III KIDOIIIG MOOD Our Uncle Joe Pokes Fun at The Projects of Col. - Roosevelt, THEORETICAL UPLIFT ROT ANCIENT STATESMAN SAY8 THAT THE IDLE RICH CUT BUT LITTLE ICE THE TOILERS ONES WHO FIGURE. Washington, - May 24. Uncle Joe Cannon makes fun of President Roosevelt farming by commission ; be believes in Immigration, he doesn't believe in any kind of theoretical "rot" of uplifting, when the uplifters don't know what they are talking about; he believes that he would belong to Tammany Hall if he were in New York. He also is against the idle rich. These and some other sentiments the speaker uttered at a dinner which ended Sunday morning, marking the close of the interesting conference on city planning held here. , He Rose Steadily. , Speaker Cannon rose steadily in his place and spoke partly as follows on these themes: "It is well enough to plan for the future of, this country," said, Mr. Cannon, "this country which it to have 500,000,000 Inhabitants in the years to come. Tnere are a great many things which can be done in planning for these years, but no plana that we in this generation can map out will be big enough or broad enough to meet the coming needs. "I bid God-speed .to this planning that you are working for, but for heaven's cake don't follow the example of some and try to relieve conditions. that you don't understand. I have no patience with those theorists who are trying to relieve what they are pleased to call the agricultural sections of this country. : , , " Country Commission. "This Country Life Commission that has been trying to uplift the poor farmer with theories! They have been dish ing out literature on the subject, car loads of it. Heavenly Father, I'll take oath that they don't know what they are talking about.. There are several excellent gentlemen on V that commission, but what they have compiled is pure rot. if what I have read of it is a fair sample. The Country Life Commission is a flat failure, be cause it has dealt with conditions that didn't require any dealing with, by the orists and because its members didn't know what they were talking about. "Open the sensational newspapers and magazines and you'll read all abou.t the activities of the idle - rich their foolishness and their fads. They are of no real conoequence. They bear about the same relation to the great mass of the American people that an ant on the elephant's trunk bears to the elephant, but they give the excuse for demagogues who live, not by tho sweat of their faces, but by the sweat of the tongues, to inveigh against economic conditions existing in this country. That is why they constitute a real evil. Once in a while, when other methods of seeking notoriety have failed they declare themselves to bo friends of the people and proclaim themselves to be socialists. Those Who Do Harm. "Let me tell you that the people who do the most harm are the people who give to what, they call charity either for notoriety or to bribe. God tho people who would pauperise the poor. They are a real and a crying evil. "I don't regret imsnigration. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for that. I'd be scattered over the continent of Europe. There would be a little of me in the low countries, a mite in France a portion in Ireland and some more in England and Scotland. The great bulk of our Immigrants live by the sweat of their faces. Any one who does that is worthy to be given recognition in this country of ours." Mr. Cannon also paid his respects to Tammany Hall, the secret of whose success he declared to be its care for the common people, y "I couldn't be elected a constable in New York if I wasn't a member of Tammany, and I am not sure but that I would join that organization If I lived in that great city." -.. v. AWARD CONTRACT FORJIEW SCHOOL Building Is to Be Erected at Jacksonburg. The contract for the new school building to be erected at Jacksonburg has been awarded to J. L. Powers. The contract price is fIJOO. It will be a two room brick structure, modern in every respect. The present building at Jacksonburg has proved too small to accommodate the pupils. The contract for the new building; at Webster is to be let Thursday. This will be the largest building to be built in the county this year.

plaint in the rural districts against the purchase and use of the machines. The fanners objected to the county go ing In debt $95,000 to buy machines, but now they regard them as one of the best investments the county has made. They appreciate the saving that has resulted from the reduction of election expenses. Is an Enthusiast. Marion county can produce no more ardent enthusiast upon the subject of voting machines than County Auditor Sahm. . In speaking to the local delej gat ion he said their use has cut the election expenses in Marion county in the middle. He said the public now is would rise up in arms if deprived of them. "You can't beat them, as they are absolutely accurate." said Mr Sahm. "At first the farmers were op posed. Now they are . enraptured. You can scratch tickets better than by the Australian' system. Then the ra pidity of voting is a great thing. Only one man votes at a time,-but after he has become familiar with the machine, it doesn't take him more than a minute to bark his entire ticket. The machines have been so satisfactory in this county, the city is now talking of renting them. A number of precincts have been consolidated and this cuts the expenses in two. I was greatly surprised at the success of the machines and it was a revelation to everyone. I think the county would undergo a great injustice to be compelled to give up the machines." Get. Quick Results. "The voting machine is the best proposition ever put before the voting public," said County .. Assessor Womack. "You get quick results and they are entirely satisfactory. The party leaders are pleased, too. Of course, they cost money at the start to get them, but soon you cut down the expense and have the machines paid for by the saving. "The days of ",' party politics were numbered , when the voting machine came into use," stated Leonard Quill, county clerk. "The people vote for whom they want and party politics are passed up. . A man is not afraid of putting a cross in the wrong- square and forced to vote , a straight ticket any more. The people elect whom they want. Over here the people think it the only way to vote. There is no congestion even when the precincts are large. E. J. Robinson, county treasurer, said it is a great deal easier to vote independently on the machine than by the old system. Split tickets can be voted with, ease and , correctness. Thousands of persons were disfranchised by the old system whose votes now , count. The voting machine is the same to politics as the typewriter and adding machine are to the commercial world. Endorsement Given. Other county officials endorsed the sentiment of those quoted. They said there is no doubt but that machines ought to be used. The flattering reports made by other, men so encouraged the council and commissioners that it may be expected that when the time arrives, voters of Wayne county will have an opportunity to try casting their ballots on a mechanical contrivance. r f : -' Royal entertainment was provided the local delegation by Mr. Davis. He met the party in this city and accompanied it to Indianapolis. Following the visit at the court house, which was one of pleasure, as exceptionally courteous treatment was accorded by the Marlon county officials, dinner was taken at the hoard of trade building. In the afternoon the Wayne countians saw the Indianapolis baseball team triumph over the Louisville, in a twelve inning contest. It was the first professional game Barney Linderman ever saw and Caleb King said it was different from three corner cat. Following the game, the bunch from home separated, but those whom he could corrall, Mr, Davis took to supper at the Denison cafe. The evening was spent at the Grand. Mr. Davis was made the recipient of congratulations and expressions of gratitude by his guests before departing. Councilman Knipe, of Dublin, was the only absent official. He was detained by illness: Col. Wiley, president of the board of "commissioners, did not arrive until dinner time. "They couldn't lose him. Reversed the Verdict. A prominent citizen of a large town went raging into the electric light company's office and declared that one of their wires had killed a pet tree on his premises. "That tree," said he. "has been standing there for twenty years, and we regarded it as one of the family. My children played under it when they were babies, and it is associated with some of the pleasantest memories of my life. When it began to die we all mourned, and we could not imagine what ailed it until yesterday, when I noticed that a wire was lying right across a branch. My poor tree has been electrocuted, and I feel as if murder has been done in my boose. Considerably moved, the agent of the company went te view the scene of the tragedy and found the trees still alive, but feeble. When he came to trace the wire he discovered one end nailed to the roof of an old barn and the other twisted around a discarded pole. It had been cot off for at least two years and forgotten. But the occasion demanded something, so he made the foOowtDg report: - Tree alive: wire dead. Wire evi dently UQed hy tese. Bill

STILL A JAKE TOWN Business Men of Indianapolis Start Fight on Sunday Baseball. DRAWS HUNDREDS TO CITY Indianapolis, May 24. An affidavit was filed in the criminal court this morning by Frank McCrea, an insurance man, against manager Carr of the Indianapolis American Association baseball club, charging him with "en gaging in his usual vocation as a professional ball player on Sunday and that it was not for charity, or not necessary." McCrea is supposed to represent the business men interested in fighting the Sunday baseball law. Since the season opened, Sunday games have been largely attended and thousands of excursionists from out of town have attended. LOUR HEIR Former King of the Wheat Has . a Bouncing Baby Boy. Pit IS WEALTHY YOUNGSTER Chicago, May 24. A baby boy was born to Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Leiter at 2:30 o'clock this morning at the family residence of the Letters, 234 Lincoln Park boulevard. To quote the elated nurse, the heir to the Leiter millions, is a "fine big boy." "Mother and child are both doing splendidly," said Miss Melady, a member of the Leiter household. Mrs. xiter is a daughter of Col. Williams of the U. S. A. She is a tall stately woman of distinguished bearing. ;' Her marriage to "Joe" Leiter, theretofore one of . the most incorrigible bachelors in the country, was one of the most brilliant events in Washington society. The ceremony was performed June J.O, 1906. Mr. and Mrs. Leiter arrived in Chicago from Washington six weeks ago. -A Vlmple 'Wate? tesC All drinking water should be tested In town or country frequently, as there are other impurities besides sewage which are quite as deadly, and every cistern of water is liable to be a source of blood poisoning. Mice, rats and other pests must have water, and many a case of typhoid is set up by such as these falling into the cistern and remaining there for months in a decomposed state. To detect this Impure condition is very simple and unfailing. Draw a tumbler of water at night, put a piece of white ramp sugar into it and place it on the kitchen mantel shelf or anywhere that the temperature will not be under, 60 degrees F. In the merning the water, if pure, will be perfectly dear. If contaminated by sewage or other impurities the water will be milky. This is a simple and safe test, well known la chemistry.

GOOD PRESS AGENT Preacher Draws Big Crowd to Church With a Brass Band. NEW METHOD IS ENDORSED Chicago, May 24. In order to at tract a crowd to his church, Rev. T. Barker, of the First Congregational church, Maywood, led a brass band of 35 pieces through the streets of that suburb. Seven hundred people follow ed the band to church. "My method in church work may appear novel," said Mr. Barker, "but it has the support of the leading mem' bers of the church and of several weal thy men and women of the town who have promised to stand by me in a re ligious campaign. ' Everyone seemed interested. The band quickly attracts a crowds and gives me an opportunity to address in the streets, persons who never think of attending church, and give them an invitation to come and hear a short talk. I will continue to employ the band during the summer. It surely does give interest to the singing." The FieMine Maoris. Some 830 Maoris were abut up in Intrenebmeats at a place called Orakaw. Without food except a few caw potatoes, without water, pounded at by artillery and under a hall ef rifle bullets and band grenades, nnsucc urn fully assaulted n less than Ave times, they held out for three days, completely surrounded. General Cameron humanely sent a flag of truce, inviting them to surrender honorably. To' this they made the ever famous reply: "Enough! We fight right on foreverr Then the general offered to let the women come out, and the answer was. The women will fight as we." At length on the afternoon of the third day the garrison to a body charged at quick march right through the English lines, fairly jumping over the beads of the men ef the Fortieth regiment as they lay behind a bank. Half of them fell; the remainder got clear away. The earthworks and the victory remained with us. but the glory was theirs." "The Long White Cloud," by W. P. R - Ferae Himself.

Prince Dschavakoh, his family and seven servants were murdered in their mansion in the Geroi district, according to a report received here today from TienUe.

Not satisfied they repeatedly stabbed their victims and then plundered the house and fled. TWIN EARTHQUAKES. Two Distinct Series ef Shoeka Are Felt Almost SimuHaneewely. Among the most interesting earth tremors from a scientific point of view are those known as "twin earthquakes," where two distinct aeries of shocks are felt, separated by an Interval of two or three seconds. In each series the ' vibrations Increase to a maximum and die away,' the whole duration, including the quiet Interval, being eight to twelve seconda In some parts of the earthquake zone the most powerful shoeka are nearly always of this kind. When they occur, however, there Is always a strip of country where only one shock Is felt Apparently there are two distinct points of origin for these shocks, and the strip where a single shock is felt Is that where the two sets of vibrations arrive simultsneeuely. The fact that this band to straight shows that the twin shocks occur together and that therefore one is not a consequence of the ether. Probably there is an 8 shaped bend In some Interior layer ef rock and the twin foci are at the points of greatest displacement namely, the bends of the S. The movement that causes such a twin earthquake therefore results in accentuating the form of the fold la the earth's crust New York Herald.
