ALL RELIGIONS JUSTLY
TREATED BY PRESIDENT.
SAYS CHARLES D. HILLES
By CHARLES D. HILLES.
Chairman Republican National Com
mittee.
NEW YORK, Aug 27.—President
Taft is a Unitarian end attends regu
larly All Souls Unitarian church in
Washington. Mr?. Taft is and always
has hern an Episcopalian. She is a
member and a reguar attendant of St,
.Johns Episcopal church In Washing
ton. popularly known as "The Church
of the Presidents" because so many of
the nation's chief executives have at
tended it. it seems almost trite to
state such well known facts as these,
but it also seems necessary to do so
because of an underhanded campaign
against the president which is being
carried on in certain parts of the coun
try, some going so far in their perver
sion of the facts as to assert that Mis.
Taft is a Roman Catholic.
in this same connection. I wish to
brand as absolutely false the state
ment being circulated in the same quar
ters that President Taft sent Major
Butt to the Vatican to procure from the
pope the support of the Catholics in
this country, the statement that Mr.
Taft has attended Catholic services for
political purposes, and the further
statement that the president has been
unduly favorable to Catholics. Every
one of these statements is not only
false, but wholly without foundation. It
is a sad reflection on the president's op
ponents that tmy should stoop to such
unworthy methods—although it indi
cates how seriously they fear that Pres
ident Taft will defelit them.
Just to All the Creeds.
President Taft is a just man. and,
being a just man, he has been perfect
ly just to Catholics, precisely as he has
been to every other denomination, lie
is irrevocably opposed to any union of
church and state, and never hesitates to
say so. and nothing lie has ever done
has tended In that direction. These
facts are well known to all who come
in close touch with the president, who
have an opportunity to learn his views
at first hand and to observe his acts at
close range. It is somewhat remark
able that in these days of free and rap
id communication between all parts of
the country it should be possible to
mislead any one regarding such obvious
facts. But unfortunately it is, and
even Masons have been heard to assert
that the president is a Catholic, ap
parently ignorant of the fact that the
president, in addition to being a Unita
rian. is himself a Mason.
President Taft’s whole course in the
white house. In the cabinet and in the
Philippines has been guided by an in
tense desire to live up to his concep
tion of a just man and in the white
house to be president of all the people.

NATIVE NURSES WILL
REPLACE AMERICANS
IN THE PHILIPPINES
Filipino women will replace Ameri
can women as trained nurses in the
Philippine Islands, according to a bul
letin received in Atlanta today, issued
by the civil service commission in re
gard to the examination to be held Oc
tober 16 to secure trained nurses for the
government service.
The announcement is made that the
examination for nurses in the Philip
pines has been canceled on account of
advice from the bureau of insular af
fairs, that in future native women will
be used as nurses in the islands. Amer,
lean women may take the examination
for nurses in the Indian service and the
canal service.
TEARS UP HER SKIRT

NEW YORK, Aug. 27.—When at
tempting to alight from an Eighth ave
nue surface car, James Dickinson, 60
years old, slipped, and his right foot
was caught by the rear trucks of the
vehicle.
Women on the car screamed and
were panic-stricken. One of them, who
refused to give her name, bent over the
aged man. and then tore her underskirt
in strips and, aided by two men, tied
them around the man’s leg
A woman passing in an automobile
stopped and helped to lift the aged man
into the machine. At Fowler hospital
It was said that Dickinson would prob

AT THE THEATERS
POPULAR VAUDEVILLE AGAIN
MAKES HIT AT FORSYTH
A bill brimming • xer with surprises and
diversified enough to suit almost any
taste is offered at the Forsyth this week
An unusual feature was the fact that
the closing number. Trt«v«>llo & Company,
in a ventriloqulal novelty, scored one of
the greatest hits of the Monday night
performances, though perhaps the most
popular and enc< red was ti e feature
down on the program as Alfredo, the
wizard of the violin Though following
right on the heels of a similar number
in last week's bill, this clever violinist
captured his audience from the start and
was encored repeatedly.
The clever inpersonation of a man by a
girl and vici versa is the pi-.n* ’.pa! feature
of the surprise novelty duo. Armstrong
and Lawrence.
Louis London, the character singer, is
distinctly a headliner and makes good
from the start. He appears in several
characters and offers the noveltx <>f
making his costume changes in plain view
of the audience, though his voice is good
enough to score a hit without this sea
SB Doing and sax ing Hie greatest number
things in th< shortest space of timt
■
artists. Their act was roti nd k applaud
ed.
Judging by the size of the audiem es and
the abundance "f good nature'! applause
H e popular vaudeville at the Forsyth is
by President McKinley to Induce th<
pope to compel the friars, or monks, in
the Philippines to part with their im
mense land holdings at a reasonable
price.
Splendid Bargain Made.
There are probably leu Americans
who realize the magnitude of the un
dertaking which President McKinley
confided to Mr. Taft.
But President Taft achieved it with
such infinite tact that he made no ene
mies in Rome anti yet perfected a bar
gain which, even from the standpoints
of Yankee shrewdness, must lie. pro
nounced a good one. These lands ag
ger gated 400,000 acres of the best lands
in tin Philippines. They were occu
pied by 60.000 people, the heads of the
families being tenant farmers. The
lands were purchased with funds raised
by Philippine bonds, and ever> tenant
was given an opportunity to become a
land owner on terms which would reim
burse the government, and yet so easy
that all could avail themseives of the
opportunity.
The purchase of these lands accom
plished even mon*. The friars were al
most entirely Spaniards. Their civil
loyalty was all to Spain, and they w<’h
not in sympathy with the United States
or with American ideals of government.
In 1898 there were I.oos of those friars
in the islands. Immediately after the
purchase of their lands 762 left the
Philippine-. <if the remaining 246. 50
were aged and infirm and unable to do
any work, and 83, Dominicans, had re
nounced tlie right to go into any par
ishes, leaving only 113 active men, a
largo pen entage of whom were engaged
in teaching in the Catholic schools and
colleges. In the opinion of those com
petent to Judge the friar lands nego
tiations constituted a diplomatic
triumph for the United States and for
Mr. Taft which has rarely been sur
passed int heh Istory of diplomacy.
Exact Justice and No More.
President Taft has treated tin- Cath
olics with exact justice and no more.
He has done the same for every de
nomination with which lie has come In
contact. If there is any sect for which
he has done exceptional favors it is tin
Jews, but even in their case he has done
only justice and he has done it for
them as a nice, rather than as mem
bers of any religion. He won their un
failing gratitude when lie abrogated tin
treaty with Russia because that coun
try persisted in its refusal to recognize
tlie rights of American Jews. He won
their admiration anil respect when he
interfered in behalf of Private Frank
Bloom and censured the army officer
who sought to prevent Bloom’s being
admitted to examination for a commis
sion as an officep because of tlie young
man's »nd social statuk Through
President Taft’s interference Bloom was
examined, passed and is now a commis
sioned officer of the army.
But In these eases, as in all others.
President Taft was merely living up to
ills determination to lie just to all men

Minority Leader Mann Says
This Congress Passed Very
Few Original Bills.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27. —Represen-
tativ- James R. Mann, minority leader
of the house, today held a post mot tern ;
over the session of congress just closed.
He concluded that there were s-veral
things wrong with the activities of the
legislative bodies and declared that his
diagnosis made last December that this
session of congress would last lunger
and do less than any other regular ses
sion of recent years, had been proved
correct.
Tlie 400 laws which congress passed
this session, he asserts, are in the main
of little importance, tlie Panama canal
bill, which was the principal measure
passed, being a bill chiefly prepared in
a prior congress
M . Mann characterized the reforma
tion of the rules as a farce and furthei
charge- that tlie house had been ineffi
cient in allowing more than 200 senate
bills to remain without action. Among
these bills he cites the immigration bill,
the bill providing compensation for per
sonal injuries to employees of interstate
cartiers and others.
All Administration Measures.
It is a constant boast." he says, "that
the Democrats at this session passed a
law providing for publicity of campaign
contributions, but in reality they only
amended the law already passed by a
Ret üblican house.
"Their eight-hour law, too. is in tlie
nature of an amendment to a previous
law."
Representative Mann takes from th<
Demociatic house tlie credit of pa.-sing
the steamship law s, the bill to abolish a
children’s bureau and tlie white phos
phorus match laws, all of which, he de
clares, emanated from the department
of commerce and labor and were ad
ministration measures.
"Practically all the laws of any im
portance passed at this session," he
continued, "were either bills prepared
In a previous congress, or else prepared
by officials of President Taft’s udminis
t ration."
Economical Boast Fails.
"The boast of the Democrats that
they would be economical has fallen by
the wayside. Outsiue of money ex
pended for the Panama canal, which
can not be considered an ordinary ex
pense. tlie appropriations for tills ses
sion of congress exceed those of the
last Republican session ami in ninny
pirn es the Democrats have appropriated
money w here it was pure extravagance,
ami they, on tlie other hand, have re
fused a ppi <>]>i la t ions where they were
absolutely essential.
"All in all, Mr. Clark lias made a very
good speaker of the house, but tlie
Democratic management of th ■ house
has been inefllcn nt, inactive, unpro
gressive and disorganized. The main
working in the house on tlie Demo- I
cratlc side has been a constant boast
ing of what they were going to do in
the next election."

"REGULARITY" IS DUE TO
BOSS SYSTEM, ASSERTS
SENATOR JOS, M, DIXON
By U. S. SENATOR JOS. M. DIXON,
Chairman of Progressive National
Committee.
NEW YORK, Aug. 27. —In his classic
"American Commonwealth," Mr. Bryce
speaks of our subservience as a
to party authority as greater than ex
in any other democratic country*
and as altogether inexplicable. It has
been pointed out by other learned and
friendly students of our institutions
that this slavish obedience to party is
the root of many of our most persistent
national ills.
From it has grown the "boss” sys
tem and the whole extra-constitutional
method of nominating candidates for
elective office. As a result, we have
drifted far away from the constitution
in this regard and have substituted
methods and practices not contem
pl.ited by the constitution and directly
contrary to its provisions.
The idea of party loyalty has become
a dogma preached with a fervor and
stupidity that amount to bigotry. The
party may steal a presidential nomina
tion from the people and bestow it upon
a candidate repudiated by the rank and
file of the party, but it is still "the
Grand Old Party." Its leaders may be
show n in corrupt alliance with crooked
business, working in defense of abuses
and against the redress of crying evils;
but look at its long record of honorable
achievement in the past and the great
names which adorn its history and get
into line.
Regularity a "Consolation.”
Obedience to party may involve sup
porting men and practices which you
detest, but you will have the consola
tion that you are "regular.”
This idea is ns degrading as all su
perstitions, and until its hold upon the
members of the Republican and Demo
cratic parties is broken we can hardly
consider ourselves a self-governing peo
ple and worthy of free institutions.
The Progressive party submits its
program to the conscience and the pa
triotism of the independent voters. It
bids them step clear from tlie ancient
and rusty shackles of party, which. In
fact, are broken, and only intimidate
without being strong enough to bind or
hold.
It should no longer be true, as was
once said of the American people, that
they fear the dead lions of secession
and slavery mote than the live dogs of
political corruption.
Spoils System Bred “Regularity.”
Party regularity as a creed came into
our politics with that baleful doctrine
that to the victors belong the spoils of
office. Previously voters had divided
