ROANOKE, Va, October (Py,-
Bishop James Cannon, jr., was present
at todayS session of the Baltimore Con-
ference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South, although he had termed
his speech crlticizing Presiding Bishop
Edwin MouEon for alleged discourtesy.
a farewell address" After speaking
from the floor of the conference to say
that he was amazed at the treatment
accorded him, Bishop Cannon indicated
that he would leave Immediately to re-
turn to Washington. Later, however,
ne said his plans were indefinite.
Bishop Cannon charged Bishop Mou-
ION alone and not the conference with
discourtesy.
Whatever may be the personal Atti-
tude of the presiding bishop" he said,
he is the representative of the church
in his official activities and I as o
bishop Of our great church cannot ac-
cept such treatment without an express
sion Of my ama1ement.
While I have no personal feeling in
this matter, / have been amazed that
any bishop of the Methodist Episcopal
intentionally unmindful Of the courtesy
so uniform under such circumstances
as to request a bishop of our own
church to rise to be introduced from
the floor without an invitation at that
time or at any other time, either pub
licly or personally, to take seat upon
the platform"
Bishop Mouzon has declined to COM
nnent concerning the criticism made by
the visiting bishop.
Bishop Cannon told newspaper men
after the session that Bishop Mouzon
had sent MIN a telegram asking him
not to come to the conference or make
a speech. He said his reference on the
floor to a farewell address" meant he
was leaving the conference and return
ing to Washington.
A hush fell over the conference az
Bishop Cannon began his remarks. He
said he had been a member of the Viz
ginia Conference since 1888 and had
attended from rs to 100 sessions of
annual and general conferences before
without witnessing such treatment OF a
visiting bishop.
He said it was customary for visiting
bishops to be introduced from the plat
form and to be invited TO take a seat
there. He expressed appreciation for
expressions of confidence and esteem
which I have received from many
preachers and laymen Of this confer
ence."
Bishop Mouzon listened without
changing expression. and at the con-
cluSion Of Bishop Cannon's short speech
said, Are there any further announce
ments?"
The speech made by Bishop Cannon
had not been formally presented to the
conference in writing. and Bishop Mou-
ION requested copy. This was filed
after adjournment by Bishop Cannon.

THE PEOPLE PAY
w. c. COSTELLO
Manager

The county superintendent of schools
in appearing before the board of super
visors this week with the school budget,
cited some glaring examples of ineffici-
ent government, which emphasize the
laxity in our present system of doing
things as pointed out in the recent Press
article on the need of a charter for this
county.
Failure of school trustees to cooperate
in reducing expenses, is costing the tax
payers plenty of money each year. 1t is
not likely that creation of charter gov
ernment would correct the evils as they
apply to schools, but the school evils and
the evils in county government are par
allel.
Oil that costs the supervisors S1.53 a
barrel, costs the schools 50. Pencils are
another item on which the superintendent
points out great saving could be made,
if purchases were made through one
source.
1t is quite apparent that some school
trustees carry on their work in the same
spirit that too many officials do. They
do not ask themselves, Am | giving the
citizens and taxpayers the same sort OF
service in conducting their business that
l do in conducting my own affairs!
More likely the question asked is, Shall
/ sacrifice little of the authority that
is mine?" In too many cases the answer
is No.
Spending the peoples money, whether
it be on school boards, road districts,
paving contracts or what not, gives little
concern to some officials. But can they
be held altogether to blame? Certainly
not when the expenditure of their money
is matter of such little concern to the
great majority of taxpayers.
The ego that prevents an official from
giving an inch, when it might possibly be
construed as reducing his Importance,
even though it is in the interest OF effi-
cheney, is costing the public plenty OF
dollars.
Superintendent Collins is to be com,
mended for exposing conditions and
merits the support of the taxpayers IN
his efforts to bring about efficiency and
economy.

Here is to be found the fan palm

tree native to the United States.

groves of these trees, all OF which

More than 1000 individual fan

Frederick Law Olmsted, the direc
| tor Of the state park survey, who
selected and recommended this
site for acquisition by California.
points out in his report the very
serious danger of the determination
of the desert trees, shrubs. and
flowers which now threatens be-
cause of the filing of homesteads
on the desert areas. Once des-
troyed. il is almost impossible to re-
place the plant life OF the desert, he
says. David p Barrows, former
president of the University OF CAL
ifornia, writes of the Borego Palms
Canyon region: THE approach to
these spots is sudden and the sight
most unexpected an d amazing.
Such luxuriant, tropical vegetation
would never be looked for in the
midst of such sterile surroundings.
The pools of water impounded IN
the bottoms of the canyons explain
their presence.
The California State Park survey
made for the governor and the leg
islature by Olmsted, recommends
that desert areas be acquired large
enough for future generations to
enjoy in perfection the essential
desert qualities The Borego site
under consideration is estimated to
include between 10000 and 100000
acres.

UNCLE WIGGILY's JOLLY RIDE

Hiding beneath a thick bush at
the edge of the park, near a city
street, Uncle Wiggily looked at the
tagging boy and the kind Police
man. The boy had been chasing
the rabbit gentleman who jumped
into the thick bush to hide. And
the boy had run SO far through the
park, trying to tag and catch Uncle
Wiggily, that he was lost.
I mean the boy was lost. Uncle
Wiggily was somewhat lost, also.
That is, he was a long way from
his hollow stump bungalow in the
country.
But I think I can find my way

go through many miles of streets.
There will be other boys on the
streets and they may want to chase
me or play tag with me as this boy
did who got lost and who is being
taken home by Policeman. Dear

Uncle Wiggily liked boys and girls
| but he didn't want them to chase
him. And there were SO many auto
mobiles, trolley cars, wagons, buses,

man felt very unhappy as he
] thought of making his way among
them.
If could only get ride back
! home to my dear old stump bunga-
low in the country, all would be
peace and happiness" sighed Mr..
F., Longears.
Just then, all of a sudden, he
heard a rafting sound in the street
near the edge OF the park where he
was hiding beneath bush. Look
ing cute Uncle Wiggily saw ram
shackle, old vegetable wagon drawn
I by a big, bony white horse. The
wagon was filled with apples,
oranges, beans, lettuce, cabbage
and carrots.
"Oh, those vegetables remind me
of home!" whispered Uncle Wiggily.
There was a man sitting on the
seat of the wagon and behind him
were piled the vegetables. Close to
! the entrance of the park the man
stopped his bony, white horse near
a fire hydrant that had on it a
faucet like the one in a kitchen
sink.
Il can give you a drink here,
horsie," said the man, getting off
his wagon with a changing tin pail
in his hand. He opened the faucet.
The water splashed into the pail
and the thirsty horse looked around
anxiously. He stuck out his red
tongue.

man is watering his horse III jump

vegetables.
