Ih-ogressivc Republican Leaders Expect Great Things From To-Day's Meeting. BOOM FOR LA FOLLETTE Politicians From Over Country Will Assist in Its Formal Launching. (Special to The Times - Dispatch. ] Washington. D. C October 15.?Pro? gressive Republican leaders from all parts of the country will assemble In Chicago t?-morrow und formulato plans fur the defeat of President Taft for renomlnutluu a.; Kandidat? of his parly In 1012. While the call which went out sev? eral weeks ago to the Progressives of the putty to meet In Chicago did not say In pluln language that the conference was designed to further the presidential candidacy of Senator La Kollette, ol Wisconsin, every Insur? gent politician recognized In It a move? ment to nominate the Senator. This meeting will be attended by La Follettc supporters only. Those Senutors who followed La Pollutte III the last two sessions of Congress will dominate it, and the other Progres? sives will follow their lead. It is rea? sonable tu expect, therefore, that to? morrow's gathering will give thu La I'ollcltc boom nation-wide scope AmonK Ibr Lender*. Olfford Plnchot, who led the rebel? lion aguinsl the Tuft-Bulllnger con? servation policy; Louis Braudels, of Boston, who was I'lnchol'h attorney; Rudolph SprccklCB, of hau I'raticltco. a multi-millionaire; Mcdlll McCormlvk, of Chicago, former publisher of the Chicago 'tribune.

In all, about 500 Insurgents are lookod for. and a national organization of La Follette forces will be the result. When the organization Is perfected an appeal to the voters of the party and to State organizations will be made. The cry will be renewed with greater force than ever that the Presi? dent could not possibly be re-elected If nominated, therefore It would bo folly for the party to plucc him at the head of the ticket. This probably will bo the keynote of the conference. L'pon this theory the Progressives expect to gain strength throughout the South and Last, as well as through? out the West. Whether or not they can command enough votes In the convention seriously to embarrass the reactionaries of their party, of course, i email. to be seen.

Incident? ally, they chose a time just us the President's Western trip was coming to an end to launch their movement. SEEKING SOLOMON'S GRAVE I'nrker Expedition Again I.eaven Kng Innd for Jerusalem.

TAKES PRELATES TO TASK Senator Bourne Sn>s They Ignored Benson nnd Experience. Washington, October 15. Senator Jonathan Bourne, Jr. president of the National Progressive Republican League, in a statement to-day, took to task Cardinal Gibbons und Arch? bishop Ireland for their criticism of tlic Initiative, referendum and recall, as practiced In Oregon. The Senutor declared that both rea? son and experience were Ignored by the two prelates In their use of the words 'mob law' und 'mobocrucy' in describing the Oregon system. "Mobs act under the sudden impulse Of anger, fear or hutred." says tho , statement. "Mob action Is ubsolutc 1 ly Impossible under the Initiative or ! referendum, because there Is not less | than four months of discussion before u vote can be taken, it is *ilso Im? I possible under the recall, because the I recall cannot be invoked until peti? tions have been circulated and signed by at least 25 per cent, of Ihe voters. This takes weeks and gives the widest publicity. Then the recall election cannot i,e held within less than twen? ty days after filing the petition. Vot? ing under such circumstances cannot be mob action. "Nine year's experience In Oregon demonstrates that the initiative refer ! endum and recall are not Injurious to any personal right or legitimate prop , erty Interest." ' a,;.. : . ? " : ? .'

BURROUGHS ADDING MACHINE COMPANY Telephone Monroe 1678 MUTUAL ASSURANCE BUILDING of His Eminence's personality, his in? fluence, his American spirit, the cardi? nal on church and state, on political morality, his books and his attitude un liberalism. "God meant him for a leader," said the archbishop of Cardinal Gibbons. "He could not speak as your pastor only, O Catholic people of Maryland, ns cardinal, primate of the American hierarchy, as bishop ot the national capital, he belongs to the whole coun? try. Many indi->? listen to him as, to ihe voice o> religion; for prejudice disarms when the cardinal speaks. He. more than any other amongst us, iliaa directed the course of Catholicism In our land. But, above all, he has ex? pressed most truly and most clearly the Catholic thought and sentiment of America and thereby crystallized them. "His love of country, spontaneous In Its origin, has become through reflec? tion and experience the fixed principle of a mature mind., and close observa? tion of conditions here and abroad has but Intensified Oils love. ? ? ? um America's best gift to her children he has held to be religious liberty. Wo understand its meaning In this coun? try, at least most of us do; It is still written on our hearts as well as on our statute books. Nothing Is morn precious to us, as Americans, and us Catholics; and Cardinal Gibbons, who Is best known here and abroad for his utterances on religious liberty, speaks not for himself only, but for us all. Iteligion here is untramtnelod, thanks to our separation of church and state, am) whatever the future may bring, we would desire no change here in the relations of church and slate. That is one lesson, surely, taught us by European history and bitterly driven home by the events of our day. No meddling official has a veto power over our preaching. No bureaucrat, more or less hostile to religion, draws up a list of names from which our bishops are chosen. The civic rights of our church are intrenched In our con? stitution and upheld by the power m the state. On the frlendllosl terms, neither has any desire for a closer union. The church iure knows t;iat It can better do Its work apart; |t Is freer and therefore more powerful, and being unpaid by tho state, and inde? pendent, It can uphold law and order without giving to any one an excuse to suspect Its motives." "Civic righteousness," the prelate continued, "bus always been u favorite topic with the cardinal. Wisely avoid? ing questions of party politics, he had rightly regarded civic duties as a mat? ter of morality, anil therefore of reli? gion. He has tried to rouse the con? science of men, otherwise good, whu have a sof t-na tured toleration for pub? lic dishonesty, and he ha-CvlgofcVusly denounced our wide deflections from tho true Ideals of citizenship." l or Social Justier. Of the countless movements that the cardinal has been besieged with foi aid. the most pressing, the. most diffi? cult problems which have confronted him, the archbishop said, concerned so? cial Justice, 'ills masterly paper on j the Knights of Labor, written a quar? ter of a'century ago," the archbishop went on, "shows his linn control of the chief elements of the general problem t nnd the attitude which he considered ! Imposed by the situation upon tho church and her clergy. His office as ' tho cardinal co>*t4ved it was to modi ate between the classes by tracing the main lines of the solution and by fast? ening tlie temper in which differences may be calmly and umlcably discussed. Accordingly he contended energetically for the right of lubor to urgunl.se; this was essential. In view of Diu Organi? zation of capital, and was the only means of obtuinlug JuatJ.ee. Skillet' labor has been completely organized since that lime; to-day we havu.thu two great urgunized powers, Which hold us all ut their mercy, confronting each other. The cardinal long ago foresaw the situation, and was one of the first and strongest advocates of the only possible solution, which is compulsory arbitration. Skilled labor in tills country to-day is In general able to obtain Justice, and sometimes, no doubt oversteps the line, it Is in the hum? ble ranks of labor that there aro still crying injustices, and 4he cardinal, while- carefully avoiding agitation, haa pointed out the evils and endeavored to foster a spirit of Justice and char? ity." Taking up the subject of ?'Liberal? ism," Archbishop Blonk said; ''The per? fect poise of the cardinal's view, the complete absence of unything which may bo called bigotry, huve only mado him see all the more clearly a snare of the Evil One in that spirit which vaunts Itself as liberalism, the easy indifference to dogma, the boastful su? periority to creeds. It Is spreading like a poisonous vapor and withering definite beliefs which arc the life of religion. To this spirit he lias always. In book. In sermon. In discourse, op posed the Catholic creed and the Cath? olic Church, in n word, modern lib? eralism has over appeared to Cardinal Cihbon.s as untight but the ever chang? ing views of men. and In Its stead he has offered to America, as subject to its spell, the unchanging revelation of God declared unfalteringly to every age by the Church of Home. "Non-C?tholic America, we know full well, would welcome a Catholicism divorced from Rome, but our union with the church of the unfailing prom Ilses Is our glory and our Strength. The Ch ;rch of America, through this [union, is a living member of that body whose head Is Christ; without It. like any other church; she would resolve into a swarm of contradictory and mu? tually destructive factions. American Catholicism; then. Is unutterably Cath? olic and Kornau, and, as the cardinal ] has loved to repeat, there exists always the most perfect harmony between loy? alty to our country and loyalty to our i liurch."
