DEMOCRATS OBJECT
TO CANNON'S PLAN
Bitter Against Reduction of
Representation.

Speaker Cannon is accused by the
Democrats in the House of desiring TO
deprive them of their fair representation
on the committees. Minority Leader
John Sharp Williams, backed by asso-
ciates who have reached town. has
earnestly protested to the Speaker
against his proposal to reduce the num-
Der of Democrats and increase the num-
Der of Republicans on the Important
committees
AT present the latter are divided IN
the ratio of eleven Republicans to six
Democrats. This. it is pointed out by
the Democrats, is almost exactly in
proportion TO The membership of The
parties in the body.
Speaker Cannon's Plan.
But the Speaker. it is explained. hav-
irg an increased number of Republi-
cans 10 provide places for. proposes to
increase the number of Republicans to
twelve BY taking away on elace on
each committee from the d ocrats:

This would leave the committees twelve
to six. and would give the Republicans

a whole

disposed TO make even this concession.

ANNUAL REPORTS
Must See Them Before They
Become Public.

Unrestrained publicity for reports
handled by the Navy Department is not
altogether a good thing. according to
Secretary Bonaparte.
lie has ordered that the annual re-
ports of the navy bureau chiefs which
have not yet been made public shall be
withheld until he has an opportunity TO
read them. and possibly until the ap-
pearance ef !iis own report.
This is the result OF the publicity at
tending the remarks and recommenda-
lions of Rear Admiral c. W. Rae. en-
gineer-in-ehief of the navy. on the sub
ieet OF naval personnel.
Rae Caused It.
The bureau chief went pretty thor
oughiy into the question of the need of
navy engineers. and III the course of his
comments remarked that the navy was
not IN a position 10 win battles owing
10 the lack of trained engineers and the
failure Of the Navy Department TO pro-
vide engineer officers for ships OF war.
This assertion has attracted much at
tention, especially abroad, and is CON
sidered TO have been an injudieious
statement to make. admitting it to be
true.
In this connection. fl VIII be remen-
bered shat Admiral Rae has made pub
lie statement that he had nothing to
do with making his report public. and
chat il went through the regular official
channels
There is no subject which is ar
preached more gingerly or every hand
by those in authority than anything
g-hich has TO do with the naval person
ael and ia ths& general subject com
,nent t1pon naval engineering is regarded
as inviting peril 10 the author. Most
naval officers believe that the annual
reports of bureau chiefs should not be
edited, and that the opinions expressed .
in that quarter should not be Influenced /
by higher authority unless il is desired (
that the Independence OF chiefs shah be

Editing Hereafter.
The great trouble has been that the
head OF the department has little time

ments have largely been ignored on

BY Grace G. B0sGwick

We dream of the noble things We'll do
OF the helpful words We'll say,
OF the hearts We'll cheer and the hurts We'll mend
When our ship comes up the bay.
But alas for the day that is passing by
With a kindly deed
And alas for the hearts that are breaking now
For the want of kind words to speed
We tell of the wondrous gifts We'll give
To the helpless and sick and poor
How none that may want shall be turned away
From the shelter of our door;
But we wait for our ship that never comes in,
And we let the years 60 by,
Till our kind thoughts fade in the misty past
And our hopes in the graveyard lie
Then pray, let US do what we can each day
To Tighten earth's sorrow and care,
Let US smile and speak kindly and strive as we may
To give of ourselves share;
For our ship is like castles in Spain, our own
AS long as the dream may last
But when dreams slip their anchor and drift away
Their white sails are lost in the past.

Amusing Little Stories for Little Folks

OF the princess and If It were taken of
and worn by another the princess would
die.
Once on the occasion of his daughters
birthday the rajah presented her with
pair of slippers, studded with pearls and
diamonds. The princess went into the
mountain to gather flowers, and while
STOPPING one of her slippers dropped off and
fell into the forest below.
A prince who was hunting in this forest,
picked up the lost slipper. Noticing its
smallness and rare beauty, he desired 70
make the owner his wife. This wish Of the
prince was made known throughout the
empire, and although great wealth was
promised to anyone bringing information
concerning the owner of the slipper no
one appeared to claim it.
The prince became very unhappy He
gave up all his pleasures and devoted his
life to the search.
After many months had passed without
success some people from the rajahs coun-
try heard of the princes desire and told
him where the princess who owned the
slipper could be found. The prince visited
her and, finding her lovely beyond his
hopes, a royal wedding quickly followed.
Some time after another wife of the
prince-in India a prince has many wives
being jealous Of the new wife, stole her
golden necklace and put it around her own
neck. The rajahs daughter died, but her
body did not change nor her face lose its
bloom and life-like beauty She lay in
state in the royal palace, where every day
the prince went to see her. He loved her
as ardently when she was alive, and
called the wise men from far and near to
tell him why this was so, and why no
change came over the face and form Of his
loved companion.
The wise men could not give any reason
that satisfied the prince. He never would
have known the truth had 1t not been for a
little serving maid, who, dearly loving the
princess while she lived, was found one
day weeping by her bier when the prince
arrived to mourn his loss
This little maid told the prince Of the

the three little maids" These are little
bisque dolls with long flaxen hair, dressed
in frocks to match the color scheme of the

One holds a dainty square pin cushion,
embroidered and edged with lace. in her
outstretched arms; in the lap of another
rests small glass globe covered with silk
and made to draw up around the mouth
with pretty frill in draw string style.
