Chicago Rejects New Charter.
By majority Of slightly over $4,000
in light vote the city of Chicago re-
jected the new charter authorized by
the last legislature. This charter pro-
vided for change in the method of
taxation, doing away with number of
different bodies and concentrating the
power of tax levies in the city council.
The opposition was due mainly to the
clause giving the taxing bodies power
to levy on property as high as per
cent of the assessed valuation.
Favors New Constitution.
President Edmund j. james of the
University of Illinois in his address on
Illinois day at the Jamestown EXPOSE
ton frankly advocated the creation of
new federal constitution. He held
that 1t was highly demoralizing for the
American people to do as they pleased
without regard to anything but their
own views of expediency and then
maintain that all these things are in
harmony with certain professed prin-
ciples of the law and the constitution.
He thought the time had come when
problems Of such complexity and mag
nitude confront us that they cannot be
solved without large cooperation of
the federal government, such that it
cannot be extended within the limits
of the constitution.

would be toward the destruction Of
dogmas and Of the church hierarchy.
Modernism is further characterized as
UNLIMITED curiosity, presumption, indi-
v1dual1sm, ignorance and disrespect Of
real Catholic science and discipline.
All bishops are enjolned to see that the
clergy and the laity be turned from
this line of thought and are ordered to
establish college of censors in every
diocese to revise Catholic publications
and rigidly to prescribe all objection
able books, newspapers or pamphlets.
Notwithstanding this general prohi-
billion, the pope's letter endeavors
to distinguish between modernistic
thought and the modern studies which
are not in opposition to the church.
He foresees that the adversaries Of the
church Will represent it as the enemy
of science and progress. ITO this"
says the pope, 1--WE will reply by our
actions" and he goes on to say that
the most 1llustrious representatives Of
Catholic science will be grouped to-
gether with the object of favoring and
helping "the progress of everything
that can be called true science or erudi-
tinn." The encyclical also orders the
dismissal from seminaries and Catho-
lie universities Of all teachers who pro-
TESS modernistic theories. In the Eu-
ropean press there is some discussion
as to whether this encyclical is aimed
at one country more than another.
Some say it is directed against France
and others against the United States,
but 1t is by no means certain that the
pope had any particular nation in
mind.

Test of Church Cordially.

Test of Church Cordially.
Miss Laura A. Smith tells in the La-
dies Home Journal Of her experiences
In making series of visits to different
churches In the larger cities with the
object Of testing "the welcome given
a stranger in the average church to see
what was meant by the invitation
Strangers cordially welcome" Miss
Smith says that she dressed in very
plain clothes and by both dress and
manner tried to typify the average
young woman who, stranger in the
city, seeks church utilization. In
only two churches of New York and
Brooklyn did the pastors voluntarily
seek her out and speak to her. In one
other the pastor was brought to her,
while in five churches thirteen men,
bers had spoken to her, and in thirty
two she had been ignored absolutely,
in all thirty-seven churches having
been visited. In Boston she attended
twenty-four churches, and of these
one pastor spoke to her, while In four
four members, two being ushers, pass
ed friendly word, while in the other
nineteen mot word from any one"
From the inhospitable east she turned
her steps westward, where the results
of her yisitations remain to be record
ed.
Several New York and Boston minis
tiers interviewed upon the question
raised by Miss Smiths test hold that
it is now generally regarded as beyond
the true courtesy of the church to force
attentions upon visitors, such as hand
shaking and questioning. One says
that because personal inquiries are not
made or attentions paid is in no sense
contradiction Of the invitation to
strangers. Another says that normal
persons go to church not for sociabill-
ty, but for spiritual ediication, COM
munion and exaltation; hence they ap-
preciate the gentle courtesy of being
let alone in their quest.

NEGRO BAPTISTS In A ROW
BROWNSVILLE AFFAIR NEARLY
pIsRUPTs CONVENTION.
Resolutions crltleising President Re.
placed BY MIlder Set After
Stormy Discussion.

Washington, Sept. 1S.-Despite the
efforts of some of the leaders to keep
out of its discussions all matters po-
litical, the national negro Baptists'
convention Monday, after stormy
session in the course OF which Presid-
ing Officer Morris threatened to leave
the chamber, holly debated the
Brownsville affair.
The committee on the state of the
union had refused to eliminate from
its report all reference to the question
and had prepared resolutions on the
subject which, it was learned, severe
ly criticised President Roosevelt and
strongly praised Senator Foraker for
the stand he had taken. 1t was only
through fear of disrupting the conven-
ton that the delegates, after support
ing the purpose of the committee to
submit the report, reconsidered and
consented to milder set of resolu-
tions offered by the presiding officer.
The resolutions are as follows:
I'm common with all good citizens,
we deplore what has come to be
known as the Brownsville affair and
we trust that the time will yet reveal
the real perpetrators of the crime.
1.-THE entire country is under debt
OF gratitude to the Hon. j. B. Foraker
and others who secured for the
soldiers the right to be heard in their

will then be vigorously pushed, espe-
cially in the matter of the judiciary.
