DEATH OF FORMER - JUSTICE WM. R. DAY Was Close Friend and Adviser of Late President McKinley Cleveland, July 9.—William R. Day, former associate justice of the U. & supreme court died early this morning at Mackinac island according to word raceived here by his two sons, Attor- neys William L. and Luther Day. The funeral will be held Thursday with burial at Canton, O. His Life's History The name of William R. Day is in- delibly linked with that of Willlam McKinley. When the latter was elected president, Justice Day was lit- tle known outside of Ohio, where he ‘was born in 1849, He had gwduated from the University of I@chigan, studled law in a law office, taken a few law lectures, and began the prac- tice of his profession. He had been elected judge of the common pleas court in Stark County, Ohio, when 37 years of age and In 1589, President Harrison had offered him the position of judge of the district court for the northern district of Ohio, but il health forbade his accepting. Shortly after, the election in 1897, President McKinley left it be known | that he would make John Sherman, then old and necar the end of his eareer, secrctary of state, and that he would name his fellow townsman, ‘William R. Day, as assistant secre- tary of state. It is doubtful if the new assistant NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, lpnth:mu- branch of the law while a member of the supreme court Justice Day's great learning was recognized and he was selected to deliver some of the court’s most Important deci- slons notably in the U. 8.

CHILDREN’S CLASS IN HAND EMBROIDERY EVERY SATURDAY By The Associated Prers, Des Moines, July 9.-—Governor Al Smith was called the “Goliath of the Wets" in the address of R. A. Walker of Chicago, at the International Christian Endeavor Convention here today. { “The Wets are the Philistines of the present day,” said Mr. Walker. “They have won a temporary victory and they have selected as their big blustering champion, the governor of | New York who is heralded as their | great leader, just as was Goliath, the defiant champion of the Philistines. |; He is challenging the Drys to battle. The modern Philistines apparently have things going their way and many of the Drys are relatively in the same position as King Saul's forces, fearful of results, “Have we Drys so soon forgotten that the 'battie is the Lord's?" Are we standing in fear of the results when we have God and truth on our side? Who is there among the wets that can stand against truth? “'Let ‘Goliath’ Smith beware, Somewhere in the ranks of the Drys there is a David with mighty faith and a trusty sling. In the sling will be placed the stony votes that will hit the Goliath between the eyes— whether that Goliath at the next electing be Al Smith or some other champion of the Wets, Whoever CROWLEY BROS.
