ate that there had been undue infiu-
ence In postponing an agreement as to
the measure. Then 1t was that the
speaker woke up. The speaker called
Congressman Dalzell to the chair. and
in dramatic and impassioned speech
defended not only his own integrity
but that of the body over which he pre-
sides. After outlining his personal
er Cannon closed with these brave and
significant words, with reference at the
outset to Mr.. Smiths charge:
THE remark could have had but one
motive and one meaning, and that
meaning is that some one in the house
has sought to affect legislation in the
house as matter of traffic in order to
secure action upon this matter in the
senate. That imputaticn as implied so
far as it reflects on the speaker of this
house and, so far as know or believe,
upon any other member Of this house.
is unworthy of the gentleman who ut
tered 1t and without foundation in fact
IF it was necessary to furnish proof
of this statement, look about me here
on my own side of the house on mem
bers with whom I disagreed touching
the progress of this bill from time to
time. and upon that side of the house.
and pause and invite any member
present who has the least intimation,
knowledge or even belief that the
statement implied in the insinuation
of the gentleman is true to say so.'
Tumultuous applause, In which DEM
ocrats Joined with the republicans, fol-
lowed Speaker Cannon's remarks. and
as the result Of the incident he Is more
firmly established in the confidence
and affection of the house than ever.
Mr.. Cannon did right, though 1t was
an unnecessary action, to take the
floor In his own defense. 1t was a
timely thing to do, just now when
there is altogether too much criticism
of public men and their motives. The
country is filled with cries of graft.
Men are denounced on fimsy pretexts,
simply, 1t would seem, for the purpose
Of starting notoriety. No reputation,
be 1t ever so honorably earned, Is able
to stand against the unfeasoning shaft
Of malice and Islander. Mr. Cannon did
right when he recognized the intent Of
the inuendo and answered 1t sharply.
1t is lesson many should heed.

transaction which is very gratifying

American securities and investments
on the part of French fnanciers. This
tendency has been manifest for some
time and has been quite generally
commented upon, as for number II
years France furnished poor market
for American stocks and bonds. The
pennsylvania railroad loan is said to
be tho first direct American loan
placed in France in recent years. The
increasing internal disorders in Rus
STA following closely upon the war

sons for the preference Of France for
American securities and investments.
