Some of the politicians and politi-
cal papers as well as some religious
papers are Directing to Taft, the Re-
publican nominee for President, be-
cause of his membership in the Uni
tartan church, which denies the di-
vinity of Christ. The Louisville
Evening Post in answering these OBJ
jections, attempts to give the church
utilization of different former presi-
dents. In this list the Post says that
both John Quincy Adams ana Mil
lard X. Fillmore, were Unitarians.
Without taking part in this discus
sion 1t is not out of place for the
Farmers Home Journal to correct
the statement as to the facts. From
non-political history we find that
Jno. Quincy Adams belonged to the
Congregational church and Fillmore
was a Baptist. History does not
show that any former President OF
the United States was a Unitarian.

Ananias Club CHEN a Boost by Roosebel1

Washington, February 9.-President Roose-
welt today made answer to the recent public
statements that he has made use Of federal
patronage to further the presidential interests
ce Secretary Taft. The answer is in the form
Of letter addressed to William Dudley
Foulze, of Richmond, Ind, and includes let
ter from Mr.. 'Foulke to the president suggest
ing the need of such statement.
The president begins by characterizing the
charges as false and malicious" He fol-
lows this with an analysis of all appointments
sent by him to the senate for its action to
show that in no case has the proximity of
a presidential contest influenced his action.
Roosevelts Letter.
The Presidents letter to Mr.. Foulke fol-
lows:
White House, February {, 190S-The state
ment that l have used the Offices in the eff
fort to nominate any presidential candidate is
both false and malicious. It is the usual i'm
agination invention which flows from a desire
to say something injurious. Remember that
those now making this accusation were busily
engaged two months ago in asserting that [
was using the Offices to secure my own renomi-
nation. It IS the kind Of accusation which
for the next few months will be rife. This
particular SANDER will be used until explod-
ed, and when exploded those who have used it
will promptly invent another. Such being the
case, I almost question whether it is worth
while answering; but as it is you who ask
why, the answer you shall have.
Roosevelt Reviews Nominations.
Since the present congress assembled two
months ago, I have sent to the senate the
names of all the officials | have appointed for
the entire period since congress adjourned on
the 4th of March last, that is, for eleven
months. Excluding army and navy officers,
scientific experts, health officers, and those
Of the revenue cutter service, have made
during this period about thirteen hundred and
ffty-two appointments subject to confrma
ton by the senate, eleven hundred and sixty
four being postmasters. Of these, appoint
ments in the diplomatic and consular services
and in the Indian service have been made
without regard to politics; in the diplomatic
and consular services more Democrats than
Republicans having been appointed, as we are
trying to even up the quotas of the Southern
States In nominating judges l have treated
politics as wholly secondary consideration,
and instead Of relying solely upon the recon-
mendations Of either senators or congressman,
have always conducted independent inquiries
