Washington, April 19.-Former
Speaker Cannon in the house to-
day vigorously attacked Canadian
reciprocity. Aided by a large map

he played the role or schoolmaster
to a crowded floor and filled gall
lerles. Mr.. Cannon assailed the
proposed agreement as dangerous
to American trade, inimical TO the
best interests of American farm
ers and certain to result i'm the
depreciation of American farm
lands.
Representative Grudger of North
Carolina (democrat) characterized
the bill as a republican measure.
He attacked his colleague. Mr..
Kitchin. for his speech OF Satur-
day, declaring he was marching
side by side with the republican
leaders and that he had impugned
the motives of at least three menu
bers OF the North Carolina demo-
cratic delegation who proposed to
vote against the measure.

Some Things That Do Happen

The man with a clear conscience
generally has the satisfaction of
knowing that he gets the worst
of the deal.
1t is much better to be good
for a reward than to be good
for nothing.
1t is Just as well to bear in
mind that Opportunity isn't an
habitual knockcr.
No matter how intellectual she
may be, after a woman reaches a
certain age she feels that almost
any man is a match for her.
1t may sound like exaggeration,
but man has almost as many
buttons on his suit of clothes as
a woman has on the back of her
waist.

MAYOR THOMPSON BOY AGAIN
AMONG THE KIDS IN SCHOOL
Went To Meet the Pupils Who Wrote
Essays Befrlendins the Hebre"

Mayor Thompson took an afternoon
of, Thursday, and visited the pupils
OF the Van Dyke school, Van Dyke
and Kercheval-aves. After the
mayors circular letter several weeks
ago, asking protection from the
pupils OF the city for Hebrew ped
dlers, who had been tormented while
passing the schools, the boys and
girls at the Van Dyke sent him a
number OF letters and essays on hui
man kindness. The mayor mingled
with the pupils Of four rooms, chat
ting with them and exchanging
stories. The pupils sang patriotic
songs and the mayor made a little
speech, in the course OF which, LIE
said:
Il wanted TO see the manly little
boys and winsome girls who were the
first to answer my circular letter and
gave me the pleasure Of reading some
of their essays, So you see | was ell
tirely1 prompted by curiosity TO see
you rather than to give you advice.
II can't give you any particular ad
vice. You are in the hands of excel
lent teachers who, in addition to their
duty, pride themselves upon making
OF you what you are-fne young
American boys and girls, full OF life
a little mischief and good intentions
The teachers are taking the place OF
the parents for certain hours OF the
day, and take just as much interest
in your welfare as your father and
mother do. You must, therefore
show them the same respect. Just
the same as it Is hard for your par.
ents to correct you again and again
so it is hard for your teachers. Just
as parents find their GREATEST pleasure
in seeing their children grow W
good boys and girls, just the same
interest the teachers have in you"

SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHERS
MAY FORM UNION HERE
Movement Is Started at lnterdenom-
national Conference, Now in SEES
sion in Detroit

An effort Will be made TO organize
in Detroit union OF elementary
Sunday school teachers for the pur-
pose OF mutual helpfulness in the
work as a result OF the interdenomina-
tional conference OF the Wayne County
Sunday School Spring institute, held
Friday morning, in the Woodward-aye.
Baptist church.
Mrs. Retta Boone, Of Grand Rapids,
told of the splendid work accomplish
ed by the union in her home city
and Of the influence IL had in causing
unions to be formed in other cities
and small towns OF the state. 1t was
learned that Detroit once had a union
of this sort, but that summer vacation
''laziness" proved its death knell.
I'VE lost the interest OF the teach
ers when we decided TO suspend our
weekly meetings during the summer
months, for after several months OF
doing nothing, 1t proved very difficult
TO arouse the necessary interest and
energy TO get together agin in the
fall" said Mrs. Clara Woolfenden,
one of the prominent Sunday School
workers and teachers in Detroit. I'VE
need a union in Detroit and we want
one, and when we get 1t, we will learn
by experience and keep 1t going all
the year around. Porch meetings
are pretty good things in hot weather,
and, while the energy displayed dur.
ing July and August may not be as
great as during the winter months.
we will, at least keep together and
the organization Is not so likely to
lapse
Mrs. Woolfenden urged those pres
ent TO fill out a blank she provided
for the purpose and enroll themselves
as members OF "revivifled union"
While the women elementary teach
ers conferred in one OF the church
parlors, conference OF ministers was
held in another parlor. the Rev. p.
H. Welshimer, OF Canton, o., address
ing them. Following these conferences
the home department officers and
teachers held a conference under the
leadership of DR.. NJ. w. Lau, OF De-
troit, and the Rev. F. l.. Currey, OF
Lansing.
The institute was addressed, Friday
afternoon, by Prof. F. s. Goodrich,
of Albion, the Rev j. Percival Huget,
DR.. l. s. Morris and Miss Charlotte
Aikens, all OF Detroit, different de-
partments of Sunday school training
being taken up by these speakers. A

ell as POSTMASTER and Prof. Goodrich

program includes singing by male
quartet and soloists, and six pithy
talks OF seven minutes, each conclud-
ing with a 17-minute address by Prof.
Goodrich The Rev. Sherman l.. Dr.

terrain church, will give the invoca-
ton, and the speakers will be: George
