Worrying About What VIII
Happen in Year 1908.
Full Of Same Old heterodox No.
tions and Ideas, Says Cannon.
The Present Needs Attention and Eltlrs Mll
Take Care Of Itself, Ae. A1ds.

Chicago. Sept. 14.-Speaker Joseph G.
Cannon made short speech before the
Republican state conmtttee which met
here yesterday. The reform forces, to
whom the Speaker gavei most OF his at
tention. were classified by him as the
kickers." He said that inasmuch as
their object seemed ITO be the immedi-
ate reformation of the entire world.
they were hopelessly. beyond argument.
and therefore the best course for a SEN
sible man to pursue with regard to
them was to leave them alone.''
This is mighty Important cam
paign for the Repubdican party" con-
tinued the Speaker, and we've got
enough to take up all our lattention
with things that are going to happen
right now. without bothering about
things that can't be mended or with
things that are going to happen two
years from now.
"Some people are a great deal both
cred about what is going to happen in
1908. Mr.. Bryan is bothered. He was
met the other day in New York by
great crowd Of 10000 people, who came
together to greet him on his return
from Europe.
Now Mr. Bryan had been travelling,
and we supposed he had been informing
himself. We expected that he'd come
back home as man who had gained
knowledge from seeing different men
and countries. but he no sooner makes
a speech than we find him full of the
same old heterodox notions and ideas.
"3ut as soon as Mr.. Bryan discovers
that these ideas are not altogether
popular with his party, then he begins
to go easy on them. Now he says that
Of course he's right, but that neverthe-
less he will accept nomination from
the Democratic party even if it does
not adopt his ideas. But he tells them
he's right and they'll come to it in the
future.
"Now we've better things to do than
to bother about what'srgoing to hap
pen two years from now. Those things
will take care Of themselves when the
time comes What the Republican
party has to do is to take care of the
things that are UP now and that's what

it was DETECTED, inflicting only a su-
perfci;.l wound.
After the affair was over Brown went
to the office of DR.. Harry X. Stinson,
who dressed his wounds. He gave the
doctor an account of the affair and the
latter notified the police. Brown also
turned the revolver with which he had
done the shooting over to DR.. Stinson.
The latter at once notified the authori-
ties.
A warrant was issued by Trial Jus
tice Emery for the arrest of Morrill, and
Deputy Sheriff Bowler started out to
search for him. The police of neighbor-

Car---Me!hod Audaeious.

Chicago, Sept. 1.-THE Chronicle to-
day says: Five members of gang of
forgers were arrested last night by city
detectives. The utmost secrecy was
maintained by the police regarding the
arrests. 1t is said that thousands of
dollars We're secured by the swindiers
and many prominent banks are losers.
The passing of the forged paper be-
came so easy, it is said. that they be-
came reckless and this led to their ar
rest. All were stylishly dressed. They
would drive up to 4 bank in a large
touring car and one of the number
would enter. He would present a check
to the teller and so perfect was the sig
nature that the money was quickly
forthcoming.
In several cases when the swindler
was questioned one of his companions
would identify him. AT one bank the
forgers secured $780, No trouble was
experienced and other banking firms
were swindled in similar manner.
