WOODROW WILSON.

WOODROW WILSON.
The following statement Of Woodrow Wilson
has often been quoted in Catholic papers since
It's author became a national figure indicative
OF the fairness of~the New Jersey Governor:
mo society is renewed from the top; every
society is renewed from the bottom. 1 can give
you an illustration concerning that that has
always interested profoundly. The only rea-
son why government did not suffer dry rot in
the Middle Ages under the aristocratic systems
which governed them, that the who
the efficient instruments of government
were drawn from the Church, from that great
Church body which distinguish from
other church bodies the Roman Catholic
Church.
'"The Roman Catholic Church then, as now,
a great democracy. There no peasant
so humble that he might mot become priest
and priest obscure that he might not
become the Pope of Christendom.

Ages this constant rise of sap from the bot

Why doesn't The Irish World fight our
dear nominee fairly?
Woodrow Wilson is scholar, and he
therefore knows that the Papacy is not
democratic.
He knows that the Pope appoints the
Cardinals, and that the Cardinals elect the
Pope.
Nothing is elective in the Romanist church.
Everything is app0tntive.
The people have no voice whatever in the
Roman Catholic church.
Woodrow Wilson knows this, and there"
fore he cannot have said that the Romanist
church is a democracy.
In democracy, power starts at the bottom,
and goes to the top.
In the Roman hierarchy, power starts at
the top, and goes to the bottom.
The Pope "is Christ, yelled in the fesh,''
and his infallible word is law, which all his
children must obey.
In democracy we say that the voice of the
people is the voice of God and that all gov
eminent is of the people, by the people, and
for the people.
Could anything be more antagonistic to an
infallible Pope, governing the whole world,
as God yelled in the flesh?
Such scholar as Woodrow Wilson could
not have said that the Romanist church pre-
served liberty in the Middle Ages.

peffdent democracies which kept alive the

Mr.. Windle says:

/ less than nothing about the theological
points raised by Mr.. Watson concerning forms
OF worship, rites, robes and ceremonies. I am
interested in one question only: HAS Watson
told the truth?" "Is the Catholic Hierarchy
THE deadliest menace to our Liberties and our
Civilization"
How can man who "cares less than moth
ing about the theological points
forms of worship robes and ceremonies" be
an acceptable champion to the Papa's chill
dren!
Mr.. Wimdle "cares less than nothing" for
the immaculate conception, less than moth
ing for the Blessed Virgin, less than moth
ing for transubstantiation, less than moth
ing for prlestly pardon of sins, less than
nothing for Purgatory, less than nothing for
the keys and the rock, less than nothing for
miracles, less than nothing for papal infalli-
bility.
Is there mey Such thing as "zess than, MOTH
img?" IF so, what is it, and where is it, and
by what process may one become acquainted
with it? [ really would pay a generous
admission fee, to get sight of something
that is "less than nothing"
The phrase has an airily contemptuous
sound.
Mr. Windle "cares less than nothing" for
those things which Roman Catholics hold
most sacred-and yet they eagerly welcome
him as champion. Of what? Their faith
for which he "cares less than nothing"
Verify, they are hard up for an advocate.
For my part, I care vast deal for their
faith, for, in the beginning, it was Christian.
Hundreds of years had to elapse before
paganism, at an Emper0rs command, moved
bodily into the Roman church, bringing
along, as was inevitable, unchanged pagan
hearts, convictions, customs rites and cere-
monies.
1t required centuries, to completely pagan
lie the outward form and the orthodox creed
foreign to so grave a subject.

 The sinews of war furnished to Albert J. Beveridge for his 1901 campaign in In- diana will be the basis of tomorrow's in quiry, and Senator Beveridge himself, as well as the men associated with him in that campaign, have been summoned to appear tomorrow.

ADJUSTMENTS
Madame Sherry"

Bewitching Madame Sherry with it's haunting airs that even the tireless phon- ographs themselves cannot make weari- some, returned to town yesterday and was heard once more at the Jefferson the atre last night.
 Miss Ada Meade, quite as winsome and charming as ever, again appeared in the leading role. The dulcet tones of her voice have lost none of their power to captivate. Miss Meade is admirably equipped for light opera prlma donna. She has voice of excellent quality, snIperbly trained and iexquisitely con trolled, while her graceful dancing and her beauty of face and form make her a most attractive figure as Yvonne Bir- mingham theatregoers seldom enjoy a visit from a star of the stage who is more justly popular than Miss Meade. When she first appeared here she became an instant favorite and the memory of her many graces has fingered in the minds of those who saw her then. It is enough to say that she has deteriorated in no particular and her performance is thoroughly delightful She was cordially recelNed laSt nlBnt ny du duuicHSt= id- miliar with the music and the plot of Madame Sherry"
 In. the company assisting Miss Meade Ben Grnnel continues to play the part of Philippe in true Gallic spirit. His agility and grace as a dancer are re- markable. Harry Stephens presents Ed uoard Sherry in a very acceptable way, while Miss Helen Jessie Moore. blessed with q rich contralto voice. plays the part of Catharine the housekeeper. in a vigorous style like a person who has plenty of vitality. Her ''ragtime songs were extremely wen done. Miss Mae Phelps portrays Pepita in dashing style, She looks the part, acts with Castillian fire and dances gracefully. Hallen Mos tyn, in the dryly humorous impersonation of Theophius Sherry. the rich uncle, was very good. He made his lines bring a laugh every time. Miss Lillian Smalley presented Lulu and Frederick Howard, who seems quite young, took the part of Leonard Gomez.
 The comedy of Madame Sherry wears well. It was surprising how easy it was to laugh at the familiar situations and the quips that everyone knew were forth coming. The early demureness of Yvonne and her rapid sophistication were just as enjoyable as ever and the winsomeness

 One hundred thousand dollars have been spent in repairs since the Hattie" was blown out over a year ago. The machin- cry is working most beautifully, and the output will be as much if not more than it was before the accident. C. T.

Twice as much pig iron has been sold during the past month as has been manufactured, and the market Is stronger than 1t has been for years.
