THE JEFFERSONIAN

Unquestionably, the pronounced
attitude Of the Roman Catholic
Church leaders and press in the
United States has been largely to
blame for Mr.. Tafts uncomfortable
dilemma. But if there had been no
coquetting with Rome, would these
publications have openly boosted OF
the church's growing political inf1u-
ence; of it's powerful friends in the
nigh places of the nation: Of the
royal precedence" due to it's card1-
nails at official functions, and of the
church's ultimate supremacy in this
country? If a way had not been
opened, would these journals have
declared SO confidently that Roman
Catholics must WELD their votes to
secure the church's ascendency IN
the nation, and that legislation.
education, public opinion and the
press must be governed to that
end? 1t was foolish Wanting, cal
culated to excite storm if they
were not sure enough of their
ground to make the venture.
Long before single Protestant
body took action, this dangerous
boasting was going on unchecked.
AS for the Protestant press, it has
been s1ngularly free from any dis
cussion of the subject, although it
is one that strikes at the root of all
that Americans hold dear, and
which justifies the fullest and freest
criticism. Somebody has been play
ing with fire, or there would have
been no confiagration. The Chris
tian Herald regards the whole issue
as one which, unless some one
statesman Or politician-had been
more than indiscreet, need never
nave been raised in a land where
Church and State must forever be
distinct and separate, and where all
are guaranteed absolute freedom OF
religion.-Christian Herald

THE SOCIALISTS VIEW OF FREE-
DOM.
DOM.

Justus Miles Forman begins a new
serial story in the October Woman's
Home Companion entitled Through
The Open Door" 1t is a Votes For
Women story and will probably Gre
ate considerable discussion among
those interested in this subject. In
the first chapter a young Socialist,
talking to an eighteen year old girl
on the subject of freedom, says
Il mean just what | say. PEOPLE
ought to want freedom. They ought
to want it SO hard that they'd be in
physical agony for the lack of it.
They ought to stand up to-
gether in gigantic yearning army
and take it! Instead of which they
run about in little circles and yam
mer about wages and agreements,
and interest and votes, and the fair
division of property. Property
that everlasting fetish of property!
The rich man has it in square miles,
and yet he hasn't enough; the poor
man bowls that he isn't given his
fair share. If they dream at night.
they dream of money or Of some
kind of beastIy happiness that money
can buy for them. They never even
think of the word freedom to gobble
more wealth, more property Free
dom's just a doorway to them-a

means, not the summit and end of
all things.
VERY few people have ever even
dreamed of what freedom is. You
see, things have got into a most ter
rible mess. This idea of property
has blinded and crazed everyone.
And, such as it is, there's no doubt
it's badly distributed, and that it's
going from bad to worse The rich
have got too much of it, together
with the power it gives, ana the poor
too little. That was we'll enough
up to a certain breaking point-un-
der the old feudal system. Social
classes were hard and fast things.
There weren't any newspapers, nor
schools, nor votes, nor walking dele
gates. The poor expected to be poor,
and that was an end of it. And now
that there is education of kind,
now that labor has begun to think
well, there's another breaking point
ahead, I fancy. Another social war.
Another French Revolution.
After that freedom, perhaps. A
chance for it anyhow After that
great 1eveling, when property is no
longer gathered into big terrifying
heaps here and there, but is spread
about under foot, perhaps it will
lose its fascination for the men who
are living then. Then there'll grow
up race that's truly free. Free to
develop, each one of them, as his
own nature indicates and permits.
That'n be race of giants"

TAFT'S VIEW OF
THE CASE

President Taft has issued a state
ment to the press, in which he
makes the charge that his political
enemies have conspired to misrep-
resent his attitude toward the
Roman Catholic Church and to &C
cuse him of undue favoritism. He
is panied that his acts should have
received the Interpretation that has
been put upon them by various de-
nominational bodies, notably the
Methodist General Conference at
Minneapolis, the Protestant Episco-
pal Diocese at Washington, the
Washington Ministerial Conference,
the Lutheran Synods, the Home
Missions Council of New York and
similar organizations, which have
criticised his course in suspending
the order of Commissioner Valen-
tine Of the Indian Bureau for the
discontinHance of Roman Catholic
garb, emblems and regalia in the
Indian schools.
Mr.. Taft's explanation of his &C
ton in this particular case is that
he desired to give the Roman Cath
Ollie teachers "a full hearing" and
to let the question be ruled upon by
the Secretary Of the Interior The
coHstitutionality of Commissioner
Valentines act was never ques-
toned. In resembling the commits
sioner's order in the face of protests
from the various Protestant de-
nominations, the President took
what seemed to logical minds to be
the most direct method of inviting
the public criticism of which he
now so strongly complains, yet he
now declares: 81 have unduly
favored no church, but have treated
all with absolute impartiality.
There are other matters touched
upon in the Presidents statement,
which appears in full in another
column. He declares that in the
Philippines, in the War Department,
and as Chief Executive, he has az
ways tried Ito encourage every
church as far as possible when this
did not involve invidious distinc-
tions, and did not depart from the
rule which separates our State from
official relations to all churches"
He recalls his conference with Pope
Leo XIII. in 1902, which resulted in
the settlement of the Friar Lands
dispute, and he also refers to his
recent letter to introduce Major
Butt to the present Pope, which, he
explains, was simple letter of in
PRODUCTION and no more. A Mar
conigram from Rome, dated March
81, which was printed in the New
York Sun of March 20, stated that
Major Butt presented the Presi-
dents letter to the Pope, in which
Mr.. Taft thanked ''the Pontiff for
the creation of three new American
cardinals. The President wrote that
this action was acceptable to Ameri-
cans, irrespective of their faith, as
Catholicism contributes to the well
fare of the country" Mr. Taft's
explanation, however, specifically
denies this, and he is entitled to be
heard, with his own version of

same in doctrine today as she was in
the days of ST. Peter, it will be well
to give a statement showing that she
is not the same church that she was
1900 years ago, a thousand years
ago, five hundred years ago, or even
fifty years ago. In many of her dog
mas she is much more modern than
the most Of the Protestant sects.
She has changed her creed every
century from the time of the first
pope and began these changes five
hundred years before Boniface called
himself pope. Thus popery, instead

CARNECIE'S BIRTHDAY
AT 77, STEEL KING APPROVES COUNTRY AND ITS
 AFFAIRS.

New York, Nov. 26.-"The universe is we'll" according to a sweeping diag- nosis of affairs which Andrew Carne- gie made in a general philosophical mood on his seventy seventh birthday yesterday. He said that any one who believed the country was going "to the bow-wows" was sadly mistaken. "We pick our own kings" he said in com ment upon the elections, land we all ways pick good ones."
 Do you know the reason I'm so happy?" he asked. "It is because I have higher opinion of the American race than ever and this higher opinion is caused by knowing many men and women.
 Woman" he continued, after a pause, woman has attained an almost angelic height" Mir. Carnegie spent the day quietly at his Fifth avenue home receiving many congratulations from friends who called or sent tele- grams.

NOT A RIPPLE IN
 BUSINESS OCEAN
DESPITE DIRE PREDICTION
STATE CHAIRMAN OF REPUBLI- CAN PARTY REPORTS BUSI-
 NESS CONDITIONS BETTER

The Arkansas Gazette makes the following brief summary of the busi- ness situation in Arkansas since the Democratic landslide, as seen by one of the leading Republicans of the state. Instead of the usual calamity howl from the Republican camp, they are taking an optimistic view of the situation:
 That the election of Woodrow Will son has not caused even a furry in the business world despite Republican campaign predictions of dire disaster. is evidenced by the report of the Unit ed States Mortgage and Trust Compa ny. H. L. Remmel, who is the compa- ny's Little Rock representative, re- celved a report yesterday which cov- CTS crops, the real estate, mortgage and banking situation, the effect of the recent election on business and the general business outlook. From every part of the country come optimistic reports on all of these subjects. As to the election, the reports without ex- ception say that it has had no effect.
 MT. Remmel, who is chairman of the Republican state central commit tee and the active leader of the for lorn remnant of the party in Arkan- sas, had no alternative but to send in an optimistic report from Little Rock, this despite the prospect of his losing his position as United States marshal for Arkansas with the accompanying very comfortable salary.
 Concerning the local situation he re- ported as follows:
 "Crops-Crop conditions never bet ter. Cotton little off in price.
 Real Estate, Mortgage and Bank ing Situation-Real estate in good de- mand. Bank deposits large. Collec- tions better.
 Effect of Election on Business Has had no effect.
 General Business Outlook-Never better"
 If MT. Remmel feels any sorrow concerning the failure of the Republ- can predictions, he is managing to conceal it admirably. To all appear ances he is too busy sharing in the general prosperity of Arkansas to think about it.

Benton, Nov. 26.-The Iron Noun tain depot burned between Il and 12 o'clock last night, the blaze originat- ing in the roof. The Van Noy hotel, d two-story structure, was saved only by stringing a line of hose about 1000 feet from the plant of the Owosso Manufacturing Company. The depot then was too far gone to be saved. The depot, which was one-story frame building, had been remodeled and placed in excellent condition about six months ago. Practically all the contents of the building were sav- ed.
