in a low voice. with suppressed fury
-"since you did your best to give

Hume was momentarily taken aback

PROMOTED TO CoMMANDANT.

After q faithful service of 10 years
as Adjutant of the Soldiers Home at
Chelsea, Mass. Comrade Richard r.
Foster has been promoted to Superin-
tendent to fill the vacancy caused by
the death of Col. Charles w. Hapgood
Comrade Foster was born in Ipswich,
Mass, in 1912. and promptly enlisted
in the 18th Mass, in which he served
continuously until May Is, 1864, when
he was captured and confined at An
dersonville, Milien, Savannah and Flor
ence. being paroled from Goldsboro in
March, 1865. Returning home, he re-
sumed his trade as n shoemaker, and
then was in the railroad business and
conducted news and stationery store
until Feb. IT. 1890, when he was ap-
pointed Adjutant of the Soldiers Home.
At that time there were only las in
mates, where there are now $50. Com
rade Foster is succeeded as Adjutant
by Comrade Fred p. Bradford, who has
been an accountant at the Home for
two and one-half years. He was born

INSPECTING THE MISSISSIPPI.

The progress of the President down
the Mississippi River win be watched
with intense interest. AT one time the
Mississippi River was the main high
way of all the great interior of the coun-
try, and from as far west as the yell
lowstone and as far east as Pittsburg
people sent their products to market
by 1t. 1t was relatively more important
then than all the railroads now in the
country. Since then it has shrunken
in importance in the most astonishing
way. The latest reports give less than
100000 tonnage upon it a year, which
must be largely made up of coal bargeS
and steamers doing a local trade. It
is past understanding how this magniff-
cent waterway, the finest in the world,
has dwindled to so little use, while in
all the progressive countries of Europe
they are improving their waterways and
making them of more and more value
to the business of the country. France,
Germany and England are each spend.
ing many million dollars each year in
the improvement of their internal wat
erways. The business of the countries
demands it and each expenditure is said
to bring ample returns upon the in
vestment.
The Mississippi River is inconceiva-
bly, larger and ministers to an incon-
ceivably larger proportion of country
than any of the streams in Europe
incredible that it is not made far more
valuable to the country than 1t now is.
1t is hoped that the visit of the Presi-
dent will bring peoples minds together
and involve some way of utilizing. in
proportion to its magnitude, our mag
nificest Father Of Waters"

SPEAKER CANNON.

There are people to whom 1t seems
something all the time. and for want
Of something else these are now pour
Speaker Cannon To any thinking man
this is highly absurd. Speaker Cannon
has always done only what his duty re-
quired him to do. and he has executed
that duty in a high-minded way with
the fullest regard for the interests Of
the country and for the responsibilities
of his office. All who know the facts
recognize in him one of the ablest of
the many very able men who have held
that great position. Tho Speaker of
the House of Representatives must
necessarily be positive and inexorable.
majority in the House of Representa-
tives is charged with doing certain
things in every session, and 1t is held
responsible for the performance of that
duty. The Speaker is selected by the
majority as the executive to see that
this duty is properly performed. and he
must execute 1t as resolutely and un-
waveringly as General conducts a
battle. The whole force Of the majority
must be brought to bear upon the duty
in hand, the stragglers rounded up.
plan of action thoroly considered and
agreed upon by all and then everyone
made to do his part in carrying it out.
Every Speaker who has presided over
the House of Representatives has been
subjected to abuse in proportion to the
vigor and effectiveness with which he
executed the duty intrusted to him. We
all remember how Speaker Thomas b.
Reed, who was one of the greatest in
the history of the country, was con-
demned even more infiammatorily than
Speaker Cannon from one end Of the
country to the other. and how in many
places it was loudly threatened that
If he could be gotten hold of he would
be hanged. We remember particularly
how the Kentuckians were wrought I'D
against him and the Kentucky papers
Illuminated that IL he could ever he

tainly he hanged. La the midst of this

Sell to them raw products which they
buy from us because they can not buy
them cheaper anywhere else, while the
things they sell US are those on which
they make great profit. For example,
the bulk of our exports to those coun-
tries is made up of wheat, cotton and
pork products, upon which the profit is
quite moderate, and which are bought
from US because they can not be gotten
cheaper anywhere else. On the other
hand they sell to us fancy cottons,
wines, coal tar colors, millinery goods,
etc, upon which the profit is very
great It is true we pay a big price

best in the world. Still. with some en-
eouragement, our own workmen should
produce them. and the French and Ger
mans have to be careful how far they
go lest they give that encouragement.

NOT EASILY UNDERSTOOD.

The following Associated Press dis
patch from Savannah, Ga, dated Oct.
23. Is a little difficult for those OF US
who were at Andersonville to under
stand; II
col. James II. Fannin. who was
close friend of Capt. Henry Wirz and
was the principal witness for Wirz at
bis trial, died suddenly of heart failure
on a street car here this morning. Col
Fannin commanded the 1st Regiment,
Geargia Reserves. c. S. A.. during the
civil war. The funeral will be held at
Lagrange, his former home, next Mon
day.
"Col. Fannin in 1853 was Command
ant of the post at Andersonviile, Ga,
and while holding that command saved
Father Whelan. of Macon, from death
in the stockade and received the thanks
of the Pope through Bishop Verot for
his timely aid to the Catholic priest.
He fought in the battle of West Point,
Ga. and was taken prisoner and or
dered put in irons, but escaped through
the intervention OF Gen. Lagrange, of
the Union army"
Apparently Col. Fannin commanded
one OF those regiments of boys and old
men whom the Confederate soldiers
spoke OF as "Joe Browns Pets" and
were 80 wantonIy murderous in shoot
ing prisoners who ventured near the
dead line. The dispatch says that Col.
Fannin commanded the Post at Ander-
sonvllle in 1868. OF course, everybody
knows that Andersonvllle was not es-
tablished as a prison until February.
1864. Still more inexplcable is the
statement that he saved Father Whelan,
of Macon, from death inside the stock
ade. 1t has always been understood
that the devoted Catholic Priest who
ministered to the prisoners during that
time was Father Hamilton, Of Macon,
and it is simply impossible to UNDER
stand how he could have been in any
danger of violence while in the stock
ade. He was loved and admired by all
the prisoners there, no matter what
was their religious faith, and any sug-
gestion of insult, much less of violence
to the reverend gentleman who was
showing so much self-sacrifice would
have brought at once thousands of
defenders. The story needs whole lot
of explanation of the most convincing
character.

RAILROAD BATTING.

President Taft has distributed cold
common sense pretty liberalIy during
oil his speeches in the West. ana at
Gregory, Texas. he gave aut chunk
of this in regard to railroad harassing.
sayingr
"p am not in favor OF drastic Iegisia-
ton against railroads, except such as
fs necessary to keep them within the
law and to keep their rates reasonable
THE truth is We want to encourage
our railroads. We will rush, 10000 of
us. in a County, TO vote bonds Tor
railroad If ii only will come in. Then
it comes in, and after time you won't
find a friend of that railroad in that
County, except, perhaps, the local coun-
ISel.
Then you will proceed to legislate
and you will do injustice to that rail-
road, but after while, after you have
done injustice to the point where you
don't get the proper accommodations
and where you drive them into sys-
TEN of economy that does not build up
your County, you finally begin to real
izc that the only good policy, as well as
the only honest policy, is a square deal
to the railroad so as to give them the
rates they ought to have and not allow
popular prejudice to deprive them of
reasonable profit on the investment, in
Guiding the risk that they made when
they went into the business"
This is the plain Methodist Episcopal
of the whole business. No man Of sense
wants to destroy tho railroads or i'm
pede their operation in any way. The
agitators against the railroads. like the
10 1yy
windy declaimers, and dangerous as far
as their infammatory utterances are
taken seriously. Railroads are simply
vital to the development of the country,
and as an ordinary proposition we
should do everything to encourage their
building and profitable operation. 1t
is foolish to the last degree to do other
wise. At the same time railroads, like
trusts. are greedy, and unless held
strongly in check will become exorbi-
tant and oppressive. There is where
regulation and restriction should be
well considered, deliberate and adapted
to the ends in view. That is, of care
fully defending the rights of the public
and the duties and responsibilities of
the railroads as common carriers serv-
ing the public. Legislation based on
frothy oratory is Of the greatest danr
ger in arresting the extension of the
railroad systems and preventing the
people having the service that it is
highly desirable that they should have.
When the President says that shortly
after the construction of much desired
railroad it VIII probably not have a
friend in the County. he might have
added with truth that most of the enc
mics it has made have been richly
earned by the greed and injustice of
the men who will run the road. We
have a fresh illustration OF this ra-
pacity of the railroads in their advanc-
ing the rates on lemons to exactly meet
the rise in the duties for which the
lemon growers worked so hard before
Congress. The spectacle would be
humorous il 1t We're not aggravating of
the railroads watching the lemon grow
ers work themselves into fever to get
a duty added upon lemons and then
quietly stepping in and snatching all
this benefit away from them.
