It was "Roosevelt of the class of 1880" today end he had a busy time shaking hands Svith old college friends. Prominent Men Honored. When Governor Hughes, of New Tork. received his honorary degree in Sanders Hall, the audience burst Into great cheers and applause. J. Pierpont Mor gan, the New York financier, and Gen eral Horace Porter, ex-Ambassador to France, also were awarded honorary degrees. Nearly a' thousand young men re reived their diplomas today. Colonel Roosevelt tonight went to Isahant as guest of Senator Lodge. In opening the alumni meeting. Col onel Roosevelt said in part: "In the first place, I come home with an increased and hearty friendship and frood will for other countries. I have visited many different nations, and the more I see of decent people of other nationalities the more I realize the truth of Abraham Lincoln's statement that there is a deal of human nature In mankind. A good man is a good man anywhere and a scoundrel ought to be made to pay the penalty of his eoundrelism, whatever his birthplace or nationality. And, with that feeling, there has come a constantly increas ing understanding on my part that the man who wishes to be a good citizen of the world must first and foremost tie a good citizen of his own nation. T. R. Appreciates World's Honors. "I have been given honorary degrees in Certain foreign universities on the con tinent of Europe and in Egypt. I am deeply grateful therefor; I appreciate the ifrionor. It was the keenest pleasure to me to visit those universities. I admire them with all my heart. And now, having said that, you will not misunderstand me when I say that I come back feeling more 'truly than ever that the place for a man to be educated is in his own home coun try. ' Let him be sent to school and university here in the United States. If he has a chance to take a post-graduate-course elsewhere, according as his tastes and needs dictate, good; but let him have the foundations laid here, where his citi zenship must be exercised. "Let me also point out that you cannot be useful abroad unless you have the respect abroad that only comes of your usefulness being proved at home. No man ought to receive or will receive re spect abroad unless as an American he has won his spurs in American life. "I trust I need not say I speak in no spirit of mere chauvanism. On the con trary, I speak as I have said, from the standpoint of one who sincerely admires other nations, who has a sense of grate ful appreciation of what they have done for him, but whom is more than ever convinced that to be useful to the world at large it Is necessary, first, to be bone of your bone and blood of your blood, a citizen of your own country, dealing with your own countrymen, able to do your duty to the fullest extent in dealing with the problems your fellow countrymen have to solve. University's Work Grand. "It is important this university should turn out scholars. It is more important It should turn out, men able to do, to the fullest extent what is required of them by the complex needs of American citi zenship, and remember always, that your power to show respect to others will de pend largely on your own self-reppect. In the days when America mistrusted Itself, America felt bound to assert Itself rather . loudly in the face of foreign nations. "The greater America's confidence .grows in Itself, the more America be comes strong and able to hold her own in the face of any nation of the earth, the nore ready America will become to treat each and every nation in a spirit of the fullest cordiality and friendship and the Jess apt she will be to take offenses, not merely needlessly, but to take offense when there is some small need, but not enough to warrant losing one's temper. "The admission of inferiority In the face of another power is often rendered as evident by over quickness to resent a fancied slight as it is by a tendency to bow down to the other power and America has reached the position when sho need show neither one nor the other form of admission of inferiority. All Look Up to "America." "One more word and then I am through. . I was. struck by two things everywhere I traveled abroad. One was that the name 'America' stood as a golden symbol of hope or all who felt they were downtrodden, that through no fault of their own they had failed to re ceive the Justice to which they were en titled in life. The name 'America' stood as a symbol of aspiration, of the possibility of realizing ideals according to which every man, rich and poor, should be treated on his worth as a man and should be given an opportunity to show that worth and to be Judged as he succeeds in showing it. "Now, you Harvard men here, you men of America, if you won't see that your house is put in order for your own sakes, I suppose it would he useless to ask you to put it in order for the sake of other men; and yet I cannot imagine a more stirring appeal being made to any people than this well nigh voiceless appeal from those who In other lands have not had the treatment to which they are in Jus tice entitled; who appeal to us to man age our Republic according to the "high est standards of morality and decency, so that they can keep unshaken their faith In a realizable ideal."

Declares "Go-Between" Conspired to Defeat Un derstanding Which Was Sure to Have Been Reached. . NEW TORK, June 29. Responding to the address of the board of bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church is sued May 16, Archbishop Ireland con tributes to the forthcoming issue of the North American Review an ex tended article upon the Methodist Epis copal Church in Italy, reviewing the statement of the Methodist bishops and Justifying the action of the Vatican In connection with Colonel Roosevelt. He quotes extensively from the writ ings of Methodist missionaries, bishops and newspapers in Italy attacking the papacy, and sets forth that each -visit of a public man of America to the Methodist college in Rome has been seized upon by the local representa tives of the Methodist Church as an occasion for insulting the Vatican. He cites the cases of the visits of ex Mayor Seth Low and Mr. Fairbanks. High Salaries Paid Methodists. He declares the Methodist preachers in Italy are paid higher salaries than those of other denominations; that their work is confined chiefly to prose lyting, and that the results have not been at all commensurate with the cost of the work. , Respecting the Roosevelt incident, he says: "As far as precedents gave lessons, the Vatican could not . but fear that pressure might be brought to bear on him to Induce- him to lend his favor to the institution of via ventl settem bre. With the purpose and wiles of the Institute, Mr. Roosevelt, it was thought, probably was not conversant. So far he has had no occasion to run up against its ruling spirit. Rev. Mr. Tipple. The honor of the Vatican was supreme, as it should be, in the mind of the cardinal; it must at all hazards be safeguarded; neither must obstacles intervene that should keep the doors of the Vatican from being thrown wide open in greeting Mr. Roosevelt. "So, in reply to Mr. Roosevelt's re quest for an audience, a message was sent, courteous and confidential, ac ceding, of course, to the request, yet intimating the unpleasant position to which the Vatican should be reduced were there the least peril that what had happened to Mr. Low and. to Mr. Fairbanks, by any miscalculation or oversight, would happen to him. The more illustrious the visitor, the more was he to be put on his guard. Vatican Message Unfortunate. "Unfortunately, the message of the Vatican reached Mr. Roosevelt under the cover of comments from the hand of the American Ambassador to the quiri nal and was read In the glare of those comments. Certainly the situation was perplexing. With the comments of Mr. Leishman under his eyes, the answer given by Mr. Roosevelt Is not a sur prise to Americans. "Subsequent development brought fur ther confusion. There were other and yet more embarrassing comments from Mr. Leishman to Mr. Roosevelt; and there was the cavalier and unwarranted declar ation of Mr. O'Loughlln to the cardinal that Mr. Roosevelt was Just the man to go from the Vatican to the Methodist hall. Circumstances, let us say, con spired to defeat an understanding which was sure to have been reached had Mr. Roosevelt and the cardinal secretary of state come face to face or had they spoken to each other in' direct corres pondence without hindrance by Inter mediaries." "However, as things went, the car dinal secretary of state, - supremely preoccupied, as It was his duty to be, with the necessity of safeguarding at all hazards the honor of the holy see, was allowed -no alternative. Audience Made Impossible. "The audience was made impossible. Such was the Roosevelt incident, in which, back of all the immediate cir cumstances, the one controlling ele ment was the American Methodist Episcopal Church. "The attitude of the Vatican towards the Methodist mission must not be other than it is. If, in this attitude, there Is intolerance, it is the intoler ance of vile insult and treacherous fraud. With persons differing from it in creed, honorable in their sincerity and belief, and well-mannered in their bearing, the Vatican is always most tolerant, most courteous. But, as was the Savior himself, so is the Vatican severe and Intolerant when confronted by the Pharisee and the money-changer of the temple." Twenty Detectives on Trail of Short Line Train Kobbers. OGDBX, June 29. The hunt for the train robbers who held up the second section of the northbound Oregon Short Line passenger train near this city early Monday morning continues. .
