st. Louis, Oct. 14.-Discussion Of
the proposal to enact a church law
forbidding to perform a remarriage
ceremony regardless of the question
Of the supposed guilt or 'inno-

persons was resumed at today's ses-
sion of the house of deputies of the
triennial convention of the Protestant
Episcopal church.
The proposed canon recommended
in the report of a commission ap-
pointed at the last general convention
has attracted widespread interest,"
Speakers, arguing for it's adoption,
generally conceded that no legislation
of the church can put an end to
remarriage, but asserted that the pro-
posed law would help the church to
live up to it's marriage service, which
binds man and a woman until
death do US part. 1t was pointed
out that the present canon, provid-
ing that clergymen shall not solemn

party to the divorce, imposes a diff
cult problem on the clergy, particu-
have been obtained by actual collu-

gressive Ticket Tells How ''T. r."

New York. Oct. 14.-With a plea
for the reelection of President Will
son, John M. Parker, progressive can
didate for vice president, delivered
an address here today at a reception
given him by members of the ma
tional progressive party in which he
dwelt somewhat at length on the part
taken by Theodore Roosevelt and
George w. Perkins in the efforts to
get the progressive and republican
conventions in Chicago last June to
unite on a presidential candidate
Mr.. Parker quoted COL Roosevelt
as saying in 1913 that 81 am for this
cause to fight to the end-while life
LASTS and that II will never abandon
the principles to which we progress
sives have pledged ourselves, and I
will never abandon the men and wom-
en- who drew around me to battle for
these principles
He also quoted George w. Perkins
as stating he was opposed to return
ing to the republican party because
it had been more reactionary than
ever
t"The statement of our leader" Mr.
Parker continued, land the concur
renee of the chairman of our execu-
tive committee were accepted at par
by a trusting body of men and women
who implicitly believed in our leaders.
The tragedy of the great gathering
at Chicago from June 7 to June 10
inclusive is a matter Of history"
Calls Republicans Wolves.
Mr.. Parker said that he had in
formation that every move in the
progressive convention was approved
by Col. Roosevelt over the teleuhone.
AS a member of the committee on
conference, he said, when a request
was presented by Mr.. Perkins from
Col. Roosevelt that the name of Henry
Cabot Lodge be suggested for presi-
dent st emphatically declined to be
a messenger or carry any suggestions
to the republican committee, as
recognized the right of no man to
turn us over body and soul. to those
same republican wolves against whom
lifelong republicans had revolted in
1912"
Mr. Parker said that when he ac
cepted the nomination to the vice
presidency he realized that if he de-
clined it would be thought he was
"a party to the betrayal of the prin
ciples'' that brought the progressive
convention together.
ct am not a democrat" Mr.. Park
err said, "but believe the thanks of

Why Dogs Don't Light Fires
GNeW York SUM-

Nothing could be more welcome than a
subject upon which no notes will be writ
ten in Washington. no speeches will be
made in the Decentralization period and
which will not be mentioned in the terms
of European peace. Specifically, We re-
fer to the discussion of the psychic deval-
opment of dogs, as considered in The Sun
by correspondents of various opinions.
One of these, Mr.. Thomas Guilfoyle,
seems confident that he clinches his ar
gument when he quotes "a standard psy-
chologlst':
There is no evidence that during all
the time brutes have existed upon the
earth they have invented single me-
chanlcal instrument, lit a fire or inteli-
gently transferred a useful piece of in
formation from one generation to an
other"
Every owner of dog will be hit in the
eye by the first Indictment. 1t is true
No dog ever has invented an asphalt
roller or potato peeler or a coat hanger
or non-refillable whiskey bottle Of
course he could have no use for such
things. but does that palliate his offence
OF omission? The only mechanical in
struments he could use would be wise
for holding a bone and knife or pliers
for removing the meat. For wise the
deficient creature uses his paws and tor
the knife or pliers he substitutes his
teeth. Instead of inventing an ivory back
scratcher he rolls in the street, poor
Ounce!
He has never lit a fire There he
stands, convicted through the prime test
of human intelligence. Worse still, he
has put fires out when ne fourd ttem
burning in the wrong place, and he has
dragged his master from his bed to ex-
tinguish blaze. This, however, was the
outward sign of canine imbeciity. is it
worth while pleading for the defendant
that he never needs to light fire; that
the chemistry of "a husky dog demands
his meat raw, and that he knows that
Man builds enough fires to keep him
warm? But, cries the prosecution, sup
pose Man is absent? Observe the dog as
he prepares for sleep on chill evening.
He puts his four paws. his most impor-
tant freezable possessions, in a bunch
where the warmth from his nostrls will
play on them. Man is not dependable
and fires go out, but the dog is safe. He
