Are you, who (ride yourself on yoor patriotism, a law abiding cit lent If no, why do yoo cont une tkiog the po'son which i fa-t ki ling the man h od within you?

One night at a champagne snpper wheu many wt-tebecomingJn-tosuateri, somebody, in jest, called for a toast from thin young man. Cilo ni'l Higginsrn mid that he arose, pale, but with perfect self possession and said: "Genileuieu, I will give yon a toast which yoa may drink as yoa will and which I will drink, if yon please In water. The toast that I have to give is 'Oar mothers.' " Instantly a strange spell seemed to ooniM over all those tipsy men. They drank the toast In silence. There was no more laughetr, no taore song, and one by one they slunk oat of the room. The lamp of memory had be gun to burn and the name of 'mother" touched every man's heart. -Selected. PRESS OOR, Communicated Editor Courier As there seems to be an effort on foot to inject the ditcascion of religions questions Into the present presidential campaign, ish to tell your readers jut what I think about It. In the first plaoe, it is very unwise and un-American to prejudice the claims of any candidate for office on account of his religious belief. The fathers of this republio very wisely provided against religious legislation. They knew, as every studeut offhis- torv knows today, that there had al- wys been less liberty in a theocracy than in any other form of govern ment. They could foresee the dangers to which the people w ould be expoted if too much aothorltv should be given to the so called clergy. It ii raid that Mr. Taft should uot , be e'ected because he believes in Qui j tariaiii-m. Now I b-1 eve that Mr. Taft phoold not be elected, bat uot on account of his religion, bat because Mr. Bryan represent a better plat form of political principles. I shall do all that I can to secure the election of W. J. Bryan, but while I am doing this, shall keep up my record for political and religions fairness aud take no undue avdantage of my op ponents. As Indivluals, Taft and Bryan are both olean men. Politic ally, Mr. Taft represents that dais of men who are seeking to absorb the wealth of this country through clans higslatlon, while Mr. Bryan repre sent that class of men who believe in equal rights to all and special privi leves t) none. I honestly think that Mr. Bryants far iu advance of Mr. Taft as a stateaman. If Mr. Taft; is a Unitarian, it only proves that his religion is In advance of his politics. It proves that he knows something about tbe Bible. Jesos Chrii-t, himself, was a Unttar- 'an. He believed in the ultimate trlupmh of all good and the final de struction of all evil. This Is Uni tarian sm in a notuhell. Tbe unitar ian believes that we rhould be free to inveetidBte any and all qntstionsand that no Iron-bound cretd should be imposed ss a test of church fellowhip. Tbe snpert til ions of the pa-stare laesing away, and the time is coming when all men will do right for tbe sake of right. STEPHEN JEWELL. A Snap.
