NEW YORK. Aug. 27.-Presdent

Washington. Mrs Taft is and always
has been an Episcopaliau. She is a

Johns Episcopal church in Washing
ton. popularity known as The Church
Of the Presidents" because so many of
the nations chief executives have at
tended 1t. IL seems almost trite to
state such well known facts as these.
but it also seems necessary to do so
because of an undetermined campaign
against the president which is being
carried on in certain parts Of the coun-
try, some going so far in their perver-
sion of the facts as to assert that Mrs.
Taft is a Roman Catholic.
In this same connection, ! wish to
brand as absolutely false the state
ment being circulated in the same quar-
tiers that President Taft sent Major
Butt to the vatican to procure from the
pope the support of the Catholics in
this country, the statement that Mr.
Taft has attended Catholic services for
political purposes, and the further
statement that the president has been
unduly favorable to Catholics. Every
one Of these statements is not only
false. but wholly without foundation. It
is sad reflection on the presidents OPP
ponents that they should stoop to such
unworthy methods-although it indi
Gates how seriously they fear that Pres
ident Taft will defeat them.
Just to All the Creeds,
President Taft is a just man, and,
being a just man. he has been perfect
ly just to Catholics, precisely as he has
been to every other denomination. He
is irrevocably opposed to any union of
church and state. and never hesitates to
say so. and nothing he has ever done
has tended in that direction. These
facts are well known to all who come
in close touch with the president, who
have an opportunity to learn his views
at first hand and to observe his acts at
close range II is somewhat remark
able that in these days Of free and rap
i'd communication between all parts Of
the country II should be possible to
mislead any one regarding such obvious
facts But unfortunately it Is, and
even Masons have been heard to assert
that the presidents is Catholic, APP
parently ignorant of the fact that the
president in addition to being a Unita-
rian, is himself Mason.
President Taft's whole course in the
white house. in the cabinet and in the
Philippines has been guided by an in
tense desire to live up to his concep-
ton of a just man and in the white
house to be president Of all the people,
North and South, East and West, Prot
estant and Catholic. religious and non
religious In the Philippines he was
called upon TO conduct many negotia-
tions with the Catholic church, begin

on politics and candidates readily and
freely. and when there were no grounds
for divisions there had been an EZRA of
good feeling" party lines for the time
being completely disappeared.
But when office holding became
profession, and public servants found
their chief incentive in their pay, it was
soon recognized that solidarity among
the voters meant long tenure for the
officeholder and continuous pay. Then
to leave the party became a species of
apostasy. 1t was denounced as i'm
moral.
The two old parties rely today upon
the survival of this absurd and degrad-
ing idea, and are daily appealing to it,
on behalf of candidates and measures
which can not stand upon their merits.

ALL RELIGIONS JUSTLY
TREATED BY PRESIDENT,
SAYS CHARLES d. HILLES

by President Mckinley to induce the
pope to compel the friars. or monks, in
the Philippines to part with their i'm
mense land holdings at a reasonable
price.
Splendid Bargain Made.
There are probably few Americans
who realize the magnitude Of the I'M
dertaking which President Mckinley
confided to Mr.. Taft
But President Taft achieved il with
such infinite tact that he made no enc
mics in Rome and yet perfected a bar
gain which. even from the standpoints
Of Yankee shrewdncss, must be pro-
nounced a good one These lands ag-
gregated 100000 acres Of the best lands
in the Philippines They were occu-
pied by 10000 people. the heads of the
families being tenant farmers. The
lands were purchased with funds raised
by Philippine bonds, and every tenant
was given an opportunity to become a
land owner On terms which would REIN
burse the government, and yet so easy
that all could avail themselves Of the
opportunity
The purchase of these lands accom-
plished even more. The friars were al
most entirely Spaniards Their civil
loyalty was all to Spain. and they were
not in sympathy with the United States
or with American ideals Of government.
In 1898 there were l00S Of these friars
in the islands. Immediately after the
purchase of their lands 762 left the
Philippines. OF the remaining 246, 50
were aged and infrm and unable TO do
any work, and SO, Dopinicans. had re-
nounced the right to go into any par
ishes, leaving only 1l3 active men, a
large percentage Of whom were engaged
in teaching in the Catholic schools and
colleges. In the opinion of those com
petent to Judge. the friar lands nego-
tiations constituted diplomatic
triumph for the United States and for

Exact Justice and No More.
President Taft has treated the Cath
olics with exact justice and no more
He has done the same for every de-
nomination with which he has come in
contact. If there is any sect for which
he has done exceptional favors it is the
Jews, but even in their case he has done
only justice and he has done It for
them as race, rather than as mem
bers of any religion He won their un-
failing gratitude when he abFogatcd the
treaty with Russia because that coun-
try persisted in its refusal to recognize
the rights of American Jews He won
their admiration and respect when he
nterfered in behalf Of Private Frank
Bloom and Censured the army officer
who sought to prevent Blooms being
admitted to examination for a commits

CLAIM
To DEMOCRATIC
ACHIEVEMENTS
Minority Leader Mann Says
This Congress Passed Very
Few Original Bills.

WASHINGTON. Aug. Represen-
tative James r. Mann, minority leader
Of the house, today held a post mortem
over the session Of congress just closed.
He concluded that there were several
things.wrong with the activities of the
legislative bodies and declared that his
diagnosis made last December that this
session of congress would last longer
and do less than any other regular SEES
sion Of recent years. had been proved
correct
The 400 laws which congress passed
this session, he asserts, are in the main
Of little Importance, the Panama canal
bin, which was the principal measure
passed, being bin chiefly prepared in
a prior congress.
Nj Mann characterized the reforma-
ton Of the rules as a farce and further
charges that the house had been ineffi-
cient in allowing more than 200 senate
bills to remain without action. Among
these bills he cites the immigration bill,
the bill providing compensation for per-
sonal injuries to employees Of interstate
carriers and others
All Administration Measures.
1T is a constant boast" he saws chat
the Democrats at this session passed a
law providing for publicity Of campaign
contributions, but in reality they only
amended the law already passed bv a
Republican house.
Their eight-hour law, too. is in the
nature of an amendment to a previous
law"
representative Mann takes from thu
Democratic house the credit Of passing
the steamship laws. the bill to abolish a
children's bureau and the white phos.
phorus match laws, all of which. he de-
clares, emanated from the department
OF commerce and labor and were adj
ministration measures.
Practically all the laws of any i'm
poltance passed at this session." he
continued, Were either bills prepared
n previous congress, or else prepared
by o'hcials Of President Taft's admins
tration"
Economical Boast Fails.
The boast of the Democrats that
they would be economical has fallen by
the Wayside. Outside Of money ex-
pended for the Panama canal. which
can not be considered an ordinary ex-
pense, the appropriations for this SEES
sion of congress exceed those of the
last Republican session and in many
places the Democrats have appropriated
money where 1t was pure extravaganza,
and they, on the other hand, have re-
fused appropriations where they were
absolutely essential
. "AIl in all, Mr.. Clark has made'a very
good speaker of the house, but the
Democratic management Of the house
has been inefficient, inactive. unpro-
gressiye and disorganized The main
working in the house on the Demo
cratic side has been constant boast
ing of what they were going to do in
the next election"

BY v. S. SENATOR JOS. M. DIXON,
Chairman of Progressive National
Committee.

NEW YORK, Aug. 27.--In his classic
American Commonwealth" Mr.. Bryce
speaks Of our subservience as a people
10 party authority as greater than ex-
lists in any other democratic country
and as altogether inexplicable 1t has
been pointed out by other learned and
friendly students of our institutions
that this slavish obedience to party is
the root Of many Of our most persistent
national ills.
From it has grown the boss" sys-
TEN and the whole extra constitutional
method of nominating candidates for
elective office. AS a result, we have
drifted far away from the constitution
in this regard and have substituted
methods and practices not contem-
plated by the constitution and directly
contrary to it's provisions.
The idea Of party loyalty has become
dogma preached with fervor and
stupidity that amount to bigotry. The
party may steal a presidential nomina-
ton from the people and bestow it upon
a candidate repudiated by the rank and
file of the party, but It is still the
Grand Old Party" Its leaders may be
SHOWN in corrupt alliance with crooked
business, working in defense of abuses
and against the redress of crying evils;
but look at its long record of honorable
achievement in the past and the great
names which adorn it's history and get
into line.
Regularity "Consolation"
Obedience to party may involve sup
porting men and practices which you
detest, but you will have the consola-
ton that you are regular"
This idea is as degrading as all SUI
perstitions, and until its hold upon the
members of the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties is broken we can hardly
consider ourselves a self governing peo-
pie and worthy of free institutions.
The Progressive party submits its
program to the conscience and the pa
triotism of the independent voters. 1t
bids them step clear from the ancient
and rusty shackles of party, which, in
fact, are broken. and only intimidate
without being strong enough to bind or
hold
1t should no longer be true. as was
once said Of the American people, that
they fear the dead lions of secession
and slavery more than the live dogs of
political corruption.
Spells System Bred Regularity"
Party regularity as creed came into
our politics with that baleful doctrine
that to the victors belong the spoils of
office. Previously voters had divided

COUNTY WILL DO ITS
SHARE OF THE PAVING
Commissioners Vote Unanimously
To Accept the Proposition of
City in Paving Square

The commissioners of Ellis coun-
ty do not propose to take back seat
in the matter of civic pride where
the county is involved. They have
the interest of the county at heart
and they are just as progressive as
the commissioners of any other
county in the state.
By a unanimous vote Saturdayfaf-
ternoon they accepted the PROPOSE
ton of the City of Waxahachie re-
lative to paving the public square
which places the county in line to
do its share of this work No speci-
fled amount could be appropriated
at this time as the sum expended
depends altogether upon the con-
tract price for putting down the
paving. The general understanding
between the city and county. how
ever; is that the county will bear
one-third of the expenses, or pave
one-third of the SQUARE, beginning
at the curb around the court house
lawn
The property tax payers of Waxa-
hachie will on June 18th vote Oh
the proposition of issuing bonds in
the sum of $4,000 for paving the
square and the streets within the
fire limits. The action o fthe
commissioners COURT in pledging
the county's share of the work
makes it practically certain that the
bond issue will be adopted and by
large majority.
