One of the surest signs that all is not well with the body politic is an uncomfortable sense of "touchiness" among those who occupy the seats of the mighty. An older and infinitely experienced social organization, known familiarly as the Church of Rome, an institution which in bygone days believed right royally in the excellent maxim of "live and let live," is showing increasing signs of this most deplorable touchiness. Now one hates to make suggestions to the esteemed U.S. administration, for if they were to he taken seriously, that would merely mean the appointment of still another committee, and the Lord knows, people have enough of these.
