There was revival of scenes in
the Senate to-day caused by the able
speech OF Senator Joseph Benson Fo-
raker of Ohio. The galleries were
filled to overflowing. There being
some notable members of the race,
who had come to hear one man who
is champion of fair play, and who
IS not willing to close the doors of
hope on any part of the citizens of
this great Union. The elite of the
national capital came out to listen and
to be true they heard a most able
defence Of the Negro soldiers who
have been accused, convicted and dis
honorahly discharged from the regu-
lar army by the President without
the right of fair and impartial trial.
The Senator received the strictest
attention from his colleagues on the
floor, nearly all of whom were pres
ent, together with a considerable num-
be1 OF members of the House who oc-
cupied places in the rear of the cham

Mr.. Foraker had prepared his speech
very carefully, but his reading of the
manuscript had all of the interest of
an eXtemporaneous address.
When Mr.. Foraker commented on a
statement of the detectives respecting
letter he had written to one of the
discharged soldiers he laid down his
manuscript and with considerable We
hemence declared 81 have doubtless
written some letters needing explana-
ton. l have doubtless written some
letters that l would not have written
if ! had all the information I get at
some other time. But I have never
written any letter since | left my
mothers knee of which I have been
ashamed or that needed any lying to
explain"
WORK OF SPIES.
AS he proceeded his voice grew
more and more intense. "If | have
shown any undue zeal in commenting
on this proceeding" he said again de-
parting from his manuscript, "it is
not through anger, but through that
indignant resentment that every self
respecting man feels who is spied on
by the Government he is attempting
to serve No language can complete
ly describe such a shameful perform
ance, and do not exempt anybody
from that remark who has been con-
nected with it, from the highest to
the lowest"
AS Mr.. Foraker read letters from
some of the negro soldiers denying
tho statement of the detectives he
referred TO bundle of letters on his
desk. and said the originals were
thore If any one cared to see them.
He added that so much suspicion
had been cast abroad he did not care
to assume anything.

crime and its detection nothing more
atrocious, disreputsble and disgrace

When he digressed to say that this

that the work of the detectives, 'is

murder upon an innocent man."
Throughout his sensational and i'm
pressible philippe the Senator never
dissociated the President from the
detectives and their pursuit of evil
dence, and every odious characterize
tion OF the latter was intended by i'm
plication to involve Mr.. Roosevelt
himself. For illustration, when de-
nouncing Brownies affidavit as a lie

the ubiquitous and unholy work" to
which they had been assigned, and
then searching for a superlative ex-
preston of condemnation, he called
it "atrocious, revolving, shocking to
every sense of fairness, justice and
even common decency."

the Twenty-fifth Infantry, from whom
Browne claims he secured confes-
sion duplicating himself and several
other soldiers in the shooting at
Brownsville. 1t was upon Brownies
in this connection that the
President largely based his message
OF last month, in which he pointed
out that detectives were rapidly sue
ceeding in proving beyond all doubt
that the soldiers had committed the
crime. There was a look of triumph
on the Ohio Senator's face when he
read the affidavit of Sheriff Arnold. of
Walton County, Georgia, in refutation
Of Brownies incriminating statements.

SLAMS Of LIFE
AND SOCIETY ARE
SCORED BY PASTOR
The Rev. Stuart Nye Hutchi-
son breaches on "Per-
verted Ideals"

Perverted Ideals" was the topic of
a sermon by the Rev. Stuart Nye
Hutchinson in the First Reformed
Church yesterday, based on the text.
Man looketh on the outward p
anee, but the Lord looketh on the
heart" 1. Samuel xvi, I. He said in
part:
W are living in an age of shams,
of sham ideals and sham values, an
age in which the welghtier matters of
eternal truth are neglected for the
mint n the anise and the cumming of
superhciality.
Look at the social standards of the
time. They are nearly all standards of
the outward appearance. When a new
man comes in the neighborhood the
first question that is asked of him is,
What is his financial rating?' and the
first thing asked about his wife is, How
does she dress?' and the ann in
which they are received Is often de-
termined by these things.
Young women in these days are beine
brought up to think it is a greater
thing Ito know music and art and So
ciety than 1t Is to be an adept in the
arts of home, and out of this has come
the great unrest among women
Among the young men of the time
too, money is too often at a premium
and manhood and character as a dis.
count.
Look at the books hat people ar
reading most these days. What arr
they? Look at the list of books pub.
lished as the most sought for from the
city library, and those most in demand
at the book stores. They are almost
without exception the light, II no
trashy, productions of authors whose
works possess neither literary or intel
lectual or moral merit. This, while tn,
great masterpieces of lierature, Dicken.
and Thackeray and Scott and Eliot ant
Hawthorne, are gathering dust upor
the library shelves.
Take the political ideals of this age
The Newark star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1909, 1909-05-24

The old Idea of a public servant was
one who served as the word signified,
one who put his life and his talents at
the service of the people. Today the
ideal is reversed. Men, except in very
rare instances. go into public life, not
for what they give to the public but for
what they can fitch from it.
Take the great ideal of the church,
the divinity of Jesus. We have been
told recently hat the church in New
York is losing ground, and side by side
with this announcement comes an.
other, and that is that high religious
authorities in certain circles of the
church are losing their belief in the
Godhood of Jesus. The first is always
the result of the second. Whenever, in
all the history of the world since the
beginning Of the Christian era, the
church or any part of the church has
lost its high and holy ideal of Jesus,
it has parted company with its power.
We are not in danger of losing this
ideal, but there are others that we need
to hold fast.
lone of these is the ideal of the Sab
bath. There are scores of good people
in these days who will & for the
Sabbath as a day of recreation. They
say that men are confined in their
offices and factories six days in the
week, and Sunday is the only day they
have to spend in the open air, and
their bodies need the exercise. There
are thousands who are being carried
away by this plausible argument. But
pause a moment and look at the ques-
ton from a wider viewpoint. There Is
in every mans life not only a body but
a soul. The body lives here for a few
years and then passes away; the soul
is to go on forever. Now, IL the de-
mands of a mans business are such
that either the body or the sou must
be neglected, which is the greater? For
a nan to give up the Sababth to the
body and neglect the soul is sacrificing
the reality for the sham, the golden for
the tinsel crown"

Flats Destroy the Poetry OF.
Home Life, Minister Declares

George Peabody should do for America
wha he did for some of the cities and
villages of England, in erecting homes
at cheap rents so that the middle class
a have separate homes. AS 1t now Is.
they exist IN cramped quarters, with a
limited supply of light and air. no safe
place for the children to play. always
in fear Of fire and disease, and the bug
bear Of the months rent crouching in
every corner
These things destroy the poetry OF
home life and fill 1t with hard and
rugged problems which make it decid-
eddy unromantic and prosy. Still a fiat
may be home. be 1T ever so homely.
What is a home? 1t is first of all a
shelter. A shelter enclosing one family
with identity Of interest ard with a Sc
curity from outside intrusion SO com

No may enter without permission.
