THE JEFFERSoN1AN

Irvine, manufactures OF iron, ana
steel, and manufacturers OF leather
are the most important of the ex-
ports to that country.
The above statements are based
upon figures Of the United States
Government showing imports from,
and exports to Russia as reported
to the Bureau Of Statistics by
the customs authorities of this
country. They materially, how
ever, form the official figures of tina
Russian Government showing her
exports to, and imports from the
United States. The Russian figures
of imports from the United States
are much larger than United States
figures of exports to that country,
while Russian figures of exports to
the United States are much smaller
than our statement of imports from
that country. These discrepancies
between the official figures of the re-
spectfve countries are due chiefly to
the fact that in many cases goods
in the trade between the two coun-
tries are not consigned directly to
the country cf ultimate destination.
In such cases goods sent from the
United States to Russia or from
Russia to the United States are con-
signed first to a German, English,
or other middlemen who forwards
them to their. ultimate destination.
This is particularly true of cotton,
which is the most important article
of export from the United States to
Russia.
The United States figures of total
exports to Russia in the calendar
year 1909 show a little less than
S17,0OO,000, while the Russian fig
ures show nearly $30,00O,00O worth
of imports from this country. On
the other hand, United States fig
ures for the same year show imports
of over $16,OOO,0OO worth of mer-
chandise from Russia, while Rus
sian figures for the same period
show a little less than $6,000,000
worth Of exports to the United
States.

Some Reasons Why the Roman Catholic
Church in the United States Should
Be Actively Opposed

minds incapable OF receiving new
1deas-minds which are enslaved to
the idea that men exist for the church
and not the church for men, and
which constitutes serious menace
to the Republic. since the population
is thus being largely divided into two
camps-Protestant and Catholic
with opposing ideals.
Mr.. William Allen White, in the
American Magazine for February,
1910, says:
''The public school is the one insti-
tuition which shall determine the des-
tiny Of the people, for that is the
one institution over which the people
have the most absolute control"
It this be true, what is to be said
Of the Roman Catholic attempt to
segregate thousands of boys and girls
in every large city in parochial
schools, as indicated by the paragraph
Of the Archbishop of Cincinnati, in a
letter dater August 81, 1911, written
to the clergy and laity Of the Arch
diocese of Cincinnati, as follows:
'sAs the obligation of sending
children to the Catholic schools is
very important it follows that failing
to comply with it being mortal sin
is matter for confession. Parents
therefore, who deliberately omit to
accuse themselves of this sin do not
make an entire confession and conse-
quently receive the sacrament Of
penance sacrilegiously.
''The foregoing regulations hold
good also in the case of guardians.
Children who by importuning their
parents 60 to non-Catholic schools
should not be absolved nor allowed
to receive Holy Communion unless
they promise to ask their parents to
allow them to return to the Catho-
lic'
This is very serious evil, as the
public school is the one place where
something can be done toward imbu-
ing the minds Of the young of the
different nationalities in our popu1a-
ton with common high ideals, and
to instruct the child in matters
relating to good citizenship and
social betterment, teaching them, for
instance, that all institutions axe but
means to an end and not the end
itself and that in order to advance
and develop We must take the truth
from whatever source it comes,
regardless of the nationality or creed
of the giver.
With the above facts in mind it
would seem imperative that our
Protestant population should do
what it can, at the polls and else
where, towards protecting our public
school system and checking the
spread of Catholicism in the United
States as being a medieval super
stition, opposed to liberty, enlighten-
ment and progress, and generally
antagonistic TO the ideals set forth by
the founders of this Republic.
Such opposition should not be con-
sidered as religious persecution, but
merely means Of self-defense-th
prerogative of every individual or
ommunity-against very insidious
and degrading influence

phical, tending toward a bet
opposed to it's own narrow and
bigoted dogmatism concerning life
and progress, Is too we'll known to
require further comment. 1t is nee
essary to point out, however, that
the same malignant spirit, manifested
In the past toward reformers of all
kinds, still exists in the present
organization, as proven by the perse-
cution and murder of Francisco Fer
rer in Spain less than two years
ago.
Professor Giddings points out that
in no country but Spain has a gov
ernment SO consistently prosecuted
and killed it's thinking, progressive
men, and he states this fact as one
OF the chief causes Of Spain's rapid
decline to a very subordinate posi-
ton among the civilized nations Of
the world. And let it be remem-
bered that the Roman Catholic
Church has had a strang1e hold on
Spain and the Spanish government
for the past five hundred years. The
percentage of illiteracy in Spain at
the present time is something like
Sc per cent.
Another feature Of the Catholic
Church in Spain is the manufacture
OF various articles in competition
with the laity. Church property not
being taxable, the church authorities
can underseH outside producers This
unfairness was the direct cause Of
the burnings of converts and destruc-
ton Of church property during the
Barcelona riots in 1910. A similar
state of affairs also existed in France
until the expulsion, by the French
government, of the religious orders
and the separation Of church and
state
In this country the Catholic Church
Is getting more and more powerful
IN political life, as many Catholics
are working their way through the
lesser public offices into higher posi-
tons in the courts and legislative
bodies, including Congress-, the Sen
ate and tho United States Supreme
Court. This is unfortunate and
dangerous to the people because with
a little reflection on this subject it
will be found that the training the
Roman Catholic receives from his
church does not qualify him for pub
lie office and the possession of power
over free people.
From the writer's observation of
Roman Catholics he has come to the
conclusion that they are sadly
lacking in ideas and ideals, shutting
their minds to all intellectual
advancement. This is, of course,
largely the result of their religious
training, which is essentially narrow
and repressive.
AS proof of the never-changing
attitude of the Catholic Church
toward the discoveries of science and
the overwhelming intellectual hori-
Zon Of the seeker after knowledge I
call attention to the decree of the
Holy and Universal Inquisition under
Pope Plus x, dated July 3rd, 1907,
which designates as sixty-five "griev-
Gus errors" the conclusions drawn
by thinkers in the natural and
philosophical sciences throughout the
world from the accumulated evil
dence of centuries.
Another serious feature is the policy
of seclusion and exclusion main
tanned by the Catholic Church which
forbids certain books to it's members
and APPARENTLY instructs them never
to discuss the tenets of their faith.
This is highly injurious both to them

ROOSEVELT CARRIES PENNSYL.
 VANTA.

Philadelphia. Pa., Nov. 5.-Theodore Roosevelt, on the face of the returns tabulated at 10:30 tonight appears to have carried Pennsylvania. This suppositon is based upon less than onc-quarter of the returns but enough to show that Governor Wilson ap- pears to be falling far short of his predicted vote of 44S,000 in the state while President Taft appears to be running little ahead of the 265,000 given to him by opposition leaders and not disuted by the crushed leaders of his own party. Roosevelt should nave about 470,O00 votes in the state II the present ratio continues and many of the city wards and country districts in which the Colonel was conceded to be the strongest hae not Eeen heard from.
 In Philadelphia President Taft seems to be running better than eX- pected owing to the fact that the downtown leaders at the very last moment decided to split their enor~ mcus vote an ddivide it almost equal ly between Taft and Roosevelt.
 Governor Wilson's vote in Phlladel- phia is a surprise. He lost votes m nearly every district so far heard from and every vote appears to have gone to Rooseelt. Even in the slxth ward, the only Democratic ward III Philadelphia, he lost 45O votes.
