[From our Regular Correspondent.] Washington, June 15th, 1U(»7. With the President out of town and the number of political visitors conse quently and increasing! y diminishing, there is a dearth of political talk for the time being at least. Theannouuce meut received this week that Secretary Taft had been taken suddenly and seri ously ill at St. Paul on his western trip, created uneasiness at the War Depart m< Tit. There is intense interest taken there very naturally in the Secretary as a presidential possibility and the news of bis collapse in St. Paul was a great shock, especially as during the whole of his term both in Washington ■and the Philippines ho has shown the moat rugged constitution and was the last man in the Department who was expected to give way physically. The latest news is that accounts of his 111- neas have been exagerated. The Brownsville inquiry has been dragging along at the Capital and it cannot be said that there is much more light on the mysterious events of last August than there was when the in quiry first opened. There has been a o'oud of witnesses on both sides and they have flatly contradicted each other, even the army officers being divided as to the guilt or innocence of the men, though there was more un animity of opinion among the civilian witnesses that the soldiers of the 25th were guilty of shootiug up the town. One of the most entertaining wit nesses of the whole hearing was on this week. He was Gen. Andrew S. Burt, retired, who had been for ten years colonel of the 25 th. Ho came princi pally to testify to the general good character of the soldiers as he had known them and to say that Mingo •Sanders in particular was in his opin ion entirely innocent both in know ledge and deed. Only those who are familiar with the negro in his confiden tial relations with his white officers in whom he really trusts can know just what sort of weight must be given to Mingo's private assurance to his old Colonel that he knew absolutely noth ing about the whole affair. Gen. Burt is Andrew S. on the army register, but he is known all over the country and especially in the west as "Andy" and the bulk of his acquaint ances probably would hardly know him by his longer and more dignified name. He has always been a great ad vocate of athletics among the soldiers and organized the first regular army base bait team. He used to play oil it too when occasion arose and one ofthe stories concerning him was when he was the Colonel of the 25th and helped to fi'l a gap on the enlisted men's team. He batted with the best of them and when he was coming home as fast as his short legs could carry him for the ' •vinning run of the game, an old negro sargoant coaching from the side lines jumped up and down and yelled in clarion tones, "Run, Andy, run, Come ou you Blankety blank, blank bow legged son of a gun. Run!" "Andy" did run and won out Ou a phenomenal slide for home. He got up and brushed the dirt off his ball clothes and they said quietly to the ser geant. "I can scarcely blame you Ser geant for your remarks in the excite ment of the game. But kindly remem ber not to let them occur elsewhere." That was all the notice he ever took of the incident and made no reference •to it officially. And the enlisted men thought all the more of him for it. He nover had the least trouble with the unruly 25th and it is only natural he should speak a good word for them. There is no case of indigestion, no matter how irritable or obstinate that will not be speedily relieved by the use of Kodol. The main factor in curing the stomach of any disorder is rest, and the only way to get rest is to actually digest the food for the stomach itself. Kodol will do it.

Dotlson. 300 Anniversary of the Episcopal Church Continued from Ist page scale to react very powerfully upon the rest of Europe. And even in Kngland there was serious danger of the experiment of free govern ment ending in failure under the despotic tendencfes of the Tudors and Stuarts. The close of the 15th century marked a critical time in the political destinies of Europe and of the world. If the principle of self government was not soon to perish utterly from the earth, if the pro blem of how to realize a nationality at once strong and free, of how to maintain individual and local freedom and yet secure concerted action on a scale great enough to influence and convince the world, there were needed, and needed imperatively, these conditions: (1) A vast and virgin territory, far enough removed from Europe to he well separate from it, yet near enough to be in communication with it and to be for a time dependent upon it. (2) For planting colonies in this vast and virgin territory, men who had a strong instinct for freedom, with a training in the funda mental principles of self-government. The discovery of the Xew World furnished the first requirement. Englishmen, with their political instincts and training, furnished the second. From the very first the stars in their courses worked for the reali zation in the New World of a great, independent, self-governing nation, whose mission it should be to work out on a scale large enough to re act upon the whole world, the supreme political and religious problem of humanity. For this result it was neccessary (1) that there should be a strong development of the spirit of freedom; and (2) a develop ment of the sentiments and conditions which make for nationality. The political problem and the religious problem really are but two aspects of one essential problem. The vital and moving forces in our history have been the forces of religion: a religious sense of the saered ness of the individual and of the nation as a divine institution. When we consider the two types of English Christianity which were transplanted in America, and study the part which each has play ed in the development of our national life and institutions, we may in a brood way say that that the emphasis and influence of the non-liturg ical type, of the Puritan and Presbyterian, told distinctively for free dom; while the*characteristic influence of the Churchman made for the development of nationality. The Churchman did not come to the New World to iind religious and civil freedom, but to better his worldly con dition, though this is not saying that he was any more worldly than his Puritan brother, lie would bring with him, and retain, his idea of the church as an objective institution. Not having any grievance against the mother country on the score of religion, he would retain a stronger sentimental attachment towards her,and so his influence would tend to prolong that initial period of dependence which for a time was so neces sary for the protection and development of the colonies. In the early period of our colonial history the strongest and most permanent bond among colonies was their common dependence upon the mother country. The influence of the Episcopal Church during the colonial period made directly for solidarity rather than for independence. When the crisis which culminated in the Revolutionary War arose, it was the temper of the Puritan, rather than of the Churchman, that precipitated the revolt against England. But when the crisis came the great body of Episco palians were ready to meet it. Patrick Henry, Francis Lee, Thomas .Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin. Robert Morris and George Washington were all Churchmen, though two of them were not very sound ones. Three-fourths of the clergy, owing to the fact that they were natives of England and had taken an oath of allegiance to the British crown, espoused the royal cause, but among the laity there was no greater proportion of Tories than was to ba found among Congregationalists or Presbyterians or Quakers. After the Revolutionary War a new crisis confronted the Indepen dent States, a crisis as great as that which resulted in the Declaration of Independence. The period between 17s:{ and 1789 has been termed the "critical period" in American history. The winning of independence was a great achievement; a still greater task was (he construction of the Federal Government. It was in connection with this great work that the influence of the Church and of Churchmen made itself distinctively felt. The Churchman yields to none in emphasizing the sacred worth of the individual,but he believes as well in emphasizing the importance of the larger social organisms, the Chureli and the State. This habit of thought led him to look about at once to see if the scattered frag ments and wrecks of his communion could not be brought into organic relation to one another, and the ideal of one Catholic and Apostolic Church realized as far as possible. The Churchman is not great as an agitator or revolutionist; his instinct and talent is for constructive work. While the question of national federation was still unsettled, the Churchman had the question of federation settled so far as the scatter ed fragments of his own communion were concerned. Four years be fore the adoption of the Federal Constitution, the Episcopal Church was organized on a federal basis. Within the ecclesiastical sphere, this lias been the most successful attempt ever made to secure concert ed action on a great scale, while preserving the freedom of the individ ual and the autonomy of the parish and diocese. In constructive work, the organizers of the Episcopal Church provided the fathers of the Fed eral Constitution with an object lesson. Certain it is that the organi zation of no other religious body in America corresponds so closely to that of the Federal Government as does that of the Episcopal Church. When we remember that many of the same minds that were engaged in the organization of the Episcopal Church were engaged also in the or ganization of the nationl government, we must see that this correspon dence is no mere coincidence. In the far-reaching providence of God it has been laid upon us as a people to work out the solution of the very highest political and spirit ual problem of humanity. Our task is to demonstrate to the world that human freedom and brotherhood are not impracticable ideas. To sight as well as to faith our success is being made manifest. America is becoming more and more the pillar of the peoples' hope, the center of the world's desire. But without the forces of religion to vitalize it, and the ideals of religion to give it meaning, our holy experiment would long ere this have ended in failure. Among the organized forms of English Christianity, it is our privilege as Churchmen to see that our own communion has played no mean or inconspicuous part in the achievement of the nation's task.
