A CATHOLIC CONSPIRACY
Editorial in The New York Evening Post.

President Wilson's reply to the edi-
tor of The Protestant Magazine, who
had accused Mr. .Tumulty of keeping
back from the president i-Catholic
correspondence addressed to him, sug-
gests more than it directly expresses.
1t involves the whole relation Of a
president to his private secretary. 1t
also brings up again the question, Of
undue influence of Catholics in politics.
AS respects the latter question, there
is. nc doubt. a considerable public sem
timent which is suspicious and ever
ready to grasp at straWs. This is part
ly an inherited tradition with certain
people. Bred in tina idea that the
Church of Rome has a %sleepless deter
American republic or to obtain control
Of it, they naturally are on the alert
to detect signs that their fears are JUS
titled. Private Secretary Tumulty is a
Catholic. Letters written to the presi-
dent exposing Catholic plots had not
been answered. Therefore, it was per-
fectly clear that, as the editor of The
letters are withheld from you (the
president) by your private secretary,
Mr.. Tumulty'. ,
This particular assertion is denied
by the president with emphasis.
Speaking from personal knowledge, he
declares that the Whoie or my CORE
~spondence is constantly open to me-,
and that intimation that Mr.. Tumulty
had suppressed anything relating to
the activities of the Roman Catholic
church" was "absurdly and utterly
false. This ought to dispose of the
Protestant EDITORS charge, but we
have no doubt that the thing will per-
sist, in one form or another. If any
body ever sees a priest in Mr.. Tumul-
TVS rnffipp If will ffn a npnnfnI nc ~prooR
positive of a Catholic conspiracy
against the life of the nation.
AS a matter of fact, we believe that
Catholic. priests were somewhat FREE
quent callers upon MI. Tamulty dur
ing the first weeks OF his service at
washington. This was the occasion Of
the remark by a newspaper corre-

PHILIPPINES Plans,

Buffalo Express: One of the politi-
cal parties in the Philippines has pass
ed resolutions asking for independence
under the protectorate of the United
States. The fact that the natives like
the United States well enough to de-
sire to remain under it's protection is
noteworthy. They did not feel that
way in the early days Of American
rule.
Speaker Clark has proposed that
treaties be negotiated declaring the
Philippines neutral territory. immune
from attack in time of war, and that
this status be maintained until the
United States makes them independent.
Such treaties would be an attempt to
put the islands under a sort of world
protectorate. The trouble with the plan
is that in time of war treaties between
combatant nations are in allegiance.

Pinchot's CITIZENSHIP.

Sioux City Tribune: When reaction
airy newspapers Of Pennsylvania assert
Clifford Pinchot is not a Pennsylvania
and should not be elected United States
senator from that state to succeed
Penrose, they mean he is not saturat-
ed with that corruption and bowed
down with that ~servility to corporate
greed that has distinguished the men
who have represented Pennsylvania in
the senate for so many years. No
better perspective of the low estate
into which Pennsylvania politics has
fallen could be afforded than the can
did view of the republican organs of
that state that no man who is indie
pendent of railroad, textile trust and
Standard Oil domination is entitled to
citizenship in that state.

Question for tho JUDGE.

Sioux City Journal: An Indiana
judge, in refusing to grant a divorce,
says in order to get back to decent liv-
ing we must abolish dancing, automo-
biles, slit skirts, matinees, telephones
and cafes. Wonder if the Judge has
any theory as to what corrupted Sod
ON and Gormorrah, gave US the licen-
tious courts of the Louis X, and caused
Hawthorne to locate his Scarlet Let
ter in the primitive Puritan comrnuni-
ty? Certainly these were before the
devilish contraptions that seem to be
the foundation Of his Judgment.

The question of a farmers telephone
line is again in the air, says The Am
brose Newsman. Now that there is
a doctor at Westby. and that also
is our market and trading point,
it would be very convenient to have a.
line. 1t would also be handy for those
near the mail route to phone their
orders to the business men and get
goods by parcel post. We believe thir-
ty-ive subscribers to a Westby-Fer-
tile line could be readily gotten and
by putting in a few branch lines. many
more could get benefit from the serv-
ice.

journey into the northern ATTITUDES.
But to the laymsn the arrival of
sprinGtime is heralded by other
events The vanishing snow. the
fresh showers; the returning birds,
and the first blossoms are the usual
signs of spring. Judged by these in
dications the coming OF spring is this
year a trifle later than usuaIprob-
ably a week or two. The snow dis
appeared a short lime ago and several
spring showers have already visited
this region. Many birds have also re-
turned; including among others, the
robin. red-bird. blue-bird. oriole,
meadow lark and yellow hammer.
The maple and elm were found in
bloom about the first of April. Trees.
