of common clay should drop dead to
night, what would the newspapers
and magazines which make a profes-
sion of lying and slandering do then?
My daughters. grandchildren. my SON
in-law would be sorry. But the balance
OF the world would not have time to
be sorry. There never was a truer
word said than Let the dead bury its
dead II that were not true. then the
world would be one vast house OF
mourning
Il know people who think they
monopolize the wires from the earth
up 10 the great white throne. They
don't give the majority OF us a chance.
They have curealls. they think God
and one constitute a majority, forget
ting that God alone is a majority and
can we'll do without their help.
We're thankful for Christian moral
ity. Once In n while we find people
who have n monopoly Of all knowledge
and therefore should be indicted and
prosecuted under the Sherman anti.
trust law. All who disagree with
them are anathema.
It's uncomfortable sometimes TO
live in a government by the people.
There will always be some who are
feeble-minded, abnormal. insane, or to
use a shorter and more common word.
they are cranks. But we've got TO
have them.

"A new majority has been made. II
consists OF the Democrats and a 10
per cent slough from the Republican
ha
on rules Then what did they do? a
resolution was presented declaring
the Office OF the speaker vacant. Then
what did these men who have been
denouncing my personality, these sim
on-pure followers OF Cummins and La
toilette, do then? Only eight of them
had the courage OF their convictions.
The result was that while | was elect
ed speaker by a majority OF 26 last
March. they refused 10 turn me out by
majority OF SO.
May God bless and KEEP these men,
for so far as I am concerned, He only
can bless them!
MANY so-called Republicans are in
fact. populists and arc trying TO out
do Organism.
THAT was the way this Republican
slough started out in its new alliance.
And the Sunday papers will be out in
the morning with stories about the
end OF Cannonism and czarism and
perhaps a few OF them will say what
| said about the house being simply
government by majority.
This combination abolished the
committee on rules. which has. after
all. simply the power TO report 70 the
house. although some seem TO think
that It is like the biblical example OF
Let there be light: and there was
light You in Washington know dif-
ferently But the people in the coun-
try apparently believe the uplife mag
azines and the cowardly members or
congress who wrought such havoc to-
day.
Points to Lincoln and Grant.
Il am thankful belong 10 the party
Of Lincoln and Grant and Garfield and
Roosevelt and Taft, and whenever
any charge is made upon 1t, whether
from pulpit or magazine or chautau-
qua circuit. I will defend It, | would
rather KEEP the Republican faith and
fall. than 20 march with men who
would disrupt the Republican party,
and succeed
THE country believes we have a
majority Of ~ in the house. whereas
we have none, nor have We major
ity in the senate. But this news IS
not given to the country by certain
publlcists. They suppress II and dis
tort Il. and talk only about Cannonism
and the defeat and rebuke OF the car
today.
Some OF us pray for the millen-
