The President informed his Ruckeye

in giving out the LETTER said he l1ad

agitation likely to influence the elec
tion. In that, he acted prudently. but
what is his object in publishing it now:
We cheerfully admit that the Presi-
nent is devoid Of religious prejudice;
but he is not more tolerant than were
otter presidents before him. who kept
rcticent on religious matters. To be
sure, he has in his cabinet men of all
kinds OF religious faith-Jew and Gen.

ground. In our opinion. President
Roosevelt is the most artful and adrolt
politician that has ever occupied the
chair of Washington, Jefferson and
Lincoln. He is a full-nedged dema
gogue.
1t Is probably true that the President
as he says. received many letters from
others besides the mar in Ohio. and
that they objected to Taft for being a
Unitarian and in sympathy with Cath
olics. Men Of that stripe can bc found
IN every community. but why they

NO CREED TEST.

In this democratic republic which
has no established church and wher.
men Of all creeds are equal before the
law. there ought not 10 be a SOLITARY
citizen who would find in the religious
belief of candidate TO: Office a reason
for voting against him. says the Chi
cago Tribune.
Yet 1t became apparent during the
presidential campaign which has lust
closed that there still are men in this
country who are not fully converted
20 the principle of religious toleration
and who would impose religious tests
# they could. They might not do II for
candidates for minor Offices. but they
would where the presidency is corr
cerned.
1t was said repeatedly that Mr. Taft
was Unitarian. as il i. were a reason
why he should not be elected. It was
insinuated that he had Roman Catnu-
lie atfiliation- and sympathies, an
therefore was an unsafe man for the
presidency. This intrusion of religion
into the domain of politics na;. be az
rribed in part to religious intolerance
and in part to the readiness Of some
politicians Of fne baser sort to appea.
10 prejudices which they thought Nigh,
cost Mr.. Taft some votes. If they did
cost him any the election returns d,
not show it.
1t is not pleasing in these twentieth
century days to see the religion of a
candidate subject of discussion. There
Is consolation in the thought th..t there
vas infinitely more dra eying Of religion
into politics in the older and what II is
fashionable to call the purer dsvs of
the republic than there is now. The
federalists denounced jefferson as a.,
snf1del. and said that his election would
'nean the destruction Of RELIGION in
America. When Fremont ran for the
presidency he was called Catholic in
disguise. 1t was alleged that he had

could vote for man who would do
that.
AT that time there was political or
ganization in power :, a number ot
states one Of whose pr ;nciples was that
no Roman Catholic should he elected r.
any office. That party went to pieces
long ago. No sensible and Just man
would now stand up for it's creed. The
shameful riots of fifty and sixty years
ago which grew out of religious biEotr,
could not possibly be repeated. AL
traces of religious tests have vanished
from the state constitutions which once
lad them. There is closer approach
than ever before to full freedom OF
conscience and religious tolerance.

Bryanite federalism.

New York Evening Sun: In that
portion of his address to the Virginia
republicans In which he asserted the
un-Jeffersonian character OF ''the
present regime of the democratic
party" Mr., Taft unmasked a pretence
of Bryanisin which is nothing less
than an insult to the intelligent dem
ocrats of the south. 1t is time, indeed.
that the southern democrats recog-
nixed the folly OF perpetuating by their
votes the empty tradition that the
party of Bryan is the party of II effer-
son, Mr.. Taft was JUSTIFIED by the
facts in saying that he doubted If
Jeffe- son would today recognize his
reputed political descendants" so ram
pant are they for a strong centraliza-
tion OF government. How right Mr.
Taft was 1t needs no very extended
study of the Denver platform to show.
Among other things which the Bry-
anized democracy demands in the
platform. or to which 1t pledges itself,
are these:
Regulation OF business and indus
trial concerns through manipulation of
the tariff schedules.
Federal licensing of interstate com
merce (meaning thereby federal IL
censes for the bulk of the country's
businessl to the. extent Of prohibitory
control plus the regulation OF prices
OF interstate commodities (meaning
thereby to fix the prices Of practically
all commodities by governmental ac-
tion.)
So much more power for the inter-
state commerce commission than it
now has as to amount practically to
governmental management OF the rail-
roads and telegraph and telephone
companies without any OF the respon-
sibflity OF government ownership.
A government guarantee for ma
tional bank deposits which would force
all the state banks to become national
banks and practically, establish a gov
eminent bank OF which all the banks
would be but branches.
Government regulation OF incomes
through federal taxation.
A federal government which will
see to 1t that every man shall draw
from society a reward commensurate
with his contribution to society," or,
as this declaration was meant to be
understood by host of voters, that
every man gets the living which he
thinks the world owes him.
In view OF the foregoing exhibit ii
is evident that the declaration of be-
lief in the sJeffersonian doctrine about
the relative spheres Of the state and
federal governments and the ayowal
OF. a Jeffersonian hostility to Cen
tralization" with which the platform
inaugurates its sweeping schemes Of
centralization are only sops to the
large body Of democrats, especially In
the south, who have been clinging to
the tradition OF Jeffersonian democ-
racy without regard to- the propaganda
OF fact. II there were any such thing
as a two-sided public discussion Of
political questions in the south Mr..
I,aftas speech Of yesterday would. prove
d. stimulus to eye opening debate.

Miss Edison was graduated last year
from Bryn Mawr college. There she
underwent a thorough course In elec-
tricity, chemistry and the applied Sci
ences. She was noted In college for
her intellectual powers and took high
honors in chemistry. Throughout her
course she received the aid Of her
father with whom she has always been
a favorite
OF quiet and studious disposition
she has been much with her father in
his experiments at Llewllyn Park, in
Orange. Persons admitted to the wig
ards" laboratory have often been
pleasantly surprised to find Miss Hdi-
son aiding her father in experiments
that have worked wonders in the elec-
trical world. 3
Miss Edison made her social debut
last June at a large lawn party at Glen
mount, her parents home in Llewel-
lyn Park, and has received much at
tention. Miss Edison has displayed
dramatic talent of note. She has been
selected as one of the principal char
acters in the Yuletide pageant to be
given by Miss Margaset Jorolaman in
the, Bijou theatre for the benefit OF the
Orange Memorial hospital on Saturday
afternoon and evening OF Nov. 81.
When Miss Edison was graduated in
1906 from the Oak place private school
at Akron, Ohio, she. received a check
for $4,000 from her father as grad
uation gift.

You! DyspeptiCs Read
What An Eminent Medical Man says
-a Dyspepsia Really 10. Then
Gain Hope.

This affection called Dyspepsia, is
the greatest torment of civilized life,
and is to be considered rather as an
unnatural functional difficulty than as
a structural disease
The same authority has classified
dyspepsia thus: The first form due to
relations with other organs which are
in a morbid and unhealthy state, which
is characterized as a reflex action. OF
such type is the nausea and vomiting
caused by Irritation Of brain, lungs,
liver or uterus.
The second form Is caused by scanty
supply OF gastric juice, made evident
BIZ slowness of digestion. long reten-s
tion OF food in the stomach. distress
for a long time after meals, accompan-
led by weighty and uneasy feelings at
pit of stomach, decomposition of food
in ailmentary canal causing fetid and
foul gases and the appearance OF un-
digested food In the eyactuations from
bowels.
The third and last form of .dyspep-
sia, according to this renowned medical
light, is that which accompanies some
abnormal quality of the gastric juice,
combined with a partial paralysis of
the stomach's muscles so that this Or
gan cannot sufficiently mix the food
with the digestive fluids.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will rem
edy each condition OF stomach af-
fiicted with dyspepsia as above de-
scribed.
These tablets contain digestive
agents which act with or without the
aid OF the stomach. One grain OF
an ingredient used in these tablets will
digest 5000 grains of food, and IL
necessary will do it in glass vial SO
that the digestion can be seen by the
human eye.
