Speaker Cannon a Fossil.

1t is impossible to suppress regret
that Uncle Joe Cannon is neither
broad nor progressive, and that his elec.
tion to the speakership means that con.
gress has so handicapped itself as to
destroy any substantial anticipations
of very useful or progressive legislation.
For the fact is that Uncle Joe is thor
oughly imbued with a sense of the su-
periority of the ways of the old time
politician over those favored by mod
ern craftsmanship. That an idea is
new is apparently enough with him to
receive it's condemnation. Along with
forestry and waterways he puts the seal
of his dlsapproval even on such slight
modification of the sacred Dingley
tariff schedules as is involved in the
proposed removal of the duty on pulp
wood and lumber or the abolition of
the commerce. destroying Philippine
tariff. Instead of leading the Republi-
can majority in such bread, LIBERAL pro-
gressive legislation as would win the
enlightened support of the people, he
would have it adhere to the rotten old
policy OF doing nothing until after
election" that no fresh issues may be
raised. It is unfortunate that either
In Uncle Joe's person or in that of
some one else there are not united with
his many excellent qualities as man
and superior qualifications for the
speakership little more foresighted
statesmanship and modernism. "A pro-.
gressiVe liberal speaker with the in
fluence possessed by Speaker Cannon
would be invaluable to the country.
But apparently there is no such man
in congress. Pioneer Press, Dec. IA.

appalled, at the financial robberies un-
der the guise of law aud in defiance Of

drunkenness and licentionsness, for

both fuel and food. While our homes,
churches and schools are building up,

chief enemies to combat, the saloon,
gambling, and obscene and corrupting
literature
The people are rising up in moral in

enemy, and are resolved upon restrain
ing and dernolishing these evils with
all the power afforded by the strict en-
forcement OF law. Saloons must obey

While his wife and their two little
children, the eldest only six years

THE GENERAL STRIKE ORDER.

President Small of the Commercial Photographers may know what he Is about, but the order yesterday for general strike appears to have been most unstrategic movement, one weak ening to his own cause and impossible of serious injury to the enemy. The fight was already on on the battle ground where it must be won or lost the large cities. Unless the business of the telegraph companies can be ef- fectually tied up there, there cannot be the faintest hope of a winning strike.
 The various local strikes at those central points were as complete as an order from the national organization could make them so that general strike order could not alter the situ- ation in the slightest degree there.
 The extending of the strike over thousands of small offices throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico. is d worse than useless, even a wanton act against the public whom the tele- graph companies may be expected to disregard that they may concentrate their strength at vital points.
 It is estimated that the general strike order has added 10000 men to the ranks of the strikers. Thus these 10000 who were really negligible so far as the supreme contest is concerned are Ia strike fund. but become receivers of strike benefits.
 In some contests of this kind the public has thus been punished to stim- ulate it's sympathy with those who in flict the punishment, but 1t was hardly to be expected that an organization composed of so intelligent men as the telegraphers would reason in this illogical manner. The public will no doubt be brought earnestly to wish an end of the trouble but it is not to be presumed that it will be made anxious to see those who have un- necessarily caused it, win.
 By the public" in this connection we have in mind only those who have been disconnected by the strike order of yesterday. All this is apart from consideration of the merits of the strike which had already been in augurated in the places where the de- cisive battle must be fought. The public no doubt favored the strikers whose grievances were believed to be well grounded. That part of the public will probably continue to sympathize with the strikers to the end, but not so with the innocent third party" which was yesterday needlessly struck.
 At this time and at this distance the general strike order appears to be evil dence of a degree of desperation rather than the exercise of good judgment

AN ATTACK UPON THE PRESI-
 DENT.

The Topeka Capital. a republican porter of the national administration has just made a more serious charge against President Roosevelt than had been preferred against him in the whole course of his official career. The charge is made by the Capital in a discussion of Judge Pritchard. the fed ersl judge, who sought to enjoin the state authorities of North Carolina from enforcing the state laws for the regulations of the railroads of that state.
 The Capital states that Pritchard is a wholly unfit man for that office and that he had been elevated to it by the president, not by accident or mistake but flor political purposes"
 The Kansas City Journal says of this attack upon the president:
 No more serious charge could be made against president of the United States than this. If President Roose- Veit elevated one unit man To the bench for political reasons, the strong presumption would be that he had ele- vated, or will elevate. others for the same reasons. And a man who would so prostitute the bench would be dou- bly untrustworthy in other depart ments of the goveTnmen.
 There have been mild criticisms of judicial appointments as careless and i'll considered; but this is the first flat charge Of deliberate corruption. It Is the more serious because it comes from a Republican paper in a strong Repub- lican territory and hitherto a thick and-thin admirer of the president It comes also from champion of the Strong Federal Hand.

During the war this same steeple was q mark for the Yankee gunners to shoot at. Now it is a lighthouse for all the ships of war and commerce.-Charleston News and Courier.

PROBLEM HAPPILY SOLVED.

The individual police force of Egg Harbor, New Jersey, is in a dilemma.
 He was recently given the custody of misdemeanant, to have and to hold, pending the will of the court. Now the
 prisoner has disappeared and the un- lucky police force is uncertain whether, in his official capacity, he will be held for dereliction of duty. or be indicted for Kidnapping or involuntary hom- icide.
 IL seems that Egg Harbor has not. until recently. felt the need Of lock up fin its midst" Usually it's few and scattered inhabitants are peaceful and law-abiding. It is out of the beaten track of tramps and hoboes, and the frugal savings of the people of the hamlet do not tempt the burglar. Recently two of the trustees of vil- pacity, engaged in a controversy which assumed the gravity of an alteration. One of the combatants was arrested and ordered into durance vile, or, tech nically. the village lookup. to await hearing at a later hour.
 Unfortunately, or fortunately, as the case may be. the village of Egg Harbor is unprovided with a bastile. In his perplexity, and his desire to do his duty as he seen it." the police force had an inspiration. Standing on a rail- way siding was an empty freight car. Into this handy and almost providen- tially offered receptacle the pugnacious church official was bundled, to await his appearance before the Egg Harbor cadi.
 In the fatal two hours which follow ed, something happened. While the police force was partsking of his lunch and the learned justice was porinS over the blue laws to find a statute to fit the case, a wheezy locomotive back ed on to the siding, shunted the tenn porary lookup into a train of freight cars, and wfnsked it up the line. Af- ter more or less delay and much tele- graphing the lookup was located some where in the neghborhood of Mauch Chunk, and the prisoner was presum- ably dead-headed back to Egg Harbor.
 It is apparent that the Egg Harbor police force "builded better than he knew and solved a problem which has vexed the people of larger towns than Egg Harbor. Hereafter. when 1t is necessary to rid a community of an un- desirable citizen. all that will be re- quired will be to lock him in a freight car, and let the railway people do the rest

To the Public

St. Louis, Aug. g, 1907. The following letter explains itself:
 Mir. Hector McRae,
 105 Merchants Exchange,
 St. Louis, Mo. My Dear Sir:-
 am in receipt of your favor of the 9th inst, and beg to say that after carefully reading your communication and consulting with other members of the Board of Directors of the U. S. Copper Co.,, within my reach, it is the sense of those present that we should make a simple denial of any responsibility fer the, adver- tisements which have appeared in the various papers warning the public against you. It was not an official act of the Board but one of its individual mem bers, therefore the U. S. Copper Co.,, is in no wise responsible for the advertise ments of which you make complaint. Inasmuch as it was not an official act of the Directors, ! am sure you will agree with me that we cannot make any public denial of the matter, but would however sug- kest that you can use this letter which will serve your purpose as effectively as by publishing an advertisement in the newspapers.
 Yours very truly.
