WORST OF ALL MOSQUITOES.
Annoying Insects That lnfest District
OF Maryland.

The champion mosquitoes OF the
world, according to a traveller, are
those of Taylor's island. on the Chop
tank river, Maryland. They are often
half an inch long and are perfectly
black, with white feet. They do not
sing and their bite is like the sting OF
a bee. People who are obliged to go
out OF doors wear as a protection
hoop on their heads from which hangs
a netting, which is belted to the waist.
They carry about them a piece OF rat
pork, which when applied to sting
or bite acts as an antidote. The Chop
tank river region is the great market
garden of Baltimore, Philadelphia and
other Eastern cities. and one theory
to account for the remarkable size OF
the mosquitoes is that they feed on
the splendid fruits and vegetables
which grow so luxuriantly there and
are thus fattened to a far greater de-
gree than their brothers who live In
less favored localities.

ception of single term, when the
Farmers Alliance made a temporary
break in the old party lines, and elect
ed an obscure farmer-banker in his
place.
When it is recalled that Mr.. Cannon
got his early legislative training with
such men as Blaine, Hoar, Garfield
and many Others almost equally
famous, it will readily be seen that
few men in public life at the present
time have enjoyed similar privileges.
1t must have been an inspiration to
the young congressman from "out
west" to be associated with these
statesmen in the national legislature
and to come in contact with Morton,
Logan, Sherman, Sumner and others
who had already won fame in the
service of their country. We can
easily believe that the political am BIZ
tions of the coming statesman were
fired to an intense heat as he listened
to the debates of Blaine and Garfield,
the giants of the north, with Hill and
Lamar, the giants Of the south.
There WE'RE giants in those days, and
there were occasions that melted
them to battle like giants. TO have
been witness to events that occurr-
ed in the halls of Congress in the de-
cades Immediately following the civil
war, was to have been favored as few
men of our day have been favored.

ed TO all parts of the country, and the
questions that gave rise to the fercest
struggles in Congress, had to be fought
out on the stump. Indeed it was
necessary to fight over many times
during the campaigns that followed
the civil war, the questions that grew
out of that war. 1t was during this
intensely interesting period of our
national life that Mr.. Cannon began
his political career.
1t Is no cXaggeration to say that
Joe" Cannon, as he was then called
by his friends and constituents was
one of the most forcible stump speak
ers and effective campaigners in what
is now known as the middle west"
And while Mr.. Cannon was always
alert between sessions in looking after
his political fences, he was no less
careful to look after the needs and
wishes of his constituents when Con-
gress was in session.
1t was his ability as a keen far-sight-
ed politician that made it possible for
him to serve his district, his state and
his country SO long and so effectively
as Il legislator and statesman.
When Mr.. Cannon first went to
Congress it was generally conceded
that the west had little influence in
the legislative affairs of the country
compared with that of the east, on
account of the frequent changes in
the PERSONNEL Of her representatives
and senators.
The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1903-12-09

1t soon became apparent that Mr..
Cannon possessed unusual ability, as
a debater: that he was clear headed
and fair-minded in legislative matters;
that he wasonc Of the most indefatigu-
able workers i'm the House, but IL he
had not retained his seat long enough
to make himself thoroughly known
and familiar with men and measures,
as well as with the "ins' and "outs"
of legislative proceedings, he could
not have attained his present position
in the public mind and service.
Fortunately for his constituents,
and for the whole country, the former
have shown their appreciation of his
worth and ability by retaining him all
these years as their representative.
Fortunately for Mr.. Cannon him
self, he has persistently refused to
accept any other position than the
one with whose needs and require
mcnts he has long been familiar.
Whether he saw the day from afar
when he should become third man in
position in the nation and the second
in power it matters not. but that he
! has attained such place by hard
work, real ability and sterling integrity
is a fact that has practically become
| history.

They had been compelled to leave
their early home IN New England on

While Mr.. Cannon was still boy,

which have been the best capital Of
all our self-made men. He also at

clerkship in a country store.
Doubtless the discipline in self

of human nature acquired I'm the

Academy were important factors in
later successes of this typical Ameri-

Hon. Joseph G.. Cannon who has
received the unanimous Endorsement
of his colleagues for the speakership
of the House Of Represe natives will
probably receive more attention dur

other man in Washington, if not in

Mr. Cannon is in a position TO WELD

any other man with the possible ex-

Everyone is anxious to know some

Mr.. Cannon was born in North Caro-

young attorney, were to be developed
by cultivation and hard work.
To practice law in Illinois in the
days previous to the printed decisions
of the Supreme Court of the State
required a kind of ability and in
genuity not unlike that which is
essential to success in any other
pioneer work. AS some one has said,
swift and eloquence counted for more
before jury or popular assembly in
those days than knowledge of the
legal points involved" However, Mr..
Cannon was not less thorough as a
student of law when he was keen and
resourceful in wit. His reputation
as 4 lawyer steadily increased and
within few years he was regarded as
one of the best lawyers in that part of
the State.
AS early as 1860 Mr.. Cannon became
interested i'm politics, and in that
year, rode on horseback through the
prairie swampS to Decatur to attend
a convention. that endorsed Mr.. Lin

event he was elected prosecuting
attorney for Douglass county, posi-

then but thirtv-SiX years old, was
elected representative from the old
