CHANCELLOR DAY
HAS HIS DOUBTS
BaGGaIaUreate Sermon Which
SarCaStiCaIly Refers to
the President.
MONARCHY WITHOUT NAME
HARPlES SENT OUT TO CREATE
PUBLIC SENTIMENT.

Syracuse. y. Y. June l0.-CndncellOE
Day in his annual baccaIaUreate ser
mon today reaffirmed his attitude
toward the large corporations. saying
they were the logical result of the
great stride the world is making. He
again issued d warning against the as
sumption Of too much power by tina
president. and i'm referring to the re-
ports of PaCkingtOWn slaughter houses
said that if One-hUndredth part of what
was printed was true people would be
dying by thousands.
The sermon in part was as follows:
when senators and representa- tives
receive orders from the executive, when
appeals to popular passion are made to
force them to action to which their
sound judgment and honest convictions
are opposed, the government by the
people and for the people becomes a
misnOmeT and a deception. In that
hour we are a monarchy without the
name.
Dazed or Daft.
1T is to be hoped that we are not 50
dazed and so daft by an Office that has
grown great with our greatness that IL
may be permitted TO set aside courts,
seTates and congresses.
Recently pressure was brought by q
MESA &c. the purpose of which the
senators instantly understood and
which evidently was intended TO appeal
to lOng-pTepaTed pTejUdices of the peO-
pie
rs this method legislation to which
this great nation has descended? Is
this new way the best To make our
laws? The people should awaken to
the danger that threatens representa-
tive government
we have fallen into a scandal
mongerinE epoch. The foul harpies OF
SANDER have created a condition and
all Of the civilized world is nauseated
at the thought Of us. 1t has cost Us
tens of millions of money and the re-
sDect Of mankind. It will and should
cost our self respect if we do not burn
out with the CaustiC Of a hot indigna-
ton this sort of Islander.
Dangerous at Best.
The scandaI-mongers who drag the
people through slaughter houses to ex-
hibit i'm lowest forms the food of their
tables by exasgerations and stories Of
things that always must be offensive at
best are mistaken agitatOTs and es-
peciaIly dangerous to us as q people at
this time.
a man writes q book or publishes a
series of magazine articles and makes
frantic effort to have a condition Of
frenzy created that viii sell his foul
smelling pages 10 Il people deliriOUs
with the fever Of sensatiOnaIism.
But there are hundreds Of thousands
who never ask a question or apply the
simplest analysis to any charge. 4
scare line I'm a yellow paper is equiva-
lent to the verdict of a jury and the
people upon this verdict pronounce
sentence Of damnation.
This is the epoch we are in. NCfh-
ing is right. Everything is wrong
Everybody IS bad except the aCCu sers.
Everybody seems to be on the yer &c Of
being drawn into the filth and slime OF
damnatiOn or the deadly firedarhp OF
suspicion Committees are sent out To
bring back shocking things and IF thew
come back without them 9th srs are
sent with more sensitive powers. Those
whose judicial temperament unfit them
for hysteTia are threatened with dis
missal or branded as remiss in dutv-
The people who wait for both sides OF
the case are tools of trusts.
How long can a nation endure such
action of things? They threaten the
stability of all forms of business and
create universal distTust-"
