- CHICAGO, NowMhe bishops
of tha Methodist Episcopal Church
ire not of one mind respecting the
case of Speaker Cannon. A number
of them' lome time ago declared their
disapproval of hii attitude during
the last Congress of the question of
legislation applicable to -the liquor
'question aa it touched prohibition
states. Last week the board of bish
ops was in session ' In Indianapolis.
Bishop Hamilton of Boston, former
ly located in San Francisco, prepar
ed a letter while in , Indianapolis tq
the Northwestern Christian advocate
in which he distinctly declined to op
pose Mr. Cannon's re-election and
expressed") his confidence In? the
Speaker's uprightness and, correct
ness on, the liquor" question. , !
' It is known too, that Bishop Ham
ilton does not stand among the bish
ops alone In his view on Mr. Can
non. More than one of his colleagues
is said to have urged him to write
the letter dissenting from the criti
cisms of the speaker,
; The Christian Advocate on Wed
nesday, it is expected, will print the
Hamilton letter. In order that hla
vlewt might be known before elec
tion day the bishop gave for publi
cation here a copy of his . letter,
"To the Editor of the Northwes
tern Christian Advocate: I have been
asked, as several of the bishops have
been for the reason why I did not
join some of my colleagues in pro
testing against the re-election of the
Hon. Joseph 0. ' Cannon to the

the intricate political tinikrstaiidiiigs
among the politicians in the Eastern
and Middle states.
"I did know that certain members
of the committee of general confer
ence which visited the speaker of the
House of Representatives In Wash
ington in May felt that they had been
cavalierly? treated, or more humor
ously entertained ' than "comported
with th serious mission upon which
they had been, sent and they felt that
the denomination representing "fully
one fifth of the population of the en
tire nation deserved more respectful
consideration.
"I was quite aa willing to rebuke
trifling ' in high places when the evil
in question was one that had cost
the world, at Mr. Gladstone asserted,
greater suffering and loss than had
been incurred by war, pestilence and
famine combined. " i
"And much aa I respected the
chief officers of the , government, J
was aa ready to help defeat anyone
of them who by 'Hint squint or si
lent conspiracy' as Mr, Taft said, had
intimated that he preferred the sup'
port of the saloon to that of the
churches. We shave, "V notorious ex

was once ambitious to be the candi

' " I knew Mr. Cannon personally
and could not believe that he would
tend himself or the, influence of his
high position to oppose any honest
endeavor to secure Yair expression
of the -will of the) people on the one
subject so much irt the mind of the
whole country. '"'"'" - '- , j

straightforward interrogatory letter
asking him if h4 had 'Directly, or
indirectly sought to hinder legisla

in congress In the matter of the fed

prohibitory states.
"He t replied ao candidly that he
not opposed the legislation and had
not intended to treat the general con
ference committee disresepctfully
that I was bound to accept his state

confirmed promptly by Mr. Little

addressed him : on the same' subject,
I felt justified in , declining to op

NEW YORK, Nov 2 Archbishop
Farley of the New York diocese of
the Roman Catholic Church, yester
day preached' his first sermon since
his return from Rome, whither he
went to take part in the celebration
of the golden jubilee of Pope Pius X.
In the course of his discourse he
thus described his meeting with the
Pontiff: ; '
"As you all know it has been my
happiness and great grace to have
knelt recently at the feet of our Ho
ly Father, Pius X, and to have re
ceived the : apostolic benediction of
the Vicar of Christ for myself, my
devoted clergy and the faithfuj peo
ple 01 tms arcn-oioccse.
"When I entered and knelt he sal
uted me with a bright smile. I took
his hand and kissed it but he seized
mine with his two hands and pressed
it affectionately. ' Then he made mc
sit down, drawing near to him a
chair for me. He was standing until
then. When he was seated I also sat
down. I then told him I , had come
to rejoice with him on the occasion
of his jubilee and in my own name,
the name of all the clergy and all
the faithful of the "' archdiocese of
New York, to lay at his feet the free
will offering of their hearts. I theq
proffered the offering which I may
say, in spite of the exaggerated re
ports that had been circulated, was
$60,000. I could see that he was sur
prised at the offering.
" 'This is magnificent,' he said. 'It
is royal, but the best offering is the
love of faithful hearts such as are in
the archdiocese of New York.'"
WASIilliGROIl LETTER
WASHINGTON, Nov.' 2.--The
National ' Conservation Commis
sion is compiling for publication in
sinele volume all the laws and
court decisions, both State and Fed-
ral. which relate to the use of water
in the United States. This manual
will be of immense practical value
and it is somewhat remarkable, con
sidering the wide number of inter
ests which are touched by these laws,
that no such compilation has been
made before this. With the constant
ly trowing demand for inter-State
waterways, the increasing utilization
of water power for the development
of electricity, and the widening areas
of semi-arid Western plains that are
being made arable through irrigation,
these laws at the present time effect
the interests of a wide variety of in
dividuals and corporations, and tn
the immediate future the number
whose business is directly touched
will beyond doubt be greatly in
creased. The work which the National Con
servation Commission is doing along
this line is extremely thorough and
the compilation will be complete. It
ill include all "State and National
statutes and all court decisions which
concern water . rights and kindred
questions on both navigable and non-
navisable streams and lakes. The ci
tations will include all acts which re
late to riparian rights, and public
usufruct of water, and all statutes
whicn concern mius, pollution 01 wa
ter, interference with navigation or
the use of streams for pow-er, damn
ing of streams, diverting streamflow,
and so on in short, air acts which
effect the use of waters and their
private appropriation to power or
other purposes. In the book will be
included also some authoritative dis
cussion of the principles involved in
these laws. "
The National Conservation Com
mission in its endeavor to make the
compilation absolutely complete ' and
accurate has called upon the Govern
ors of all the States for assistance
and the replies in every instance have
promised support. Considerably more
than half the States have already ap
pointed State Conservation Com
missions for the specific purpose of
cooperating with the National Com
mission in its work of gathering the
1
tlie report to the 1'rci'K'iit t!i first
of the year, In the other States the
State officials whose work most near
ly touches this project are at work,
A single volume containing all the
laws which bear upon the use of wa
ters in the various parts of the coun
try, will be an exceedingly useful ref
erence' handbook. It holds possibil
ities of an eveq greater usefulness in
that it will exhibit within limits that
make ready comparison possible, not
only the general tendences of the
laws and decisions on this subject,
but the discrepancies that exist be
tween the regulations of different
States, ,y. y,,
The fear is frequently expressed
that the tendency toward monopoli
zation of water power, which has al
ready made very great progress in
some parti of the country, will re
sult in practically all of this ex
tremely valuable resource passing
from the people as a whole into the
hands of comparatively .a few men,
with resulting higher .cost of water
power and water-developed electric
ity to consumers and a tremendous
advantage to the few possessors. ( If
this danger is justified by the pres
ent laws, it Is a matter of great im
portance to make this fact apparent
at once. For this purpose nothing
could be more effective than such a
presentation of all the laws on the
subject as that whiph the Commis
sion contemplates.
