DAY WILL
BE CALLED ON CARPET
Pastor George A. Cook of the Brandon M. E. Church
Charges Him with Defaming the Character of Pres-
dent Roosevelt Chancellor Day Says He is not
Worried.

DR. p. NJ. Waters, the allegations
have been laid.
When seen at his home in Yonkers
last night, DR.. Waters would say
only: "Aly position in the affair is
a judicial one and it would therefore
be improper for me to discuss the
matter in any way"
II is stated that DR.. Day is charged
with having spoken "evil of magis-
ltrates" in violation of paragraph 30
Iof the general rules of the Methodist
church, which warn against "unchari-
table or Improbable conversations;
particularly speaking evil OF magis-
trates or of ministers
None of the prominent Methodist
clergymen of the city would discuss
the Cooke charges for publication
last night, though in one instance 1t
was pointed out that speaking evil
of a magistrate" in the generally acz
lcepted sense of the term, and as
probably intended In the discipline,
could hardly be construed as forbid
ding criticism of the public acts OF
elected executive.

some one and he has exercised this

Brandon, Vermont. March T.
Charges have been preferred by Rev.
George A. Cook, pastor of the Meth
odist Episcopal church in Brandon,
against Rev James r.. Day LL. D.,
chancellor of Syracuse university, on
the ground that Or. Day defamed the
character of President Roosevelt. The
charges have been presented to Rev.
iDr. r. NJ. Waters, presiding elder
, of the New York church conference
to the Methodist church, to which
Chancellor Day is enthusiastically at
tached.
When interviewed concerning the
ALLEGATIONS, Rev Mr.. Cooke said It
was true he had brought charges
against Chancellor Day. He said
that in book entitled "a Raid
,on Prosperity" written by Chancel-
lor Day, President Roosevelt was
severely criticized and that in his
opinion DR.. Day had violated the
rules of the Methodist Episcopal
church In thus assailing the presi-
dent.
Mr.. Cooke stated that the specific
lcharges preferred was defamation
,of character. He considered that al
though Syracuse university is under
obligations to the Standard Oil peo-
Iple by reason of large money gifts,
Chancellor Day was not justified as a
minister of the Methodist church in
lasasiling President Roosevelt.
The university itself is non-secta-
'rian.
II Is expected the charges Will be
passed upon at the April conferences
of the New York district.
Rev. Mr.. Cooke was formerly pas
tor of the Methodist church at Mil
ford, Mass. and is well known In
New England and New York through
Ihis campaign against Professor
Hinckley G. Mitchell, former profess
or Of Hebrew and Old Testominal
Iexegesis of Boston university.
More recently he has appeared In
charges against Borden Parker Bow.
en-, professor OF philosophy at Bos.
ton university, and against DR.
lanes NJ. Buckley, editor OF the
lChr!stion Advocate. These charge,
were d'smissed after hearing.

THE little honey-bee must divide
honors with old biddy in making
money for its owner. An item is 60
ing the rounds that is impressing
this fact. Three hundred billion
bees ESTIMATED, not counte0 made
enough honey last year to fill a train
reaching from New York to Buffalo.
This product, at ten cents a pound,
was worth $25, 100000, and if the
owners of the bees had co.operated
with the steady little workers, il
might easily have been increased to
three times that amount. This pro.
duct, the Technical World figures, is
worth nearly as much as the barley
crop; three times as much as the
buckwheat; is $4,000, 900 greater
than the rye crop. and nearly So.
UOO, OOO greater than the rice crop.
10 appreciate these results, one must
necessarily strive also to grasp in
imagination the number of insects at
work. That is rather difficult, for
three hundred billion stretches a
long way beyond intelligent human
comprehension. The human mind
doesn't work well, in anything
greater mathematically than thou
sands.

A Prophetic Forecast.

State Senator Rands, of Clarke
county was one of the most earnest
intelligent and consistent opponents
of that monstrosity, the Direct Pri-
mary bill, in the last Legislature.
So clearly could he see the effect OF
its many incongruities, that when
the bill was before the upper house
for final passage, in exclamation of his
vote. Senator Rands, presented the
following protest and asked that it
spread upon the journal, which was
done and from which we quote:
an opposed to the bill for the follow
ing reasons:
!. A Direct Primary election law, no
matter how well guarded, favors the rich
man at the expense Of his poor neighbor.
No poor man, no matter how efficient
and capable, can afford the expense of a
campaign for State office.
2. The ultimate result OF Direct
Primary election law will be to give all
States offices to the big cities, and the
majority of county offices to the most
pOpulOus centers of the county. No
small county, or sparsely settled rural
community, can hope to secure an Office
under the act.
5. This law tends to break up and de-
stroy party lines and in my judgment will
ultimately wipe out not only the Repub-
liCan but every other party III the State.
I haIIQVn The
government ard its affairs have been
dominated by party policies since the
organization OF our government. l be-
lieve that responsible party will give
better government than any chaotic con-
glomeration of individuals elected in a
free-for-all squabble, where every can
didate and otiiceholder represents only
himself.
4. l am opposed to this bill because
it is vouched for and has been forced
upon the State by political hacks who
have been repudiated Ger and DER.
o. The only commendable feature of
this bill, to my mind, is that those same
political hacks will ultimately find that
they will be repudiated under a law,
which they have advocated in hopes only
of personal eXaltation.
1t reads as if it had been inspired
by the spirit of prophecy, so nearly
has it outlined the results that have
followed its application solar, but we
maintain that it was simply the ap-
plication by analytic mind of a logi-
cal process of reason from cause 20
effect. There is no q deduction sug-
gested by Mr.. Rands that has not
been more than verified by actual
results at the first trial of the new
system.

THE increase of assessed property
valuations of the State this year,
has been about S2,0O0,000, caused by
the lining up of the Weyerhauser

turn and proper va luation of their
huge holdings in timber acreage
throughout the State The total as
ScsSment reaches 1892, 600. 900. This
includes hepersonaI property, which
is computed at $40, 672, $50. The Tax

ANOTHE DIRECT PRIMARY pryyt

Section 30 of the Primary election
law provides that every candidate
shall, not less than ten days after
the election, file in the Office in which
he filed his declaration of candidacy.
q sworn statement of his expenses re-
garding his canvass. This word
less seems to have been cleri-
cal error printed in the laws of the
State. The lawmakers doubtless
meant more" if they meant any
thing. 1t is somewhat doubtful wheth-
er a candidate who has expended no
more than the filing fee, which is a
matter OF public record. is required to
file such statement. However. many
who are in this predicament are
complying with this provision, in
order to be on the safe side. The
County Auditor charges twenty five
cents for filing each sworn statement.
while the Secretary of State makes
no charges, according to the STAND
ARDS information.
