Cannon Seeks Revenge.-Evidently
nettled at the strong showing made
against his rule by the alliance between
the Democrats and Republican insur-
gents, Speaker Cannon announced the
other day that he would not consult
Champ Clark, the minority leader az
to the appointment of Democrats or
committees. The Democrats had fore
stalled this by resolving that they
would not accept committee assign
ments without the consent OF Mr
Clark. Commenting on the situation
Mr.. Clark expressed himself as fol-
lows:
Originally the speaker had the pow
er and exercised it to appoint all com
mittees, both the majority and the mi
nority members. Under Speaker Reed
when Bailey of Texas, was the minor
ity leader, and under Speaker Hender-
son, | think that the minority leaders
were consulted a good deal regarding
the appointment of minority members
When Cannon was elected speaker ano
Williams minority leader, the speak
er conferred on the minority leader the
favor Of appointing minority members
on committees with one or two reser'
vations.
Now the speaker resumes the pow.
er of appointing the majority and mi
nority members on committees for the
purpose of Furnishing me, because
had the courage to fight certain thing:
that he wanted done. He has perfec
right to appoint the majority and MI
nority members and I'm not complain
ing about it, but his efforts to punish
me will be absolutely futile If his pur'
pose is to swerve me from the line o.
conduct which l think is for the wei:
| fare of the Democratic party, ant
| therefore of the country. COMMITTEES
assignments do not make and unmakt
men in the house of representatives.
had nothing whatever to do with the
appointment of the committees or
ways and means, and the committee or
rules and / would not have cared {
baubee if he had put me on the tail-ent
of the committee on ventilation anc
acoustics. Every man makes his owr
place in the house Of representatives
He did not give me my place and hi
can't take it away from me-"

SOUTH cARoLINA's FINANCES.
Senator MauIdin Thinks They Are In
Very Good Shape.

Very Good Shape.
The following is from the Columbia
Evening Record:
DR.. w. L. Mauldin Of Greenville, who
as chairman Of the senate finance COM
mittee, has been watching state A.
nances for many years, while here to-
day expressed himself in an optimistic
way about the present condition OF the
states finances. He does not agree
with the view that the habit the state
has gotten into Of borrowing from a
hundred or so thousands a year to half
a million, which latter sum will have
to be negotiated this year as was done
last year, Is bad policy.
True" said he, this entails an item
Of from $4,000 to $4,000 in interest
charges which would not have to be
spent were the state on cash basis
but 1t has the effect of holding these
fellows down in the legislature on the
appropriations. II they did not have
this obligation hanging over their
heads they would make every appro-
priation asked for, almost. Members
of the legislature for the most part are
not the large taxpayers and they have
no natural restraint. do not think II
altogether a wise policy to have the
state on a cash basis. And this money
that Is borrowed Is not a debt. 1t Is
an obligation with something definite
and tangible, the coming taxes, In view
to meet 1t. II we borrowed money
with nothing in sight to pay 1t that
would be a debt. You newspaper fel-
lows ought to get out OF the habit OF
calling this a debt.
And I certainly do not agree to the
proposition Of making the levy such
any one year as to meet this floating
debt and place the state on q cash ba-
sis at once" he continued. II did favor
half a mill as a sinking fund to take
care of this situation at one time, but
am not fully persuaded that even
that would be q wise course to pursue
It Is well for the state, as 1t Is well for
most individuals, to have an obligation
ahead to spur the peoples representa-
tives on to care and economy"
DR.. Mauldin does not agree with
Comptroller General Jones that the
assessments should be placed on
market value.
Raising the assessment will not re-
duce taxes or cause any more care tc
be exercised" said he "On the con-
trary experience has demonstrated ir
the counties and in the state as g
whole that increased assessments just
incite mere appropriations. The state
levy has for the past rs or 80 years
ranged between four and a fraction
and five and a fraction mills, although
within the past fifteen years or so the
valuation has gone UP from $175.000,-
900 to nearly $275.000.000. We have
practically the same levy now on al
most twice the valuation. And county
taxes and levies run about the same
way throughout the state.
"Oh, yes" he answered to another
question, "It would be very well to
have property better equalized, but
think this state will compare fayorably
with any other in that respect. ! an
yet to be introduced to the practical
plan by which 1t can be improved"

prizes or not.
A committee has been appointed
from the Union to raise by subscrip7
tions a fund to be offered as prizes:
This is a matter that should appeal
to the people of the city. The mer-
chants, bankers, manufacturers, law
yers, and all of the others Of the city
should contribute to the fund, so as to
make the prizes that will be ofrered
worth competing for.
All of us in the city are concerned
In the welfare of the farmers OF the

end by helping the Union to offer
handsome prizes for the largest yields

Anderson's Corn ContcSt.-1n our
opinion the decision to inaugurate the
corn growing contest is one of the best
things ever done by the Farmers un-

1t will inspire additional interest in
the Union, and benefit all of its MEM
bers by getting them interested in 9TH

The officers Of each local Union
should get as many of their members
as possible to enter the contest. Every

REINCARNATIoN FALLACP

Whether religion was born from the sleeping savage, from the animism or the lower races or from the unfolding law of evolution matters little to the solid thinker. It Is present in all bibles. and in connection with science, philosophy. and metaphysics 1t is ever struggling with the great problem of existence here and hereafter,
 The thoFey of retncarnation iIn- ported from India and generally repel- lent to science and the deeper psychic research has quite a number of be- lievers in the arena of modern thought And while not taught in the holy vedas l 1t Is almost universal as a belief among Hindus and Buddhlsts. The 70. .00O.Oo0 of India's Mohammedans re- ject it with seorn. pronoupcing it a mischIevous heresy, shishir Kanti Chose, a noted magazine editor of Calcutta, informed his readers a few months since that the doctrine of time"
 Whenever the theory was invented. reincarnation had nothing to do with original Theosophy as taught by it's founders while living and writing in America; but reaching India and sens 1 ing the Hindu pulse. they quickly became It's converts and advocates. It | Is an indtsputable Tact that the lbrightest young Hindus attending the the schools ana universities of India. and graduating later from univesaI. ties in Germany, or from Oxford and Cambridge. coming into relations with a higher science of thought and phil osophy, return to India relieved of that cumbersome burden that the re- surrected are doomed to return to babyhood through repeated rebirtha into the flesh. in order to reach hea- ven.
 At best reincarnation is 6 but quaint oriental speculation. Think of It. reincarnated again and again 10 battle with enticing temptations and vicious environments, with the possibility aye. the probabiiity---of sink ing deep CT into sin upon each bodily repiant, ing. And then a plurality of unre. membered past lives. however mum erous, with their experiences, couit not serve as preventives Of furtheI wrongs nor could they be incentiveI to virtue Shri Samangala of Colum bo, Ceylou. informed us that Gautamt Buddha passed through is.000 rebirth before attaining the exhltation of NIT vana.
 No array of great names is tn equivalent of demonstration, and 1t |
