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.

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.

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.
