under obligations to the founders or
the school. It will do more for a set

White House Creeds.
In the past generation, or' since the
time of Grant, the Methodists and the
Presbyterians have been far more rep
resented than all other denominations
put together in the White House and
among presidential candidates. Grant,
Hayes and McKlnley were credited to
the Methodists, and Tilden, Blaine,
Cleveland, Harrison and Bryan to the
Presbyterians. Greeley was a Univer
salist, although various kinds of ec
centric, ethical and religious ideas
were attributed to him. Garfield was
of the Campbellltes and once had been
a preacher among them. Arthur had
Episcopalian affiliations, and Roose
velt is of the Dutch Reformed stock.
