ply to the charge that in some of the
battleships the main armor belt shows
but six inches above the water when

RELIGIOUS

Church System Not Right.
Rev. DR.. William Fl. 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 were
unsuited to the needs of the twentieth
century; that the doctrinal system of
the church was a heritage from the six
teenth century; that, while 1t contained
a soul of truth, the body was unsuited
to these times. The church, he said,
was not founded upon a 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 Ian
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 We're 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 u the
society will probably ensue.
Important Biblical codex.
Professor Henry A. Saunders of the
University of Michigan believes the
manuscript recently found by Charles
T. 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
he many differences of structure be-
tween the three others and the Freer
manuscript Professor Saunders est
mates the date Of the new document at
about $40 a. d. He says its differences
from other codices are textual rather
than material

Wants Light on Wage Cuts.
President Roosevelt upon hearing
that the principal railroad systems
were preparing to announce a general
reduction in the wages of employees
has started an investigation with a
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 Neil 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.

Another Employers Liability Bill.
La Toilette of Wisconsin has intro
duced in the senate an employers liza
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

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 jul
dicial bill then before the house The
Democrats appealed from the decision
of the chair and on this point forced
roll call.
Cannon Doomed In the House.
WINE speaker cannon was presiding
over the lower house. Feb. IS, his Re

which Cannon made in the house just
thirty 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
franking privilege to seeds, documents.
etc, and wound up by asking who was
the man who made that speech. Great
applause on both sides of the house
greeted the announcement of the speak
er's name, and there were calls for a
speech, but Cannon refused to be ca
ioled and at once called up the regu-
lar order of business.

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 namely,
Guild of Massachusetts and Fort Of
New Jersey. The former was caller
at the White House, and from a 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 a deal had been made
between him and Taft for the vice
presidency. adding that his duty to his
state would prevent his entering such
contest. Later Governor Fort was

1903 New Army Officers.
At the graduating exercises of the
West Point Military academy, Feb. IA,
108 cadets were given diplomas and
are now in line for commissions in the
regular army where they are said to
be greatly needed Secretary of War
Taft made the principal address and
delivered the diplomas. He reminded
the young men that an army man lost
good part of his freedom of initia-
tive and speech and reminded them
that their plain duty was to ''obey Or

Troops For Alaskan Strike.
BY direction of the president the act
ing secretary of war has ordered a
company of infantry to proceed from
Fort Gibbon, Alaska, to Fairbanks, in
the same territory, to preserve order
during the mining strike in that sec
ton. This action was taken upon rep
resentation of the federal court in
Alaska The distance to be travelled
is 1876 miles, and the troops win be
carried by sleds. The journey can be
accomplished in four or five days.
Converse Defends Our Navy.
Rear Admiral George A. Converse,
retired. president of the board of con-
struction of the navy. has made 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
an answer to all the recent attacks
upon the efficiency of our naval yes
sells, it is primarily a reply to Henry
Reuterdahl's article in a recent number
of a popular magazine. Admiral Con-
verse does not assert that no mistakes
have been made or that the battleships
are without their faults. He does con-
tend, however, that these are few and
that the navy of the United States viii
compare favorably in this respect with
that of any other power.
On the subject of freeboard the adj
miral says that with a few exceptions
our vessels have more freebroad than
the British and Japanese vessels which
have given good service and pronounces
Mr.. Reuterdahls statement that all
modern foreign battleships have for
ward decks from twenty-five to TWEEN
ty-eight feet above the water very
far from the truth. !" The height of
the gun positions in American vessels,

POLITICAL
Taft Against the Field.

att Against the Field.
The antiadministration men and or
gans continue to talk about the chance
of preventing the nomination of Taft
on the first ballot at Chicago by com
bining contesting delegations with the
favorite son vote, admitting that it is
now problem Of Taft against the
field" Notwithstanding that the Ala
bama state committee has declared for
Taft, the state convention is expected
to be a repetition of the one in Florida
recently. Rumor has it that Senator
Crane of Massachusetts is engineering
the southern campaign against Taft.
1t is openly charged that Standard Oil
money was used freely in splitting the
Florida convention. Foraker is ex-
pected to draw off considerable por-
ton of the negro vote.
After his flying trip through Michi-
gan Taft came east to attend the grad
uating exercises at West Point and
then began a dash into New England
with a rousing reception from his alma
mater at Hartford, Conn. At Concord,
N. H., he said the time had come when
the Dingley tariff should be .'re-exam-
ined with view to its revision on a
purely protective basis" In regard to
the Pacific mobilization he said: with
the orientals it is necessary to fill the
eye in order to be convincing. 1t is no
ones business where the feet is go

Still Hearing From the Message.
Later issues of the national weekly
reviews, after an examination of repre-
sentative papers from every section of
the country, agree in reporting the eff
feet of the recent special message of
the president reaffirming his radical
policies The Literary Digest says that
political confusion was the most. no
ticeable immediate result and that "a
wider survey tof the newspaper field
seems to prove that the applause far
outweighs the condemnation, the latter
the manner and not the matter of the
message" The Independent finds that
events in the east, where some of the
leading papers openly disapprove of
the message, the great bulk of opinion
is in approval and that the people take
little stock in the talk about the
Roosevelt panic" This approval is
quite as apt to be found among Demo
Gratis as among Republicans.

MINERAL WATERS WASTED.
Present Methods of Utilization Leave
Much to Be Desired.

A plea for more mineral spring
resorts is made in a report just issued
by the geological survey regarding the
production of mineral waters in 1907,
during which year the total output in
the. United States was 52,060.520
gallons, valued at S7,331,503. In the
previous year there We're 4S.10S,5S0
gallons. valued at $S.026.3S7. There
We're 5S4 springs which reported sales
in 1907, against $50 springs in 1906.
The net increase in product amounted
to 3.951 $40 gallons. or over per

has q climate as varied as any
country in Europe and a much wider
range OF mineral springs. but the
foreign spas attract thousands Of
American visitors who find what they
cannot find at home. Our springs
lack attraction, less has been done to
heautify the surroundings and the
present methods of using the water
leave much to be desired. For a guest
to drink much of a strongly
mineraliZcd water as suits him, when
ever he has the whim, regardless of
the character of the water. his diet or
his mode of living at the resort, is
absurd
The report urges that at the famous
resorts the effort should be to impress
on visitors the medicinal character Of
the waters and the Importance Of
rational use, springs should be de-
veloped. and waste and deterioration
of quality by excessive use should be
prevented
