Next Capitol Trial Not Until January
The third trial arising out of the
Capitol scandal will not likely be
started in the Dauphin countv
WUI1 uu"' me tatter part of Janu
ary, practically on the anniversary
of the start of the first trial, which
resulted in tue conviction of Hus.
ton, Sanderson, Snyder and Math
ues. District Att6rney Weiss has
withdrawn the motion asking that
November 23 be fixed . as the date
tor starting the next trial. The
withdrawal was allowed, and at
the same time the court gave Mr
Weiss permission to resubmit the
motion later.
Because of regular terms of court
and the Christmas holidays which
intervene, it is not likely that the
date for trial will be fixed before
the latter part of January.
iae case to be tried next has
not been designated by the Com
monwealth although it has been
selected. It will probably not be
named until the date for trial is fix
ed by the court.
HON. JOHN G. McHENRY.
We believe the re-election of our
present representative in Congrtss,
Hon. John G. McHenry, is a fore
gone conclusion. Every indication
points that way, and indeed, there
is no reason why he should net be
returned.
This district has never been rep
resented by a man who, without
previous wide-spread reputation.
uhs so soon sprung into prominence,
and his ability recognized by being
placed on important committees at
his first session.
No representative has ever given
more attention to pensions, nor been
more successful in procuring them.
His personal attention and persist
ence have procured for many needy
anu deserving tanulies their just
recognition. In this resrwr nnr
indeed in auy others.he has not been
merely tne Democratic Congress
man, but he has been, and will con
tinue to be, the representative of
the people, regardless of politics.
I he only consideration has been
"Is it a worthy claim ?" and Dem
ocrats and Republicans alike have
reaped the benefit of his efficient
services.
His speeches in Coneresa nn thn
subject of pensions have been ad
mirable ones, as have all others
which he has made. Thev sh
not only an unusual versatilitv W
are marked by careful preparation
ana a iammarity with the subjects
which he has advocated.
In a speech delivered on Februa
ry 3, iqo8 on the increase of
sions of widows and minor children,
wr. Mcnenry closed by saying:
"Mr. Speaker. I feel kfen1r nn
this subject of pensions and grow
inpatient wneu these tales of sor
row come to my ears. Out of the
abundance in this land of plenty
there ought to be enough to shiflH

only just to say that Congress has

ows of our soldiers. To my mind
there should be no discrimination
in the allotment of TiensioiKi Lptnm
the soldier and the widow, and if I

proposition, however Tha ns.iHIn
bill provides for a uniform pension
of $12 a month for the
soldiers of the wars, and it shnniH
be passed by the unanimous vote of
Congress. It is just and proper.
The wives and mothers of the rrm ti

develops patriotism nnd
citizenship. More than tht
they shape destinies for good, and
their comfort, if not their compe
tence, should be the first considera-

lii formula, of oil our nodlolnu.
Repudiation by three Republican
aspirants for congress in Iowa of
Speaker Joseph G. Cannon is indi
cative of the increasing hostility to
his re-election to a position which
he has used to stifle the will of the
people. "Uncle Joe" is a load that
has become almost too heavy for
his party to shoulder, and It need
not be surprising if sufficient oppo
sition develops to curb his tyranni
cal and misdirected power.
A bitter struggle is being waged
against speaKer L-annon in Ins Illi
nois district, but he is so firmly en
trenched that his opponents despair
oi accomplishing ins overthrow.
The next best thing, therefore is
for the people of the country to
demand of aspirants for consress
ional honors an unequivocal pledge
mat tney, it elected, will not vote
for his re-election as speaker, should
the calamity of his return to con
gress again be visited upon the na
tion. No Republican who is in accord
with President Roosevelt can hold
admiration for "Uncle Joe." He
consistently and determinedly op
posed measures advocated by the
chief executive, and stood firm
against every relief demanded by
the people. He is the representative
of special interests, a- practical
scheming politician, the antithesis
of the ideal public servant.
Every voter ought to make plain
to suppliants for his suffrage his es
timate of Speaker Cannon and urge
that he not be re-elected to the
speakership. As long as he occu
pies this position there is little rea-
son to expect that congress will be
responsive to the popular will. A
law unto himself, his pleasure para
mount to every other consideration.
ana regarding the people as mere
dumb driven cattle, "Uncle Joe" is
sumciently powerful and sufficiently i
unscrupulous to block the most
righteous and most urgently-needed
measures relieving the oppressions
irom wnicn tne masses are suffering.

A supplement to the Record and
orar mis weeic contains the speech
jonn j mctienry, delivered at
Bedford Springs last week. The
subject is "Government G
of Bank Deposits," a feature of the
present nnancial problem that s at
tracting much attention. Th
speech shows a thorough research
into every leature of the subject,
and it is presented in Mr. MrHn.
ry's usual straight-forward, sincere
anu unequivocal manner. We
commend the speech to our renrWc
as worthy of the perusal of all who
wish to acquaint themselves with
this important subject, assuring
them that in no other way will they
gei a more ciear and concise under
standing. It will also aid in tihnw.
ing why Mr. McHenry has so rap
idly risen to prominence in political
auu nuanciai circles. Earnest, able,
a deep thinker and an avowed
champion of the best interest of the
people, he has attained a moit fu-
Viable Position in the recrnrH nnrl
confidence of his constituents, and
well earned the title of one of the
best representatives this dlstrirt haa
had in the national house.
