TO DEFEND
SELF OF CHARGES
Cannon Says He Will Issue
Full Statement as Soon as
Appeal Is Ended.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Bishop James Cannon, jr., successful
yesterday in having indictments against
him dismissed in District Supreme
Court, intends shortly to issue full
defense against the charges of corrupt
practices violation brought against him
He announced this intention last
night, at the same time pointing out
he would make no immediate comment
on the court case, in view of the possi-
bility of an appeal. The district attor-
ney's Office is preparing an appeal to
the District Court of Appeals.
Dismissed Yesterday.
Yesterdays dismissal was by Justice
James M. Proctor, on the ground that
the indictments, which named also
Miss Ada Burroughs, former secretary
of Bishop Cannon, did not make a
case of conspiracy as charged.
The Cannon defense, said the bis
hop, will present important facts Civ
ing such details as may be necessary
to explain satisfactorily to every fair
minded person the many misleading
statements which have been made be-
fore committees and which have ap-
peared in the press" regarding his acts
III Ine campaign against AlIred T..
Smith in 1923.
Will Appeal Monday.
Justice Proctor held the indictments
were void because they did not say
Miss Burroughs had knowledge of GER
tain sums of money given the South
ern Methodist churchman for his
campaign against Gov. Smith.
John J. Wilson, assistant district at
torney in charge of the case, said the
appeal would be filed Monday.
If the Court of Appeals upholds
Justice Proctor's ruling 1t probably
means the collapse Of the case against
Bishop Cannon, although the Govern
ment could then appeal to the Su-
preme Court.
Action to procure new indictments
cannot be taken now, the three-year
limit prescribed by the statute OF limita-
tions having expired.

NHE text Of President Hoover's
speech delivered at the White
House last night and carried by
radio to the Lincoln day dinner
of tho National Pop,ihlicap C1,h

speech delivered at the White
House last night and carried by
i radio to the Lincoln day dinner
of the National Republican Club
of New York City follows:
II deeply regret that public duties
make it impossible for me to be present
with you at your Lincoln day dinner
this evening. 1t is, however, privilege
and obligation for every American to
join even for few moments in tribute
to Abraham Lincoln.
II gave a brief address from this room
in the White House year ago tonight.
7 stated then that 1t was the room in
which a long line of Presidents from
Adams to Roosevelt have labored for
the single purpose of their country's
welfare. 1t was in this room from
which I am speaking that Lincoln
labored necessarily day and night for
the preservation of the Union. No one
can enter here without being sensitive
to those invisible influences of the men
who have gone before.
"It was from this window that for
five years Lincoln looked across the
Potomac upon a flag under which en-
battled forces threatened our national
unity. Unafraid, he toiled here with
patience, with understanding, with
steadfastness, with genius and courage
that those wounds of distraut nation
might be healed and that that flag
which waved over this house might be
restored as the symbol OF a united
country.
All Wounds Healed.
eve rightly look back upon that time
as the period of the greatest strain and
stress which has threatened our
country. But its wounds have long
since healed and its memories are of
the glorious valor and courage of our
race, both North and South. They
bring into bold relief memories of "a
great son Of America, who freed the
country from slavery, preserved the
solidarity of the Union, revitalized the
nation, reinspired the people with a
new purpose, and set for them new
destiny.
while we are in the midst OF the
difficulties of this day we may well en-
tertain the feeling that history will
record this period as one Of the most
difficult in its strains and stresses upon
the timbers of the Republic that has
been experienced since Lincoln's time.
There are enduring principles and ma
tional ideals to be preserved against
the preSsureS OF today.
1.-The forces with which we are con-
tending are far less tangible than those
of Lincoln's time. They are invisible
forces, yet potent in their powers as

The Libby Wpman's Club announces
in this issue, a rummage sale, proceeds
from which are to be turned over to
the Relief Committee. This is wise
action on the part of the Woman
Club. 1t is none too early to begin
planning for the demands that will be
made on relief organizations this win
ter. Anyone who has had any con-
tact with relief work during the sum-
mer now drawing to close knows
there will be a heavy demand on char
table sources this winter.
MANY men with families are still
out of work or have had only short
periods of work during the summer.
Their resources are exhausted and they
will be calling for assistance. Some of
them are worthy; some of them are
not. It is a difficult thing to separate
the worthy from the unworthy and ex-
tend assistance only to those who are
deserving lin every instance-the
unworthy were not given assistance, It
would mean that some mothers and
children would go cold and hungry and
poorly nourished One would need the
wisdom Of a Soloman and then heart
of stone to handle this matter of ex-
tending relief SO as to escape criticism.
The worthy and the unworthy are 60
ing to be asking for help again this
winter in rather large numbers and
the community may as well realize now
that some action must be taken to
provide the needed relief
In this connection, it can be said it
is very probable the handing out Of
relief will be scrutinized with great
care this winter. 1t would, therefore, be
wise for those who are out Of work
and whose resources are low to lay
in their winters supply of wood at
this time and do everything else that
is humanity possible to help themselves
through the winter. From what in
formation is available to this news
paper, we believe there is going 10 be
strong tendency to help those who
show an inclination to help themselves,
but those who are more than willing
to sit back with folded hands and re-
ly on charity are apt to meet with
considerable disappointment.
II is gratifying to see the Woman's
Club starting relief work at this early
date. Other organizations should also
have this matter in mind and should
begin to lay their plans.

ten; sometimes it has grown up, large
ly by general understanding, as in
England. 1t is very important that a
country should have a constitution.
Until very recently Russia was the most
prominent example of country with
out a constitution. The laws of that
country were such as the emperor, act
ing under the advice of his intimate
friends, might wish to make. They
could be changed or suspended at his
will. If he or his officers ordered can
non to be discharged into the peasants
on the streets of St Petersburg, there
was no law of the land to bring the
offenders to account. If the car waa
satisfied, no one could interfere by
law; while if a nihilist threw a bomb
under the carriage of prince and blew
him into eternity, the czar had full
authority to order the wretch executed,
with or without trial. and from his de-
cision there was no appeal. Without a
constitution the crimes of ruler cannot
be punished legally by the people. Alb
solute rulers have it in their power,
not only to punish, but to determine
whether the acts of the people are legal
or illegal"
The Constitution Of hte limited States
was the fruitage of centuries of bat
ting by the people for liberty and the
right to govern themselves. 1t is of in
estimahle value and while It is not
perfect and must inevitably be changed
as the thought of the world advances
yet the great privileges 1t grants
should be guarded with the greatest
care

child's principal interest centers about
school. 1t is the one place where he
can mingle on equal terms with all of
those around him. For several hours a
day he works and plays in the COM
pany of those of his own age. He learns
through the necessary discipline of the
schoolroom, to restrain such natural
impulses as tend to disorder, but he
learns from the contacts with other
boys not only the wisdom of non-in-
reference with the rights of others, but
the importace of standing up for his
own rights. In other words, the most
valuable function of the school is to
socialize its pupils, to help them to
learn how to live in the crowd.
In the old days of big families the
children learned those things from
their own brothers and sisters. Fam
lilies of eight or ten or more youngsters
are not SO common in these days, and
the discipline of the cowd is best en-
forced and learned in the school at
mosphere And it is becoming more and
more essential that our young folks
should go out into the world with a
better understanding of their place in
it
We think the best schools are the
ones in which the pupils are required
to do most for themselves and have the
least done for them by their teachers
and others All that any system of edu-
cation can do for any child is to slim
ulate him to use his own native in
telligence. But outside of the curricu-
lum, beyond and above the formal
routine Of the acquisition of knowledge,
far more important is the socializing
and eivilizing influence of constant as
ISOLATION with other young ones of
his own age.

SCHOOL DAYS

Another school year has begun
More children than ever went to school
at one time before, will spend the next
eight or nine months laying the foun-
dations for their independent and in
dlvidual lives. Some of them will learn
good deal. Some of them will not
learn very much. The one thing that
most children learn in school, and the
most important thing that any of them
learn is, after all, not what is in the
books but how to live.
It has always seemed to us that the
real life of the child is his or her school
lite. During these formative years the
