Startling Prediction.
TAKES RAP At THE NORTH
NEGROES AS THEY SEE RE.
CARELESS OF WHAT THE VAN
KEGS MAY SAY.

Augusta, Ca, Oct. S.-Senator Ben
jamin F. Tillman in a characteristic
speech to 1000 persons here declared
that the south is on the verge of race
war. His remarks were heartily
cheered. Il make the prediction" he

fear less than five, there will be an
immense number of bloody race riots
north and south, beside which the At
lanta riot will pale into insignif

men of the south are united and de
termined to maintain white suprerl
acy. He declared the only place rT
depraved negroes was among north
erners, whose scheme of reconstruc
ton produced them, adding that if all
were shot like wild beasts the country
would be better off. He said that the
white men of the south should 60

right in this matter, regardless .tof
all the Yankees between Cape Cod
and hell"

WATSON won HIS WAY ON MERIT ALONE
Political Correspondent Board "canon Special Tells How the
Sixth District Congressman Has Risen Place Of Prominence
in National House-Cose Speaker Be-
cause He Has Done Things.

The correspondent of the st. Louis
Globe Democrat, on board the Can
non Special" writes in an interesting
manner to his paper of Congressman
James E. Watson. He says in part:
Who is Jim Watson?" is the dues-
ton asked almost everywhere we go
by folk who do not read the papers
and who are unfamiliar with the life
and public service of the man who is
perhaps, today closer to Mr.. Joseph
c. Cannon than any other man in the
house of representatives. No mem
Der of congress asks such question,
nor has any member of congress been
in Washington two days without find
ing out just who Jim Watson is and
also what his duties are. Some of
them want to know how Watson be
came the popular favorite of the
most powerful man under the govern
ment but none who learn to know
him Intimately and at the same time
discover the qualities in men which
most recommend them to the speaker
wonder why it is that Jim Watson
"has the speaker hypnotized," as
some of the envious like to put it.
1.-The avowed affection between
Watson and Mr.. Cannon was plant
of slow growth. 1t all came about in
the most natural way imaginable.
The more you look into all things
of that sort the more convinced you
become that no accident brings them
about, but that they follow well-es-
tablished laws of circumstance and
environment. The more you know
about the relations of the two men
and the part which each performs in
connection with his public service,
the more you are convinced that Wat
son has won his way with the hard
headed, practical, old legislator
through merit. The preference which
the speaker has shown for the youn-
ger man is the preference of demon
strated merit.
Their relation is an entirely diff
ferent one from that of any other
man of whom Mr.. Cannon is fond.
Cannon's Speaking Companion.
Every place the speaker has gone
during this congressional campaign
Watson has been with him. The same
thing was true during the campaign
two years ago. 1t is not the result of
accident, nor is it due to any fore
sight or exercise of the privilege of
selection by the Republican congress
sional committee. Mr.. Watson is cam
paigning with the speaker because
Mr.. Cannon requested it.
You can see that Mr. Cannon is
genuinely fond of the Indiana states
man by the way he treats him, and
even by the way he looks at the
younger man. The affection between
the two seems almost filial, and l be-
lieve if the speaker really thought

With Exception of Santa CIa-
"a, all Disturbances in Gu
ba Are at an End.
MORE TROOPS LANDING
GOVERNOR TAFT AND ASSIST
ANT SECRETARY BACON HAVE
TAKEN UP THEIR RESIDENCE
IN THE PALACE.

havana, Oct o.-Ine reports recelv-
show that the pacification of Cuba is
practically complete, with the excep-
ton OF the province of Santa Clara,
where matters are rapidly nearing a
settlement. The only trouble known
to exist is at Alquizar, province of Ha-
vana, where the Liberals and Moder-
ates are about equally divided and irri-
tation has been caused by the rein
statement of a Liberal mayor. The
disquieting condition at AlquiZar, how
ever, has been caused by the exuber-
ance of the more reckless of the dis
banded insurgents, and it is believed
that the 80 rural guards there will be
able to keep the peace. The disturb
ance at Guines has been suppressed.
The disorderly former insurgents left
the town and the marines sent there
report that the Liberals celebration of
their victory passed off without any
further disorder. None of the men cut
with machetes was seriously injured
A closer examination of the rifles
surrendered by the insurgents shows
that very few OF them are fit for any
thing but the scrap heap
Governor Taft and Assistant Secre-
tary of State Bacon took up their resi-
dence at the palace. Mr.. Taft was
busily engaged with examining the re-
ports of the heads of departments on
the first weeks work under the provi-
sional government.

OILING OF STREETS.

Richmond is not the only city that
is witnessing an uprising upon the
part of some of its residents on ac
count of the crude oil experiment
Witness the following from the
Springfield, o., Sun of Saturday:
If anybody attempts to put any
more crude oil on South Fountain
avenue there will be an Injunction
suit, 'or else We'll get the women
out"
About twenty property owners OF
the street held a small sized indig
nation meeting at the room of the
Commercial club last night. They de
been gold bricked. They differed
about the next best thing to do.
1t developed that there is strong
sentiment in favor of kicking out OF
the oiling contract and putting down
an asphalt street. A vote was taken
on this proposition and it resulted
IL to 9 in favor of asphalt The nine
showed that they were pretty well
convinced that asphalt was a need
less expense.
My wife is likely to go back to
Indiana if any more oil goes on the
street" said the chairman of the
meeting. I'VE are liable to lose our
dogs if it is oiled again" said some
body else.
1t developed that there were about
half the property owners who think
that the oiled streets will be all
right and entirely satisfactory If it
is given a fair trial. The other half
are so disguised with it that they
want to cancel their contract if pos
sible and pave the street with as
phalt as soon as it can be done. 1t
was stated that asphalt would cost
in the neighborhood of 1910 front
foot.

that Watson had done anything that
he should not do, the speaker would
not hesitate to scold him just as he
would young and erring son.
Mr. Cannon is himself one of the
most temperate men | ever met. No
man has better control over himself
While he has occasional outbursts of
indignation, when you get to known
him well you are convinced that he
believes the occasion warrants it and
the outbursts are about the way to
impress his absolute earnestness.
The continual travelling and speech
making day after day, is wearing on
men of the strongest constitutions.
Nothing could be devised to better
illustrate the physical soundness and
wonderful vitality of the speaker
of the house than the present tour on
which he is engaged The younger
men who have accompanied him COM
plain often and again of the fatigues
of the journey but he never The eli
mate changes and the ever-varying
fare has had more or less effect on
every man in the party except Mr..
Cannon. Watson felt it in the first
week and developed signs of n bad
stomach. One day Mr.. Cannon watch
ed him as he ate and frowned with
signs of disapproval. The speaker
was himself engaged in disposing of
bowl of hot water. some celery and
dry toast. Watson, like the rest of us
was not missing course in the usu-
al Pullman luncheon. Mr.. Cannon
looked at Watson with genuine affec-
ton and then with a show of dis
approval he turned to me and said:
1.-The finest fellow in the world, and
one of the most promising men in
public life, but, by Jove Jim hasn't
got lick of sense when it comes to
taking care of his belly
Watson Successor of Hemenway.
Jim Hemenway used to be the fav-
orite and close friend and adviser of
Mr.. Cannon in the house and that is
why, when Mr.. Cannon got to be the
speaker, he made Hemenway chair
man of the appropriations committee
and gave him such prominence that
his task of succeeding Senator Fair
banks in the senate was an easy one.
All the time that Hemenway and Can
non were close friends, Watson and
Hemenway were comrades living at
the same hotel or apartment house or,
if the family of either was absent dur
ing the session, in the same apart
ments Cannon noticed the young
legislator and took the interest which
he takes in every young congressman
who shows promise of developing in
to a useful part of the house organi-
cation.
1t is proverbia1 in the national call-
tai that men serving their first terms
in the congress always used to go to

Mr.. Cannon, before he became speak
er, for advice and suggestion. Payne
and Dalzell and Hepburn are all old
stagers in the house, and men of ripe
wisdom and experience. But no set
of men ever remained in public life
who had less of the spirit of encourag-
ing their juniors than this coterie
which in derision is often called the
s4dowagers.' Every young man who
sought to advance his knowledge of
general legislation and put himself in
touch with what the leaders of his
party 'Aere doing, went to Mr.. Can
non. That's what made him speaker
of the house of representatives. When
it came time for the election of a sue
cessor to Speaker Henderson the
younger set of men in the house had
already an acknowledged leader in
Mr.. Cannon. They had followed him
for months and years and the unanim
ity with which they turned to him was
sufficient indication of this. He was
chosen almost without a contest. Wat
son was among the men who turned
to Cannon and, through his associa-
ton with Hemenway, it naturally
came about that small tasks in con-
nection with the handling of the Re.
publican majority were intrusted to
him. He discharged these tasks not
only with enthusiasm, but with the
judgment and discretion which might
have been expected from man many
years his senior. OF these things
Mr.. Cannon made mental note. 1t
was noticed that when he succeeded
to the speakership he gathered about
him the element of young men who
had SO long followed his leadership
and with whom he had thus become
intimately acquainted.
Watson Gets Tawney's Place.
Tawney went to the head of the
committee on appropriations, al
though it was well known that Taw-
ney has long enjoyed-or rather been
Indifferent to-tae illy-veiled dislike
of Mr.. Payne, the floor leader of the
house. Tawney had been the Repub-
lican whip" of the house for years
Naturally enough, Mr.. Cannon turned
to Mr.. Watson as his natural success
Or. Tested in the smaller things of
handling the Republican majority
Watson had been established as safe,
conservative and reliable. Mr.. Can
non made him the whip
Time and again the speaker has
been obliged to place his interests in
the hands of Watson and to risk his
supremacy in the house on the judg-
ment of the party whip Not once
has he failed Mr.. Cannon, and what
could be more natural than that they
should become firm personal friends
we'll allies in tho hauco
cation and now comrades in a joint
speech-making tour of the congress
sional districts of the country?''
