From The World of Tuesday:
At a meeting OF the Ladies Auxll-
larry Of the Y. NJ. G. A. held in the
lecture room of the First Baptist
church Miss Fannie Henshaw was
elected president in place of Mrs. J.
W. McSherry who was elected a

In order to raise funds with which
to furnish the new Y. NJ. G. A. build

agreed to do, it was decided to adopt
a scheme in vogue elsewhere, namely,
"a Mile of Pennies" the mile to be

WILLIAM H. TAFT'S
WASHINGTON CHURCH

went to school as a boy in Boston
and took a postgraduate course at
Harvard. He was called TO All
Souls church eight years ago. and
since then has become one of the best
known pastors in the city.
Mr.. Taft had been in Washington
a very short time when his name
was added to the membership list OF
All Souls church, and since that time
he has been a regular attendant. Mrs.
Taft occasionally accompanies him to
worship there, but her own church is
st. Johns Episcopal-"the church of
the presidents'-opposite Lafayette
Square, which Mrs. Roosevelt also at
tends. Mr.. Taft is a pretty active
member of All Souls church, and in
February, 1906, on the occasion of the
centenary of Joseph Priestley, the EN-
inent Unitarian chemist. he delivered
the address.
For the benefit Of the curious 1t
may be said that the creed of the
Unitarian church is summed UP in
Article II of the constitution. which
says:
"The church declares itself to be
in afiliation with the BODY OF liberal
Christians organized as The Aneri-
can Unitarian Association and sub
scribes to the following declaration of
principles embodied in the constitu-
ton adopted by the National Unitar-
ian and other Christian churches in
1884:
"'These churches accept the relig-
ion Of Jesus, holding in accordance
with his teaching that religion is
summed UP in love to God and love to
man: . and we invite to our
working fellowship any who, while
differing from us in belief. are in
general sympathy with our spirit and
our practical aims"

All Souls church in Washington,
OF wnich Mr.. Taft Is a member, was
established in 1921 and has occupied
its present home at Fourteenth and
L streets Northwest, since 1877. The
structure is not imposing, but roomy
and comfortable and covered heavily
with clinging ivy, and has a restful
appearance in the hustle of the city.

The membership OF the roll OF the
church has contained the names of
many well known persons. John c..
Calhoun was an attendant there, as
pies the pulpit. Among its member
ship are persons who were Baptist.
Methodists, Roman Catholics, Pres
byterians. etc. DR.. Pierce, in this
connection, explained that the church
would no more think of inquiring into
the religion Of the applicant than 1t
would busy itself with his political
views. The church stood for free

THE REGISTRAR
IS NOT FINAL
Attorney General Is Of the Opinion
That Registration Does Not Pro-
tect Voter From Challenge.

The question has been raised
whether the registration law makes it
imperative that all voters registered
shall be allowed to vote, even though
their disqualification may De appar-
ent to the commissioners of election.
The following letter from the attorney
genral shows that it is still within
the province of the commissioners OF
election to bar from voting any mar
who is plainly disqualified even
though his name be on the registra-
ton list.
STATE OF WEST VIRGINIA
once of Attorney General,
Charleston, Sept. 10, 1898.
Hon. James r. Holroyd,
Athens, West Virginia.
Dear Sir:-I have before me your
letter OF September 7th asking my
opinion on the following:
~Can a voter who is registered in
accordance with chapter 10 of the
Acts of the Legislature Of 1905. be
prohibited under any condition from
voting as set forth in section 40 of
chapter 3 Of the Code Of West vir-
giuia?7
I am OF the opinion that chapter 10
of the Acts Of 1908 does not, eithef
expressly or by implication, repeal
SETON 40 of chapter 8 of the Code;
and that the registration act is not in
consistent with the requirements OF
said section OF chapter 8. The object
of the registration act is to provide
against illegal voting and incorpor-
ates into the election laws additional
safeguards with that object in view
and for the purity Of the ballot. A
person offering to vote must first sat
isfy the registrar, then the county
court, and then the commissioners OF
election, and these requirements are
not inimical or inconsistent with each
other. IL an Illegal voter should es-
cape detection as such by the regis
trar and by the county court and 1t
should afterwards be discovered nat,
he is an Illegal voter I think he
should be challenged and be required
to further convince the commission
