6 ALL RELIGIONS JUSTLY TREATED BY PRESIDENT. SAYS CHARLES D. HILLES By CHARLES D. HILLES, Chairman Republican National Com mittee. NEV. YORK. Aug 27. President Taft h Unitarian and attend* regu lar!} A!! Souls Unitarian church in Wash r.gton Mr- Taft Is and always ha« been an Episcopalian. She is a member and a reguar attendant of St. Johns Episcopal < liurch In Washing ton. popular!} known as "The Church of the Presidents" because so many of th” nation’s chief executives have at tended It. It seems almost trite to state such nel! known fact* a* these, b’i it al»o seems necessary to do so because of an underhanded campaign against the pre&ident 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 Mrs. 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 P-esident Taft sent Major Run to the ' atican to procure from the nope the support of the Catholics in ’his country, the statement that Mr has attended Catholic services for I'oliti. al purposes, and the further statement that the president has been undulj 'avorabe to Catholics. Every one of these statements is not only false, but .'hoi’s without foundation. It is a s d reflection on tlte president s op ponents that the} should stoop Io such unworth} methods -although it indi cates ho • seriously they fear that Pres ident Taft nil’ defeat them. Just to AU 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 ever} other denomination. Hr is irrevocably opposed to any union of church and state and never hesitates to say so, and nothing he 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 hia views at first hand and to observe his acts at close tango It is somewhat remark able that in these days of free and rap. id communit ation 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 hav« 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 b} tn In tense desire to live up to his concep tion of a just man and in tlte white house to be president of all the people.

In , the Philippines to pari with their im-| mense land holdings at a reasonable ' price. Splendid Bargain Made. There are probably few Americans who realize the magnitude of the un dertaking which President McKinley confided to Mr. Taft. But President Taft achieved it with such infinite tai t thai he made no ene mies in Rome and yet perfected a bar gain which, even from the standpoints of Yankee shrewdness, must be pro nounced a good one. These lands ag gregated 400,000 acres of the best lands In the Philippines. They were occu pied by 60.000 people, the heads of the families being tenant farmers. The lands wete purchased with funds rais'd by Philippine bonds, and every tenant was given an opportunity to become a land owner on terms which would reim burse the government, and yet so »a.»y that all could avail themselves of the ( opportunity. The purchase of these land* accom- j plished even mote The friars were al- i most entirely Spaniards. Their civil . loyalty was all to Spain, and they were not in sympathy with the United States ( or with American ideals of government. In 1898 there were 1,008 of these friars in the islands. Immediately after tlte | purchase of their lands 762 left the Philippine*. of the remaining 246, 50 ] were aged and Infirm and unable to do any work, and 83, Dominicans, had re nounced the right to go into any par ishes, leaving only 113 active men, a arge percentage of whom w ere engaged in teaching in tire Catholic schools and colleges. In the opinion of those com petent to judge ’the friar lands nego tiations constituted a diplomatic triumph for Hie 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 the Cath rllcs with exact justice and no more. He has done the same for every de- , nomination with whirl) lie has come in contact. If there Is any sect for whir l) , be has done.exi eptional favors it is the , Jews, but even in their case he has done only justice and he ha* done it for them as a race, rathet than as mem bers of any religion He won their un failing gratitude when he abrogated the treat} with Russia because that coun try persisted In iis refusal to recognize the rights ot American Jews He won their admiration ami respect when he interfered in behalf of Private Drank Bloom and censured the army officer , who sought to prevent Bloom's being admitted io examination for a commis sion as an officer because of the young man's race and social status.

B.o.p.uyscuii| TO DEMOCRATIC ACHIEVEMENTS Minority Leader Mann Says This Congress Passed Very Few Original Bills. WASHINGTON. Aug. 27. Represen tative James R Mann, minority loader of the house, today held a post mortem ovei the session of congress just closed. He concluded that there were several things wrong with the activities of the legislative bodies and declared that bls diagnosis made last December that this session of congress would last longer and do less than any other regular Hes ston of recent years, had been proved correct. The 4<io laws, which congress passed this session, he asserts, are in the'main of little importance, the Panama canal bill, which was the principal measure passed, being a bill chi. fly prepared in a prior congress M Mann characterized the reforma tion of the rules as a farce and furthet charge* that the house had been ineffi cient In allowing more than 200 senate bills to remain without action Among these hills h" cites the immigration bill, the bill providing i ampensatlon for p> r sonal injuries lo employees of interslate carriers and others. All Administration Measures. "It is a cons,ant boast," he .•■ays. "that the Democrats at this session passed a law providing so. publicity of campaign contribution*, but in reality they only amended the law already, passed by a Republlciin house. rhelr eight-hour law. too. is in the , nature of an amendment to a previous la w." Representative Mann takes from the Democratic house the credit of passing she steamship laws, the hill to abolish a children's bureau and the white |dios phorus match laws, all of which, he de ciares. emanated from the department of commerce and labor and were ad ministration men su res. "Practleall.y all the laws of any Im portance passed al this session." he continued, “wen* eithi bills prepared In a previous congress, or else prepim d I by otficia'sof President Taft'4 adminis tration " Economical Boast Fails, "The boast of the Diinoerats 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. lite appropriations fur this ses sion of congress,, exceed those of the last Republican session and in many I pla< '■.* rhe Democrats have appropriated 1 money .where It was pure extravagant •. and they, on the other hand, have re fused afipi op: iations w here they were absolutely essential.

"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 < lassie "American Commonwealth" Mr. Bryce speak* of our subservience as a people io party authority as greater than ex ists in any other democratic country and as altogether inexplicable, it has been pointed out by other learned and friendly students of our institution.* that this slavish obedience to party is the root of many of our most persistent national ills. From it has grown the "boss" sgvs 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 plated 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, hut it is still "the Grand ('ld Party." Its leaders may be shown in corrupt alliance with crooked business, working in defense of abuses and against the redress of crying evils; but look al 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 as 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. I'he Progressive party submits its program to the conscience and the pa triotism of the independent voters, it bids them step clear from rhe ancient ■i nd rusty shackles of party, w hich, in fact, are broken, and only Intimidate without being strong enough to bind or hold. Il 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 out politics with that baleful doctrine that to the victors belong the spoils of office. Previously voters had divided Dr. E. G.
