Methodist Leader Says Roosevelt Dis

Primaries Only to Get
Third Term.

Bishop w. A Quayle of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church, who is plesid-
ing at the St Louis conference meet
ing at the Grand Avenue church, in
Kansas City. Mo, differs from most
members of his profession He doesn't
believe that because man is
preacher he should not be allowed to
speak his mind freely. And he doesn't
think very much of Theodore Roose-
welt He believes there is a neuI otto
wave in American politics. and that
Roosevelt is trying to capitalize it to
get back into office
My judgment is that the worst
thing any American citizen can do
is to minister 10 the nervousness of
the American people" he said at the
Kupper hotel last night Then he
talked about Roosevelt.
"Mr. Roosevelt he said, "all at
once discovered that unless we have
miscellaneous primary, our liberties
are in peril He was twice president
when we did not have a primary. He
probably was a good man then and
he probably is a good man now-only
we've had enough of him.
Political Hydrophoba.
To run for office the bishop said it
seemed necessary to have a SPELL"
to enjoy thinking that rything is
the worst it ever was. Then he talked
again of the primary proposition.
In politics" he said, 1T is the thing
to hunt for the place where we can
have the biggest spell There is no
use having a hvdrophobia fit where
there is neither hydrophobia nor
water"
AS another part of the formula for
office hunting the bishop mentioned.
shouting: "All the bad men are in
office and all the good men are out of
office, but the good men will soon be
in. l am the most honest and best
man alive. Amen" :.
Not long ago., continued the.
bishop, "a brother asked me if 1 fol-
lowed the thought of certain man.
replied that l never saw any
But do you read after him?"
"a long ways 1 answered.
MIR. Quaylei he then reproached
me, 4 should think a man like you
would not object to what man said
unless he familiarized himself with
what he did say
"a Meglomaniac."
T never took the pains to read
what this man says" explained the
bishop IF you read what maniac
says you are in danger of becoming
MANAGED and this man is meglo-
maniac, the most vituperative type of
maniac, a consuming egotist."
Bishop Quayle said that while he
was pastor of a church in Chicago an
other minister was thanking God
there was one honest man in America.
Il called him up said the bishop,
land asked him if he was correctly
quoted. He said he was. Then you
are mistaken, DOCTOR l said. There
are two honest men In America l
am here The story got into the
newspapers and the absurd talk of
there being one honest man in Amer
lea was laughed down.
Bishop Quayle paid his respects to
the neurotic wave in political affairs
as part of his refutation of the gen.
eral disposition to over-emphasize the
evils of the present day and bark
back to the good old days" AS he
sees it, the present days, and not the
past days, are the good ones, and
better day will be FASTENED more by
recognizing this than by looking ut
the defects-Kansas City Journal.
