Several Callers.

Hot Springs, Va, Nov 9.-"T really

dent-elect Taft's comment from the
wide porch of his cottage among the
trees as he looked at the red sun slip
behind the mountains, over which
hung the blue smoke of many forest
fires.
The quiet which Mr.. Taft enjoyed
during the day was in striking con-
trast to the days of turmoil he has
gone through, and he gave himself up
to rest. Cameron Forbes, vice gov
ernor of the Philippines, and Mr.. Luz
zuriga, Filipino member of the Phil
ippine commission, called ON Mr..
Taft Both are returning to the ISL

Cites Abraham Lincoln.

ITO discriminate against thor
oughly upright citizen because he be-
longs to some particular church, or
because, like Abraham Lincoln, he
has not avowed his allegiance to any
church, is an outrage against that
liberty of conscience which is one of
the foundations of American life. You
are entitled to know whether a man
seeking your suffrages is a man of
clean and upright life, honorable in
all his dealings with his fellows, and
fit by qualification and purpose to do
we'll in the great Office for which he
is a candidate; but you are not emit
tied to know matters which lie pure
ly between himself and his Maker.
If it is proper or legitimate to oppose
a man for being a Unitarian, as was
John Quincy Adams, for instance, as
is the Rev. Edward Everett Hale, at
the present moment chaplain of the
senate and an American of whose life
all good Americans are proud-then
it would be equally proper to support
or oppose a man because of his views
on justification by faith, or the meth
cd of administering the sacrament,
or the gospel Of salvation by works.
$50 much for your objections to
Mr.. Taft because he is a Unitarian.
Now, for your objections to him be-
cause you think his wife and brother
to be Roman Catholics. AS 1t hap
pens, they are.not; but If they were,
or if he were Roman Catholic HIM
self. it ought not to affect in the
slightest degree any mans supporting
him for the position Of president.
You say that the mass of the voters
that are not Catholics will not sup
port a man for any Office, especially
for president of the United States,
who is a Roman Catholic l believe
that when you say this you foully
Sander your fellow countrymen.
Several States Are Catholic.
"Such a consideration should never
be treated as a reason for either sup
porting or opposing a candidate for
a political Office. Are you aware that
there are several states in this
Union where the majority of the peo-
pie are now Catholics? l should rep

MAKES PLEA FOR
LIBERAL THOUGHT
President Replies to Taft's Critics
and Defends Right to Re-
ligi0us Belief.

Washington, Nov. 8. - Secretary
Taft's religious faith is purely his
own private concern and not matter
for general discussion and political
discrimination" says President
Roosevelt in a letter he has made
public, in which he answers nu-
merous correspondents. The presi-
dent says ne deferred the publication
of the letter until now to avoid any
agitation likely to influence the cleo
ton.
President Roosevelt's letter, which
is addressed to ]. G. Martin, Dayton,
o., begins with numerous extracts
from letters received by him during
the campaign, the tenor of which
were the reports that Judge Taft IS
an infidel (Unitarian) and that hrs
wife and brother are Roman Catho.
lies, the inference being that if he
Is In sympathy with the Roman Cath
olic church on account Of his wife
and brother being members Of that
faith it would be an objection to q
sufficient number of voters to defeat
him and II, on the other hand, he Is
an infidel, that would be sure to de-
feat him.
To these objections President
Roosevelt replies in part as follows:
"You ask that Mr.. Taft shall let
the world know what his religious
belief is That is purely his own
private concern; and it is q matter
between him and his Maker, a matter
for his own conscience; and to re-
quire it to be made public under pen
atty of political discrimination is to
negative the first principles of our
government, which guarantees COM
plete religious liberty and the right
to each man to act in religious affairs
as his own conscience dictates. Mr..
Taft never asked my advice in the
matter, but if he had asked it
should have emphatically advised
him against thus stating publicly his
religious belief The demand for a
statement of a candidates religious
belief can have no meaning excepr
that there may be discrimination fol-
or against him because of that belief.
Discrimination against the holder of
one faith means retaliatory discrimi-
nation against men of other faiths.
The inevitable result of entering
upon such a practice would be an
abandonment Of our real freedom OF
conscience and a reversion to the
dreadful conditions of religious dis
sension which in so many lands
have proved fatal to true liberty, to
true religion, and to all advance In
civilization.

THE CHARTER COMMISSION.

Mayor Cushwa is to be commended
for mis- choice o, men for the charter
commission. He could scarcely have
made a selection which would lave
met with a more hearty approval on
the part OF the public.
The gentlemen named are all We'll
known business and professional men
and are just the kind of citizens that
are capable of framing a charter
such as the city needs.
The citizens need have no fear that
the interests of the taxpayers and the
city will not be well taken care of.
They have already commenced their
deliberations and will work for the
best interests of all concerned.
Every confidence can be placed in
this commission and we Will expect
a result that will be a credit to the
city and a monument to the work OF
the commission.

PROPER EVEN IN HIS SNORING
Fallen Dandy Evidently Was Idol to
Kings Messenger.

When Beau Brummell, the celebrat-

fallen fortunes, residing 1t Calais, he
had occasion to visit Paris. Through
the kindness OF the consul at the for
mer place, he was enabled to accom-
pany a sking's messenger to the CAPT
tai, and thus travel free OF expense.
When the messenger returned, the
consul was curious to know how he
and his aristocratic companion had
fraternized upon the road. What
kind of a travelling companion did you
find Mr.. BrummeIl?" asked he. "Oh,
a very pleasant one, indeed, sir; very
pleasant" replied the messenger.
"Ah! And what did he say?" Say.
sir? Nothingl He slept the whole
way" Slept the whole way! Do
you call that being pleasant? Perhaps
he snoredl" The messenger acknowl-
edged that Brummell did so, but inn
mediately. as If fearful of casting an
improper reflection upon so great a
parsonage, added, with great gravity:
yet j can assure you. sir, Mr.. Brum-
nell snored very much like a gentle

SUPERSTITION HARD TO DOWN.
LeveI-Headed City Men Fight Shy of
Number Thirteen.

OF all classes of people, the business
man has been justly given credit for
being the most balanced and the least
subject to emotional influences. Yet
superstition occasionally shows itself
in the commercial world in a way that
is often very disconcerting to the
realist.
Have a thirteenth floor in this
building?" queries a part owner Of one
of the famous Office buildings in New
York. Never! The thirteenth floor is
sometimes difficult to rent; tenants
would prefer to go higher or lower.
The 13 hoodoo affects more other
wise ane men than is acknowledged.
Many of the most famous business
buildings in the country have no thir-
tenth fioor-the fourteenth story
follows the twelfth. BY following this
plan we take the least risk. AS the
names of tenants are arranged alpha
betically on the directory the omission
is seldom noticed."-System.

upon to elect the president. This
vote was largely cast for Grover

on the greatest disaster this country
has eve experienced. Capital sought
its hiding place, and consequently
there vas nothing for the working
man to do. But when Mr.. Mckinley
was placed in power business at
once revived, and we have had pros.

class is fully aware what happened.
and they are not going to place their
homes and firesides In jeopardy by
voting for Mr.. Bryan, who stands | n
favor of free trade. His election
would mean almost immediate stagna-
ton in business, and 1t would take
four years more for a revival OF

daily for their living know full well
on which, side their bread Is buttered,

not change their present way OF think

Mean Joke of Doctor.

The celebrated French physician,
Ricord, was n day walking along the
b~oulevards in Paris, when he met an
old gentleman who was very rich, but
who was at the same time noted for
his extreme stinginess. The old man,
who was somewhat of a hypochondri-
ac, imagined that he could get some
medical advice from Ricord without
paying for 1t. Doctor, | am feeling
very poorly" Where do you suffer
most?" "In my stomach, DOCTOR" "Ah,
that's bad. Please shut your eyes.
That's right. Now put out your tongue,
so that | can examine it closely" The
invalid did as he was told. After he
had waited patiently for about ten
minutes, he opened his eyes, and found
himself surrounded by a crowd, who
supposed that he was crazy. DR.. Ric-
ord, in the meantime, had disappeared.
