Japanese Transport Adrift,

Chefoo, Dec. 1.-TWO Japanese army
officers. who have arrived here in a
life-boat, report that the transport
Jinsen, which left Dalny for Japan
two days ago with 1000 troops and

ealled to develop quorum, Hon ] Joseph
g. Cannon was reelected speaker by a
rousing majority over Hon. John Sharp

congress started on its long journey
fraught with veal or woe to this puts
SAINT republic
OF all the speakers of the house, Mr..
Speaker Cannon perhaps got along
with the least friction during his first
term in the chair-a result which grew
out of his abundant common sense, his
thorough knowledge of the workings
of congress, his desire to be fair and
his unfailing good temper. The best
wish that one can express for him is
that his second term may be as pleas
mt and successful as his first. And
the same prayer would be appropriate
for John Sharp Williams, Democratic
leader. Bon voyage to both and to the
whole housed In the words Of Tiny
Fin, God bless us every one!"

Wanted-Orators.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
"This is a strange world, my mas
ters." A Macedonian cry comes up
from Massachusetts for more orators.
Only think of that! Surely the times
are sadly out of joint when the old
Bay State finds itself short on CAB
and jawsmiths. There hasn't been any
thing quite so amazing since the stars
fell. But there can be no question
about it. The supply of Massachusetts
orators is not adequate to the demand.
The Gardner (Mass.) News says:
With the oratory let loose upon us dur
ing the late campaign as a criterion, the
conviction is forced that we need to give
some attention to rearing up in our town
young men who can present their thoughts
before an audience in correct and convinc-
ing English. Our educational officials
might to good purpose open up the larger
rooms in one or more Of the towns public
schools during one night in the week for
the Improvement of public speaking, pub
lie debate and discussion of public ques-
tons. The dearth of good local speakers
in the stirring political times just ended
was lamentably apparent.
Commenting upon that and indorsing
it, the Union of Springfield, Mass, de-
livers itself Of these sage remarks:
Our contemporary makes an excellent
suggestion. While 1t Is largely true, as
some one has said, that public speakers
are born, not made. it is not entirely
true. 1t is possible to develop an orator
out of promising raw material just as it
Is possible to develop man who attains
proficiency in other lines by training and
practice. Many a man has 1t in him to
| speak well in public, but he doubts him
self. The late Senator Hanna had never
supposed he could make speech until
| the campaign Of 1900, when an uncon-
trollable impulse seized him to go after
Senator Pettigrew's scalp. To his sur
prise and the surprise of his friends, he
found that he was quite an orator. He
| had the faculty of saying things pointed
ly, and the very earnestness of his man
ner made 1t natural for him to put the
| right emphasis on his words. He actually
acquired certain amount Of eloquence.
and he made several speeches in the sem
ate, particularly one in answer to a slur
Of Senator Wellington on the name of
Mckinley, which was commented on at
the time as being quite remarkable for its
choice of words and force of expression.
Another good example of the develop
ment of latent oratorical powers Is found
In William r. Hearst. Strange as it may
seem, Hearst is very diffident, although
his publications tend to convey anything
but that impression of the man. At Har-
ward he was almost bashful, and since he
has become publisher of q chain of yell
low newspapers he has failed to become
a man of the world in the sense that he is
at ease In company. When he accepted
the nomination for mayor of New York
he went upon the platforms ana read his
speeches in hating manner. He was re-
ceived with wild applause by the audi
nm AL ft,oS NJ cal
reliance that finally resulted in very good
speeches.

Senator and ex-Easy Boss Thomas
Collier Platt, having made Ex-Governor
B. B. Odell, seems to have become dis
gusted with his own handiwork The
trouble was that Benjamin concluded
that he was greater than his creator, a
thing unthinkable to Senator Plat.
Now he proposes to even up things
with Odell by driving him out of the
craftsmanship of the Republican state
committee. Odell kicks. It's lovely
fight as it stands. May they both lose!

The Growing Deficit.

| Inc deficit continues to grow. The
Republican doctors are busy prescrib-
| ing Tor Uncle Sam, but the trouble is
that no two of them suggest the same
remedy for his sad case of anaemia.
Each of the eminent physicians seems
bent on having his own particular dope
| used on the patient. DIR. General Sen
| ator Dick of Ohio, who was an under
study for Senator Mark Hanna, last
| summer prescribed re-establishing of
the spanish war stamp taxes, which
suggestion scared every Republican in
congress from a close district within
an inch Of his life, and DR.. Dicks rec
ommendation was promptly turned
down. Then came DR.. McCleary of
minnesota with a suggestion that q
tariff tax of cents pound on coffee
would be the proper caper. Republican
statesmen from close districts shouted
with one accord to him, go away
back and sit down." Then Speaker
Cannon declared in favor of economy
as a means of curing the deficiency,
which made the cold chilIs run up aud
down the spinal column of every graft
er in the land Word went from the
White House, SO it is said, to "cut ex-
penses to the bone" When Secretary
Taft estimated the war department
expenses ten millions lower than this
year it looked for little while like
economy, but only for little while, for
now comes Postmaster General Cortel-
you and asks for an increase Of thir-
teen millions for his department. So
it appears that Republican economy is
only IAN iridescent dream" Truth to
tell, Republicans cannot economic. No
matter what Speaker Cannon says, ap-
preparations this winter will be larger
than last winter.

in order to secure free hides. The SEN
ator is now evidently in the kindergar-
ten class of tariff revisionists, but he
will probably grow in grace There's
lot of room for it in his case. At the
present time he is in the same frame of
mind as the man who was willing to
sacrifice all his wife's relations in war.
But driven by both parties" in Mas
sachusetts he may yet be leader in
the cause of tariff revision. Of course
that is long distance hope, but not too
fanciful for entertainment.
Governor Douglas, however, seems to
entertain doubts as to securing relief
through Republicans. This is indicat-
ed by the fact that dispatches an
nounce that he proposes to run against
Judge Lowering for congress. If so.
there will certainly be something doing
in that district.
For awhile it was assumed that the
demand for immediate tariff revision
and genuine reciprocity could be stop
ped by advocating maximum and
minimum tariff, but Senator Aldrich
let the cat cut of that bag by saying
that he was in favor of "a maximum
and minimum tariff-with the Dingley
rates as the minimum! When they
read that tariff revisionists had to
pinch themselves to see if they were
awake. Recognizing the fact that SEN
ator Aldrich is the Republican car Of
the senate, they inevitably concluded
that if his maximum and minimum is
the measure of Republican relief their
second condition would be worse than
the first and that to follow him would
be the old and condemned performance

Roosevelt Professorship.

The latest illustration of the great
truth uttered by John Milton, peace
hath her victories no less renowned
than war;" is the proposal to establish
q Roosevelt professorship of Ameri-
can history and institutions in the Uni
versity of Berlin" James Speyer of
New York is to furnish $4,000 to en-
dow it, and, having paid for it, he, of
course, ought to have the right to be-
stow upon it a name, which he has
done by calling it after his friend and
kinsman, Theodore Roosevelt, president
Of the United States. Nobody can rea-
sonably find fault with him for so do
ing. When Colonel Roosevelt was
charging the Spaniards at the head of
his rough riders he little thought that
he would figure more largely in his
tory as a man of peace than as man
Of war, but such is the truth neverthe-
less, and it may turn out-who knows?
that this Theodore Roosevelt chair of
history in the University of Berlin may
prove in his case surer and longer
distance transmitter of renown than
his achievements as soldier or as a
statesman, for Berlin university is
quite likely to be living, potent insti-
tuition when the Spanish war and the
treaty of Portsmouth are forgotten ut
terly. Nor will Colonel Roosevelt de-
spise this testimonial of his friend and
kinsman. He has good examples on
both sides of the Atlantic Of what may
be called incidental honors. Napoleon
had the precedence to know that his
fame would rest largely on his civic
performances, for he said, 81 shall de-
scend to posterity with my code in
my hand" and he was correct. No
doubt that on the 4th day of March,
1909, Thomas Jefferson's friends and
enemies would have agreed on the
proposition that his career was ended
Perhaps he thought so himself, but
nevertheless and Notwithstanding there
was then ahead of him one of his most
glorious achievements-the founding Of
the University of Virginia. So it may
be with Theodore Roosevelt.

Things are not always what they
seem. Appearances are often decep-
tive. Physiognomy cannot be relied on
implicitly at all times. These PROPOSE
lions are illustrated and substantiated
by the fact that youth in Illinois on
matrimony bent recently mistook Mr..
Speaker Cannon for Methodist min
lister and wanted Uncle Joe to perform
the marriage ceremony for him. No;
doubt the speaker would have per
formed it with grace and sladnass had
he been authorized, but he was COM
PEELED to decline with regrets.
