The Methodist conferences continue

The Methodist conferences continue
to denounce Speaker Cannon because
he refuses to let proposed laws have
hearing. 1t is all right to vote
against Cannon for his dictation as to
what legislation shall or shall not be
considered, but it is essential also to
vote out the Republican party that
makes Cannons boss-ship possible. De-
feat of Cannon is good, but would not
remedy the situation unless the Re
publicans are turned out If Republi-
cans win, and Cannon is defeated. the
same iron rules will be carried out by
a Sherman or DalzelI, or some other
Republican pupil of Cannon.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

The New York Journal has a car.
toon showing a Standard Oil can ia
king the place of the dome in a pic
ture of the capitol at Washington.
Good. It is another evidence that the
people do net rule at Washington, but
that the trusts rule through the agency
of the Republican party. AS to legis.
lation, Mr.. Sherman, candidate for
vice-president, said: 1.-THE Republican
party is willing and ready to accept
full responsibility" Exactly, and the
Standard oil and other trusts rule
through that party. The only way to
prevent such rule is to elect Bryan.
