TAFT's CHURCH DEAL.
He Tells of Purchase of Friars' Lands
in the Philippines.

The st. Paul Dispatch prints CORE
spondence which passed between the
Rev. Angus Larsen, pastor of the Swed-
ish Baptist church of st. Paul, Mimi,
and Judge William H. Taft, as to Judge
Taft Is attitude toward the Catholic
church in the Philippines. Judge Taft's
reply to Mr.. Larsen inquiry is dated
October 9, and is in part as follows:
"My Dear Sir: have your letter of
September 26. You ask me whether
100000 were paid to the aCtholic
church out of the United States treas
ury on my recommendation. I reply
that it was not. The friars' agricul-
tural lands in the Philippines-42 900
acres, or about that amount-were pur-
chased from the corporation formed by
the three orders of the friars in the
Philippines, and the money was paid
from bonds issued by the Philippine
government on the authority of con-
gress and is charge upon the Philip
pine islands. The purchase was ap-
proved by the Filipinos.
Gin speech in New York did not
make a plea for the Roman Catholic
church in the Philippines, except to
say this: "That the influence of all
the churches in the Philippines was
necessary for the uplifting of the peo-
pie and therefore that every one would
desire the prosperity of all the churches
and that as the Roman Catholic church
had the largest following, every one,
Protestants or Catholics, would desire
its prosperity; that it was in a de-
plorable condition, due to the change
from a situation in which the govern
ment paid its expenses, to one in which
it was bound to look TO its parish
toner's for support, the latter being in
the habit of deriving benefit from the
churches and not contributing to it, -
Judge Taft says that the present
governor is a Roman Catholic, but he
is one of the most careful men in leg
islation and an impartial man. He
said the purchase of the friar lands,
with their 10000 tenants, was politi-
cal necessity and averted a second rev.
osution.
Judge Taft adds: 81 am not a Cath
ohC and have not been affiliated with
the Catholic church. All / have at
tempted to do was to do justice to
that church and to the Filipino peo-
pie. I have treated that church ex-
actly as I would have treated any
other church. -

MIME. LILLIAN NORDICA.
Worlds Greatest Singer.
SPOKANE THEATER, SPOKANE.

Some knowledge of the busy life of
Nine. Lillian Nordica, who is to appear
in Wagnerian opera selections at the
Spokane Saturday evening of this
week, may be gained from study of
her repertoire, list of which indi-
Gates that she has learned and sung not
only, but sometimes two, roles in the
same opera, memorizing the text in
French, Italian and German, according
to the demands of the cast presenting
it. The operas in which she has
achieved success number thirty-one,
and while her fame, perhaps, rests
largely upon her success in Wagnerian
opera, her Carmen and Juliette, her
Aida, her Marguerite and her Lucia
are scarcely less famous than her i'm
presentations Of the wonderful women
of Wagner.
In reference to her Wagnerian roles
it is interesting to note that Anton
Seidl, whose death was such a serious
loss to art, was the first to encourage
the singers aspirations in this direc
ton. He had full faith in the outcome
of her high ideals and assisted hel
geratly in directing her studies.
Remember the date-Saturday even
ing, November %.
Nine. Lillian Nordica will be sup
ported by her own company in selec
tions from grand opera.

Manila Demands Tars.

Manila, Nov. 24.-The question of al
lowing the men from the Atlantic bat

of the cholera situation in Manila is

posing that part of the program
originally planned by the city for the

out. There has been but one case of
cholera and two suspects in Manila dur

had done her.

 There is a sort of vague. but none the less imperative. feeling abroad in the land that one who has occupied the great office of president holds in trust for his fellow citizens certain dig nifty. which in his conduct and manner of life he is bound to protect against loss or deterioration.
 Obedience to this obligation. which can hardly be avoided. limits the ex- president in his choice of an occupa- ton and means of livelihood. and pre- scribes for him only such work as in popular judgment is not undignified: and it also enforces a scale of living on his part, frequently less in keeping with his financial ability than with popular conceptions of ex-presidential propriety.-Ex- President Cleveland in The Youths Companion.

PRICES WERE ELEVATED

 Extensive Profit Taking.

New York. Jan. 10.-After the open ing there was q buoyant upshoot of prices which gave material extension to the rise yesterday. then maintain ing an appearance of great activity for a time. it began to hp manifest that professional operators in the stock market had been busy taking profits. After the hurly burly of the days transactions the later market became dull and hesitating. The in flow of cash from the interior was larger than last week. the balance in favor of New York's export movement being estimsJed approximately at $S.000.000. The arrivals of the last gold engagements were sufficient to overbalance small absorption of sub treasury operations. The market ral- lied briIkly from a sharp reaction when these figures appeared. The financial news of some railroad sys- tens of which the credit is not high gave rise to renewed misgivings. The pressure on Southern railway securi- ties was especially conspicuous. There was weak closing under the in- fluence of the slump in Southern rail- way stocks. Bonds were irregular

CANAL HEADQUARTERS
 TELEPHONE MAIN 6I
Many Farmers Confound the Reclama- ton Service With the Water Users Association.

Some farmers who encounter diff culties or seek information in respect of the irrigation of their land. are seemingly laboring under a misappre- hensiOn concerning the actual head quarters of water administration in this valley. They seem to think that the administration is now under the direction of the Water Users associa- tion, when in fact. that organization has 20 more to do with ii now than the war department. though it expects to have charge of it sOmeday. The plan of the entire project is to turn it over eventually to the association. but that is after the Roosevelt dam is built and the announcement has been made of what lands shall have water. and other preliminaries of the govern ment's plan have been complied with. In the meantime the government has bought the canals in trust. and is it. self administering them, through the reclamation service. The above re- marks are called out by the fact that every day. from one to a dozen farm CTS call up the Water Users associa- tion over the telephone. to inquire
 
 United States Reclamation service. Main 61 instead of Main 6s. both in- stitutions having offices in the same building.

The Water Users association has no de- sire to be unaccommodating and al- ways furnishes the information. but it makes more bother in that office and a great deal more trouble and loss of time on the part of the farmers who are seeking information. than if they were to call direct to Phone Main 61.

THE OBLIGATIONS OF
 AN EX-PRESIOENT.

It is most gratifying to note how the private lives. our ex-Presidents are made grateful and bright by the gen erous attachment and spontaneous kindness manifested toward them by their fellow countrymen.
 The American people are the best people in the world; and the honor and respect with which they follow to his retirement one who has served them in the highest office within their gift. il- lustrates the innate nobility of the American character. In the light of these reflections. the biographer of one of our early Presidents seems to have unfortunately yielded to the tempta- ton of striking statement when he wrote concerning the subject of his sketch, that at the expiration of his term as President. he found himself that melancholy product of the Amer ican governmental system-an ex- President"
 How can it be that our government tai system" places the president on the highest pinnacle of honor. and yet de- crees that as ex-president he is but a melancholy product" doomed to un- escapably sad conditions? Is there neither comfort nor honor in his re- lease from exhausting presidential labor and perplexity, in the respect and esteem accorded to him by his fellow citizens on every side. and the neighborly welcome that greets him OH his return to the fellowship of private station?
 The truth is. that our people, so far from treating their ex-presidents sim ply as relics of past hOnors. seem dis posed not only to bestow. upon them

NEITHER A MURDERER
 NOR SHffPHERDFR
Frank Burton Was a Victim of Mis- taken Identity Last Night.

Frank Burton was arrested last night by Deputy Sheriff McCann on the sus- picion that he was a man wanted in oregon for murder. MT Burton was taken to the office of the sheriff. where he quickly proved that he was not the man wanted but that he had lived in Arizona continuously for sev- eral years. He was married here. but for a long time has been living in and about Globe where he has been em- pioyed at the Black Hawk. the Inspir- alton. the Gibson and various other mines as shift boss and foreman.
 In a general way and in some partic- ulars he answered the description of the oregon murderer who is blue eyed and bald headed. He is also a sheep herder.
 Mir. Burton expressed some annoy ance at having been mistaken for murderer. but he said he could stand that. The thing that particularly ground him was having been mistaken for sheep herder. He is not sure that he has not been left with a ground of action of some kind.
