'-" Kansas Insurgent Talks of Wlatleld Speech, lu Which Ha Makes Claim of Exposing Alleged Trust Orgnnlintlon. TOPEKA, July 19. Senator Joseph L, Brlstow, the "insurgent," In a speech here this afternoon, pronounced Speaker Cannon. , poor Judge of rubber. Speaker Cannon, at Burllngam yesterday, replying to a former speech of Senator Brlstow's said the sen ator had either'"wlllfully or knowingly or ignorantly," misrepresented the facts when he said that the Increased duty on manu factured rubber had resulted In a lament- tile decrease In importations of that com modity. The senator, Mr. Cannon said, liked .to brand everybody who disagreed with him as dishonest and that these remarks on rubber gave him a chance to accuse Mr. Aldrich of being a member of the rubber trust. Robber and Rubber. Mr. Cannon," said Mr. Brlstow this aft moon, "forgets that there is rubber and rubber. When he says that, the Increased uties on manufactured rubber did not re suit in a decrease in Importation he would seem to refer only to hard rubber, the kind that Is sometimes used In making rules. Let the speaker look up the robber question nd he will find that there are several kinds of elastic or soft rubber to which my statements apply exactly." ; " I am told that Speaker' Cannon said he did not know that Senator Aldrich organ ized a tf ust. In my ' Winf leld address I set forth facts as contained In official documents, in Poor's Manual and in the Wall Street Journal, which are considered reliable authority by every business man In this country. "Whether or not Senator Aid' rich Is guilty of a technical violation of the statutes I do not know. It la the duty of the attorney general of the United States to Investigate violations of the Sher man anti-trust law. But I do know that he Is guilty of violation of political 'de cency, of political honesty. "It would have been better taste for Speaker Cannon to demand that his com mittee of representatives stand by the house tariff schedule than to ask them to siana xor tne Aiaricn schedule, and then. that' Cannon t hould come to Kansas to de fend the tariff bill and the men who dic tated Its passage."

ALMA, Kan., July 19. Speaker Joseph G Cannon arrived at this county seat town ahortly before noon today and waa escorted by an automobile parade to the court-house lawn, where he-delivered the speech' of this his last day in the Kansas primary campaign. Mr. Cannon plunged directly Into an at tack on insurgency. "Whenever," said he. "you hear a man talking about how In con gress he Is going to kick out of the party traces, telling about how he Is going to be a reformer and straighten out things when you get a fellow that talks like that you want te watch him. i oenevo in organisation when I see peo ple proclaiming their own wisdom, and that they and God are a majority and that they won't work with anybody else. When I hear that kind of talk I sometimes think that the Insane asylums are not large enough. Why am I talking this way? Because I am trying to show that -we must co-operate. I . believe in two parties one to watch the other. There ought to be a well-organized minority to hold the majority In check. "I have high, respect for a man who hon estly differs from me on governmental policy. I am a republican every day. I am a partisan and have been since I voted for Lincoln." At 'this point Speaker Cannon discussed the prosperity of the country since 1897, and then said: "I sometimes wonder why men that kick out from their party organization think they are wiser than anybody else, why they can t learn something. There are lots of things that I don't get my way about In the republican party, but I abide by the will of the majority. , Tha man that kicks out of the traces like a balky mule ought to get out of the team. . "In the framing of tho tariff bill seven senators Brlstow, La Follette, Clapp, Bev erldge and company and twenty-three rep resentatives said If you won't let us sav how this tariff shall be framed we won't play In the game.

Xo nolle of the Intention to strike ap peurs to have been given by the men, who declare that the move Is in "protest against the generally tyrannical methods of tbe Pffirlal." Ancient history tells how cackling geese awoke the gusrds In time to save the burn ing city, and much consideration bas ever since been shown to the goose family In acknowledgment of that thoughtful cackle fest A few skeptics, however, have gone on record with pessimistic declaration to the effect that the geese merely cackled because they, bad nothing at the moment more urgently bulletined on their nightly calendar, and that after all, there was really no studied desire to sav the Scorch ing burg. Which contrary , interpretation of the cackling geeae and tbe burning city epi sode has given rise to a doubt as to whether a goose has sense. If any there be who doubt, let th skeptio journey out ou the Benson car line Bear th Hamilton street Intersection and listen to patriarchs of that bailiwick tell how last evening a flock of geese stopped a car In time to give a lame grandfather goose tlm to waddle off th track.

He was particularly pleading fr the co-operation of advertising clubs In bringing to the attention of the farmer new ftnd Improved methods of agriculture whesrby farm crops may be increased and the drudgery of farm life lessened, so that Immigration to cities from the country may ') be stopped. Enthusiastic Texans moved a vote ef thanks to the governor and also a resolu tion that the president appoint a committee of five to work along the Hue suggested. .

B. Humphrey of Boston Was another speaker who had some Instruction to glv. He described the way Boston has or ganized its ad clubs and organisation Into a, sort of board of trade to advertise tba city. Th speaker then axplained how, by offering prizes for municipal adver tisements and using the local papers, an city may well exploit Itself. Timothy W. LaQuatt of Dei Moines also had a word to aay about advertising & city. The expedients had been, pretty well developed In that city, h Said.

At the close of the session President Dobbs announced he would later in th convention appoint a committee on edu cation to disseminate end develop the idea which had been offered in th meeting. Texas Visitor's Adventure With Misguided Trunk This is not exactly a heart-throb story of the Joe Mitchell 'Chappie type, yet there was more or less heart fluttering when j William A. Rice, business manager of the Amarlllo Polly Js'ews, who Is In Omaha for a summer vacation, opened a trunk that he supposed to be his, but wasn't. Expecting to be away from Amarlllo for several weeks, Mr. Rice' packed his trunk rather liberally as to sartorial equipment, and soon after arriving In Omaha he had the trunk rempved to his room. Desiring to gentleman would consent to wear. What r. Klce said well, his utterance of sur prise may well be omitted. Being of an Inquiring trend, he searched further and brought out as fine a wardrobe as modiste ana laaie' rurnlsher ever sent forth. Somewhere along the line the baggage man made a mistake and somewhere else along the line there Is a woman pining for her misguided wearing apparel.
