The January Election.

From the Binghomton Press.
The term OF the Hon. Chauncey NJ. Depew
as United States Senator from this state
comes to an end next January.
II a Republican Legislature is chosen In
November, Mr.. Depew will reasonably expect
to be returned for another six years.
1t is understood that Benjamin B. Odell is a
candidate for Mr.. Depew's seat.
Doubtless all Republicans having the good
OF the party and the State In mind will take
much interest in this question OF Senator.
They will see to it that their representatives
In Albany shall be concerned In having the
better man win
Most of them know which is the better man.
A little questioning here and there might
do no harm.
In fact, 1t would be wise thing to do.

The New HumOrist.

The Hon. j. THOMAS HELM, Repre-
sentative in Congress Of the Fifth Ala
bama district has the misfortune to be a
wag in a dull minded and literal COM
munity. Various newspapers in and
outside of Alabama have insisted upon
misunderstanding these pretty little
jests, to which Mr.. HELM treated his
hearers in a speech which he made at
Tuskegee last week:
There they sat, ROOSEVELT and BOOKER. and
II some CzoLoosz or one OF his kind had thrown a
bomb under the table no great harm would have
been done the country.
If BOOKER WASHINGTON takes a hand In this
thing 1t will be one time Will ask him TO step ont.
will nsk him to hands of: and you know we have
a way OF Influencing down here"
THIS fantastic suggestion and ethereal
humor Of Mr.. HEFLINs drew on him
much reproof from denser Alabama
Democrats He was accused Of indis-
erection. But he stands by his remarks.
He has no apologies to make. His little
pleasantries about ROOSEVELT and
BOOKER and CzoIGosz must be Under
stood as Just bit of his fun. He is as
playful as kitten.
Besides, as is clear from his intimation
in letter to the Montgomery Journal, he
really didn't expect that his delicate
witticisms would be reported by a brutal
press. The Montgomery Advertiser doesn't
like him. Mr. HEFLIN seems to hint that
it wanted to hurt him by publishing his
Tuskegee waggery. But other papers
published it, too. Clearly, Mr.. HEFLIN
must be joking again.
The Mobile Register reads a solemn
and Philistine lecture to this Alabama
PUCK:
His ievity before the voters Of his district Is OF
a dangerous kind at the present time, when such
expressions as he used may be wrongfully inter
preted."
In other words, Mr.. HELM mustn't
be as funny as he can until after election.
Mr.. HEFLIN's humor when he is conf
dent that no rascally PAUL PRY OF re-
porter is present must be extra dry and
altogether delicious.

Live and Learn.

We copy from the editorial columns
of the Ner York Times this intelligent,
il brief, reference to the Odell-Higgins-
Hartman scandal which is now occupy
ing the attention OF considerable part
OF the population Of New York State:
When confronted by emergencies Of an odell
nature. Mr.. HIodISs shows himself capable Of con
siderable agility Ia facing north by south, In his
speech OF acceptance he was no mans man: as a
member OF the Canal Board he was nagrantly
opELLs man and voted $4,000 out Of the State
treasury as a gratulty TO the Furnacevile Iron
Company. In which Governor oDELL's Wall Street
friend Is the principal figure"
1t is less than three weeks since the
Times recorded these doubts as to the
Justice OF the Democratic State plat
forms extraordinary reference to the
personal reputation Of Governor-Chair-
man ODELL:
For TIE nrst time In its history the Empire State
has Governor whose personal integrity rests under
widespread suspicion, says the platform. That Is
a grave imputatton. II would have been better. We
think, to omit that sentence from the platform. 1t
does no, sound we'll and so far as the Times Is con.
cerned It has never heard Of any act Of Governor
ops1L which would bring his personal integrity
undsr suspicion" -
In the matter Of ethical distinctions,
1t is probably safe to assume that the
Times is better able now than it was
then to say whether it has ever heard
OF any official transaction warranting
suspicion of the personal integrity OF
Governor Chairman ODELL.

judge Miller on Furnaceville.

No wonder it has been thought neoes-
sary to put forward defence OF the
Furnaceville Iron Company job which
shall seem more plausible than the false
explanation offered by Governor ODELL
and promptly demolished yesterday by
the Attorney General. The new ex-
PLANTATION comes from Justice MILLER,
who as State Comptroller under ODELL
had place and a vote with Mr.. HIGGINS
on the Canal Board at the time Of the
transaction.
We print so much Of Justice MILIER's
long and labored statement as Is neces-
sary to expose its fundamental defect
as an answer to the charge. II the pur-
pose were to confuse the mind Of the
reader and to cover the main fact with
the technicalitjes Of canal bookkeeping
and bubbles as to forms OF procedure,
the statement is measurably successful.
For who without special knowledge Of
the case would not say, Here is square
denial from an authoritative source
on reading q detached passage like the
following?
The fact Is no such item vns contained IN me
Claim OF the Furnaeeyfue Iron Company; no such
ITEM was rejected by the preceding board: and no
such item was allowed by the succeeding board"
Does Justice MILLER wish to create
the impression that because the money
paid to the Hartman concern for soft
dirt excavation at dry rock rates had
already passed into the pockets OF the
favored contractors, and because the
amount therefore did not appear as a
distinct specific Aitem" OF new claim at
the time of the vote Of July 30, 1909, it
was not in the power and duty of the
board TO compel restitution, on the
strength of the positive evidence Of
fraud In classification Of rock and dirt
which Mr.. CuNNEEN then brought to the
attention Of lbs asseciates'
Does he wish to bubble over the diff
ference between refusal of the former
Canal Board Of 1902 to award the claim,
and rejection of the claim by that
same board?
A careful reading Of his statement
vii show that this is what the defence
amounts to. For he says, further on:
Inc question Was not whether the board should
slow this az an item OF the claim presented, but
whether II should arbitrarily deduct from the
moneys which the State had been uniswfuly with
holding from the contractor for ave years. the
sum paid him under q coutract lawfully made by
the proper ofhcers OF the State more than nve
years before"
Just rs the preceding board had re-
fused. according to Mr.. MILLER's own
statement, to pass the claim; and just as
II had Informed the attorneys for the
claimant that unless this matter of re-
classification could be- satisfactorily ex-
planned, the Board woutd deduct from
he amount found due, such sum AZ had
been heretofore paid the claimant az
result OF such Redistribution -.

WOMAN FORCED TO BREAK FAST.
Taken TO Asylum After Starving for Five
Weeks to Cure Asthma

Miss Victoria Kopwicz, the young Polish
woman who had been fasting for five weeks
in Newark, in hope that divine power would
cure her asthma, was taken to the Essex
County Hospital for the Insane yesterday
after an examination by two physicians
on Sunday She decided to eat on Sunday
rather than go to the asylum, but ate spar
ingly, and passed the day with her prayer
books, attending st. Stanislaus Church twice
on Sunday and again early yesterday
morning.
It was concluded by Police Surgeon
Clark that she could not live out her PEN
ance Of two months fasting, and that she
was irresponsible through religious mania
She was persuaded to take some chicken
broth yesterday morning, because her

that she would have to 60 to the retrea!

The Individuality Of Higgins.

From the Rochester Union and Advertiser.
Higgins is Odell's man. No matter how
many Republican papers may say that he
knows no master, wears no mans tag and Is
standing now on his own feet. the facts re-
main that he has been Odell's man ever since
Odell became Governor and that Odell die
tated his nomination In the face OF the oppo-
siton of the great majority OF individual
delegates. The delegates admitted it-some
OF the best known State leaders admitted 1t
at Saratoga. Higgins is Odells man. and as
such he shall fall.

The Episcopal Church and Divorce.


1t seems to be obvious that whatever
canonical change with respect to mar
riage and divorce may be made by the
General Convention Of the Protestant
Episcopal Church, it will not involve the
religious revolution OF making matri-
mony a sacrament Of religion. The most
that seems possible is the prohibition
Of the marriage Of a person divorced by
clergyman of that Church during the
life of the divorced mate.
AS Bishop DoANE put it in sermon at
Boston on Sunday, the granting Of such
a privilege is not consistent with the
form for the solemnization OF matrimony
in the Prayer Book, in which the pledge
of each of the welded pair is to keep to-
gether still death do us part, and the
minister enjoins that those whom COP
hath Joined together let no man put
asunder.'
Substantially the same form for the
solemnization of marriage is followed
in Protestant Churches generally, yet
divorce for adultery, and in most Of
them for desertion also, is allowed; and
therefore the pledge to a lifelong union
is made with the reservation that II ii
Is so broken by either of the parties. it
does not stand. That also is a reserva-
ton in the civil contract Of marriage as
allowed in every State of the Union ex-
cept South Carolina.
Can a Church make law on the SUBJ
ject which will override the statute law?
Can it prevent man or woman from
taking advantage Of the civil law?
The existing canon Of the Episcopal
Church which recognizes divorce for
only one cause and allows remarriage
only to the innocent party has not pre-
vented many Episcopalians from marry
ing after securing divorces for other
causes The fashionable society, in
which such divorces have been 30 fire.
quent of recent years, generally affects
the services Of that Church, and great
part Of that society is actually in its
communion. II divorced Episcopalians
can't get Episcopalian clergymen to
bless their new matrimonial unions they
are content to receive the blessing from
ministers of another denomination, or
even to have the contract made before a
purely civil magistrate. They refuse 10
allow the Church to restrain their In
clnations to marriage.
Will the Episcopal Church by forbid
ding it's clergy to soiemnize The remar-
riage of any divorced person during the
life of the divorced mate put social ban
on divorce which will be an effectual
deterrent from it? The conduct OF
Episcopalians in getting divorced and
remarked in defiance Of The present
canon does not suggest such a result.
Will the society which has not frowned
on those rebels, but has taken them
back to its embrace, be less tolerant OF
violations Of stricter canon?
This question suggests what seems
to be the fact, that social sentiment
rather than ecclesiastical law regulates
this matter, with the run OF Professionals,
at least. Even now there are devout
Episcopalians who would be restrained
from divorce simply by the pledge to
lifelong fidelity in the marriage service.
