NEW STORY ON CANNON.
Postmaster General Turned Trick ON
the Congressman.

Here is good newspaper story
told at the expense of Uncle Joe"
Cannon: Congressman Cannon was
not always so powerful In Washington
as he has been of late years.
He tells with glee OF visit he once
paid to the postoffice department,
when blunt Frank Hatton was post
master general. He took with him a
constituent who wanted to be post
master OF his village. Cannon was
bitterly opposed to him. but did not
want to turn him down openly. When
they reached the department. Cannon
left the would-be postmaster outside
the screen door and went in to see
Hatton.
He told Hatton he intended to bring
the man in and ask for the place for
him. but begged Hatton to refuse IL.
where's the man?" asked Hatton.
Just outside the door" Cannon re-
piled. In that case" said Hatton.
raising his voice so he could be heard
a city block, 81 want you to know l
have lying enough TO do here without
lying for you. Bring him in." Cam
non brought him in and Hatton bland
ly appointed him.

Any kind of vaudeville or light
meiodrama can get full house in
washington and Oregon towns" said
Prof R. A. Heritage, who recently
gave high class musical perform
ance at the NJ. f. church in this CITY
out lecture on an intellectual sub
Jeet, or musical concert or a drama
win moral and a meaning to it, are
but sparingly patronized.
In Spokane are four vaudeville
houses running every night. filled To
the very doors. There is nothing to
the performances. Many of the pro-
grams and numbers are absolutely
vulgar and many more of them are
suggestive and immoral, and yet peo-
pie of seemingly good sense and
tastes are seen there, while the high
class lectures, the better class Of
drama, the concert and all entertain
ments purely intellectual and eleyat-
ing, are patronized by but few OF
the most advanced thinkers and edu-
Gators.
Il think the tendency is dangerous.
l think the tastes that are thus de-
based are responsible for the extremes
TO which the immoral shows carry
their programs of obscenity and sug-
gestiveness.
Il have visited most every great
country on earth, and | am frank to
say that the tendency toward these
low forms of entertainment is
stronger in the Northwest than in any
place l ever visited.
1T is not that there are no highly
intelligent people in this country. II
is not that the people are worse here
than elsewhere. but 1t is all due to
the fact that people of the best char
acter and highest intelligence tolerate
and permit such tendency instead Of
stamping it out by denying such per-
formances room or place in the COM
munity. Very few good people in
dorse these things, but they tolerate
them, and thus place the stamp of ap-
proval upon them.
II hope to see a revival of the pure
stage and the elevating entertain
ment on the Pacific. coast. The intel
ligence of the people is of standard
that the very best can be keenly ap-
preciated. Lectures and high class
drama and music should take the
place of the cheap. meaningless shows
that now occupy most of the stages,

Prices rule at 70 cents per square
yard, and with the bonus of 25 cents
paid by the city, the cost is made
very reasonable. The original inten-

about one fourth the cost, instead Of
over third. and there is some talk of
reducing the bonus.

WIDOWS PENSIONS.

''If the soldiers widowss.i the state
of Minnesota knew what rights they
have under the pension department
and should prosecute the claims which
they have allowed to DROP" said
Assistant Adjt Gen. Oscar .Seebach
to q Minneapolis Tribune reporter, ::''I
believe 1t would result in the securing
of nearly q half million dollars in
backpay by Minnesota women.
Hundreds of claims for pensions
have been dropped simply because the
widows could not furnish proof of
legal marriage to the soldiers. As a
matter of fact. this is not necessary
and has not been for over year.
This department took up the matter Of
legal marriage requirements and Sc
cured ruling from the secretary OF
the interior about a year ago by
II freooanise com:
mon law marriage in this state.
It is therefore very easy matter to
secure pension claim, although the
proofs of legal marriage are wanted.
Many widows who are in desperate
straits could secure almost immediate
relief II they would take up their
claims and carry them further
Major Seebach has made several sd-
dresses to veterans upon the interpre-
ration of the recent pension ruling
