COL. HENRY SPEAKS.
Court House Full Of People to Hear
Republican Issues Discussed.

The court was full of people
last Friday snight Ito hear COL
onel Walter R. Henry discuss the
issues of the campaign from a
Republican standpoint.
From the amount of cheering
and the manner in which the
crowd responded to his hits they
were in sympathy with the speak
er from the beginning and he
had no trouble in eliciting ap-
plause to his remarks about the
way Democrats had acted and
the manner in which Republicans
had administered the affairs of
the government.
Colonel Henry is recognized as
one of the best speakers out for
the Republicans in this campaign
and he came up to the standard
of his admirers at the court house
Friday night.
The speaker told first why he
left the Democratic party and
went from them to the Populists
and finally landed in the Repub-
lican ranks and gave his reasons
therefor, making many telling
hits at the Democratic admins
tration and how Bryan could
write paramount issues while you
wait. In fact his speech was
just such a one as would please
the Republican crowd he had for
hearers and from the cheers he
received, it was evident that the
speech he delivered pleased them.

POLITICAL POT STILL BOILING.
Foraker and Haskell Have Been Put
AlSde. and Others VIII Follow.

AlSde. and Others VIII Follow.
The political situation for the
last few days has been not quite
so sensational as the last week,
but the results in activity among
party leaders have been a great
deal more.
Governor Haskell resigned as
National Treasurer and his sue
cessor was appointed in the per-
son of Herman Ridder, of New
York. The resignation of Mr..
Haskell was an important move
for the Democratic National
Committee and while he does
not admit charges against
him are serious, he says that
he does not care to do anything
that will embarrass the party and
therefore steps down and out
that he may be in a better posi-
tion to defend himself against
the attacks being made.
Saturday mornings dispatches
carried a letter from Senator
Foraker in which he assailed
many of his own party and
Democrats is a position to know
claim that his letter will make
Democratic votes.
Following this Mr.. Bryan
cJmes to the front with a reply
t. President Roosevelt in which
he shows up the president in bad
light. His letter was especially
strong and Den ocrats every
where are pleased.
Some of the most pertinent
and most convincing matter con-
tained in Mr.. Brayn's letter was
the reference to campaign con-
tributions in New York, and
pointing out wherein the presi.
dent had failed to make out his
original charge against Governor
Haskell. .
To this letter of Mr.. Bryan the
President comes back with a
three-column letter in which he
combats the charges made that
all men have not had a square
deal from the administration and
pointing out some instances
where his efforts against the
trusts were effective and giving
plausible reasons why he did cer-
tain things that we're calculated
to help out trusts setting forth
in detail what he has done to de-
stroy unlawful combinations and
declares that the allegations of
Bryan that he or Governor
Hughes were improperly in
fiuenced by campaign contribu-
tions were not straight forward.

ANNUAL OPENING SERMON
DR.. KllgO to Trinity College Students
Last Sunday
AN ABLE DISCOURSE WAS DELIVERED
q Have Finished the Work." Was His
Subject. Many Students and
Friends Hear Annual
OPENING Sermon.

The annual opening sermon at
Trinity College was preached in
Craven Memorial Hall last Sun
day morning by President Kilgo.
1t was an able discourse and a
large number of students and
friends of the College were pre-
sent. His subject was: Il Have
Finished the Work. and he said
in part, as follows:
During the three years Of his
public ministry Jesus was an ex.
ceedingly busy man. From city
to city, from mountain to sea, he
went filling every day with tire
less work. He was never idle,
never halting, never complaining.
He was at all times under the
compulsion Of passion for work.
In every place he found work to
do, and he did it. Within these
three busy years he laid the
foundations of a universal king
dom and set in motion forces that
were destined to conquer the
world.
I'VE are not apt to think of
Jesus as a worker. The very
sanctity with which we regard
his name separates him in our
minds from the scenes of stirring
activity. and, instead of thinking
Of him as the master worker Of
the world, we think Of him in
connection with temples and al
tars. Yet he was seldom in the
temple at Jerusalem. The sea-
shore, the highway, the streets,
and the mountains, were the
scenes of his active life. | wish to
preach to you at this hour on
Jesus as the worlds greatest and
most tireless worker.
"Some Frenchman has said
that it is pity that some relig.
ion did not place work among its
chief ideas. He evidently had
not heard of Jesus. II he had he
would have known that work was
the very keynote Of his life. He
made work the means OF showing
his divinity. What did he mean
when he said. "My Father work
eth hitherto aud | work." except
that work is the leading mark OF
divinity? His eeaseless activity
was the expression of the divine
energy in him. The impulsion
OF divinity kept him at the work
gwen him to do.
"If this Frenchman had read
the first chapter of the book OF
Genesis he would have found
the worlds only working God.
All other gods which men have
worshipped have been idle dei-
ties. There arc enshrined in tem-
pies. But the Bible introduces a
world TO a God that is a worker.
He is in the act of creating worlds
and setting them in order. He is
their ruler, watching them and
administering their laws aud
forces toward the infinite pur-
poses that ill his own thought.
On every page God is at work.
How he moves through the cen.

This classnnate said In their college days

BOUNCES RUBBER STAMP MEN.
Comptroller Says Contractors Dllls Are
Not Properly Audited.

Not Properly Audited.
Comptroller Metz Is reorganizing the
auditing and inspection bureaus Of his de-
partment and yesterday he demanded the
designations Of one auditor and two in
spectors. The Comptroller would not make
known the names Of the men.
"They have done nothing criminal he
explained. they have merely become moss
grown and antiquated, They are what
might call rubber stamp men. When a
contract has been completed it has for
years been the system Of this Office to take
the word OF the contractor that he had
done his work and that the charges he has
made are fair and his bill is passed without
more ado. 1t is a pernicious system and
one that results in the loss Of large amount
OF money to the city every year. The only
auditing and inspecting that is done by
many Of the men In the two bureaus Is TO
put the O X marks on the bills and 30
that they shall not be overworked by writ
ing out the letters In ink some OF them
have provided themselves with stamps.
II Is these rubber stamp men | intend TO
clear out OF the department
Mr. Metz has only begun the work OF
recognizing his department Some days
ago he took at haphazard a. few bills for
work done in the Borough Of Queens and
he found that for supplies and work fur
nished to the Bureau OF Public Buildings
Of that borough the prices were from 70
TO 800 per cent. higher than the market
values Of such supplies and work. And
yet Mr., Metz said, the city Is paying
scores Of auditors and inspectors TO prevent
lust such impositions as these and for all
the protection the city gets from these men
II might dispense with a large proportion
OF them"
Hitherto bills for repair work and for
supplies have been paid when they have
been certified TO by the heads OF the bu-
reaus TO which they have been sent. Mr..
Metz made the rule yesterday that duph-
cate Of every bill sent TO the Finance De-
partment must be laid before him and that
unless the bills are itemized he will hold up
the warrants for their payment. X
