DON'T TAKE KINDLY TO
YANKEE" NOTIONS.

DR.. Broughton probably already re-
allies that his road in England is not
to be one of roses, that there will be
plenty of jagged stones in the path
way to tear his tender feet, and that
many of the bright dreams with which
he left Atlanta, with the hope of in
fusing some of the ATLANTA spirit" in
to the staid old metropolis of thu
world are doubtless doomed to disap
pointment
The Britons do not take kindly to
DR. Broughton's ideas. In fact the
are inclined to refer sarcastically to
them as Yankee notions" Even n
Georgian is a Yankee in London, i
appears. And while the former At
lanta pastor will be supported by an
almost ineXhaustible store of enthus-
iasm it is apparent that when h
goes up against the English wall OF
conservative adherence to the trad;-
tons of the past he will soon feel like
calling a wireless operator and send
ing out to the world renowned mes
sages for help.
Here is what cable dispatch to
the Northern papers tells about DR..
Broughton's reception, or rather the
reception of the Broughton ideas:
London, England.-Rev Len G.
Broughton, of Atlanta, Ga, who IS
assuming the pastorate of Christ
Church, Westminster Bridge road, the
scene of the labors of Rev. F. B..
Never. the "anti-boxing parson." ar
rived here yesterday and announced
he would introduce striking American
innovations, including a church hos
pital and dispensaries and day nurser-
les for children.
Rev. Mr.. Meyer believes the Amer
lean ideas of his successor are fore
doomed to failure. A delegation from
the church met the new pastor at
Liverpool and showed little enthus
iasm at the proposal to introduce Am
erican ideas. One member of the del
egation is quoted as saying: We
want real religion, not Yankee no.

Tatt'S Manager Begins Max
ing Ugly Charges

Washington, April 1S.-Mansga.
Mckinley, of the national Taft bureau
today issued statement calling q.
Jen.ion to the alleged use of money in
the Roosevelt campaign.
The lavish expenditure of money
in this campaign by the hackers Of
former President Theodore Rooso-
welt, says the statement has led
to lie question being raised: We're
the victories of Roosevelt in Penn.
sylvs MIA and Oklahoma due to great
popular demand for his denomination
or to the use of money!"
Further along, Mr.. Mckinley saws
''In no pre-convention campaign in
the history of the country has money
been used in such large sums
amounting, in view of the general
verdict of the country with respect ia
certain expenditures by senators of
the United States, to plain bribery
and corruption as has been expended
by the hackers of Theodore Roose-
Welt"
Mr.. Mckinley declares the Roose-
welt forces spent large sums in Okla
homa, that they distributed 100000
in Allegheny county, Pa, including
scrip" in S. denomination to mes
sengers;" that the total Roosevelt
expenditures in Pennsylvania were
between $25O,OOO and 100000; that
in New York county alone 100000
was spent in an endeavor to influence
the primaries and that efforts were
made to buy out"

We dislike to believe that there is
any truth in this report In fact we
would have to see it substantiated by
the President himself to believe that
he would be guilty of such political
imprudence and so defiantly place
himself in opposition to the we'll de-
fined sentiment of probably eighty
millions of the people of this country
that state and church do not mix in
the United States. To do as this item
intimates would necessarily carry with
it the suggestion that the government
the Church to such an extent as to
request advice from the Papal author
tiles as to precedence of its church
representatives The thing is prob
ably a canard 1t is doubtless true
though, that President Taft has ar
rayed against himself a large public
sentiment by seemingly too ardent
desire to please the heirachy OF
the Catholic Church. The President
is very broad, liberal, whole souled
man, with nothing of the bigot in his
composition, but it is hardly credi-
bic that he has been lead into such an
act of political imprudence as the
Telegraph's item would indicate. H

mere social precedence without APP
