'.In nominating former Governor Taylor to succeed Mr. Carmack In " thai United State Senate, Tennessee h followed recent etamples In the , Booth and her action will by no mean ; add anything In the wav of ability the tipper branch of Congress.

Ilia Intel lectual endowment has been strength ened by his habits as a student. He " la brilliant, bold and aggressive, and v none can charge that he Is of the cUas of men who 'crook the pregnant . hinge of the knee that thrift may : follow fawning.' Whether right or "Wrong he dare maintain his position and ask quarter of no man.

Dry Algernon 8. Crapaey, pastor f; of ' Bt., ' Andrew's Protestant . v. Episcopal church , at Rochester. ' Ti' -..was that he l; guilty of heresy and thaf'ne aould be suspended until "ha "shall. satisfy the ecclesiastical authorities of the diocese that his belief and teach logs conform' to the doctrines of the Apostles Creed and the Nlcene. Creed aa this' Church has received the same." This verdict and reepmmn datton Is signed by four of the five minister before whom the case Was tried, the firth member filing a dis senting opinion calculated to exoner ate the accused, or at least greatly palliate his alleged offence. The charges against Dr. Crapsey grew out of a series of sermons deliv ered by him while he was rector of St. Andrew's church at Rochester, and which he subsequently published In book form under the title, "Religion and Politics," The actual utterances of the doctor which led to the trial for heresy are said to be tho follow ing: "Seventy-three years after the death of Julius Caesar. Jeans of Nuxareth, the son of Joseph, a earprnter of Galilee, laid aside the tools of his trade and went down to the crossing of the Jordan, at tracted by the teaching of a new and strange preacher who waa stirring up the people by l lai vigorous denunciation of the evils of the day. "The history of Jesus is the product Of historic raiisea. He wns born In time to meet a great opportunity, and Jean wut the man crested for the purpose of in augurating the movement that was to change the base of human life. We have thouslit nf Him so long as a mythologi cal being, we have talked of Him so long ss a metaphysical abstraction, and have Pin ci-d Illm for centuries out of the rants of human vlcUsltudes, at the light hand o! the Mnjesiy on high, that wa cannot view lllm In Ilia historical' .relations without a shock to our reverence. Yet this hlatorlcsl Jesu I the real Jesus, the man of Ood who founded the religion celled Christian. "Jesus did not succeed because He waa horn nf a virgin or hecauaa He wa re ported to have risen bodily from the dead. Tlieae legends concerning Him are the result, not the cause, nf the mar velous success nf the man. These stories were told of Him - because the simple could In no other way expraee their con ception of the greatness of Jesus. "In the light nf scientific research, the Founder of Christianity no longer etamls apart from the common destiny of man In life and death, but He la In all things phyelcal-IIke a we are. horn aa we were horn, dying a we die, and In both life and death. In the keeping of thst same divine power, thst heavenly fatherhood which delivers us from the wumb) and carries us down to the grave, "We are not stunned, ws are relieved, when scientific history proves to us that the fact nf Ills miraculous birth wns un known to Himself, unknown to His mother, and unknown to the whole Chrl'tian community of the first genera tion." In view of this evidence against Dr. Crapaey, It la not surprising tiat the verdict whs guilty. The case Has at tracted wide attention and future pro ceedings will be watched with nter est. "The Host Life Insurance" Is the ti tle of a cartoon In The Memphis News-Sclmltar, representing tho Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers a standing for "a strong hand and sober hsad In the cab." The Brother hood being In annual session at Mem phis makes the cartoon timely and tho truthfulness of the representation Is readily recognised. This I a labor organisation of the right kind, and one to which strike and like troubles re practically unknown. The "H. L. p." Is a guarantee, to the traveling public that they are In competent and reliable handa so far as the,, engineer Is concerned. Our Washington correspondent said In yesterday's paper that "some there were who professed the belief that Mr. Allison wrote- the letter himself to himself" In connection with the President's explanation regarding the ratu bill controversy. A nolabln prec edent for such a course was establish ed In North Carolina some year ago, when a distinguished official made public a letter said to hnve been writ ten by a resident of one of the moun tain cove In western North Carolina, heartily endorsing the official s course In opposing "them rallrode fellers." ' In discussing the vnunti'd courage of the President recently, Senator Halley took occasion to say In effect that Mr. Roosevelt has shown him self very brave In the absence of op position, but . whenever opposition de velops (he Chief Executive has always rniitiwged to Had a pretext for climb ing down. That is true. The Presi dent Is all right so long as the flu Is flying and the fight going hH , but when tho advantage shifts well, he can't stand the gaff, that In all. Albert PullUer, after a stay of soma years In Pali, baa returned to New York with new Ideas regarding Jour nalism, and The New York Herald prints dally Interviews with leading publishers regarding what Pulluer has to say of the yellow Journal.
