Washington, Nov. %. Declaring
that there will be an honest revision
of the tariff and that there is no
present need of ''frr'ting" about the
selection of speaker in the house in
the sixty-firat congress, Speaker Can
non arrived here from his home in
illinois late last night for the ap-
preaching session of congress. He
added to the newspaper men who
gereeted him that he believed the
people would get the sort of tariff
revision that they voted for.
Later he issued a statement in
which he declared that he was not
attempting to dictate to the house,
and that through the system of cleo
tion of members the people were reas-
onably certain of having their views
ena ted into law. Citing an example
of hasty action leading to misinter-
pretation of public sentiment in re-
gard to a tariff bill. he expressed
an opinion that there would be no
mistake made next summer In the
revision of the tariff.
The fun text Of Speaker Cannon's
statement Is as follows:
The election of speaker Tor the
Sixty-first congress is yet a consid-
erabe distance in the future. When
that congress is about to assemble
which / presume will be some time in
March-the Republican members of
the house of representatives will hold
a caucus, as has been the custom from
the foundation of the party, and sell
ect a candidate for speaker, to be
supported by the party at the organi-
Zation OF the house. | presume that
the representatives win be perfectly
competen to elect their speaker. and
do not see any present need for fret
ting about the matter.
''Of course there will be an honest
revision Of the tariff We made the
campaign on that isue and every
Republican member was elected with
that in view. Every one of those
Republicans. without an exception
will, ! believe, strive to the best of

WHAT'S THE USE d?

Columbus man who blew out his
brains Tuesday, left a note with only
these words inscribed, What's the
use. This man was accredited with
being insane, but in the moment that
he determined to end it all, he spoke
truth which even the wisest have
not been able to recognize.
After all, when we sit down and
think soberly upon the problems
which we consider of great moment
today, we cannot but be brought face
to face with this same question,
whats the use?' Things which i'm
press us as being of great moment to-
day will within a very short time be
entirely forgotten. Those most i'm
portant OF things have given place to
other matters which are in their turn
considered of most importance, and
so It goes all through life, the things
which concern us in the present mo-
ment are of more importance than
those which have just been confront
ed and either overcome or have over
come us. Life Is made up Of a sue
cesslon OF these important affairs
which fade away to be replaced by
others. The man who committed sui
eide probably became insane over
worrying over some of the things
which impressed him as being OF
such great Importance. He lost hi,
reason and in the end came to the
. conclusion that 1t was no use.
In this day and age men and wom-
en-, in America especially, are fighting
2and clamoWing for something. Some
seek riches. some covet social prom
einence, some seek political prefer
8ment, others are searching for fame
kin the various walks of life and in
the end they are destined to come up
RagaiHst --. this same proposition,
F"Whats the use?i Our forefatheIs OF
kPdritan days were not content with
kthe things they had, They had their
worries with the problems which they
were confronting and were worrying
In their day just as we are today, on
ly TO a lesser extent because the
causes for worry were less. With
each succeeding year new things
are added to the list OF those to trou-
BILE the people and the question only
remains how long will 1t take until
the number is so great and the mental
/ strain 50 intense that the human
mind will be unable 10 withstand the
strain. How long will 1t be until we
are all brought to the point which
Twas reached by the Columbus man
when he declared, Whats the use?''
