GIVES ms TENSION PAPAL SECRETARY TALKS OF THE INCIDENT. Pope Demanded Assurance That the ex-PresIdent Would Not Visit the Hateful Methodists. A dispatch from Rome aays now that Mr. Roosevelt has made public the documents which the Vatican had considered confidential, Cardinal Merry del Val, Papal Secretary of Stale, wishca the entire talatory of the negotiations for the audience, which the former President sought of Pope Plus X to be known. Car dinal Merry del Val is credited with the responsibility for the Vatican's part In the matter, and the following may be accepted as his version: “Following the exchanges Between Mgr. Kennedy and American Ambas sador Lelshman and Mr. Roosevelt’s decision not to be received under the terms Imposed, John Gallon O'Lough- lin, who was assistant Secretary of State in 1909, and a personal friend of Mr. Roosevelt, called upon Cardi nal Merry del Val, bearing an intro duction from Mgr. Falconlo, Apostol ic delegate In the United States. Im mediately after being introduced to the presence of the Cardinal Mr. O'Loughlln said: " ‘I do not come In the name of Mr. Roosevelt, but on my own ac count, as an American Catholic."” Cardinal Merry del Val said “Then what are we here for. It Is useless to discuss the matter. If you do not represent Mr. Roosevelt you cannot make any arrangement or speak tor him.’*' 1 Mr. O’Loughlln replied: “What I consider Important Is to tell your eminence that If the two dispatches sent by Mgr. Kennedy are retracted, I can assure you that Mr. Roosevelt will accept your audience.” Cardinal Merry del Val said. “I will not discuss Mr. Roosevelt’s right, but give me confidential as surance that de facto, Mr. Roosevelt will not go to the Methodists and the audience will occur." IMr. O'Loughlln refused to give this assurance. The Cardinal then said: “Mr. Roosevelt Is free to go to the Methodists and do whatever he chooses, but the Pontiff Is certainly free not to receive a man who would claim the right to Insult him on the day after having been received by him or perhaps on the same day, as. according to your statement he may leave Rome on the same day of the Papal audience, thus having only be tween Noon and evening Tuesday In which to see the Methodists. "It Is of little consequence wheth er he 1b a Catholic, Protestant, Is raelites or Buddhist. All religions persons merit the same esteem.- The Important thing Is to be honest and sincere. So far as the form of be lief Is concerned I believe that all honest people will be always on good terms with G«od.'’ MADE BIG CM m » mase Trawl t( hklk Fcdsf Seem to be Afiiast (be Bytofcm NEGRO LAWYERS OBJECT.

Result of City Elections in Illinois, Oklahoma, Wisconsin, Connecticut and Missonri Indicate a Htrong Feeling Against the Republican in Favor Of the Democrats. Returna from forty of the fifty cities of the first class in Oklahoma which held election Tuesday Indi cate large Democratic gains. With posalMy six exceptions, the Republi cans either tost control of city coun cils or were heavier losers than in former years. At Hartford, Conn.,, for the first time In six years the Democrats elect ed a mayor when their candidate de feated the Republican candidate, who was up for reeleetlon by a majority of 360. The remainder df the Re publican ticket was elected by small majorities. The Democrats won a sweeping victory In Chicago. They gained a majority In the city council for the first time In several years. Of the 35 aldermen chosen, the Democrats elected 21, the Republicans 12 and the Independants 2.. Social Democrats led by Emil Sled- el, candidate for mayor, swept Mil waukee in the municipal election by approximately 8,000 votes, the larg est plurality of any party in any similar contest In the history of the city. At. Jefferson City, Mo., the Demo crats elected four out of five coun- cllmen with a tie vote tor the fifth. They also carried Governor Hardley's ward which heretofore has gone Re publican. At 8t. Joseph, Mo., Alvah P. Clay ton, Democrat, was elected mayor of the city by 2,504 votes over his Re publican opponent, who was running on a strict law enforcement plat form. In the city eelctlons In Montana Demlocratlc and Independent candi dates were wnerally successful, though party lines were not closely drawn. PREACHER 18HLK8 STATEMENT. Says the Methodists Are Not in Tills Case. At Cincinnati, Ohio, Bishops Earl Cranston and John Wale Walden, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, com menting sharply on the Vatican's position regarding Col. Roosevelt's abandoned visit. Bishop Cranston said: "It seems that the Vatican accepts nothing short of absolute submission, including the yielding up of one's social privileges and religious and patriotic fellowships. “Americanism Is worth more to the world than Papal assumption, and It is the spirit of Americans that la now again put under ban by the Pope. No honeyed words for the nubile can change that fact. The Methodists are not In this ease." Bishop Walden said that two mon umental blunders had been commit ted by the present Pope. He declar ed that Pope I^o was “far too wise to have been guilty of the errors of Pope Plus.” “But," he added, “it Is not. atfer nil the Methodist Church which has its bristles out, but the Roman Cath- •lic church. Th>' Methodist church has not been Injured in the least. We are more used to the Insults and attacks of Rome, perhaps, than any Tther denomination, owing to the fact that we have been active in many rountrks which are peculiarly Ro man. It is our success which hsi aroused Rome and made her lift her bristles. If we had not been successful: If Methodism was not a vital, powerful force where we have planted It, we would hear nothing from Rome.” Hays the Pope is the Bitter Foe of Freedom. Rev B. M. Tipple, pastor of the American Methodist church In Rome, after being received by Mr. Roose velt, Issued a statement expressing the greatest satisfaction that the ex- Presldent did not have an audience with the Itope. "While the work of Methodism In Rome,” says the statement, “started the rumpus. It Is no longer Metho dism or any other ism, but the great principle of toleration. Mr. Roose velt has struck a blow for twentieth century Christianity.” “The representative* of two great Republic* have been the ones to put the Vatican where It belongs. Presi dent Loubet refused to accede to Vatican conditions, and now Mr Fairbanks and Mr. Roosevelt come to maintain the same dignity and inde- pendance of American manhood In the face of Vatican tyranny. "The Vatican is incompatible with Republican principles This Is a bit ter dose for patriotic Catholics In America to swallow. I wonder how many doses of this sort they will lake before they revolt? is Catholic-, Ism in America to be American or Romish, If Romish, then every pa triotic American should rise to crush it, for Roman Catholicism is the un compromising foe of freedom. "After the Fairbanks episode the Methodists never dreamed that the Vatican would commit a similar blun der with Mr. Roo*evelt. That It has done, so Is added proof that the pol icy prevailing there is the same yes terday, today and forever. The Vat ican Is the Vatican. The world ad vances, but the Vatican never. “Americans can now better under stand how It Is that the Roman Church has lost_France and is losing Spain and Austria.” 2 Interference in the Matter of I*ink Franklin’s Appeal to the Hupremc Court. In a statement Issued Wednesday from (Manning by John Adams, one of the roegro attorneys In the Pink Franklin case, It is denied that Ex- Attorney General Boanaparte of the United States has aided in the prep aration of the case. The statement has not been signed or approved by Jacob Moorer of Orangeburg, Adams' associate counsel. The following Is the statement that was given out as the result of the story carried by the Associated Press with regard to the Franklin case. “From newspaper reports for the past month it would appear to the public that the Franklin case has been turned over to ex-Attorney Gen eral Bonaparte. Such an impression is an injustice to the two colored lawyers who have rup the case for the last three years and should be cornected. “The only lawyers of authority In this case are John Adams and Jacob Moorer, and absolutely all the work done in the case up to this time has been accomplished by them. The brief filed by Mr. Bonaparte in the case has not been considered nor seen by„ Franklin’s lawyers. From what I can glean from the papers the race question is made a part of Mr* Bonaparteis brief and this will by no means be allowed in the case. We have not carried this case to the supreme court as a n°- gro case but as that of a citizen of South Carolina. “The brief that has been filed by John Adams and Jacob Moorer is a discussion of cold principles of law and In no manner seeks sympathy because Franklin Is a negro. The law is wrong and we say so. “The premature announcem^it and employment of Mr. Bonaparte is the work of a few over hot-headed n 1 - groes of Philadelphia who have ab solutely no authority to take any step In the work. “If the Franklin case works any credit to the defendant, Franklin and the negro race It will be the work of two negro lawyers, John Adama and Jacob Moorer. If Mr. Bonaparte appears in the case it will be done after a thorough agreement with the original lawyers and up to this time we haw not agreed to any thing.” CONDUCTOR BALKED BOBBERS. He Knocked One Down and the Oth er l*romptly Fled. An unsuccessful attempt was made early Friday morning to hold up the Pioneer Limited on the Chicago. Mil waukee and St. Paul railway, be tween Tomah and Oakdale. Wis. The robbery was frustrated through the oourage of Conductor Shumway. As the conductor stepped from the buffet car on to the platform of the sleeper, two masked men sprang up from the edge of the platform and thrusting revolvers into his face, de manded that he throw up his han .'s Shumway promptly struck one of the men down with his lantern and as passengers l>egan to crowd to the door of the buffet car the two high waymen leaped from the train and fled. Shot after shot was fired after them, but presumably without effect as when the train was brought to a stop and search was made by a has tily formed posse no trace could be found on the men. little Baby Shoes] Vt> read a atory a abort time ago bf aome men that were overhauling some household gooda that had been stored a long time, in fact such a long time that tbe identity of the owner or ownt?ra had been lost. They were tossing the thinga about Ir. a careless manner until when th-owlng a small box aside it oame open and out rolled a pair of baby’s shoes fol lowed by some tiny ribbons and wear ing apparel. The men all atopped work and looked at the package In silence. One man quietly stooped down and picked thiem up and one J}y one restored the articles to the box and again fastened It. It called to his mind a little pair'of baby shoes which were safely tucked away In a drawer al home, he and hts wife had placed there many years ago. While doing this a silent tear trickled down his cheek as he thought of the missing one and what perhaps those pair of little shoes and baby relics meant to the mother and fath er, who had packed them away so tenderly and treasured them so high ly. it might have been those worn by an absent daughter or son, who had perhaps gone away, done well or bad and forgotten the old folks and mom* .v&peclally the mother, or father had never for a minute banished them from minds. It might have been all of the remem brance of an erring son or daugh ter. They were dear to their parents and this father's heart turned to the absent ones, as he thought of his own and packed them away again.

Carriages without horse shall go. And accidents fill thA? world with woe. Around the world thoughts shall fly, In the twinkling of an eye. Waters shall more wonders do, Now strange, yet shall be true, The world upsidedown shall be, And gold be found at root of tree. Through hills man shall ride, And no horse nor ass be at his side. Under water men shall walk. Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk. In the air men shall be seen; In white, in black, In green. Iron in the water shall float As easy as a wooden boat. Gold shall be found mid stone. In a land that's now unknown. Fire and water shall wonders do, England at last admit a Jew; And this world to an end shall come In eighteen hundred and eighty-one. It will be noticed that Mother Ship- ton predicted the Invention of the automobile, the telegraph, the sub marine boat, flying machines, and Iron Iwats, none* of which were in ex istence when her prophecy was writ ten But she made a bad miss as to the world coming to an end. This however, is one subject that has fooled a great many prophets and we will have to excuse Mother Ship- ton. UNCLE SAM’S COOK BOOK. / . • Will Be Sent to Any One Free Who Will Order it at Once. Uncle Sam is getting things down fine. He has issued a “Cook Book” from the agricultural department. However, tt appear as “Farmer’s Bulletin 291“ by which title it can be ordered free of charge. It will be sent to anyone who will drop a card to the Agricultural Department at Washington, D. C., for “Farmer's Bulletin, 391.’’ It was prepared by C. F. I.ang- worthy, Ph. D., and Caroline L. Hunt, A. B., experts in nutrition in connection with the experiment sta tions. The bulletin contains tables of the composition of different kinds and cuts of meats. In water, proteins, fats, otc., and presents a scientific treatise on digestion and the texture and flavor and direstive qualities of different cuts, and on the methods of cooking meats. One may be Inclined to laugh, but if there is one thing that people need Instruction upon it is in the matter of cooking. If this Is pa ternalism one must admit that It Is form of It that one can swallow. In all probability Uncle Sam will Is sue other bulletins telling how to prepare pastries, vegetables and oth er dishes and they will not hit a lick amiss. The book gives instruc tion in relation to the econimleal use of meats in the home and no doubt much can be learned from It.

Hass Butler, colored, was hanged at Pickens Friday for attempting to commit an assault on a white lady some months ago. Th^ day befotl? he was hung he made a full confes sion. His neck was broken by the fall and death was almt>«t instantan eous. There was a idg crowd in town and around the jail during the hanging. Everyone serms to be sat-, isfled that justice has been done. It will be remembered that he attempt ed a criminal assault on a young lady one year ago, by slipping in her window at night. The lady had wbotoping cougdi, and when he put his hands on her she waked up and began to cough. That scared him and he jumped out of the window, and she recognized his as he went out of the window. The moon was shining brightly. Butler lived on her father s plantation. * Weather Breeders. Most sections of the country have had an unusually fine March. Warm, genial sunshine and absence of high winds have been in pleasant contrast to the average March weather. Yet there are people who have not got any real pleasure out of the beautiful weather nor lateen advantage of It to get a proper amount of out door work done. And all because they have loudly proclaimed that the line days and nights were a “weather hr* eder.’' What if such conditions had prov ed a “weather breeder," what good would worrying over It have done? It could not have changed the weath er in even thte smallest degree. Meteriological conditions are not in the least affected by our disposition. It simply goes to show what a lot of unnecessary trouble some people do briug upon themst Ives. That same tendency is seen when other matters besides “weather breeders" are oon- <i rned and it simply means that there are a lot of persons in this world who seem to enjoy making themsel ves miserable. That may seem a contradiction but it is a fact all the same. Instead of anticipating trou ble, much of which npver comes, let everyone instead of fretting and hav ing gloomy forebodings, get the best good out of ail the pleasant things that life affords us.

'Calling President Taft a “hot sup per artist,” R. D.

What we hoped for was a man on the job and not a president chasing around to. act as a sideshow for a baseball game, a promoter of golf, a hot sup per artist. Thole country Is tired of it.” We fully , agree with Mr. Andrews. President Taft has been a disappointment to the whole coun try.

The* inevita ble result will be a fight to a finish for the toga of Senator Lodge. Lodgi 0 will be a candidate for re-election when the next legislature assembles. To insure his eUection, the organiza tion must nominate reactionary can didates for the legislature.
