All One in Christ,

All One in Christ.
The coming of Christ gave empha.
sic to the fatherhood OF God and tho
brotherhood of man. The great prin-
ciple of Christianity stands out prom.
inently in contradiction to many Of
the noblest principles of heathendom.
Race prejudices ran through all peo-
pies and amongst all tongues, but
when Christ came, he taught the
fatherhood of God and the brother.
hood Of man. He taught that God 10
no respecter Of persons. He made the
poor as well as the rich his disciples.
He dined with the publicans and sin.
ners, as well as with priests and
noblemen. He commanded that the
Gospel be preached to every crea-
ture. His church today is living
witness that there is neither bond
nor free, male nor female, Greek nor
Jew, for we are al one in Christ.

Anti-Foreign Agitation.

Hongkong, Dec. 9,-There has been
considerable anti-foreign agitation in
Hongkong during the past few days
owing to the death of a coolie on
board a river boat and the Chinese
have boycotted the local river steam
ers. 1t was alleged that the death of
this man was caused by an assault on
the part of a foreign Waterman on
board one of the steamers, but an off,
cial inquiry disproved this.

EFFECT OF DEPOSIT GUARANTY
LIZ Bringing out Hoarded Money
Around Oklahoma.

Correspondence Of the New York
Evening Post.
Whatever may be the fault of the
bank guaranty system, it seems to
inspire confidence enough, among the
misers to bring out some of their
hidden wealth. A stakeholder in
new state bank just organized in
eastern Oklahoma tells of it's ex-
perience. AT the end of the first day
I estimated that the deposits would be
$4,000. A friend guessed $40, 900.
We investigated and found they were
$50, OOO I asked the cashier, whence
it all came
;! About $s5, 900 came form the
other three banks, two of them ma
t1Onals,' he replied, and we received
$4,000 from Missouri, Kansas and
Arkansas, sent here probably because
of the guaranty law Then for the
rest, look this He showed a pack
age of worn bills all brought IN by a
farmer we'll outside the town. L
know that none of this was ever in a
bank since he gathered it little by
llttle-there is $4,000 in that
bunch. -
Up in central Kansas last week a
man sold farm and went early one
morning to deliver the deed. The
farmer who was the buyer excused
himself and went out to the barn he
was watched and was seen to pick a
tin can from a corner of the hog lot
and take from it $500 in bills Land
agents say the experience of receiving
packages of musty bills, evidently
buried for a time, is not unusual,
indicating that large sums are pro-
badly thus concealed among the
farming communities.

CHARLES P. TAFT

Agrees t. Demand to "Let in the

eussina Presidents Recent Letter,
Says His Statements Are Untrue.
Cincinnati, Dec. 9.-The Cincinnati
Ttmes-Star, Of which Charles P. Taft
Is editor and proprietor, publishes tho
following reply to the article on the
Pa4ama canal which appeared in the
Indianapolis News and New York
World:
''The New York World, the paper
which was responsible for most of
the talk about the Panama scandal
during the recent campaign, says:
"'Whether Douglas Robinson. who
is Mr.. Roosevelt's brother-in-law, or
any Of Mr.. Taft's brothers associated
himself with Mr.. Cromwell in Pan
ANA exploitation or shared in these
pAO1ASo I'D A1lNAAOALdl " IAC HALL lSSuC
of letting in the light
''This statement is Intentionally
misleading. The Panama story was
used in the campaign for political
reasons solely. The one thing that
gave it's political value in the eyes of
those who used it was the fact that
tho story, as printed, carried the
names of brother of the Republican
candidate for the presidency and of a
brother-in-law of the president. The
inference was plain enough. It was
that Theodore Roosevelt and William
H. Taft had used their influence as
high officials of the United States gov
eminent to help near relatives n
Looting the Treasury
at Washington. That was tho meat Of
the story. If the names of Douglas
Robinson and Charles P. Taft had not
been included in it, f1imsy and absurd
rs it was, the lying yarn would never
have been used by the World, the In
dianapolis News and other papers
which for one reason or another want
ed to defeat Mr.. Taft and discredit
Mr.. Roosevelt.
"The World is trying to dodge the
issue. It wants to be relieved of the
responsibility of trying to drag the
names Of Mr.. Robinson and Mr.. Taft
into it's made to order mess of scan
dial and slime.
'Both the World and the Indianap-
oils News are crying let In the light
We thoroughly agree with them. But
after little time has passed, after
the most desperate efforts of the cor
nered World and News have produced
all the evidence they can, an apology
will be in order from those newspa-
pers.
I'm the meantime Mr.. Taft reserves
the right to take legal steps, which
possibly have been made more desir-
able by the events and insinuatfons OF
the past forty-eight hours"
