LETTERS OF THE PEOPLE.
NY Tnft's Rclleion.

To the Editor of The Journal Courier
 The fact that Hon W. F. Taft ls a Unitarian in his religious belief and church membership is being made the basis of much attack, Tn tao interest of fair play the full facts should be stated
 Ii has been charged that Mir. Taft Is not q Christian Without discussing tho question as to whether joining any church proves that a man ls really a Christian, it may be stated that the Untarians are believers in the Chris tian faith In a national conference, a common basis of belief was found Tn the statement that We accept the roc lieion Of Jesus, holding in accordance with his teaching that practical re- lgion is summed I'D in love to God and love to man
 Unitarian belief has further been expressed in the five principles. adopt cd by practically all tho churches, We believe in the Fatherhood of Cod, the brotherhood of man. tho leader ship of Jesue, salvation by character the progress of mankind onward and upward forever"
 II has also been charged that Mir Taft denies toe divinity of Jesus Christ As a matter of fact. the Uni- tarian church does not stand for any particular theory of the nature of Jesus It maintains that the real re- lieous and Christian duty Is to follow him as a great leader in spiritual life. The particular conception as to what Jesus was, is entirely a personal mat ter. with which the church has noth- ing to do
 The distinctive characteristics of the Unitarian church is Its frank adoption of the rational principle in religion It insists that religion shall be treated in i the scientific spirit of free inyestiga- | ton It asserts the authority of the ! Individual reason and holds that no statement should be accepted that does not approve itself to ones intel ! lect as being worthy Of belief
 The Unitarian church offers a free 1 fellowship, It holds tlgt freedom is 1 absolutely essential to religious de- | yelopment Every member Is at lib- erty to form his own conception of the truth, and is expected to be true to it. however much it may differ From the belief of others. There ls n1 hint of conformity or compulslon. The common basis of union is q desire tc know the truth and to do the good
 There is the fullest acceptance of the principle of progress in religion IL aflirms a God of modern life, ar enlargine revelation of Ills will and truth and an ever progressing faith keeping pace with the advancement of human thought and evolution. Upl. tariansn simply insists upon having in religion the same liberty that al Americans claim in all other realms of thought and action.

WILLIAM d. sLoCUM.

A great many citizens Of the state of Connecticut, who never came under the prostly administrations of Father alocum Of Waterbury, will mourn his death equally with those who knew him both as man and a priest, Through sheer force of character and faithful service to the church, which he digniaod by is connection with 1t, he rose to distinguished official posi- tion in 1t and was held in the highest esteem by au
 Father Slocum was man of fascin- ating personality from whatever point of view one approached him. Deeply religious in his convictions and feel ings that side of his nature served to bring out the deep, rich tints of Nis broad humanity He was man of influence and priest of authority be- cause he was at all times moved by love of mankind, and a keen under standing of the weakness of human nature. He knew himself first and that led to his acquiring knowledge of the men he came into contact with the two influences working constantly together to widen the sphere of his usefulness and to develop the tender CT sides ot his own nature It was this unusual combination of striking characteristics which made him one of the recognized men 5f Waterbury. Ia force for good and for progress which that city could III afford to have withdrawn. No single community has ever been known to be overstocled with men of the fibre of William J. slocum, though they are at all times needed for the public good.
 The friends which Father slocum made when he was a resident priest here in New Haven remained his friends until the last They were fre- quently and necessarily separated, but the old understanding was never weakened by conflicting experiences, the sweet companionship never changed by prolonged absence. These 
 old friends minele to-day their tears with the tears of the friends made later in life and between whom no possible conflict can arise as To the right of each to mourn upon equal terms with the other at the loss of good man.

LETTERS.

To use a sporting and, for that reason. rather inelegant term, W. P. Hearst had the country "eroegv for the space of a few days after he be- gan reading his now famous letters from the private flies of the Standard oil company, letters which pointed the finger of suspicion, if not of accus- ation at not a few of the most prom inent men in the land. Just what the effect of the letters will he, or even what effect Mir Hearst hoped they would have, has never been wholly apparent. It does not seem at all probable that the letters will prove to have resulted in turning many TO- publican or democratic vdtos over to the independence party on November third.
 The statement is made in the sen sational story of the theft of the let- ters in this weeks issue of Golfers that by far the most startling of the letters in Mir Hearst's possession have not as yet been read by him. Mir. Hearst hasn't begun to read the best of the letters," says Charles stump, who was the white go-hetweon in the letter transaction, in the Golfers in- ttrview. Hes begun easy, Wait till l you hear him read the Senator Pom rose and the Senator Aldrch letters. ] Then therell be a sensation Whats 1 happening now is nothing If Sona- 1 tors Penrose and Adrich are to be hit harder than Senator Foraker and Gov ernor Haskell were, the letters will make Interesting reading, indeed. Col- Hers says it understands it has been Mir Hearst's intention to put out tho Penrose and Aldrich material about November first. A news dispatch from Indianapolis, Wednesday, stated how ever, that MT Hearst has expressed his intention of making public new letters in New York tomorrow night declaring that these letters are far better than any he has yet given to the public.
 ,l in political campaigns to save the best material in q campaign fight for the last moment somewhat the same as one might sate ones best trumrs for the last tricks of d game of whist, is not by any means an advisable one. It is highly questionable whether many voters entirely make over their political opinions al the last moment. on the eve of election, as tho result of an cleventh-hour, grand stand po- litical play If then, Mir Hearst hoped to make the best campaign cap ital out of his letters SO surreptitiously obtained, it is we'll that he has decided to play his hand earlier When polit- ical evidence comes in at the last mo- ment the voters realize that the other side has not been able to offer refuta- ton and they dscrodit it accordingly
 Mr. Hearst is not the only man 9it- ally concerned in the coming elections who has had letters to make public. Another such man is Mr. LJlleN of this state, who on several separate occa- slons has attempted to beguilt the

IDEALS OF CITIZENSHIP.
The Assumption by Each of His Full Share of the Bur-

The nation that would grow from great to greater must bring the vast majority of it's citizens to cherish the principles upon which the government is founded to know the nations experiences and to render ser vice that may be described briefly consisting in eff cient performance by all of the duties prescribed for all and by the assumption of each of his full share of the burdens of government Citizenship of this kind is no mere ideal II is composite of ideals and ac ton.
