WELCOME TO CANNON.
enthusiastic Greeting to Uncle Joe at
Nashville. Ind.

RUSHVILLE, Ind, August S.-Though
yesterday was the homecoming day of for
mer citizens of Rush county, Speaker Jo-
seph G. Cannon easily carried off the hon
ors of the occasion, though he is not nor
pretends to be a former citizen of the coun-
ty. Indeed. he was the chief attraction and
advertised the one real big show of
the day. His picture was in store windows
and street cars, and his name was painted
on fence rails and on sidewalks and on
long streamers stretched across the prin-
cipa' streets.
Representative Watson arranged to give
the Speaker a grand sendoff, and he sue
ceeded even better than he had hoped
When Uncle Joe was introduced to the
large audience the woods fairly rang with
the cheers. and the demonstration was 80
pronounced and SO prolonged that the
Speaker blushed in spite of efforts TO ap-
pear at ease.
He came very going off into politics
once in while, but it was to be a nom
partisan affair. and he kept away from the
prohibited partisan talk well Gould
have been expected. His theme was Pa
triotism and Prosperity" with enough
anecdotes and "reminiscences sandwiched
in to make ii all very interesting to the old
settlers. He did take a stand against gov
eminent ownership of railroads, however,
but 1t was only during a DEPRESSION from
the main theme
eminent of the United States the gov
eminent of any state owning the railroads, -
said he. In support of his assertion that
the idea is bad one, he declared that in
Germany, where 30 per cent of the railroads
are owned by the government, the cost
of the carriage of the products OF agricul-
ture and industry Is four times as much
as in the United States. 1.-The history of
government ownership of railroads., he
said, sis a history of failure"
He didn't mention the words protective
tariff but he declared very forcibly that the
present prosperity of the country would
continue as long as present policies" are
continued.
Uncle Joe took no stock in the cry that
the rich are growing richer and the poor
poorer He tramped all over pessimists and
knockers, and in closing said:
"Tm going to keep my face toward the
east. You'll never find me down among
the pessimists, prophesying damnation to
the human race"

TRYING OUT THE CONNECTICUT
Government-Built Battleship Speed
ing on Rockland Course.

ROCkLAND, Me-, August S.-The battle
snip Connecticut yesterday began the trials
which will help to show if the first battle
ship of the first class built by the govern
ment instead of by contractors is the equal

Der 10, 1908, attained speed of 1884 knots
| an hour on her best mile, while the average
of her five best runs was 1851 knots per

The Louisiana had to make 119 revolutions
or her screws a minute to maintain her
required speed of Is knots The maximum
number of revolutions was 20. The Con-
nectcut on an hours at full speed on
the trip from Hampton roads developed
12o revolutions per minute The propellers
had not been standardized, however.
AS Rear Admiral Evans. who is aboard to
York as soon possible, announcement
was made that. contrary to the usual Gus
tom the batteshp will, If weather condi-
lions permit, start Immediately after the
trial on her four hours endurance run to
sea and continue direct to New York. The
Connecticut is in command of Capt. Hugo
Osterhaus, formerly president of the trial
board. Lieut. G. c. Day is navigating off,
Ger and Lieut.. Commander r. B. Higgins
