Kansas City. Nov. 27.-"When Sem
ators Cummins, LaFollette, Bristow
and their so-called progressive fol-
lowing join hands with Mr.. Bryan in
making war upon republican members
OF congress who passed the tariff bill
and upon the president, who signed
1t. in that contest / know of only one
way to treat them .and that Is, to
fight them just as we fought Mr..
Bryan and his following"
Such was the declaration of Speak
er Cannon. who delivered the, princi-
pal address before the annual banquet
of the Knife and Fork club here last
night. Mr.. Cannon said Senator
Cummins alone had read himself out
of the republican party. He defend
ed the rules of the house saying they
would remain substantially as they
had been, and are. so long as there
was a congress.
Minority Always Fighting
Ever since history began said
the speaker, "the man in the minor
1ty has been seeking some device
by which he could overcome the will
of the majority"
Mr.. Cannon asserted that, while the
Payne tariff law was not perfect il
was the best ever passed under repub-
lican leadership; that, since the en-
actment in this country and imports
had greatly increased, and that day
by day conditions were improving
The "insurgents' and their follow
ers, he said, were seeking to hinder
the progress of prosperity by criti-
clsm and denunciation, and that this.
too, within three months of the pas
sage OF the tariff only such agitation
could halt the prospective era of pros
perity. he declared.
"The demagogue," said Mr.. Cannon,
eve have always with us and as ours
is government OF the people. the
only way to dispose of him is to move
on. l am perfectly willing to trust the
verdict of a prosperous and happy
people in the elections II, November,
1910, after the new tariff law has
been in operation for more than a
year"
Cannon Loses His Temper.
At the conclusion of his prepared
speech. Speaker Cannon indulged in
some extemporaneous remarks in
which he became vehement in his OBJ
lection to the attitude of a local pa
per toward him. He quoted the pa
per 9s stating today that Speaker
Cannon realized that his popularity
is on the wane," and declared in re-
sponse to that statement that in all
his long life he had never turned his
back upon friend, nor his face away
from an enemy
"Wll you print that?" he yelled
towards the press table, and added
81 am sorry the editor of the paper
H. not here to answer me himself"
Speaker Cannon deplored what he
explained as the custom of some
newspapers to mislead their readers
by an ingenious arrangement of head
lines and intimated that the support Of
newspapers was not always necessary
for the success of a man i'm public life
He cited recent elections in the Sixth
congressional district. where, he said,
the successful candidate was opposed
by leading papers of Chicago.
RidiCuling the charge that the
Payne tariff law was enacted for the
benefit of New England interests, the
speaker cited numerous statistics 10

Captain Nelson. for the Inter-Island
steamer Helene. has decided to stay
with the local company rather than
don the gold braid and accept the res
possibilities which go with the COM
mand of the lighthouse tender Kukui.
The chance of promotion in the Fed
eral job was nil and the raises in pay
so slow that it hardly looked good to
the local man, who is now getting a
better salary than the lighthouse SER
vice pays.
Lieut. Houston, the local lighthouse
inspector states that another civil SER
vice examination will be held, at which
the local shipping men who wish to try
for the position as the Kukuis cap
tain, will be given another chance
The examination will probably be call
ed for SOON, In the meantime Mate
Middleton is handling the tender.
