Dayton, O., is right, then much of thcI character of this nation has been wrought out by "ln0dels,' such asI Jefferson, John Adams Chief Justices Marshall and Storey; Lowell and Longfellow; Charming and Clarke; diving men like President Eliot of Harvard, Hon. John D. Long, and Ed ward Everett Hale, and numerous others. Thomas Jefferson passed through a stormy time during his can dldacy for the presidency Clergymen wrote tractslnveghing against him and predicting all sorts of things sure to happen Nothing of the sort ever came to pass. Thomas Jefferson was as devoted to his country as otaer ex- ecutlves The whole trepidation on the part of Mir. Martin of Dayton, O., and others like kim grows out of transformation concerning Unitarian faith
 This country does not ask about a mans religious belief when consider ing fitness for office, The nation is constitutionally on record in regard to religion and considers 1t to be a mat ter of the individual conscience. If q man is upright, honorable, and 9 lover of his country. anxious to serve his fcllowmen to the hest of his ability with the proper boise and judgment to make an administrative or legisla- tive official, 1t Is enough. His religious beliefs are for his own comfort and enjoyment. To stir up dissenslon and antagonsm from lack of proper in formation would be the height of ab- surdity lt is to the great credit of Mir. Taft that he has himself said nothing about the matter. lt is a tes- timonv to his judgment. The president speaks rightly in condemning the de- mand which it seems, was made that Mir. Taft make a statement of his rc- llgious beliefs. IL would have been ridiculous t6 have lone anything of the sort What q travesty for every candidate for the presidency to be obliged to append to his political party platform a statement of his re- liglous beliefsl The astounding thing is that anyone should propose tt. Re- ligious liberty and toleration is the watchword of this nation.

\ DELAYED LETTER..

President Roosevelt has not eX- hausted his resources as a letter writ or. Almost every subject is Urea ted by his pen His last letter, made public yesterday but held over the election gives the public to understand what he thinks of religious 2ealots who op- posed Mr. Taft for the presidency on account of his religious views. The letter is quite a sermon Indeed, President Roosevelt is quite preach- CT whether writing messages to con- gress or letters for public information,
 But no one who thinks a little will say that President Roosevelt is wrong in his striCtures on those who venture to make political capital of a man S private affairs Possibly there are some who have worked themselves in- to a state of direful apprehension on the ground that Mr. Taft as a Unitar- ian may do something dreadful There is an astonishing lot of ignorance on the part of people who ought to know better concerning the wholesome hu- manitarian and Christian character of Unitarianism. Nevertheless, Mir. ], c. Martin of Dayton Ohio, to whom President Roosevelt addresses his let ter, referred to MT Taft as an inf deL" assuming that this term is iden- tical with Unitarian" Mr.. Martin appears to be an intelligent man, but is in error in a few matters He is representative of considerable num- ber of people who nave a similar idea of the heinousness of being Unitarian in religious belief

\ QUESTIONABLE LAW.

It seems that the state of Kentucky has had law since tSai forbidding the education of negroes and white people in the same schools, under penalty. The law has been contested and carried through the Kentucky courts and has now received the ap- pruval of the United states supreme court. with Justice Harlan dissenting. A law of this kind is something new under the sun. II is conceded that a state has the right to supervise its schools in such way as to be for the best interests of all concerned. If 1t is satisfactory to have separate schools for the negroes and whites, and both races have the benefit of public funds without partiality, f. might be for a period tho best ar rangemenl But it is questioned whether state can make cocducation 
 of the kind crime
 All the educational forces of church and state have been directed toward putting away racial prejudice. Tho racial barriers have been productive of much irritation of the public mind
 ct, born obstacles to general progress in tho assimilative work that this coun- try seems destined to accomplish. Constitutionally all laW-abiding cti- zens are regarded as equal before the law, and by an amendment passed es- opportunity for the negro race. any purpose to be prejuaced Is rcpudiat- cd. To provide a penalty for nclud- ing both races in the same schools Is likely to intensity preiudical feeling. TO reach by general agreement the S' Jdl dllbll VI AI' lNp luN'H LII lllF schools for the more efficient attain ment of educational service is anoth- CT matter.
 Justice Harlan in dissenting perti- nently points out what may result if this decision of the lower courts is right; "Then a state may make 1t a crime for white and colored persons to frequent the same market places at the same time or appear in an as- semblaee of citizens convened to con slider questions of public or pollti- cal nature in which all citizens, with out regard to race, are equally inter estcd

THE CARMtCK SHOOTING.

For the second time within month the country's eyes have been turned to- ward Tennessee because of amcntable outbreaks in which the law has been ruthlessly dlsregarded. The first came at Reelfoot Lake when the nightrid- CTS pulled of" shocking tragedy The present instance comes with the shooting of Senator Carmack on the streets of Nashville. Governor Pat terson of that state has shown com mendable activity in running to earth tho responsible parties in the Reelfoot Lake affair; he would do well to takc such steps as are necessary to prevent future occurrences like the one In Nashville The day has long since passed when the world calls such an occurrence an affair of honor. There are other and better ways of obtain ing reparation when it Is due.

uARBoR IMPROVEMENTS.

Anything which is done to improve the harbor of New Haven and make 1t more accessible to every type of boat means distinct advance in the indus trial conditions of the city The activ- ity which the New Haven Chamber of Commerce has displayed for years in this matter has resulted in valuable harbor improvements The workers of that organization should have the thanks of all good citizens But there is much work still to be accomplished, It is pleasing to note that the harbor commissioners at their meeting the other night took occasion to discuss the matter of new lighthouses. If is to he hoped that they will ultimately decide to recommend suitable lights for the West Haven jetty and for the new channel at City Point

Democracy In Connecticut.

Waterbury Democrat)
 IL will take more than one campa ign with Tom Waller on the stump to right the wrong those bolters accom- plished twelve years ago There arc democrats in Waterbury, and elsewhere, it is presumed, that will never again vote tho democratic ticket until tho men who disrupted the party get in line for all time with the party they have been helping, although claiming to be democrats The alleged democrats that knlfed Bryan on three different occasions arc the real cause of demo- cratic defeat, for undoubtedly they de- feated Bryan last Tuesday as well as on two former occasions Bryan's real friends in Waterbury could hardly be expected to vote straight under the cir cumstarces, and particularly SO when a Waterbury man was q candidate for governor man who apparently knew what he was talking about says that 1000 republicans voted against George l.. Lillcy in Waterbury last Tuesday. If this be so, how many dem ocrats must have voted against Robert son, who repudiated Bryan in 1S9d to give Billey his 1866 majority. II Is easy enough to sec who is responsible for democratic defeat.

PROSPERITY AND NEW HAVEN.

A correspondent of this paper has written to take issue with us for call ine attention to the very evident wave of r: Jsperity which has swept over the country in the few short days which have intervened since the elections. In support of his argument he points to the fact that four departments in one of the city's most prominent industries, Winchester's, returned to d four-day-a- week schedule almost with election day
 Even if this is the case, he must he exceedingly short -sisted who cannot realize that real prosperity is at pres ent returning as fast as industrial con ditions would ever allow There may be peculiar conditions at this particular factory in New Haven Not knowing anything about the inside facts of the case, we should be prone to believe that at Winchester's the largest orders for guns for the winters hunting sea son have been filed If that is the case, then 1t is but natural that there should be something of a luli now But, aside from that, New Haveners must remember that returning prosper ity cannot be entirely measured on the basis of local conditions anywhere, Much as we may regret it and much as we all may be working to bring about a change. New Haven Is not to-day primarily manufacturing or indus trial center-not, at least, as compared with the great commercial centers of the country like Pittsburg, Lynn, Fall River and a host of others. To fairly say, then, whether national prosperity is returning 0ocal industrial fits and starts are of little avail at besO one must come to one's conclusions after taking critical survey of the whole country.
 When we take such general survey, the data which comes to hand is of the most encouraging kind For in- stance. we have the assertion of the National Association of Manufacturers representing more than 5000 plants of  various kinds, that at least 65O,OOO men, who have been Idle for months will at once find employment as a result of Mir Taft's election. Another very promising thing Is the stock market. The New York Stock Exchange, within the last week has witnessed such scenes of healthy activity as have not been seen in year or more. The standard stocks have undergone de- cided rise, among them being that of the New Haven road. This stock re- juvenation has been felt by the local brokers, whose clerks have been com pelled to work overtime to take care of all the orders.
 Again there Is the omaha Bee. which has made careful study of the rail road situation all over the country, and has made the startling and sig nificant announcement that orders have been signed since election day by the railroads for equipment and sup plies which aggregate over $24O,OOOOO Another prosperity barometer is the money order window of the postofIlces. There the change for the better finan- cially has certainly been decidedly felt It is nothing less than significant that the postmaster at Chicago should now report a money-order business exceed ing S500,000 on the day after election.
