NEW YORK. July 23.?In hi* first
speech since he returned from Chleai
go, Colonel Roosevelt today set forth
; his reasons for leading in the forma!
tion of a njBw party.
His address was delivered at a
meeting of the New York State county
chairmen of the national progressive
party. Colonel Roosevelt did
. not intend to speak, he declared, but
i the chairmen would not be denied.
"No man knows better than I,"
said Colonel Roosevelt, "that enthut
Biasm and high principle cannot be
t effective without organization and
. work. A great responsibility rests
I upon men here, who are undertaking
the organization of a new party
Which is to stand four squared
democracy, which is to be literally
the party of the people.
"It will fight oaalive issues and
i not dead ones. It will embody a
E protest against corruption In both of
? the old party machines. It will be a
a party into which ex-Democrats and
ex-Republicans without regard to
tbeir political past are to come in
an exact equality and to have each
the same share in the party managet
ment.

Few churchmen in Rome, outside
if the limited circle of high Vatican
ifllclals, enjoy a wider measure of

College, and it is safe to say that
lone is more highly esteemed. It is

Kennedy Congrat- 1
cerdotal Jubilee at
being carried on there by Mgr. Kennedy.
The apostolic delegate declar- .'
ed that nowhere in America had he
seen a training school for priests eo W
closely approaching the models and
high standards established in Rome.
Bishop Kennedy has met with
equal success in his rectorship of the
North American College, which is
now conceded to be the moat important
of the foreign colleges in Rome.
Fnom the beginning of his service he
has distinguished himself by his business
ability, his governing power, his
tact and courtesy in dealing with the
! large number of visitors from the *
United States. '?
The attendance at the college has n
increased beyond all precedents,
i The students have been more successful
than ever before In their competition
with the students of other colleges
at the propaganda. The rector
has won the admiration and commendation
not only of the various
Cardinals with whom he comes in a
contact, but especially the heads of
the various congregations, of the Cardi
nal Secretary of State and of the ]l
Holy Father.
All those acquainted with what is
v? iu uibu vaiican spneree
know that Bishop Kennedy is persona
GratiSBlma at headquarters and that , j
he is considered to deserve a high
distinction, but he remains rector of h
the American College, It is said,
chiefly to gratify the desire of the t
Pope that he should remain longer
than any of his predecessors at the r4
head of the institution.
