"noblest man in tho world today"
by Bishop P. J. Muldoon in an ad
dress. "The President of tho United
States," delivered at the banquet of
the Illinois council of the Knights of
Columbus in celebration of tho coun
cil's 10th anniversary at the auditori
um. Bi3hop Muldoon was tho guest of
the occasion. He was lauded by four
speakers as ono of the most Influ

who, the president might rest as
sured, would be of tho greatest as
sistance to stave off trouble in tho
possible eruption "from the present
unrest."
The emperor of Germany, tho king
of England, the mikado of Japan,
and other rulers of nations, Bishop
Muldoon pointed out, sooner or later
might become on equal footing with
the president In tho latter's stand for
peace and love of humanity. Ho as
serted tho Catholics were tho best
friends of the president.
Called World's Greatest Power.
"President Roosevelt is the noblest
man in the world today," said Bishop
Muldoon. "Tho United States is the
ongest and most perfect of govern
ments. As Its head, ho becomes the
greatest power in tho world. He
stands for power and for authority,
and there is no ono who can better
appreciate him than tho Catholics.
"Sooner or later tho emperor of
Germany, tho king of England, the
mikado of Japan, and tho other rulers
of nations will imitate him in his de
mand for freedom, and his lovo of
humanity, and his stand for peace.
"There is no man who can speak
better for the president of tho United
States than a Catholic layman or a
Catholic priest. Tho fact that ho
stands for power and authority makes
this possible, for tho Catholic is best
able to appreciate it. Ho symbolizes
tho power of tho earth
