some short-sighted PrOiessants made
much Of a story 20 The eject that on a
certain visit 10 Rome MT. Roosevelt re
fused 10 visit the pope The facts are
that Roosevelt had Ggrccd 90 attend and
speak az a Methodist church In Rome.
The pope objected and declared that u
Roosevelt recognized the Mcthodisis Of
Rome be could not be received at the
Vatican. Roosevelt submitted % the
pope's d-ctation and failed 10 ON bis
engagement az the Methodist church
and, 10 side-stop the brewing storm, also
/ dodgcd the Vatican. That was all there
was Of bis much mentioned refusal 20
call on the pope"
In striking contrast 70 the action Of
Roosevelt Vas that OF Vice President
Fairbanks who was in Rome az nearly
the same time lie was also informed
that u he went 70 the Methodist mission
he would be denied an audience by tho
pope Mr.. Fairbanks went like . Self.
respecting American 10 the Methodist
mission and delivered his address, patri.
oticaly ignoring the arrogant demands
Of the Vatican.
At all times Mr. Roosevelt has shown
n greater desire for the Roman Catholic
vote than 10 follow a consistent course
as an American citizen. In 1898, at an
Irish papal meeting in Boston, he de.
nounced the American Protective Asso.
citation, at that time a strong ant. papal
organization, in bitter and insulting
language.
More than that, ho repeatedly in.
dulgcd In laudations Of fhe Catholic
Irish. One Of bis favorite expressions
was, al m half Irish myself though
the fact that he is an American OF
Dutch extraction was never mentioned.
These plays were invariably made 10
Catholic Irish, aud il is an unquestioued
fact that he repeatedly went out Of his
way 20 snub the Protestant Irish
And all this attention TO popery was
not without tho desired result. Bishops
and archbishops Of Rome have outdono
themselves in praise Of the man who
gave them all they asked When he went
to South America his closest companion
was the priest, Father Zahm. II Is said
that his private secretary at the pres.
cnt time is a papist bearing tho beauti.
ful and suggestive name, McGrath
The Boston Plot, leading papal organ
Of the United States, which also posed
as a supporter Of the Democratic party

receive Romish support lie had ap.
pointed q majority Of Catholics 10 the
bench Of the Supreme Court Of tho

Philippines q Catholic secretary of edu,
cation which resulted in $500 Catholic
teachers IN the islands out Of a total OF

These are but a few Of the things don,
