The Next Speaker.

Representative Hendersons canvass for
the speakership nomination next December
has progressed with remarkable facility
and success. and the result is that today,
only a few weeks after the announcement
of Mr.. Reeds retirement from the con-
gressiOnal field. the Iowa member is prac-
ticaIly assured of the post. This is a
gratifying outcome. Mr.. Henderson is in
all senses worthy to assume the gavel of
the House of Representatives.. His winning
personality. and his unblemshed record as
citizen, soldier and legislator have marked
him high among his colleagues in the
House His sixteen years of experience in
Congress have prepared him with excep-
tiOnal thorOughness for the responsible
position of Speaker. His familiarity with
parliamentary practice and with the GUS
toms and methods of the House equips him
now to take control. Gen. Henderson
stands shoulder to shoulder with the ad-
ministration and should he be elected
Speaker, as now seems certain. harmonious
cooperation between the White House and
the House Of Representatives would seem
to be assured. Locally, there is the best
Of reason why Gen. Henderson's success
should be applauded. Throughout mis- con-
gressional career he has been the advocate
OF wisely and justly liberal policy with re-
spect to the development of the national
capital His aid has been invoked on many
occasions to the advancement Of the ma
terial interests of the District, and never in
vain His term of office as Speaker of the
House ought to be a period of real local
progress. Washington heartily congratu-
lates the veteran soldier and legislator,
big-brained and big-hearted Dave Hender-
son, upon the remarkable canvass which
now draws to brilliantly successful close.

Resolutions passed by Wauseon Lodge,
l. o. o. F.:
Ever the mystery of life and death
comes up to disturb our daily life, to
shock our sensibilities, to remind us of
our helpiessness to avert the doom of
all that is mortal On earth.
Again the angel of death has visited
our circle, sat at our board, and, depart
ing, taken with him the spirit, the intelli-
gence, the Godlike part of our brother.
Ezra X. Spauldlng.
We mourn the loss OF the physical
presence of one who, early In the history
of our lodge, linked his life with ours
and lived and exemplified the precepts OF
our order from the time he first sat in
our councils up to the moment when,
stricken at his post, the spirit left the
body and returned to the God who gave it,
Kindly in spirit. faithful in purpose,
true to bis pledges, willing to the limit of
his strength in every coed work, his alb
sence will long be felt ! truly mourned
We cherish the mem ~ of his life and
the blessings that the contact with that
life brought to our lodge, and to each of
US in the true sense of brotherhood out
side the lodge room.
We transcribe these notes upon our
records, not as full tribute to the men,
DRY Of our brother, but to mark the time
when Ezra X. Spaulding in the body
ceased to grace our lodge room; when
all that was mortal of our brother passed
from view, and only the imperlshable ma
ture of the man we loved remained as our
legacy from an honest and upright life.
