Hems Gathered In From Far and Near
Tha Various Governorships. From the Memphis News-Scimitar.
An exchange, sneaking of Nicky
Longworth and the governorship of Ohio, declares that the republican
convention couldn't nominate him and
keep Its face - straight Kicky may never get the governorship, hut you can't separate him from the Inlaw whom he annexed some years ago. From the Boston Advertiser. "Not If 1 know anything about lC is Mr.. Loeb's- comment on his gubernatorial prospect However, it party expediency, or other considerations of a more general nature, strongly Indicate the . outcome along thoso lines, pre sumably the political operation might be accomplished under an anesthetic From the Providence Evening Tribune K the "best man for governor of New York" is nominated, as -he colonel Insists he should be, It will be Interesting to read what the opposition says about him. From the Houston Post President Wood row Wilson of Princeton says he would deem it his duty to accept the democratic nomination for governor of New Jersey If tendered him. Dr. Wilson finds It Impossible to cure that old yearning for political preferment, and hanged f wo) don't hope he'll get it From the Springfield Union. , The reported refusal of Mayor Gaynor to be considered for the nomination for governor of New York this fall will disappoint many democrats
Down here in the Sixth District where once Jim Watson held sway , and had us all clamped down, the little by-play o verbal tennis between Our Jim and Mr. Hamilton Fish of New York Is Indeed interesting. Mr. Watson has a way with "him that is quite irresitlble. Mr. Wat- - son has given himself a clean bill of health. It looks as if Mr. Fish ' had been slightly clumsy in his work. But maybe Mr. Fish is not in tha , Jeffries class yet Well, let's wait Barred of all details Mr. Fish Insinuated that Mr. Watson knows something of the inner workings of congress.' That, after the doleful year in which Indiana failed to elevate Jim to the office of chief executive Mr. Watson went back to Washington and acted as attorney for certain corporate Interests and mode more money at that business than he did at the business of legislation. Well, well, it will be hard to convince anyone down here in the Old Burnt District than any ot that Is so. What's all this talk about "secret evidence" and the Insinuation that Jim knows anything about the inside workings? Crude work. Does any one think for a minute that Jim had ' to be at the hearings in order to find out about things? Does anyone think that Mr. Watson Is a common every day lobbyist? There is some little feeling abroad down here that anyone with the friendship of Mr. Joseph Gurney Cannon does not haveto rustle "round on the floor makjng a sideshow out of a diplomatic errand. When a man has arrived at -that degree of power and 'fluence'that in the hour of storm and stress none other than The Imperator, The Czar, The Caesar calls on Jim to straighten out things tor him what use is there In asserting that Mr. Watson does work in the corridors. Mr. Watson has cleared himself. '"I defy Mr. Fish to produce a single, member of Congress who will say that I ever approached him to secure his Influence on anything "save alone in regard to the creation ot a tariff commission." ' Good form, splendid execution! That is like old times.
James E. Watson Denies That
He Lobbied For Tariff Bill
The Sixth District does not credit the scandalous accusations of Mr. Fish. - But there is one thing that it is interested in. Mr. Watson also indulges in some guess work. He is now guessing that some Indiana man has just gone and put young Mr. Fish up to the scandalous story about Mr. Watson representing .the corporations down there in Washington. That is the lurking suspicion in Mr. Watson's heart. We are sorry that young Mr. Fish haa been misled by any one in Indiana perhaps it was Mr. Watson himself.
HORNS A PLENTY We had supposed that the main object of an automobile horn was to be heard and not seen. Often we have thanked the lucky constellation that a horn made a noise. Many men have paid the penalty of not heeding the raucous squawk. The music of the spheres has it all over the automobile horn when It comes to the vibrations but if you desire to see stars rather than to hear 'em the straight tip is not to pay any attention to the horn unless you are waiting for the real Gabriel trump. But when it comes to automobtiists advising the Rest of Us to Go Out Into the Tall Grass we believe that ought to be made in the form of an invitation.

JAMS E. WATSON. OF RUSRVIXJJB,
SUNDAY BASEBALL , Up in Kokomo last Sunday the pastors of several churches went out to the ball game in the afternoon and delivered their sermons. The crowd did not take kindly to it at first but after a while applauded the work. There is a growing feeling that if the church is successful it will , have to go to the peoplenot to expect the people to go to church. The ' statement may be alarming but it is only one of fact It will be found in studying the Salvation Army that that institution has never balked at hunting up the people. The Sermon on the Mount was not delivered in' the synagogue. If the church is regarded as a place of amusement and entertainment it falls. Other things should and do entertain more than the church. The ideal should be religion in, men's hearts not in confining church walls. The Kokomo experiment shows that the men up there in the ministerial work have at least seen the problem.

Cannon in Kansas. From the Columbia State. ' We were about to remark that this time it is Cannon, that has "broke loose in Kansas," but on second thought the old saying probably needs no change. From the Philadelphia Telegraph. There is reason to believe that Speaker Cannon would have preferred to slip that chipped ico down Vic Murdock's back. From the Milwaukee Journal.
"Behold me Beelzebub," is the way
Cannon introduced himself down in
Kansas. Joseph could have conserved
his speech by the simple expedient of showing his hoofs and horns and established his identity without further cavil. From the Omaha Bee. It takes more than the muckrakers and a Kansas sun to put "Uncle Joe" out. From the Buffalo News.
Many a man has calmly consigned
Uncle Joe to the infernal regions. His swift come-back in Kansas shows that he can stand the climate if he does not have to talk too much. From the Syracuse Herald. . It was not surprising that Uncle Joe should finally collapse from the heat, considering how long he had been .warm In the region of the collar. From the Duluth News-Tribune. Maybe it was not so much the heat that affected Uncle Joe in Kansas as the cold wave from his audience. Many another man has mistaken a frost for a scald. From Memphis Commercial-Appeal Out in Kansas Uncle Joe lost his wind, but held on to his nerve.

Rushville, Ind., July 27 Former Representative James E. Watson has made the following statement: "The Hon. Hamilton Fish, member of Congress from New York, in a speech made at Utica in that state last Saturday evening, is alleged to have made an attack on me with reference to my 'activity In helping to frame the Payne-Aldrich tariff law.' and to have animadverted in severe terms upon my supposed connection with 'the Inter
ests' during the session of Congress that passed that act. In the course of his remarks Mr. Fish is reported to have said: "He (Mr. Watson) was a member of the Ways and Means Committee and House of Representatives when Mr. Payne first began his hearings on the tariff bill. Those hearings were secret at first They sent out questions to be answered to our consuls, etc. The documents were supposed to be secret. "Mr. Watson had access as a member of the Ways and Means Committee to those documents. " "Whether he availed himself of that knowledge or not afterwards, I am un
able to state, but suffice to say that
Mr. .Watson resigned from Congress,
ran for Governor of the state of In
diana and was one of the few members ot the state ticket of the Republicans who was defeated.
"This ,entir statement is as full ot misstatements as he could possibly
have made it" Not Member of Committee.
"In the first place I was not a mem
ber of the Ways and Means Commit
tee at the beginning of the tariff in
vestigation by that committee as Mr. Fish might have ascertained had he cared to tell the truth.
"I was nominated for Governor in April, 1908, and I resigned from the Ways and Means Committee shortly after .that time and before a single hearing had been given by that committee. "I resigned in order that Judge Crumpacker might be appointed in my place, and I resigned 'when I did in order that he might be present at all the meetings during the investigation.
I never attended a single meeting of
the Ways, and Means Committee after
my nomination for Governor, as the minutes of that committee will " disclose, nor was I ever present in that committee room at any session of that committee during the hearings on the tariff bill. "I never attended one single tariff hearing by either House or Senate committee during the preparation of that law. "I defy Mr. Fish to produce the minutes of any committee meeting, or to produce any person, member or non-
member who is willing to say that he ever saw me in the Ways and Mean's Committee room during its hearing on the tariff question. "In the second place, I did not look up the secret evidence taken by that committee. If any secret evidence was taken I never heard of it, and it would have been an easy matter for Mr. Fish to ask Mr. Payne whether I had access to those documents, or, in fact, ever did use them, or even see them. Purpose of Attack. "Inasmuch as that statement was based upon my being a member of the committee, however, I need give it no further attention. He then says whether or not be availed himself of that knowledge or not afterward, I am unable to state, etc. Then why did be mention it at all? .Manifestly for the purpose of besmirching me. He could have had no other object, and this was evidently the sole purpose ot his attack. Mr. Fish then continued: "Mr. Watson then went on to Washington. He appeared afterward as the special representative of interests which had to do with the making up of
the schedules of the tariff, appeared as the paid attorney of those interests and used his influence as an old mem. ber of the Ways and Means Committee in the framing of the tariff. "The statement was made that Mr. Watson's fees as special representative of interests which had to do with the making up of the schedules of the tariff, appeared as the paid attorney of those interests and used his influence ad an old member of the Ways and
Means Committee in the framing of the tariff. "The statement was made that Mr. Watson's fees as special representative for certain parties before the Ways and Means Committee were larger than he received for his term In Congress." "This statement is as unfounded as the other, I defy Mr. Fish to produce a single member of Congress who will
say that I ever approached him to secure his inHuence on any matter relating to legislation save alone in regard to the creation of a tarift commission. "Representing the National Association of Manufacturers, Boards of Trade and commercial bodies throughout the country, I did labor with the individual members of the Ways and Means Committee of the House and the Finance Committee of the Senate to create a board of tariff experts, and I was present with Mr. Van Cleave and Mr. Schwedtman when Senator Aldrich prepared the present law on that subject.' Asks Name of Informant "The statement was made, says he, that Mr, Watson's fees as special representative for certain parties before the Ways and Means Committee' were larger than he received for his term in Congress. "Statement made by whom? Why does not Mr. Fish give the name of his informant? It might perhaps be some one we all know, it might even be some citizen of Indiana. "I repeat that I was not once in the Ways and Means Committee room, either as a representative of any 'interest or otherwise during the entire course of the tarift hearing, and this fact Mr. Fish could have readily ascer
tained by asking any member of the
Ways and Means Committee or by consulting its printed minutes. I represented no 'interest' save the one heretofore mentioned, and I labored with no member of the Ways and Means Committee or other member of Congress save alone to secure the formation of "a tariff commission. This I did in private conversation and by personal argument and persuasion and
not In any public hearing, and not in the Ways and Means Committee room. 'The whole story is false and defamatory and was made solely with that end in view, because i happen to have been an active supporter of some views of government with which Mr, Fish, as far as he knows, is not in accord.
