The American Magazine for August
contains the following prayer, For All
Teachers" by Walter Rauschenbusch:
I'VE implore thy blessing, o God, on
all the men and women who teach the
children and youth of our nation. for
into their hands we daily commit the
dearest that we have. We know that
they are the potent friends and help
ers of our homes, and that as they
make our children, so shall future
years see them. Grant them an abid-
ing consciousness that they are CO.
workers with thee thou great Teacher
of humanity. and that thou hast
charged them with the holy duty of
bringing forth from the budding life
of the young the mysterious stores of
character and ability which thou hast
hidden in them. Teach them to rev.
erence the young lives, clean and plas-
tic, which have newly come from thee,
and to realize that generations still
unborn shall rue their sloth or rise to
higher levels through their wisdom and
faithfulness Gird them for their task
with double measure of thy patience
and tranquility, with great fatherly
and motherly love for the young, and
with special tenderness for the back
ward and afflicted. Save them from

ITS DEATH BLOW

m HERE does not seem to be room
for doubt that the Kansas election
"A was the beginning of the end of
Cannonism in congress. As battle
ground it could not have been sur
passed. Composed for the most part of
intelligent, prosperous middle class
people who may be considered very rep
resentative of the American average,
Kansas is also Republican by long her
tage. Its Republicans are presumably
representative of the party's real senti-
ment in other parts of the country, of
which the state is about a geographical
center
In view of the way in which they
have recorded themselves. the parting
bravado of Speaker Cannon when he
left Kansas with the defiant Il shall be
a candidate for reelection" sounds hol-
low and ridiculous. There will be few
members in the next session of congress
so brave as to vote for Cannon for
speaker; so few that despite his pres
ent claim he will not be a candidate,
and his element will be so weak that
1t will not be able to put forth any
other candidate with hope of success.
Many observers expect to see a Demo-
cratic speaker.
Cannonism, anyway, is dead. Its
rotten hulk is sloughing off its parts
rapidly. Brooklne,. Mass, overturned
a 10000 Republican majority to start
the work. Rochester, n. Y, upset a
similarly large margin to elect Havens
Democrat SihleN.--in Franklin, Pa,
found it necessary to spend $4,000 to
get his nomination. and both he and
Dalzell-high priest OF protection, who
barely got a denomination by 200 in a
Pittsburg district that once sent him
to congress by 15,OO0-face probable de-
feat at the general elections, for many
insurgent Republicans will vote for
their opponents.
Kansas now sends six insurgents and
two standpatters-prov they secure
election. Some of the districts are not
so one-sided but change of about 1900
votes will send a Democrat TO the
house. In any event, Cannonism is
dead because of the stunning blow
given 1t in Kansas, and such is the feel
ing throughout the country outside of
reactionary circles that the popular re-
joicing will cut right through party
lines.

When the railroads recently an
nounced an increase in freight rates
on cattle and dressed beef from Chi
cago to New York the beef trust OBJ
iected. The veto of the beef trust is a
serious matter. 1t has been known to
modify acts of congress when they
were on their passage. 1t has held up
laws after they We're duly enrolled upon
the statute books.
The beef trust is not organized like
Standard Oil. There lis a National
Packing company which is trust, but
the real beef trust embraces most of
the big packers of the west and is held
together, it is assumed, more by agree
ment than by charter. It's combined
capital is in the neighborhood of $780,
000, 900.
When $500, ,00O,O 900 says mo" to any
thing nowadays 1t is necessary to stop
and consider. Ninety millions of peo-
pie might protest against higher freight
rates on beef, leading directly to higher
prices of meats, and not much would
be said about It, but when the beef

LAUDS COURSE TAKEN BY
BRYAN IN NEBRASKA FIGHT

Editor Herald: "How are the mighty
fallen!" Bryan, the longtime leader
fallen so low in councils of his party
in Nebraska that none dare do him
reverence. Did he fall downward or
upward? So far as the opinion of the
good people of the nation is concerned
there is only one answer. He mounted
up on wings as of eagles. He tell out
of the class of politicians into that of
statesmen; out of the company OF
temporizer into that of men who would
rather be right than be president. He
thereby announced to the world-for he
is known to the crowned heads of every
kngdom-that there is something
higher than policy-it is principle.
What was the question that led such
a man, with his vast knowledge, to
break the bonds that had hitherto held
him TO his party as its peerless leader?
1t certainly must be one of great I'M
portanCe to lead such a man to aban-
don such an exalted leadership. We
smaller men may we'll begin 20 look
into it when it impressed itself upon
a statesman of such boundless research
as of sufficient Importance to induce
him to step down from such high
place. 1t was a matter beside Whlch,
those who have studied it in its yari-
Gus phases tell us, the tariff and all
comparative insignificance. While the
tariff amounts to but a few hundred
thousand dollars each year, over the
bars of this country there is handed
the unthinkable sum of two billions of
dollars! All expended for worse than
nothing. He would be a bold man who
would assert that if nothing was hand
ed back instead of intoxicating liquors
the patron of the saloon and his family
would not be better off. Is Bryan
dead? No, wait a bit. BY that act
he rose in public opinion like a great
colossus. will he be heard of again as a
leader of thought? Today he is more
of a leader than ever before. He has
enthroned himself in the minds and
hearts of the true men and women of
this nation in a way that he could have
done in no other way VIII he ever
be president? / only know he Will be
greater. NJ, G, McCASLlN' .

100000 900 Against $5OO,OOO,OOO
(New York world)

rk World)
Perkins was at once sent to Chicago to
negotiate. The capital under the con-
troll and influence of this establish
ments amounts to $4,000, 100000 and
more. 1t happened. therefore, that
while Mr.. Perkins was visibly present
when j. p. Morgan & Co. called the
beef trust to account, the real argument,
the close reasoning, was in fact be-
tween $40, 100000 and $5O0,OO0,OOO.
Why prolong the narrative? At the re-
quest of the money trust the beef
trust withdrew it's protest and the IN
creased rates are to so into effect Au-
gust l.
Ten thousand millions in the control
of one man can do many things. In
this case they slenced the opposition
to higher rates of one of the greatest
shippers of freight in the world. We
have no details of the arrangement, but
1t is to be inferred that the $5OO,0OOO 600
of the beef trust yielded to the larger
good" of the 10000 900 of the money
trust. The beef trust will pay the bill,
and the consumer will find it, with GER
tain other frills and furbelows, added

Where Sky Dust Comes From

(ChiCagC
Meteoric dust particles are infinitely
finer than grains of sand. They have
an interesting origin Meteors or
shooting stars have bee. bombarding
the world from the beginning at rate
estimated at many thousands an hour,
of which, however, an average of only
five or six are visible to the naked eye
in that time.
owing to our protecting envelope of
air, few of these missiles reach us. In
weight meteors vary from few
ounces to many pounds. Occasionally
one is of sufficient dimensions to sur
viye the passage of so to 100 miles
through an atmosphere increasing in
density as the earth is approached.
The speed at which they enter the
atmosphere, calculated at not less than
thirty-five miles a second, generates

Tribune)
such intense heat by friction that the
iron, of which the. meteor principally
consists, is Immediately REDUCED to an
incandescent vapor, which is the lum-
inous train so frequently seen in the
heavens ON a clear night The vapor
rapidly cools and condenses to the
form of these minute particles, which
assume the spherical form as does shot
during it's fall from the top of the
tower.
Finally the little spheres are scat
tered by the winds and currents in the
upper air and gradually descend in
millions as an invisible, never end
ing shower The perfect condition in
which these meteors are found is due
to the presence of certain noncorrosive
elements, found by analysis to be
present in the metal of meteors which
have come to earth.
