ROOSEVELT VISITS THE KING OF ITLAY

Ones Not See Pope, Owing to Conditions Imposed. Following a clash with the Vatican that has caused a storm over two hemispheres. Theodore Roosevelt was received by King Victor Emmanuel at the quirinal in llome. The trouble with the Vatican re-sulted-from the pope’s ultimatum delivered to the ex-president through Mgr. Kennedy and Ambassador Leishman, to the effect that guarantees would be required that such an incident as Mr. Fairbanks’ visit would not be repeated as a condition of the pope receiving the ex-president. Mr. Roosevelt, who received this message" at Cairo, notified the American ambassador that the conditions offered by the pontiff made the proposed meeting impossible. Mr. Roosevelt has sent a message of explanation to the American people, through the Outlook, asking that they withhold harsh criticism or comment on the incident, but. the episode has caused a tremendous sensation here. The Fairbanks incident to which the pope took exception, was the visit made by the ex-vice president to the° Methodists in Rome, who are charged as being traduriers an£ maligners of the Roman church. The meeting of the ‘king and Roosevelt afforded opportunity for another exhibition of the admiration of the public for the former president and the popular interest in his every movement. ’’ The hour of his reception being known, a considerable number of persons gathered to greet him on his way from the hotel to the royal paiace. As he was alighting from his carriage at the quirinal the cuirassiers forming the bodyguard of the king gave him a military salute. A rootman In blue velvet knickerbockers and red coat covered with gold lace preceded Mr. Roosevelt to the antechamber of his majesty, where he was received by Rear Admiral Garelli, aid on duty. Count Tozzoni and Duke Cito, masters of ceremonies. Immediately afterward the distinguished guest was escorted to the door of the king’s apartments, which, when thrown open, revealed his majesty standing with arms outstretched and a smile upon his lips. His majesty wore the uniform of a general of the Italian army. His words of welcome, spoken in excellent English, weye corial. King Victor and Mr. Roosevelt shook hands heartily, the monarch inciting the former president ,to sit at his side. _ ,

From the quirinal Mr. Roosevelt drove to the pantheon. Colonel Roosevelt will not visit the MethodiSt mission and he will not make an address before the Methodists. i His planned reception to the American colony at the American embassy has been called off as a result of an anti-Vatican statement issued by the Rev.

WATTERSON SEES AMERICAN RULER

Editor Courier-Journal Prints a Sensational Editorial. PRAISES THEO DORE ROOSEVELT Calls Upon People to Reflect Whether Representative Government Is a Failure and One-Man Power Cure For Evil. Louisville, Ky., April 8. —In an editorial in the Courier-Journal this morning headed “Whither,” Henry Watterson will say: “The time has come for the people of the United States to consider Theodore Roosevelt as they have never considered him before, to take hitfi more seriously than they have ever taken him; to realize that he is altogether the most startling figure who has appeared in the world sirfce Napoleon Bona.parte, a circumstance not without significance and portend. He must be a poor American whose heart does not glow with pride at the unwonted honors bestowed upon this representative of his country and feel with exultant admiration at the splendid way he is carrying himself. “It is too late, if it were not per/ sonally offensive, to talk about selfexploitation. Taken in connection with what appears to be the hopeless breakdown of the Taft administration it constitutes an event of the .first consequence. “Before we get into acrimonies of party conflict, the Courier-Journal asks its contemporaries throughout the country to reffect without passion or levity, and to answer to themselves, amid the blaze of light which casts an aureole about our wandering Ulysses, whether representative government in America is a failure and whether the only cure for the evils, where admitted, is the one-man power, because they may be sure that the return of ThetF dore Roosevelt to power will be so construed by Europe and on this account the demonstration of monarch ism has its chief significance.”
