6 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. North and South. East and West, Prot estant and Catholic, religious and non religious. In the Philippines he was called upon to condui t many negotia tions wHh the Catholic church, begin ning with the time he was sent to Rome 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 TO AID INJURED MAN 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 ably lose his right leg. 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 | MOTION PICTURES TAKEN OF BATHERS AT PIEDMONT PARK The water sports of Atlantans at Piedmont lake will be seen throughout America, via the moving picture route.

G.O.P.imM ID DEMOCRATIC OMITS 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."

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 Br. E. G.
