ODELL,S CAMPAIGN ASSESSMENT.
That of Per Cent. OF Salaries or State
Employees Reduced to 3 Per Cent.

SARATOGA, Sept lin his capacity as
chairman OF the Republican State commit
tee Gov Odell has caused a reduction from
5 to per cent to be made in the campaign
assessment levied by that committee upon
the employees in the State departments
in Albany, in the State institutions and on
the canals. This reduction was brought
about largely because OF the widespread
opposition on the part Of the employees,
who number about ten thousand, to paying
such large assessment as per cent.
Many harsh criticisms have issued from
the Republican officeholders in the capitol
because Gov. Odell caused such large
assessment to be levied upon their salaries
Even the figure to which the assessment
has been reduced is larger than State
EMPLOYEES ever before have paid, the as
sessments heretofore running from 1 to
~ per cent.
In obedience to letter received from Mr..
Odell as Governor. and written in his cam
paign head quartsRs in the Fifth Avenue
Hotel, a number Of State departments
have posted the provisions Of the civil
service law. which makes it misdemeanor
to solicit or pay political assessments. The
posting OF this notice has caused people to
wonder if Gov Odell thinks that the people
are fools They realize that Mr.. Odell as
Governor only calls attention to these pro-
visions of law and that he follows up this
letter by sending an employee of the Re-
publican State committee to Albany to re-
ceiye the moneys collected by the heads OF
the different State departments. OF course
a State employee need not pay this assess
ment. Theoretically, but in practice II he
JOB is in danger. Many employees already
have paid this assessment, and some paid
the full 5 per cent, assessment before II
had been reduced at the direction Of Gov
ernor- Chairman Oden.
Robert j. Hill Of Orange county, Cover
Chairman Odell's personal appointee
as State Superintendent Of Public Build
ings, lost no time in collecting from the
employees in his department, who
were forced to pay the assessment when
week Wednesday. The money was col
lected by an agent OF Supt. Hill In
the rooms OF the Capital City Club on
State street in Albany. Many OF the en-
ployees protested against paying such big
saying H tbs nsI Leave ds
Sept. is, and one employee who refused
point blank to pay was discharged on the
spot.
eOClatlOn, OF WnlCn CaTl SCnuTZ Ii pTes1-
dent, through its secretary, Elliot H. Good
win, has called the attention Of the State
departments to the provisions Of the civil
service law prohibiting political assess
ments and has requested the cooperation
OF the heads Of departments in calling
the attention Of the employees to the act
In question. But the Civil Service Reform
Association may just as we'll not send out
these letters unless they back them up by
prosecuting those who collect the money.
It would not be a hard matter for them TO
get the necessary evidence II they are really
IN earnest to stop this practice.

PRESIDENT HEARSPEACE SERMON
Rev. DIR. Washburn Deplores the Neces-
sity OF War.


OYSTER BAY, Sept 1l--President Roose-
welt listened this morning to a sermon on
Peace" by the Rev. Dr. a. H. Washburn,
rector Of Christ Episcopal Church here.
In the, course of the sermon DR.. Wash
burn deplored the conditions which neces-
state the maintenance by the nations
Of the world Of large standing armies and
Of ships -freighted with instruments OF

There were some persons In the congrega-
ton who recalled the sermon preached by
DR.. Washburn two years ago, when he
startled the country by saying that McKin-
ley'sJ assassination may have been by
Divine desire. 80 that worthy man might
follow These persons were inclined to
regard the rector's remarks this time as OF
political, II not personal. significance,
In Wow Of the Republican attitude toward
q standing army and an enlarged navy.
Any intention OF having preached the
emphatically disclaimed by the rector
when he was asked about 1t. The sermon
was not meant, he said, to apply to any
party doctrine or issue, nor should it assume
any significance, he asserted. because the
candidate of the Republican party was in
the congregation to which he preached. DR..
Washburn took this as the theme OF his
sermon:
aThe peace Of the world lies in the
wider adoption of the principles underly-
ing the precepts Of righteousness,
He said in part:
You remember when a peace congress
was held in Chicago composed Of representa-
lives from home and abroad, and when arbi-
tration was advocated FOR the settlement or
all disputes between nations, hoping thereby
to abolish internecne strife and horrors OF
war. ,,, mn.

Theodore Roosevelt Jr., the President

until next summer. He will leave Oyster
Bay for Groton, Mass, to resume his studies

Teddy's class is composed Of boys and
10 years old, and they were all sorry to take
leave Of him. 1t has been his practice In
conducting the class not to follow any
regular Sunday school lesson as contained
in booklets but to select his own subject

characters for holding up before the boys
have been David and Joseph, and most OF

research OF Mr.. Hines and his special
fitness for the place to which he has been
appointed were shown in a recent pub
lished interview, when he remarked that
the board of which he is a subordinate
was composed OF @alienists,' so-called,
because they had to do with aliens.
The State prisons have always been
under political control, and, therefore.
was entirely satisfactory. The power
which the Governor exercises over the
penal institutions was shown by the appoint
ment made by the Superintendent OF State
Prisons, at the direct command OF Gov.
Odell. OF Jacob Smell, the ponderops canal

strosity known as the Eastern New York

tendent of Prisons, respectively. and the
action OF the board OF managers Of the
Reformatory at Elmira (Which the Governor
intended to have abolishedD in its recent

a valuable object lesson to the people of
the State, strongly supporting the con-
tention OF those who urged the continuance
of such independent nom bipartisan manage

occurred inside the fort. Eventually
almost the entire Russian garrison was
either killed or wounded.
The foregoing information has peeh
obtained from Chinese of trustWofth'-
ness.
Military experts here are OF the oplh-
ion that If the Japanese capture eltner
Rihlung or Kikwnn forts or the LUZ
and Anshu forts the doom OF Fort
Arthur is sealed, and for this reason
the Importance of the results obtained
by the Japanese in their latest assaults
on the Russian positions is obvious.
AS the Chinese from whom the cor
respondent of the Associated Press OBJ
tanned his information left Port Arthur
the night of September II he is unable
to say whether the battle was renewed
on the twenty-second or not, although
hunks which have come in here bring
reports of light bombardment on that
day.

there was heavy fighting at Port

their antagonism has been consider
ably embittered by the events or the
mast two years. In 1903 Ames claimed
they were robbed of the state cham
pionship by Griffiths sensational
touchdown made in the last minute of
play; that in straight football they
equalled if they did not outplay the
university. Last year they claimed the
state championship on the basis of
comparative showing made against
Drake and Minnesota. On the game
this year rests not on,y this years
championship but the controversies Of
the past two years. Ames has the adj
vantage not only of a good coach. but
of one of the best trainers in the west
Ames has reported a hundred men in
training. Iowa has barely fifty. Ames
trains for the Iowa game as the Gull
minating effort of the season. The
state university is at that time getting
in shape for the conference games that
are yet to come. Considered from any
standpoint the agricultural college has
the better of the proposition.
/ cannot but notice and comment
upon the strength displayed by East
and West Des Moines high schools and
the presumable strength OF Capital
Park, Grinnell, Marshalltown and
Cresco as shown by the press dispatch
es. Football among the secondary
schools of Iowa is yearly reaching
higher standard of excellence, as IS
shown by the appearance of the paid
coach. This year Clyde Williams will
have charge OF the work In Marshall
town and his friends turnout the state
will watch the progress of his success
with interest.
The results of the western conference
games developed little surprise. Illi-
| nois showed an expected weakness.
due, undoubtedly, to the adoption Of
the graduate coaching system this sea-
son. Chicago seemed to have her usual
strength at this period. Minnesota's
big score against the lighter South
Dakota team, told us little that her
early practice games did not. 1t is not
at all unlikely that for a second year
the Gophers will contest the western
championship with Michigan.
