INSURGENr VISION.
Of an Alliance Between President and
 Speaker.

Washington. Jan. 6.-"The insurgents of the house are not intimidated by the action of the administration in with holding patronage from them. and are not scared into silence by the appar- ent combination of Taft and Cannon"
 This was the declaration of Repre- sentative Norris of Nebraska, a lead ing insurgent. MT. Norris resented the stories appearing in Washington and New York newspapers to the effect that the insurgents were lying down. under the edict of the administration On the contrary. Norris has returned to the attack and criticized the presi- dent himself for the administration singling out the insurgent representa- tives for punishment.
 President Taft is making a grave mistake by aiding Cannon in this way I want to say so unhesitatingiy," con- tinued Norris. T don't object nor do any of the insurgents object as far as I know. to the withholding of patron age. But I denounce the singling out of men who have opposed Cannon and the house organization for the inflic- ton of punishment
 How can the president say we are  opposed to his policies and declare that we are to be punished. when we have not opposed his policies in any way We don't in fact yet know what the presidents policies are to be. We have not even received messages on several important subjects.
 Postmaster General Hitchcock ad- mitted that We are being discriminat- ed against right now. although we have done absolutely nothing to merit it. except oppose Cannon and the house machine.
 ''The president is aiding Cannon. No other construction can be placed on this move of the administration.
 T want to say that the effort to de- feat us by starting fights against us at home is open to vigorous criticism. T have no objection to Speaker Can- non or any of his supporters coming to Nebraska and making any kind of a fight on me they wish to make, but I do deny that the Republican con- . gressional committee has any right to attack me"

NORMAL NOTES

DR. McCOnnell's lecture was
sound and logical, setting forth
the bOundless resources Of this
appalachian Empire" and the
wonderful opportunities which
are here offered TO the intelli-
gent, energetic citizenship of
this realm But he developed
the fact that the productivness
of a people correspond 20 their
intelligence, and furthermore.
that the education of today
must of necessity be largely
practical not wholly cultural
disregarding the unitarian
view OF life.
On Friday night we were per-
mitted, with the children Of the
public school of Big Stone Gap,
10 visit "Fairyland." The en-
tertainment, itself, has a fine
moral effect, and was exception
ally well rendered, showing not
only talent on the part OF the
children, but also great care
and patience on the part OF the
ladies who drilled and trained
the children. The stage was
prettily decorated. All in all il
was a decided success. and the
Normal School appreciated the
privilege of attending such a
delightful entertain me {
through the courtesy of the
ladies of the Civic League.
ON Saturday night Assistant
Commissioner of the State
Board Of Health gave a very
interesting and instructive lee
ture on the Hook Worm and the
various stages of its ravages ON

We learn from persons who
came up from Cumberland Gap
on the night Of the Fourth that
the crowd coming out Of Mid

disorderly, mass; drinking.
swearing. and making itself "A

or gentleman aboard
This drunken. dis0rderly
crowd emptied itself out. till
but few were left by the slime
Big Stone Gap was reached
Here the coaches were again
filled by hundreds Of people re-
turning from the celebration at
that place. But what a differ
encel The crowd, while a Jolly
one, was with rare exceptions,
sober and orderly; and there
was no annoyance from drink
ing and vulgar oaths, TO the
discomfort OF we'll disposed peo-
pie.
The first crowd was coming
ont Of a town full Of saloons,
the second out Of "a town where
no saloons exist, and To the
credit Of which 10 must be said
the moonshiner and bOOtleger
are little tolerated. Yet many
people say there is no differ
ence; il is just as bad where
you have no saloons as where
you have"
Ii does make a difference.
The open saloons with all its
attendant evils, outweighs in
its demoralizing influence. all
the other forms of liquor dis
lpensing combined. The man
who keeps his eyes open, and
honestly seeks the truth, can
not help understanding all this.
The blindest of all is he who,
"having eyes sees not and haV-
ing ears will not hear" Ii does
make a tremendous difference
