"Without or with offense to friends or foes I sketch your world exactly as it goes." BYRON Reaping Reward Political and financial operations of James Cannon, Jr., of Virginia, Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal church, South, have culminated in an effort within the church for his un frocking. The Virginia conference in session at Richmond has adopted a resolution, not naming the Bishop but con demning the entry of preachers into politicis and calling upon the next quadrennial general conference of the church in Dallas, Texas, in October, 1930, to take "remedial action" which is generally believed to be the first step toward prefer ment of charges against him. Bishop Cannon, it will be remembered, headed the oppo sition to Governor Smith in the South, and was held largely responsible for the deflection to the Republican column, a result largely due to his raising the religious issue. He it is who has fathered the coalition of Anti-Smith Democrats and Republicans in Virginia in the gubernatorial campaign now in progress. The Bishop's opening blast in the Virginia campaign which is a contest between Professor Brown, a Presbyterian, and Professor Pollard, a Baptist, again raised the religious is sue by declaring that Chairman Raskob of the national Dem ocratic committee was "a Roman Catholic Knight of Colum bus and a Chamberlain of the Pope's household" who has "insulted the Protestant ministry and is attempting to rally "all the Roman Catholic votes." This strategy worked all right in 1928 as one of the presidential candidates was a Catholic, but as the Democratic National Committee is keeping its hands off the Virginia campaign, and nobody is trying to elect Raskob governor, or anything else, the issue has fallen so flat, that the Bishop has left for Brazil, evidently to evade responsibility for the impending disaster at the polls. The Richmond conference is presided over by Bishop Denny of Winchester, Va., who warned his auditors that Cannon's political activities are "plunging the church toward a schism as deep as that which split the northern and south ern branches of Methodism before the civil war." In addres sing the class for admission, Bishop Denny said: The bare fact that a moral question Is Involved In politics does not give you the right to go Into partisan politics and If you do so you go in at the danger of your spiritual influence. There was never a man who vent Into politics In the history of the church who did not. damage his Influence. My soul has been saddened by a multitude of letters that have come to me from all over this territory, saying "If this thing Is not stopped we are going to leave the church." Brethren, we have none to lose. As unethical as Bishop Cannon's bucket shop .gambling and financial operations have been, we think the principal count against him is his appeal in pulpit and press to bigotry and his activity in stirring up a medieval spirit of fanatical intolerance against brother Christians in a land where re ligious freedom and the right to worship according to the dictates of conscience is a fundamental of liberty. For this alone, Bishop Cannon deserves unfrocking. We Have With Us THOMAS BENJAMIN KAY Words anj Music by Murray Wade Is,. - pi ' ) 1 n ( How Tariffs are Made Though scarcely launched in its investigation of the lobby, the cnate committee has already brought out some pertinent facts as to how tariffs are made. The beet sugar industry admitted spending half a million in the past few years, to influence tariff legislation and probably the probe will reveal similar activities and expenditures by other bene ficiaries. Testimony by Senator Bingham confirms the con tention that the Hawlcy-Smoot bill has been formulated for the benefit of eastern manufacturing interests. He admitted "borrowing" an assistant to the president of the Connecticut Manufacturers' association to prepare schedules of duties in the senate finance committee in their interest, who drew pay both from the government and the manufacturers. This agent of the manufacturers evidently kept the latter posted and was highly commended by them for securing them satisfactory schedules. "You have done a great deal more than we bargained for in the beginning. Undoubtedly the results you have accomplished are far reaching and will bear fruits for some time" wrote the president of the associ ation to the senator's borrowed assistant. One of the accomplishments of this manufacturers' ad vised senate committee, called together to draft a tariff bill for the benefit of agriculture, was to cut down the tariff duty on wool and raise the tariff on steel and manufactures. AU of which shows how the proposed tariff will aid the farmer. Mr. Kay Is the only man ever elected state treasurer for two terms and also received the largest vote ever received by any man In Oregon for any office. He was born In Tren ton, N. J, Feb. 28, 1804, and came to Oregon before he was a year old. His father came to Salem to work for the Willamette Woolen Manu facturing company then In North Salem In 1863 and his wife brought their children the next year, com ing by the Panama railroad. When the Salem mull burned the Kays moved to Ellendale and then to Brownsville, where a new woolen mill had Just been built. As soon as young Tom Kay was tall enough he began spooling, working ten hours a day for fifty cents a day. He made such progress that when he was thirteen he was a good wea ver and drew a man's wages. When twenty years old he went to Port land to work In a wholesale and re tail men's clothing store. In 1884 he bought a half Interest in a store In McMinnville which he conducted until he came to Salem to become assistant manager under his father at the Thos. Kay TVooler mills. Up on the death of his father In 1900 he was elected president and man ager of this company, which ofllce he has since held. He has always been very active In civic affairs, pol itics and snorts. Has done much to advance the flax Industry In the Willamette valley. On a recent European trip he got ptomaine poison, the effects of which have kept him from getting his annual buck, the first he has missed for thirty years. His political record briefly is: McMinnville coun cil, two terms and school board one term; represented Marlon county in the lower house, 1902-3 and 1905-6; In the senate 1907-9; state treasurer 1911-1919; representative 1921-1923; re-elected state treasurer In 1921 and again In 1928. He Is a Mason. Koyal Arch chapter of Masonry, Knight Templar and Shrincr, Elk, Woodman of the World, honorary member of the Cherrians and a member of the chamber of commerce. He has been a member nf the Y. M. C. A. board Avenging an "Insult" Because Mayor Livesley appointed councilnien on the newly created incinerator committee who would carry out progressive policies and not try to undo everything construc tive he was attempting, the Statesman informs us that the mayor is "to lose the high authority" of being permitted to select committees, and the aggrieved councilnien themselves will select committees, thus further decentralizing govern ment and leaving tho mayor an irresponsible figurehead, without administrative or executive power. We do not blame these councilnien for being grieved, for if there ever was a committee they are temperamentally fitted for, it is the incinerator committee, to supervise the gathering of garbage and the destruction of things. That is the one committee they ought to function well upon, though even on this they would probably mark time to restore the city dump of former administrations. So the extent of the "in sult" can be well imagined. Of courso the strategy of the council is as transparent as the circumambient air. They desire to make it so dis agreeable and unpleasant personally for the mayor and his efforts to do something such a futility that he will resign in disgust and they can elect one of themselves mayor under whose administration the community can drift peacefully back to the do-nothing village days of wooden bridges. These ccunciimen take themselves very seriously. Their little brief authority has gone to their spinal knots. If they only had a saving sense of humor, they would realize that they are making themselves ridiculous. "Married Life" Not Worth While Blames Wives' "Nervet" "Weak nerves," said a New Yorkdoc tor recently, "in my estimation wreck more happily married lives than any other cause." ( Besides making the sweetest disposi tion sour and irritable, nervousness is a terrible drain oa your vital forces it saps your youth and your strength and dulls your beauty.

C 9 1 kV t .sfVMl t fe. ? STORIES . -NW mm i By Mary Graham Bonner TUB CAVE APARTMENT John and Peggy were ahead of time. The Little Black Clock stood upon the desk in the back hall with his hands pointed to show It was 7 o'clock though that wasn't the correct time at all. The ' Little Black Clock remained at 7 o'clock all the time that is as far as the world knew. But John and Peggy knew of his reward. For being willing to re main at 7 o'clock to all the rest of the members of the family, he was given the magic that allowed him to turn himself backward or for ward to any hour at all. "What shall It be tonight?" he asked John and Peggy, "snail turn way ahead or way behind, or a Utile ahead or a little behind?" Let'a turn the time a couple of hundred years ahead or so, sug gested Peggy. No sooner had she said this than the Little Black Clock stepped down from his place on the desk, stretched his bands and said: I'm sure you ll need a new apartment. It's so noisy now." "But we have a nice house," said John. He had hardly spoken than the whole scene changed and there was so much noise everywhere. "I really advise a cave," said the Llttb Black Clock. "A cave?" John asked. "A cave" Peggy echoed. "Yes," said the Little Black Clock, "the noise from those air planes Is becoming so great that I think If you found a nice, quiet cave to live in you d be more com fortable." "Let's try It." John said. la the Little Black Clock whisked them away to a quiet, dark, nice cave. And then the Lime mart- .or suggested that they should hart something to eat.
