cUMMINs RoAsTs CANNON
Declares Central Bank Idea is Bad
and Ridicules Cannon.

Chicago, Nov. 6.-Denouncing and
ridiculings the attacks upon him and
other insurgents made by Speaker Jo-
seph G. Cannon, United States Senator
Albert B. Cummins, of Iowa, in an adj
dress before the Marquette Club here
tonight delivered his reply to the as
sailants of his position and incidentally
took issue with the Republican regu-
lars" on many important questions.
He cited particularly the address of
Speaker Cannon, delivered at Elgin,
ILL.,, recently in which Uncle Joe' at
tempted to read Cummins and other in
surgents out of the Republican party
and declared that neither Cannon,
Payne, Aldrich nor anyone else was
qualified to OUTLAW the insurgents. The
efforts of "Uncle Joe" in this direction
he characterized as nonsense Of so sub
lime degree that itprovokes not de-
bate but derision !"
Senator Cummins also denounced in
unmeasured terms the central bank idea
as proposed by United States Senator
Aldrich and indorsed by President Taft.
"Any plan which subjects the volume
of our currency to the power and judg-
ment of a few men," he declared, is
bad and would enslave the financial
world as completely as some parts OF
the industrial field are now held in
bondage"
Senator Cummins' address was deliv
cred at banquet given by the Mar
quette Club, at which he was the guest
of honor. He said in part:
A month ago distinguished son of
Illinois came to Iowa obviously angry
and therefore in one of his hysterical
moods. He made speech ostensibly
in defense of the House of Representa-
tiyes, but which was, in fact, an as
sault upon those who had opposed the
Republican majority in Congress upon
the tariff measure. Not content with
burning us at the stake, he scattered
our ashes to the four winds in order to
make sure that we would be lost to the
Republican party forever and ever. He
exsted me to a pre-eminence among
tt ~ insurgents which / do, not de-
serve but which | would be proud to
occupy, and declared, with vehemence
which you who know him will apprecl-
ate, that l had become an ally of GER
tain eloquent gentleman whose quad
rennial business has been to carry the
Democratic banner to overwhelming de-
feat. Warming to his work, he made
another speech few days ago at Elgin,
in which he repeated in all the colors OF
the rainbow phraseology the denuncia-
ton of those who committed the horrid
crime of voting against the tariff bill,
and again consigned them to the lowest
depths of Democratic perdition; and
then to completely satisfy his lust for
blood, he assigned to Senator LaFollette
and myself superheated chamber in
this region of the damned. With all
these imprecations, expulsions and ex-
Examinations still ringing in my ears,
feel like member of the fated brigade
of which the poet sang:
Cannon to tie right of them,
Cannon to the left of them,
volleyed and thundered."
Mr. Cummins said the crusade which |
he intends to strengthen with all for a |

CONSTANTLY ENcRoACHING.
The three under present conditions are
constantly crossing each others trail
and duplicating each others work. The
President in all of his speeches has
made it clear, however, that the legiti-
mate corporations have nothing to fear
from him; that he proposes no CAM
paign against them His message will
contain something reassuring along this
line. as in his addresses:
"We could not get along without cor
poratons. They are necessary lnstru-
ment in the business of the country.
But we give them privileges SO they
must recognize the responsibility with
which they exercise power and we must
take the means of compelling them to
recognize that responsibility and tokeep
them within the law.
The narrowing of the scope OF the
Sherman antitrust law is another recon-
mendation that will be charged with the
possibility of trouble in Congress Mr..
Taft will recommend that its applica-
ton be limited to commissions and con-
spiracies to suppress competition and
establish monopolies He would draw
the line between reasonable and unrea-
sonable restraints of trade and enable
business men to continue.
What is legitimate business and
what is not?" The President has ac-
knowledged that such an amendment
of the antitrust act as he proposes will
exempt boycots from its operation.
The President will point out IN his mes
sage that he would be the last person
to recommend special legislation in fa-
yor of the labor unions, but that he
does not believe that Congress intended
originally to include them in the oper-
alton of the law.

ON INJUNCTI0Ns.

The message also will contain recon-
mendaton for legislation relating to the
issuing of injunctions as promised in
the Republican national platform. The
President will make several definite sug-
gestions for the continuance and eXten-
sion of the administration cOnserya-
ton and reclamation policy. He will
recommend relief for some of the prof.
ects that have been suspended because
of the iIlegality of the undertaking.
His conservation program also will in
clude continued control by the govern
ment of its water-power sites and of
the coal, oil and phosphate lands in
such a way as to prevent the use of
these natural resources by monopolies.
The President will urge the establish
ment of postal savings banks. There
will be no definite recommendation in
this message for monetary legislation,
and it is uncertain yet whether Senator
Aldrich's commission will be ready to
report at this session. President Taft
has indicated on his trip that he is not
in favor of leaving the postal savings
bank question to be considered and
worked out when the general monetary
reform legislation comes up, as Senator
Adrich and others suggest.
The President has indicated that he
favors Senator Aldrich's central bank
idea. but he will not be ready to give it
his full Endorsement until all the details
are before him.
AS to inland waterways, there is no
likelihood of anv radical recommends
ton. The Mississippi River boosters
will be disappointed, for the President
in his message will go no further than
he didin his speeches that he delivered
on the memorable cruise down the river.
Mr. Taft will insist that no inland water
way improvement shall be undertaken
until engineers have approved its FEAST
bility and determined its cost. He will
insist, too, that the improvement shall
stand the test of business common sense;
and second, whether the business men
would avail themselves of the oppor-
tunitv of water transportation if it we're
offered In other words, the President
will emphasize his stand against the
pork barrel" method of distributing
water Improvements. When the con-
ditions warrant the improvements the
President will be in favor of issuing the
bonds and pushing the work
to completion as rapidly as possible.
ctrrD crrDcrDrpC
The President will recommend ship
subsidies, especially for the develop
ment of lines on the Pacific and on the
Atlantic between American and South
American ports. He has suggested that
the Sc, 900, 900 or s7,0o0,000 annual
profit on foreign mails might be ap-
piled to subsidies as an experiment.

never entirely recovered her reason

lives in seclusion, having no friends
and never receiving visitors.

Two Boy KINGS.

One is a sad little Persian boy,
Latest and least of an inbred line;
The other is romping In riotous Joy
Where the bees take toll of the buck
wheat vine.
One has all of a courtier's grace
And speaks with an accent low and
sweet:
The other is loath to wash his face
And tracks the floor with his muddy
feet.
One has a palace all his own.
With lackeys TO meet his every wish;
An old pine stump is the others throne
Near the lazy stream where he loves to
fish.
One Is pale in his gold and lace.
Cursed with power he does not crave;
The other is rough. with freckied face.
Seldom silent and never grave.
One as he grows will ever fear
The rending bomb and the braves knife
The other will drink while ne fingers her :
Long and deep of the wine of life.
Two boy kings. one tame. one wild
Parted by leagues of rolling sea-
One Is a sad title Persian child:
The other monarch belongs 10 me.

destrianism and Footwear.
Lewis f. Small of Boston, an expert
in footwear, foresees a revolution in
footwear led by many of the best
known society women of Boston. Miss
Jane Hunnewell, Dorothy Lawson,
Margaret Curtis, the golf champion
and Miss Norman have cast aside the
accepted shoes which are worn BY
every one ed reverted to natures de
mands as pounded by Mr.. Small.
Proper walking" said Mr.. Small,
consists in putting the heel down
first, then resting the weight on the
small bump on the outer middle of the
foot, then nsting it on the ball of the
foot just be tx of the small toes. Turn
the ankles outward gripping with the
toes and heels Stretch up on the ball
of the foot just back of the big tc,
and get the drive from the toes and
the elastic pads behind them.
"In Japan foot troubles are unknown,
for the simple reason that the Japa
