Stallo, J. B. (John Bernhard), 1823-1900

President Roosevelt comments on an article that George Horace Lorimer recently published in The Saturday Evening Post, which commented on America’s Envoys Extraordinary. Roosevelt thinks that the article had some good points, but wishes that the article did not also misrepresent several other facts. He acknowledges that there have been some people in the past who have not been fit for their positions, but maintains that ambassadors and envoys currently appointed are by and large good men who are qualified for their positions.

Oscar S. Straus gives an address at the University of Georgia tracing the development of religious liberty in the United States. Beginning with the founding of several American Colonies, including Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island, Straus examines how many of the colonies dealt with religious freedom, or lack thereof, and how as the United States has developed as a nation it has set forth the law that no religion or sect of religion is above any other, and that the laws apply to all equally.
