"I cannot dwell In the cerulean blue, but have to deal with facta.” be de dared. It la this dealing with facta In a clear, dispassionate manner that ha>made William Howard Taft what hr la. that will cause him to gain strength ever, time he appears In public. Taft's beet friends cannot claim for him thai he la an orator. But he can tell the truth and does tell It. He will not bare to paint beautiful word pictures of what should be done. He will not have to plead with stiver, eloquence for the alleged downtrodden nor call on 'the masses'' to rise up and save the cdun try from the ruin which Bryafi has been predicting and finding various panaceas for during the pa»t twelve

years.

What Taft has to do Is to state cold, clear cut facta, to tell the truth about himself, to give to his auditors a clear and unmistakable Idea of wha. Taft the man la and what be ataudfor. And this be can do. and do well By nature he Is frank a ad open, li would be difficult for him to dlssembb If ha wished to do so. Already Taft has begun making sen ous Impress!,,us on his audiences. Bryan never falls to tickle hie audiences In moat Instances he arouses enthuai asm. but It Is sn enthuslssm which rarely lasts Those who listen and applaud go away and forget. With the Taft audiences U Is different. Bj the clearness of his exposition and tlx absolute sincerity of his manner lx carries conviction. His auditors art aoou impressed by two things—Taft'i ability and Taft's sincerity. “That man means what be Bays." b a comment frequently beard after Taft baa spoken.

The words ot Lawton, fighting a treacherous foe In a tropica! country, were meant as a protest against the unpatriotic '-anti-lmpcrlallst*' agitators here In the I'hltrd States, where ex pressluus of sympathy for the Inaur reel I on gave constant aid *nd comfort to the enemy. Army officers of high character and rugged experience the 1‘hlllpplnea have frequently pnaumd the opinion that the Insun tloa would not have lasted ninety daye had It not been for the support m, and otherwise, which Us leaden celved from tbclr sympathiser* Chief among those sympathisers, the Insistent and most reckless of all, was William Jrnuloga Bryan, and against blm the prophetic words of the lamented Lawtou stand like an accusation from the grave. For his unpatriotic course during the Filipino Insurrection Ur. Bryan lacked even tba shadow 6t an excuse. He had entered the military service during the Spanish war as a volunteer officer, and be knew that the war and the Insurrection In the Islands could he concluded only with the unqualified recognition of American authority wherever it was asserted. But In spite of that he encouraged the Filipino to continue In armed resist and bU reckless expressions undoubtedly helped to prolong a deeper d costly struggle which ha knew heart could never end except In the way It was ended. Ur. Bryan's conduct throughout that conflict, which nuch alike to the United States Ibe deluded Filipinos them selves, amounted to moral treason, and

Tba words of Lawton will confound Mr. Bryan every time be opens his mouth to apeak ou UngPhlllpplnes lb the present campaign. He cannot e* cape them. They indict blm for giving aid and comfort to the armed enemies of American authority and they brand him aa a man who openly encouraged a desperate uprising against the flag In defense of which Lawton died.

"Uecauae be Is the highest type of the Christian gentleman." This U the way in which I beard the pastor of a Methodist church in eonthern Illinois end an argument with -a layman on the train coming over here from 8L Louis, eaye the Washington correspondent of the 8L Louis Globe-Democrat in a dispatch to his paper from Cincinnati. The dispatch continues: The layman, paying.due respect to the cloth of his opponent, wee trying to convince him that be should not support Mr. Taft for the pres! dency and Instead should vote for bis Democratic opponent The churchman defended the principles of the Republican party and, as Indicated, defended te man for whom he said he expected , vote from hla personal standpoint of churchman, "because be Is the highit type of e Chriatian gentleman.” It gave me a new idea about Mr. Taft It seemed to answer some of the criticisms I had beard of the Hi llcan candidate and hla creed. I cent years the Democratic candidate has Interlarded hlr well paid Chautauqua ic-turea frith Sunday aermone before rellglnax six! Kemlrcllglous II seems that be baa made of this Influence In this palgu. and I waa curious to discover my arrival here wborber there support from the church and a religions element* In the country for the Republican nominee My arrival In thin connection could not have been better timed. As I fared the office of Mr. Taft’s private secretary Friday I saw Bishop J. C. Hartsell of the Methodist Episcopal church emerging from a conference with Mr. Taft The bUbop. I episcopal supervision on work of bis great church in Africa. He has been so engaged for the past twelve years and has met and tormed the acquaintance of many leading only In Africa, but In Europe and America. Hla acquaintance and Influence within the Methodist cburch are second to thoee of few men. a* he was for fifteen years sn offioer of the society which founded and now mainsystem of Institutions of learning among both white end colored people In the southern states. He came Induce Mr. Taft to make a speech In Chicago before a society of which the bishop's son. Rev. M. C. Hartxell.

Aa a good Presbyterian I suppose Mr. Bryan assents to the doctrine of 'divine decrees.' which teach that from all eternity It has been fixed who should be saved and who should be ■oat I do not so read Scriptures. Mr. Taft, I understand. Is one of the Edward Everett Hal* type, believing that Christ waa a divinely perfect man whose precepts and life on earth are the key to man's salvation In eternity. Wh tba church I believe that In that perfect man dwelt the di-

Applying hla discussion In a practical way, Bishop Hartxell continued: "Which of these men I shall vote for will not be decided.by their religious beliefs, but what they are as men and by the principles and policies they stand for In the administration of the government. I believe that In acting upon this view, aa an American citizen. I am In harmony with thy spirit and purpose of the founder* of our .republic, who put Into the constitution that there should be ■no religious test aa to qualifications to any office or public trust under the United Btatea.'
