THE CANNONS.
"Uncle JOe's'' Father Was a Country
DOctOr-Oath Killed Grass.

(Alfred Henry Lewis, in New York
American.
Mr.. Cannon's father was a country
doctor. His region was scandalously
salubrious. When the health of the
neighborhood become more than he
could bear he was wont to cut an
armful of beech switches and-for
the wan leanness of his purse-go to
teaching district school.
When our Mr.. Cannon had touched
the age of four. Cannon pere, think
ing that in the fever and ague Incl
dent to new country he might find
pocketbook relief, loaded his house
hold into prairie-schooner and
pointed for the setting sun.
The Cannon pilgrimage ended in
Indiana. Who said that Indiana was
settled by folk who started for the
West but lost their nerve?
In later years while in Indiana.
Mr.. Cannon in Is months became a
lawyer. Then he got married; and
because the girl he led altarward was
not Quaker the elders of that ex-
acting sect found grievous fault.
In the fiery blush of honeymoon,
Mr.. Cannon repulsed those elders;
and, although not then that past
master Of profanity he has since be-
come, there's neighborhood word
that his language on that blasting
occasion killed ten acres Of grass.
The Mortified elders fed, and by way
of retort cast the vituperative Mr..
Cannon out Of the fold With that
Mr.. Cannon abandoned Indiana for
Illinois, his new wife, tucked under
his arm.

efficient handling of a railroad and
the safety Of travelling public.
Il supposed that knew something
of the length and breadth and scope
of the work of the Young Mems

it's latest reports I find 1 had no con-
ception whatever of it's work. No
man may learn of those far-reaching
activities without having a deeper and
more abiding faith in the Association
and the future of this great country.
Il do not believe that any moneys
that a railroad can appropriate for
any purposes pay so large a return
for the amount invested as those
made for the establishment of rail-
road branches. The human equation

the office were received from Messrs.

On motion of Mr.. McLaurin the

Association with its quiet rooms. its
wholesome meals, its baths, it's lib

hotels with saloon attachments for
a place to eat and sleep-a place
where every influence is elevating and
the surroundings are calculated to
make them better as well as safer and
more efficient employees.
In my opinion the railroad COM
pany that has failed to provide its
employees with this alternative to the
saloon hotel Is neglecting a duty IL
owes to its employees, the public and
the shareholders
During the recent disastrous de-
preston, while We had empty freight
cars by the mile and every possible
economy was resorted to on our
roads, not dollar was taken from

He has said, in speaking Of the work
for boys:
THE boys Of twelve to eighteen
the period when the Young Mems
Christian Association reaches them
are the material out Of which the men
are made. During those years there
is more man-making than during all
the rest of life. 1t is the all impor-
tant and critical period. Either good
men or Indifferent men are the result.
Before the boy drifts from this period
OF transition, muscles form, habits
form, everything forms. Bad habits
are the result Of bad surroundings.
Licentious II not criminal habits
usually follow the breathing of an at
mosphere that is corrupt. The Young
Mems Christian Association does not
ask the boys to turn from the or
dinary enjoyments Of young fellows,
but encourages them to train their
muscles; to be rough-and- tumble boys
at the proper time and occasion. Con-
tinuous attention is as necessary to
the physical life as 1t is to the men,
tai, moral and spiritual sides. Boys
are here taught to wrestle with diff
culties, to meet them squarely and
conquer them, and with the habit of
conquering difficulties, a man may 90
into life with confidence. 1t is from
such boys, brought into, and train
ed in the Association. that this great
country may expect to get men for
the management of it's affairs, and
the working out of the destiny of our
great empire"

MAJOR PHILLIPS, OF o11umwA.

Mayor Phillips, Of Ottumwa, must
stand trial for removal from office. A
petition filed by the attorney gen
eral and signed by the requisite num-
Der of citizens accuses Phillips of cor
ruption in office 1t is also alleged
ate in Ottumwa contrary to law; that
he had knowledge of gambling houses
being operated in violation of the law;
that he has licensed, permitted and au-
thorized gambling houses in Ottumwa;
that minors have been permitted TO en-
ter pool and billiard rooms. Also that
he has refused and neglected to stop the
conduct OF houses of illfame; that
since his election and qualification he
has repeatedly been in d state of in
toxication: that on April so, 1910, he
peared on the streets in a state of in
toxication; and at said time he was
boisterous and disorderly; using loud
and profane and obscene language.
Now this is long roster of allega-
tons The charge Of intoxication is
under the circumstances among the
minor charges, for it Is said that since
the Cosson laws went into effect the
mayor has not been seen on the
streets in an intoxicated condition
with the one alleged exception.
A single jag might by stratning
point. be excused a mayor
who was striving TO keep decent in
fear of the law.
But if he has been corrupt in office;
If he has permitted and authorized
gambling; known of brothels and per-
mitted them to operate; refused to en-
force city ordinances against pool
rooms and has been profane and OBJ
scene OF the street. he ought not TO
last in Office as long as feather in
inferno
There Is in this case warning 20 Of
fcials who get drunk in private. The
time will come when a foot will slip
and trouble ensue Drunkenness and
libertinism sooner or later trips up its
practitioner. And then comes open dis
grace and shame for the official and
worst Of all for his friends and his
family.
The time is at hand when those who
desire to live outside the pale of com
mon morality and decency should stay
out of representative offices.
