''sees Catholic Republic"

"Sees Catholic Republic"
It reports that the bishop ''pic-
tured an era of the future when ko-
man Catholicism will be supreme
throughout the United States And
it quotes him as saying:
Half century hence, or at the
most century hence, / see a Ro-
man Catholic country. In the win
ter months, from the Atlantic to the
Pacific and from the North to the
South, hear one AngeIus bell after
another calling the millions to pray.
er. see Christ ruling and Christ
loving through this broad nation.
see the extinction of all fads and va
rious PHILOSOPHERS.
OF these words it might be said
what some one has said of similar
utterances of Roman Catholics nf-
teen years ago: they are worthless
as prophecies, but they are valuable
as confessions. Our country has
reason to be awake, to observe. and
to ponder In noting the letter of
protest which Lutheran clergymen
in New York addressed to Presi-
dent Roosevelt, the st. Louis Mirror
of December said:
Church organizations of the Luth-
Grams and the Presbyterians have
demonstrated with the President for
denouncing as calumny the asser-
ton that Protestants will not vote
q Of
The President wrote magnanimously,
but we believe he is mistaken. We
believe that if the issue were pre-
sented of Roman Catholic candi-
date for President, the vast majori-
ty Of Protestants would vote against
such q candidate because OF his reli-
gious faith, believing that in crisis
Of a moral sort he would be domi-
mated by Roman Catholic as superior
to American considerations. We
don't defend this attitude We sim
ply state it as fact. We have no
hesitation, either, in stating that a
great deal of the surprise in Mr.
Taft's vote for President was due to
Roman Catholic support because of
Mr.. Taft's friendliness- to the Roman
! Catholic Church in the Philippines.
The Roman Catholic vote gave such
a city as Brooklyn to Taft. This fact
may make trouble in future, but as
fact we must accept it.
Cardinal Gibbons also foresees
trouble; and in his judgment the
trouble is imminent. He says, as
quoted in the Lutheran Of Deem
Der 10:
There is a great evil in the land
which forebodes. revolution or a par
tial upheaval of society.
This language, coming as it does
on the heels of the New York letter
to President Roosevelt, is signifi-
cant. Surely, the Baltimore eccfe-
siastic would not call his church or
ganization "a great eyil'' nor any
thing that Catholics have done. Nor
is the letter of the President to Mr..
Martin the great evil. For Roman
Catholics love that letter, and the
Cardinal has, no doubt, increased his
Importance in his own church, be-
cause he has been able to say: Il
knew the letter was coming" The
4 great evil'' must have arisen later
than the Presidents letter. Some
thing has happened since then that
''forebodes revolution or partial
social upheayal."
Yes. there may be trouble; but

the death Of Editor Fred N. whitney
Of the Northfeld News. which will be
felt in ways that do not now appear
in spite Of the general grief that pre-
walls in the different fields with which
he had been associated during his
newspaper career. Mr.. whitney was
one Of the most lovable OF men per-
sonally. and his many admirable quail
tiles made him favorite with his
colleagues of the newspaper profess
sion as well as with the public gem
orally He welded a facile pen which
was ever guided by good common
sense as we'll as sound journalistic
judgment, and his newspaper exerted
an influence that was altogether dis
proportionate with his local field In
deed it is probably safe to say that
Mr. Whitney's editorial influence was
as great az that Of any other Journal
ist in Vermont not excluding the daily
press. Under these circumstances 1t
will manifestly be a long time before
his place can be measurably occupied,
and It can never be wholly file l..
Meanwhile all Vermont will continue

always took for good citizenship and

tfrOm the Mexican Herald.)
From the cry of Mexico to the top of
Mount Popocatepetl in two hours. From
balmy air to a temperature of 20 degrees
below zero in 12O minutes. 1t sounds like
a dream, but DIR. +. S. Pearson is now
planning railway to the snow crowned
crest 1900 feet above sea level, which
will make the dream come true. Not
only that. but a trolley line from the
capital to Puebla will be constructed
which will be able to carry passengers
over In two hours and half.
DR.. Pearson said recently that the
final surveys on the Mexico Puebla and
Mexico-Touca lines have been stopped
owing to the disturbed conditions in the
country. but that as soon as peace had
been restored finally the work would be
continued. The construction of the Puebll
route will be started as soon as the sur
veys have been finished and it is pos
sible that work on both lines will be
commenced at the same time.
The railway to Puehla will pass between
Popocatepctl and Ixtaccihuatl, reaching
an altitude Of more than l4.Oo0 feet, well
within The snow line. 1t is the route
followed by Cortez when the conqueror
first entered the valley of Mexico and

train their students to become wives

bookkeeper. Domestic science courses
and household economy will find a
