Speaker Cannon
At Knoxville
Says That the Payne Bill is All Right and Says That it
is Decidedly Expensive to the Country to
Take up Further Revision

The meeting was called to order by
Cam Culbertson, who introduced Con-
gresham j. A. T. Hull as the chair
man of the day after the entire audi
ence had Joined in singing America"
Mr. Hull spoke briefly, paying his re-
spects to the critics of President Taft
and declaring that Mr.. Cannon is the
most benevolent GEAR" he has known
in sixteen years. experience as con-
gresham Then he introduced Mr..
Cannon to the audience and the ad,
dress of the day was begun. Mr. Can
non said in part:
Mr.. Chairman and Citizens: |
come as citizen of the state of
Illinois, citizen of the United States,
a believer in the policies of the Re-
publican party, to look the citizens of
Iowa in the face and take counsel
with them as to what is best to be
done now and in the future for the
benefit of all the people. Mistaken |

an unknown land to save to those who
journeyed to it. Since that time what
has happened? Your state and others
have had bad years and good years.
The loyalty of the citizenship in this
country has wrought out marvellous
results. They did not happen by
virtue of one man or by virtue of a
million men, but by the virtue OF the
whole citizenship.

Cooperation a Necessity.

Church, lodge, township. county
state and national governments were
never established without co-opera-
ton. What is true of the church is
true of all organizations. There must
be charity and cooperation or civiliza-
ton cannot endure. This is true al
SO of the political organizations.
There are people in Illipois-of course
there are none in Iowa-people who
get out and say Il won't cooperate;
am the only proper leader Such
fellow gets off in a corner and fiocks
by himself. He aids in none of the ma
! tons progress. Thank God. there ara
enough people in the United States
who will cooperate, each concedlne
something, in order that the whole
people may gain some desired end.

| tariff bills and other legislation, ane
so you must choose people to go ant

The Reed Congress.

In the Fifty-first congress, which
is often called the Reed congress-,
Mills of Texas. proclaimed that the Re
publicans had only FIVE majority in
the house. He proclaimed that the
minority was so strong that he con-
ceived the plan of rendering useless
the Republican majority by a plan for
the Democrats to refuse to vote, leav-
ing the opposition, with less than a
for new legislation. The constitution
provides that quorum shall consist
of majority of the house, and the
same provision applies to the senate.
Reed said it was not necessary on
roll call that quorum should vote.

tfves that was all that was necessary.
He also said that If there were any
there who were not voting he would
order their names printed in the jour-
nal as present and not voting.

When the court came to order again,
Lightfoot resumed, but the court re-
fused to allow him to get the whole
translation before the jury. Lightfoot
claimed that Kinney's question of the
witness was misleading. 81 deny that
he can split up question into two and

overruled by the Judge and Kline,
allowed To so ahead IL his own way
Farther on in the cross examination
Kinney drew from the witness the adj
mission that Sheba and other .sveo
plants had been s.taiii-ed,, ans
bukumetzu-ed and excluded from
society IN accordance with his own ad
vice and that of Maxine and Negoro
: because they were enemies to the
japanese community -
Kinney took up the subject of the
Japanese word which has been trans
lated sycophants, because. as Prof,
Denlng said, the literal translation is
TOO obscene for utterance Sega denied
that 1t has any obscene meaning. but
ciaimed chat word closely resembling
1t has such meaning. 1t was in this
connection that Lightfoot made state
ment IN defense of his witness that
drew from Kinney the remark: 81
wonder how long learned counsel would
iast IN our society with such words on
his lips
Sega admitted having. through the
columns of the Jill, invited the laborers
to make up lists of sycophants' and
send them in to the paper. He would
not say THAI this was in line with the
pollcy of the Higher Wage Association,
put he thought it necessary in the in
teresr of the higher wage movement.
Kinney asked him how many such
names he had received, and Sega salt
he did not know.
SO you have never counted up the
harvest from your advice to the labor
ers to make up these listss demanded
Kinney.
The witness said he had not.
And you have never cared to do
500
81 have not.
Witness said he took it that the
preparation of these lists was an evi
dence OF patriotism on the part of the
laborers.
What kind of patriotism, Hawaiian
or Japanese?" asked Kinney.
Hawaiian replied the witness.
'Will you permit us to vote or
whether or not we want that kind OF
patrlotism?" asked Kinney sarcastic
ally.
81 don't mind counsel arguing tt
the jury if he will give US warning il

he makes me nervous.
Kinney advised counsel for the de
tense to 60 out and take a bath if h,
were nervous.
Replying to an objection made b,
Lightfoot to question asked of tn
witness, Kinney said: "We eontent
that these men are conducting a news
paper and campaign of intimidation
and they would naturally be guarde,
in their expressions, would use veile'
threats, double meanings; otherwis
they would be in danger of having TIL

TIightfoot Attacked.

Two or three times yesterday the
strained relations between opposing
counsel became apparent. Kinney on
one occasion insinuated that Lightfoot
was not fit company for decent society
and another time Lightfoot got back
by suggesting that if Kinney had his
way, all the japanese would be work
ing on the plantations for about ten
dollars year. Kinney said that if

A meeting of lodges of Knights of

Delegates to attend this meeting
have been appointed by the four
lodges in the city. and Milton, Bag
dad, Century, DeFuniak Springs and
Jay are expected TO have delegates.
The Milton and Bagdad delegation
are coming down on a boat, and from
all reports will have a large crowd.
This is very important meeting,
in view of the fact that the Grand
Lodge, which meets in Miami early
in March, viii have to consider some
important changes in Pythian law,
and these district meetings are
schools of preparation. where these
matters are discussed and the senti-
ment of Pythians generally made
known. 1t is to be hoped that "a large
percentage of the grand lodge repre-
sentatiVes be present.
The committee on arrangements
will have everything in readiness to
entertain the visitors, and a good
time is promised those who attend.

DUMONT WRITES
To STILLMAN
Thinks Railroad Project Will
Soon Be in Good
Shape.

In a letter to John Z. Stillman,
dated February 3, p. d. Dumont, the
promoter of the two railroad projects
upon which he and the Pensacola
syndicate have been working for sew
eral years, writes:
I expect that you will hear from
us in a very short while-I mean in
three or four weeks at the Iatest-as
we will certainly have the matter
closed at that time"
1t begins to look as though some
hurried figuring is now being done in
railroad circles and as several diff
ferent interests are doing the figuring
-PensacOIa's chances for a new road
are reasonably bright.
