Professor Giddings
 Progressive

Professor Giddings, of Columbia Uni versty, says, '"The United States, as a matter of fact, to-day stands for thief rule and that by a gang of thieves worse than those Christ drove out of the temple"
 A Daniel come to judgment! When a lecturer in one of our greatest uni versailles develops sufficient ocular ability to be able to discern the fact that we are a set of underlings-kept so by the Grabbenheimerism of as cute a little bunch of pirates as ever made n captive crew walk the plank-there's hope, as Doctor Munyanovitch truly says.
 And best of all, this educator-who has the usual number of spinal verte- bra, composed of osseus and cartilige- nous structure, instead of obsequious rubber and quivering gelatine-has the courage of his convictions.
 He isn't afraid to speak the truth trippingly. He doesn't mouth it-like a town crier-nor distort it to his own concave reflection of moral obliquity in matters economic, as some of OUT teachers do.
 For instance, there is a gentleman by name, Day-Chancellor of Syracuse University, whose mind ha1ts bow leggedly along the primrose path of economic dalliance, and whose inane platitudes are sweetest music in the ears of these very gentlemen whom Professor Giddings Hkens unto n.e money changers of old.
 Day tags along behind the band wag- on-about 200 years behind-and every little while he jingles his cap and bells and strikes another sturdy blow in defense of the God of Things as they are.
 He is almost as sincere a friend of Yox Popu,i as is an aggravated at tack of itch
 Happily his kind are becoming less numerous and more apologetic, for when a man really feels called upon to excuse, defend, and palliate, it sig niles that the conditions which require the befudd1ing exrlana tion and obscur- ing apology actually exist. This is the first requisite to their reformation, and marks a long step in advance-as ev- len a myopic tom-tit can perceive. But to our motions.
 There is a masculine strength and virility in Professor Giddings' lacon- ic denunciation of the POWERS THAT PRFY. It is to be hored that the boys who have the inestimable privil- ege of sitting under him-garnering the rich crumbs that fall from his in- tellectual table-will profit by it. Hit them again, Professor. The thieves are becoming a little less pachydermatous- -hided as result of these effective homhardments, and sco the white flag will be run up on the halyards of the Privilege and Plunder twins of the low. black, rakish Brotherho ood-and the People will come into their own. So mote it be. DIR. EDWIN F. BOWERS.

DE LEON DISCOVERED
 FLORIDA 400 YEARS AGO TODAY
MEMS SECTION.

Four hundred years ago today. Eas- ter Sunday. March 27. 1512, Juan Ponce de Leon, the Spanish governor of Porto Rico. sailing westward in search Of a fabled land of perpetual youth. came in sight of an unknown shore. His eyes feasted on the beauties of tropical foliage, and to his ears came the sweet songs of birds. while h.S nostrils delighted in the mingled Odors cf many varieties of fragrant flowers. In part because the supposed island was SO lovely, in part because of the day, called Pascua Florida in the rtt- ual of the church, he gave the name of Florida, '.the Land of Flowers, to the land he had discovered. Several days passed before a landing was effected, at a point where, half century after ward. the city of St. Augustine was founded Ponce de Leon claimed the land for the King of Spain, and set blithely forth on his search for the fountain of youth. Although he ex- plored the coast So,rthward for a con- siderable distance and discovered and gave a name to the Tortugas, the fountain from which bubbled the wa ters that gave earthly immortality was not to be found Ponce de Leon's royal master rewarded him with the governorship of Florida, and in 1521 he sailed back again. He found the na- battle between the Spaniards and the Indians the governor received an ar row wound from which he died not long afterward, in Cuba So ended the quest for eternal youth, and so be- gan the history of Florida.

A Reasonable Plea
 For The Stomach
If Your Stomach Is Lacking Tn Diges- tive Power, Why Not Help the
 Stomach Do Its Work?
Especially When It Costs Nothing to
 Try

Not with drugs, but with rein forcement of digestive agents. such as are naturally at work in the stomach l? Scientific analysis shows that diges- ton requires pepsin, nitrogenous fer ments.and the secretion of hydrochlo- ric acid. When your food fails to di- gest, it is proof positive that some of these agents gre lacking in your di- gestive apparatus.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain nothing but these natural elements necessary to digestion and when pIac- ed at work in the weak stomach and small intestines, supply what these or gans need. They stimulate the gas tric glands and gradually bring the direstive orgfans back to their normal condition.
 s:tuart's Dyspepsia. Tablets have been subjected to critical chemical teets at home and abroad and are found to contain nothing but natural digestives.

NORTH AND SOUTH CHURCHES CONSIDER
 PLAN OF UNITING
Annual Meeting of Nor.h Church
 Held Last Evening

Steps which ultimately lead to the consolidation of the North and South First and Second) Congregational churches were taken last night at the annual meeting of the North church when conference committee was ap- pointed to take up the matter with a similar committee of the sister church.
 That large sentiment for the con- solidation exists in the two congre- gations is generally agreed and the only opposition that developed last night was of a scattered character. The matter came before the church society on a statement of Dr. s. M Garlick, acting as spokesman for the standing committee of the church. Dr. Garlick read a preamble and resolu- tion from the committee which out lined the situation and suggested that a conference between the two church es would be desirable. Members of the standing committee explained that the adoption of this resolution would simply mean the taking up of the matter in a business like and proper manner, but would bind the church to no action. After some dis cussion the resolution was adopted with but very small opposition. Sam uel s. Hawley and Robert Hincks were chosen members at large upon the standing committee.
 Reports of officers showed that $731.53 was on hand at the beginning of the year; receipts. were $1,79971, and expenditures $1.SSS.S1, leaving a balance on hand of $62443. Vincent c. Peck and Henry w. Hincks were chosen deacOnS to succeed themselv1 8. Frank H. Riley was chosen clerk, Herbert M Garlick treasurer and L.. B. Sammis auditor. For members of the standing committee, Frank H.. Riley, Horace W. Smith and Clar- ence D. Anderson were chosen.

Committee on Streets and Side walks to Hold Important
 Meeting Tonight

The Committee of Streets and Side walks of the Common Council will hold one of the most important meet ings of the year at the City Hall to- year beginning April 1 in the street department will be laid out
 Owing to the action of the Board of Apportionment this year. the Com mittee on Streets and Sidewalks is considerably hampered in the expen, diture of the appropriation made for work in the streets. The Board of Apportionment, taking advantage of the opinion returned by City Attor. ney Cullinan, made large share of appropriations for street work in such a way that the money must be spent for specified work. and for no other purpose.
 The subcommittee of the Board of Apportionment dealing with the Streets and Sidewalks acquisitions recommended appropriations for cer. tain work. but by specifying how much money was to be spent in each particular case. the Board of Appor- tionment has restricted the Common Council to just that work.
 Money for the annual work in the Street department becomes available April l. Following the list prepared by the Board of Apportionment the Committee on Streets and Sidewalks will lay out the WOTk TOT the year CnlS evening, and report its rerommenda. tions to the Common Council at it's next meeting.

Webster street and Dewey St. Then grading will be ordered in these three streets, also in Osborne street, Boston avenue bridge, Arctic street bridge, Rooster river bridge. Haw- horne street, Berkshire avenue, Ever green street. River street, Carroll avenue, Webster street and Waldorf avenue. This will entail appropria- tions aggregating s12.410.

that year depredations on American commerce by Algerian pirates became more alarming than ever. and in his message to Congress Washington said: ''If we desire to avoid insult, we must be able to repel it: if we desire to secure peace, one of the most powerful instruments of our prosperity, it must be known that we are at all times ready for war; On March 27, 1794. Congress responded to this appeal by appropriating $7oo.o0o for the six frig- ates, although it was thriftily provided that work on the vessels should cease in the event of a peace with Alg.ers being secured. In 1795 a treaty was made with Algiers on the basis of a payment of tribute or blackmail to the corsairs. The construction of the ves- sel was suspended, which emboldened boarding American vessels and inn pressing Yankee seamen into the Eng fish service, on the preteNt that they were deserters. Congress then. awoke to the seriousness of the situation and ordered the work on three of the frig- ates to proceed. In 1797 the Constitu-- ton, the Constellation and the United States took to the water. By cen- .tury-. ago, when war with England broke out, the navy had been increas-7 ed to twenty vessels.
