unicated.

Editor Courier-As there seems to
be an effort on foot to inject the
discussion Of religious questions into
the present presidential campaign,
wish to tell your readers just what
| think about it.
In the first place, it is very unwise
and un. American to prejudice the
claims of any candidate for office on
account Of his religious belief. The
fathers of this republic very wisely
provided against religious legislation.
They knew, as every student oflhis-
tory knows today, that there had al
ways been less liberty in theocracy
than in any other form of govern.
ment. They could foresee the dangers
to which the people would be exposed
If too much authority should be given
to the so called clergy.
1t i said that Mr.. Taft should not
BE- ected because he believes in mi.
tariauism. Now l believe that Mr..
Taft should not be elected, but not on
account OF his religion, bat because
Mr.. Bryan represents better plat
form OF political principles. / shall
do all that l can to secure the election
of W. j. Bryan, but while l am doing
this, shall keep up my record for
political and religious fairness and
take no undue advantage OF my op-
ponents. As indiviusls, Taft and
Bryan are both clean men. Politic-
ally, Mr.. Taft represents that class of
men who are seeking to absorb the
wealth Of this country through class
k igslation, while Mr.. Bryan repre-.
sent' that class Of men who believe in
equal rights to all and special privi-
leges 10 none. l honestly think that
Mr.. Bryan is far 10 advance Of Mr..
Taft as statesman.
If Mr.. Taft Is Unitarian, it only
proves that his religion is in advance
of his politics. 1t proves that he
knows something abont the Bible.
Jesus Christ, himself. was a Unitar-
ian. He believed In the ultimate
triupmh Of all good and the final de-
struction Of all evil. THIS is Uni.
tartan SIN in a nutshell. The unitar-
ian believes that we should be free 10
investigate any and all questions and
that no iron bound creed should be
imposed as a test Of church fellowhip.
The superstitious of the past. are
passing away, and the time is coming
when all men will do right for the
sake of right.

WITCHCRAET AND RAINFALL.
African Natives Punish Members OF
Tribe Who They blame 1 or Drought,

Native superstitioas which one
would have thought had died out long
ago from among natives coming into
such close contact with Europeans as
natives do nowadays have been re-
vived lately by the long continued
drought that the country is suffering
under. They are convinced that moth
ing less than witchcraft is at the
bottom of it, and they are all ON the
lookout for the "2oatagati."
A few weeks ago the natives OF
Moamba accused native named Ma
helembaan OF witchcraft and OF with
holding rain. All his goods were
seized and thrown into the Komatie
River. Maheiembaan fed to the fort
and placed himself under the protec-
ton Of the commandant Of the Sable.
Last week another native named
Bob. living south OF the line on the
Sikongene spruit, was accused OF
witchcraft by having drawn an invisi-
BILE skin over the skies to prevent rain
from falling. He was seized by big
crowd Of angry natives, tied up and
severely beaten. His wives and chill
dren were carried on, his goats killed
and eaten and all his property
was destroyed MARQUES

some to spare.
He set proof that showed up clean, and
did his work mp right.
He never shirked by day SO he could

in-and they did look different"
All the while the interested Jessie
was waving and fussing and explain
ing the customer sat looking steadily
at the floor. A dim pink had risen
in her cheeks because of the unusual
happening. When at last jessie
stepped back with a sigh and said
"There!" she raised her eyelids with
difficulty and shyness, but the sight
in the mirror drove panic from her
mind in sheer surprise.
II never saw such change as do

murmured in triumph.
The face in the mirror was that OF
an interested, rather handsome wom-
an of delicate features surmounted
by waves and puffs of soft brown hair
just touched with silver. The per-
fectly curved pompadour was at
exactly the right angle, and the
whole effect of the head was that of

Isis that-me?" the customer
gasped.
In daze she put on her oldfash-
toned hat and in a daze she went
home. The woman in her, pleased
and excited. yearned to display the
change to the folks at home; and yet
shyness held her. She was afraid of
her own sudden good looks. The
strangeness overpowered her. She
went into dinner in furry.
Across the table the elderly man
with the chin whiskers held his knife
and fork in either hand as he stared.
"Geewhillikens:" he breathed.
What has happened to you, mother?
You look queer.
Don't you like it," faltered the
woman.
