wondered iih to Mr. Taft'H pluirch nsso
oi'itlnn. When I made the Inipilry here
I was answered through the columns
of tho Northwestern ChrlHtlnn Advo
cate, tho great Methodist publication,
Just tin It had given answer to hundreds
of Inquiries from Its Mehodlst subscrlti
ers. It na Id:

faiths gather for worship."
This Methodist testimony Indicated
to me the broad and liberal view of
Mr. Tuft In religious mutters. In look
ing through the tile of thlR mime pub
lication the Western Christian Advo
cate I found a discussion of both nom
wees, in i ue course or wliloli It was
asserted:
The sympathies of both Mr. Taft
and Mr. Ilryan are very broad, and they
worship easily and naturally with any
Christian denomination. Whichever
nmn Ih elected, the country will have,
therefore, a President of clean life,
lofty principles and Christian convlc

Just whnt Importance lie attached to
Christian character In tho building of
a successful career. Tho question had
been put to him to develop his personal
views, and writing in response the Ho

"Your question suggestH two otlierH
which must be answered in answering
this: First, whnt Is u Christian char
acter, and, second, what Ih a successful
career? Find, I consider n Christian
character that of one who holds as his
ideal a compliance with the two com
mandments given by Jesus Christ, and
who earnestly strives to live up to that
Ideal. Second, I should dellne u suc
cessful career to be that career which
brings more real happiness to those
who happen to he within the operation
of tho Influence of the person whose

"Coming now to answer your In
quiry, I should say that n Christian
character In tho building of n success
ful career Ih Its most important part.
The longer one Uvea the more con
vinced lie must become that every other
Incident and element of a career loses

DISCARDED ISSUES FREE SIL
VER.
If Bryan Was Mistaken on Silver
Are Hia Conclusions Any Safer
NowP
Of nil the mpdlclncfl Mr. Ilrynn lias
offered the country, the free and unlim
ited coinage of silver was the most
widely and effectively advertised. Tho
people were told that there could ho no
return of prosperity without It. In
spite of Its doctrine of repudiation, It
was offered as the only means of relief
against perpetual hard times. In the
content of 1SIXJ Mr. Hryan staked his
political fortunes on thin Issue, and
lost; In 1000 ho Insisted on a reafllrma-
Hon of the issue, nnd lost again. This
year free silver haH been omitted from
tho Democratic platform, because In
the meantime the country has had its
period of greatest prosperity. Time
nnd events have refuted all Mr. Hryan's
arguments in favor of free coinage, and
free sllrerism Ih dead and burled, and
long grass waves over Its resting place.
Mr. Hryan ban said that n man
Worthy to lead a great cause should he
willing to die for It. In 11)00 Mr. Rryu'
said that If anyone said he had changed
his mind about free silver ho wiih a
falsifier. Yet Mr. Hryan made tin
platform of this year, and that plat'
form has omitted mention of freo sib
ver; and Mr. Hryan says that a candl
date Is hound by what the platform
omits as well an by what It contains.
Therefore. Mr. Ilrynn has either ills
carded free sliver as n belief, or ho has
omitted It this year as n matter of po
lltlcnl expediency, still believing in the
doctrine. If ho still believes In free
silver, It Is obvious that he no longer
thinks it necessary to die for It. If he
does not believe In It, then he has been
convinced that ho made stupendous
mistaken in 185)0 and 11)00, when he
forced the Issue on his party.
A leader may bo stronger than his
party; he may offer a better Htnndard
of government than the party platform
on which ho Is running; but no leader
an disentangle himself from the wreck
age of Issues which lie has temporarily
glorified an vote-getting expedients.

OUR RURAL FREE
MAIL DELIVERY
How the Democratic Party Sought
to Throttle It in It Infancy.
Originated by Republicans, the Dem
ocrats Saw In It a Bugaboo of
Extravaganco and Tried
to Kill It.
The organization of Hurnl Free De
livery in the t'nlted States was beset
witli many difficulties. In Its Infancy
It wns pounced upon by the Democratic
party, a party that has an unbroken
history of never missing nn opportu
nity to try to throttle the life of every
Infant Industry that may be so unfor
tunate as to meet It upon the great
highway of progress. Postmaster Gen
oral Wnnnninkor, under n Itepubllcon
administration In 18015. first recom
mended the establishment of a rural
free delivery service. During the thne
or four years of Democratic adminis
tration following, small appropriations
were made, but not expended, nnd the
system 'was never given a fair trial
until President McKlnley came Into
office.
OlMionnl by Drmocrntla Ofllrlnl.
The PostoIIIce Department headed by
a Democratic Postmaster Ccncral, dur
ing Cleveland's hist term, opposed
rural delivery, and refused and neg
lected to make any experiment, or to
institute nny free delivery routes. As
un excuse for thlH failure and neglect
to obey the mundatCH of tho law, the
AsslHtnnt Postmaster General under
Cleveland, In his report transmitted to
Congrpss in December, 18!:i, expressed
strong views ngnlnst rural free delivery
and the postmnster general of thW
same Democratic administration, ap
proved these views, and in his report to
this Biune Congress, spoke of rural free
delivery In u slighting and somewhat
contemptuous mauiier. In conclusion
ho stated :
"I therefore adopt the opinion of the
first Assistant Postmaster General that
the department would not be warranted
In burdening the people with such ex
pense when It can more properly, ade
quately and economically meet the re
quirements of postal extension by wld
oiling Its scope along reasonable and
conservative lines and by establishing
additional post ofllccH whprever the
communities are justified In nsklng for
them." He thus Ignored the reasonable
and Just deinandH of -10.000.000 of our
people, the very bone and sinew of our
republic, and cast their Interests aside,
by a wave of the hand.
Ton .Many Ouatnrloi In (lie AVnj-.
Not only was the Democratic admin
istration thoroughly against rural free
delivery, but tho Democratic opposition
Included the other Democratic branches
of our nntlonal government. The
House of Representatives was also
Democratic ut that time nnd on Feb
ruary 15", 1SIM, the committee on post
offices and post roads, In reporting to
the House the annua! postofllce appro
priation hill, used the following lan
guage In reference to rural free de
livery: "It has been found Impossible by rea
son of the pressure of more Important
questions, for the officers having thjit
subject In charge, to give the subject
the study and consideration that It de
mands, much less to establish such
rural frco delivery."
No Conalriictlvn Mntrainn iiMlilp.
Thus again, the party which has
gone Into partnership with calamity,
suw "n lion In the way." at the very
Inception of constructive statesman
ship, nnd did not exhibit the energy
and Initiative to take up the work for
which experimental appropriations hud
already been made. In the report of
Cleveland's Postmaster General, Win.
L. Wilson, referring to the iipproprltv
tion which had been made and which
had not been used, we Hnd the follow
ing:
"Should Congrpss see fit to make It
available for the current year, I will
make the experiment ordered, by the
best tests 1 can devise; but the dim
cultles In the way of such experiments
and the reasons for viewing the whole
plan us Impracticable, are fully set
forth In the report of the House Com
mittee on the Postofficc Appropriation
hill of the second session of the Flftv
Third Congress."
Ilrmm-rnry Wnn Again! Itnrul De
livery.
It will thus bo seen that Cleveland's
Postmaster General, after two ypars or
study and retlectlou upon the subject
after having absolutely refused to use
the money which Congress placed at
his disposal for this purpose, gave It
as bis opinion that the whole plan was
impracticable again, and should be
abandoned. In the message of Presi
dent Cleveland sent to Congress Dec.
I, 1SJKI, referring to the matter of
rural free delivery, he himself said:
"I am decidedly of the opinion that
the provisions of the present law per
mlt as general un Introduction of this
feature of mall service us Is now NF.C
KSS.UtY OH DKSIHAHLK, and thai
It ought NOT to be extended to smaller
communities than are now designated.
Again In a single sentence, from the an
nual message of Cleveland the follow
ing year he dismisses the matter in
these words: "The estimated cost of
rural free delivery generally Is so very
largo that It OFGIIT NOT TO HI!
CQNSIDKUF.D. In tho present condi
tion of affairs."
Thus, tho only Democratic President
ror more than forty years rid himself
of the niensurc which has come to i
ono of Importance with American peo
ple, second only to Independence Itself.
Cleveland said that rural frco delivery
was nn Impracticable scheme by reason
of the vast expense that would he In
volved. Thus a Democratic Postmaster
General, u Democratic chairman of tha
Committee ou the PoBtofliee and Post
Itoads, and n Democratic President all
united In agreeing that the establish
ment of rural free delivery was an Im
practicable proposition nnd absolutely
beyond them, In Its eapaclty for futura
usefulness to the majority of the Amer
ican lKMiplc.
IlltaalnKi ol Ilurnl Dollrrrr.
The existence nnd growth of rural
free delivery are the best evidences In
recent years, that this Is a government
of the people and for the people. iSomo
near-statesman of the Democratic par
ty bus culled the service a luxury. It
Is more than a luxury. It Is now n
necessity. So eagerly Iiiih It been sought
after In all portions of this country,
and so thoroughly appreciated wher
ever It has been bestowed, that It has
come to bo regarded as a necessity by
the millions who enjoy It.
Forty years ngo every one went or
sent to the postofficc for his mall, and
the fnrnier In the busy season when his
horses nnd teams wore working In tho
field, could only receive mall for him
self and family possibly once a week
on Saturday afternoon. Now It Is not
only delivered several times each day
nt the homes and places of business
of the residents of more than a thou
sand cities, but those millions of sturdy
farmers, ranchmen and agriculturists
who form the backbone of the republic
receive their malls almost daily.
Increnaea Value of Land.
Increased facilities always bring In
creased use und enjoyment. More let
ters are written und received; mora
papers and magazines subscribed for.
Testimony from all over tho country
shows that by reason of rural freo de
livery tho uctuul value of our farm
lands has bopn Increased. Many farm
ers state that they would not dispense
with tho service ror $100 per milium.
It has been estimated that the value
or rami lands has risen by this means
as much as five dollars per acre in sev
eral States. A moderate estimate of
the Increased value of lands through
out the country on account of the adop
tion of rural free delivery would b
from $1 to Sf'.i per acre.

CAREFUL ABOUT PROMISES.
Taft Weighs His Words Whllo Bryan
Is Cnrelesa.
One of the most Important things to
be emphasized at thin stage of the
campaign has been admirably phrased
In Mr. Itoosevelt's letter to. Conrad
Kohrs. Mr. 'Taft Ih careful to promise
only what he Is confident upon reason
able grounds that he can accomplish.
Perhaps this Is the chler reason why
Mr. 'Tnft Is dubbed n poor politician
and is a poor politician from every
standpoint save that of courageous,
self-forgetting public service.
Hut It Is well ror Mr. Itooserelt to
eniphuslze this truth, slnco some meii
are likely thoughtlessly to Interpret
Mr. Tart's scrupulous care In state
ment nnd his honorable enre ror tho
relation or promise and possible per
formance ns want of zeal for reform.
It Is especially necessary In this cam
paign against a man whose emotions,
however creditable they may be in
themselves, and whoso Innnte temloucy
to rhetorical einphaBls are constantly
driving him Into broad nnd easy and
over-liberal promises.
Mr. Hryan Is ubovo nil things a cam
paigner, and his public utterances
never have heeu characterized by
stafesiniinly caution. He has been a
great promlser.
Pity that Hryan's speeches. In sup
port of his fnds, rallacles and fooler
ies, which were delivered when he was
a candidate In 1800, ami again In ittoo,
couldn't have been "canned." ror repe
tition now. What tunes they would

Mr. Hryan will have to make out n
