TAFT’S RELIGION.
Reply to an Irresponsible Garrett
.County Scribbler Who Has Made
.a So-Called Open Confession.
A Writer Evidently Ashamed to Dis-
close His Name Tries to Pose as
a Great Religious and Polit-
ical Adviser.
In its issue of Sept. 10th there ap-
peared in the Oakland Journal pearly
two columns of inane and laborious
““tommyrot” concerning the religion of
Wm. H. Tatt, the Republican candi-
date for President of the United States.
The article referred to is signed “A
Republican,” but whether it was really
written by a Republican or a narrow-
minded bigot or political trickster of
some other political faith, is an open
question. At any rate the writer, who-
.ever-he may be, was evidently ashamed
to sign hir real name, hence the use of
a nom de plume.
Following we: shall reproduce some
of the statements ot the irresponsible
Garrett county seribbler to whom we
refer, with appropriate and truthful
comment.
The Scribbler: “The writer of this
article has always been a staunch Re-
publican and is indeed proud of the
great achievements of his party, the
party of Lineoln, Grant, Garfield and
McKinley.”
Comment: As you are proud of hav-
ing'been a member of the party of
Lincoln, Grant, Garfield and McKinley,
you doubtless are also proud of the il-
lustrious men you mention, as all true
Americans ought to be. Yet, as you
cannot tolerate Taft, because he is a
member of the Unitarian church, how
can you consistently praise the name
of Lincoln, who was not strong enough
in the faith of any Christian church to
become a member of it? The fact is,
most of our Presidents, as well as a
majority of our greatest thinkers and
statesmen, have been men on the out-
side of the churches, and one of our
Presidents, at least, (Thomas Jefferson)
was an infidel, if not an out and out
atheist.
The Seribbler: “A student of pres-
ent day politics, if he wants to be fair,
must admit that the ideas of Mr. Bryan
and President Roosevelt run in the
same channel. Plainly speaking, it
good man. Mr. Bryan may, no doubt,
have been wrong in some of his theories,
bu: ecrtainly he is sincere; he is cone
seientions ; he is a man of the noblest
character; a great orator and states-
man, and if never elected his name will
stand in history with those of Webster,
Clay and other men of their character.
He is a christian gentleman and an
advocate of christian patriotism ; a man
whose integrity, honesty and good in-
tentions can never for a moment be
questioned ; a man who will stand for
Giod, home and country.”
Comment: President Roosevelt de- |
nies that the ideas of Mr. Bryan run to |
any considerable extent in the same |
channel with his own. But on the |
other hand, the President has recently |
written a strong letter to support the
well-founded belief that Mr. Taft, if
elected, will come nearer carrying out
the Roosevelt policies than any other |
‘the world has ever known,
| ried on in the name of religion.
who
that
Mr,
was
man in the country. Any man
knows anythiog about the things
influenced and brought about
Taft’s nomination, knows that he
nominated solely because he had the
influential backing of Roosevelt, who
recognized Mr. Taft as being pre-emi-
nently the man to complete the policies
begun by the Roosevelt administration
To believe that President Roosevelt
does not know his man, is to charge
the President with ignorance and stu-
pidity. It’s a pity, indeed, that our
worthy President did not consult the
little, narrow-minded Garrett county
bigot who wishes to pose both as a po-
litical sage and a religious teacher.
“But certainly Mr. Bryan is sincere,”
the irresponsible scribbler tells us, and
he is a great orator, statesman, Chris-
tian gentleman, etc., etc. Yes, you bet
he is sincere, especially in the matter
of landing himself into the Presidential
chairon any old issue that he thinks
will get him there. At first he wanted
to get there on the “cross of gold and
crown of thorns” speech, even though
the sentence quoted was borrowed
rhetoric. After failing twice on the
demagogic and purposely deceptive
Free Silver dodge, he is now willing to
drop his former brand of “sincerity”
and try to get there on the demagogic
plea that the people cannot rule unless
they elect him. We deny, however,
that his name will ever stand in his-
tory with the names of Webster, Clay
and other men of their character. We
predict that when Mr. Bryan once
quits running for President, that he
will be speedily forgotten, no matter
whether he is ever elected or not.
And, after all, what does the Garrett
county scribbler know about the per-
sonal character or Christian standing
of Mr. Bryan? Nothing whatever. The
editor of this paper has lived near Mr.
Bryan’s home long enough to gain a
good deal of reliable information con-
cerning the man’s personal traits. We
have nothing mean to say about him,
for Mr. Bryan is a whole-souled, genial
man. However, he has never been
known -to exhibit even an average
amount of religious zeal, and like many
other men, seems to be content to drift
along and run chances of getting to
heaven on his wife’s religion.
As to his great statesmanship, where
has he ever demonstrated that he is a
great statesman? That he is one of
the shrewdest and craftiest politicians
is a fact
which connot be successfully disputed.
His closest neighbors and home people
evidently have never sized him up as a
great stafesman or unselfish patriot, or
he surely would have been able, four
years ago, to carry his own ward, city
and state. It isstrange indeed that a
much benighted citizen away back in
the woods of Garrett county, Md., has
all of a sudden been able to discover in
Mr. Bryan that which the majority of
his own home people have not yet been
able to discover.
The Seribbler: “We shall not un-
justly criticise Mr. Taft. We believe
him fo be astatesman of judgemeni
and ability. We consider him a moral
man, but when this is said we an say
no more.” r
Comment: In the last portion of
the last sentence quoted, we agree that
the seribbler amply demonstrated that
he could say no more. In fact in his
entire article he has written much and
said nothing. More properly speaking.
he has said little or nothing worthy of
consideration. However, he admis
that Taft is a moral man, which is the
truth, and it is needless to add that
one good, moral man is worth more to
humanity in general than ten thousand
of these little, narrow-minded, intoler-
ant bigots who profess much that does
not harmonize with their daily - lives.
A good, moral man of ability is all we
need in the Presidential chair at any
time, or in any other public office. No
man is placed in public office to use
said office for the dissemination of his
religious ideas, or for the promulgation
of his unbelief. Our forefathers wisely
decided when they founded this gov-
ernment that religion and state should
be conducted separately, and that
every man should be accorded the
right to worship God according to the
dictates of his own conscience. He
who would bound a candidate for of-
fice on account of his religious belief,
is guilty of persecution, and all’ such
should have lived during the dark ages
when people were tortured on the rack,
burned at the stake and suffered death
in all sorts of murderous and hellish
ways devised by the churches and car-
When
and where have even infidels and
atheists committed red-handed murder
to compare with that in vogue during
the dark days of the Salem witcheraft
and during the dark ages of religious
fanaticism and bigotry? Can
point out a single murder ever com-
mitted in order to force the Unitarian
faith upon anyone?
you |
| them ever made a
The Scribbler: “We understand Mr.
Taft is a Unitarian. We do, not wish
to criticise him for being a member of
this church, but let us see what it
really is. Any man can be a Unitarian.
Indeed Robert G. Ingersoll was invited
to make a speech in one of these
churches. Mr. Taft’s own pastor is on
record as saying that they do not think
of inquiring into an application for
membership as to his religious belief.
It matters not what one may believe
they can associate themselves with
this church. * * * Ip fact, it be-
comes nothing less than a dumping
ground of the other churches The
chief creed of Unitarians is to reject
Christ.”
Comment: The scribbler says he
does not wish to criticise Taft for being
a member of the Unitarian church, and
then he goes on to criticise him with
all the venom his limited intelligence
can command. He says any man can
be a Unitarian. Any man can also be-
come a member of almost any other
church, if he wants to surrender
enough of his personal liberty and the
right to think and act for himself. We
are also told that Robt. G. Ingersoll
was once invited to speak in a Uni-
tarian church, which may or may not
be true, and it doesn’t matter much
whetber it is true or not. Ingersoll was
one of the world’s greatest orators, and
he spoke on many topics besides re-
ligion.- Furthermore, he died as he
lived, an agnostic. He uever denied
the existence of a God, but did deny
the inspiration of the Bible. And even
Ingersoll had many admirable traits of
character, regardless of what we may
think of his views on the Christian re-
ligion. He had the courage of his con-
victions, at least, yet not one whit more
of an infidel was he than some salaried
ministers of the various Christian
churches, who do a big lot of pretend-
ing for a salary of a few thousand dol-
lars a year, but whose daily life and
real beliefs are sadly at variance with
their preaching.
As to the dumping ground for other
churches, there are doubtless a good
many dumping grounds. But whether
the Uritarian church is one of them,
we are not prepared to say. We be-
lieve that it is not, for most of the
other ehurches seam perfectly willing
to retain their own quota of rubbish
that ought to be dumped out, the only
requirement needed to remain in the
fold being a willingness and ability to
pay the preacher, wear the necessary
Puritanical long face, and show the
necessary amovnt of bigotry and fanat-
icism when in the minds of such im-
postors it is necessary to hoodwink
somebody. The real dumping ground
for all of the churehes and the balance
of the world is supposed to be on’ the
other side of this life, where we are
taught that the sheep shall be separat-
ed from the goats. Holly Writ tells us
that many professing Christians shall
be sent away into torment with the
goats, and it is safe to conjecture that
not all of them will be Unitarians,
either.
Furthermore, is the Garrett county
seribbler aware of the fact that the
Chaplain of Congress, at Washington,
the man who does the pgaying for the
nation. is one of those awful Unitariang,
the kind of people he classes with infi-
dels? Is he aware that Benjamin
Disraeli, the great and wise statesman
who served England so long and cred-
itably as her Prime Minister, and who
died in 1881, was a Jew?
The Seribbler: “I fear it would be
nothing less than a crime to place in
the Presidential chair a man who re-
jects God’s Son, and then ask Almighty
God to bless the head of our nation.
We do not wish to draw religion into
politics, we should not object to any
man who is a member af some Chris-
tian church, but we do think that no
Christian can conscientiously support
Mr. Taft, for in supporting him you are
rejecting Christ for whom and His
cause you promised to stand when you
united with His church.”
Comment: What rot! If a man
who rejects God’s Son, whether that
man be President of the United States
or its humblest citizen, should not be
prayed for, who should? Again we
ask, from a Christian standpoint, who
is more urgently in need of Christian
prayers than he who knows not Christ?
Ts it right or just to treat a’ man like
an outcast who

crite always seek to boycott those who

The bigot,
to accomplish that very thing. The
scribbler also tells us that in support-
ing Taft we are rejecting Christ, all of
which is so far-fetched and ridiculously
untrue as to make it akin to blasphemy.
The fact of the matter is that the
seribbler is as ignorant of the Unitarian
faith as a hog is of parlor etiquette,
and for his special enlightenment we
will here quote from the New Interna-
tional Encyclopedia, a work of stand-
ard authority, just what the principles
of the Unitarian faith are:
“Unitarians believe in one God, the
Father, not a Trinity of persons in the
Godhead. They believe that Jesus is a
son of God, not.that he is God, the son;
they recognize him as the great .teach-
er of spiritual truth and the example
of the noble life, but they do not ac-
cept him as God, the equal of the
Heavenly Father. They do not be-
lieve in worshiping Christ, but in fol-
lowing him, and they discover no need
of a mediator between God ‘and man.
Unitarians believe in the Holy Spirit,
not as the third pérson in the Godhead,
but as the name for God’s spiritual in-
fluence in the hearts of men. They
consider all men God’s children, not
merely His creatures, and therefore
they declare the dignity, not the de-
pravity, of human nature. The doc-
trines of the fall of man and of sacri-
ficial atonement have, therefore, for
Unitarians no reality or significance.
Unitapians believe that the Bible con-
tains the Word of God, not that every
word it contains is God’s word; they
use the Bible as an oracle of the spir-
itual life to touch the conscience and
to draw the soul to God. They hold
that salvation is won, not through
miraculous substitution, but tbrough
the energies of a good life; they hold
that fruitfulness is the test of religious
vitality. To them heaven and hell are
not places of bliss and misery, but
states or conditiens of the soul; each
man making for himself his own heaven
or hell and carrying it with him wher-
ever he goes. Unitarians find an ad-
equate basis for religious organization
in a common purpose to do good and
to be good.” me
Now then, isn’t a religion of that
kind about all right? It sounds pretty
good to us, and we don’t care who
knows it, even though, like Abraham
Lincoln and many other good men, we
belong to no church. The Unitarian
church is as much a Christian church
as any other denomination, and it is so
classed by recognized authorities oun
church matters, the would-be relig-
jous and political sage and statesman
of Garratt county’s underbrush, of
course, excepted.
What we like about the Unitarian
church is the fact that that denomina-
tion does not try to frighten people into
repentance by continually dangling a
terrible devil before them and a great,
big, burning hell. Neither do its fol-
lowers get hysterical about once or
twice a year and do stunts at revivals
about as senseless as the Indians do at
their Ghost Dances. Phariseeism, hys-
terical nonsense and child’s play is un-
known among the Unitarians. They
teach that the man who is a Christian
simply because he is afraid of going to
hell if he is not a Christian, is not as
good a man as he who does right: for
right’s sake. Honesty is the best
policy, is a saying old and true; bat he
who is honest for no other reason than
for policy’s sake, is dishonest. In other
words, he is just like the man who
professes Curistianity for no other
reason than the fear of hell fire; he’s a
fraud.
The Scribbler: “I have always been
a Republican and especially a Roose-
velt Republican, but in the light of
this campaign I consider it my duty to
rise higher than party and throw off
the fake yoke of Taft, which is not in
true keeping with the Roosevelt poli-
cies,because Taft is not a man of the
Roosevelt type.”
Comment: You cannot be a Roose-
velt Republican without “supporting
Taft, for Roosevelt’s own private and
public utterances have effectually set-
tled that point. You say that Taft is
not a man of the Roosevelt type, while
Roosevelt declares emphatically that
he is, and “Teddy” ought to know.
You talk of throwing off a fake yoke.
My poor, benighted man, you have no
fake yoke on your graceful neck to
throw off ; but you have a real yoke to
get rid of—the galling yoke of ignor-
ance. And, lastly, if you want to throw
off a real fakeand make a real and
beneficial confession, a confession that
is good for the soul, then either throw
off your disguise, let your light shine,
write and fight for “Windy Bill” Bryan
in the open, or alse humbly confess

the Unitarian religion, since we have
thority. Do not hide behind an

A PAYING INVESTMENT.
Mr. John White, of 38 Highland Ave.
Houlton, Maine, says: “Have been
troubled with a cough every winter and
spring. Last winter I tried many ad-
vertised remedies, but the cough con-
tinued until I bought a 50c. bottle of
Dr. King’s New Discovery ; before that
was half gone, the cough was all gone.
This winter the same happy result has
followed ; a few doses once more ban-
ished the annual cough. I am now
convinced that Dr. King’s New Dis-
cevery is the best of all cough and lung

WueN President Roosevelt and W.
the Republican party for being too
badly smeared with Standard oil, it
pleased some of our local Democrats
very much. They took great pleasure
their gas in the postoffice lobby about
it. But when “Teddy” asserted that
“Windy Bill” Bryan’s right bauer, Gov.
Haskell, of Oklahoma, was as badly
smeared with Standard oil as Foraker,
they held up their handsin holy horror,
and like Bryan, they cried for the
proof. Well, they got the proof in to-
day’s daily papers,and they got it good
and strong. “Teddy” gave them Okla-
homa’s court records as the proof, and
that has taken the wind all out of their
sails. Facts are developing every day
to prove that Bryan is a demagogic
windbag and fakir, only that and noth-
ing more.
CoNgRESsMAN Cooper and his op-
ponents for office, M. R. Travis and
“Windy Willie” Likins, were all visit-
ors at the Meyersdale Fair, yesterday.
Mr. Cooper was greeted by hundreds
of his staunch friends and supporters
Travis was enthusiastically received by
the few Democrats residing in and
about Meyersdale. We had the pleas-
ure of a pleasant talk with both of the
gentlemen aforesaid, and several citi-
zens volunteered to give us an intro-
duction to “Windy Willie,” whom they
conceded to be the champion freak of
three counties. We declined the prof-
fered honor (?)fhowever, on the ground
that we already know too many men
of the Likins stripe, and have no de-
sire to shake hands with fellows of his
ilk. He looks, acts, talks and writes
like an escaped lunatic, and we have no
time to waste in shaking bands with
such as he.
Joux L. Jounsoxn, an old Elk Lick

the old soldiers than any other Con-

From the Connellsville Daily Courier.
The contest for Congress in this dis
trict is not taken very seriously by the
voters generally. The Prohibition
candidate, it is true. is making consid-
erable noise, but that is his peculiar
political style. We are accustomed te
it here in Fayette county. It is di
verting to the people, but not seriously
disturbing to Republican majorities,
though it has at times chased the Dem-
ocratic party pretty closely for the
honor of being the minoritv party. No-
body expects Colonel Likins to go te
Congress, not even the colonel himself.
Colonel *‘Pete” Livengood certainly
does not expect it, at least not since he
has opened the rapid fire guns of Tum
SALIsBURY STAR upon William of the
Water Wagon.
Nor does anybody seriously consider
the candidacy of the Democratic nomi-
nee. Few Democrats even know his
name, and few have seen him this-cam-
paign, though it is reported that he has
been in Fayette county. The Unior
town Standard says:
We read in the Greene county ps
pers that M. R. Travis, Democratic
candidate for Congress in the distriet,
“has just returned from Fayette coun-
tv, greatly encouraged by the outlook.”
It takes a mighty little to encourage
some people.
The next Congressman from this dis-
trict will be Allen Foster Cooper, the
Republican nominee.

THE GRAND ARMY.
It is estimated that of the more thar
2,500,000 men who enlisted in the ranks
for the Civil war, about 500,000 survive.
Most of them are old men. The aver-
age age is almost seventy. Some of
the survivors are yet in good health and
in active life, but most of these were
boys when they donned the uniform.
The death list amounts to about forty
thousand every year. Those who mar-
vel that so many are yet living should
remember that army life weeds out the
incapables. More men died of disease
than from bullets. The law of the suz-
vival of the fittest works admirably: in
this case, and those who are alive now
have more than the ordinary expecta-
tion of life because they are the select-
ed few.
The rising generation has a tendency
at times to make light of the services
of the veterans. Knowing nothing of
war unless of the moeck-heroics of the
late contest with Spain, they are apt to
look upon the old veterans as men who
didn’t do so much after all, and who are
treated with more consideration tham
they deserve. Those who remembet
the dark days of the conflict have ne
such sentiments. They remember the
appeals for every man possible to go te
the front and bare his breast to the
bullets. Of course, a majority sur-
vived, many did not even get inte
danger; but when a man put on the
uniform and swore allegiance, he knew
full well that he might be called upoe
to face certain death at any moment
That was the step that counted most
The Nation has not beed ungrateful.
It has paid out more in pensions thaw
the whole war cost. It is paying oui
more now to the few survivors than it
did when they were most numerous.
It pays more than the Kaiser , does for
his great army. But aside from this
care, the fact should be impressed upen
all of the rising generation that thess
men did not go to fight for pay. They
were no mercenaries. They fought
that the Nation might live. and ‘ths
present generation enjoy the abundant
blessings of peace and prosperity. All
honor to the survivors of that victor
ious army !—Inquirer.
