there are several States In this Union
where the majority Of the people are
now Catholics? / should condemn IA
the severest terms the Catholics who
in those States (Or in any other States)
refused to vote for the most Mt man

ard my condemnation would be eX-
ac,iy as severe for Professionals who,
under reversed circumstances. refused
70 vote for a Catholic.
Belief Makes No Difference.
I'm public life 1 am happy to say
tina: / have known many men who were
elected and constantly reelected TO
office in districts where the great ma
j0rity OF their constituents were Of a
different religious relief.
Il know Catholics who have for many
years represented constituencies mainly
Protestant, and PrOtestants who nave
for many years represented constituent
cles mainly Catholic; and among the
Congre ssmen whom I know particularly
well was one Of Jewish faith, who rep
resented a district IA which there were
hardly any Jews ar all Ali Of these
men by their very existence IN political
life refuts the SANDER you have uttered
against your felIoW-Americans.
I believe that this Republic will en-
dUre for many centuries. II so. there
will doubtless be among its Presidents

probably, at some time, Jews. ! have

In my Cabinet at the present time
there sit side by side Catholic and Prot
estant, Christian and Jew. each man
chosen because. in my belief. he Is pecu-
liarly fit TO exercise on behalf Of ali
cur people the duties Of the office 10
which have appointed him. In no case
does the mans religious belief in any
way influence his discharge OF his du-
ties. save as it makes him more eager
TO act Justly and uprightly in his rela-
tons to all men.
The same principles that have OBJ
tanned in appointing the members OF my
Cabinet. the highest officials under me,
the officials 70 whom are intrusted the
work OF carrying out all the important
policies Of my Administration. are the
principles upon which all good Amcrl-

Is grace and art in motion, enhancing as

The dreamy eyes, the raven hair, the
throbbing heart that clings!

A Taunt That Told.

An Illinois woman of my recogniz.
ance will have a lot to answer for
when she goes up to the white throne
and stands before st. Peter pleading
for q box seat. Not long ago, this
woman attended a study club where
ladies are wont to gather at stated in
tervals. The program was long and
tedious and as the last lady to speak
arose, the president, in sweet and
pleasing manner, explained that the
time was short and requested that the
speaker talk rapidly and plainly
whereat the Illinoisan referred to in
the opening sentence turned to her
next neighbor and in voice which
could be heard all about her, said:
What's the use of urging her? She
always talks as loudly and as fast as
she can, anyhow"

Truth and
Quality

appeal to the Well-Informed in every
walk Of life and are essential to permanent
success and crcditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of SIENNA is the only remedy Of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best Of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
swcetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any debilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as laxative, and its component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all objection
able substances. To get its beneficial
effects always purchase the genuine
manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co, only, and for sale by all leading drug
gists.
