(1904) (Oct.)
(Taft, William Howard):
to (Father Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Another complaint has been made that the Filipino(s) have not been sent to Catholic schools. (William Alexander) Sutherland informed Taft that he applied to a number of Catholic institutions and the terms offered were such that he could not place them at those schools. Sutherland informs Taft that they were sent to day schools and wherever possible Catholics were placed in Catholic families. Taft has been informed by Father (John A.) Zaum (Zahm, C.S.C.) that the matter of expenses can easily be arranged, and with this, Taft has no doubt that the Catholic institutions will receive a proper number. The administration desires to avoid a charge of proselytism from one faith to another-as between Churches, they are and must be impartial and just.

O'Gorman, Bishop Tho(ma)s:
Washington, D(istrict) of C(olumbia)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
Notre Dame, Indiana
O'Gorman has just seen President (Theodore) Roosevelt. He knew nothing about the placing of those Filipine(s). (William Howard) Taft, absorbed in the campaign, had left the matter to his subordinates. It was wholly the doing of (William Alexander) Sutherland. The matter will be quietly remedied. The boys destined for academic law, and commercial courses will be sent to Catholic colleges. Taft has had a conference in Cincinnati with Col(onel Clarence R.) Edwards and Sutherland. Four students will be sent to Notre Dame. Hudson may make such a statement as will clear the administration of any anti-Catholic design.

to William H(oward) Taft:
Hudson will send proofs as requested. It may be necessary to publish the address in two numbers of the Ave. A storm is gathering, and Hudson should like Taft to be protected. This apparent discrimination against Catholic Schools might easily have the effect of "Rum, Romanism and Rebellion." His Strenuosity (Theodore Roosevelt?) might be gratified to see the extract from Monsignor (John Baptist) Guidi's letter. Wicked Democrats in the District have already asserted that Taft was afraid to remain longer on account of the A.P.A. element in the party. Hudson would be gratified to publish any statement from Taft on those Filipino(s).

to Father Dan(ie)l E. Hudson, C.S.C.:

Taft has Hudson's note of October 6 and also the proofs. The letter Hudson enclosed to Taft contained a statement by (William Alexander) Sutherland on the allotment of Filipino(s) of of a character that requires Taft to return to Washington before making any statement on the subject. Taft is quite impatient that Col(onel Clarence R.) Edwards and Sutherland did not confer with him before action was taken. Hudson can say editorially that Taft has no intention to discriminate against Catholic schools, and there will be a just disposition of the matter. Taft does not know of any A(merican) P(rotective) A(ssociation) element, for he understood it had faded out.

(Hudson, C.S.C., Father Daniel E.):

to W(illia)m H(oward) T(aft):
(William Alexander) S(utherland)'s statement is a blunder. Hudson encloses proof of an Ave editorial on the allotment of the Filipino(s). Hudson did not feel free to use Taft's letter; he suggests that it be addressed to Father (Andrew) M(orrissey, C.S.C.). It will thus be more effective. The A(merican) P(rotective) A(ssociation) has indeed been routed but not overcome. Father M(orrissey) has been interrogated by Father (John J.) Wynne, (S.J.) of New York. The clipping "Schools for Filipinos" is stupid besides being very unfortunate. Hudson is writing to Bishop (Thomas) O'G(orman) now in the East; he will make any needed apologies for Hudson.

His last letter to Edwards was from Bologna. He remebers well going from Rome to Ancona with Father Bernard Smith, O.S.B. in September, 1857. It is so selfish and gives him such a lonely feeling to be travelling all by himself. From Ancona he went to Loretto where he said Mass at the Holy House.

Seton, Archbishop Robert:
Bari, Italy
to (James F.) Edwards:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
From Aquila he went to Sulmona which is a much older city, but not nearly so picturesque. He visited Slumona because it was the birthplace of the poet Ovid. He cannot understand why Ovid a man of no importance outside his verses was banished to the town of Touri. No political prisoner was ever banished to such a deserted frontier garrison town. Bishop Lynch said thirty years ago that Seton visited more out-of-the way places in Italy than anyone he knew; and since then Seton has been to many more. He does not believe anyone reads his essays. It has been said that such a book though small in volume should have made any writer's reputation. Naturally he feels that he was neglected and thrown away for a generation in New Jersey.

Wynne, S.J.,Father John J.:
New York, (New York)
to Father Daniel (E.) Hudson, C.S.C.:
Notre Dame, Ind(iana)
On seeing some of Hudson's letters to (William Alexander) Sutherland, Wynne telegraphed Hudson not to commit himself to Sutherland and his superior officers until Wynne could tell Hudson the results of a canvass of Catholic colleges. Wynne is satisfied that not only has he overlooked the fitness and advantages and of many Catholic schools for the Filipino(s) but he has made misstatements and misrepresentations. St. Mary's Institute, Dayton, O(hio), and Georgetown (University) were led to expect some, but did not receive any. Yet Sutherland specified Georgetown as being expensive, just as he specified the (University of) Notre Dame, although Father (Andrew) Morrissey, (C.S.C.) never received a letter or visit from him, nor any other application except the one from (Trinidad H. Pardo de) Tavera in 1903. Sutherland has told Wynne's friends that Notre Dame, Georgetown, and Fordham (University) did not want these boys because they were "niggers." Wynne wrote to Mr. ( ) Pepperman, then taking Col(onel Clarence R.) Edwards' place, about these facts, but has as yet received no reply. (Theodore Roosevelt), (William Howard) Taft, and Edwards promised immediate vindication of the Catholic colleges in the secular press. Wynne has received neither of Edwards' letters and has concluded it is time for the Catholic press to have these facts. The Filipino students are glad to come under the influence of the priest and associate with Catholics. In one case, on Sutherland's own admission, four of them did express a preference for a certain Catholic college, and yet he states in his letter that none expressed such a preference. The conduct of the Bureau of Insular Affairs is the same as at the time of the selection of teachers for the Philippines.

Wynne, S.J., Father John J.:
New York, (New York)
to Father Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.:
Notre Dame, Ind(iana)
Wynne supposes that Hudson has received the same letters as (William Howard) Taft and Col(onel Clarence R.) Edwards have sent to the Standard and Times, the Columbian and one or two other papers. Taft omits the facts which justify the charge of sectarianism on (William Alexander) Sutherland's part, objectively at least. Taft's instructions to Edwards may ultimately provide for the religious welfare of the young men who are here and of those to come. After some things he heard about Sutherland, particularly of his professed disregard for any religious belief, Wynne regretted that Edwards was sending out copies of Hudson's letter addressed to Sutherland and ending with "Faithfully yours in Christ." About the selection of Oberlin (College)- in this Sutherland was decidedly wrong. Edwards asked Wynne if he would not agree to Hudson's, Father (John A.) Zahm, (C.S.C.)'s, and Father (Andrew) Morrissey, (C.S.C.)'s advice, to leave the boys there this year. Wynne answered that whatever the advice given, it would be well to have the neighboring priest or the authorities of the diocese confirm; that Sutherland had specially provoked such a categorical statement from Father (William?) McMahon in the Cleveland Universe, that they might expect reclamations from that source at any moment. Wynne had occasion tonight to repeat this to Sutherland. (Joseph A.) Weber of Philadelphia found that four were provided with accomodations through the agency of the St. Andrew Brotherhood. Weber wrote him that he had notified Sutherland that the boys in the State Normal School at West Chester have been chided by the Protestants for not attending chapel exercises and not eating meat on Friday. Georgetown (University) and St. Mary's Institute, Dayton, offered free tuition. They expected four or five students each, Fordham received but one. He has written an account of the whole matter to the Archbishop (Jeremiah J. Harty). He is glad that Taft's address was published in the Ave Maria. He is confident that Hudson will notice some of his errors and misleading statements. He could say more about Taft's personal relations with the Aglipayan movement. The key to the whole Filipino student affair was that it was begun and carried through by (Trinidad H.) Pardo de Tavera and (Felipe) Buencamino, the marplots all along in the anti-friar movement and the anti-separate school legislation there. They are leading Katipuneros. They promised (Eugene A.) Phibin who went to Washington that they would do anything required. Only a Catholic is fit for the job.

Ganss, Father H(enry) G.:
Manhattanville, New York
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
He is stopping at Manhattanville to boom up the Marquette League on his way home from the Lake Mohawk Conference of the Friends of the Indian. He arrived from Europe a month ago. His health continues unimproved and he must abandon and the Indian work, probably in January. However the Indian work is in splendid condition. If he accomplished no more than convince the IndianBureau that conciliating instead of fighting the Administration is the most prudent course-a victory would have been attained. The Government has carried out its promises. Senator (Matthew Stanley) Quay told him that politics caused the forfeiture of the school appropriations. Father ( ) Kenham(?) has shown good judgment. When Ganss retires to Carlisle he will begin work on the new Hymnal. He visited the Cathedrals of Europe and studied congregational singing and now feels qualified to begin work. His collection of Lutherana, 600 titles, is one of the best. He read Taft's address in the Ave Maria with keen interest. It is in line with the addresses of Father (William) Atkinson, Mr. ()Pepperman, and ( ) Rowe at Lake Mohawk.

Stoddard, Cha(rle)s Warren:
(Cambridge, Massachusetts)
to (Father Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
He agrees with Hudson as to the cut, and believes the publishers will suppress it. Chatto in London will handle the English edition. The reviews have been flattering. The Boston National Magazine has announced him as a contributor for a series of articles for 1905. If he goes to California in March he is assured of $100 a month for six months for his articles on the "Old Missions", which first appeared in the Sunset Magazine. They are to be issued by Robertson of S(an) F(rancisco) also. Mrs. Bellamy Storer has turned over to him an annuity of $50 a month in memory of her father. Christopher Pease Cranch, the artist-poet of Brook farm enjoyed it until his death. All his effects are in this house and so long as Willie Woodworth lives here this shall be Stoddard's home. Hudson might drop a line to Mrs. Storer at the Embassy in Vienna.

Kaufmann, Father Henry J.:
Mendon, Mich(igan)
to (James F.) Edwards:
Notre Dame, (Indiana)
He is building a church at Three Rivers, Mich(igan). It is said that about 100 years ago the French Jesuit Fathers conducted an Indian mission on a spot close to the heart of the city. He has not been able to find anything relating to the matter and asks if there are any records at the university about it.

to Father (Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
He sees that in the Ave Maria "We Catholics" with a "?" is attributed to his pen. Will Hudson state he is not its author. He signs as The Prig and informs Hudson of his real name.

S(eton), Archbishop R(obert):
Naples, (Italy)
to (James F.) Edwards:
Notre Dame, (Indiana)
He leaves Naples for Rome tomorrow. He remembers meeting the Japanese statesman, Eto, in Naples on a previous visit. His Sympathies are for the Russians in the war with Japan. The incomparable Museum of Antiquities is unique in the Pompeian mural paintings. The frescos have a special fascination for him. He explains a painting relating to Nero and Locusta. People look at the wrong things when they visit famous places. Bishop Rademacher said that Seton would make an ideal traveling companion. He confesses to Edwards that one thing that helped to make him miserable in America was the conviction that he was not given credit for what he knew; that he was not appreciated at his just value. Unless a man is very humble, a saint that is the hardest thing on earth to bear.

O'Neill, Eugene:
Betts Academy,
Stamford, Conn(ecticut)
to (James F. Edwards:
Notre Dame, Indiana)
He has been playing football and has not much time for writing. He sees where Wisconsin gave Notre Dame an awful beating some time ago. How he wishes the dreary winter was over and it was time to go rowing out to that dear old barge for a plunge. He asks how Edwards likes the star cast of "Two Orphans". Jamie may yet be an actor if he works hard.
