MAY WEAR RELIGIOUS GARB.
Secretary Fisher Is Upheld by President
Taft.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 23.-Secre-
tary Fishers action, last January, in re-
voking the order of former Indian Com
missioner Valentine, barring religious
garb or insignia from government Indian
schools, was upheld by President Taft,
in an order made public yesterday.
The decision of the president is that
teachers now employed in Indian schools
may continue to wear the garb of their
religious orders; but the privilege is de-
MED to any persons hereafter entering
the service. This ruling will enable the
government to fulfill its obligations, the
president says, to the teachers who were
taken into the government service when
religious schools were taken over bodily
as government institutions.
The presidents ruling is the final step
in controversy that has engaged the in
terror department with religious bodies
more than year. Commissioner Valen-
tines order would have prohibited any
teacher from wearing religious gsrb in
the Indian schools after the end of the
last school year.
President Taft's order, and a letter
from Secretary Fisher to Mr.. Valentine,
which accompanies it, lay stress on the
fact that Commissioner Valentine issued
his ruling without consulting the secre-
tary. or the president; and while the en-
tire subject was under investigation Mr.
Fishers revocation of the order now is
made final.

BODY AS HIS SONS
Mckinley Mathews, Aged 10, Died at
Point au Roche, P, O., of Exposure
Left His Home Sept. Is.

| Middlebury, Sept. 23.-The body OF
the unknown man found in the hay in a
warehouse at Point au Roche, p. O., was

struggle to escape, as was shown by his
shoes, which We're worn from his feet
at the heels. The lower tiers of hay
were torn nearly quarter off.
Mathews disappeared from his home
while his parents were away, and his
wandering of is thought to have been
due to a sudden attack of insanity. as if
is known that he suffered fall earlier
in the morning, when he struck on his
head. 1t is thought that he crawled into
the warehouse to sleep and that he
rolled off into crevice. where he had
probably lain for several days.

were cap purchased at Middlebury
store, ticket to the Middlebury fair,
and initials on his collar. Telegraphic
communication was had with authorities
here, and the description Of the body
was given to the young mans father,
who went Friday to view the body.

most peaceful Sunday he has had since

Mr.. White, who is a progressive ma

Roosevelt this morning and in the after

to the people of Emporia in the interests
of Colonel Roosevelt to give the man
the one thing in the world he needs most,
rest"
Let Emporia show him that if he
wants to sit on the front porch and read
the papers he can do il, and attract no
more attention than any other man
doing the same thing"

enabled all Americans to look the world
in the face and say that our pretensions
to absolute freedom were founded on
fact and did not need the saving OF
exceptions in order to make them truth
full.
"AIr. Lincoln suffered greatly by the
criticism and abuse of those who thought
he did not act quickly enough in issuing
the emancipation proclamation, and later
from the attacks of those who thought
the act was a great mistake. Now. as
we look back upon it. we realize that
his selection of the time was most fortu-
nate. He delayed action until he could
take it as war measure under the con-
stitution and could defend what he did
as within his lawful power as command
er-in-chief of the army and navy in the
prosecution of the war.
"The emancipation did not free all the
slaves. 1t could not free those who Were
in territory not within the arena Of
war; but after he had issued this proc
lamation, the completion of the steps
needed to secure the abolition of slavery
as constitutional amendment was Il
necessity and only matter of time
1t is right, then, that Lincoln should
be held up in history as the man chief
ly responsible for the freedom OF the
negro.
II sincerely hope that your celebration
will be as successful as the greatness of
the subject of your gathering merits"
