was getting old. but liecatise he was
doing It gracefully. Mr. Cannon did
two things which might worry many
a younger man. l irst he ha.l.to sign
something over a thousand photo
graphs of himself, w hich were given to
the guests as souvenirs, and again he
shook hands with the guests upon re
ceiving an equal number of personal
congratulations.
There were many sly dl's and re
marks regarding the buzzing of the
pit sideutial hi-e around Mr. Cannon's
In ad, and one of the throng remarked
at the dose of the reception, "Any man
who can stand and shake hands wit!i
twelve hundred or more persons be
tween nine and twelve o'clock, and not
show signs of fatigue, is well lit to
enter the presidential race, and ought
to enjoy the prize If he wins it."

Moral decorations, Mr. Cannon, how

Speaker will be the first Southern man
since the war to become n White

Speaking seriously of the presidency,
Mr. Cannon said. "No man would de
cline to become President of the
I'nited States, but not all men can af
ford lo lie a candidate for the place.
The bee Is not bothering me. I want
to do my work as Speaker: that will be
glory enough for me, and if I were
a candidate I'd have to lie about my

fear and trembling, not as to whether
I'm doing my duty, but as to whether,
by doing my duty. I wouldn't give of

customary for these distinguished
base ball enthusiasts to betake them
selves to National Park for an after
noon of enjoyment, rooting for their

ment life by going out to the ball
game whenever they can steal away
from their desks. They generally sit

to base hits and errors. Attorney Gen

heart for the catcher, having played
that position when he was a collegian.
Vice-President Fairbanks wants a

tlie national game, his favorite place
being just back of lirst base, where he
can command an uninterrupted view

Surgeon General Wyinan was ;

health he tinds his greatest enjoyment
in witnessing n c' unpionship contest
between two evenly matched teams.
One of the lirst things Prof. Willis
Moore of the Weather P.ureau looks
for In bis morning newspaper Is the

upon the fact, however, that he has
not been a spectator, for the professor
never fails to answer present when

A Kindly Smile.
Mrs. Coxe has the same kindly greet
ing for every one, whether he be the
miner, blackened with the grime and

that In the home there should be im
portant training of the children, but
the Idea is never advanced excepting in
a spirit of kindliness and of the broad
est kind of sympathy. Her love for
the masses is not simulated; it is the
joy of her heart. She has paid the rent
for many a widow and orphan; has
helped out so that the little ones may
attend school, and has provided the
mother with employment so that the
home may be kept together.
Mrs. Coxa's home, like her life, is the
paragon of modesty; she leads the
"simple life" in all its real simplicity.
Her chief aim seems to bo to assist the
poor and needy. She has no pet phil
anthropies; there are no endless calls
upon her time from society folk; there
are no wonderful gowns, no costly mil
linery; no splendor of jewels, laces or
sables adorn her person. It is not,
after all. the charity which she dis
penses that has won for her the love
and admiration of the toilers of the
mines, and that of their wives aud lit
tle ones, but it is the purity of her
character that constantly teaches a
beautiful lesson, not only to the mining
town, but to the world at large which
may study to its own Improvement the
generous, unselfish, sacrificing life ot
this noble woman.

A SURE SAFEGUARD.
CO-OPERATION AMONG PRODUC
ERS A FOUND A TIOS FOR AN EN
I URINO SOCIAL STRUCTURE
An Address by George H. Maxwell
at Hloomington, III., Showing How
This Principle Will Overcome Op
pression by Combination of Capital.
Mr. President and Gentlemen cf the
Convention :
I am a tirofonn I believer in the capa
city of the human race to work out the
high destiny of which it Is capable If
its genius is rightly directed. I am u
most extreme optimist in my expec
tations of what the people of this na
tion will eventually accomplish In se
curing in fact, us well us in theory not
only equal rights, but equal opportun
ity for all men and the achievement by
a 11 our people of the highest average
standard of life of which all are cap
able and which can Ik.- brought within
the reach of all.
Unless, this is accomplished our
I toasted civilization will lie but n
wave on the great ocean of time, ris
ing Into a brief existence, only to ls
submerged, as all the civilizations that
have gone Is-fore us have tsen sub
merged. iH'tioath the rottenness and
corruption which has followed in
evitably in the wake of vast acenmu
Irtlon of wealth, and the gradual ab
sorption of the laud into great estates.
HANDWIJITING ON THE WALL.
Already in this country the hand
writing is on the wall, and he who
runs may read the warning which
P.yron painted In words when he
wrote;
"There is n niornl of all human tales,
'TIs Imt tlie Ki.ine rehearsal of the past.
First freedom, ami then Klory when that
fulls.
Wealth, vln, rrrnptlon barbarism at
last.
Anil Iils",ry, with all her volumes vast,
Jlath but' one pane."
Our history will not t written on
that page, and I am here to tell you
why, and to tell you that your move
ment lu the line of co-operation is one
of the reasons why we will escape the
fate that has at last destroyed all the
great nations of the past.
Put we have already reached the
stage of "wealth vice corruption."
No one who knows what goes on lu this
country doubts that for a moment.
If any one questions it he should read
the recently published I took entitled
"The Shame of the CUP - " by Lincoln
StefTens.
How are these dangers to be safe
guarded against?
THE CAK OF JUGGERNAUT.
It cannot be done by purifying tho
cities, liecatise they cannot be purified.
Man will not rise above his environ
ment or the dominating influence of
that environment, and the influence
which controls all things in our mod
ern city is the mad race for wealth.
It is a car of juggernaut which crushes
public and private integrity and
morality aud every just conception of
patriotism under its wheels us it rolls
ruthlessly onward, 'driven by tlie
multitude who are rady to sacrifice
not only themselves, but their country
in the great gamble for quickly gained
wealth.
We closed up the Louisiana lottery
in a burst of righteous public indigna
tion, because it was encouraging the
gambling mania and corrupting the
people.
The district attorney of New York
has recently set the machinery of the
law in motion to stop the operations of
a gambler named Cantield.
lu St. Louis and Grand Kapids the
foul brood of bribe-givers uud brilie
takcrs has btvn held up to derision
and disgrace, aud a few of them may
be punished.
COO PE U AT I V E COM M O N WEALTH
Hut we have gone so far that cor
ruption has become a business system
and conditions in our cities will breed
two corrupiionists where one is pun
ished. Those conditions gel worse and
worse as the prolits of preying upon
the people become greater with the
Increase of the population of our cities;
und our political and social Institutions
are rotting at their very sour"
The corruption of our cities will in
evitably taint and in the end control
our national politics and the adminis
tration of our national government
Unless
Aud here Is tlie only safeguard
Unless we plant the great majority
of our people on the soil and maintain
it there, and the people themselves
learn to do for themselves by co
operation, so that in the eud we shall
eventually become a great co-operative
commonwealth.
I urn not proposing socialism, as its
devotees understand it, or as it is
usually defined and understood, as a
remedy.
1 am proposing the exact opposite
of It.
I am proposing the very highest
form of Individual rights, opportunity,
activity and development.
Socialism is to dream about doing
things, and to begin at the wrong eud
and fail.
Co-operation Is to do things, and to
begin at the right end aud succeed.
Co-operation Is evolution not revo
lution. Evolution is the law of God.
Evolution is the natural law which
has controlled the creation of tho
earth and all that there is on It.
It Is the law of the development of
the huuniu race, and we need only to
leant its lessons and study it as u
method for the solution of every social
problem to Have the people of this
nation from the soclalNand polltlcul
dangers that confront them to-day.
The trouble with most theories for
the reform or betterment of social con
ditions is that they ure too radical.
Keformers of that class pluu an at
tractive tlxry. and then urge Its adop
tion all at once an a nuhstltute for
social conditions which have been a
Hlow growth through the centuries.
GROWTH MUST BE GRADUAL.
They would create n tree Instantly
anil have It all complete and ficrfcet at
It creation, doing it while you watch
thern, like a Hindoo Juggler. They
are not content to plant tlie aconi and
let the stnnly oak of social strength
grow gradually In accordance with the
law of nature and as was Intended by
the all-wise Creator.
I5ut we cannot charge Nature's
la ws.
They are as unchangeable as thp
stars.
Whatever men may do they rnuat
first learn to do.
Every oppression from which tho
producers of this country or any other
sufferer to-day Is le-anse they have
not learned or lpn trained to do for
themselves the things which they
leave it to others to do for them.
And those to whom they leave such
things to le done, plan to make the
greatest jxwslble profit to themselves
for doing them.
It is human nature that they should
and always has been and always will
tie so.
THE DELUSIONS OF TOLITICS.
The delusion that yon can protect
producers from such oppressions by
making laws or by electing this man
or that man to office or putting this
political party or that political party
In power. Is a delusion which has long
been maintained by a multitude of
jieople.
l!ut It Is only a question of time
when those who are misguided by this
delusion will awaken from their
dream, and learn that there Is no help
for them but to help themselves and
do things for themselves.
.This great movement In the direc
tion of doing things for themselves by
eo-oiierative methods among producers
from the land is something more than
a mere question of profit and loss.
It is the slow awakening of a slum
bering giant, who Is just beginning to
feel his strength, and when he has
finally raised himself up to his full
height, and trained his mind so that
it can direct for his own protection all
the faculties which God has given him,
he will look back with surprise and
astonishment at the days when he
imagined he was bound hand and foot
by the Liliputiuns by whom he was
surrounded.
AWAKENING OF THE GIANT.
And it Is in the awakening and
training of this giant a symbolical
embodiment of the abilities and ener
gies of the people themselves, which
is the hoie of this nation for the
future.
You cannot oppress a man who
draws the rewards of his toil straight
from nature's treasure vaults gets it
from the land itself land which he
owns land on which no money lender
holds a mortgage provided, always,
that that man has learned to co-operate
with his fellow men of the same
class, to do for themselves the things
which it is lieyoud the iower of the
individual man to do for himself the
things which require the combined
uud co-operative effort of many men
to accomplish.
THE PHILOSOFHY OF UUSK1N.
The broad solution of our social
problems which 1 am presenting to
you contemplates the creation of con
ditions in this country under which)
we will carry into practical effect the?
sound philosophy of Kuskin when he
said:
"Hut since we live in an epoch of
change aud too, probably, of revolu
tion, und thoughts which are not to
lie put aside are in the minds of all
meu capable of thought, I am obliged
to atlirui the one principle which can
and in the end will close all epochs
of revolution that each man shall
possess the ground he can use, and uu
more."
It contemplates as a part of our
public school system that every boy
should be trained so that he will know
how to till the land for a livelihood.
It contemplates that the rush to the
cities shall be stopped by the better
ment of all the conditions of rural life
good roads, near-by neighbors, rural
telephones, net works of electric rail
ways, rural free delivery, thickly
settled communities and towns and
villages In close proximity to every
farm home, so that every farmer may
enjoy as well as the city dweller the
advantages of schools and churches
und libraries and gymnasiums, and
where art and music may be studied
for enjoyment in the home as well as
lu the cities.
It contemplates that wherever the
thing to be done for the benefit of
such a community requires the effort
of more than one man, thut those who
require to have the thing done for
them, whatever It may be, shall com
bine together uud do It for themselves,
provided It is within reach of the
united und co-operative energy and
capital of the aggregated number of
individuals who require to huve the
thing done for them.
In this category are creameries,
laundries, rural telephones, associa
tions for the co-operative purchase of
supplies, associations for the sale or
disposition of the products of the soil,
and inuny other ussociutious which I
might mention for mutual economy,
mutual benefit or mutual protection.
In sections where irrigation la
necessary, co-operative canal systems
und irrigation works come within this
category; und in many purls of the
country where irrigation is not now
generally supposed to be necessary,
co-oieratlve pumping plants might be
established among farmers for the
irrigation of luuds which they could
