MR.. CANNON "BElzsBuBBINe. +"

When Mr. Cannon was in Iowa, on
that notable OCCASION he explained that
he didn't make the rules under which
he conducts his autocracy. that Tom
Reed made them and that he found
them and that he, Mr.. Cannon, acted
under them. He might have added that
he found them exceedingly adaptable
to his purposes and the purposes of
his political bedfellows, but he con-
tented himself by putting all the blame
on Tom Reed and previous congress-
men and posing as Prometheus bound
to the rock. Now he is over in Illinois
speaking here and there explaining that
he was simply bound hand and foot by
rules made and provided before he was
created speaker.
'The New York Tribune calls this
posing of the speaker "Belzebubbing'
1t describes Mr.. Cannon, standing be-
fore an audience and presenting himself
a "Belzebub,' asking them to locate his
horns. The Tribune finds this amusing
but sees Mr.. Cannon's object very
clearly. Mr.. Cannon when he sets the
farmers hunting for horns attracts
their attention from a great deal they
might find and that is evident enough
| The speaker, points out the Tribune,
is not the "obsequious servant" of the
people and the captive of the rules
tho he may not be a Belzebub" 1t
sees in the history of the Payne bill
that "Cannon's part in shaping the tarili
| legislation was not that of mere
mirror and agent of the houses will.
He seemed to be in many situations
more the principal than the agent"
! Concluding the Tribune says:
Something can be said for the
system which is now assailed as Can
nonism. Mr.. Cannon did not invent it,
i but he knows how to get out of it all
there is in it. Those who think that a
fairer and more representative system
can be devised are not TO be dispose
of by calling them allies of William J
Bryan. Cannonism and republican,
ism are not absolutely synonymous
and there can be no great profit to re-
publicanisln in trying to tell the peo-
pie Of the middle west that they are
now and ever shall be. Even failure
to vote in the house with Cannon's
organization for the PAYNE tariff bill
need not be regarded as absolute treas
on TO republican principles. Mr.. Can.
non told the people Of Elgin that James
r. Mann was the best legislator il
congress- But Mr.. Mann voted agains
, the Payne bill.
The speaker is a humorist as we'll a.
a statesman. We like to see him Belize
bubbing. 1t entertains the public ant
the public is in no danger of taking tn
enterta inment too seriously"

We receive a great many letters in the
course of the year in description of

that we do not get any similar letters
from Illinois, Kentucky, Pennsylvania,

come from localities seeking immigra-

are written by individuals just out OF

help advertise the land companies just
the same. II the newspapers would
quit publishing those letters without
pay the land agents would spend lots
more money with the papers in getting
the facts before the people. The Sen

Eliot on the BibIs.
IHartford Currant.l


When DIR. Charles w. Eliot recently
gave the public his ideas about the
coming religion, many good people
We're grieved and offended. They did
not like his ideas at all. They pro-
nounced them non biblical and nom
Christian-a stew Of natural religion
ESQ., called), philanthropy and Harvard
rationalism.
Earlier in the year Dr. Eliot was
asked by the Harvard Young Mems
Christian Association to talk about the
influence of the bible on the concep-
ton of spiritual life in man. The
talk, as taken down geographically
at the time and later revised by the
speaker himself, is published in this
weeks "Congregationalist." DR.. Eliot,
it appears. told those young christians
that the world owes to the bible not
only it's conception Of a spirit. a living
soul, in mans body, but other precious
conceptions as well-conscience, the
sense Of duty, love as function Of the
spiritual nature, life after physical
death, the hope of Immortality. us not
this an immense indebtedness!" he
asked.
1--WE cannot prove that man is OF two
parts, the body and the soul, but is
1T not sublime belief that we are two
fold, that there is something more Of
US than the body, that conscience, will
sense Of duty, love, heroism and self
sacrifice are genuine elements in hui
man nature. and are independent in
large measure of what we call for dis
tinction's sake the body?"
At the beginning of his talk DR. Eliot
said:
This book which we call the bible Is
from beginning to end semitic book
an oriental book-the whole Of it, no,
| the old testament only, but the new
| testament as we'll. 1t is oriental ir
i that 1t Is highly symbolic, 1t Is full o!
myths and parallels and of what WE
call tales and fables. It is semitic, full
from beginning to end of the one re-.
ligious idea which the Hebrew race has
propagated and is still propagatins
turnout the world-the monotheistis
idea. the idea of one God, infinite
/, omnipresent and spiritual.
AT the end of the talk he said:
We can not feel assured Of these in.
tangible things EXCEPT thru our ex'
perience Of life: and in our lives al
most all reasoning is moral reasoning
and not demonstrative reasoning. Blu
we live by moral reasoning. withou
gertrude. even in regard to materia
things. In the same way we live b.
moral reasoning, without what we cal
gertrude, with regard to spritiua
things. All the great lessons about .
spiritual life in man have come to u
from the bible. No wonder that w
regard 1t as sacred book; for thi
doctrine Of spiritual life, Of a spirit
ual part Of man, is the most sacret
thing which has been brought to belle
and hope in all the experience Of tn
human race.

JOE A CURIOSITY.
rCorrpll Harald I


Who is 1T that had the political fore
sight, forethought and fine political
insight that induced Speaker Cannon
to come to Knoxville? The perspective
revealed in hindsight now exposes a
piece Of tomfoolery and morbid reck-
lessness that must disturb the SUM
bers Of many politicians known to
fame. Uncle Joe is quite curiosity
and ought to draw as big a crowd as
Ringlings' circus, but why did not the
politicians resort to some other form of
drawing power? 1t was poor bit of
politics and foolish piece of busi-
ness.

Hebrew and Christian ,ntermarri.s..

Hebrew and Christian intermarriags.
| Rev. DR.. Stephen S. Wise preached
at the Free Synagogue in West Eighty
| first street on intermarriage. He took
! most emphatic stand against inter-
marriage Of Jews and Christians.
'Intermarriage Is not problem
| it is a fact" he said. "And It is not as
serious as some think. In the Scandina-
Wan countries, in one out Of every
three Of four marriages Of Jews. 1t 10
| an intermarriage with q Christian.
Among the Jews Of Germany about one
| in five of the mon marries Christian.
and about one in six Of the women. In
the United States the proportion 10
much less.
| 'It has been said that IL there were
to be a great increase in these inter-
marriages it would eliminate the pre-
JUDGE against the Jew. It would do
more-lt would eliminate the Jew.
| But my objection Is based not mere
ly on that account, but on fear OF the
| loss and harm chat would accrue to
, Christendom and to Christianity as q
result. Christianity usually loses the
Christian in such a union, and almost
never gains the Jew. In marriage there
should be maximum of oneness, a
minimum of dissimilarity and indiffer-
ence.
"And then there is the danger to the
children who are the fruit Of intermar
riages, the danger that comes from
having no fixed spiritual home-neither
here nor there.
81 am opposed to the passing Of Jul
daism. Christianity itself needs this
great spiritual world force which We
may continue to be. I am opposed te
intermarriage, not because I am anti
Christian. but because I am pro-Jew-

what 30 70 make up the mans charac-
ter. I agree that there are many men.
and great many of them hope, who
are better than they seem to their
families, and that whom the exigencies
arise they do betray and show forth
elements OF strength Of character that
ought to commend them to their fellow
citizens and to their families.
"But it does seem a. II they were de-
priving their families and their neigh
bors of something In not living up to
that standard in little things as we'll
as in big things: and the truth Is that
If we yield to negligence in the little
things, il we yield to the motnentary
desire to be lazy and not attentive and
not courteous to every one, so as to
make every one feel as comfortable az
possible during the day, we are going
to cut down that higher character that
we assume to have under greater
exigencies when we are showing forth
its strength.
'Now another corollary from the text
which I would like to draw Is that we
ought to ascribe to our neighbors and
to those with whom we come In contact
or with respect to whose action we
have to express an opinion as high mo-
tives as we can. We ought to avoid
this acrimonious discussion that con-
signs everybody who is opposed to our
view to perdition and to having the
most corrupt motives, and ascribes to
those who stand with us only the
purest motives. Life is too valuable to
waste in anger and the denunciation
of our fellow men when they don't de.
serve it."
