The deter mination of Mr. Roosevelt to forego nn nudlence with the pope rather than subscribe to conditions imposed by the vat lean has created a sensation. ThiH urtTortunato and unex pected Incident overshadows every other feature of the dis tinguished American's visit. Mr. Roosevelt had made no engagement to address the Methodists or other religious bodies of Rome, but, at the same time, thinks he should not make promises as to what he will or will not do.

Former Vice President Fairbanks said today: "No one can question the absolute right of (he pope to extend his hospitality to or withhold It from whomsoever he likes.

In fact, no American can accept an audience at the Vatican except upon condition that In- shall speak when, where and to whom he likes, regardless of char acter or creed.

CIRCUIT IS ENTITLED TO NEXT APPOINTMENT From Every Standpoint of Good It Would Seem, but There la no Rule Gasette-News Bureau, 46 Post Building, Washington, April 4. It has en exactly 69 years since a member of the Supreme court of the United States has been selected from the fourth judicial circuit The third circuit has not been represented on the court since the retirement of Jus tice Shira.-; in 1903, and the second circuit ceased to be represented on the highest tribunal in the nation with le death of Justice Peckham during the present year. Now that Justice rewer Is dead the eighth district no nger has membership on the court. mora are nine circuits comprising he federal judiciary of the United States, the divisions being by states, n-t in the making of them population was the basis. The theory of the law providing for this arrangement of the federal Judiciary was that the appointing power would give to each rcuit representation on the court. But that practice has not been follow ed by presidents in recent years. At the present time there are three embers of the court from the Sixth district, the same being Justices Har- n. Day and Lurton. There are also wo justices on the court from the second circuit. Judges Holmes and Moody. There was a more equitable geographical distribution of the Jus- cea y circuits prior to the appoint ment of Justice Day than at any time n recent years. All of the nine clr- nlts were then represented save the ourth, and the third was favored. Justices Brown and Shlraa hailing from the state of Pennsylvania, which in tne third circuit. It would seem that the fourth cir cuit, comprising the states of North nd South Carolina, Virginia. West Virginia and Maryland, are from every standpoint of good logic entitled tne vacant appointment on the Supreme court, it having been 69 years since that district has been re cognized In the selection of a member of the court. It has only been a de cade ago that all the circuits save the fourth had representation on the court. (el, BUM Peter V. Daniel is the last member of the court appointed from the fourth rcult. He was a Virginian and was named by President Van Buren In the year 1841. IT Than a Thousand Attend Sunday School and Plans Are Made for the Future.
