PRESIDENT-ELECT SPEAKS.

In an address lately delivered to the Protestant
ministers of Augusta President-elect Taft took ad
vantage of the occasion and expressed his views
upon the influence of the church upon civilization
and the help it extends to the state in matters of
law and order, and he was especially warm in his
praise of what the Catholic church had accom-
plished in the Philippines. Speaking about his e4
perience in the Philippines Mr.. Taft said:
Leaving out the sectional distinctions the in
dispensabe presence of church influence in the i'm
provement in our civilization no one can be blind
to who has shared in the slightest the responsibility
for government and the responsibility for improve
ment in people, as I have been. That was re
sponsibility in respect to a that is now in a
state of Christian tuteage and must be upifted in
my judgment by us and through our guidance be-
fore we shall have discharged the obligation that
Providence has thrust upon And in the study
of the development it has made it has been made
known to me the enormous influence that the
church must exercise in order to make our prog
ress there effective.
"The Catholic church was there for years and
preserved that state of Christian tutelage to which
| have referred"
The burden of all governments, Mr.. Taft went
to daily increasing ana III Ine proper us
charge of its duties it needs all the assistance it
can get, especially the moral help of the church.
A moral awakening has been going on for the past
four years. he continued and it is the churehs duty
to still further that awakening and foster in the
minds of the people the beauty of morality of JUS
tice and right In another paragraph of that speech
Mr. Taft pointed out the attitude of the American
government towards the church:
II had the honor to represent this country in
transaction of business character with Leo XIII.
at the Vatican, and there pointed out to him, with
all the emphasis possible, that the separation of
church and state in the interest of the churcl4
and that in America he could count the sus
tanning of the rights of the church and its
agement by every legitimate means the part of
the people without its assuming any governmental
function or having any governmental right, such
as it has In other countries
The Catholic church in America wants for no
more 1t can always rely upon a people whose
motto is freedom and fair play, and assured of that
it will pursue the tenor of its way, doing good
to the masses, and aiding by every means in its
power those charged with the helm of state.

PURITY OF ELECTIONS.

Immediately following the election there were
numerous allegations of fraud made in Chicago
These allegations became so loud and so specific
that the grand jury of Cook county undertook to
investigate the matter. The grand jury made
report last week in which it said:
eve find and report deplorable condition of
affairs in certain wards not ereditable to the of
feials charged by law with the conduct of cleo
lions and dsgraceful to the city of Chicago, which
has permitted such election frauds to go on al
most unquestioned until this time. We find and
report that no confidence can be placed in the re-
ported results of elections. From the facts com
ing to our knowledge we express serious doubt
whether there has been an honest general or city
election in Chicago for years past"
The Chicago newspapers were almost unani-
nous in the opinion that never before was such
a sensational grand jury report given to a court
and the public. And while it will probably be
moot question as to how the whole matter should
be dealt with, there can be but opinion as to
the necessity of maintaining restoring the pur-
ity of elections. The election of our repre-
sentatives IN congress and our state legislatures
and our city, county and state officers by popular
vote is the very foundation of our governmental
system. Once let it be known that fraud and cor
ruption rule the elections, and popular govern
ment will become farce, for then it will be
known that the people do not rule that the gov
eminent of the nation is in the hands of corrup-
tionists, and hence the whole thing rotten to the
core.
The way to have purity of elections is to start
with purity of intentions. Let every honest man
and woman in the nation vie with every other in
maintaining the invioability of the peoples right
to fair election and fair count, for in these
things is our government rested

PRIMARY ELECTION LAWS.

reform which has already occupied prom-
nent place in the political history of the country
and which will in all likelihood receive boost or
decided setback by the action of the legislatures
of the various states this winter is that known as
the primary election law. Whatever action ma
jorty of the legislatures of the states may take in
this matter will probably determine the immediate
future of this system of choosing our state county
and municipal officers.
The popular primary election got its start in the
south, where for number of years nomination
on the Democratic ticket for any Office has been
equivalent to an election. This supremacy of the
Democracy has amounted virtually to a monopoly
and in order to give the people their constitutional
rights some such scheme as the primary election
was necessary. In the northern states, however
there are quite a number which change their polit-
ical complexion or are considered in doubt every
year there is general election. Therefore the
primary election has not been generally adopted
in the north 1t has been possible to stir up suh-
cient partisanship in the northern states to make
the election a fight, and to bring out a more or
less satisfactory test of public opinion.
Nevertheless, the idea contained in the primary
election scheme has taken hold of public opinion
to extent, and such laws are on the statute
books of several northern states at the present
time and agitation has been carried on in others
which will result in the defeat or the adoption of
the scheme by the legislatures this winter 1t may
The Intermountain Catholic. (Salt Lake City [Utah] ;) 1899-1920, 1909-01-16

be that the tendency of the northern states to gro"
more certainly Republican has had to do with the
growing sentiment in favor of this system OF prl-
mary elections but however that may be, the ue-
mand of the American people seems to be hght
for the offices, and if they can't have a hight III
which there is a chance for anybody to win along
party lines, they want fight within the party
That seems to be the chief thing accomplished so
far by the operation of the law in states where 1t
has been adopted This condition. of course, leads
to much criticism among the politicians. ESpe-
ciay is this true where the best-lad plans OF the
politicians have been upset by the popular Will as
expressed at the polls. Take Oregon for instance.
In that state, where they have primary election
law it is necessary for the legislature if the mem
bers carry out their ante-electon pledges to elect
a United States senator of opposite political be1et
and convictions from majority of the members
While this condition is not admired by the polit-
Clans and the whole system has been condemned
as working against party regularity and party
fealty, the plan is being seriously considered by
other states
The general idea of the primary election law
of Oregon and the south is to give to the people
the privilege of selecting their public servants-to
bring the nominations closer to the people Wheth-
er the law does that is question which experience
can tell better than any other thing. The idea
seems to be growing in favor.

truth to moor themselves to. Yes, Mr.. Roper, we
make our confession to the priests whose sins you
shall forgive they forgiven and whose sins you
shall retain they retain Christ left the power of
binding and loosening to the apostles and their
cessors We make our confession to those appoint
ed by God to forgive us our transgressions, and
though a little removed as you say, Mr..
Roper, from heathenism, still venture in all hui
mility to say that our heathenism is more reason
able, has truth, light in it than that
pure gospel of yours which those poor benighted
souls of Blori have rejected. Catholics in all
parts of America welcome the sterling action of
the Catholics of Biloxi in mailing those base soul
less assertions of Mr.. Roper, it was certainly
beautiful example of the Roper Roped. They have
wrung public apology from Mr.. Roper and taught
others of his kidney to be careful about assertions
that have not one atom of truth.

AMERICAN SONGS.

A short time ago Salt Lake was treated to a
turn on vaudeville stage by the author of "In the
Shade of the Old Apple Tree" which was quite en-
tertaining. Among other things we learned that
that song "Under the Shade of the Old Apple
Tree" had met with the greatest success of any
song ever produced in America, and then he pro-
eeeded to read the figures which we very promptly
forgot Down Went McGinty" was another song
that produced large revenue in dollars and Gents.
If we remember rightly, that second on the list
That was very much like story of an old miser
who heard the expression of famous poet that
he cared not who made the laws of nation if he
could make their songs. The old mser immediate
ly wanted to know how much more profitable song
writing was compared to making laws. That, how
ever was before the disclosures in the recent cam
paign.
But nobody plays or sings "Down Went Nc
Ginty' any more. And "Under the Shade of the
Old Apple Tree" though rather pleasing melody,
is not as popular it was few months back
And even though these two songs produced the
largest revenue in the history of American song
writing, they will soon be forgotten while some
others will live on and on enduring forever While
the author of the apple tree song may have re-
ceived a goodly revenue, the author of my Old
Kentucky Home" has had monument erected to
his memory in Kentucky, and the same man, who
also wrote Way Down Upon the Shawnee River
is to have monument erected to his memory in
Florida
The man who wrote these songs probably did
not receive nearly as large a revenue in dollars and
cents as the author of the modern songs which the
author told us about. But he wrote himself into
the hearts of the people not only of his day and
generation but for all time seemingly Practically
everybody knows the airs and few of the words
to these songs, and they are sung in thousands of
homes not only in America but in the old coun-
tries as we'll They are included in programs given
in Germany and France and England and other

countries when entertainments arranged Tor the
benefit of visiting Americans. Why2 Because
everybody in America who knows any songs at all
knows these two. a few years ago it was Com
rades," Down on the Farm Marguerite" "After
the Bal" "Two Little Girls in Blue" and others ad
infinitum, but MY Old Kentucky Home" and
"Swanee Ribber" as it was originally written have
held their places through all the popular songs of
the day, and have lost none of their sweetness
among those who have liking for the old-fash-
Toned air and the old-fashoned sentiment
The man who made these two typicaly Ameri-
can songs Stephen Collins Foster a native of
Pittsburg, Pa, where he was born in 1926 And
these are not the only songs which he wrote that
achieved more than a national popularity. Among
his other ballads which hold warm place in the
hearts of the people are Gentle Annie" "Old Dog
Tray" willie, We Have Missed You" and "Nellie
Bly," Besides these ballads, Foster wrote a quar-
tete which still remains popular favorite in many
household, Come Where Ny Love Lies Dream
ing" dreaming the happy hours away.
''My Old Kentucky Home" was written good
many years before the civil but the words have
undergone no modification since that time. To
many the words, especially those in the second
stanza, seem like prophecy of a mighty change
which was to take place in the southland. The
ond stanza is as follows:
They hunt no more for the possum and the
On the meadow, the hill, the shore;
They sing by the gmmer of the moon,
On the bench by the old cabin door;
The day goes by like a shadow DER the heart,
With sorrow where all was delight;
The time has come when the darkies have to part,
Then, my old Kentucky home, good night
And the words and the air will be remembered
and sung when everybody has forgotten all about
McGinty and the old apple tree. And the monu-
ments in Kentucky and Florida will stand when
the author of each has long been forgotten.

marvellous success of the Catholic church lie deeper
than those usually assigned for it" And they lie
far deeper than the ones Mr.. Benninger gives The
