CANNON P0URS Walls OF
WRATH ON INSURGENTS
In Speech Before National Manufac'
turers' Assoc iation, He Says Hang
ina Is Too Good for Them.

'A - iSS SSSd iS' ''Oiis
NEW YORK. May ls.-speaker
Cannon, In an address before the Ma
ticnal Manufacturers association. In
the Waldorf-Astoria, last night. said
shooting is too good for certain Re.
publican insurgents. He made a de-
tense OF his conduct as speaker and
was wildly cheered.
You believe we have a majority OF
"A In the house OF representatives
and two-thirds OF the United States
senate. said the speaker, and yet we
are under the sway will not say OF
dishonest--of mistaken people, and
now and then demagogue. seeking
power; and can pick out among them
men who would have competed with
Judas, who betrayed his Master.
I'VE have a great president, and a
Republican majority. yet we cannot
say whether there are not enough
towards to flock with the populistic
Democratic minority and leave us
without an efficient Republican ma
jorlty.
III there were two armies drawn
up In actual conflict do you know what
would be done with such men?"
Shoot them" cried one OF the
diners.
Shoot them" Numbered the speak
er. Shoot them? That would be too
honorable a death for them. Hanging
would be their fate.
III were mere partisan I'd well
come Dolliver, Bristow, LaFollette
and Clapp of Minnesota, joining hands
with Champ Clark and company. But
that would bring sorrow, shortened
wages. and misery to millions OF
hearthstones: therefore. as a man OF
"a who will soon be where / will wear
either a muslin or asbestos halo. I'd
rather march to defeat In the future
than have our populist or so-called
progressive friends reaping a victory.
Il would rather that we carry the
next house and senate by a sound real
Republican majority, even though we
lose In 1912. I'd postpone the evil day
as long as possible, and perchance-
though it's a forlofn hope-wisdom
may come south OF Mason and Dix
on's line. God bless you-you needn't
bother about New England, she'll
take care Of herself"

There are lot OF "progressives' in
Michigan who want to detach julius
Caeser Burrows from the senatorial
toga he has worn for the past Is
years. Congressman Townsend has
been selected to lift julius Caesars
official scalp. The 'Ides OF March,"
1911, will tell whether Townsend has
been a successful Brutus.
Burrows, II reelected, will succeed
to Aldrich's place as chairman of the
senate finance committee, provided, OF
course, that Uncle Nelse" doesn't re-
turn. J. Caesar has been In congress
a long time; too long, think the VOL
verines, who do not like his subserv-
fence TO the Rhode Island boss. He has
FIVE times returned to the lower
house, and in 1895 was sent to the
United States senate. He is now 70.

tRudyard Kipling in Amerioan.)
If you can keep your head when all
about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on
you;
If you can trust yourself when all men
doubt you.
But make allowance of their doubt
ing too;
If you can wait and not be tired of
waiting,
Or being lied about, dom deal in lies,
Or Eeing hated don't give way to
hating,
And yet don't look too good. nor talk
too wise;
If you can dream--and not make
dreams your master;
II you can think--and not make
thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and
Disaster
And treat those two imposters just
the same,
II you can bear to hear the truth
you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make trap
for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your
life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up With
worn-out tools;
If you can make one heap of all your
winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch
and toss,
And lose, and start again at your be-
ginnings
And never breathe a word about
your loss;
II you can force your nerve and heart
and slnew
To serve your turn long after they
are gone,
And SO hold on when there is nothing
in you
Except the Will which says to
them: "Hold onP'
II you can talk with crowds and keep
your virtue,
Or walk with Kings--nor lose the
common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can
hurt you,
If all men count with you. but none
too much;
II you can FIJI the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds worth of dis
tance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything
that's in it,
And-which is more--you'll be a

COUNTY DIVISION.

Under the present laws in the opin.
ion of eminent lawyers, counties can
only be divided or boundaries changed
by the vbte of the people.
All laws should be obeyed. Some
laws should be appealed or amended.
The law creating new counties is un-
fair as voters are asked to create new
counties where they cannot know
the local conditions and might form a
new county where four-fifths of the
residents of the old county are op-
posed to it.
What do the voters of Clasop know
of the needs of Grant, Malheur,
Crook, Umatilla, Douglas, Lane, Wash.
ington, Clackamas and Multnomah.
They could vote just as intelligently
for the county officers in these coun-
ties as for their division or the chang.
ing OF the boundaries
There is strong opposition to di-
vision In all the counties mentioned
and it would seem to be but justice
that these localities should settle their
own local differences
You will have the privilege of vot-
ing for bill to leave the function OF
new counties and municipalities to the
districts iliterestd. AS between man
and man, would not this plan be the
more equit able?
The ave rage voter will certainly
take this 'view of it. In all fairness
now, will not your conscience and
sense of right tell you to vote against
all division and vote Eyes X S52,'
which will relieve you of the task OF
voting for measures with which you
can not be familiar.

pEFEAT COUNTY DIVISION.
(Aibany Herald)


"There are no less than eight appli-
cations for the creation of new coun-
ties to be voted upon by the people OF
Oregon at this falls election Though
there may be one or more OF these
new county schemes possessing some
degree of merit and are prompted by
good faith, It would appear that in
the main they are not entitled to the
favorable consideration of the people
at large, and as matter of expedi-
tion and good public policy all Of
them should be defeated.
"In the first place the Herald be-
lieves that the creation of new
county Is a matter devolving upon the
legislature and should not be submit
ted to vote OF the people at large,
who cannot possibly have any intelli-
gent idea of the demand for such pro-
posed new counties and are, therefore,
in no sense competent to vote upon
the measures. What does the average
voter of the northeasternt part of the
state know about the practicability or
wisdom of the clamor of the south
western portion of the state for the
creation of a new county? Certainly,
in the majority of cases, he would not
be able to cast an intelligent vote on
the proposition.
