FREE SPEECH AND THE METHODIST
CHURCH
The charges made against Chancellor
Day of the Syracuse University, of
violating the rules of the Methodist
Episcopal church in having criticised
the president will be heard at the an
nual session of the New York confer
ence which meets April 1. This is
what Chancellor Day is accused of say
in*:
"Anarchy of the sort practiced by
President Roosevelt is the most dan
gerous kind of anarchy. Anarchism in
the White House is the most perilous
anarchism that has ever threatened our
country. It means anarchy if the
judges are to be set aside and their ver
dicts held up to criticism by the Presi
dent."
And this is the rule he has broken:
"It is. therefore, expected of aH who
continue therein that they shall con
tinue to evidence their desire of salva
tion,
"First, by doing no harm, by avoiding
evil of ever; kind, especially that most
generally practiced, such as * * unchar
itable or unprofitable conversation: par
ticularly speaking evil of magistrates
or of ministers"? paragrjph 30 of the
general rules of the Methodist Episco
pal church.
The charge* are made by Rev. George
A. Cook of Brandon, Vt.
If Chancellor Djy thinks the presi
dent is at fau't, and that the courts
have been unjustly maligned and that
the occasion is of so much moment that
he feels justified in breaking this law
of the church in setting bis protest up
before the people, it only remains for
him to sta^d by his guns.
Free speech is one of the preroga
tive guaranteed the average American
citizen, however the tenets of the
church may withdraw that privilege
from its ministers. It will be a pretty
question raised at the conference, no
doubt, as totne application of this rule
and the effect of the same in tying the
tongue of intelligent men at times when
thev feel there is some thing that should
be said for the general good. Of course
the other side of this question, the tine
to be drawn as to how far and where
and when ministers may go into
politics, if at a'l, will be offered in re
buttal?and the discussion of the mat
ter will servo none but. a good purpose.
15 THE bKASWAY SCHOOL DAN6ER PROOF ?
The Cleveland exchanges of the Al
askan have come to hacd bringing full
details of the recent awfijl holocaust at
Colliouwood school, in that city. The
cause of the fire in which 167 living
children were cremated w 19 caused by
overheated boilers. The janitor who
was given some notorietv for his hero'c
efforts at rescue and whose name the
initial fault is charged, lost his own
children in the general mass and was
himself badly burned. There seems to
have been amor, criminal carelessness,
however, that was not that of the jani
tor but of others much higher up, for
the pipes conveying the heat were not
covered with asbestos but coarse cloth
easily ignitible. The Clevelaud Leader
appears with the map of the state of
Ohio almost obscured by a draping of
crepe indicative of the universal sor
row. The usual investigation is going
on as to the cause. It seems sickening
to think that the hoary old world has
not yet grown old enough to have
learned the superior virtue of preven
tion in such matters. Are the Skag
way schools proof against just such an
happening?'
The democrats have a notion of going
Into the next campaign with tariff re
vision as an excuse for their existence.
Rootevelt gets the congress to pledge
Itself ia advance of the conventions to ,
rtviie the tariff at a special session to '
be assembled for the purpose immedi
ately after March 4th, together with j
a lot of other things that might pos
sibly be used to excite the passions of
ttib multitude, such as the employers
liability, and the like. And some people
say Roosevelt is not a politician.
Congressman Littlefi-jld resigns as a
member of congress bat takes tbe pre*
caution to make it effective next Sep
tember so that it may notloterfere with
his drawing a salary all summer during
which time his duties us congressman
will certainly not interfere with the
practice of his profession. It goes to
; show that Littlcfield is a good lawyer.
There is hope for China when tbe
populace? the people who would have
to face the guns? have a mind of their
own as against the weakness of those in
authority, and are brave enough to ex
press It. The people really wanted to
fight? the emperor only thought ha
did.
Just when President Roosevelt has|
| asked congress to place limitations on
the right of injunction as exercised by
the cour'a, the court of the District of
Columbia enjoins the greatest labor
[ organization of the country against ad
vertising a business h:use in the unfair j
I list.
The number of ships that have gone
down within a recent period makes op
a fearful total in both loss of life and
property, and indicates the great haz
| ard of business and other ventures at
sea.
With the Burnside and the cable
both laid up for repairs, the Alaskan
interior is up against it ior oews. They
find that the loosest way round is the
surest if not shortest way there.
The fishes of the sea are probably in
full sympathy with the 6sherraen at
San Francisco wno are refusing the re
duction of two per cent in pay proposed
by the packers association.
It is perhaps a sign of Amencaoiza
tion when two Koreans in San Francis
co pluck ud courage enough to do a
little assassinating in behalf of their
country.
It may be a pretty sure bet that at
the next election, should Delegate Cale
be a candidate for re-election, he will
not carry Juneau.
A PROPHECY ;
(Stacy E. Baker in the Bohemien.)
You will come back to us then:
Wheu the city's siren voices lose their
cunning and their skill.
Acd the clash of clanging trolleys
ring discordant to your ear,
Then the ever mellow cadence of the
little woodland rill
Shall tinkle out of memory, and lure
you to us ? here!
You will come back to us then.
You will come oack to us then.
When the clamor of the pulsing night,
and ull the stress of day,
Shall speak of pleasures faded with
the jovs of them long fled,
Your feet shall seek the greenness of
the sun-bright meadow way,
And your ears shall court the silence
of the star-lit night instead.
You will coma back to us then.

TESTING HIS TONGUE.
The Unhappy Experienco of * Young
Married Woman.
A young married woman In Brooklyn
suspected that her husband was In
dulging in wine. She determined, how
ever, to say nothing till she had con
firmed her suspicions. In conversation
with her bosom friend she said she
would give anything to discover the
truth. The friend mentioned that a
man even slightly intoxicated cannot
pronounce words of length. This gave
the young wife an Idea, which she pro
ceeded to put into execution.
When the young women met again,
the suspicious wife announced tliat the
worst had been ascertained. She burst
into tears and took from her hand bag
a paper, which she handed to her
friend.
"I gave him this," she sobbed.
The friend read from the list the fol
lowing words: "Phlloprogenltiveness,
disproportionableness, pseudaesthesla,
phthisis, parachronism, hypochondria
sis, photochromy, syncategorematlc."
"And," added the unhappy wife, with
a fresh sob, "the wretch missed nearly
nil of them!"? New York Tribune.
The Pack Train x^estaurant will serve
wine with dinner orders, free in plac?
of tea or coffee. Come on boys.
At the Wind's Mercy.
"Scrogglns is always boasting about
kis new balloon. "
"That's all it's good for."
"What's all It's good for?"
"To blow about."? Cleveland Plain

Why. he with vows and arms could

But forty days of waiting taxed bis soul.

He had forgotten, quite, the lover's role?
In fact, bo told her plainly he was mar

Shakespeare's Last Illness.
According to 11 tradition handed
down by Ward, the vicar or Stratford.
Shakespeare's last Illness was a fever
brought on by a "merry meeting" with
Drayton auJ Ben Jonsou. Another au
thority. Halllwell-Phllllps, says that
the great poet died of typhoid, caused
by the filth and bad drainage about
New Place. T.ike nearly everything
else about Shakespeare, the question
of the character of his last illness can
be answered only conjecturally.

Heat of the Sun.
It has been computed that the tem
perature of the surface of the sun
would be expressed by IS, 000 degrees
of Fahrenheit's thermometer, or be
tween eighty and ninety times the tem
perature of boiling water. This Is
about five times the highest tempera
ture that man Is able to produce by ar
tificial means. The light given off from
the surface of the sun Is reckoned as
being 5,300 times more Intense than
that of the molten metal in a Bessemer1
converter, though that Is of an almost
blinding brilliancy. If we compare it
with oxyhydrogen flame, the sun sheds
a light equal to 140 times the intensity
> of the limelight
