Gage Defends Civil Service Reform in Treasury Debate
New York secretary of the Treasury Gage answers National Civil Service Reform League criticism of President’s civil service policy. He argues most collectors follow the law, notes possible exceptions, cites court support for compliance, and discusses appointments made since the war switch. The exchange involves McAneny, Dutand, and the issue of merit versus political influence in office appointments.

Criticise Dr Boyd at Colored Youth convention
In Detroit a large audience of about 125 educators of colored youth gathered for the American Association of Educators of Colored Youth. Reverend W S Hraddan urged the committee on resolutions to consider the remarks of Reverend W S Boyd of St Louis. Boyd made provocative statements defending lynching and asking if Christ would resent southern outrages on a black mother or daughter. The remark drew objections from Reverend Bradden and prompted a partial defense, followed by Bishop Alexander Walters of Jersey City noting it did not reflect all Christian Endeavorers. The chairman closed the incident, while Walters offered his own views later in the day.
