"Unole joe Cannon as cen by Fitch
and McCutcheon

| George Fitch writes very amusing
character sketch of Uncle Joe" Can
non in this months American Maya
zine The cartoons accompanying the
article are by McCutcheon Mr.. Fitch
says. in part:
"Mr. Cannon is a man of simple
tastes. He does not care to have frills
on the national Capitol, and whenever
he can use plain, lowly crossword in
place Of an embroidered bit of eloquence
he is sure to do so. His amusements
are few. He loves to raise the tariff in
the afternoon and to raise the ante in
the evening in pleasant little semi
occasional game between friends. In
the winter he fuses with the battle
ships and public buildings and in the
summer he generally puts on his politi-
cal overalls and thinkers around the Yer
million County Republican machine a
little, putting in new cog wheel here
and there. His life is regular and
almost monotonous. He is a creature
of habit. Every other year he runs for
Congress. In the off year he runs for
Speaker of the House. Every four
years he declines the vice presidency.
Every ten years he buys new bank.
Each fall he puts on new suit of
black clothes and hat with an extra
rakish brim, adjusts his cigar at an
oyerbearing angle and goes to Wash
ington, where he runs the nation on
the high speed all winter and listens
to the pleas of Congressman who want
committees, appropriations, bills, re-
FORMS appointments and amusement.
On these occasions the applicant
watches the Speakers cigar feverishly.,
If it remains pointed aloft, all is we'll.
If it shifts and points downward like a
Roman Emperor's thumb, all is lost
The favor can't be granted. One of the
reasons why Cannon can refuse so many
favors and still retain so many friends
is because he does not keep an appli-
cant dangling. He tells him no at
once and there is no such thing as a
retrial or an appeal"

The whole anti-tariff agitation has

Circuit Court.

Judge Miner has been busy with
chancery matters for number of
days and part of the cases have
been warmly contested.
VIM. Seigel, who plead guilty at
the opening of court to the charge of
having his saloon open on Sunday,
was fined $50 and $40 costs. If all
the saloonists in the country who
violate the law as Seigel did, paid
the same fine the county treasurer
would have money to loan for the
benefit of the taxpayers.
A new trial was granted in the case
of the Duquesne National Bank VS..
G. B. Garrison.
The lot line case of w. F. Let's VS..
Frank Russell was decided in favor
of Mr.. Let's.
The case of DR.. Robb, of Flushing,
VS.. Dr. Austin, of Laingsburg, was
heard and taken under advisement by
the court. This is a case in which
the complainant wishes an order re-
straining the defendant from prac-
ticing as physician in or about
Laingsburg.
Motion for new trial in the case
of the Dreuke Co., VS.. Louis Sander
hoff was heard but no decision given
Y In the case of John Sutton VS.. John
Dillon, Judge Miner set aside the
proceedings in a foreclosure sale
held some time ago. 1t was shown
that Suttpn's house was sold on a
mortgage without his knowing that
proceedings were pending. BY the
order of the court he can have the
property transferred to himself by
payment of $165, less the costs in

Old King Alcohol and n Slaves Of
tho Present Day.

An original poem recited by the au.
thor, Mrs. Phebe Grant Welter, at the
w. c. Il. U.~~Thanksgiving meeting
held at the M. E. church, Nov, %, 1907.
Published by request.
Our land is filled with slaves today
Worse than those of the past.
The chains that bind mems souls today
Are chains of steel and brass.
Thev bind a stone about the neck
or husband. brother son;
Oh. what could come in our land today
More crushing to our homes.
For "Uncle Sam" makes laws today
Ola Uncle Sam" you see,
Gives them the right to sell the stun.
And so we can't be free.
The driver is old Alcohol,
So dreaded and so strong
He drives our BOYS to ruin
And our homes are left forlorn.
Our streets are filled with slaves each day
With this Master Alcohol
To them TO destruction
These slaves of the present day.
Why talk OF slavery OF the past,
Compared with that today
The slave that toiled on southern soil
Had hopes of u resting day.
But, to be the slave to Alcohol
No rest can poor soul find.
He must toll on from sun to sun
While his brain is nearly wild.
Then urge him on. Old Alcohol.
Don't let him stop to pray,
But, "Bring him to me-" says the rum-seller
Come. push him In this way
Is this land free that gives the right
To fetter men this wayS
Our boys our boys, that God hath made
Are slaves OF, the present day.
We fought to free the slave they brought
From southern Africa:
Now fight as nobly for the cons
or grand America.
For we are slaves. Yes, slaves today.
But, work and vote and pray,
Till 1t no more will be said Of us.
They're slaves of the present day.
Oh, let us see our nation rise
In one soul stirring band,
Don't stand the curse OF slavery,
But drive 1t from our land.
They're coming, coming. We see them now;
Our brothers from the south,
AS once our boys in blue did go
To face the lannon's mouth
They come; they come to help us pow,
Our land TO free from slaves.
Wen weave a garland for the brow
or those so good and brave.
From Georga's sunny land they come
Where the grand palmetto waves.
It's branches spread DER sunny land.
That must be freed from slaves.
Where once the dusky Africa's son
Stood by his wife and cried.
Where lie our boys In blue today
Who for that poor slave died.
Then we will vote to free the slaves.
Then hand in hand we'll go.
From south to north, an army brave.
Goes forth to fight the foe.
Oh let us see our nation rise
In one soul-stirring band.
Don't stand The curse OF slavery,
But drive 1t from our land.

Denatured Alcohol.

Along with other disappointments
connected with the jamestown expo
sition comes the report of the re-
suits of the government tests there in
relation to denatured alcohol. OF
course, 1t is quite possible that fu-
ture experimentation may lead to
something more encouraging. 1t is
not to be taken for granted that the
last word has been said. What has
been in actual and profitable use in
some parts of Europe may very like
~ prove eventually to be practicable
in America. But for the Immediate
present it must be admitted that the
results of the government tests ar
jamestown are not distinctly encour-
aging. Thus, 1t has besa shown that
1t takes one and one-half gallons of
denatured alcohol to produce as much
power as one gallon of gasoline. while
the alcohol costs twice as much nc
the gasoline. This is rather discour-
aging, but the report states that the
present season is not favorable IN
the production of alcohol, ANYWAY
Corn is too high in price. and the
methods of extracting alcohol from
other substances have not been per-
fected. But the government is ex-
perimenting in different directions
and especially in the cultivation of n
kind of imported potatoes, which will
yield, it is expected more alcohol
than can be obtained from any other
known source. That is perhaps en-
couraging as far as it goes, but the
real and depressing information de-
rived from the governments expert
ments so far appears to indicate that
denatured alcohol is likely to prove
considerable of disappointment for
some time to come

mo REVISION" SAYS FoRDNEY
Congressman Blames Tariff Agitation
for Money Strinsency.

Saginaw, Mich, November 26.-Con-
gresham J. w. Fordney left for Wash
ington tonight to take up his official
labors ut the national capital. Mr..
Fordney thinks financial legislation will
oyershadow all other !matters during
the session
81 believe" said Mr.. Fordney, that
the tariff agitation is largely RESPONSE
bic for the present condition of money
affairs think the clamor for revision
has hurt business and incidentally the
banks more than any other thing, There
will be no revision this session. 1t will
not even be undertaken. And when it
is undertaken am satisfied there will
be no wholesale or general revision.
am in favor of keeping theitariff high. )"
Mr.. Fordney does not believe the way
to get at the trusts is through the tariff.
~
Prosecute the wrong doors, he says.
Keep them within the law and there
will be no complaintsa their enjoy
ing special privileges from the tariff
Congressman Fordney has no use for
Taft's candidacy. He declares that
Taft. he thinks, is losing ground steadi
ly. He figures that Hughes Knox, For
aker, Fairbanks, Shaw, Cannon and La
Toilette will all combine against him
and that this of itself will insure his
defeat. Mr.. FordneY thinks Hughes
stock is going up rapidly, but he still
espOuses Cannon as first choice.
''Mr Taft. said Fordney, 'is not sim
caro-. A year ago in his speech atIBath,
Me. he told the country he was in ia
yor of immediate revision. sLast sum
mer in his address at Columbus O., he
said he was still in favor of revision,
bat not just now. Taft will not do for
Michigan with its beat sugar industry
and he will not do for president.
Mr. Fordney thought there would be
plenty of politics in the approaching
session; in fact that politics would play
alesding part in about everything done.
*x*
On the subject of ship subsidy Mr..
Fordnsy was very outspoken. He is an
ardent subsidy man, but not the kind
the big ship owners and mail carriers
would Like. Mr.. Fordney would elm
insts all merchant marine and enlist
nent features, and be would limit SUBJ
aides entirely to the tonnage basis. He
would require minimum of 10000
ions carrying capacity, but would have
mo conditions as to speed, schedules or
the carrying of mails.
While Mr. Fordney would like very
much to succeed Senator William AL
den Smith on the WAYS and means com
mittee. lac Will make no efforts to SO.
ssare the place, standing by the decision
of the Michigan delegation which was
communicated to Speaker Cannon to
she effect that If the appointment is to
go to Michigan. he shall choose between
Mr. Fordney and Congressman Hamil
aon, of Niles.

I attended the patriotic exercises on
the Roof Garden last night There
were two or three things that struck
me. One was that when Governor
Carter called on the audience to stand
up and sing America, pretty nearly
everybody sang the first stanza. With
the second stanza there was a notable
falling off in voices, and Madame Ala
pal and the native orchestra sang the
rest of the hymn almost alone.
on the printed program the last num-
Der was given as National Anthem"
1t was with some surprise therefore,
that most of the audience heard Ma
dame Alapai and the orchestra begin
singing the native version Of Hawaii
Ponoi." Still a considerable portion
of the audience seemed to know the
words and Joined in the singing. Then
came the Star Spangled Banner, but I
don't believe that in the whole audience
there were much more than a score Of
persons who sang through the whole
song. Quite lot of people would join
in on the lines which are identical or
nearly so i'm each stanza, but they put
the mute on their voices for the rest
of it. The truth is the Americans don't
know the words of their own patriotic
songs OF course there is the cynic
who says that there aren't any patriotic
American songs that are worth know
ing. But whether that is so or not the
fact remains that they don't know the
words Of their patriotic songs.

slider that George Washington was
much of a general. In this estimate
I think that the morning paper is sadly
unappreciative of him. Some time
when I am not so busy I will take up
this matter and demonstrate with the
military text book that Washington
was one of the greatest generals that
his country ever produced. To lose
battles does not necessarily imply that
a man is not a great general.

1 see that H. NJ. Ayres' sporting
weekly, The Referee, is out today. It
is full of meat and presents a fine APP
pearance. Hoping and believing that
The Referee will live long and prosper,
l want to record some interesting his
tory. After Ayres came here in 1898,
with the L. S. Volunteer engineers, he
for about a year published The Reveillc
at Camp Mckinley. AS long as he was
with the engineers he ran the paper
and it was good little sheet. Then
for about ten months there fiourished
The Volcano with Marshall editor, and
Ayres associate. This came to a halt
by Marshall going to Jail for libel.
Then came The Sunday Eagle which
ran eight weeks and had to quit on
account of the plague epidemic. Ayres
and Sabin were its joint editors. Their
office was burned by order of the Board
of Health, a plague case having occur
red near by. In the fire was lost 81 in
stamps, a box of receipted bills and
an autograph letter of George Wash
ington. When Marshall emerged from
jail he and Ayres resurrected The Vol
cano, running it several months, tho
not so eruptively as before. When Mar
shall went to Manila to start a weekly
there, Ayres and Sabin took The vo'-
cano on an option and ran IL four
weeks. 1t died a natural death. Then
we had the pink Mirror, Ayres-Sabin
again After 10 weeks Sabin sold out
Ayres ran it ten weeks longer alone
and then went to Shanghai soon start
ing The Bund, which is running yet
Ayres having sold out On the death
Of the pink Mirror Sabin started the

Honlulu being overcrowded with rell-
gion, the sheet withered and died. Then
there was Sabin's Leader which lived
as long as it wanted to, running as a
