 It was some months since, when the American fleet was starting out on its long cruise, that the JngoIst Par-ex- celence openly asserted that tho ad- ministration meant to go to war with Japan He then insisted that the fleet should go to the Pacific because 1t would only tend to bring the suppos- odly nnti-Americnn sentiments in Japan to head, Since then the fleet has visited Japan and there has re- Geiyed such a welcome as has made all past events of similar nature sink into insignlloance the best possible H. laration that the Mikado's island people feel most friendly disposed to- ward ue Now Mr. Hobson reverses hia tactics and takes the very opposite view Of tue matter stubbornly protest ing President Rooseyelts orders In

FOXY NH. CANNON.

The fight against Mir Cannon as q candidate to succeed himself as the speaker of tho national house of rep- resentatiyes should not be made the less strenuous, but rather it should wax the warmer, in view of the fact that there is every present indication that he will win out in his ambition. Somebody has said that Joe Can non, unlike most politicians, thrives most when the opposition to him is the warmest Seriously, there seems to be some truth in that statement. Yet, even were it true. those who nave seen so many worth while bills, in which they have been interested, de- feated in congress mainly through his efforts as speaker cannot at all satis fy their consciences now in emitting the protest and vigorously fight 1is re election to that office at every pos slbe iunctprc
 MT Cannon is what ia known in the vernacuar of the streets as a "foS He has proved his right 10 that title time and again Mir. Cannon was never more fox, iu political sense. than he is to-day The senti ment in Washington and Throughout the country to-day is increasingly In favor of certain tarift reforms. Mir. Carncgie's observations on the subject. just made public, are most signihcan. MT. Taft's campaign pledge to bring about a new tariff law was not at all pledge made under compusion. but one which he has and does back ID whole -heartedly In view of these facts, it means great political ad vantage for MT Cannon, if he can made 1t appear that he would do all | in his power, if reelected speaker of 1 tne house, to bring about these very tariff laws now contemplated, This i he attempts to do now, in spite of his repeated assertions during the late campaign that he as speaker had ab- solutcly no power to make or defeat laws, that power resting solely in the hands of the members of the house on the floor.
 The country should not be deceived by this new announcement of MT Cannon, much less those who will make up the membership of the next house of representatives, He is but strengthening his speakership chances. MT. Cannon has long been known as an avowed adherent of a high protec- tive tariff Furthermore. he Is not the man to change his views on such a
 fundamentally important question as this over night or in a snort time. Mir. Cannon is a fox and 1t behooves those who have 1t in their hands to select the next speaker, on whom in turn will rest much Of the responsibil- Ity as to the new tariff, to be "foxier" '"

SELECTED FOR AN EVANGELISM.

II is queer what varying ideas some people have. Under the same date of news dispatches professor in q lec- ture presents St. Luke the evangelist "as a law reporter" and in Kansas a clergyman fin the course of q revival meeting urges that a lawyer, William ]. Bryan, should be an evangelist, and would become the equal of the Apos- tie Paul" he declares.
 There is no doubt that MT. Bryan possesses the persuasive power of an evangelist and were he to take the ad- vice of the Kansas minister he would have greater success than in running for the presidency. Where he can not make political converts, he may make religious ones. About week ago a religious journal of Boston sug- gested that Mr. Bryan's religious tenn perament would be a hindrance 10 q practical view and administration of affairs as president, Thus too much religion becomes dangerous in the ex- ecuHve of a nation, but as an evange- list religion Is perfectly safe.
 Of course some allowance must he made for the excited atate of feeling that may have moved this Kansas reyivallst and for his sense of mathe- matlcal proportion, "r am firmly convinced" says the Kansas clergy man, "that one ambassador of Christ Of your caliber is worth more to this
