Rome.
From our heart Of hearts we
would wish that he had never made
it necessary. But the situation in
America is becoming acute and criti-
cal, and by all memories of the Dark
Ages-when the Pope of Rome ruled
kings and kingdoms with Inquisi-
lions OF horror, rods OF iron and
torches Of flame-we call on all true
Americans, whether Protestant or
Catholic, to stand up and look the
threatening fGcts fairly and braVely
in the face.
"A Powerful Indictment of Taft's
Romanism," il enough to at once
startle and disgust every loyal
American, whose love for the Flag
Of the Free is greater than his cring-
ing fear Of a foreign autocrat on
reIigia- political throne
Let one thing be remembered now
and forever-there is nothing per-
Sonal or religious, per Sc, in our sup
port Of that Indictment. The editor
OF the Golden Age has many warm
friends who are Catholics reIigiously,
but who are not Catholics politically;
and if the final issue were to come
between a foreign pope and our Gov
eminent, they would be patriots first
and Catholics next-Catholics re-
hgiously, maybe, but Romish Cath
olics with political scheming, no
more forever.
And there are thousands of pa
triOtic American Catholics who
would say Amen" to this vital dis
tinction. Such genuine patriotism
will take no offense at this honest
discrimination. Our position is in
contestable. Those who do object
are. not patriots. They are blind and
servile religionists, who fear for
eign despot more than they love the
American flag. To such aliens on
American soil we offer sincere pity
but no apology
'Unduly disturbed Does the con-
sentative answer? Nay, verify! Ev-
erybody knows who knows one par
ticle Of history that Rome controlled
the civil affairs Of every possible
nation until her unbearable excuses
caused freemen to rise and shake off
the Pontiff's blighting power.
Everybody knows that a foreign
Pope with his throne on the Tiber
has nothing to dor should have
nothing to do with the civil affairs of
any nation on earth-but here the

The Governor and the Cardinal

governor"
Evidently the Catholics do not in
tend to make an apology for placing
the cardinal above the governor on
this occasion, as the following, pub
lished in the Boston Journal on
March %, Indicates:
ITO the Editor of the Boston
Journal: What is all this fuss about
Governor Foss saying the State was
not accorded it's proper place at the
Irish Charitable Society dinner at
the Hotel Somerset last Monday
night?
"He tells us that the common
wealth's representative should speak
before the representative of any for
eign Or ecclesiastical body. 1 do not
agree with him. He had no more
right to speak before the church rep
resentatives than had.
We Catholics do not owe Governor
Foss any apology, and will not make
any"
Joseph M. Shepley, a minister of
the Methodist Church, speaks in be-
half OF the Methodists OF Boston as
follows
'"To the Editor Of the Boston
journal: / desire to express to you
my hearty appreciation of your atti-
tude on the incident regarding the
relative prominence which it was in
tended by those in charge of the
Irish Society banquet should be CIV
en- the governor of the common
wealth and Cardinal O'Conne1l, and
I am sure I speak not only for my
self, but for all Methodist people
hereabouts.
1T is good to know that We have
paper in Boston that stands square,
ly for American principles, and will
speak out when the circumstances
call for such expression
Your editorial is absolutely right,
and no right-thinking man can ques-
ton it,
It was the privilege of the writer
to be present at this banquet at the
preliminary and subsequent func-
tions in which the President and the
cardinal participated The whole
affair seemed more akin to court
ship between the President and the
cardinal, the State and the church,
than anything the writer had ever
seen. From the loving glances, en-
braces, bowling attitudes and almost
undivided attentions during the
whole evening, one would judge that
the wedding day between the church
and the State can not be far dis
tant.
AS Cardinal O'ConnelI entered the
reception room of the Hotel Somer-
set, the members of the Irish Society
bowed their knees at his feet and
kissed the gem in the ring on his
hand. Judges Of the Supreme Court
of Massachusetts and other officials
in high positions bowed the knee and
kissed the hand. The whole pro-
ceeding harked back to the days of
medievalism, when the red caps,
frocks, and gowns flourished in the
civil courts and swayed the civil
scepter.
writer in the Boston Journal
made the following very appropriate
comment on the affair: 'What a
misrepresentation of the meek and
lowly Nazarene and of true Christi
anity was this exaltation and pomp
sought by the cardinal on this occa-
sion!"
While the President has gained
the favor of the Catholics by partici
patton in this event, the liberty-loy-
ing Americans, who are opposed to

- - EW England has been greatly
tNI agitated over the recent visit
of President Taft to Boston.
The Boston Charitable Irish
Society Of Catholics gave President
Taft a royal banquet on the evening
of March Is in the Banquet Hall of
the Hotel Somerset. The program for
the evening was previously arranged,
and Cardinal O'Connen was to occu-
py the position Of first place next to
the President in the commonwealth
of Massachusetts, and Governor Foss
and Mayor Fitzgerald were to occu-
py third and fourth places respec-
lively. Accordingly Cardinal O'Con-
nell was seated next to President
Taft on his right, and was also ac-
corded the second position on the
program of speeches for the occa-
sion.
The presiding officer Of the Irish
Society introduced Cordinal O'COn-
nell as 1.-The first citizen Of the COM
monwealth Of Massachusetts" The
governor of the State was informed
that the cardinal Of the Roman Cath
Ollie Church was to occupy the first
position as the representative of the
church and be introduced as s'the
first citizen of the commonwealth of
Massachusetts," and that the high
civil officer of the commonwealth was
to come in as the seconu citizen;
and thereuron the governor refused
to be present and take part in the
program, being unwilling to have
the church exalted above the State
on such an occasion.
The stand which the governor
took has caused much comment
throughout the country, and has
started heated controversy. A few
quotations from the daily newspa-
pers will indicate the feeling that
exists. The Boston Journal of
March Fl, contained the following
editorial, under the title Of Church
and State":-
Governor Foss must be COM
mended and supported in his stand
that the governor OF this common
wealth can not take a secondary
place at a public affair to any church
official or any church, ehowever ex-
allied Or dignified. 1t is unfortunate
that such a question was ever pre-
cipitated, because the people at large
do not wish such a question ever to
be raised. But being raised, there is
absolutely no question as to what
the people OF the State will decide.
They will not suffer the public repre-
sentative of all the people to wait
till any ecclesiastic has taken supe-
rior place
Another article, entitled ga Pro-
test" appeared III the same paper on
the same date, and reads as fol-
lows:-
"To the Editor Of the Boston
journal: The Pope's power in
America needs a shock to adjust it
to it's proper place. When a foreign
representative demands precedence
over our governor, it is high time for
another Martin Luther. It may be
well for Europe to be under the
Pope's thumb and subservient to his
wish, but in America it is about time
such medievalism came to close,
and orders of precedence in State
matters not be dictated by Cardinal
O'Connell or any other prelate. If
Catholics are cultured enough to un-
derstand and not approve this ac-
ton, then it is time the cardinal
learned that he is in America. In

A novel idea which comprehends the
instruction OF foreigners in subjects
covered, by tho examinations for Citizen
ship In this country is being arranged
by Joseph L. Topper, an attorney here.
who has become imbued with a desire
to assist his countrymen and others
who are unacquainted with American
history OF the government.
Free lectures will be held once each
week In the rooms Of the Jewish
temple, at Fifth and I streets. which
have been placed at the disposal OF Mr.
iTepper for this purpose. The frst
meeting will be held next, Monday night
and further arrangements for the
meetings will be made at that time to
accommodate those attending the lec-
lures.
The subjects discussed will include
history Of the United States from
earliest times to the present, careful
review OF the growth OF the Constitu-
ton and the manner In which the Gov
ernment Is carried on.
The matter is a hobby with Mr., Tcp-
per. who says that he feels the import
ance of showing foreigners something
Of the advantages they may enjoy here
and which they are not flt to appreci-
ate until they have learned our history
and manner OF government.

GARRARD'S PLANS
TO BETTER GUARD
ISSUED IN DETAIL
Colonel Explains Why Dis
trict, Needs Two
Militias.

Detailed recommendations Of Col. Jo-
seph Garrard regarding the organise
tion OF Federal employees In the District
National Guard into a separate home
guard auxiliary are now available, tho
report Of the commanding officer of tho
Bolivar maneuver camp having reached
washington through Eastern division
headquarters.
II recommend that the National
Guard. District Of Columbia, be reor-
ganized SO that those members that are
Federal employees shall be segregated In
ORGANIZATIONS by themselves and that
available for service outside the Dis
trict OF Columbia"
Many Federal Employees.
In support OF this recommendation Col
onel Garrard shows that the paper
strength OF the District guard is 1s0
officers. 1.67s men. and the camp
strength was 121 officers and 1.i7s men,
ofcers % ana Is e. mem 1"Ssr are Fsdersi s'aane ems
playes. Practically two.thirds OF the
officers and one-third OF the men are
Federal employees. q.
camp strength, and Of this number fifty
officers, exactly two-t thirds, and 2s1 men
are Federal employees.
The camp strength Of the other or
ganisations. - shown by Colonel Gar
rard, are: .
Brigade headquarters s-Twenty-three
officers and i've men. Eleven officers
and flve men Federal employees.
First Separate Battalion-Thirteen Of
fcers and go men. Twelve officers and
sixty-one mep Federal employees.
Medical department-Twelve officers
and forty.six man. -Four officers and
twenty-seven men Federal employees.
Battcry-Five officers and ninety -eight
men. Four officers and seventy-three
men Federal employees.
Signal company-Three officers and
forty-eisht men. Two officers and
thirty-eight men Federal employees.
Would Cripple U. S.
Many officers and men are employees
OF the departments Of the Federal Gov
ernment." says Colonel Garrard. 'and
II they did 70 to war would correspond
ingly cripple the Government by their
absence from their regular duties In tho
departments"
An important recommendation in con-
nection with the proposed reorganization
Is the following:
That the facilities for armory In
struction be Increased so that adequate
instruction can be given members of
the National Guard OF the District Of
Columbia throughout the year"
