TAFT REPLIES TO
 A CRITICISM.
Philippine Church Policy Only
 Just, He Says.

St. Paul, Minn., Nov 16-In a letter to the Rev. Magnus Larson. pastor of the Swedish Baptist church in this city. William H. Taft answers criti- cisms made by him during the recent campaign as to alleged undue favorit- fsm to the Roman Catholic church. He says In part:
 You ask me whether s7000G0o was paid to the Catholic church out of the United States treasury on my recommendation. l reply that 1t was not. The friars, agt.I- cultural lands in the Philippines. 425, 900 acres, or about that amount were pur- chased from the corporation formed by the three orders of the friars in the Phil ippines. and the money was paid from bonds issued by the Philippine govern ment under the authority of congress and is charge upon the Philippine Islands The purchase was approved by the Fiji pinos.
 It is not true that half of the popula- tion of 3,n00co0 people are not Roman Catholics. The present governor is a Ro- man Catholic. but he Is one of the most careful men in maintaining an impartial attitude between Catholics and Protes- tants that we could possibly have.
 No money has been paid to the friars for libraries that they claim to have been burned. so far az I can recollect. The sum of money paid was for rent and dam age to convents or rectories by United States soldiers.
 I am not a Catholic and have not been afiliated with the Catholic church. All I have attempted to do was to do justice to that church and to the Filipino people I have treated that church exactly as I would have treated any other church had it been in similar position to that of the Catholic church. I may add with re- spect to the friars' lands that the pur- chase was a political one and agrarIas one rather than commercial one.

 sent greetings to his holiness, with the exception of England, France and the United States.
 Devout believers thronged St Peters high mass by his holiness. Il classes of Roman society were represented, from the high officials of the Vatican and those of the Quirinal who remain steadfast in the old faith to the street beggar and small farmer of the outly- ing country. The singing of mass in St. Peters by pope has been cere- mony of rare occurrence in recent years, for the pontiffs daily adminis- trations take place in his private chap el in the Vatican. All the high dig nitaries of the church were congregat- ed in St. Peters with many visiting churcnmen and Catholic laymen.
 Great ceremonies attended the pope's entrance into the church. Seated in the sedia gestatoria, he was borne in on the shoulders of officers of the mo- ble guard above the heads of the peo- pie, so that the congregation might be- hold the face of their spiritual leader. As the figure of the pontiff approached1 giving the sign of benediction to the congregation, the people knelt to re- ceiye his blessing. The scene in the vast interior of the church was most impressive. In the procession that foI- lowed the pope were the college of cardinals, the archbishops, bishops. prelates of the pope's household. beads of religious communities. the Knights of Malta, the Knights of St. Gregory and members of other ancient and his. toric orders.

TAXATION FOR SCHOOLS

A new system of taxation for school
purposes was discussed by Professor A.
r. Spaid, county superintendent ofschools
at a meeting of the Holly Oak Public
Service Association Monday night in the
rooms of J. Allen Colby.
Under the present law live stock is
taxed for school purposes on its real
value, and the real estate is taxed on its
rental value; 1t is the idea of Professor
Spaid to have the school tax come under
the head of the other county taxes and
distributed to the school districts through
the county treasurer and the school COM
missioners according to the assessment.
Under this plan, accordingly, real estate
would not be assessed for school purposes
on its rental value, but on its real value,
just as it is for county purposes.
Professor Spaid also favors an increase
in the capitation tax for school purposes
so that all would bear a proportion Of
school expenses. Mr.. Spaid believes that
the system of school taxation in Delaware
is antiquated, and he desires to see the
system adopted that prevails in nearly
all the other States.
1t is the purpose of the Holly Oak As
sociation to interest residents in Brandy
wine hundred in change Of the school
taxation system SO that q request to the
next Legislature for change may have
a strong backing.

DOES IT PAY?

Somebody has figured out that the
average boy who is dependent upon his
parents for livelihood until he reaches
the age OF twenty-one years costs them
four thousand dollars. On this basis of
calculation brood, for instance, of six
boys would represent an outlay of
tweDty-four thousand dollars by the
time they get away from the home
roost The question arises does it
pay to raise boys and are there no
other crops that would prove more
profitable? If a boy turns out to be a ci-
garette iend with breath like turkey
buzzard and laugh that would make the
untored donkey feel perfectly at home in
his society and with an untramme.ed and
unconquerabe desire to avoid work, it is
safe to say that his parents might have
invested their four thousand dollars at
much better advantage. But if the boy
grows up to manhood with the lesson
well learned that wealth and success grow
only on bushes watered by the sweat
OF ones brow, the parents need not be.
grudge whatever they have spent on him,
for he will be source of increasing pride
and joy to their hearts, and when they
grow old and their hands tremble and
their legs wabble and their step is slow
and fatering they have two strong arms
to lean upon and help them over all the
rough places that lie in their twilight
path.

EMPLOYING FOREIGN LABOR

The Delaware farmers have begun to
employ the Bohemians and other foreign
laborers who were recently brought here
to operate the canning factories. but have
now been thrown out of this work by the
sudden shortening of the tomato crop.
The foreigners have been first put to cut
ting corn, one of the hardest and heaviest
all.day jobs farmer has, and they are
giving satisfaction almost everywhere. 1t
is believed that many of them will be
retained in this State as farm laborers
and houses will be built for the accom-
mediation of the families of those of them
who are married. In the dull winter
months they can be kept at work cutting
cordwood into fuel or pruning in the fruit
orchards. The immigrants themselves
like the mild weather, the open country
and the opportunity to earn good food,
accommodations and save money beside
in Delaware.

SENSIBLE ADVICE

The habit of indulging in the use of
profane or obscene language is one of
most nonsensicial habits human being
ever acquired. No man or youth ever
raised himself in the estimation of saint
or sinner by the use of foul language.
Purity of thought and speech are valuable
virtue. And yet, its our honest opinion
that the man who un Willingly ''cusses"
a little now and then, is not half so big a
sinner as the fellow who continually
thinks evil and speaks evil OF his neigh
bors, and refuses to pay his honest debts
upon the theory that Jesus paid it all,
all the debt owe" If the pulpits OF the
land would go alter the fellows who
refuse 10 pay their honest debts and to love
their wives and their feIlowmen' go AFTER
them as vigorously as they 90 after the
fellows who 'scuss and chew tobacco, z
the true reformation of the race might be
nearer at hand.

VERY SIMPLE

Every little while we read in the paper
that someone has run rusty nail in his
foot or other portion of his body and lock-
jaw resulted therefrom and the patient
died. If every person was aware of per-
feet remedy for such wounds and would
apply it, then such reports would cease.
The remedy is simple, always at hand,
can be applied by anyone-what is better,
it is infallible. 1t is simply to smoke the
wound or any wound that is bruised or
infammed with wooden cloth. Twenty
minutes in the smoke will take the pain
out of the worst case of inflammation
arising from such wound. People may
sneer at this remedy as much as they
please, but when they are afflicted with
such wounds, let them try it.

BRYAN AND H1s:MANY "REFoRMs"

II we could get good governmentieithel
by bills or by defamation, Mr.. Bryan
would be the greatest statesman this
country ever produced. He is prolific in
both. Glance for a moment al. the re-
forms in government for which Mr.. Bryan
who is still comparatively young man
has stood:
Free coinage of silver at the ratio of l6
to l.
Government and state ownership of
railroads.
Federal licensing and regulation of rail-
roads.
Municipal ownership of public utilities.
To prevent the duplication of directors
among competing corporations.
Prohibition of any corporation controII-
ing more than so percent. OF any product.
To require corporation controlling 25
per cent of the product in which it deals
to take out Federal license.
The initiative and referendum.
Compulsory arbitration of labor dis
putes.
Popular election OF Federal judges.
Federal guarantee OF bank deposits.
Self-government for the Philippines.
We give few of the reforms" with
which Mr.. Bryan's name is identified
Can any man read them and not su bscribe
to this estimate OF the Democratic candi-
date policies pronounced by Governor
Hughes Of New York:
"If all that Mr.. Bryan has favored
during the last twelve years had been
enacted into law, we should have been
overwhelmed with disaster and would
regard it as our chief business in the fu-
ture to find way of escape from the
meshes of ill-considered legislation in
which We should have been entangled.
1t is fortunate for him as vel as fnr Us
that he was defeated, and whatever may
be his present political potentiality can
be ascribed to the fact that hitherto he
has not been permitted to carry ont his
program"
That is the truth. Let anyone who in
tends to vote for Mr.. Bryan ask himself
the question, What would have happen
ed had the things Mr.. Bryan favored
been enacted into law?
