RELIGIOUS
Church System Not Right.

Rev. DR.. William III. Boocock, pastor
Of the First Reformed church of Bay
onne N. j., created no slight sensation
when he declared from his pulpit re-
Gently that the doctrines and ecclesias-
tical system Of the church today We're
unsuited to the needs Of the twentieth
century; that the doctrinal system of
the church was heritage from the six
teenth century; that, while it contained
a soul of truth, the body was unsuited
to these times. The church, he said,
was not founded upon book, and he
referred to the story Of Daniel in the
lions den, the opening of the Red sea
before the fleeing Israelites, etc., as
figurative and very exaggerated lam
guage. He said, '"The prophets of the
old time sought the best means of con-
veying to the minds of the sort of peo-
pie then living the religious spirit, but
the things that were vehicles of those
days cannot be vehicles of today" He
declared his intention of asking the au-
thorities of the church for permission
to preach the truth for the next two
years. While the older and more staid
membership of DR.. Boocock's church
are against his opinions, it is said that
many members of his flock are stand
ing loyalty by him, and split in the
society will probably ensue.
Important Biblical codex.
Professor Henry A. Saunders Of the
University Of Michigan believes the
manuscript recently found by Charles
+. Freer is a new codex of the Bible
and the most complete in existence
There are but three others, the Vati-
can, the Alexandrian and the Sinaitic.
No two of these agree exactly, and
none is an original document. There
are many differences Of structure be-
tween the three others and the Freer
manuscript Professor Saunders esti-
mates the date of the new document at
about GAO A. D. He says its differences
from other codices are textual rather
han material.

bilts loan, although they offered her
the family jewels as security. Roose-
welt, sAe asserted, was partly to blame
for the panic, and in her opinion he
had not made good. "All this talk of
Taft being the nominee is moonshine,"
she continued, "for when it becomes
apparent that he cannot carry the con-
vention Taft or some one will get up
and name Roosevelt, and Teddy will
sweep the convention"
Talk Of Vice President Timber.
The names of two state governors
have been much discussed in connec-
tion with the Republican nomination
for vice president on the ticket in case
it is to be headed by Taft-namely,
Guild of Massachusetts and Fort Of
New Jersey. The former was caller
at the White House. and from state
ment he gave to the press afterward
the impression prevailed that he would
not be selected as the running mate of
Taft. Guild denied the truth of any
statement that deal had been made
between him and Taft for the vice
presidency. adding that his duty to his
state would prevent his entering such
a contest. Later Governor Fort was
the presidents guest at Washington,
and his availability for the second

Wants Light on Wage Cuts.

Wants Light on Wage Cuts.
President Roosevelt upon hearing
that the principal railroad systems
were preparing to announce general
reduction in the wages of employees
has started an investigation with
view to finding if such a reduction is
justified by the facts. To this end,
acting under the Erdman law, he has
requested Chairman Knapp of the in
terstate commerce commission and
Commissioner of Labor Neill to make
an investigation and report on what
they find. According to Chief Stone Of
the Engineers Brotherhood, the Chi
cago Great Western is to start the
wage cutting movement. The various
unions are prepared to resist the re-
duction to the uttermost

More Treasury Facts Wanted.

More Treasury Facts Wanted.
The senate has passed a resolution
introduced by Culberson of Texas di.
recting the secretary of the treasury
to inform the senate Of any national
bank outside of New York city COM
planning by telegraph or letter to the
treasury department between Oct. /
and Nov. Is Of the refusal of New York
national banks to pay New York ex-
change in cash or respond to calls for
reserves. If such complaints were
made. the secretary is directed to send
copies of the correspondence to the
senate.
Another Employers Liability Bill.
La Toilette of Wisconsin has intro
bility bill which he believes will pro-
tect the employee more effectually than
the bill recently introduced by Senator
Knox. Some of the distinguishing pro-
visions of the new bill are that no
claim of "contributory negligence"
shall prevent the recovery of damages,
although it may be taken into consid-
Grafton as affecting the amount of such
damages, and also that no workingman
shall be considered as having assumed
the risk of his position if injured in
any operation of railroad which is
engaged in violation Of the law.
Tariff Inquiry Voted Down.
The Democrats in the house made an
effort to place the Republicans on rec
ord as to tariff revision when Hitch
cock of Nebraska moved to authorize
the commercial agents Of the bureau of
manufactures in foreign countries to
collect information about the prices at
which American trust made goods are
sold abroad. The Republican leaders
promptly lined up the majority to sus-
tain the speaker in his ruling that the
motion was out of order in connection
with the legislative, executive and ju-
dicial bill then before the house. The
Democrats appealed from the decision
Of the chair and on this point forced
a roll call.
Cannon Doomed In the House.
While Speaker Cannon was presiding
over the lower house, Feb. IS, his Re-
publican colleague from Illinois-Bou
tell-managed to get the personality
and record of the speaker vividly be-
fore all by recalling the maiden speech
which Cannon made in the house just
thirty-four years ago that very day.
Boutell sketched the scene, mentioning
some of the members on both sides
who were then prominent and who
became more so in later years-Blaine,
Butler, Garfield, Hoar, Stevens, Nor
rison, Randall, Lamar. Mills and 9th
ers-and quoted from Cannon's speech
in favor of the measure to reduce the
postage on reading matter, extend the

special report which he prepared at the
request Of President Roosevelt on the
methods Of designing and the structur-
al efficiency of the American battle
ships. While this report is intended as

have been made or that the battleships
are without their faults. He does con-

that the navy of the United States will
compare favorably in this respect with

modern foreign battleships have for
ward decks from twenty-five to twen-
ty-elght feet above the water very
far from the truth" The height Of
the gun positions in American vessels.
he says, is equal to that Of similar
ships Of the British or Japanese navy,
