to the appointment Of supervisors

would not permit the building up
Of a partisan machine ia the census

President Taft on Religion.

President Taft was the principal
speaker Monday, at the 215th an
niyersary of Norwich, Connecticut,
and in the course CT remarks had
the following to say on the subject
of religion:
We speak with satisfaction of
the fact that our ancestors, and l
claim New England ancestry, came
to this country in order to establish
freedom of religion Well, if you
are going to be exact, they came to
this country to establish freedom
of their own religion and not, the
freedom of anybody else's religion.
The truth is that in those days
such a thing as freedom of religion
was not understood. We look with
considerable horror and with a
great deal of condemnation on
those denomination that punished
our ancestors because our ancestors
wished to have a different Ind Of
religion, but when our ancestors
got here in this country and ruled,
they intended to have their own
religion and no other.
But we have past beyond that
and out of the friction, out of the
denominational preiudices of the
past, we have developed a freedom
of religion that came naturally and
logically as we went on to free
institutions. 1t came from those
very men who built up your COM
munity and made its character.
The Rev. James Fitch could not
look upon any other religion in
this community with any degree Of
patience, but is descendants, as
firm in their faith as he was, now
see that the best way to promote
Christianity and the worship of
God and religion is to let every
man worship God as he chooses.
This community was we'll supervised
by the clergy and they did we'll by
the clergy,
The truth is, my dear friends,
we have a great teal of discussion
of free government and references
made to the declaration of indi-
pendence which this day celebrates.
And some people so construe that
instruement that they would make
it mean that anybody of men or
children or women are born with
the instinct of self government so
that they can frame a government
as soon as they begin to talk
Now, that is not true. Self
government has been fought out in
the history of this world and by
certain races had been hammered
out by a thousand years Of struggle.
Men have taught themselves how
to govern themselves. They are
not fit to govern themselves until
they have sense and self rertraint
enough to know what is their inter
est and to give every other man all
that is coming to him according to
right and justice.
Now, what was true with
respect to our ancestors is also true
with respect to many races in this
world today They have. to be led
on and taught the principle and
lesson of self-government Our
ancestors by wise attention to the
home government for nearly 300
years came to be the best prepared
people there were in the world for
I-government
