FROM THE
COMMONER
PLEADING WITH THE SPEAKER.
MIR. BRYAN'S PAPER

Newspaper dispatches say that Pres
ident Roosevelt invited Speaker Can
ron to the White House, May 5, and
bluntly told him that unless he allowed
the house to do something for the pub
lie interests he would be responsible
for Republican defeat. The president
particularly wanted the wood pulp bill
passed.
Referring to the conference between
the president and the speaker, Walter
Wellman in dispatch printed in the
Chicago Record-Herald says:
why pass bill simply because the
newspaper publishers want it? The
country will declare we have discrim-
mated in favor of the newspapers and
we will receive the righteous swatting
of the voters because we have done
something for them and not for the
rest of the people"
This, in substance, is understood to
be the Cannon argument, or excuse,
for not yielding to widespread pres
sure anent free-listing pulp and paper.
1t is an excuse, however, that has been
readily met by the new plan of action
at the White House.
IF you want to do something for the
rest of the people as well, you have
the chance" That was in substance
the answer given to Speaker Cannon
to-day. Here's the postal savings
bank proposition. 1t has been urged
by the administration, is in the inter
est of the whole people, and the peo-
pie, having studied the matter, want
the system established. They want
that just as much as the publishers
want wood pulp and print paper on the
free list. You alone stand in the way
of both propositions. Act in both mat
tiers, or get off the lid and let the
house act and then it cannot be said
that congress was discriminating in
favor of any single interest"
This must be interesting reading for
Republicans who yet believe that the
Republican party intends to represent
the people.
Here the president of the United
States invites the speaker to the
White House and pleads with him to
give Republican publishers-and, of
course, publishers generally-relief
from tariff imposition. And when the
speaker says that = wood pulp bill
would be dangerous object lesson for
voters who yet imagine that the for
eigner pays the tax and that the rest
of the people" will then demand some
relief, the president says he might
give "the rest of the people" the
postal savings bank. Uncle joe is
right so far as the object lesson is con-
cerned. A great many Republicans
who have for years patiently submit
ted to tariff exacuons are very likely
in the face of tariff revisions for the
benefit of the newspaper publishers
to ask why not tariff revision for con-
sumers generally"
And why not tariff revision? If it
is good for the newspaper publisher
why not give it to the consumers gen
orally? And how does it happen that
this great political organization. whose
leaders insist that it is the party of
the people, the party of God and
morality" cannot be persuaded to
legislate in public interests?
1t can hardly be coaxed to give
enough in the way of remedial legisla
ton to which the Republican political
managers may point as an excuse for
the reelection of their party to the
control of the national government?

The wages of 10000 Massachusetts
cotton mill operatives were cut ten
per cent. last week. The week before
10000 other operatives were subjected
to similar cut, and $4,000 more will
get the same kind of Republican
tariff prosperity dose next year. The
full dinner pail is becoming something
of a hollow mockery.

The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1908-10-20

Sir Isaac Newton earned worldwide
fame by showing that gravitation, pre-
viously recognized only at the surface
of the earth, Is operative throughout
the universe wherever there is matter.
In another field of physics he was far
less happy. His brilliant success In
experimental optics came to be quail
fed, though not invalidated, by a
faulty Interpretation of the facts. He
gave his name and powerful authority
to the corpuscular theory Of light. In
Sir Isaac's view, the phenomenon of
luminosity is produced by corpuscles-
exceedingly minute particles of matter
which are projected continuously
from the sun, stars and all other lumi-
nous bodies. But his corpuscles failed
to elucidate all the appearances, and
Sir Isaac's theory was finally deposed
by an explanation which referred light
to undulatory vibrations in the ether.
It would be some comfort for the dis
coverer of universal gravltation, were
he living now, to realize that the mod
ern physicist is daily dealing with cor
puscles flung off from matter at speeds
fairly comparable with that of life it.

Mr.. G0MPERS REBUkED
BY TYPOGRAPHERS' CHIEF
Norman E. McPhail Declares Union
Labor's Vote Cannot Be Delivered"
by Any Man or Set of Men.

1.-THE vote of organized labor as a
body will not, should not and cannot
be delivered to any party or by any
man or set of men," This Is the deo-
Iaratlon of Norman E. McPhail, presI-
dent of the Typographical union, in a
letter to Willis L. Moore, chief Of the
United States weather bureau. Thus
another voice is added to the rising
protest of union labor against the at
tempt of Mr.. GomPers to deliver" the
vote of free American citizens.
President McPhaiPs letter is as fol-
lows:
"Dear Mr.. Moore-Your letter Of
Sept. % has just been received and
read by me, as have today returned
from a tour of some of our New Eng
land cities for our organization.
"In reply to the question you ask
me, ! will state that in my opinion the
vote of organized labor in this coun-
try as body will not and cannot be
delivered to any one party by any one
man or set of men. To allow such
thing would be suicidal to the labor
movement of the country.
Members of labor unions, as citi-
gems, have the right and should care
fully consider the platforms and prom
ises of the different political parties
and should vote as they believe the
broadcast and best interests of our
country lie.
There can be no objection to this
from any source, and it is something
which every citizen should do. To
claim that any man or set of men, as
has been oIazoned forth In the news
papers, will deliver the vote of organ
ICED labor to any party is absurd as
it is an impossibiIity. Sincerely yours,
NORMAN {. M'PHAIL."

REV. FRANCIS 5uRoETTE
SHORT ExTOLS Mr.. TAFT.

1t is striking that no one has
yet declared that Bryan is a wise
statesman. Those who are most
anxious for his success do not
urge especial fitness. but rather
that be may at last have found
an issue that the people VIII not
repudiate at the polls. To return
to power Is the main thing OF
the Democratic party, no mat
ter IL It floats into Office on
Bryan bubbles or on any other
conceivable pretext
In pronounced contrast Is the
estimate that Is universally ex-
pressed on Taft's equipment for
the presidency. Irrespective OF
party. all attest to bis mastery
of affairs and wonderful admin
istrative ability. The clergy are
equally outspoken. Among those
who called upon Mr.. Taft at Gin
cinnau during the week was the
Rev. Francis Burgette Short,
pastor Of the First Methodist
Episcopal church at Salt Lake
City. Discussing politics, Mr..
Short said:
Judge Taft Is eminently fitted
in character and practice to oc-
cupy the highest office. In the
land. His efforts to raise high
standard Of Life at home, his In
terest in and solicitude for ma
tons across the sea-. mark him
as a man Of sane visions and de-
sire. Such man this nation
needs and requires at its head
II we are to continue to hold the
undivided admiration Of those at
home and those abroad. Such a
man we must have II we would
make history that is gloriously
humane"
