Roman Catholic Secretary
Of President
IS GIVEN PRAISE IN LETTER
To Protesting Editor-Relig'
ious Prejudice Charge
Is Secuted.
WILSON DEFENDS SECRETARY

Washington. Feb. 20.-In a let
ter 10 w. W. Prescott. editor Of the
Protestant Magazine. published here,
President Wilson has denied en-
phatically that his correspondence
is handled with religious prejudice
by his secretary. Joseph z. Tumulty.
The correspondence made public to-
day by the magazine follows:
THE President, Washington. D..
c., Jan. Is, 1914.
:"Sir: learn from personal in
terviews and correspondence that
there is widespread feeling among
Protestants thai it is practically i'm
possible for any communication re-
lating to the activities of the Roman
Catholic Church to reach you per-
sonally, for the reason that all such
letters are withheld from you by
IL is unfortunate, both for you and
for the country that such an impress
sion prevails, and that it seems to
nave some foundation.
Before dealing with this subject
IN this magazine. ! am writing TO
ask for 4 statement from you which
might be of service in restoring con-
idence among some of the best cit
liens of this Republic. ANY reply.
however brief, showing that this
letter actually reached you. would
re a source of satisfaction.
when you were Governor of New
Jersey. | wrote you concerning some
criticisms OF your course in which
you were charged with showing ia
YOritism to the Roman Catholic
Church, and your reply placed the
matter in such light that ! did
not deem il necessary to make any
reference to the subject. My desire
IS to deal fairly with public men.
and hence this letter.
Thanking you for any attention
which you may give to my request,
am, Yours very truly,
wv. w. PRESCOTT"
The Presidents reply under date
If January is, 1914, follows:
My Dear Sir: Allow me to ac-
knowledge the receipt of your letter
Of January IL and to thank you for
your candor in writing me.
IL beg leave to assure you that
the impression that any part of my
correspondence is withheld from me
IN any circumstances by my secre-
rary on account of religious predi- |
lections on his part, is absurdly and |
utterly false. venture to say that |
no President ever had more frank |
and satisfactory relations with his |
secretary than | have with mine |
The whole OF my correspondence is |
constantly open to me. Mr. Tumul- |
~ is more prompt. perhaps. to call
my attention to matters in which his |
prejudice is supposed to be engaged |
: han to other matters of relative in
differences.
"Of course, | need hardly add |
am not speaking from an impress |
sion. but from knowledge of just !
how my correspondence is handled |
Sincerely yours.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting direct
ly upon the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in do
ing its work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its curative powers that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for

A Letter from Delegate Clagett
Annapolis, Jan. 20, 1914
Dear Mr.. Editor:

Annapolis, Jan. ~, 1914
Dear Mr.. Editor:
I have introduced three bills.
One to allow the Declarations
of Intention to be made by pros
pective voters before any Justice
of the Peace in Prince Georges
County, instead of before the
Clerk of the Circuit Court.
Another bill to amend the Acts
of 1912, Chapter 374 80 as to al
low traction engines and thresh-
ing machines to use the State
roads in going to or returning
from the threshing of any crops.
The third bill provides for the
election of one County Com
missioner in 1915, one County
Commissioner in 1917 and one
County Commissioner in 1919, so
as to gradually reduce the Board
of County C Commissioners to three
in number. This bill does not at
all affect the present Commiss-
| toner's. The salary to remain
the same as at present $500 q
year.
It would, of course. take some
years to get the Board down t.
three, but this was the only
method found that seemed K
be perfectly feasible. Instead
of electing two Commissioner
| in 1917 elect one, and one in 1919
Please note these matters and
want to hear from the people
both for and against these meas
ures.
i Yours very truly,
T. VAN CLAGETT.
