but I don't believe they understood the
question:
Talked About Government Ownership.
After talking about Mr.. Bryans re-
turn to Madison Square Garden from
abroad with the revelation of govern
ment ownership of railroads and the
Peerless ones later back down on this
proposition in the face of public opin-
ion the speaker thought that Bryan had
never showed a sincere enough change
of heart on this question to yet be
eligible for baptism in a sane faith.
He then went on to give startling
array of figures on government and
private ownership of railroads. In Ger
many where the government owns the
roads. the public pays higher price
for freight and transportation and en-
ployes receive about half the, wages
they do in America.
People have denounced me as a
standpatter. I'll take you in my con-
fdence and tell you about it. 1 have
believed that when the country was
getting along all right that a revision
of the tariff would bring about short
production But the time for a re-
vision of the tariff has come and next
winter will see it accomplished either
by its friends or it's enemies"
Mr.. Cannon then went on to tell of
the meeting of the leaders of the party
called together by President Roosevelt
two years ago to decide on tariff re-
vision and it was Roosevelt himself
who decided that it was best to
wait until the winter session of 1908
and let the people decide at the cleo
ton preceding who they wanted to re-
wise the tariff for them.

Cannon"
In more serious vein Mr.. Cannon
told of the denunciation of Tom Reed
of Maine when the latter was speaker
and how the Maine statesman had
been justified even by his bitter enc
mics, the Democrats. He told of the
391 members of the house all clamor-
ing for recognition and of the 22,500
bills introduced at the last session.
Sometimes funny and then serious the
speaker presented mastery defense
of his conduct and shot many false
notions about himself 20 pieces He
gave a lot of inside information about
the house rules and manner of doing
business and the absolute dependence
of the speaker always on a majority of
the members to back him at all times.
He referred to the fight made upon
him by certain Methodist bishops and
its injustice as shown by Congressman
Littleheld's open letter.

ills. I speak of him respectfully, for

Postoffice Demonstrates Prosperity.
With the declaration that the post
office department was the thermo-
meter of the country's prosperity,
the speaker proceeded to give some
tremendous figures showing the
growth of this department since
Cleveland retired from public life, not
emitting the 40 millions spent for
rural delivery. He paused at this
point to pay a q. tribute to Mckinley.
"A woman once said to me: Mr.. Can

ourselves and the men, too. The

Indiana Legislature Answers the Gov.

Indianapolis. Ind. Sept. IA special
session Of the sixty-f1fth general as
sembly Of Indiana convened today I'M
der a call from Governor ]. Frank
Hanly to consider four subjects: "A
county local option bill;" a bill giving
the governor additional authority to
prevent destruction of property by
night riders in southern Indiana should
any be threatened; a bill to repeal a
grant made to the Vincennes univer-
sity of $4,000 by the last legislature.
and a bill to correct an error in a bill
passed by the last legislature by which
unexpended funds of state institutions
would revert to the general fund on
September 80.
The subject of absorbing interest is
the county option bill. which is favored
by the Republican platform and is be-
ing supported by Governor Hanly and
the Republican members with a few
exceptions and whether the bill will be
passed is problematical. Republican
campaign leaders opposed the calling
of the special session on the eve of a
general election, doubling the political
propriety of the action. The governor

nation and has been endorsed by

he declared that the farmers, who COM
posed one-third of our population, were
we'll off as ever and if they were
cautious in spending their money at
this time it was not because they did
not have plenty but that they were
waiting to see who won the election
next fall. He named overinvestment as
the cause of the panic, and cited the
railroads. the merchant. the manufac-
turer and the land buyer as among
those who took too deep plunge dur

Republicans in power twelve more
months and the times will be pros
porous as they were at the end of the
