Speaker of the House Ridicules
Uplift Movement
"PURE ROT , " SAYS UNCLE JOE
Declares Former President Roos-
vslt's ' Country Life Commission Is a
"Flat Failure" Has No Patience
With Attempt to Relieve Condition *
That Are Not Understood.
Speaker Joseph G. Cannon in a re
cent after dinner speech before the
national city planning conference In
Washington dcnlt some hot shot to
ono of former President Roosevelt's
pet commissions nnd other curlositlua
of thu uplift movement.
The speaker took the following falls
out of the uplift :
"Don't try to relieve conditions that
you don't understand. "
"This country life commission that
has been trying to uplift the poor
farmer with theories ! I'll take oath
that they don't know what they are
talking about. "
"What they have compiled Is pure
rot. The commission is n flat failure. "
"The Idle rich bear about the
same relation to the great mass of
the t American people that the fly on
the clephant'ti trunk bears to the clo-
phaut. j , " '
"Tho people who do the most harm
nro those who give to what they call
charity either for notoriety or to bribe
God. "
"It Is well enough to plan for the
future of this country , " said Mr. Cannon -
non"thls country which Is to have
GOO.000,000 inhabitants In the years
to come. There are a great many
things which can be done In planning
for these years , but no plans thnt wo
in this generation can map out will
bo big enough or broad enough to meet
the coming noeds.
"I bid godspeed to this planning
thnt you nro working for , but for
heaven's sake don't follow the exam
ple of some nnd try to relieve condi
tions thnt you don't understand. I
have no patience with these theorists
who nro trying to relieve what they
are pleased to call the agricultural
section of this country. , There arc
several excellent gentlemen on the
country life commission , but what they
have compiled is pure rot. if what I
have rend of It Is a fair sample. The
country life commission Is a flat fall-
uro because It has dealt with condl
tlons that didn't require dealing with
by theorists and bccauso Its members
don't know what they nro talking
about.
"Open the sensational newspapers
and the magazines and you will read
all about the activities of the Idle rich.
their foolishnesses and their fads.
They are of no real consequence. They
bear about the same relation to the
great mass of the American people that
the fly on the elephant's trunk bears
to the elephant , but they give the
excuse for demagogues , who live not
by the sweat of their faces , but by the
sweat of thi'lr tongues , to Inveigh
against economic conditions existing
In this country. Thnt Is why they con
stitute a real evil. Once In awhile
when other methods of seeking notoriety
riety have failed they declare them
selves to he friends of the people and
proclaim themselves to be Socialists.
"I don't regret immigration. I would
not be here If It wasn't for that. I'd
be scattered over the continent of Eu
rope. There'd be n little of me In the
Low Counties , a mite in France , n portion
tion In Irel.ind. .some more In England
nnd Scotland. The great bulk of our
immigrants live by the sweat of their
faces , and any one who does that !
worthy to be given recognition In this
country of ours. "
Mr. Cannon paid a high tribute of
respect and admiration to Mrs. V. G.
Slmkhovltch of New York , a settle
ment worker , whose work centers In a
block In a New York city street In
which more than 1,000 persons live ,
Mrs. Slmkhovltch spoke In a quiet but
effective manner of her labors In this
congested district , where the work of
the settlement worker Is so often beset
with trials that demand forbearance
and endless patience.
The speaker found every reason to
believe that the world Is growing bet
ter each day nnd deprecated the exist
ence of pessimists whose chief mission
Is to flaunt discouragement before the
eyes of the public. _
A Story of Father M thew.
"Father Mathew was the roost lor
Ing nnd lovable of human beings , " nnd
in the light of this statement found in
a biography of the famous Irish priest
by Mrs. Katherlno Tynan Hlnkson
two Incidents of his crusade for tern-
peranco in the north of Ireland should
bo read.
At Clones , in Ulster , there were two
brange flngs raised when he visited
it. Instead of considering it ns an In-
Bult , bo thought it a very great com
pliment , never having seen ono or
been honored with one before. When
he saw them he called for three cheers
for the Orange flag. Commenting on
this , an Irish writer says :
"A Catholic priest calling for a cor
dial salutation of the Orange banner
and a .Catholic assembly heartily responding
spending was something almost Incon
ceivable. It bed never occurred before
in Ireland , , I'm afraid It baa never oc
curred since. "
For the time being there were good
will and friendly feeling from one end
of Ulster to the other. One recruit
who knelt for Father Mnthew's bless
ing snld :
"You wouldn't be blessing we if you
knew what I am. "
"And what are you , my dear ? " Fa
ther Mathew called men , women and
children 'my dear. "
"I am an Orangeman , your rever
ence. "
"Why , God bless you , my dear , I
wouldn't euro It you were a lemon

the plow works alike throughout the

TRIBUTE TO SIOUX INDIANS.
Small Band's Brave Deed to Be Com
memorated by a Monument.
After the lapse of well nigh half a
century the band of young Sioux In
dians known ns the "fool soldier"
band , which In November , 1802 , nt
great personal risk to themselves , res
cued nt a spot near the Missouri river
in what is now Walworth county ,
S. D. , two women and four children ,
whites , who had been abducted by a
roving band of Sioux from their homes
nt Lake Chetak , Minn. , are to be re
membered and their heroic behavior
commemorated by a suitable monument
ment
Under the auspices of the South Da
kota Historical society and the South
Dakota Pioneer association n granite
shaft will be erected on June 27 a
mile from Mobrldge , 3. D. , whcro the
rescue was effected.
The "fool soldier" band consisted of
eleven young Indian braves , and their
act was one of the exceptional deeds
of the aborigines In which the whites
were befriended at the risk of Incur
ring ostraclzatlon and the enmity of
not only their own tribe , but the entire
Sioux Nation , at the time powerful and
warlike.
After conceiving the Idea of saving
the white captives the young braves
watched with unceasing vigilance un
til the opportune time came , when they
secured possession of the captives and
rushed , them to a white settlement
whence they were returned to their
homes.
Wnlworth county was at that time
totally unsettled by whites , but after
the whites settled the country the
members of the baud were always welcome -
come guests at any whlto man's house ,
nnd nfter the Walworth County Old
Settlers' association was formed the
survivors of the band were features of
every reunion of the association.
The monument erected to their mem
ory will bo a plain granite shaft , stand' '
Ing upon two mammoth native bowl

account of the deed which won the In

dcn , N. Y. , Is on such a height and sur
rounded by so many leagues of path
less forest that nro his by right of pur
chase that ho can dwell thcro , if ho
chooucs , In an Isolation so splendid ns
. to be Incomparable with that enjoyed
by any other American multimillion
aire. It IB doubtful If Mr. Hnrrlman
In his wanderings over continental Eu
rope this summer will sco any castle
that can equal bis In its majesty of
view nnd aloofness from , yet geograph
ical ! nearness to , a vast center of popu
lation. ' " , „ !
The Hnrrlmnn homo at Anloa has
been building for nearly three years ,
and when ho went abroad recently ho
left orders that it must be ready for
his occupancy when ho returns lirthe
early autumn , that no expense was to
bo spared , that the work must be push
ed forwiird night and day If necessary ,
but that It must be finished.
The Hnrriuinn house at Ardcn con
forms to the rules of no style of archi
tecture except the rectangular school.
The dormer windows In the attic roof
are moro English In their design than
anything else. That Is the only feature
to which any architectural nationality
can be assigned. It looks more like nn
attempt to reproduce In stone on a
largo nnd modernized scale some old
New England farmhouse. It Is un
doubtedly designed more for use and
comfort than for anything else. It
contain * * seventy rooms , and twenty-
two of these are bathrooms.
It IViHt of gray stone with trim
mings of sandstone nnd Is In the form
of n cross. The entrance hall Is In
the west wing. This hall Is thirty feet
wide nnd fifty foot long. A Now York
city lot Is twenty-live feet wide , so
the spaciousness of this great entrance
hall may bo Judged by that. Off of
this Is the big living room , n chamber
so Inrge that It could easily contain
the floor space of the average seven
room , two thousand dollar uptown flat
without crowding. The other rooms
are proportionately spacious. The
windows on the first floor especially
nro large , some of them exceptionally
so. The last year or two Mr. Hnrrl-
inan has hnd a passion for an abun
dance of air and sunlight , nnd one can
easily Imagine him going over the
architect's plans and telling hliu , In
spite of his protests thnt It would tnnr
the harmony of the exterior , that cer
tain windows must be double the
width thnt he hnd indicated In bis
drawings.
Set on the apex of one of the high
est nnd steepest mountains of the
Ramnpos , the land originally sloped
abruptly away from the site of the
house. The art of the landscape art
ists has broken and softened these
declivities by the formation of a se
ries of terraces. Many of them had to
be blasted out of solid rock nnd their
sharp outlines smoothed over with
earth nnd turf , so that now the once
rugged outlines of the bowlder strewn
hilltop arc graceful In their descent to
the edge of the forest. In other places
the terraces rise vertically from the
edge of a cliff.
Hard by the house Is n great swim
ming ' pool of stone nnd cement , n bnth
whose size even Caesar or Carncnlla
might have envied hud Ilnrrlmnn lived
in Homo in their day nnd built his pal
ace there. About the grounds , too , arc
many sunken courts that in summer
will be filled with flowers. Through
the green shrubbery will shlno the
whiteness of marble statuary , and coo ?
fountains in the courtyards nnd Ital
ian gardens will plash nnd whNper all
night , long In midsummer when the cit
ies on the lowlands toward the sea ar J
swathed in torrid , humid air.
Beneath this commonplace looking
mansion , Is n network of tunnels for
the passage of servants , the convey
ance of everything needed. Some are
equipped with llttlo electric tramways
for the whisking of things to nnd fro.

BOY'S AIRSHIP MOTOR.
Small , Light and Powerful , It May
Revolutionize Aerial Navigation.
A now motor , the Invention of
Charles Godlove , n twenty-year-old 8t
Louis boy , which combines the best
features of the standard motors In a
simpler way , has recently been enter
ed nt the United States patent ofllco
for the American rights.
Owing to its light weight nnd email
size Godlove hopes this motor will
revolutionize aerial navigation. The
chief feature of the motor la the great
amount of horsepower thai can be oU-
tnlned In proportion to the size of the
machine. A thirty horsepower motor
will go within n sixteen Inch circle nnd
will weigh only sixty pounds. The
small size nnd light weight nro made
possible by the simplicity of the
mechanism.
The ignition system which necessi
tates a spark and carburetor Is elimi
nated. The Ignition" the gas Is
brought about by heat produced by
high compression of air. This docs
away with premature explosions of
the charge.
The motor has no valves or mechan
ism making use of valves , Is air cooled
and has a stationary crank shaft , the
cylinders themselves revolving. This
reduces the number of moving parts
nnd hence reduces the wear.
SHIP LEAK DETECTOR.
Device That Gives Warning as Soon as
Danger Appears.
Captain Joseph B. Williams of Pitts-
burg has completed an Instrument
which sounds an alarm when n ship
springs a leak , and the United States
has become interested.
The detector consists of n metal foof
on which rests n hollow cylinder to bo
placed nt the point In the hold of n
vessel where water might enter and
prove a danger If not Instantly detect
ed. This plpo is continued to the
bridge , pilothouse or other point where
nn ofllcor Is on duty. It ends In
n brass bowl , In the center of which
Is n diaphragm constructed of metal
and HO thin as to be susceptible to the
slightest pressure and so constructed
as to be air tight.
Itestlng on this diaphragm Is a pis
ton that projects through the top of
the bowl , where It may come In con
tact with metallic lips at each side.
Over all of this is an electric battery ,
nnd on top of the battery is a bell.
When the water enters the cylinder
down In the hold It drives air through
the tube to the diaphragm , which In
stantly expands nnd , lifting the piston ,
brings it In contact with the metallic
lips. This causes the alarm gong to
sound.
"GUESS YOUR SILHOUETTE. "
Washington Society Woman Evolves
New Qame For Summer.
To whllo away the torrid days of
Juno a Washington society woman
evolved nn amusing pastime. Gather
ing together n half score photographs
of her smartest friends , she had ouo

profiles in silhouette. At one of the
functions the shadow pictures were
brought out and a general guessing
contest instituted.
Not n girl In the crowd made a hit
on her own picture , though almost
everybody landed right on the first
guess In the cases of Mrs. Alice

Youthful Kansa * Financiers.
Some .yp.ung .boys near Alma , Kan. ,
have been practicing high finance re
cently by gathering crow eggs nnd
putting them In a hen's nest to be
hatched. In Kansas a bounty of 1
cent Is allowed for crow eggs , but
there Is a bounty of 6 cents on crows ,
and a sitting hen charges no commis
sion.
A Debtor's Woe. .
"The worst thing about owing people
ple , " sighed the woman , "Is that It
seems to give them the right to a k us
such personal nna Impertinent ques
tions about things that really should
be none of their business. I never
etave off my piano man , for example ,
that be doesn't ask bow It Is that I
