Mr.. Bryan, Immediately after
his nomination, made the asser-
ton that he would not be can
didate for reelection if success
full this time. 1t will be noticed,
however, that the pledge was not
very emphatic and several strings
may be attached to it. However,
it is not apprehended that there
will ever be any occasion to refer
to it hereafter.

READY FOR THE MONEY BILLS
LAW REQUIRES ESTIMATES IN
ON OR BEFORE OCTOBER IS.
James c. Courts, Clerk of House Ap-
preparations Committee, Waiting
for Annual Figures.

Representative Tawney of Minnesota,
chairman of the House committee on ap-
preparations, is very anxious that the
preliminary work on the appropriation
bills which will be considered at the COM
ing session of Congress be completed by
the first Monday in December, when the
written several letters recently to James
committee. inquiring as to the present
status of the estimates.
The law on the subject requires that
all regular estimates for appropriations
to be presented to Congress shall be in
the hands of the Secretary of the Treas
ury on or before October 10 of each year.
Before he left Washington to look after
the fences in his district Mr.. Tawney
wrote to Secretary of the Treasury Cor
telyou asking that everything possible be
done to expedite the preparation of the
estimates SO that they might be in the
hands of the appropriation committees of
Doth houses on or before the date fixed
by law. No penalty is provided for vio-
latlons: Mr. Cortelyou sent a copy of
Mr. Tawney's communication to the
heads of the various executive depart
ments in Washington.
In the course of a week or SO Mr..
Courts and Kennedy Rea. assistant clerk
OF the Senate committee on appropria-
lions, will have completed the prelimi-
nary work on which they are at present
engaged and will be ready to take up
the annual estimates. If the figures are
not in their hands it will delay matters
very much and probably result in the
necessary preliminary work on the bills
being incomplete when Congress meets.
AS this is the short session of Congress,
it is particularly desired that the figures
be sent in on time and, if possible. before

Assistant Secretaries Reynolds and
Coolidge have broken the customs and
traditions of the Treasury of years stand
ing.
Hereafter they will sign all warrants
as Coolidge" or Reynolds" leaving OH
the cumbersome initials.
1t is a terrific job that of signing
Treasury warrants. There are hundreds
of them day. Sometimes they run into
the thousands.
The job is supposed to belong to the
Secretary of the Treasury. That official
has for years imposed 1t upon one of the
assistants, who is deputized as acting sec
rotary.
II has been ruled by legal authorities
that the warrants cannot be stamped with
the names of acting secretaries. There
fore it must be hand job.
Reynolds and Coolidge started out by
signing their full names, James B. Rey-
nolds." or Louis A Coolidge" Each
found his mistake and gradually short
ened the name to the initials. even leav-
ing off the periods.
They put their heads together and came
to the conclusion that the plain name was
sufficient. Their view has been upheld by
the law officer Of the department.

CANNON SPEAKS ON LABOR
COMPARES WAGES HERE WITH
PAY RECEIVED ABROAD.
Tells of the Wonderful Growth Of
Industries and Discusses
the Tariff.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, September %
Speaker Joseph G. Cannon OF the ma
tional House Of Representatives formally
opened the republican national campaign
in Indiana last night in an address on
Labor before a great crowd that filled
Tomlinson Hall to overlooking.
Mr.. Cannon began with a scriptural
quotation:
g In the sweat of thy face shalt thou
eat bread all the days Of thy life.' was
the fat of the Almighty. 1 shall talk
to you as one who labors to others who
labor. and take counsel with you what is
best to do as We labor and rule because
it rests upon all of us to rule. The ig-
norant man. the prejudiced man is not
always good ruler, but the wise man,
the man of experience, when he comes
to deposit his ballot divesting himself OF
prejudice and conscientiously performing
that sovereign act, is a good citizen. All
cannot agree each with the other. but by
discussing in the light of experience We de-
termine the best policies. and when a ma
jority speaks. until 1t speaks again, the
policies of the majority control
Mr. Cannon then recalled conditions In
Lincoln's time. the situation in the south,
the determination of the slave owners to
keep the laborers in ignorance and In
bondage, the strong sympathy of the
north Tor the labOrerS who were less Tor
tunate, the secession from the Union by
the southern land owners and the call by
Lincoln for troops. Then MIR. Cannon
told of the Anticipated firearms possessed
by the people. of the building of factories
to produce guns of modern type and how
1t was not long until skilled labor Of the
north turning out implements of war
fare, was equal to the best made any
where in the world.
Since that time said Mr. Cannon.
"our labor. still being skilled in farm and
in factory and in the mines. has made us
the greatest producing nation on earth.
There is another wonderful story. Our
labor. through all this period. with rare
exceptions, the most noted one continuing
from 1893 to 1897. has received upon rail-
ways. in the mines. the factories and on
the farm 50. where similar labor else
where in the world received 81
Mr.. Cannon then discussed the tariff.
