III Cannon's successor should be an
insurgent, the man now appearing
most likely to be chosen would be Rep
resentative Edmond II. Madison. Of
Kansas Madison Is thorough insur-

Is thought would command more sup

Mann Is said by his friends to be less

HE WANTS TO KNOW WHY

A Democratic member of Congress,
from New York, has introduced bill
to put beef, pork, butter, eggs, ETC., on
the free list for one year. Why don't
the Insurgents join them in passing the
bill if they are so sure that the tariff is
the cause of the cost of high living, fos-
ters trusts, and is an oppression upon
the people of the United States? They
have demonstrated that they have a
majority and can pass any bill they wish
to. They have the power to change the
rules of the house if they wish to, but
they don't do it. 1t can't be possible
that they are afraid it would rob the
" Great Reformers of their material
for the coming congressional campaign.
Cannon and Aldrich cannot stop legis-
lation but the Insurgents are making a
great noise about them and accomplish,
ing nothing. They are afraid to change
the tariff. They are afraid to change
the rules of the house. They are afraid
to remove the duty ON farm products.
They are afraid to tell the farmer that
he is in any way to blame for the high
cost of living. They are not afraid to
talk. The Insurgent leaders are simply
the victims of their own robust appititt

A Lincoln Day Service

with the day, in which he spoke of the
high life and services of the great presi-
dent, holding that he was just rs clearly
chosen by the Almighty for the great
work he performed as King David and
other eminent men of ancient times.
Abraham Lincoln was man of visions
In his young manhood he had u vision
of the evil of intemperance and said he
would strike it hard ms opportunity
offered. He also had vision Of the
cruelty of slavery and declared that
some time he believed he could have
something to do with its abolition. The
sermon was well prepared and pleased
the large audience present.
