AS BODY CANNON
IS Laid TO REST

Danville, Ill, Nov. 16.-P)-Under
the branches of redhaw tree etched
against gray November sky, the body
of Joseph Quincy Cannon was commit
ted to the grave today with a SIM
plicity which belied his crowded half
century and more of public service.
In keeping with his own dislike of
ostentation, the man who served for
more score years in Congress and who
held its sceptre for almost decade
with a hand of iron. was buried as a
private citizen.
But not even the desire of his fam
lily for simple funeral could quench
the spontaneous tribute which follow
ed Uncle Joe's body to the family lot
among the rolling hills of Vermilion
county.
officials of the state and nation min
gled at the grave with an outpouring
of thousands of his townsfolk. Only
a few of them knew him except in ira
dition, as the fiery young attorney who
chose a public career while Lincoln
was aspiring to the White House. but
most of them remembered the Cannon
of his prime, a figure without parallel
in national politics.
Long before the hour set for the fu-
neral ST. James Methodist church
overfowed with the throng which con-
verged at Vermilion street and swept
down past the Cannon home to the
place of worship.
AS the pipe organ sounded funeral
march the coffin was carried to the
front of the church. The Rev. T. H.
Ewing. Cannon's pastor, paid simple
eulogy to his memory and said a
prayer. A quartet sang Uncle Joe's
most loved hymn, Now We Leave
Thy Servant Sleeping"
Behind Miss Helen Cannon and Mrs.
Mabel Lezure, daughters, and other
members of the mourning party, sat
Vice President Charles G. Dawes, Gov
ernor Len Small and other officials of
the state and nation.

KEEP POLITICAL
LIBERTY, ADVICE
PRESIDENT GRAY

Boston, Nov. 16.-tP)-A plea FOR
private life was made here today by
President Clifton d. Gray of Bates
College, Lewiston, Me-, in an address
in Kings chapel as a part of the OBJ
servance of college presidents week.
Despite constitutional guaranty of
freedom of speech and press and of
a free church in a free state. "our
freedom is constantly imperilled," DR..
Gray said. Whatever binds the hu-
man mind. be it dogma of the past or
a statue of the present, Is treason to
the truth. Certain facts in our rev.
dictionary history become unpalat-
able to some of our citizens and
straighaway new text books are de-
manded with revised slants to please
this or that group.
IF we are to escape BONDAGE of the
mind We must hold fast to the great
American tradition of political liberty.
This means freedom of opinion and
unhindered public discussion. Have
we q bolsheviSt among us? Let us
provide a. Hyde Park or Boston Com
mon for him In every city. 1t is only
pent-up ropaganda that possesses ex-
plosive possibilities.
Because of the primary nature of
it's tasll-to know the truth. the whole
truth and nothing but the truth about
science. philosophy, history and what
not-the college serves no secondary
interest. 1t knows no parties. no
sects, no schools of thought. Our col
leges are the organized embodiment of
the intellectual curiosity of the race.
ITO be hospitable to all truth,
whether new or old; to distinguish
between what is true and false: to
choose good instead of evil and, in
place of good the better and the best
this is the great objective Of college

BEWARE THE
COUGH OR COLD
THAT HANGS ON

Persistent coughs and colds lead to seri.
ous trouble. You can stop them now with
CreomuIsion, an emulsi6ed creosote that
is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is a new
medical discovery with two-fold action; it
soothes and heals the inhamed membranes
and inhibits germ growth.
Of all known drugs, creosote is recog-
nized by high medical authorities as one
Of the greatest healing agencies for persis-
tent coughs and colds and other forms Of
throat troubles. Creomulsion contains, in
addition to creosote, other healing ele-
ments which soothe and heal the infected
membranes and stop the irritation and
inflammation, while the creosote goes on
to,the stomach, is absorbed into the blood,
attacks the seat of the trouble and checks
the growth of the germs.
Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfac-
tory in the treatment of persistent
coughs and colds, bronchial asthma,
bronchitis and other forms of respira-
tory diseases, and is excellent for build
ing up the system after cclds or flu.
Money refunded if any cough or cold is
not relieved after taking according to
