Canning Cannon
- A : movement to deprive Bishop James Cannon Jr. of his
.fx episcopal honors is reported on foot among the clergy of
.the- Methodist Episcopal church. South. The charges to be
preferred against him are his political activities in opposition
to Al Smith for president; his stock market speculation; and
his alleged misuse of funds of one of the church boards of
which he was treasurer in financing the early campaign
rainst Smith in the south. This appears to be no season
I i
oxprayer and mediation and yearning lor the restoration 01
a backsliding brother. The way the dish is being prepared
it jooks like a stealthy mixture of bad medicine which the
puritan bishop is to be forced to take.
Our suspicion is that Cannon's offense was that he broke
the solid south. The unreconstructed bishops of course would
rather see a democrat of Al Smith's sponginess as president
than an arid republican. If Virginia and Florida and Texas
and. Tennessee and North Carolina had gone democratic, Can
non would probably not have been called on to mount Gol
gatha. He would merely have been mourned as a brother be
loved and prayed back into full communion. But the shock
to entrenched religio-political hegemony in the south which
the Cannon rebellion gave is too much for the bishops who
still venerate the rebel yell.
. Senator Glass of course has been whetting his scalping
knife, and the senator is a communicant of Cannon's church.
He is no doubt able to get several good denominational lead
ers to mix the brew for Cannon.

Construct an elaborate building surrounded by shining aide

"We share the News-Reporter's op-ale that a monumental

"Why not reproduce at Champoeg a typical pioneer settlement

frontier cabins with their crude scant furnishings, there might bo

quaint old community houses at Aurora might be preserved at Cham,

a reproduction of one of the big wooden lodges which Lewis, and
Clark found In use by the Indians might contain specimens of Indian
arts and crafts.
"Not only would simple buildings, such as these, preserve the
