PRESIDENT TAFTS RELIGION.

The Journal has received letters
from various quarters from time to
tine asking information as to Presi-
den, Tafrs religious beliefs. We can
say 10 these and other readers in
tenrested in the matter that President
Taft is deyout believer in the
Christian reli gon. He belongs to
the Unitarian church, and is a con-
sis,ent member and regular attend
ant at church services. He has the
broadest charity for all branches OF
evangelical Christianity and every
genuine religious agency has his
warm sympathy and support.
In a recent sermon on President
Taft's religion DR. John Wesley Hill,
president of the International Peace
society, thus referred to the matter
that has been misrepr esented for po
litical effect In some quarters:
Born of goodly parents and reared
in an atmosphere bdtuIdlcu WIN Inv
Puritan spirit, his character and ca
reer rest upon that religious basis
which has developed his sense OF per-
sonal accountability to God, love or
truth and justice, sensitiveness to the
feelings OF others, reverence for sa-
cred things, adherence to law and
order, fidelity to duty and devotion
to the spread of the Christian CIV
ilization,"
The Journal has been asked II the
president is Catholic. He is not
The wife OF Henry w. Taft, the presi-
dents brother, is Catholic, but that
is the nearest denominational con
nection the president has with that
church. He showed his broad toler-
ace of all creeds, however when ne
recently took occasion to countermahd
an unwise order OF subordinate
that proved offensive to the Cathollcs.
He also showed his ready sympathy
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1912-10-14

! with the Jews, not as religionists
but as citizens, when he abrogated
the Russian treaty that Disseminated
AGAINST them on religious grounds
In numerous speeches the president
has reflected his religious sympathy
which IS greater than any particular
denominatio or dogma although his
personal adherence is given to the
more conservative OF the two branch
es OF the Unitarian church, founda-
ton doctrine Of which is the divin-
itv of Christ.
DR.. Hill closed the sermon referred
TO in the following conclusive words;
Measured, therefore, from all
these viewpoints; by his faith in AL
mighty God; his belief in Christ
Christian education, evangelism, mis-
sions and civilizations by his unfail-
ing dependence upon Providence; his
familiarity with the Word OF God
and his sincere attempt to bring his
life into harmony with tho precepts
Of that word by his habit OF prayer;
bv his church membership and his
respect for all churches and co-opera-
ton in tn cir work; by his enthus-
ism in furthering all good causes; by
his moderation in all things and the
fact that he IS a total abstainer; by
the transparent cleanness OF his pri-
vate life and his unfailiny devotion
to the Christian civilization upon
which the nation is founded, ! pre-
sent him as a modest, consistent, con-
sc,entious Christian man whose up
right. godly life maintains the his
tolic purity and beauty OF the white
house and stands as a n 'Gel TO be

The Oklahoma wage Garner If he
is intelligent is not likely to be de-
ceived by the eleventh hour protesta
tions OF friendship for labor by a few
republican candidates for office. The
republican party, when in control OF
the old Territory of Oklahoma, did
nothing for labor. 1t fought the pro-
pressive constitution which guarantees
the rights of labor. 1t opposed the
bulk OF the labor legislation now on
the statute books of Oklahoma The
promises now made are not the prom
ises of the republican party, out
a small band of politicians who are
ready to do anything to catch rev
votes. The democratic party has
demonstrated its friendship for labor.
and its sense of justice and fairness
as a matter of principle. Therefore,
the intelligent laboring man will con-
tinue to vote the democratic ticket.

The first principle Of honest politics
is faithful representation of the pop
ular will. The time has passeG
when the people are willing to elect
n few men TO discharge important
functions without any knowledge OF
what their chosen servants propose

candidates for the legislature say
what sort of laws they will favor and
that candidates for executive and ad-

to the confidence as to the policy
they will pursue.
