RELIGIOUS FREEDOM

WASHINGTON, November S.-"Sec-
rotary Taft's religious faith is purely
his own private concern and not a
matter for general discussion and po-
litical discrimination" says President
Roosevelt in a letter he made public
tonight, in which he answers numer-
GUS correspondents. The President
says he deferred the publication of the
letter until now to avoid any agitation
likely to influence the election. The
letter follows:
November 6, 19OS.-My Dear Sir: 1
have received your letter running in
part as follows: While it is claimed
almost universally that religion should
not enter into politics, yet here is no
denying that it does, and the mass
of the voters that are not Catholics
will not support a man for any office,
especially the President of the United
States, who is a Roman Catholic.
Since Taft has been nominated for
President by the Republican party, II
is being circulated and is constantly

Taft that he is an infidel Unitarian
and his wife and brother Roman Ca
! tholics. If his feelings are
in sympathy with the Roman Catho-
lie church on account of his wife and
brother being Catholics, hat would
be Objectionable to a sufficient num-
Der of voters to defeat him. On the
other hand, if he is an infidel, that
would be sure to mean defeat | am
writing this letter for the sole pur-
pose of giving Mr.. Taft an opportunity
to let the world know what his reli.
gious belief is
VIEWS OF THE PRESIDENT.
'I received such letters, as yours
during the campaign, expressing dis
satisfaction with Mr.. Taft on religious
grounds; some of them on the grount
that he was a Unitarian and others OF
the ground that he was suspected t.
be in sympathy with Catholics. I dit
not answer any of these letters during
the campaign, because I regarded it a
an outrage even to agitate such
Iuuestion as a mans religious convic
lions with the purpose of influencing
Presidential election. But now tina
the campaign is over, when there

you make in your letter would leaC

them and I have selected your lette
to answer because you advance bot

Mr. Taft, namely, that he is Unitar

"You ask that Mr.. Taft shall 'lC

lief is This is his own private cor

conscience; and to require it to |

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1908-11-23

guarantees complete religious liberty
and the right to each man to act in
religious affairs as his own conscience
dictates. Mr.. Taft never asked my
advice in the matter; but If he had
asked it | should have emphatically
advised him against thus stating pub
licly his religious belief. The demand
for a statement of a candidates reli-
gious belief can have no meaning, ex-
cept that there may be discrimination
for or against him because of that be-
lief. The inevitable result of entering
upon such a practice would be an
abandonment of our real freedom Of
conscience and a reversion to the
dreadful conditions of religious dissen-
sion which in so many lands have
proved fatal to true liberty, to true
religion and fatal to advance in civili-
cation.
REFLECTION ON THE VOTERS.
Now for your objections to him be-
cause you think his wife and brother
to be Roman Catholics. As it happens
they are not; but if they were, or II
he were a Roman Catholic hereafter
it ought not to affect in the slightest
degree any mans supporting him for
the position of President You say
that the mass of voters that are not
Catholics will not support a man for
any office, especially for President OF
the United States, who is a Roman
Catholic I believe that when you say
this you foully SANDER your fellow
countrymen. | do not for one moment
believe that the mass of our fellow
citizens, or that any considerable mum.
Der of our fellow citizens, can be in
fuenced by such narrow bigotry as t
refuse to vote for any thoroughly up
right and fit man because he happens
to have a particular religious creed
Such a consideration should never b.
treated as a reason for either sup
porting or opposing a candidate FOL

were originally appropriated to pay
for the city's protection were swallow.
ed up by the greed OF those who clam.
or for the enforcement of the prohi.

consequences.
"To show that the assertions herein
made are correct, these figures, which
may be verified from the records in
the city and county clerks Office, are
given:

mitted to issue license for saloons,

High Taxation Rate.
During the years 19O4.O5 the rate
of taxataion per hundred was $3.50.
During the years 19O6-O7, after the as
sessed valuation on property was rails
ed and the revenue of saloons cut Off,
the rate of taxataion was also raised
from s19O per hundred to $40 per
hundred. Yet as indicated above, the
city is still in arrears in It's general
fund alone the astounding amount of
$1$9,5oO.
"This is the fruits of prohibition
that doesn't prohibit, from the fact
that the Wyandotte county probate
judges records show that there were,
in round numbers. 5000 sales of liquor
made in the county during the month
of December, 1907. These sales may
range in amounts from u gill to any
number of gallons. A conservative
estimate is that this does not repre-
sent twentieth part of the number of
sales OF whisky, actually made and
consumed in the city, held up by the
Temperance element, as the model pro-
hibition city OF the nation.
prom April, 1904. to April, 1905,
the revenue from saloon fines amount
ed to a little over $4,000. OF this
amount an average of about 5000 per
month, of $4,000 per year, came from
sources other than saloon fines. Dur
ing the first six months of the fiscal
year of 1905 the police. court fines
amounted to about $4,000. or a total
of $4,000 per year. nearly all of which
was derived from the saloons
