DrinI1. were on MIR. Cannon.

Representative Joseph G.. Cannon of
Illinois is one of the most talked-of
men in Congress. His conspicuous po-
sition in the chair of Randall, Car
Isle, Reed and Crisp rivets attention
upon his sturdy and goodnatured per-
sohality, developing some of the best
stories of the cloak rooms.
One story told by a Western MEM
her is thoroughly characteristic of
rUncle joe" 1t is not generally known
outside the Capitol that for three years
prior to the election of Mr.. Cannon for
the speakership he was not on speak
ing terms with Representative William
lP. Hepburn, one of the strong men on
the Republican side, and the man who
made the speech in the Republican
caucus placing the name of Cannon in
: nomination for the speakership. The
! esfrangement between the two lead
ers dated back to a lively debate, dur
ing which Cannon and Hepburn crossed
swords. Becoming intense, Cannon
said
THE gentleman from Iowa, with all
of his vehemence, is still insincere."
The retort came from the Iowan
quickly:
2 'The gentleman from Illinois, with
All of his Vehemence, states what he
lQHowsis not true"
Inc reply OF HEPBURN settled II Win
Uncle joe" who did not relish the
idea of being called a liar in parlia-
mentary language. Hepburn, too, was
stubborn, and refused to have the re-
mark expunged from the Congressional
Record. The result was that the two
leaders reluctantly noticed each other
as they passed during three sessions of
Congress.
Some time after it became evident
that Cannon would be the Speaker of
the present Congress, Representative
James r. Mann of Illinois made an APP
pointment for Mr.. Cannon to meet him
at the Metropolitan Club at 2:30 p. m.
Representative James A. Tawney of
Minnesota made an appointment to
meet Representative Hepburn at the
same place and hour The engage
ments were kept. The estranged con-
gressmen entered the club almost 81
simultaneously, to find Representatives
Tawney and Mann already exploding
with. laughter. UNCLE Joe" took in the
situation at glance, and, looking to-
ward Hepburn. said, Col Pete, the
drinks are on me. Shake!" The for
mer friendship of the two men was
renewed that afternoon, and when the
lamps were lighted the two congress-
men were still pleasantly chatting over

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Washington Post Qnd.) says:
Representative Hardwick proposes to
use the law in preventing the sale of
political influence. A more popular
measure with the politicians would be
a law to protect man from losing
political influence"

would perhaps be popular in this coun-
try. IT, however, those who wish to
see it brought about use the same tao
tics as have prevailed in the Cuban
negotiations, then there can be little
doubt that serious opposition would de-
Velop and that in the end the thing
might have to be whipped through as
the Cuban matter has BEEN
The Louisville Courier-Journal (Dem.)
says: Another big strike-that of the
Chicago street car employes-has gone
the way of most strikes, against the
strikers. And. considering the demands
of the strikers, it was bound to go
that way. No employer, individual or
corporation, is fit to conduct a business

The Philadelphia Record (Dem.) says:
Some of our learned contemporaries
who are trying to make fish of seces-
sion at home and flesh of secession
abroad are laboring to prove that Pam
anna had right to secede which South
Carolina did not have. The right of
an American state to secede was sus-
tanned by large portion of the people,
and by eminent constitutional lawyers
from the time. the constitution was
adopted till the right Of secession went
down in the defeat of arms at Apo
mattox. Besides the resolutions of 1898,
and many individual expressions, the
voice of New England was raised to
the same purpose when Mr.. Quincy of
Massachusetts, in 1911, predicted that
the carving of states out of the Louis
lana purchase would destroy the as
cendancy of his section OF the country
and compel it to seeede, as a measure

HELPING CHAMBERLAIN.

The attack which Senator Hale of
Maine made upon Joseph Chamber
lain the other day, in his speech in the
Senate, is calculated to help Mr.. Cham
berlain in his efforts to have England
adopt a system of differential tariffs.
Senator Hale referred to Mr.. Cham
berlain as the most adventurous poll
tician in colonial experience"
There is no doubt that Mr.. Cham
berlain is making a remarkable fight
for the policy which he is advocating,
and for the purpose of advocating
which he lett the British cabinet.
When he proposed it the wage-earners
very generally opposed it on the ground
that it would make food dearer.
Strange to say. that class of people
appears to be accepting his views to
such an extent that it is attracting a
great deal of attention. He seems to
be convincing them that the wage
Garner would not have TO pay more
for what he eats under the protective
system than he does now, and that
his chances of earning better wages
would be greatly improved.
Recently he called for contributions
to help along his cause, and the re-
sponses exceeded all expectations
They ranged all the way from $4,000
to few shillings. Some of the small
contributors wrote that they were not
able to give much, but that they
wanted to say they were not afraid OF
the dear Loaf bogy.
There is no doubt of course that il
Mr. Chamberlain should be successful
we should have a commercial war with
Great Britain. 1t was while speak
ing of the possibility of such a wal
that Senator Hale made the foregoing
| remark about Mr.. Chamberlain. He
also said that a commercial war with
Great Britain would in all probability
result in the annexation of Canada to
the United States. No one can fore
cast with any degree of certainty the
outcome of the tariff movement which
Mr.. Chamberlain has inaugurated In
England.

PRInE vs.. CASH.

day or two ago we called atten-
ton to the struggle going on between
the House and the Senate as to which
should dominate in matters where joint
action was required. Heretofore the
Senate has calmly assumed a superior
ity that has been exasperating to the
House. 1t has, in effect, said: We
will lead the way, you follow.
Congress was called together in ex-
ira session for the purpose of acting.
on the bill to put in operation the Gu
ban reciprocity treaty. The House
promptly passed the bill and the SEN
ate, after discussing it for a brief
period, decided to take a vote upon it
on Dec. 10. 1t then indicated it's de-
to adjourn the extra session until the
business for which the session was
called was transacted.
The Senate said nothing. but waited
in silence. 1t made no effort to change
its programme. 1t probably knew
that the members of the House would
begin to get uneasy within a day or
two and would to protest to the Speak
er that it was useless to continue the
session longer; that it was clearly the
purpose of the Senate to do nothing.
And a big pressure is being brought
to bear upon the Speaker to consent
to an adjournment. OF course the
House would like to compel the SEN
ate to recede from it's position and act
upon the Cuban bill. 1t would feel a
pride in a victory of that kind, but
it looks as if the Senate meant to sit
it out until the regular meeting of
Congress on Dec. 7.
That is just what the House doesn't
want it to do. 1t wants to adjourn,
because unless Congress does adjourn
before the time for it to meet in reg
ular session it's members will not be
able to draw mileage for going to
Washington from their respective
homes.
For many of the members mileage
is a pretty big item. One member
draws as much as $1,000 for each ses-
sion. AS twenty cents a mile is al
lowed to each member for every mile
he travels from his home to the Cap
itol it can be readily seen that mileage
is well worth looking after. Those
who live the furtherest away from
Washington, of course, draw the larg-
est amounts. Quite number, it is
said, are paid more than $1,000 each
1t looks, therefore, as if the Speaker
will lose some of his popularity if he
doesn't yield to the Senate and permit
an adjournment. The House seems
willing to pocket its pride if, by so do
ing. it can at the same time pocket
very desirable amount of cash.

THE BOND QUESTION TO THE
FRONT

1t is announced that the new British
ambassador, Sir Henry Mortimer Du-
rand, viii reach Washington to-day,
and that the first matter to which he
viii give his attention is the protest of
the British holders of the bonds of CO.
lombia, in which the claim is made that
Panama should assume a part of Co
lombia's debt. What the British am
bassador can do in the matter beyond
asking our government to use its infu-
ence with Panama in favor of the
bondholJers isn't apparent
Panama has practically said through
her junta that she wouldn't pay cent
of Colombias debt, mainly for the rea-
son that she had never received any
benefits from the money for which the
bonds were given. Suppose Panama
holds to that position, will Great Brit
ain undertake to use coercive meas
ures? Will she lend Colombia a help
ing hand if the latter should make an
effort to recover control of Panama?
1t looks as if there We're a chance
for complications with Great Britain
in regard to this matter of bonds. That
Power hasn't yet recognized the repub-
lie of Panama, and evidently doesn't
intend to do so until she gets salts
faction respecting this bond question.
If Great Britain should give encour-
agement and aid to Colombia in the
latters effort to restore the integrity
of her territory, what position would
our government take? Would it go to
the aid of Panama? And Holland, too,
wants Panama to assume a share of
Colombia's debt. Some of her citi-
zens own Colombia bonds. She is in
sympathy with the position which Great
Britain has taken in the matter.
1t would go hard with the men who
compose the Panama junta to give up
any portion of the $10,000,00O which
the United States propose to pay her
for canal concessions. They are look
ing with greedy eyes upon that pile
TO get their hands upon it that they
have agreed to ratify the canal treaty,
which their minister at Washington has
negotiated with our government, with
out ever having seen it. Doubtless
they would give away the entire 18TH
mus rather than miss getting posses
sion of that gold.
But it will be some time before they
will be permitted to look upon it. The
money for canal concessions will not
be paid until all questions affecting
Panamas status are settled. British
diplomacy is slow and our Senate will
not be in a hurry to ratify the treaty.
AS the situation now presents itself it
will be some months before questions
affecting Panama, which are now pre-
senting themselves, will be adjusted.

A minister was in the county Jail hav-
ing a talk with the prisoners. He is a
kind-hearted old gentleman, and he
wandered about shaking hands with
the unfortunates, at the same time
giving each word of encouragement,
says the Pittsburg Press.
Finally the minister reached the top
tier, and there he found a darby doing
some work along the range. AS it was
Sunday the minister asked him why he
was working on that day. The darky
replied that the work had to be done
and he thought he would do it when he
had a good opportunity.
How long will you be here?" asked
the man in the ministerial garb.
well. I dunno, boss replied the COL
ored man, continuing his work.
do you think it will be long?"
"NO, 4 guess not, boss"
Are you serving time for dsorderly
conduct ?"
The darby drew himself up to his full
hight and replied, with considerable
dignity; No, sab. Use no common
criminal; Use a highway robber."

Several patents having recently been
issued for automatic guns, the maya
zine Recreation is out with a protest
against their use and an appeal to
sportsmen to discourage their manu-
facture. The automatic gun is one that
can be discharged several times per
second. A covey of partridges getting
up before marksman armed with such
a gun would be decimated before it
could get to cover. 1t is argued that
hunting with such a gun is more in the
nature of going out for slaughter than
for sport. There ought to be state
laws prohibiting the use of such guns
in hunting birds or other game.

An interesting case went to Bos-

exclusive and very swell Back Bay
district. A family who rented apart
ments in the building sought to have
their lease annulled, on the ground
that the place was infested with those
creatures which, having no wings at
all, get there all the same. Owing
to the presence of these permanent
dwellers, said the lessee, his family's
peace and comfort had been destroyed;
both sleeping and waking they were
annoyed. and they could not find rest

the unhappy householder to pay the
