Religious Patriotism.

THE patriotism held by you men here
tonight was a patriotism that pressed
you to the point of self-forgetfulness
and self-sacriice until you were able to
confront with faces unpaled the belching
fire Of artillery and the blaze Of musketry
That was a religious patriotism that
made you fear TO disregard Gods truth.
or rebel against His leadership. The
result was victory perched upon your
banners. So it was with Washington
and his band OF heroes who conquered
the combined forces of Great Britain
The tramp Of steady columns, as from
time to time our armies have gone forth
to battle. has been but the heavy foot
falls of Jehovah marching on TO the
fulfllment Of His eternal purposes with
us among the nations"

acted into a hg, or else there must be
Two or three roll calls in each branch be-

SAYS CANNON Is A L E9POi
An attack on the power ofthe Speaker
was made in the House Of Representa-
tives yesterday by Mr.. shackelford, Of
Missouri, during the consideration Of
the urgent deficiency appropriation
bill. He said Speaker Cannon was the
"ablest, boldest champion of sutocracy
this age has produced" aud declared
that the Speaker exercised ia greater
despotism than exists in any monarchy
10 Europe"
Speaker Cannon at this juncture en-
tered the chamber and, amid republican
applause, took r seat in front of Mr..
Shackelford, who asserted that before
any bill could pass ''you must bend your
noble bodies forward in proper pose, fold
your hands and say: 'Oh Lord, Uncle
Joe, Thy will be done snd not mine"
He challenged Speaker Cannon "to
rise II his place, not ss Speaker, but as
member Of the i fiinl;SScis delegation, and
tell US how and when it was be shout
dered the responsibility for the legisla-
ton that was to be here enacted by sim
ply becoming moderator Of this delibera-
tive assembly,"
Speaker Cannon laughed.
Mr.. Shackelford protested against the
policy Of "one-man power" as in viola
ton of the law, and urged the members
"to break down this autocracy and the
rules in order that the peoples represen-
tltiyes may do the things they want
done y
