A brief definition of "Cannonism"
has been asked for. Cannonism
means that when the interests of the
common people and the interests of
the steel trust, the sugar trust, the
lumber trust, the harvester trust and
the combination of New England cot
ton manufacturers come into conflict,
the latter get the legislation they
want and the people are forced to
take that which they do not want.
The Payne-Aldrich law is good illus
tration. The people said: "Wewant
downward revision of the tariff in
order that the cost of living may be
lesSened. =" The corporate interests
said: I'VE want upward revision in
order that our profits may increase. "
The people were disappointed, and
the campaign-contributing tariff trusts
were obeyed. That is Cannonism.
Senator Robert NJ. LaFollette, of
Wisconsin,, sometimes thinks of the
most unheard of things. For in
stance, in the Senate the other day in
discussing President Taft's railroad
bill, he said: There is not one line
in the statute to give to the people
reasonable railroad rates. All that
has been accomplished is to afford a
means of giving equal rates to the
shippers. Now who except LaFol-
lette or some other Democrat would
think of that?

ECONOMIC USE OF MEATS
Department Of Agriculture Has Pre-
pared Bulletin Dealing with
the Subject.

Discussion Of the increasing cost Of
living has brought to light quite gen.
orally that the cheaper cuts OF meats
are more difficult TO prepare for the
table than the more expensive por-
tons Of the carcass. due to a lack of
knowledge Of how they may be made
appetizing and palatable. With a
view to providing the housekeepers of
the country with practical suggestions
along this line. the United Ststes de-
partment Of agriculture has prepared
a manual Of economy in meat cooking
that contains much valuable informa-
ton. which will be issued free. II is
known as Economic Use of Meats In
the Home" and may be had by ad-
dressing a request TO the secretary of
agriculture. Washington.

A Tasty Dessert.

A tasty dessert was invented by a
Brooklyn housewife the other day.
Sherbet glasses were filled with apple
sauce-the red kind that is cooked
until # is mahogany color-a little
nest was made in the center and this
was filled with whipped cream and
around the cream there were scattered
finely minced nuts. This apple sauce
may be kept in cans for an indefinite
time and is always useful, either as
an accompaniment for the meat course
or for dessert.

TELLS OF "KELLY'S MEN. 4"

Confederate Army of This Stat,
Broken Up at Battle of VIII
son Creek-Few Survive.
In answer to a letter in Friday
Republic, signed "a Boonville Boy,
skiing: "Can anyone tell me wha
,ecome of Kelly's men after the bat
lie of Boonville, June IL, 1862
lick McGrath, former Secretary o
state of Missouri and a member o
ielly's company, sent the following
communication:
Kelly's men, or company, was
the first company enlisted in the
Confederate Army of Missouri.
After the battle of Boonville it
participated in all the fights in
Missouri in which Parsons bri-
gade engaged, and up to the bat
tie of Wilson Creek, where the
company was broken up. In this
fight more than one-third Of the
company were killed or wound
ed, Captain Stephen Coleman
was killed and Colonel Joseph
Kelly, commanding the First Mis-
souri,, of which the Kelly compa-
ny was a part, lost the use of his
right hand by bullet wound.
After this he was made Inspector
General of Prices army.
What few remained of Kelly's
men after the battle of Wilson
Creek were transferred to the
Third, Fourth and Fifth Infantry
of Parsons brigade. Private
Alexander Leseur of the compa-
ny, afterwards Secretary of State
Of Missouri, formed a battery, and
with him went some of the COM
pany.
Of Kelly's men, two, | now re-
call, were killed at Corinth. One
was my only brother, Patrick j.
McGrath, First Sergeant ola COM
pany of the Fifth Regiment, COM
handed by Colonel MCGOWAN, of
Missouri.
Billy Walsh, who wrote for
The st. Louis Herald under the
name of Wilhelm" was anoth-
er of the fallen in that attack of
General Van Dorm on Robinet
Battery.
Wat Marnell, a Corporal in
the old company, with few of
the others left, were killed in the
battle of Franklin, June 4, 1868,
he in command of a company of
the Fourth Missouri. OF the old
company, few are left. Major
James H. Mcnamara was the last
to go. When they left st. Louis,
May 8, 1861, there were about
100 in the command. Only about
four or five ever returned to Mis-
souri,.
How Kelly's company happen
ed not to be in Camp Jackson on
the 10th of May, 1861, so often
repeated in press advices, is
known to few this day. 1t came
about in this way:
The company with others was
in Camp jackson, the Governor,
anticipating an invasion at Jeffer-
son City from St. Louis Barracks,
ordered a command from St.
Louis. This was furnished and
Kelly's company and a detail of
Captain Vests company were
ordered to jefferson City on the
night of the 9Th of May, the Sec
ond day before the camp was in
vaded. We proceeded by rail
and burned the Usage bridge, af-
ter crossing it. We remained at
Jefferson City, camped at the
Fair Grounds, from May s to
June IL, 1861, when we left with
the Governor and other State Of
ficers to make a fight for Missou-
ri on the Confederate side.
The battle of Boonville, to
which the Boonville boys refer,
was not much Of a fight as COM
pared with others in this State.
Our little command of about $50
was intercepted by a regiment
which came by boat, chiefly regu-
lars, from Jefferson Barracks.
We had TO show fipht or run.

Our little command of about $50
was intercepted by a regiment
which came by boat, chiefly regu-

Colonel j. S. Marmaduke, just
from West Point, afterwards Gov
ernor, in command, was for a
fight. Governor Claiborne F.
Jackson and Colonel Joseph Kelly
were not, because of the fewness
Of our members as compared
with the other side.
After a few rounds and the loss
of one side on our side, we re-
treated in rapid order. The loss
on the other side is not known.
l met in after years a one-arm-
ed soldier in jefferson City, who
said he lost his arm in that skir-
mish in the cemetery at Boom
vile. He did not know Of other
losses or injuries. Thistwas the
only fight the Confederates lost
in Missouri during the war.

warm DAYS ARE COMING
WILL ROUT COLD WEATHER IN
SEVERAL DAYS.
Snow Up in Canada and Wintry
Mark Temperature in the
Southwest.

The chilliness in the atmosphere here
abouts is an overflow from the snowy
and freezing conditions in the lake re-
gions and the northwest Canada border
The hot wave, with temperatures of 1UO
degrees and more, continues In southern
California. New Mexico. Arizona and the
interior Of Texas. Prof. Bowie, Official
forecaster Of the weather bureau. SAID
today the warm wave Is advancing east
erly through the gulf states. but will not
reach this vicinity for several days.
In the meantime. cool conditions will
contiue here. with fair skies. Snow was
falling this morning in Alberta and Sas
katchewan provinces, Canada, north OF
Montana and Dakota. with temperatures
at and below the freezing point. Four
inches of snow was reported today from
Alberta.
The hot wave reached the interior OF
Texas yesterday afternoon, and the Their
mometers recorded temperatures of LOG

The minimum temperature In the Dis
trict OF Columbia recorded this morning
was So degrees, or just seven degrees
higher than the minimum of yesterday
morning.
An English scientist declares the cold
wave In the lake region and Canada is
due to the lateness of the arrival of the
gulf stream drift, and aveis that there
will be a cold summer in both England
and the United States as a result.

MORE CASH NEEDED FOR
SAFE AND SANE FOURTH
Only $500 in Hand, and Fire
works Alone Ought to
Cost $4,000.

Only fifteen hundred dollars in the
bank and the joint committee on the
safe and sane Fourth talking about a
two fireworks display. J.
Fred Kelley, chairman Of the fireworks
of Fourth Of July weather is stirring up
a fine line of procrastination among those
who will probably contribute in time.
However, what Mr.. Kelley and the other
members of the committee want is some
assurance that Washington will have a
real celebration on the coming safe and
sane Fourth. When it is understood that
$1,000 is aimed at. and that it is now
time to talk about contracts for fire
works, the fact that there is only about
$1,000 on hand makes the celebra ton
take on a serious aspect rather than a
holiday guise.
1t will take all Of $4,000 to make a
ing. The other money which the COM
mittee hopes to raise will go for the
widespread celebration in the daytime.
The municipal games, to which every
boy or girl in the District who has the
slightest pretense Of being athletic is
invited, will cost some money. Daniel
Z. Garages is looking at medals now,
and the medals will cost a pretty
penny. There will be bands and band
stands and the accompanying expense
all Of which will have a hard time to
exc out anything but a deficit, with
only $1,000 in the treasury.
Hugh Kelly of Newark, representing
a fireworks firm. is in the city with a
big program Of possibilities for the
night of the fourth. At meeting OF
morrow night, Mr.. Kelly's proposition
will be discussed.
