From present indications the next legis.
lature in the State of Texas will submit
the question of state wide prohibition to
the vote of the people, and in view of the
fact that over one hundred and fifty
counties of the state are now dry under
the county local option law it is not
difficult to predict the result of such a
vote.
The Democratic state convention has
adopted platform providing for the sub
mission of a prohibition amendment to
the constitution and it is not likely that
any kind of revolution can take place
between now and election that would
place Texas in any other than the Demo.
cratic column. Prohibition, therefore,
seems almost assured.
With such a situation in Texas, and
with a campaign for state. wide prohi-
bition on in Tennessee, South Carolina,
Virginia, Florida and Arkansas, the
prospects are not at all vague that before
another year rolls around New Orleans
will be the only place in all the South
where man can legally get drink.

With his usual disregard for facts,
Uncle" Joseph G. Cannon, Speaker of
the House, asserted in speech at Spring.
field, ILL.,, that William Jennings Bryan
was a millionaire. To use Speaker
Cannon's own choice words Bryan had
made a $1,000, 600 since 1896 selling
wind and ink" to the public. Bryan
very promptly nailed this campaign lie of
Cannon's by a statement showing his
personal fortune to be not over $3.50, 600,
which has been derived from his books,
lectures and newspaper writings, and
challenges Uncle Joe to make public the
amount of his own large private fortune
and tell how he got it.
There is not much likelihood that
Cannon will have much to say on this
score, as it is well-known fact he has
ever been heart and soul with the corpora
atoms during his forty years in public
office, and every predatory interest is
hoping for his reelection to Congress.
Speaker Cannon has used every means
to block legislation looking to the public
good and the curbiug of corporate power,
and has opposed even the reforms advo.
Gated by President Roosevelt, his position
as Speaker Of the House putting in his
hands power that he otherwise could not
WELD. 1t is through representatives of
this class that the corporate interests
have been permitted to get such hold
on the affairs of our government, while
such campaign lies as those of Cannon
regarding Bryan's wealth are given the
widest circulation by the corporation
dailies. which are not so particular about
publishing the facts when their statements
are reported, as they have been in this
instance.

WONDERS OF WATER.
Extent to Which Fluid Mineles With
Bodies Apparently Solid.

The extent to- which water mingles
with bodies apparently solid is won
derful. The glittering opal which
beauty wears as an ornament is only
flint and water. In every plaster of
paris statue which an italian carries
through our streets for sale there is
one pound of water to every four
pounds of chalk The air we breathe
contains five grains of water to each
cubic foot of it's bulk. The potatoes
and turnips which are boiled for our
dinner have in their raw state the one
IS per cent and the other 80 per cent
Of water.
If man weighing ten stone were
squeezed fat in hydraulic press
seven and one-half stone of water
would run out and only two and one
half stone of dry residue remain. A
man is, chemically speaking, forty-fve
pounds of carbon and nitrogen diffused
through five and a half pailfuls Of
water. In plants we find water thus
mingling in no less wonderful man
ner.
3 A sunflower evaporates one and
quarter pints of water day and
cabbage about the same quantity. A
wheat plant exhales in 172 days about
100000 grains of water. An acre of
growing wheat, on this calculation,
draws and passes out about ten tons
Of water per day.
The sap of plants is the medium
through which this mass of fluid is
conveyed. 1t forms a delicate pump
by which the watery particles run
with the rapidity of swift stream.
By the action of the sap various prop
critics may be communicated to the
growing plant. Timber in France is.

1t has been truly said no private cit

Mr., Bryan, for no private citizen ever
had greater hold on the hearts of
the people. No candidate ever entered a
campaign under more ideal conditions.
Indebted for his nominotion to no one
except to the people who instructed their
delegates to vote for him, free from all

Sternberg the German Ambassador. His
successor has not yet been named but
there is general regret over the loss of the
Won Sternbergs who were quite popular.
The Baroness was Kentucky girl, rather
famous for her beauty in spite of the fact
that she was lame. The Baron suffered
from cancer of the face which made it
necessary for him 10 wear bandages about
his left cheek and neck for couple of
years before his death The Baroness is
returning to this city to remove her per-
sonal effects from the Embassy prior to
the coming of the new Ambassador and
it is said that she will live here per-
maneutly, though if she has decided to
do so it must have been without much
reflection. To be at one time the wife
of the German Ambassador with great
house and liberal income will make
very painful the inevitable neglect she
will experience as the widow of man
soon forgotten, who must live on the
thirty five hundred dollar pension &C.

Methodists all over the country, backed
by their bishops, are making concerted
attack on Speaker of the National House
of Representatives Joseph G. Cannon.
They hope to defeat him for reelection 10
his district, and failing in that, to retire
him as Speaker of the 6rst Congress. Mr..
Cannon was reelected two years ago by
1927 over his Democratic opponent
During the sitting of the Methodist
General Conference in Baltimore last May
Mr.. Littlefeld, of Maine, introduced
bill in the House to amend the Interstate
Commerce act SO as to give States the
right to stop express companies or COM
mon carriers from bringing liquor into
State. The bill was referred to commit
tee, and the latter held it up They re.
fused to make any report. Mr.. Littlefeld
tried to get a resolution through the
House to compel the committee TO aban-
don further consideration of the subject
SO that he could bring the matter before
Congress direct.
Speaker Cannon refuses to recognize
him. Then delegation of bishops froul
the Methodist Conference came over here
and discussed the subject with Speaker
Cannon in ais room. He would not an.
swer them, but afterwards, when the
matter was brought up in the House by
Mr.. Little6eld, Speaker Cannon made a
speech.
In that speech Mr.. Cannon declared
that the prohibition of the sale of liquor
was purely State matter, and that the
State could not prescribe laws as to what
interstate bodies should or should not do.
Also, that Congress could not give the
right to State to interfere with the
operations of national law. He con.
tended that the State should look after the
liquor after it reached its territory. The
Speaker talked in his usual vigorous
manner and his speech created somewhat
of furry in church circles. The Meth
odist at once came to the conclusion that
the Speaker was in league with the liquor
men to flood the prohibition States with
rum. They at once began vigorous
warfare and threaten to vote against any
candidate for Congress who will not
pledge himself to oppose the reelection
of Mr.. Cannon for Speaker in the new
Congress of 1909 The members for this
Congress will be elected in November
next.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

While official and social diversions are
scarce in Washington just now the eyes of
the world nevertheless are fixed on the
Capitol Wherever man exists the desire
to conquer the air by flying is felt and no
one can say how hany years men have
been engaged in the experiment. For
many years in this country it was con-
s'dered so quixotic that the inventions
would not be considered in the patent
Office and were regarded as the perpetual
motion devices are now. Nevertheless
Orville Wright has been demonstrating
here for few days the most remarkable
heavier than air flying machine that has
yet been produced. His brother Wilbur
Wright, is also exhibiting the same type
OF machine in LIE Mans, France, but i,
has remained for the brother here to
break all flying records so far. On
Wednesday of last week he remained in
the air for two minutes more than an
hour and during that time had perfect
control of the machine and alighted when
he was ready as easily and lightly as a
bird. Before an audience made up of the
Secretary of War, also named Wright but
not related to the inventor, Secretary
Metcalf, Secretary Straus. General Nelson
Miles. other prominent Army officers,
newspaper correspondents and hundreds
of curious onlookers, the flight of over an
hour was made and second one when
the machine carried an additional man
was successfully executed. There is little
doubt but that the Government will pur-
chase the Wright machine for it has
already showed its ability to fulfill all the
requirements of the Governments test
1t is not many years since committees
composed of prominent men assembled
in different places for the purpose OF
testing the actual working of the auto.
mobile, and at that period the motor was
quite as crude as the flying machines that
are being exhibited now. The whole
marvel of the latter is, as has been said OF
woman's preaching and dog standing
on his hind legs. not that they can do it
well, but that they can do it at all.

this year. Contrary to all expectations
based on late experience that each year
would see fashionable and official folk
lingering longer overtheir vacations, this
week will see the President and his family
established in the White House and a
large contingent of the Diplomatic and
official sets back in the city. The White
House has been put in readiness for the
President and the annual cleaning which
requires all of the summer and thirty
thousand dollars has been completed
The mansion has had coat of paint out
side and been thoroughly renovated in
the interior in way to make a New
England housekeeper's soul thrill with
joy, though in manner so extravagant
as to fill her with dismay. Certain rooms
are carpeted anew each year, and though
the amount of entertaining that is done
during the winter and spring does give
the carpets severe wear il is doubtful if
the President or any other man would
buy new carpets without making some
effort to see what cleaning and remaking
and other expedients might be tried to
make the old ones look better than when
they were new. In the case of the
White House, though the President has
nothing to say about it, Mrs. Roosevelt
may express desire for a few more hooks
in her wardrobe, or suggest re-arrange-
ment of the furniture, but the purchases
are made by order of the Superintendent
of Public Buildings and Grounds and he
is responsible for seeing that the thirty
thousand dollars year appropriated by
Congress for the up keep of the White
House shall be expended to the last cent.
Among the odd items in the bill for the
summers refurnishing each year is a new
cooking range for the large kitchen where
all of the State dinners are prepared.
For people who regard kitchen range
as a life time possession to be passed down
with the house to future generations a
new cook stove each and every year seems
"a reckless aud incomprehensible ex-
travagance but perhaps they don't think
SO along Fifth Avenue and Newport
either. On the other hand it may be
seen that a course of petty economies
might soon result in an unhygienic and
uncomfortable house for the President so
that Congress has always been liberal in
its appropriation for that purpose.

HON. JOE BROWN
 MAKES STATEMENT

Atlanta, June 6.-Governor- elect Joseph M. Brown was asked tonight by the As- sociated Press for an expression as to his preference for the next nomineea on the democratic ticket for President of tine United States, and declared that this mat ter waS entirely with the state conven- tion. VI said that while he might have a personal preference he believed it bet ter to leave the matter to the convcn- tion.
 He said the Georgia state convention would meet without any instructions from the future governor.
 Asked as to whether he favors Bryan, Johnson, Fafollette or any of the other candidates, he declared that there had been too much interference, in previous campaigns, with national politics, and that he would leave the entire matter to the judgment of the convention.
 He also said that he was much gratfied at his election in the primary, but as to the future policies he had nothing to say.
 On the question of state prohibition he said:
 '1rhe present law will stand as it is for the next three years"
 He said that both he and Governor Smith had agreed in their campaign as to this. If the law proves defective in that tipe then it may be amended,' said MT. Brown.

CONFERENCE ON PANAMA. Coming Elections Cause Worry In the
 White House.

Washington, D. C., June 6.-(Special)- Conference this morning and this after noon between the White House, Secretary Root and officials of the navy depart ment on Panama indicate that the gov%n- ment proposes to force House election in Panama by the use of marines.
 Secretary Taft and the President were both anxious to know whether the 200 extra marines ordered to be in Panama at the time of the election will arrive on time and it was ascertained that there will be no delay.
 Secretary Taft in his recent trip to Panama made report on the allegations in Panama that the United States min- ister MT. Squiers, at Panama was per niciously active in the local campaign. The Panama government also wanted the attention of this government called to that allegation and MT. Squiers has made a report to the state department.
 In brief the United States takes the ground that it is bound to secure peace in Panama if 1t appears that there will be trouble Neyond the control of the local government. The policy of the White House in other words is to let nothing in terfere with the progress of the work on the canal.
