LEGISLATORS Should Not Be BuIldozed.

If Senator Brandegee succeeds in
winning a reelection as United States
senator it will be on Of the most no.
table victories Of its kind in the his
tory Of the state. The forces which
are arrayed against him have not
hesitated to resort to about all Of the
trickeries and some of the treacheries,
regardless Of fairness; and the haying
to which he has been subjected by
some of the most prominent members
of his party have been heartless if not
INSCRIPTIONS. 1t is sincerely to be
hoped that the members Of the legis-
lature Of 1909 will not permit them
selves to be bulldozed in the manner
which is being attempted. 1t Is re-
grettable that the friends Of Mr.. Hill
saw fit to stooD to such methods. They
are a reflection on usually high party
standards Mr.. Hill, surely, would
not have sanctioned such a course hal
he been able to dictate the limitations
of the contest. His sense of fairness,
justice and honor is credited with be-
ing of a high order.-Ansonia Senti-

Here is an extract from an essay.
written by boy in a London school
Clothing is an article which every
body should wear. The least of this
article Is worn by savages or natives,
which Is piece of cloth or a few
leaves or feathers round the waist. in
cold countries, same as Eskimos, the
people wear more clothes than we do,
count of the icy cold out there. Tho
can skate all the year round, except
about one thaw there is in summer.
II they walked about like natives they
would catch cold directly and die of
bronkitis. We put clothes on which
are nearly like our bodies, some have
caps, coats and trousers, but women
and girls wear hats and frocks to tell
who they are"

Home AGAIN,

Havana, Cuba. The American
congressional committee which has
been Inspecting the Panama canal ar
rived here from Colon ON the steamer
Cristobol. They were received by
President Gomez and sailed for New
York
Members of the committee said they
all were greatly pleased with the
progress of work on the canal and be-
lieved it probable that the channel
would be completed and open for traf
fic in advance of the estimated date.
Senator Coe /. Crawford, of South
Dakota, said all the members of the
committee were highly impressed by
the splendid work of Col. Goethals,
chairman of the canal commission and
chief engineer of the work. They were
convinced, he said, of the desirability
of the passage of the bill of Mr.. Mann
of Illinois, which passed the house dur
ing the last session of congress. This
bill Is designed to reduce the number
of canal commissioners and simplify
the administration, which would give
Col Goethals a freer hand.

GAUNTLET IN sPEEch AT

NO USE FOR INSURGENTS

Cumnains, La Toilette, Eristcw,
Clark Severely Scored.

Kansas City.--"when Senators Cam
minis, LaFollette, Bristow and their
so-called progressive" following join
hands with Mr.. Bryan in making war
upon the Republican members of con
gress who passed the tariff bill and
upon the president, who signed 1t, IN
that contest know Of but one way to
treat them. and that is to fight them
just as we fight Mr.. Bryan and his
following"
Such was the declaration of Speaker
Cannon, who delivered the principal
address before the Knife and Fork
club here. Mr.. Cannon said Senator
Cummins alone had read himself out
of the Republican party. He defend
ed the rules of the house saying they
will remain substantially as they have
been and are so long as there is a
congress. Ever since history began"
said the speaker, the man In the
minority has been seeking some de-
vice by which he could overcome the
will of the majority"
Mr.. Cannon asserted that while the
Payne tariff law is not perfect it is
the best one ever passed under Re-
publican leadership, that since the en-
actment OF the new law, production in
this country and imports from foreign
countries have greatly increased, and
day by day conditions are improving
The insurgents" and their followers
he said, are seeking to hinder the pro-
gress of prosperity by criticism and
denunciation and this, too, within
three months of the enactment of the
tariff law. Only such agitation can
halt the prospective era of prosperity,
said the speaker.
Continuing Mr.. Cannon said: "The
demagogue We have always with us.
and as ours is government of the
people, the only way to dispose of him
is to move on. am perfectly willing
to trust the verdict of a prosperous
and happy people in the elections in
November, 1910, after the new tariff
law has been in operation for over a
year."

Rider Case.

Union City, Tennessee.-One juror
dismissed from the box and his
place filled, is the progress made here
so far in the trial of Garrett Johnson
and Arthur Cloar, two alleged leaders
of the Reel Foot Lake night riders.
Attorneys for the state and defense
intimated that they did not believe
they would be able to secure a Jury
to try the defendants, who are
charged with the murder of Capt.
Quentin Rankin, a member of the
West Tennessee Land Company.
Under the laws of Tennessee the
state cannot ask for a change of venue
and the cases against Johnson and
Cl0ar, along with the indictments
against alleged night riders, will prob
ably be dismissed or retired from the
courts docket should 1t be found i'm
possible to secure a jury.
The case was tried once before and
a conviction secured, which was re-
versed by the U. S. Supreme Court.
