THIRD TERM STANDS IN WAY Great Editor Acclaims Suggestion of Inheritance Tax at Remedy for .Plutocracy Now Bryan Has the Floor. LOUISVILLE, Ky.. April 17.-(Spccial.) Henry "Watterson Jn the Courier-Journal tomorrow will deal exhaustively with that part of President Roosevelt's speech delivered at the laying of the corner stone of the annex to the National Capi tal, wherein the Chief Executive refers to the necessity of a law looking to. the collection of a "progressive tax on all fortunes beyond a certain amount, either given In life or bequeathed upon death to any Individual a tax so framed as to put it out of the power of the owner of one of these enormous fortunes to .hand on more than a certain amount to any one Individual." Mr. Watterson says: Ax at Root of Tree. "This Is a. bold deliverance. It pro-' poses to put the ax at the root of the tree. Nothing more radical has emanated from any of the apostles of discontent whom we sometimes 'dismiss as dreamers, sometimes as agitators, but in cither case as far ahead of thetlme. As slavery was the menace of "the Union In 1858. money is Its menace now. As slavery built up an oligarchy In the South, money Is building up a plutocracy in the United States. Just as it was true that Govern ment could not endure half free and half slave. It is true that, if the Govern ment docs not destroy the plutocracy, the plutocracy will destroy the Government. -Might Build Xcw Party. "There will not be wanting those who will accuse the President of a scheme to wreck both parties and to build a party ww... anu lu uunu . puny i o( his own. The times. Indeed, seem ripe I fni. , 1 i.i ...... . .1 for this on the proposition disclosed last Saturday. The Republicans, brought to a showdown, would probably be split nearly in halves. The proportion of Democrats supporting it would be. of course, much greater, at least three to one. Except in the person of the President himself, there happens to be no single figure standing clearly before tlie country, of signal ability and great popularity. Can such thought have been running through the Roosevelt fancy? Third-Term Tradition in Way. "Let us hope not. Because there stands the third-term tradition, and woe to him who believes that it is not deeply rooted in the minds and hearts of the great body of the people, the very bedrock of demo cratic and republican government their safeguard against absolutism. It will not do for Mr. Roosevelt to tamper with this. That he Is committed to the tradition might furnish a reason why he should not, hut even that fact would be as noth ing against the uprising of all parties, the union of all elements, no matter what the leadership, what the opportunity aud what the temptation, to rescue the Gov ernment from one-man power, whether It tok Its cue from Diaz in Mexico, or Caesar in Rome. Mr. Bryan Has the Floor. "This apart, the President in a lucid sentence advances the thought of a gen eration. By a single stroke he puts the danger before the people and suggests the remedy. "But we talk too much. The country wll want to hear from the gentleman from Nebraska. Mr. Bryan has the floor." RARE GIFT TO ROOSEVELT Leading -Men of France Present Memoirs of Sully.

CHAOS AMONG DIVORCED Lawyers See Tangled Titles Growing From Supreme Court Decision. CHICAGO. April 17. It is estimated by Chicago lawyers that the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States hold ing illegal all divorces except where both parties to the suit resided within the same Jurisdiction will make Illegal 300 divorces that have been granted In this city alone, and pave the way for all manner of com plications in the next generation over in heritance and the rights to property. Several prominent attorneys declared that the decision simply means chaos in regard to the title to personal property, as In cases where a man who was. in the sight of the decision, illegally divorced and remarried, his property most, of ne cessity, go to his legal heirs, and cannot be held by any children of any woman he may have married subsequent to his di vorce.

Tliose who would condone the action the mob speak of the killing of a negro by young Peters at Springfield last night. In this case Peters was attacked bv the negro, and he shot to save his life and the honor of the lady he was escorting. His act was courageous and was entirely blameless In the eyes of the law. Con sdous of the righteousness of what he had done, he weut to the authorities and gave himself up. He was promptly and properly discharged.

TJloccsc or Western New York Ac cuses Dr. Crapsey or Heretical Teaching In Sermons. 3ATAVIA. N. Y.. April 17. The trial of the Rev. Algernon S. Crapsey, of the Protestant Episcopal Church, on charges of heresy was called before the ecclesi astical court at St- James parish-house here today. Dr. Crapsey's first move to secure an adjournment was defeated by a vote of 4 to 1. but when his counsel announced that the case would be allowed to go by default If the court Insisted on ptoceedlng forthwith, it was decided after some discussion to postpone the case until April 25. Dr. Crapsey. who has been for 23' years rector of St. Andrew's Church at Roches ter, is charged with utterances from the pulpit of that church and In print which are alleged to be In violation of the tenets of the Protestant Episcopal faith. In 1301 and 1305 Dr. Crapsey delivered a series of sermons, afterward published, under his authority, under the title Re ligion and Politics." The presentment against him contains 13 extracts from this book, which are the basis for the charge that he intentionally expressed disbelief In these doctrines of the church: "The divinity of Christ: the conception of the Holy Ghost: the virgin birth; the bodily resurrection, and the trinity." A second specification under this flm charge is that he made utterances of a like nature as recently as December 31, 1303. with the same Intent to deny the same doctrines as enunciated In the Apostles and Nicene creeds. The second and last charge Is that Dr. Crapsey violated his ordination vows by fa IlinC tO Conform to tho n.trlno .ll.nl. pllne and worship of the Protestant Ep.is- wmi v.nurcn. Under the second aroeeinvaMnn nr th first charge the utterances attributed to him in his December sermons are these: First Jesus was born of parents be longing to the middle class. Second He was born of a simple father and mother. Third He was the son of a carpenter. Fourth Tho fact that "tho m.iv Christians predicted a miraculous birth to unnst was tq De regarded a3 one of the greatest misfortunes which haw v. befallen mankind. The truth or falsltv of tho ohurv doctrine Is not to be argued at the" trial. Tho sole Question Is. whether the thinirs that Dr. Cranov mm aro contrary lo those doctrines, and did he so Intend them to be. It Is understood that Dr. Cranov defense will hold that, under a liberal interpretation of the creed, ho nam nrt contradicted its doctrine. It he IS XOUnd truiltV Of fntontlnnal denial of the tenets, there Is but one punishment dismissal from . the church. The complaint against Dr. Cran.wv Was filed bv 13 minister nf tho Wost- ern New York Diocese. Bishop Walker appointed a special committee of five to Investigate It. The committee re ported, three to two. against taklnr anv further action. However, tho aianHlni. committee of the diocese unanimously de cided to have a trial and drew up the presentment. The bishop approved It. Previous to the opening the members of the court and about 130 other persons attended a communion sorcico in St. James Church. Dr. Crapsey was not pres ent.
