TWO Humorists.

It's far cry from New York to Mis-
sissippi, and vet those two states, one
in the extreme north and the other in
the extreme south of 1.-THE United
States proper" God save the mark
are connected together by bond of
sympathy in possessing the two most
famous humorists in the land, Senator
Chauncey Mitchell Depew and Private
John NJ Allen, ex-representative in
congress. Recent developments IN the
nasty Equitable Insurance company
middle will perhaps place a damper
on the enthusiasm of the New York
bumorist for some time to come. A
salary or retainer or something of the
sort has just been lost to him by the
cruel conduct of Mr. Paul Morton, the
new head of the Equitable, and there
is a rumor that he is to be sued for a
quarter of d million. Therefore he will
probably cease to joke for a few days
and should the suit go against him he
may quit adding TO the gayety of ma
tons for good and all
Not so with Private John, however.
Conditions are favorable for hilarity on
the part of the ilIustrious Mississippian.
Not long since was down south on a
lecture tour and passed through Johns
thousand acre cotton patch! Only think
of that. with cotton at IL cents and
still soaring. Who with such a posses
sion as that would not be in frame
of mind to joke? But that's not all, for
as Louisiana exposition commissioner
John still draws a congressman sala
ry and expenses. Happy john

Mr.. Sneaker Cannon.

l speak of Mr.. Speaker Cannon as
presidential probability rather than as
presidential possibility. This, of
course, has reference to the nominal
ton and not to the election, for the way
things are running now the chances are
that the Democrats, and not the Repub-
leans, viii elect the the next president
1t is strange that in all the jabber
about whom the Republicans will nom
mate so little is said about Uncle
Joe. It's ten to one shot that the
publican national convention. If so,
why not nominate Uncle Joe? From
the stand pat viewpoint he is sound on
the goose. He more than any other
man caused President Roosevelt and
Secretary Taft to take water on the
the cheapest when purchasing ships
and materials for the construction of
the Panama canal. Honor should be
bestowed where honor is due, and the
lions share of the honor, from a stand
pat view, belongs to the speaker. In
his blunt, vigorous way he blurted out
the stand pat gospel at the critical mo-
ment and aroused such a storm OF
stand pat protest that the president and
his war secretary concluded to refer
the whole matter to congress, and such
a congress-a two to one Republican
majority in both branches, with Mr.
Speaker Cannon sitting on the lid in the
bills must originate. What more could
the stand patters desire? Who said the
house has lost its power when the
speaker can turn trick like that? So,
unless the stand patters are destitute of
gratitude, they will be much inclined
to rally round the sage of Danville.
He must be in great glee at the APP
pointment of Hon. Elihu Root as sec
rotary of state, for he will make the
third active presidential candidate in
President Roosevelt's official family

chances are that by their chickering's,
ambitions and jealousies they will
make his life so miserable that be will

the more cabinet presidential candi-
dates there are the better will Uncle

An ASTOUNDING Canal Opinion.

A recent dispatch from Council
Bluffs, Ia, conveys melancholy news
to the American people who are to pay
the fiddler Hon. J. D. Yeomans of that
city, ten years a member of the inter
state commerce commission, but no
longer connected with that august
body, in an interview relieved his mind
by these words
Wallace was right when he resigned as
chief engineer of the Panama canal com
mission.
Wallace made fool Of himself trying
to tell why. All he should have said was,

minute. I did not come to this world to

The Panama canal is the biggest hum
bug of the age. 1 have no hesitancy in
saying that in my opinion there will new
er be a canal built there. No important
American engineer who was not paid for
1t ever hazarded the opinion that there
would be q canal there. The last monthly
report of work done shows that it will
take ITO years to finish it The weeds
grow in one end faster than they carry
the dirt out of the other.
No engineer has ever found rock or
clay bed in that celebrated Cuiebra cut,
where the United States has done the most
of its work, There has been cut of $50
feet there, and thirty inches of rain falls
in thirty hours down those banks. Does
any one suppose that the alluvial soil
won't wash down in this TO make a mud
canal too thick for a government dredge

~ junior United States senator
from Ohio, has jumped to the
center of the stage and right
into the limelght. No doubt the stand
patters pulled the strings which caused
the general-senator tomake the leap. He
boldly says: Here am with a remedy
for the deficit Restore the internal rev
enue tax system in vogue during the
Spanish American war and all will be
well.' So far as | ana concerned from
political standpoint nothing would
please me better than to see a Repub-
lican congress adopt General Senator
Dicks plan, for if it does adopt it the
next house of representatives at WASH
ington viii surely be Democratic.
Likewise the president and house elect
ed III 1908
The Washington Post, Independent,
but a consistent protection advocate,
has sense enough to scent danger 1t
doesn't like Dicks plan a little bit. In
an editorial entitled s'War Taxes In
Time of Peace it says
Senator Dick of Ohio has a remedy for
the treasury deficit. and a very efrectual
one. He would reimpose the Spanish war
taxes on numerous articles There is no
difficulty in understanding the senator's
position. 1t is perfectly clear. The pres
en- extortionate tariff rates are to be
maintained. and to preserve them the peo-
pie are to be oppressed with war taxes in
times of profound peace. Can it be that
Senator Dick has been studying English
history and is fascinated with Went
wortls policy of Thorough.
Senator Ellxins foresaw the dilemma that
his party is confronted with when the
war taxes were repealed, and he pleaded
with his colleagues to retain some of
them. Had his advice been taken there
would have been no deficit but war
taxes would have been heavy load for
the G. O. p. to tote and as embarrassing
in a political sense as the deficit is in d
financial sense.
No doubt every stand patter would be
glad to settle the question on the Dick
PLAN Would the president stand it2 We
know that some thousands of Massachu-
it, We know that Governor Cummins
would become very active. We know that
Mr.. Tawney would seriously object to it.
Senator Dick and those who think as he
does and that includes all the stand pat
tiers, will not allow the present tariff to be
touched, and the war taxes he would re-
impose are all internal. This blessed tar
if that is become so holy enables our
manufacturers to monopolize the home
market, which takes at extortionate prices
SO per cent of their goods. The other /
per cent is dumped into neutral markets
and sold for what the wares will fetch.
And yet the public patience has been

Senator Chauneey Mitchell Depew
says, I'VE must inaugurate a training
school for future consular and diplo-
matte employees of the United States, Z
aud then goes on to argue for life
tenure and higher salaries. But why
have training school for consuls and
diplomats and have none for repre-
sentatives and senators in congress,
cabinet officers and federal judges, vice
presidents and presidents? The body
of the American people are opposed to
life tenure and to official classes. The
senator names certain capable minis
tiers abroad that we have had but,
strange to say, the names of Benjamin.
Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and John
Quincy Adams are not on his list.

Civil Pensions.

The Washington Post is urging edi-
torially a pension system for civil en-
ployees of the government. 1t cites
the retirement of army and navy Of
ficers on three-fourths pay and the re-
tirement of federal judges on full pay
as preceaents, but they are bad prece-
dents and should never have been es-
tablished. There has never yet been
suggested a valid argument why civil
employees should be pensioned They
are paid higher wages than the average
for like work the country over, and
there are just as good reasons for a
general old age pension as there are for
pensioning them.

Once more is Illustrated the truth of

onstrator this time. 1t Is strange
that the accursed greed for Ill gotten

position be now occupies position
worse than death. Twenty-Five years

At Last.
It will be remembered that the Re-
publican national platform OF 1904
contained this mendacous sentence:
"A Republican tariff is always fol
lowed by business prosperity. 4 Demo-
cratic tariff by adversely" For saying
that that statement was a lie was
hauled over the Goals by Mr.. Secre-
tary Shaw in his speeches in and about
st. Louis, and the ST. Louis Globe
Democrat jumped on me with both
feet, and, having no argument to urge,
it contented itself with personal abuse
Governor Shaw, in order to bolster up
the false platform declaration, under
took to make it appear that the panic
of 1857 was produced by the Walker
Democratic tariff of 1916 and the
amendments thereto of March 8, 1857,
and, as the Globe-Democrat published
his erroneous statements and fimsy
logic with Communications, it stood by
consenting. But the whirligig of time
brings its own revenges. There is no
general election pending now; hence
there is no pressing necessity for
warping, twisting and distorting the
facts Of history in order TO deceive the
unwary voter into supporting Repub-
lican candidates and policies Conse-
duently in an elaborate editorial on re-
cent bank failures the Globe-D Democrat
says, inter ALA: THE wild specula-
ton in western lands and in the con-
struction of railways beyond the inn
mediate needs of the country, which
We're the chief causes of the wreck in
1857. is conspieuously absent now"
The chief causesi That's a confession
on the part of the Globe-Democrat
which should do it good. But if the
obe-Demoerat is right now as to the
chief causes of the panic of 1857, what
about those great campaign speeches
of Mr.. Secretary Shaw in 1904 in which
he boldly asserted that the wicked
Democratic Walker tariff of 1916 was
the great and only cause of that wide
spread disaster? Ought he not to re-
wise those oracular utterances, which
the Globe Democrat published with
glazing headlines and with a tremen-
dous flourish of trumpets. Isn't it high
time for the secretary to do a little
confessing himself? Will he do it,?
Not much, and, notwithstanding the
above quoted sentence from the Globe
Democrat, when the Republicans find
themselves. hard pressed on the tariff
they will be busy quoting the old plat
form fable Habit is very strong
strong sometimes as nature. Having
formally and solemnly declared in
their platform practically that the
panic of 1857 was produced by the
Democratic tariff of 1916, the Repub-
licans are in the woeful plight of the
man who rashly declared his horse was
seventeen feet high and then erro-
neously concluded that he ought to
stick to that declaration. So they will
go on in the old way, telling the old
story and denying the truth.
