THE JEFFERSONIAN

in the public school. The learned and amabIe
Cardinal Gibbons gave out interview several
years ago against the five greatest evils Of
America. He failed to mention the liquor traffic,
but specified 1.-The public schools. Romanists,
from pope to priest, have condemned our public
school system and asserted that the Catholic
church, not the State, should control education.
Catholic parents violate the rules of the church
when they send their Children to the public
schools. IF the public school is fit for the
Catholic teacher, why isn't it fit for the Catholic
pupil?''
A food of Catholic literature has reached me
in the last ten days. | am amazed at the mum
Der and ingenuity Of their papers and tracts for
propaganda They interesting chiefly for
their peryersions Of facts They insist upon
tolerance as the spirit and practice of the
Catholic church Romanism tolerant Why,
when Garibaldi and Vavour established a eonsti-
tuition, under which Episcopalians, Methodists,
Baptists, Presbyterians and Maldensians could
build churches in Rome and worship according to
their own convictions, Pope Benedict filled with
rage and reviled the Protestants as robbers"
devils" "emissaries of hell" That is the spirit
Of the mild and unerrng pope. You would not
use such language about any man, no matter
what his religion or attitude towards you. This
twaddle about tolerance" IS intended to lull
America into a false security. Have you forgot
ten how the Vatican was scandalzed because Mr..
Fairbank, after calling upon the pope, visited
the Methodist mission, which belonged to his own
denomination? Do you not remember how Mr..
Roosevelt insoently asked to promise not to
visit the Methodist mission before he could see
the pope, and how he Indignantly refused the UNI
press dispatches that the Episcopal bishop Of
Baltimore, who in Rome with letters OF in
PRODUCTION from Cardinal Gibbons and others,
was refused an audience because the pope could
not recognize any other religion than his own
That is tolerance with vengeance!

secretary, Tom Paine, stated the exact opposites
OF the Catholic teaching in the preamble to the
Declaration OF independence. Did not Cardinal
Manning say, mo pledge is of any binding force
to which Rome is not party?' Does not the
priests oath declare the pope ''has the power to
depose heretical kings, princes, states common
Wealths and governments, all being ilIegal with
out his sacred confirmation, and that they may
be safety destroyed" Tell me why there are
patrlouc rings within the churdch' ring if
Romanism is loyal to American ideals? Why
does this foreign monarchy have it's imperial
secret service and it's diplomatic agencies in the
United States? My friends, the hierarchy believes
firmly in the decree of the council of Trent, that
all temporal power belongs to the pope, and that
the government of the whole earth is his by divine
right. All rulers Of the earth his subjects and
must submit to him. True Americans hold that
all just government rests upon the consent of
the governed. The papacy declares it is the rep
resentative of God and the supreme ruler of the
world. These ideas are incompatible. "Ye can
not serve two masters"
Gladstone made profound study of Ro-
manlsm, and his book on the Vatican de-
cress demonstrates conclusively that the
English Catholic is of divided alegi-

MEXICAN DISPUTE
Conference Arranged for Agreement
Between Two Countries.

h, Negotiations have been started here
booking to . complete adjustment of
all pending disputes between the
United States and Mexico.
With the arrival in Washington Of
Henry p. Fletcher, the American
Ambassador at Mexico City. arrange
ments have been made for a series
of exchanges between the two gov
ernments that, it is hoped, will COM
pletely restore amicable relations.
Hope Is expressed in certain official
quarters that Mexico may even be
weaned away from her position of
neutrality in the present war and
lined up on the side Of the United
States and the allies.
The American end Of the negotia-
tions will be handled by Secretary
Lansing himself, assisted by
Mr.. Fletcher who will probably re-
main in Washington for the next
two weeks. Mexico will be repre-
scented in the conferences by Ygna-
clio BoniHas, the Mexican Ambas-
sador to the United States.
Behind these specific matters, how
ever. are larger and more far-reach-
ing questions. The United States
and the allies both need Mexican
oil. There is trouble in the TampicO
oil regions. This trouble, Ambassa-
dor Fletcher informed President Will
son and Secretary Lansing, has been
IInade worse by the circulation Of mis-
hchievous reports. emanating from
mysterious sources in Washington.
that the United States and Great
Britain are about to intervene at
Tampico.
German agents, who are scattered
broadcast through Mexico. It was
explained, are quick to seize upon
the false reports and have stirred
up new antagonisms against the
United States. Poems have been told
hat the United States is trying to
starys out Mexico.
The entire situation Is admitted to
he one requiring careful handling.
Officials are hopeful, however, that
far-reaching results will be accom-
pIished.
