every man who signed this appeal
matches 1t. dollar for dollar Now
come across!" What would the mayor
and his men do? Suppose Billy said,
"I'l sign an agreement to put every
cent of it in a pot and you fourteen
sign up right now to match the amount
among you" Wouldn't fourteen fell
lows fall over themselves getting
away? The aggregate income of the
signers is probably over that of Sun
day Would they stand for a charit-
able donation assessed on an income
basis?
II the mayor and his fellows are not
four-fl flushing. why don't they make
their proposal on some such grounds.
If Billy Sunday takes money out of
Ottumwa none will truthfully assert
that he got 1t any way but by the
free will of those who gave it. What
we may think of Billy or of the givers
is neither here nor there but it must
be more than we are inclined to think
Of men whom make holy charity the
weapon of their luminosity, and a
means to the embarrassment of a
movement which has practically uni
versal support of the churches and
their pastors in Ottumwa.

Mr.. Cannon on the Rules.

New York Tribune: Speaker Can
! mons reply to criticisms of the meth
DDS according to which the business of
the house of representatives Is now
conducted misses the real point at Is
sue. The speaker defends the commit
tee on rules and says that 1t performs
an absolutely necessary function He
denies that it is an arbitrary body, with
unreasonable power, and says truly
that it facilitates business and helps
to give free expression to the will Of
the majority The Tribune has always
powers Of the committee on rules
which followed the Reed reforms in
1890 was highly desirable. In a legisla-
tive body as large as the house of rep
resentatives there ought to be some
central guiding authority, responsible
to the house and acting as the agent OF
the majority In framing a legislative
program. The spirit of anarchy, which
SO often plagued the house prior t"
1890, could be repressed only by the
firm assertion thru such an agency of
the right Of the majority to decide-what
business 1t wished to consider and how
much time should be given to consid-
ering 1t.
Nobody, we take 1t, wants to shear
the committee on rules of its present
parliamentary authority The critics
of the present system merely want to
see that committee. strengthened in
moral authority by being made more
representative. At present 1T is the
agent Of the speaker rather than Of the
house, since the speaker names all Its
members, and their interest lies in sus-
tanning him and his policies rather
than in rejecting the general sentiment
of the body The speaker. instead of
being simply the presiding officer of
1.-THE house. enjoys thru his rights to
make all committee appointments and
to give or deny recognition on the floor
a practical political as we'll as par
liamentary dictatorship. His consent
is Indispensable to legislation, and the
rules committee, composed of his lieu
tenants, executes his will because II
owes everything to him and nothing
to the members generally who nave
Invested themselves of all direct re-
sponsibility for the conduct of bus1-
ness.
We think that direct choice by the
house Of all it's committees would re-
store a much needed sense of indivld-
uality and responsibility. Under the
present system government originates
from the top If the committees were
named by the members themselves the
| laws Of open competition would again
apply and members would be encour-
aged to depend on themselves for rec
ognition and advancement. The over
concentration Of power in the speak
] er's hands has reduced the average
representative to a mere cog in a ma
| chine. He has ceased to think and act
| for himself. and his constituency suf-
fers because it has ceased to count for
lanything in legislation. freer career

a BOOKS RIGHT TO LIVE.

Golfers Weekly tells facetious
story Illustrating lack of knowl-
edge or understanding Of the character
and purpose of "Uncle TOMS Cabin
and suggests that the paragraph fairly
approximates the rising generations
knowledge of Mrs. Stoves MASTER
piece. In this as in many other mat
ters the SNUG eastern attitude-from,
which even Golfers is not free-of as
suning that New York city is the
United States. leads that journal into
mistaken impression of the popular
ity Of the old book which set match
to the rubbish heap Of slavery.
Uncle Toms Cabin is read in the
middle west by the rising generation
to an extent that would astonish Col
lers To illustrate, the Times Repub-
lican has long given books as a prem
ium to those who subscribe directly to
the Twice Week T.-R. OF all the
titles "Uncle Toms Cabin" has been
most popular. Indeed, 1t and Ten
Nights in Barroom' have been taken
by thousands where other and later
books have gone out in hundreds. The
library editions OF Mrs. Stoves book
show signs of wear that could come
about only one way. School children
read Uncle Toms Cabin as much
perhaps as any other single title Of
fered them.
1t is an epic. 1t marked an epoch
but it gathered the vital human in
lterest that makes books live. When
slavery has become a dim memory.
when the race question has been finally
settled in righteousness and humanity,
the book will exist to attract by its
Interest, which is above historical
epuchs and events. for it touches the
heart.

pose can not overshadow the fact that
ii is about the only refuge left decency
against indecency and domestic OPP
preston.
If President Roosevelt had taken the
third term by the time it had closed
the vote of the Ananias club might
have cut a considerable figure in ma
tional elections
1t may come as sort of revelation
to many readers to learn that at the
present day there are almost 200 col
ored nuns laboring on behalf of their
own people in the United States. And
it may surprise them still more to be
told that one of these two orders, the
Oblate Sisters of Providence. has been
in existence as a community since the
year 1929. This Is remarkable when
we remember that this was in slavery
days, in a slave state.

there are ways of parting people and
their money other than dishonest ones
