Un Col. Roosevelt has made Il a
~ point TO state publicly that he
expected to see Roman Cath

the United States. Notwithstanding the
fact that they are known 20 bear al.
legiance TO a foreign potentate. One
OF the first utterances of'this kind. OF
which there have been many since,
was contained in n verbal message
to the Pope OF Rome. We quote the
language In the following press dis.

The Pope thanked the bishop most
warmly. expressing his great love Tor
the United States and his very highest

the pilgrimages with medals and con-

That Mr.. Roosevelt still holds to
these sentiments, and that he still ex.

presidents is evidenced by an extract
from a speech delivered by him at the
celebration OF Cardinal Gibbons dou-
BILE jubilee. held In Baltimore June G,
1911. In this speech the Colonel said:
While the American people may
differ pmong themselves on Questions

more than dogma-conduct. We read
now and then about people coplplain-

The storsr controyer.Y.


~lRoBABLY the first time that
A Mr.. Roosevelt's dickering with
the Romanists ever came TO
light, in an Official way at least,
was during the Mckinley adminlstra-
tlon and is recollected now as the
Roosey6ltStorer controversy. and Is
best related BY Mrs. Storer herself
In a brief review which she recently
wrote from France regarding the con-
troversy which grew out OF the re-
moval Of Mr.. Storer. as Ambassador
to Austria, In March. 1906, because
the Ambassador had urged the Vati-
can authorities at Rome To make
Archbishop ireland, OF St Paul. a
cardinal. President Roosevelt said,
in bis letter OF December, 1906, that
IL was not true that Mr.. Storer had
been authorized to recommend the
promotion OF the Archbishop;
"As for Mr.. storer's assertion that
ment as he says avs he WAS Was sutsorised gln TO
make TO the Pope. Il IN untrue. / gave
him no such authorization"
Mrs. Storer now publishes two let
ters, written in the latter part Of 1903
by Archbishop Ireland. TO confirm her
assertion that authority was given TO
her husband by the President. At the
beginning OF her letter she says that
ten years ago Mr.. Roosevelt was ap-
parently a devoted and grateful friend

that he himself ought not to accom-
pany the latter in visit to Mr.. Nc

Mr.. Mckinley appointed Mr.. Roose-
welt. Mrs. Storer says. at her hus-
bands request On November 3, 1901.
two months after Mr.. Roosevelt be-
came President. Archbishop ireland
wrote to Mr.. Storer. saying:

Mr.. Roosevelt's popularity among

the last National Republican conven.

fact that for one hour and forty-five

waited upon home rule, but is al
ready working its transformation.
Ireland today is actually more
prosperous than either England
or Scotland.
In journey that has covered
almost all parts of the Emerald
Isle l found very few men out of
work and in many places farm
ers complained that they could
not get sufficient help. More won

ing from Londonderry to Killar-
ney and from Clifden to Dublin II
saw only one-a smiling old
woman whose wit was a tonic
and worth all the silver you gave
her.
The present period of progress
in ireland was inaugurated with
the abolition of landlordism.
Strange to relate, many of the
landlords are not only accepting
gracefully the inevitable, but are
actually getting chummy with
the men who used to shoot at
them. Especially are these rel
formed landlords doing a good
work by contributing their BUSH
ness ability to the management of
the cooperative enterprises which
are springing up all over Ireland.

found in the fact that this is the

The government, under the new
plan, not only allows every farmer
to pay for his land on long

his dwelling and provide barns
and outbuildings. He is even
supplied with a superior grade of

the Irish to abandon the cultivat-l

authorities are bringing from theI

duces credentials bearing the seal
of the Central Labor council.
There is only one official labor
