CATHOLICS LOYAL
Says President Taft to X. c. Club Of
Portland, Ore.

In addressing the Knights of Column
bus at Portland, Oregon, President
Taft says that Catholics should be 10y
al because of their religion.
Instead of being reason why you
cannot be patriotic, loyal sons of tho
United States, willing to yield up your
lives il occasion calls" said the Presi-
dent, "the fact that YOU are members
of the Roman Catholic Church in the
are such patriotic, loyal citizens.
You live in country where all re-
ligon and religious worships are free,
and YOU live where the state supports
no church. and where there is no state
church. but the fact that INC constitu-
tion does not recognize i state church
is far from being an indication that
we do not favor churches in this coun-
try and do not give them the highest
protection and do not feel that they
are essential to the life and moral be-
ing Of the country.
"The church that has no state sup
port is much better for the church than
the condition where the state eXer-
cises some control. 1t has been my
good fortune to come closely into re-
lationship with some of the hierarchy
of the Catholic Church in the settle
ment of problems in the Philippines
and with the Pope himself.
II have had in the Philippines to
separate the Roman Catholic Church
and the state and ] am bound to say
that this process of separation pre-
sents a serious crisis, because the peo-
pie of the Philippines had been used
to state support of their church. 1t is
not so easy to change a people like
that from one condition to the other,
but 1 am very hopeful that the prob
lem is being worked out, difficult as
it is."

Governor Dix. twas asserted 22s years
ago almost to the day, for the first
time in American history, the right Of
the people to participate in their own
government-the foundation law of
our entire political structure. In no
Colonial documents elsewhere are the
words people met in General AS
sembly' to be found, and this phrase
marks the first epoch in the political
history of New York as we know it
and in the rise and development of
free institutions in America. This first
representative assembly of New York

James, just below us, near the Bat

siding officer and master spirit was
Thomas Dongan, appointed Septem-
ber 30, 1852, Governor of the Province
by the grace of James, Duke of York,
in the reign of Charles II.
Our assemblage, large as it is, is
but a meagre unit in the millions of
humanity who have down the ages
since his time benefited through this
brave and broad minded legislation of
Governor Dongan. 1t is a pleasure to
recall that this generation has done
more than any preceding generation
in two centuries toward retrieving
from the desolating debris of time the
services to America and mankind of
this great man."
Governor Dix described the military
service to the Stuarts and to France
of the Irish General who was shabbily
treated by Louis XIV and scolded by
his royal masters because Of his con-
sideration for the people. He came to
New York facing tempestuous situa-
ton, said the Governor, since his
predecessors had broken faith and had
ruled harshly, but the people Of the
province believed in him and found
no cause to regret their trust.
Here the Governor quoted the COM
1nent of this historian Channing.
''The appointment of this Roman
Catholic was one of those providential
I chances which have so often befallen
