Tatt's Religion, As the outcome of attempts to injure Taft's candidacy by charg ing that he was an atheist the Am erican people learned last week what had not been generally known in the past, that Secretary Taft is a ( nitarian. lie comes of a Uni tarian family, his father and mother, like himself, belonging to the Unitarian Church. In"Wash ington he attends (lie I nitarian Church at Fourteenth and L sti'i els. lint the Secretary is very far from being adenoininationalist, lie sometimes goes to St. John's Episcopal Church in Washington, which his wife attends, and is much interested in the Union Chapel of the Presbyterian and Episcopal Churches at Murray Ray, where iie spends his summers. No who one heard Mr. Taft's speech on work of missions in the East but knows that the Secretary of War is in true sympathy with mission ary work, regardless of denomina tion. Three Presidents of the I nited States have been Unitar ians, tlie two Adamses and Millard Fillmore, although John Adams might be regarded as a Congrega tionalist since the Unitarians and Trinitarians had not divided in his time. Seven Presidents, Wash ington, Madison, Monroe, William Henry Harrison, Tyler, Taylor and Arthur, were Episcopalians. Jackson, Rtichanan, and Benjamin Harrison were Presbyterians. Lin coln attended a Presbyterian church, as did Cleveland, whose father was a Presbyterian minister. Johnson, also, attended the Pres byterian church occasionally. Mc kinley and Hayes were Meth odists. Polk, on his death-bed, was baptized by a Methodist minis ter, and Grant regularly attended a Methodist church, although he was not a church member. Roose velt, true to his ancestry, is Dutch Reformed, as was Van Buren. The Congregationalists beside John Adams, are represented by Franklin Pierce, Garfield belonged to the Disciples' Church, of which he had once been a preacher. Jef ferson has been accused of being an atheist. Randall, however, says that he was a believer in Christianity. Jefferson was broad ly tolerant. If Mr. Taft is elected, the seven Presidents from Garfield on will have.been connected with six different denominations, a com mentary on the religious situation iii America. If Bryan is elected the number of denominations will bo only five, as Brvan is a Presby terian. —Christian Work and Evan gelist. Letters from tlie People.

Emporium, Pa., July Bth, 1908. EDITOR PRESS:— Dear Sir: —Of all that lias been writ ten or said on the paving question, tlio letter ofC.VV.Shafer in this week's issue of the PRESS, contains more good common serreo than all the talk and writing I have heard or seen; and it should be carefully read and studied by every citizen of our town and es pecially the Town Council, and more especially by a very few wise men whose names I could give but will not I trust and hope that anything I may say in this short letter will not give offense to any one, for I certainly do not so intend it, but that every citizen should have the right to give expres. sion to their views on all questions af fecting the public cannot be gainsaid and friends should be careful and not misjudge. So in giving vent to my views in re gard to the law, which as I understand, it requires the citizens living along a certain piece of paving, providing two thirds of them favor it; to pave or re build said street or highway in such distanco as said two-thirds may dictate i and the said one-third of the people, must provide one-third of the money | required for said work, and material whether they are able to do so, or not. 1 believe it to be a disgrace to any town, county or state to permit such a law to stand on its statute books, and no man in our town or county, who will not under his own signature say he will use every effort possible for its repeal need look for my vote. I don't believe in placing the poor man ab solutely in the hands of the rich. Now, to illustrate, let us take any section of street in our Borough along which there are living thirty-one people (property holders) and let us suppose twenty one of these people are abund antly able to pave, or do any other work, that their fancy would dictate, the other ten are poor, or comparative ly so, simply under good times able by strict economy to find food and cloth ing and care for themselves and little ones. But the twenty-one are rich and they say "let us have the street paved with pure gold and their families cloth ed in flue linen," but, says the ten poor, "we are not able to pay our share of this work"; away with you then you have no business here—let some one have your property, even at a sacrifice, who can and will pave. I can't be lieve it to be so, but was told that two of our Borough officials made smiliar remarks about those who are living along Fourth street, where they aro agitating the paving question, and just in this connection, 1 desire to call at tention to the fact that it has been re ported to me that a number of the people living along the highway, where the paving question is being agitated, have bei n offered help quite sufficient to pay their share of the paving, if they would withdraw their opposition. Gentlemen, I don't say you have done this, but I do say that you can't afford to ., L. L. IX, President. Fall Term opens Sept. 17. 1908. A Twentieth Century Institution.

A bill for the construction of high j ways between the county seats will be presented to the next Legislature ; and it is expected that it will carry out the road plan of Governor Stuart without encountering any constitu tional objections such as might arise should a bill be presented for the re building of the old State road alone. A bill designating a single road would be claesed as special legisla tion. The Governor's plan, however, could be carried out by the passage of a bill authorizing construction of roads between county seats and mak ing a substantial appropriation there for. The old State road of which he spoke in his Philadelphia address ran from Philadelphia to Pittsburg. None of the state roads touched Harrisburg or Carlisle until later, when a change in line was made run ning from Lancaster to Harrisburg by way of Middletown, following a road which was built before the Revolu tion and used by people who wanted to bring merchandise from Philadel phia and Lancaster to reach Carlisle and other towns. They crossed the Susquehanna at Harris Ferry, the en terprise which led to the founding of the State Capital in 1785 by John Harris, the younger son of John Har ris, the settler ou the banks of the Susquehanna. The republican state platform is committed to the reconstruction of roads, a plank calling for the build ing of sections between the county seats having been adopted with a hur rah. This project would not only cause the reconstruction of almost the entire, length of the old State road but would give a vast stimulus to road building all over the common wealth, besides enlisting the inter est and aid of many counties which have been demanding just such im provements. It is believed that a bill for roads between county seats would go through the Legislature easily, es pecially if the Governor was known to be favorable of it.
