ROOSEVELT AND TRUSTS.

The New York World considers
that the battle now on with Penrose
on one side and Roosevelt on the
other, is a battle between Standard
Oil and the Morgan interests. This
idea is forcibly presented in a car
toon from McAuley on the editorial
page of the World and also in an
editorial article of some length. The
editorial article begins with the fol-
lowing definite statement:
All Of the great financial interests
contributed large sums of money in
1904 to buy the friendship of the
Roosevelt administration. ;. Pier
pont Morgan won; Hartman and the
Standard Oil Company lost.
To confirm this statement the
World produces quite an array of
circumstantial evidence. 1t says fur
Their:

been obtained as to the total amount
OF the Morgan bid. One partner, Mr..
SALISBURY, helped to collect the
Roosevelt campaign fund in Penn
syivania. Another partner, Mr.. Per-
kins, helped to collect the Roosevelt
campaign fund in. New York, It
was through Mr.. Perkins that the
money of the New York Life Insur-
ance Company was poured into the
Roosevelt campaign chest. Mr.. Frick,
who is associated with Mr.. Morgan in
railroads and in the Steel Trust,
raised an additional 100000 to
make good any losses that the
Roosevelt campaign chest sustained
as a result of the Standard Oil Incl
dent. Mr.. Morgan's own contribu-
lions are still a secret
This much is certain: The Nor
gan interests (which have been so
friendly to us" were lavish In finan-
cling the Roosevelt campaign and the
Morgan interests were always pro-
tected by the Roosevelt administra-
ton, which took them into partner

indulgence leafilet that is
sent to all Roman Catholics;
this shows OH its face that
these Catholic priests are insistent.
In season and out OF season; they
do not fail to keep the faithful
well prodded. Yof1. see what they
are doing to increase the effort in
behalf Of Roman Catholic schools
and to awaken and infame preju-
dice and opposition to the public
schools. What in the name of God
are We Protestants thinking Of? Are
we like Sampson, to lie with our
head in the lap of the Delilah of In
difference, till our strength be shorn
from as? And shall we be bound
hand and foot to the Domination of
State and Nation by Roman Catho-

Utah it was freely claimed that Taft
would get three million Roman
Catholic votes out there, because of
his toadying to the pope and the
American Hierarchy.

smacks Of the constant effort to
down the public schools.

THE GENERAL INTENTION FOR
SEPTEMBER, 1912.
Recommended by His Holiness, Pope
Plus X.-Catholic Schools and
Colleges.
!. Every Catholic child has the right
to Catholic education. Yet in
many parts of the world violent eff
forts are made today to deprive
Catholic children of this God-given
right. In France, for example, the
M CT wiz To
stroy Christianity in the soul Of the
child. In England, many Protest
ants have been advocating a nom
sectarian education that must inevi-
tably result in religious indifference.
No Catholic fathers or mother
should allow the children to be
brought up without a thoroughly
Catholic training. This means that
they must spend their day in a reli-
gious atmosphere. Every day and
every hour of the day must be con-
secrated to God.
The need of Catholic education
has been rightly appreciated by our
Catholic people. Look at the sacri-
fees they have made, of men and
women and of money, to insure the
establishment of Catholic schools and
colleges. See the devoted Priests
and Brothers and Sisters who by
their unremitting labors for the
Sacred Heart have trained up so
many loyal Catholic men and wo-
men.
Where Catholic schools could not
be opened, too often Catholic child
rem who have had to breathe the at
mosphere of the public school, where
God is ignored, have fallen away
from the Church.
1t is not merely in childhood that
Catholic training is required. When
the boy or girl advances to High
School or to College, they should
not be exposed to the chill of non
Catholic surroundings, where there
is so much peril for Faith and NOR
atty. Hence we should also pray
fervently for the success and pros
perity of Catholic Schools, Acade-
mics and Colleges.

Heart, SOL West 181st Street, New

WILSON'S STRENGTH HIS Weakness

The Dear People" have had their
say. 1t is now the politicians inning.
The delegates, the congressman, the
senators, and the state bosses are the
people to be dealt with at Baltimore.
The character of fight made against
Wilson by the combination of the
other candidates when the appeal was
being made in the preferential prim-
aries is well known. An entirely diff
ferent system is to be put in operation
now that the people are out of it. That
is why we say Wilson's strength is in
fact his weakness.
The result of the Chicago conven-
tion will constitute a most telling in
fluence on the action of the Baltimore
convention. If Roosevelt should re-

OF it and adapt himself to the surround
ing circumstances and take half a
loaf where a full loaf was denied.
Another point where the personal
work in the mater of securing legis-
lation by Governor Wilson has not
been fairly represented even by his
friends in Washington is that they
have felt even in their admiration for
him impelled to say he had "FORC-
ED" his legislative program through,
and the term forced" was construed
in it's baser physical sense. The facts
sonal magnetism and the ability to
show the right and the merit and the
virtue of the thing that enabled Gov
ernor Wilson to put through his legis-
lative program. In our blind enthus-
iasm for him even we who are closest
and most sincere in presenting his
claims as a democratic nominee have
made the mistake of creating a wrong
impression about Governor Wilson's
methods. We we're proud to say he
dragged from republican senate and
an antagonistic house the legislation
that was put upon the statues during
the 1911 legislature. Insead of bene
fitting the governor, far from home
where they were not able to see and
learn first-hand the actual facts. this
this has injured him with the best ant
the ablest democrats. They are no
willing to confess that it was neces
sary for the NOR the democratic party
as a whole nationally to be FORGET
to do things that are right and arr

ceive the regular republican nomina
ton the delegates at Baltimore would
recognize they had one of the hardest
fights in the history of the party.
They know that as the regular nomi-
nee Roosevelt will have a campaign
fund at his command the equal of
which has never yet been dreamed
of. If Taft is made the regular nomi-
nee-that is, has the organization S
lakeland Roosevelt runs on a ticket
of his own-which he certainly will
do-the democrats are likely to make
the mistake of acting upon the theory
that any democrat, no matter Who
can win easily. This would mean that
the POLITICIANS will attempt to
nominate a man who will be respon-
sive to them, and who will recognize
them in all matters of patronage,
while the congressman and senator's,
whether delegates or not, would in
sist upon the nomination of candidate
who, when president, would be con-
tent to be a strictly constitutional
president" In both cases the natural
result would be a desire to nominate
a man of Champ Clark's type with no
prejudice whatever against Oscar
Underwood but with an unalterable
antagonism to Woodrow Wilson.
The truth In politics is usually pain
tul as well as imprudent when discus
sing big and ambitious men. We said
that Wilson's strength was his weak
ness with the two classes just men,
toned. They say Wilson would not
be content to be a constitutional pres
ident. That he would not recognize
the local democratic organizations
but that he would attempt to do with
Congress what he ala with the New
Jersey Legislature, and in the matter
of patronage he would act on his per-
sonal inclination or accept the word
of personal friends, and make his ap.
pointments accordingly rather than
submit entirely to the Endorsements OF
state. district and county party organ
izations. Congressman and senators
say as a president Gov. Wilson could
not pursue his policy OF 'pitiless pub
| licity" and compel members of Con
gress, as he compelled members o.
the New Jersey legislature, to vote
contrary to their own wishes and the
orders of the party organization. Thel
insist an effort on this part to carry
out such a program would find him be
fore the end of his first congress, will
reference to the senate and the house
where Cleveland stood at the close o
his administration, and that Mr.. Wi
sons first presidential term woul
place the party organization wher
Cleveland's last presidential term plat
ed it.
The truth might as well be confess
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1912-06-20

in keeping with party pledges. They
desire a share of the credit for vol
nutarily and enthusiastically aiding
in the passage of legislation, and are
not willing to be referred to as the New
Jersey Legislature has. Neither do
they relish being fingered in the dis
tribution as that constitutes a stigma
of unworthiness.
On the mater of appointments no
one can deny that Governor Wilson
has made grevious errors, but we do not
believe any man in like position. un-
der like circumstances, could have
done half so well. In great major
ity of the cases where complaint has
been found with the appointments
made it was a choice between evils
and there were factors and elements
entering into the matters that caused
the governor to act as he did about
which the public and evn the polite
ians who are protesting aid no know
ledge whatever.
The time has now come when those
who know the true situation in New
Jersey, who have personal know
ledge of the real conditions, political
and governmental, and who have the
sense and the tact should go to Wash.
ington and to Baltimore and set the
delegates and the members Of con
gress RICH. The democratic party
cannot afford to nominate weak man
in the presence of great man on the
grounds that are being advanced al
this time. There is something al
stake besides merely crawling oveI
