Rome. March 18. Pope Plus to
day received In private audience Rt
Rev. Thomas O’Gorman. Bishop or
Sioux Falls. S. I)., which is in the
Archdiocese of St. Paul.
During the conversation Pope
Pius said that Archbishop Ireland's
discourse last December on “Church
and State In France” was a strong
presentation of the Franeo-Vntican
conflict.
“Although I know it caused some
displeasure." his Holiness said.
“Archbishop Ireland was correct
ns to the remote causes of the con
flict when he said that *h«* French
clergy and leading Catholics failed
by not following the advice of nij
illustrious predecessor.”
Pope Pius generally praised tin
American episcopate for its stand on
the questjon between France and tin
church. He spoke In the strongest
way concerning the expulsion fron
France of Mgr. Montagnlni, secre
tary of the Papal Nunciature, add
ing:
"Willie under that grief my Hr.’
consolation was a cablegram from
i- America. Guess from whom?” Aftei
a pause his Holiness himself an
swered the question, savin;-,: From
Archbishop Ireland.”
The Pope also spoke of the church
in the Philippine Islands, and com
pared the attitude of the Unite.
States .there with that of Franc
saying that tin* action of the United
States was the way government;
should settle mixed political and re
ligious questions.
His Holiness asked Mgr. O’Oor
man about President Ronsevit and
expressed pleasure to hear that in
was satisfied with the solution ol
the Philippine ques'ion. He i «
requested Mgr. O’Gorman to pr* »u •
his regards to President lion . -it
The Bishop informed Pope pin*
that Mrs. Dougias Rotiinson. of
New York, sister of President Roo
volt, would arrive in Rome derinc
A Holy Week, and requested hi Holi
^ ness to receive her.
The Pontiff answered: “Natur
ally, I shall he delighted. All doors
shall be open to her. You must ac
company her.’
After his audience with the Pope
Mgr. O’Gorman visited Cardinal
Merry del Val. the Papal Secretai
of State, in his new apar'merit md
congratulated him, saying: “Yon
left art behind, but got into com
fort.”

been stolen from the Hay Meadows
arm of his father I 1 days ago.
While searching the outskirts of

abducted. The ramp Is only a few*
hundred feet, from the haystack
where the hoy was last seen, and Is:
k( reened from sight of the farmhouse|

a parallel line with the mound of

following the movements of a boat
which they believed to he the mys

Uev. A. H. Boreeford. pastor of the
llnlvcrsallst Church, Cullford avenue
and Eanvulo street. Baltimore, dis
coursed lust eveenlug upon the
••Passing of Dowle, Elijah III." In
part, ho said:.
The Cngllostro of our age has
passed to his Judgment. ‘Clay, clay,
clay and not very noble day nt that.’
are the words written hy the mystic
lingers of fate upon the wall of his
tory as Its verdict upon John Alex
ander Dowle. self-styled Ellljah Ml.
What are the lessons to ho learned
from that spectacular career?
"John Alexander worked upon the
superstition and greedy Ignorance of
his age. Me worked with the skill
of a great” Intellect and the daring!
of a great captain. He was a spec- J
taeniar showmnn by Instinct, In far
lower Helds and with base motives
he was the p T. Barnum of his
epoch, ms show won iho support-!
lug interest of thousands nnd the'
curious attention of the world.
"That he was no common man his
temporary success attests. Ills suc
eeess also reveals the somber truth of
Puck’s sardonic comment upon men,
•\Vhnt fools those mortals he!'
"He claimed to he the third inanl-J
festal Ion of Elijah, assuming to ho
sent, of (Sod In the spirit and power
of t ho romantic prophet of Isreal 1
Was he? Men dearly love mystery.
and strong character with unblush
ing effrontery win their credence. I
Tint he a true prophet, would he'
not see Into the future assuming
that ho would gamble and not lose,
as Howlo did, the eneormous sum ofj
$1,200,000? Prophets should he
made of better stuff.
"He claimed to he a divine bonier; '
his Chicago church had Its walls or
namonted with crutches, trusses, eye-'
glasses, pipes and tobacco rases, all
testifying to his power to heal bodily
Infirmities and break the chain of
evil habits. That many of these
were genuine there can he no doubt; I
the power of the mind under strong
excitement Is fnrrenchlng. That
Dowlo had the power to excite the
latent enoorgloH of the mind hv his'
‘mngneflc force’ or, by mental con-'
tnrt, communicate his own ‘belief’
and so work ‘faith’ cures there Is
some reason to suspect. This faith-1
cure business was probably the on1v:
reality In bis whole scheme. Ft was
♦he key that unlocked the door for
Ills other successes. Ft seemed to the I
ecstatic believer to Invest the modern
Klljah with divine attributes and
capabilities.
“As Dowle was not himself |r»
miine from disease, we see that there
Is a limit to tIn? power of faith cure
He himself Is dead. Ho died while
delirious of dropsy and a cerebral
hemorrhage. Body and mind both
have their limits. Be not deceived; i
Ood is not mocked. I
"Man Is made for freedom, not
to pass his soul and body over to
the care and dictation of a Divine.
Man was made to follow reason and
not to he swayed by crazes and tom -1
pests of frenzied feelings. Man l»
made to live a rational life In obed
Ionco to a rational fnPh. Man Is to
divest himself of greed and thirst
for power over souls.

Ills passing nnd Fils fall have taught
men these lessons"

When the last Issue of The Trades
man wont to press the reasons for
rejecting all hlds on tho Panama
canal contract luul not boon given
to th* public, and we reserved any
further criticism that wo might reel
tfic Caere ’<ed until those reas
ons should appear
!' 'sklent Roosevelt has given the
reason which ho claims Influenced
him and the Commission lu rejecting
all hkls, hut the public Is far from
being satisfied with them. In fact
It wand have boup Inflnltey men* to
the credit of Mr. ltoosevclt to have
simply stood on tho reserved rights
expressed In* the original offer, via.,
that or rejecting any and all bids,
thnn to have Jattcmptcd explana
tions that don’t oxpalln and rens
sons that are not reasonable, as bun
been done.
Tho gist of his explanation Is that
the contractor was going to give
most of his profits away to hunkers
nnd, therefore, the government
should do the work. TIiIh was a mat
ter of absolutely no concern to the
government. There wns a $6,000,
000 bond ready for the faithful per
formance of the contract. There \va
fulflllme: to the utmost of every
requirement made, and the Commls
slon was going to got what It said
waH of the principal requisites Iti
deckling for a contract system the
experience and service of skilled con
tractors nil of these were at hand
and on terniH admittedly better than
had been thought possible, and yet
IIU- contract was rejected.
It Ih not astonishing In Ihn face
of these facts that there Ih a feeling
generally prevalent and exproHsed
»’>a» Hie true reasons In this matter
not yet been made public. There
was too much Juggling with another
Arm whose hid was doujiln that of
the Oliver bid, and the public Is
Inclined to believe that there was
some previous understanding with
• hat (Irm which the lower hid so In*
ferfered with that the agreement
with them, If stieh I here was, could
not be carried out, and so the re
jection of all bids followed. In view
of I he facts now coming out about
the other Arm and Its connections,1
tin* whole affair looka ugly, and tliej
approaching congressional investlgn
Hon, which, It seems, Is a certainty,
will bring flics#* more prominently
t#> th#* surface. If«■ r#* are some of
Hies#* facts: McArthur laid down #»n

Gillespie went into bankruptcy and
laid down on the M< s »*na canal In
