Until this morning at 10 o'clock, when
the examination Of Mr.. Matthews will
probably be resumed The case has
aroused considerable interest through

the petit jury to render a sweeping
verdict one way or the other on the
whole, without rendering a. separate
verdict for each count In response
to this Mr.. Cochrane put forth argu-
ment to show that the number OF
counts have been grouped under eight
or nine separate divisions, making it
easy for the jury to classify the evi-
dence, and render the verdict accord
ingly, and hence that the grand jury
could easily have rendered its verdict
Of true bill in one day.
Court will convene this morning
about 9 o'clock, and it is probable that
the case will be gone into immediate
ly, all preliminary motions and objec-
tions having been disposed Of yester-
day. Only twenty-seVen Of the venire

yesterday, but it is expected that all

missing the jury for the day, Judge
Brawley gave any who thought he

President Matthews Still Testifes.

Augusta Chronicle.
Greenville, S. c., Oct. 12.-Eforts to
prove the continued insolvency of
Milton A. Carlisle during the years
1907 and 1908, characterized the testi-
mony put up by the government today
in the case against the former presi-
dent of the Newberry National bank,
on trial here in the district court,
charged with misapplication of the
funds of the bank.
The defense endeavored to show
that the affairs Of the bank had not
been properly looked after by the di-
rectors and many details in regard to
the compromise offered by Mr.. Car
Isle in transferring certain life insur-
ance policies and other securities to
the bank in settlement Of his indebted
ness were brought out by both sides.
The examination of B. C. Matthews
present president of the bank, occu-
pied the greater part of the day, but
a. number Of bankers from whom Mr..
Carlisle had borrowed money were
put up by the prosecution.
It is probable that the trial will con-
tinue through the remainder of the
week.

of rules that he opposed as the unholy
combination by which the changes
We're to be effected, that caused him
to show implacable hostility to the
procedure. If his party had demand
ed the change, he would-as a loyal
subject-aid them in the movement;
but he never did, and in my judg-
ment never will throw his hands up
in meek submission to the enemy;
but with his latest breath will be
found %valiant1y defending the citadel
Of republicanism.
AS evidence of his unyielding alleg-
lance to what he believes is right,
listen to the clarion note he sounded
in one of his recent speeches in Kan
sas, II will go back, if God spares
my life, and be in the next congress,
either in the majority or in the mi
nority, and l would rather be there
in a republican minority, than to be
one of an apparent majority that
could not take account of stock and
know from n day to another wheth-
er it was the majority or the minor
ity."
Joe Cannon has lived a wonderful
ly useful life. He has given his best
days to serving the republican party,
he has, as chairman Of the great FL
nance Committee of Congress for
many years proved a veritable watch
/ dog" of the treasury.
He has served faithfully, honestly
and most efficiently the whole coun-
try, and now, in the closing days of
his illustrious career, a pack OF blood
hounds and mongre1 pups are barking
at his heels. 1t is not strange that oc-
casionally the "vitriol" in him is
aroused, and that he kicks some of
the most pestiferous of them that
, snarl at his heels.
But when the "pack" are long for
gotten, history will be illumined with
the record of Speaker, Statesman and
Patriot, and the name OF Joseph G.
Cannon, will not be forgotten, even
though the names Of his detractors

potent. These are the rules under
which Cannon was chosen speaker
nearly eight years ago.
And, while sometimes their enforce
ment was seemingly harsh and I'M
American, yet through their efficient
application, the majority could dis
patch business, and no successful at
tempt to filibuster could be en-
ployed to prevent.
Joe Cannon found those rules in
operation when first elected speaker;
he enforced them. He is built of the
stuff that make backbone, and with
out fear or favor he enforced them.
When the fight against some of them
was initiated by the insurgents-ably
abetted by the democrats, (for poll
tical reasons only, and in the hope of
disrupting the republican party), Joe
Cannon knew the animus of the move
ment better than any man in con-
gress. He knew it was inspired by a
Rule OF ruin policy" rather than
in the interest of good government.
He knew that malcontents and Wis
ionary "reformers" who at heart
only desired personal aggrandizement
and power were conspiring for van
tage ground for selfish interests, and
that love of country or high ideals
was not che inspiration.
Not having any use for demagouges
and pretended reformers, he fought
against their Vaccinations and stood
by the principles that had controlled
legislation through the most wonder
full era of prosperity this country had
known, and in which republican en-
actments had been largely the con-
trolling cause. He was also intensely
republican and did not believe in the
doctrine Of making allies with the
enemy to overthrow republicanism,
and defeat its plans and policies.
The Benedict Arnold act of the in
surgents, in giving aid to democracy,
was to him abhorant; amounting to
treason; and this he fought, as every
loyal republican should.

Iowa, Illinois and Indiana have

WHERE IT HURTS IOWA.

The Davenport Democrat finds
complaint because Of the way Iowa
farmers are leaving that state and
moving into South Dakota to make
their home and help enrich the state
&C the expense Of Iowa.
The Democrat wants this stopped
and at once. 1t desires the farmers
to remain In Iowa and help build up
that state instead Of rushing OF to
some other locality to change their
fealty from Iowa. At the same time
The Democrat offers the excuse for
Iowans leaving the state and coming
% South Dakota-mainly because
they can buy land at cheaper prices
and 1t has been proven beyond all
question that South Dakota is pro-
ducing just as good crops year after
year as the neighboring state. In
fact the record for corn growing in
South Dakota is better than Iowa as
vas shown in a statement comparing

The writer has sometimes been
amused; sometimes pleased, and Of
ten indignant over the attacks made
upon Hon. Joseph Cannon, the very
able speaker Of the lower house of
congress.

the gallery Of that somewhat remark

Henderson and "Joe" Cannon, were

have sometimes wondered why GER
tain things were done, and why Ger
tain things were prohibited; seem
ingly by the arbitrary rulings of
the speaker. But my mind goes back
to the time when the Reed Rules
were adopted, and also the conditions
that made such rules imperative, If
congress as represented by a clear
majority was to do things"
In the old days a small minority
could absolutely block the wheels OF
progress, and f1llibustering, dilatory
motions and long winded speeches Of
ten did prevent the enactment Of leg
itimate business. To overcome these
unfortunate conditions, and to enable
the responsible majority to accom-
plish legislation the Reed Rules were
put in force. The cry that went up
against them by the democrats con-
gresham was most vociferous, and

THE IMPORTS AND THE TARIFF

The report of exports and imports
for. the last fiscal year, given out by
the government a few days ago, goes
to support President Taft and Speak
er Cannon in their claims that the
Payne-Aldrich tariff law is the best
tariff law ever passed in the United
States. Both exports and imports ex-
ceeded all previous records. This in
dicates that the tariff was reduced
enough to stimulate imports and
yet not enough to injure the manu-
featuring industry, as shown by the
exports.
Yet these are merely Indications.
None has denied that the last tariff
is al improvement over its predecess-
ors, but there has been insistent
claim that it was not enough of an
improvement and not as much of an
improvement as was promised by the
republican party. Further, it may be
noticed that the increase in imports
occurs chiefly in raw materials, which
goes to show that the American man
ufacturers have been we'll protected
against foreign competition. They
can make no complaint against the
law, but the consumer has not been
convinced that the manufacturer has
not still more protection than he
needs, that the law does not permit
him to charge unreasonable profits
without fear Of foreign competition.
About all that can be c%onclusively
proved from the first fiscal year in
which the new tariff has operated is
that it has done better than its pre-
decessors as a revenue producer. The
people are awaiting reports by the
tariff commission, which is supposed
to be making an impartial investiga-
ton of the tariff, to find out how
nearly it approaches justice to both
the producer and the consumer.
The Ohio convention did we'll to
emphasize the Importance of the
tariff commission. If President Taft
can succeed in making it a real COM
mission and If congress can be made
to act on its information, instead Of
ignoring its report, as was done with
the tariff commission in 1888, then
he will have to his credit a more i'm
portant accomplishment than a great
er reduction in the duties would have
been.

WHERE is BRYAN's PLACE?

A calamity has happened to Will
liam Jennings Bryan. And in the light
of the great worship extended to him
by Nebraska democrats in past years,
one would hardly think that his old
time followers would have deserted
him when he stood for a local issue
on the county option proposition.
Bryan's democracy has wavered, per-
haps but little in all the years that
he has stood as a conspicuous figure
In the battle for supremacy. He has
taken on, however, some ideas which
are not in accord with democratic
issues, that is propositions which Ne
braska democrats do think should
enter into a local campaign, and they
expressed their disapproval of 1t
when Mr.. Bryan asked the party to
endorse a county option plank, and
make a strong campaign upon it. MI.
Bryan delivered an impassioned adj
dress on the subject but it did not
move his audience with the same
electrifying exhileration when he
spoke Of the "cross and crown" is
sue In 1896.
The audience listened coldly and
with little sympathy as the great
leader asked for its cooperation to
endorse county option, and while the
effort was made to prevent Mr.. Bryan
from speaking on the question he
managed to break through the lines
and have his say. Notwithstanding
the fact that his county option idea
was defeated, Mr.. Bryan declared
that he was not out of politics and
that he would continue to have
something to do with the shaping OF
the policy Of the party.
The question comes up as to how
deeply rooted in Mr.. Bryan is the
county option idea, and how far he
will go with it. II he is to maintain
that as one Of the principles on which
he is going to add to his democracy.
there is, without question, going to
be a big falling of by his oldtime
supporters in many states Of the
union. Nebraska left just a little
room for Mr.. Bryan to stand on when
they declined to adopt Mayor Dahl
mans plank showing opposition to
county option. and perhaps in this
way the democrats will try to entire
II eliminate the county option idea As
far#sas possible and the wonder is
how successful will they be If Mr..
Bryan runs It up as a special issue
with him. On this same idea Mr..
Bryan had quite a good following in
the Grand Island convention. The
proceedings will be watched with un-
usual interest.

BRAKEMAN AWARDED $500.
A. r. Raymond Given Verdict Against
Iowa Central.

Ottumwa, April 1.-When the jury
in the United States court returned it's
verdict in the case of A. r. Raymond
against the Iowa Central Railway
Company, Foreman w d. Beatty an
nounced that the jury found for the
plaintiff in the sum of $4,000.
Thus concluded a case that was
woven with considerable interest
among a large number of spectators
who attended the sessions of the fed
eral court during the past three days
1t also makes the close of the jury
cases in the United States court to be
heard in Ottumwa at this term. The
outcome of the trial is not without its
surprises and as whole the verdict
seems to meet with approval altho it
is but 10 per cent of the amount
claimed for by the plaintiff who asked
for $4,000 damage due to the loss of
his right foot in the freight yards at
Grinnell. The accident occurred April
4. 1909, in the evening, while Ray
mond was in the act of setting out a
portion of his train He made the claim
that his lantern went out and built
his cause on the engineers backing
without a signal The defense had the
engineer on the stand and he rebutted
the testimony of Raymond in stating
that he was signalled to back up and
did not move the engine until given
the signal to do so.
